  • Diamond air bridge for thermal management of high power devices
    Patent number: 10424643
    Abstract: A device structure and method for improving thermal management in highly scaled, high power electronic and optoelectronic devices such as GaN FET and AlGaN/GaN HEMT devices by implementing diamond air bridges into such devices to remove waste heat. The diamond air bridge can be formed from a polycrystalline diamond material layer which can be grown on the surface of a dielectric material layer, on the surface of a III-nitride material, or on the surface of a diamond polycrystalline nucleation layer, and may be optimized to have a high thermal conductivity at the growth interface with the underlying material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 23, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 24, 2019
    Assignee: The Government of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventors: Karl D. Hobart, Andrew D. Koehler, Francis J. Kub, Travis J. Anderson, Tatyana I. Feygelson, Marko J. Tadjer, Lunet E. Luna
