Abstract

A microelectronic device structure includes a diamond-containing substrate, and a metallic interlayer affixed to the diamond. The interlayer is made of a metal such as copper, silver, or gold, has a thickness of from about 0.003 inch to about 0.009 inch, and has an upper surface. A microelectronic device die is affixed to the upper surface of the metallic interlayer. The material of construction and thickness of the metallic interlayer are selected such that a coefficient of thermal expansion at the upper surface of the metallic interlayer is greater than a coefficient of thermal expansion of the die of the microelectronic device by up to about 3 parts per million per degree Centigrade.
