NovoLINCNovoLINC develops nanocomposite thermal interface materials designed to move heat away from high-power electronic chipsets and systems. Its materials achieve thermal resistance as low as 0.7 mm²K/W, remain reliable through thousands of extreme-temperature cycles, and can be tailored for different applications. The company emphasizes a scalable, IP-protected manufacturing platform for next-generation heat dissipation.PITTSBURGH, PA
Lux Semiconductors, IncLux Semiconductors develops and manufactures metal substrates and interposers for advanced system-in-package designs, using patented coaxial through-metal vias to improve thermal management, signal integrity, and resistance to warpage. Developed for next-generation defense electronics and now being scaled for commercial applications, its Smart Metal Substrate technology is manufactured in the United States. The company was founded by Shane McMahon and Graeme Housser, both Ph.D. engineers in nanoscale engineering.ALBANY, NY
Rico Products IncRico Products was founded in 1982 by Scott Rico and his father, two technologists who built the company around solving difficult manufacturing problems. The Chagrin Falls manufacturer now applies that problem-solving background to thermal-management materials, helping electronics makers turn specialized polymers into production-ready parts from its 30,000-square-foot, ISO 9001-certified facility.CHAGRIN FALLS, OH
CoolCAD ElectronicsFounded in 2008 by University of Maryland researchers, CoolCAD Electronics is a university spinoff known for carrying silicon-carbide research into working semiconductor technology. The Greenbelt company began fabricating its own SiC chips in 2010 and has since earned multiple patents, published more than 100 papers as a team, and received NASA and DARPA development awards. Its work serves organizations that need electronics to function in extreme heat or harsh environments.COLLEGE PARK, MD
