(FGM FGM abbr. female genital mutilation ) flanges for microelectronic and optoelectronic packaging. Copper tungsten FGM substrates are used in optoelectronics as mounts or submounts for laser diodes, sensors, and detectors, and in microelectronics power packages for RF microwave, and millimeter-wave applications. Typical end user applications include cellular phone transmitting stations and pump laser diode based light amplifiers for fiber-optics networks. FGM copper/tungsten metal matrix composite Metal matrix composite A material in which a continuous metallic phase (the matrix) is combined with another phase (the reinforcement) that constitutes a few percent to around 50% of the material's total volume. flanges are high performance heat sinks with an effective thermal conductivity (TC) of 320 W/mK (watts per meter Kelvin). The newly patented process represents a revolutionary breakthrough since previous TC was only 200 W/mK.
