Seeking a route to high-performance power semiconductors, scientists in Japan have bonded gallium niride to a diamond substrate – the latter an insulator whose thermal conductivity is many times that of copper or silver. “The researchers succeed in the direct bonding of diamond and GaN at room temperature, and demonstrate that the bond can withstand ...
