PERFORMANCE ENHANCED HEAT SPREADER

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention include methods of disposing a metallic coating layer comprising a metal in an amorphous and/or fine grain microstructure over at least a portion of a surface of a pyrolytic graphite substrate, the metal comprising Nickel, Iron, a Nickel-Iron Alloy, or any combination thereof, and the grains of the metal being of 1 nm to 10000 nm in size. Embodiments of the invention also encompass the coated pyrolytic graphite articles. The coated substrate exhibits a thermal conductivity not less than the uncoated substrate.
