OPTIMUM THICKNESS OF CIRCULAR ANISOTROPIC HEAT SPREADERS

Heat spreaders of diff erent designs made of diff erent materials were investigated. Numerous relations for estimating
the optimum thickness and the corresponding thermal resistance of these spreaders with an acceptable accuracy
have been obtained. The superiority of certain heat spreaders was demonstrated.
