Single-Crystal Sapphire

Mission-critical thermal management materials

Precision insulating interposers for GPU die protection and advanced thermal management.

​GPU die → TIM → Sapphire → TIM → Heatsink

The opportunity

Better thermal paths, electrical isolation, and premium die protection.

Why sapphire between die and heatsink?

Electrically insulating: reduces shorting risk around bare dies and dense packages.

Hard and dimensionally stable: creates a precise, durable contact surface.

Thermally useful: far better than glass or polymer pads, though below copper.

Transparent option: enables visual inspection, premium positioning, and clean branding.

Single-Crystal Sapphire

Thermal stack architecture

GPU / ASIC die  →  TIM 1 (10–30 µm)  →  Sapphire block (0.5–1.5 mm)  →  TIM 2 (10–50 µm)  →  Copper cold plate

R = thickness / (k × area) + interface resistance
