ABSTRACTAn investigation of the temperature stability and high temperature characteristics of GaAs FETs on CVD diamond heat sinks was carried out by modeling the high temperature electrical characteristics for GaAs MESFETs and by experimentally measuring the elevated temperature performance. The thermal characteristics were determined experimentally using infrared microscopy techniques. The thermal measurements by infrared microscopy were correlated with results of a finite element analysis calculation of the GaAs FET thermal distribution. Reliability testing at 230°C resulted in an MTF of approximately 2000 hours.

Diamond materials have become progressively significant in the fabrication of heat sinks for power devices and lasers. To investigate the influence of polishing on CVD-Diamond, the surfaces of <100> and <110> coatings were analyzed, after a first abrasive treatment on a 30μm diamond grit by scanning thermal microscopy based on a resistive platinum-probe. This technique describes in first order approximation the heat transfer of a metal-diamond interface. Through this method it was possible to diagnose a relevant reduction in thermal conductivity by a harsh sample preparation depending on the crystal orientation. The thermal conductivity of as deposited <100> diamond was measured at 1290 W/mK and was reduced to 250 W/mK. The thermal conductivity of as deposited <110> diamond was determined at 1780 W/mK whereas the same diamond surface, but abraded, shows a thermal conductivity of just 460 W/mK. Additionally the received images which represents the thermal conductivity qualitatively bring forward micro structures like e.g. grain boundaries.

Virtually all recent reviews of the market potential for chemical vapour deposited (CVD) diamond have featured the thermal management of electronic semiconductor devices as an imminent application for this new material. There is an existing market for natural diamond substrates (‘heat sinks’) in sub-millimetre sizes, and their thermal performance has been extensively studied, CVD diamond heat sinks in millimetre and larger sizes are already in use, but there are constraints to their applicability arising from thermal and mechanical factors. Their advantages and limitations are discussed. The first ‘optical’ applications of CVD diamond films were as X-ray transmissive components (lithography masks and windows for soft X-ray detectors), but with improvements in the technology of CVD diamond growth a larger market for wide-band infrared transmissive windows is now developing. This results from the availability of large area (greater than 1000 mm 2 ) CVD diamond plates of adequate thickness and with transparency achieved through control of diamond grain size and orientation.
