Molybdenum-Copper Composite
Molybdenum-copper is a composite material. It has similar thermal properties to the tungsten-copper composite, but its lower density makes it more suitable for applications where weight limitations are a factor.Using a molybdenum skeleton and infiltrating it with copper, a variety of Mo:Cu ratios can be created to match the performance requirements of the application.
The standard ratio is: 70% Molybdenum: 30% Copper
Copper-Molybdenum-Copper Laminates (CuMoCu)
Cu/Mo/Cu laminates also have moderate thermal conductivity and low thermal and electrical resistance. They are suitable for Si-based devices as well as for large area power devices with significant heat generation.Thermal conductivity and the coefficient of thermal expansion-mismatch of a given die are some of the key parameters involved in selecting a heat spreader material. These two parameters can be calculated by introducing a Thermal Compatibility Factor for a given heat spreader material in a simple equation: ? (Heat Spreader) / A CTE (Die - Heat Spreader). The ensuing ratio may be utilized to assess the compatibility of a heat spreader material with a given die. A high compatibility factor results from a low coefficient of thermal expansion-mismatch and a high thermal conductivity value.
