TWO-STATE THERMAL INTERFACE MATERIAL HAVING POLYGONAL SHAPE AND ATTACHED TO SURFACE OF HEAT SINK, AND METHOD FOR FORMING AND ATTACHING THERMAL INTERFACE MATERIAL

摘要

PURPOSE: A two-state thermal interface material, and a method for forming and attaching a thermal interface material are provided to effectively attach the thermal interface material to a surface of a heat sink without using a double-sided tape. CONSTITUTION: A two-state thermal interface material(700) is characterized in that the material has a polygonal shape. The material has an octagonal shape, or a square shape with cut four edges(710). A method for attaching a two-state thermal interface material to a heat sink is characterized in that a film adhesion tape is bonded to one surface of the material, and the material is attached to the heat sink such that the surface with the film adhesion tape is directed toward a heating portion of a CPU.
