SiC heat dispersion for AI CHIPs application

2:35 pm - 2:55 pm

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is increasing power density and creating severe thermal challenges in modern CPU and GPU architectures, driving the need for new materials and packaging solutions. This presentation highlights silicon carbide (SiC)-based innovations for improved thermal management and next-generation AI performance.

We examine SiC material properties, the development of high–thermal conductivity SiC, and its use as a high-performance heat sink. With superior thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, and a favorable coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), SiC enables efficient heat dissipation and improved reliability in high-density packages.

We also evaluate SiC as an alternative interposer to silicon and glass, demonstrating its advantages in thermal performance and structural robustness for high-power AI applications.

Finally, a patented SiC cooling architecture with embedded microchannels enables direct coolant flow and enhanced heat removal.

Together, these approaches provide a pathway to improved thermal efficiency, performance, and reliability in advanced AI systems.
