            Abstract : 
Monolayer graphene was fabricated using thermal CVD for the application of heat spreader in electronic packaging. Platinum (Pt) micro-heater embedded thermal testing chips were utilized to evaluate the thermal performance of the graphene heat spreader. The hot spot temperature was decreased by about 5 °C at a heat flux of up to 800W/cm2. It is possible to further improve the thermal performance of graphene heat spreader by optimizing the synthesis parameters and transfer process.
