Abstract
The invention relates to a metal matrix composite used to support and/or enclose discrete electronic semiconductor devices, monolithic integrated circuits, hybrid circuits, and multi-layer printed wiring boards. The matrices herein disclosed employ aluminum as the matrix with Beta Eucryptite as the additive in a volume percent of up to 60. The preferred range of from 55 to 45 percent by volume of the additive has a coefficient of thermal expansion matching the common semiconductor materials and common ceramics used for electronic enclosures. The composite uses low cost materials, and due to the affinity of the additive to aluminum is easily prepared. The resulting structures have good thermal conductivity and low weight.
