Overcoming Challenges in Thermal Conductivity Measurement, from Soft TIMs to CVD Diamond
The thermal properties driving this may not match the assumptions, supplier data, or simulations you’ve been working from. And the tools available to you weren’t built to close that gap. Not at this length scale. Not in this architecture. Not close enough to the actual application to trust the result.
Not to replace the tools that work. To do the measurements no other tool was designed for:
You’re not only looking for a characterization tool.
You’re looking for the materials thermal intelligence to see what’s actually governing the thermal behavior of your material or device.
Whether you recognize your technology or the thermal challenge you’re facing, start where it feels most familiar. We’ll guide you to the relevant expertise, measurement capabilities, and solutions.
Recognize your technology. Find the materials, devices, and architectures where Laser Thermal helps engineers answer difficult thermal characterization questions.

Accelerate your R&D and gain a competitive edge with our full-service thermal characterization testing laboratory. From advanced materials and thin films to solids and liquids, we provide rapid testing, use non-destructive methods and deliver precise measurements.
Our expert team and state-of-the-art instruments offer testing solutions, whether on a project basis or through bundled support packages.
Today’s performance limits increasingly live in architectures, where films are thinner, conductivities are higher, interfaces are buried, and heat flows differently by direction. Laser Thermal measures heat transport where it actually happens, at the right length scale and on the real sample. And it delivers results at the speed your progress demands.
Automated workflows remove the operator-dependent variables that make thermal data hard to defend, and measurement techniques designed for difficult materials capture what conventional approaches can miss. Engineering teams get results they can trust, and leadership gets the confidence to move projects forward.
Automation makes thermal characterization a routine step rather than a queue. Answers arrive while design choices are still open, reducing the time spent investigating unexpected performance or redesigning around incorrect assumptions.
When you can see what actually governs thermal performance, you can optimize the materials and processes others are still approximating, reduce technical risk, and bring differentiated products to market.
The logos below are only those we’re able to share publicly. Our broader customer base includes many of the leading semiconductor labs, national research laboratories, and power electronics manufacturers driving the industry forward.
