N2 - Thermal management technology is a critical element in all new chip generations, caused by a power multiplication combined with a size reduction. A heat sink, mounted on a base plate, requires the use of special materials possessing both high thermal conductivity (TC) and a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that matches semiconductor materials as well as certain packaging ceramics. In this study, TC, CTE, and microstructure are measured for sintered compacts from nano tungsten coated copper powder. A finite element model is developed to investigate the effects of solid volume fraction, grain size, contiguity, porosity, and impurities on thermal conductivity. The predictions are compared to the experimentally measured values. Processing routes for optimal microstructures are identified.
