Abstract

The materials studied in this research, having a wide range of thermal conductivities, permit a study of the mechanisms which affect their behavior. Data on the thermal conductivity of several substrate materials, over a wide temperature range, were analyzed using the Klemens model. Parameters in this model, which include crystallite size and impurity concentration, are determined through a nonlinear least squares fitting routine and related, where possible, to values obtained by other techniques. This analysis predicts an achievable upper limit of 290 W/m.K for very high purity sintered AlN with 5 micron crystallites.
