The higher the density of currents flowing through a material is, the hotter the material gets. In order to prevent overheating, semiconductor components are provided with heat sinks. These may be solid or fitted with cooling fins and may reach millimetre thicknesses even on small components. In any case copper is the ideal material for this application due to its high thermal conductivity:
