Cu Mo Cu Base Flange Heat Sink
The Cu Mo Cu Base Flange Heat Sink adopts a sandwich structure design. It uses molybdenum (Mo) or molybdenum-copper alloy as the core layer, with high-purity copper (Cu) layers covering the top and bottom. It features efficient heat dissipation, thermal expansion matching, and lightweight characteristics. It is specifically designed for the base or flange applications of high-power electronic devices, significantly enhancing the reliability of the devices and extending their service life.
Product Features

1. Tailorable Thermal Expansion Coefficient (CTE)
(1) CMC (Cu/Mo/Cu):
The core layer is pure molybdenum (Mo), and the CTE can be precisely designed to match that of silicon chips (~4.2×10⁻⁶/K) or ceramic substrates, reducing the risk of solder joint cracking caused by thermal stress.
(2) CPC (Cu/MoCu/Cu):
The core layer is a molybdenum-copper alloy (such as Mo70Cu30), with a CTE of approximately 8.0×10⁻⁶/K. It balances both thermal conductivity and thermal compatibility, suitable for commercial high-power devices.
2. High Thermal Conductivity
The outer pure copper layer provides excellent in-plane heat diffusion capability, quickly conducting the local hotspots of the chip laterally to avoid local overheating.
The thermal conductivity of the CPC type can reach over 270 W/(m·K), meeting the requirements of high-frequency and high-power scenarios.
3. Resistance to Thermal Shock and High Reliability
The CMC type can withstand repeated thermal shocks at 850°C, with extremely high interface bonding strength, suitable for extreme environments such as aerospace.
The metallurgical bonding process (with a diffusion layer of approximately 0.7 μm) significantly improves thermal conductivity and thermal shock resistance, avoiding the performance degradation of low-end mechanical bonding products.
4. Lightweight Design
Compared to traditional tungsten-copper (WCu) materials, the density is reduced by approximately 40%, reducing the weight of the device, which is crucial for aerospace, portable devices, and other scenarios.
Application
Cu Mo Cu Base Flange Heat Sink is widely applied in the following fields, helping B-end customers enhance product performance and stability:
1. Wireless communication: Base heat sink for 5G base station power amplifiers (PA).
2. Optical communication: Heat management for laser diode (LD) mounts and optical module enclosures.
3. Aerospace: High-reliability heat dissipation for radar and satellite communication modules.
4. Industrial and medical: Cu Mo Cu heat sink for high-power semiconductor devices and medical equipment (such as laser treatment machines).
