Characterizatoin of Longitudinal Thermal Conductivity of Graphene Film

Paper in proceeding, 2021

The chase of high performance by chip manufacturers has greatly increased the power consumption of integrated circuits, which brings great challenges to the heat dissipation of electronics systems. It has also slowed down following up of the Moore's Law, and it is expected to hit the wall soon [1]. Graphene film with high in-plane thermal conductivity is one of the key materials to make it possible for electronics industry to continue to follow the Moore's Law. However, there are few studies focusing on the longitudinal thermal conductivity of graphene films. The purpose of this study is to investigate the longitudinal thermal conductivity of graphene films according to ASTM D5470 [2]. The results show that the longitudinal thermal conductivity of the pressed graphene film is greater than that of the unpressurized graphene film. The longitudinal thermal conductivity is 10.6 W/m· K for the unpressurized graphene film and 20.6 W/m· K for the pressed graphene film.
