Ceramic materials with low thermal conductivity and low coefficients of thermal expansion

Patent Brown, Jesse ; Hirschfeld, Deidre ; Liu, Dean-Mo ; Yang, Yaping ; Li, Tingkai ; Swanson, Robert E. ; Van Aken, Steven ; Kim, Jin-Min

Compositions having the general formula (Ca.sub.x Mg.sub.1-x)Zr.sub.4 (PO.sub.4).sub.6 where x is between 0.5 and 0.99 are produced by solid state and sol-gel processes. In a preferred embodiment, when x is between 0.5 and 0.8, the MgCZP materials have near-zero coefficients of thermal expansion. The MgCZPs of the present invention also show unusually low thermal conductivities, and are stable at high temperatures. Macrostructures formed from MgCZP are useful in a wide variety of high-temperature applications. In a preferred process, calcium, magnesium, and zirconium nitrate solutions have their pH adjusted to between 7 and 9 either before or after the addition ofmore »« less

High thermal conductivity connector having high electrical isolation

Patent Nieman, Ralph C. ; Gonczy, John D. ; Nicol, Thomas H.

A method and article for providing a low-thermal-resistance, high-electrical-isolation heat intercept connection. The connection method involves clamping, by thermal interference fit, an electrically isolating cylinder between an outer metallic ring and an inner metallic disk. The connection provides durable coupling of a heat sink and a heat source.

Composite material having high thermal conductivity and process for fabricating same

Patent Colella, Nicholas J. ; Davidson, Howard L. ; Kerns, John A. ; Makowiecki, Daniel M.

A process for fabricating a composite material such as that having high thermal conductivity and having specific application as a heat sink or heat spreader for high density integrated circuits. The composite material produced by this process has a thermal conductivity between that of diamond and copper, and basically consists of coated diamond particles dispersed in a high conductivity metal, such as copper. The composite material can be fabricated in small or relatively large sizes using inexpensive materials. The process basically consists, for example, of sputter coating diamond powder with several elements, including a carbide forming element and a brazeablemore »« less

High thermal conductivity lossy dielectric using a multi layer configuration

Patent Tiegs, Terry N. ; Kiggans, Jr., James O.

Systems and methods are described for loss dielectrics. A loss dielectric includes at least one high dielectric loss layer and at least one high thermal conductivity-electrically insulating layer adjacent the at least one high dielectric loss layer. A method of manufacturing a loss dielectric includes providing at least one high dielectric loss layer and providing at least one high thermal conductivity-electrically insulating layer adjacent the at least one high dielectric loss layer. The systems and methods provide advantages because the loss dielectrics are less costly and more environmentally friendly than the available alternatives.
