Insulated and bare tabs of power devices

BeO, or diamond, or better yet isotopically pure diamond.

AlN isn't bad, close to common aluminum alloys.

There are some forms of graphite are better than natural diamond, but
aren't electrical insulators.

I find it more fun to actually get the numbers.

Several materials here:

Diamond?

Oops. But mica sure isn't a top thermal conductor (it is a glass).

Like diamond?

Ralph beat you to it. Kind of costly though. All compared, look to AlN.
