  • Abstract
    Power consumption of CPU was getting higher, and die size is larger during this decade. This trend affected what thermal interface material (TIM) should be chosen. For instance higher thermally conductive TIM grease was placed into CPU package in mid dasia90s. But this was not perfect solution. Because of pumping out issue happened with big packaging warpage with thermal cycle. Against this issue Cross-linking technology works very well. Especially low modulus (Gel phase) material shows the best performance for both thermal performance and reliability.
