Thermal management is one of the critical aspects in the design of highly integrated microelectronic devices. The reliability of electronic components is limited not only to operating temperature but also by the thermal stresses caused during the operation. The need for higher power densities calls for use of advanced heat spreader materials. A copper diamond composite has been developed with high thermal conductivity (λ) and tailorable coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). Copper diamond composites are processed via gas pressure assisted infiltration with different copper alloys. Emphasis has been placed on the addition of trace elements in deisgning the copper alloys to facilitate a compromise between thermal conductivity and mechanical adhesion. The interfaces between the alloy and the diamond are related to the thermal properties of these copper composites.

Purpose: This research investigates the impact of technology adoption on organisation productivity. The framework has three independent variables viz. technological change, information technology (IT) infrastructure, and IT knowledge management and one dependent variable as organisational productivity. Research design, data and methodology: An explanatory research design with a quantitative research method was employed, and data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire using online as well as an offline survey. The sample consisted of 300 IT managers and senior-level executives (production as well as service team) in leading IT companies in Malaysia selected using snowball sampling. Normality and reliability assessment was performed in the first stage utilising SPSS 22, and Confirmatory Factory Analysis (CFA) was performed with maximum likelihood estimation to assess the internal consistency, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. Finally, Structural Equation Model (SEM) and path analysis are conducted using AMOS 22. Results: The research findings demonstrated that technological change and IT infrastructure positively and significantly impact the organisation's productivity while IT knowledge management has significant but negative impact on organizational productivity of IT companies in Malaysia. Conclusion: The research concludes that all three factors plays important role in deciding organizational producvity. Recommendations, implications, limitations and future research avenues are discussed.
