In this paper, a copper foil-thick grapheme (thin graphite sheet)-copper foil structure is reported to achieve mechanically strong and high thermal conductive layer suitable for heat spreading components. Since graphene provides much higher thermal conductivity than copper, thick graphene embedded copper layer can achieve higher effective thermal conductivity which is proportional to graphene/copper thickness ratio. Since copper is nonreactive with carbon material which is graphene, chromium is used as adhesion layer to achieve copper-thick graphene-copper bonding for graphene embedded copper layer. Both sides of thick graphene were coated with chromium as an adhesion layer followed by copper by sputtering. The copper foil was bonded to sputtered copper layer on thick graphene. Angstrom's method was used to measure the thermal conductivity of fabricated copper-thick graphene-copper structure. The thermal conductivity of the copper-thick graphene-copper structures is measured as $686W/m{\cdot}K$ which is 1.6 times higher than thermal conductivity of pure copper.

An optimum heat sink for a 30 W chip on board (COB) LED down-light is designed, fabricated, and characterized. By using the SolidWorks Flow simulator and thermal analysis software, the thermal characteristics of the optimum heat sink is analyzed. Four different types of heat sink are simulated and an optimum structure of the heat sink is found. The simulated temperature of the heat sink when operating the LED down-light is $55.9^{\circ}C$, which is only a difference of $2^{\circ}C$ from the measured temperature. In order to reduce the temperature further, a copper spreader is introduced to the heat sink. The temperature of the heat sink with the copper spreader is $3^{\circ}C$ lower than without the copper spreader.

Thermal management is one of the critical aspects in the design of highly integrated microelectronic devices. The reliability of electronic components is limited not only to operating temperature but also by the thermal stresses caused during the operation. The need for higher power densities calls for use of advanced heat spreader materials. A copper diamond composite has been developed with high thermal conductivity $(\lambda)$ and tailorable coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). Copper diamond composites are processed via gas pressure assisted infiltration with different copper alloys. Emphasis has been placed on the addition of trace elements in deisgning the copper alloys to facilitate a compromise between thermal conductivity and mechanical adhesion. The interfaces between the alloy and the diamond are related to the thermal properties of these copper composites.

양극산화(anodization)공정으로 제작된 규칙성 나노구조의 다공성 산화알루미늄(Aluminum Anodic Oxide, AAO)는 공정이 적용된 LED 모듈은 비교적 쉽고 경제적이므로 최근 LED용 방열소재로 응용하기 위하여 다양하게 연구가 진행되고 있다. 일반적으로 LED 모듈은 알루미늄/폴리머/구리 회로층으로 구성되며 절연체 역할을 하는 폴리머는 히트스프레더로 구성되어있다. 그러나 열전도도가 낮은 폴리머로 인하여 LED부품의 열 방출이 원활하지 못하므로 LED의 수명단축 및 오작동에 영향을 미친다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 폴리머 대신 상대적으로 열전도도가 우수한 AAO를 양극산화 공정으로 제작하여 히트스프레더(heat spread)로 사용하였다. 이때, AAO와 금속인 구리 회로층간의 접착력을 향상시키기 위하여 스퍼터링 DBC(direct bonding copper)법으로 시드층(seed layer)을 형성한 뒤 최종적으로 전해도금공정으로 구리회로층을 형성하였다. 본 연구에서는 양극 산화공정으로 AAO와 금속간의 접착강도를 개선하여 1.18~1.45 kgf/cm와 같은 우수한 peel strength 값을 얻었다.

In this paper, thermal analysis of heatsink for 30 W class Chip-on-Board (COB) LED light source is performed by using SolidWorks Flow Simulation package. In order to increase the convection heat transfer, number of fin and shape of the heatsink is optimized. Furthermore, a copper spread is applied between the COB LED light source and the heatsink to mitigate the heat concentration on the heatsink. With the copper spread, the junction temperature between the COB LED light source and the heatsink is $50.9^{\circ}C$, which is $5.4^{\circ}C$ lower than the heatsink without the copper spread. Due to the improvement of the junction temperature, the light output is improved by 5.8% when the LED light source is stabilized. The temperature difference between the simulation and measured result of the heatsink with the copper spread is within $2^{\circ}C$, which verifies the validity of the thermal design method using a simulation package.

This paper presents the experimental investigation about miniature heat pipe for notebook PC. The focus of analysis is the operating temperature not to exceed $65^{\circ}C$ maximum allowable CPU surface temperature. Copper is used to heat pipe material and brass is wick material, and working fluid is selected to water. This cooling system is heat spreader method using a aluminum plate, since this method is most commonly used. According to the present study, heat for 3mm heat pipe, 8W, and for 4mm heat pipe, 10W, is found to power dissipation limit respectively, Soon after this investigation, sufficient long term life test should be followed.
