Thermal Conductivity

From soft TIMs to CVD diamond: join our Thermal Live Fall 2026 session on thermal conductivity measurement Jeff Braun shows how one non-contact platform now measures materials from gels and pastes to diamond wafers, and...

Why the thermal bottleneck moved inside the package As dies get thinner and substrates and dielectrics shrink to reduce signal path length, the same geometry that helps electrical performance limits how effectively heat can spread....

Measuring thermal properties becomes significantly more difficult as materials and devices shrink. Conventional techniques like laser flash or guarded hot plate work well for bulk samples, but they rely on assumptions that break down at...

Introduction As semiconductors continue to improve, thermal management becomes increasingly critical. Current semiconductor devices are certainly stronger, smaller, and higher in power densities than previously created devices. However, semiconductor performance deteriorates in the presence of...

In exciting news for the field of thermal measurement, Laser Thermal has been awarded a Direct to Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). This award...
