  • Abstract
    Compared to conventional metal heat sinks, CNT-based microfins have exceptional advantage to drag heat out from electronic components due to the unique thermal and mechanical properties of the material. This paper will review the state of CNTs applied as cooling fins in microelectronic systems. The latest progresses will be presented.
