Abstract

Not Available By selectively converting the carbon matrix of high conductivity C-C to SiC, a CTE tailored Hi-K thermal management material will be developed. Recycled A/C brake C-C and proven one-step low-cost Hi-K C-C will be selected for the proposed development activity. Used brake material will be further processed to maximize its thermal conductivity. Samples will be machined and CVR converted to silicon carbide. The resulting surfaces will be characterized. The compatibility and thermal performance between these materials and chip packaging substrates will be demonstrated. Technology and production cost will be assessed at the end of Phase I. These information will serve as the foundation for the Phase II proposal. In Phase II, the conversion process, the surface roughness, the efficiency of machining and many other related issues will be further studied. The source of worn C-C brake will be identified and secured for possible production. The conversion process will also be scaled up. It is anticipated that real applications, both at chip level and at MCM packaging level, will be identified and prototype components will be fabricated and evaluated for both military and commercial applications
