Cu/Mo/Cu (CMC)  

  Cu/Mo/Cu (CMC) is a sandwich composite comprised of a molybdenum core layer and two copper clad layers.  It has custom CTE, high thermal conductivity and high strength. All types of Cu/Mo/Cu sheets can be stamped into components.

 

Features:

  • High thermal conductivity

  • Large sized sheets available (up to 400mmx 200mm)

  • Can be stamped into components

  • Very strong interface bonding which can repeatedly resist 850℃ heat shock

  • Tailorable CTE matching that of semiconductor and ceramic materials

  • High thermal conductivity

  • No magnetism

Cu/Mo70Cu/Cu (CPC)

Cu/Mo70/Cu (CPC) is a sandwich composite like Cu/Mo/Cu, including a Mo70-Cu alloy core layer and two copper clad layers.  The ratio of the thickness is 1:4:1. It has different CTE in X and Y direction, higher thermal conductivity than that of WCu, MCu, or Cu/Mo/Cu, and costs less. All types of Cu/Mo70Cu/Cu sheets can be stamped into components.

Features:

  • Higher thermal conductivity than Cu/Mo/Cu material

  • Large sized sheets available (up to 400mmx 200mm)

  • Can be stamped into components

  • Very strong interface bonding which can repeatedly resist 850℃ heat shock

  • Tailorable CTE matching that of semiconductor and ceramic materials

  • High thermall conductivity

  • No magnetism
