METAL THERMAL INTERFACE MATERIAL AND THERMAL MODULE AND PACKAGED MICROELECTRONIC COMPONENT CONTAINING THE MATERIAL

摘要

The invention provides a metal thermal interface material (TIM) with through-holes in its body and/or zigzags or wave shapes on its border, which is suitable for use at thermal interfaces of a thermal conduction path from an integrated circuit die to its associated heat sink in a packaged microelectronic component. The invention also includes a thermal module and a packaged microelectronic component including the metal thermal interface material.
