Thermal Challenges Facing AI Computing

In the Era of High Heat Density, Thermal Management Is Critical to AI Performance

As AI GPUs, liquid-cooled servers, and high-performance computing platforms advance rapidly, chip power consumption and heat density continue to rise. Thermal materials must not only improve cooling efficiency but also support ultra-thin designs, long-term reliability, and manufacturing yield to meet the demands of next-generation AI infrastructure.

Thermal Management for High-Speed AI Optical Modules

From Silicon Photonics to CPO: Thermal Performance and Optical Cleanliness

As 800G and 1.6T optical transceivers and co-packaged optics (CPO) advance, the integration of DSPs, lasers and silicon photonic engines creates higher heat density. LiPOLY provides high-conductivity, low-stress and non-silicone thermal materials that transfer heat to the module housing or cooling structure while reducing the risk of optical contamination from volatile siloxanes.

Thermal Management, Signal Stability and Optical Cleanliness

高密度散熱

High-Density Cooling

Transfers heat from the DSP, lasers and silicon photonic engine to the module housing.

穩定光訊號

Stable Optical Signals

Reduces the effects of temperature changes on laser wavelength and optical transmission.

降低光學污染

Reduced Optical Contamination

Non-silicone materials reduce the risk of siloxane condensation on optical surfaces.

Why Consider Non-Silicone Materials for AI Optical Modules?

Optical modules contain enclosed spaces located close to fiber end faces, lenses and laser windows. When heated, some silicone materials may release low-molecular-weight siloxanes that condense on cooler optical surfaces, reducing light transmission, increasing insertion loss and degrading signal quality.
