 | | Hitachi Heat Sink |
Overview
Hitachi manufactures Optical Sub-Assemblies (silicon platforms with acid-etched v-grooves and upside pyramidal cavities used for passive alignment of bulk optics/fiber) and Heat Sinks.
The heat sink materials range in thermal conductivity from about 1W/mK (SiO2) up to 270 W/mK (SiC), hence the heat sinks are capable of dissipating heat according to the power consumption of a specific optical device. By selecting a suitable substrate material, it is possible to reduce thermal strain during device assembly. Various types of solder which allow for efficient die bonding are available.
Hitachi High Technologies America is Hitachi's sales and marketing representative for North America.
Advantages:
- Thin film patterned Titanium Platinum Gold metallization
- Thin film patterned Gold Tin Solder (or other solders per customer request)
- Various substrate materials to choose from
