Diamond Thermal Management

From high-TC single-crystal substrates to polycrystalline wafers, diamond–copper materials and ultra-thin diamond films—engineered around the thermal path of the device.

We focus on the complete thermal interface. Nova can provide metallization, patterned metal layers, through-holes, bonding and custom mechanical integration so the diamond can be used directly inside the device package.

Integrated Thermal Solutions

Diamond is only one part of the thermal stack.

Real thermal performance depends on contact quality, metallization, bonding, packaging geometry and interface resistance. Nova can work from diamond material selection through metallization and bonding to the final integrated thermal structure.

Technical Scope

Diamond heat spreaders for GaN, SiC, RF, lasers and advanced electronics

Nova Crystal supplies single-crystal diamond heat spreaders, polycrystalline diamond wafers, diamond–copper thermal materials and ultra-thin diamond films. Single-crystal diamond can reach thermal conductivity up to 2200 W/m·K, while large-format polycrystalline diamond supports wafer-level integration. Diamond–copper structures provide a practical combination of heat spreading, electrical conductivity and machinability.

For ultra-thin integration, Nova provides MPCVD diamond films grown on silicon with controlled delamination/release. The released diamond layer can form a transferable, flexible membrane, allowing the high-thermal-conductivity film to be integrated closer to the active device region. Nova also supports metallization, patterned metal layers, through-holes, bonding and custom thermal-module design for complete heat-flow solutions.
