Why Heat Management Matters
Even the most advanced chips release 70–80% of their power as heat. Concentrated hotspots can reduce performance, shorten lifespan, and limit innovation. Northern Carbon diamonds solve this problem by moving heat away from critical regions 5× faster than copper, enabling electronics to operate at peak efficiency.
Benefits at a Glance
• Prevent hotspots for stable performance
• Reduce chip junction temperature to extend lifespan
• Maintain reliability in high-power and AI applications
M10 and M11
M10 and M11 are Northern Carbon’s engineered single-crystal diamond solutions for advanced thermal management. M10 is optimized for CPUs, GPUs, and laser diodes that require fast lateral heat spreading and precision-polished contact surfaces. M11 is designed for higher-power and more specialized applications, including AI accelerators, power amplifiers, and advanced optical systems where thermal performance and integration flexibility are critical.
M10
• Ideal for CPUs, GPUs, and laser diodes
• Rapid lateral heat spreading to prevent hotspots
• Precision-polished surfaces for reliable thermal contact
• Optional metallization for soldered integration
M11
• Designed for AI accelerators, power amplifiers, and next-gen electronics
• Thermal conductivity >2100 W/m·K (exceptional in-plane and vertical heat transfer)
• Nanometer-precision surface finish for maximum efficiency
• Flexible integration with high-current devices and complex assemblies
From Diamond Growth to Device Integration
Northern Carbon products are developed through a tightly controlled process that spans crystal growth, precision cutting, polishing, metallization, and final integration support. This ensures each plate is ready for demanding semiconductor and photonic environments.
Engineered from the Ground Up
Microwave-plasma CVD growth produces pure single-crystal diamond, which is then laser-cut and polished to nanometer or sub-nanometer precision.
Integrated for Maximum Performance
Gold metallization layers and soldered attachment ensure optimal heat transfer and electrical performance. Thickness is customized:
• 1µm for CPUs/GPUs
• 3–5µm for laser diodes
Ready for Real-World Applications
Deploy in CPUs, GPUs, AI accelerators, laser diodes, power amplifiers, and advanced manufacturing equipment by:
a) brazing or soldering the metallized heat spreader
or
b) direct bonding to the atomic level smooth surface of the unmetallized heat spreader
