The skiving fin process results in optimal thermal performance with high fin density and thin finned heat sink geometry. By packing as much fin surface area as possible into a given volume, a skived fin heat sink has greater heat transfer capability than other heat sinks with a single fin construction, such as extruded aluminum heat sinks. Compared to extruded aluminum, the manufacture of a skived fin does not need expensive tooling, providing greater design flexibility and faster prototyping. Instead, each fin is cut individually with the same tool, which reduces tooling costs.

· High aspect ratio

· Thin fin

· Low tooling cost

· Easy and inexpensive to prototype

· Ideal thermal connectivity with the heat sink base

· Unidirectional flow

· Single piece construction

Skived fin heat sinks are commonly found in the following applications:
