DIASEMI Diamond–SiC Composite

Redefining Thermal Management for Advanced Semiconductor Systems

At DIASEMI, we are advancing the frontier of thermal materials by solving one of the most critical bottlenecks in semiconductor packaging: the simultaneous optimization of thermal conductivity and thermal expansion compatibility.

Our latest innovation — Diamond–SiC composite material platform — delivers a breakthrough in both dimensions.


1. Performance Breakthrough: Engineering Beyond Traditional Limits

DIASEMI Diamond–SiC composites achieve:

Thermal Conductivity: >700 W/m·K

  • CTE: ~2.6 ppm/°C


This CTE is precisely engineered to match silicon (~2.5 ppm/°C), enabling:

  • <4% mismatch

  • Significantly reduced thermomechanical stress

  • Enhanced device reliability and lifetime

Breaking the Industry Trade-off

Conventional materials force a compromise:

DIASEMI Diamond–SiC uniquely delivers: ✔ High thermal conductivity ✔ Near-perfect silicon CTE match

Enabling true system-level thermal optimization, not partial improvement.


2. Designed for Next-Generation High Heat Flux Applications

As chip power density exceeds 500 W/cm² and moves toward kW-class regimes, legacy solutions are reaching physical limits.

DIASEMI Diamond–SiC composites are engineered for:

  • AI accelerators (GPU / NPU heat spreaders)

  • SiC & GaN power modules

  • High-power laser systems

  • Advanced semiconductor packaging substrates

Value Proposition

  • Superior heat spreading vs. Cu / AlN

  • Minimal thermal stress at die interface

  • High structural stability under thermal cycling

  • Compatibility with advanced packaging architectures


3. DIASEMI Dual Technology Platform

DIASEMI is not limited to a single material approach. We have built a complementary thermal materials platform:

(1) Ultra-High Conductivity CVD Diamond

Thermal conductivity: up to 2200 W/m·K

  • Thickness: 5–30 μm

  • Wafer scale: up to 8 inch

  • Surface roughness: Ra < 4 nm

Optimized for maximum heat spreading


(2) Diamond–SiC Engineered Composites

  • Tunable CTE (~2.6 ppm/°C)

  • High thermal conductivity (~700 W/m·K)

  • Excellent interface reliability

Optimized for integration and reliability


4. From Material Innovation to System Integration

At DIASEMI, we focus on end-to-end thermal solutions, not standalone materials.

Our portfolio includes:

  • Ultra-thin diamond heat spreaders

  • Diamond-based packaging substrates

  • Diamond–metal and ceramic composites

  • Wafer-scale integration solutions

This enables:

  • Direct compatibility with semiconductor processes

  • Scalable manufacturing

  • Full-stack thermal design capability


5. Strategic Impact

The introduction of DIASEMI Diamond–SiC composites marks a critical transition in the industry:

From “high thermal conductivity materials” → to “thermomechanically optimized system materials”

This shift is essential for:

  • AI infrastructure scaling

  • Wide bandgap semiconductor adoption

  • High-power photonics systems


6. DIASEMI Vision

We believe the future of semiconductor thermal management lies in:

  • Material precision engineering

  • Multi-physics optimization (thermal + mechanical)

  • Wafer-level integration

DIASEMI Diamond–SiC composites represent a foundational step toward that future.
