Thermal interface materials (TIMs) must reduce interfacial thermal resistance while withstanding stresses such as vibration and humidity. Traditional TIMs cannot meet this requirement. Thermal paste, for example, performs well with micron-level surface matching and precise clamping, but is prone to contamination and increases the difficulty of automated assembly. Ordinary … [Read more...]
Vapor Chambers vs. Thermal Pads: How to Choose the Right Thermal Solution for High-Performance Electronics
Thermal management has become one of the defining challenges in modern electronics design. Across data centers, AI and machine learning hardware, power electronics, and compact consumer devices, heat generation continues to rise as performance expectations increase. Higher power densities, faster processing speeds, and smaller form factors are placing sustained pressure on … [Read more...]
High-Performance Copper Tungsten Cold Plates for Direct-to-Chip Single-Phase Liquid Cooling
In April 2025, Google announced its 1 MW 42U rack [1], marking a turning point in data center thermal management where traditional air cooling can no longer support the extreme power densities of modern hardware. As chip thermal design power (TDP) continues to grow, data centers must replace air-cooled heat sinks with liquid-cooled cold plates [2]. Cold plates transfer heat … [Read more...]
