The copper heat sinks did work very well, but were very expensive.

On Semiconductor has done some custom stuff for us in the past -- they might be willing to listen.
There are ways to solve this, fet's case cannot support such load. Expensive way - hybrid heatsinks, all the way up to built-in heatpipes. Second one - pcb support for heatsink, you can solder heatsink to the board.

Well, now that is when we switch to PM.

By the way, I am pretty sure, you've seen that :)
