Performance Benefits

Impact & Performance

M10 is engineered to manage the most demanding thermal loads, keeping chips cool and reliable even under sustained, high-power operation.

01Targeting Chip Hotspots

Chips could release up to 65% of power as heat. M10 spreads concentrated heat 5× faster than copper to prevent hotspots.

02Extend Device Lifespan

Reducing junction temperature by 10°C can double chip reliability and throughput.

03Precision Engineering

Cut to micron tolerances and polished to nanometer or sub-nanometer precision for maximum thermal contact with chip and heat sink.

How It Works

Manufacturing & Integration

Each M10 plate is precision-engineered, metallized, and rigorously inspected to guarantee seamless integration into high-performance electronic systems.

Atomic-Level Precision

M10 plates are grown via advanced microwave-plasma CVD, laser-cut, and chemo-mechanically polished to nanometer- and sub-nanometer-level tolerances, ensuring maximum thermal contact for the most heat-sensitive chips.

Custom Metallization

Optional Ti/Pt/Au layers are available for M10, with thicknesses tailored to support specialized thermal, electrical, or RF conduction requirements.

Solder & Bonding Flexibility

M10 supports standard Au/Sn preforms for reliable thermal and electrical contact, with flexibility for applications requiring higher current-carrying capability

Rigorous QA & Metrology

Each M10 plate undergoes comprehensive automated metrology, verifying flatness, thermal consistency, and absence of inclusions. Third-party verification ensures maximum confidence in deployment.

Tailored Integration

M10 is engineered for direct integration into high-performance packages, including CPUs, GPUs, laser diodes, and power amplifiers, enabling immediate performance improvements with minimal adaptation.
