A heat spreader is presented which can provide effective thermal management in a cost effective manner. The heat spreader includes a plurality of diamond particles arranged in a single layer surrounded by a metallic mass. The metallic mass cements the diamond particles together. The layer of diamond particles is a single particle thick. Besides the single layer of diamond particles, the metallic mass has substantially no other diamond particles therein. A thermal management system including a heat source and a heat spreader is also presented, along with methods for making and methods for use of such heat spreaders.

What is claimed is: 1. A heat spreader comprising: a metallic mass surrounding a plurality of diamond particles arranged in a single layer with a single particle thickness, said metallic mass cementing said diamond particles together and having substantially no other diamond particles therein, wherein each diamond particle is substantially in direct physical contact with another diamond particle and a fraction of the diamond particles are substantially exposed on a surface of the heat spreader. 2. The heat spreader of claim 1, wherein the metallic mass is a single metallic material. 3. The heat spreader of claim 1, wherein the metallic mass comprises more than one metallic material. 4. The heat spreader of claim 3, wherein the metallic mass includes multiple layers of different metallic materials. 5. The heat spreader of claim 1, wherein the metallic mass includes a metal alloy. 6. The heat spreader of claim 1, wherein the metallic mass includes a member selected from the group consisting of aluminum, silicon, copper, gold, silver, and alloys thereof. 7. The heat spreader of claim 6, wherein the metallic mass includes aluminum. 8. The heat spreader of claim 7, wherein the metallic mass includes aluminum-magnesium alloy. 9. The heat spreader of claim 7, wherein at least a portion of the aluminum is anodized. 10. The heat spreader of claim 6, wherein the metallic mass includes silicon. 11. The heat spreader of claim 6, wherein the metallic mass consists essentially of aluminum or silicon. 12. The heat spreader of claim 6, wherein the metallic mass includes a mixture or an alloy of aluminum and silicon. 13. The heat spreader of claim 1, wherein the diamond particles are high grade. 14. The heat spreader of claim 1, wherein the diamond particles are substantially uniform in size or shape. 15. The heat spreader of claim 1, wherein the mesh size of the diamond particles ranges from about 20 to about 70. 16. The heat spreader of claim 15, wherein the mesh size of the diamond particles ranges from about 30 to about 50. 17. The heat spreader of claim 1, wherein the single layer of diamond particles is closer to one side of the metallic mass than an opposite side. 18. The heat spreader of claim 1, wherein the packing efficiency of the single layer of diamond particles is greater than about 50%. 19. The heat spreader of claim 18, wherein the packing efficiency of the single layer of diamond particles is greater than about 80%. 20. The heat spreader of claim 1, wherein the thickness of the heat spreader is from about 1.1 to about 3 times the single particle thickness. 21. The heat spreader of claim 1, wherein the single layer of diamond particles is infiltrated with the metallic material. 22. The heat spreader of claim 21, wherein the infiltration occurs at a temperature of less than about 800° C. 23. The heat spreader of claim 21, wherein the infiltration occurs under vacuum conditions. 24. The heat spreader of claim 23, wherein the infiltration occurs at pressures less than 100 atm. 25. The heat spreader of claim 1, further comprising a layer of polycrystalline diamond attached to a surface of the heat spreader. 26. The heat spreader of claim 25, wherein the layer of polycrystalline diamond is attached to the diamond particles exposed on the surface of the heat spreader. 27. A thermal management system, comprising: a heat source; and a heat spreader as recited in claim 1, in contact with the heat source, said heat spreader having a first side with a lower thermal expansion and a higher thermal conductivity than a second, oppositely located, side of the heat spreader, said first side of the heat spreader being closer to the heat source than said second side, said heat spreader including a plurality of cemented diamond particles arranged in a single layer with a single particle thickness, with the heat spreader having substantially no other diamond particles therein. 28. The system of claim 27, wherein the heat spreader is brazed to the heat source. 29. The system of claim 27, wherein the single layer of diamond particles is attached directly to the heat source. 30. The system of claim 27, wherein the heat source is a CPU. 31. The system of claim 27, wherein the heat spreader includes a metallic material selected from the group consisting of aluminum, silicon, copper, gold, silver, and alloys thereof. 32. The system of claim 31, wherein the metallic mass includes aluminum. 33. The system of claim 32, wherein the metallic mass consists essentially of aluminum or silicon. 34. The system of claim 32, wherein the metallic mass includes an alloy of aluminum and magnesium. 35. The system of claim 31, wherein the metallic mass includes silicon. 36. The system of claim 31, wherein the metallic mass includes a mixture or an alloy of aluminum and silicon.
