Copper thermal properties

In appUcations in which electrical conductivity is required, metals, copper, tungsten, molybdenum, and Kovar [12606-16-5] are the preferred chip-carrier materials. Metals have exceUent thermal conductivities. Tables 2 and 3 Ust the various materials used for substrates, along with their mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. 

The metal casting industry conventionally divides casting products into ferrous and nonferrous metals, in particular, iron-based, steel-based, aluminum-based, and copper-based castings. The other castings of low fractions include magnesium, lead, zinc, and their alloys. In the U.S., the foundry industry currently produces 11 million tons of metal product per year, with a shipment value of 19 billion. Of them, iron and steel accounted for 84% of metals cast.5 The remaining 15% of foundry operations are concerned with aluminum, copper, zinc, and lead production. Table 4.2 summarizes critical physical and thermal properties of aluminum, iron/steel, and cast iron. 

The major uses are in metallurgy, primarily as an additive to lead, copper, brass and many lead-base bearing alloys to improve their mechanical and thermal properties. Small amounts are added to lead in the manufacture of lead shot to improve its sphericity also added to lead-base cable sheathing and battery grid metal to improve hardness. Addition of very small quantities to copper enhances the corrosion resistance. It prevents cracking in brass.

The thermal conductivities of materials vary with temperature (Table 1-3). The variation of thermal conductivity over certain temperature ranges is negligible for some materials, but significant for others, as shown in Fig. 1-29. Tlie thermal conductivities of certain solids cxliibit dramatic increases at temperatures near absolute zero, when these solids become superconductors. For example, the conductivity of copper reaches a maximum value of about 20,000 W/m C at 20 K. which is about 50 limes the conductivity at room temperature. The Ihermal conductivities and other thermal properties of various materials are given in Tables A-3 to A 16. 

A different approach was taken by Kumar and associates [61]. Fie also embedded metals in polymers, but used as his precursor the polymer and not the monomer. In his first study a composite material containing amorphous Cu nanoparticles and nanocrystalline CU2O embedded in polyanUine matrices was prepared by a sonochemical method. These composite materials were obtained from the soni-cation of copper (II) acetate when aniline or 1% v/v aniline-water was used as the solvent. Mechanisms for the formation of these products are proposed and discussed. The physical and thermal properties of the as-prepared composite materials are presented. A band gap of 2.61 eV is estimated from optical measurements for the as-prepared CU2O in polyaniline. 

In addition to the copper/molten ligand method, the syntheses of [Cu(4-Xpz)2] (X = Cl, 16, and Br, 17) on treatment of Cu(OH)2 or Cu20 with excess 4-XpzH in refluxing xylene were described (36). Two forms of the 4-ClpzH derivative were obtained, one green and one brown. It was apparent from the X-ray powder diffraction pattern that the two forms are structurally distinct. While details of the structure of the brown form still remain unknown, comparison of its solubility and thermal properties with those of the structurally... 

Graphite shows very anisotropic thermal properties as a result of its crystal structure. This is because graphite possesses two-dimensional hexagonal network structures and the layers are held together very loosely by weak forces. For example, chemical vapor deposited carbon, which is manufactured with heat treatment at 3000°C after the deposition and possesses almost ideal graphite structures, has a thermal conductivity of 2,000 W/m-K (at room temperature) parallel to the layers and 10 W/m K in the perpendicular direction as shown in figure 1. This value in the parallel direction is approximately 4-5 times more than the value of silver or copper, which are typical high thermal conductivity metals. 

The water based poly(ester-imide) wire enamel from Table 3 has the same resin composition as the cresol free solvent based resin 2. It can be seen that the mechanical and thermal properties of the water based varnish are inferior to the noncresylic product. It was also found that minor amounts of drawing agent residues from copper wire manufacturing were highly detrimental to the surface quality of the enameled wires. 

Our earlier results on copper containing hydrotalcitcs showed some conversion for calcined samples, however, varied with the calcination temperature, although lesser compared to fresh hydrotalcitcs. In the case of CoNiAI ternary hydrotalcitcs, no activity was observed for all catalysts calcined at diffcrcnt temperatures ((150, 400, 600 and 800 0) temperatures were chosen based on the thermal properties of the materials). PXRD showed mixed metal oxide patterns where the composition of the phase is in relation to the Co/Ni atomic... 

Copper is a good conductor of electridty and because of this property is commonly used in many dectrical applications, induding home wiring. Copper and many of its alloys are also good conductors of heat, and this thermal property makes copper a good choice for heat... 

The thermal properties of polyesters are of the greatest importance for their end applications. The important features of a polymer, such as bond strength, inter-and intra-molecular forces, resonance stability, crystallinity, structural imperfections and molecular weight, are responsible for their thermal behaviour. Long oil polyester resin and styrenated polyester resin are made flame retardant by the incorporation of bis-pyridine, bis-tribromophenoxo copper complex and polydibromophenylene oxide. 

The thermal characteristics of NR-metal composites are close to the properties of metals, whereas the mechanical properties and the processing methods are typical of polymers.Thermally conducting, but electrically insulating, polymer-matrix composites are increasingly important for electronic packaging because the heat dissipation ability limits the reliability, performance and miniaturization of electronics.Thermal properties such as thermal conductivity, thermal dilfusivity and specific heat of metal (copper, zinc, Fe and bronze) powder-filled polymer composites are investigated experimentally in the range of filler content 0-24% by volume. ... 

A new LTCC material was designed to be able to sinter under 1000°C because of co-firing with copper conductor. The LTCC is composed of lead-free, Si02—AI2O3—MgO—ZnO—B2O3 system glass and ceramic fillers. In order to satisfy electrical and thermal properties, we adjusted the amount of crystalline phases precipitated after sintering [8]. 

In an attempt to marry the best characteristics of HTCC and LTCC, Kyocera has developed an intermediate-firing cofired ceramic, designated as A0600. This alumina material employs copper-based conductors. Thus, this composition enjoys the low electrical resistivity of Cu metallization along with the superior mechanical and thermal properties of alumina. A "broad-brush" comparison of this material to standard 92% alumina and a generic LTCC formulation is presented in Table 6.4. 

Electrical Resistivity. Like the thermal properties, the electrical resistivity of carbon fibers, measured along the axis, is similar to that of pyrolytic graphite in the ab direction and approximately an order of magnitude higher than metal conductors such as aluminum or copper, as shown in Table 8.11.
