With the increasing power density of electrical and electronic devices, there has been an urgent demand for the development of thermal interface materials (TIMs) with high through-plane thermal conductivity for handling the issue of thermal management. Graphene exhibited significant potential for the development of TIMs, due to its ultra-high intrinsic thermal conductivity. In this perspective, we introduce three state-of-the-art graphene-based TIMs, including dispersed graphene/polymers, graphene framework/polymers and inorganic graphene-based monoliths. The advantages and limitations of them were discussed from an application point of view. In addition, possible strategies and future research directions in the development of high-performance graphene-based TIMs are also discussed.

Abstract Under the action of electro-thermal-mechanical coupling, the failure and performance degradation of electronic devices are prone to occur, which has become a particularly important reliability problem in microelectronic packaging. The improvement of flip chip reliability by using thermal interface materials was studied. First, a three-dimensional finite element model of the flip-chip packaging system, and finite element simulation of electric-thermal-force multi-field coupling were conducted, and the Joule heating, temperature distribution, thermal stress and deformation of the flip-chip under high current density was analyzed. At the same time, the influence of thermal interface material thermal conductivity and operating current on flip chip reliability was studied. Then, the reliability experiment of the flip chip connected to the radiator under high current density was performed, and the temperature change in the flip chip under different thermal interface materials was obtained. Finally, through the combination of experiment and simulation, the influence of thermal interface materials on flip chip reliability was analyzed. It is further confirmed that the reliability and service life of electronic devices were effectively improved by using the high thermal conductivity BNNS/epoxy composite material prepared in this paper.

AbstractHeat dissipation in electronics packaging can be highly dependent on Thermal Interface Materials (TIM). TIM contact, compliance, and conductivity can be the dominant limiting factors in the overall conduction heat transfer across the interface. Mixing multiwall Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs), which have high thermal conductivity, with other thermally conducting materials holds great promise as TIM fillers and has been shown to have higher thermal performance than commercial TIM ‘1’. Such mixtures possess greater thermal conductivity as a result of increased thermal conduction paths through highly conductive, high aspect ratio CNTs.In this work, we develop and test an advanced apparatus based on the ASTM D5470-06 standard to measure thermal interface resistance. Our experimental findings quantify the thermal performance trends of industry-standard TIM Arctic Silver® 5 along with hybrid TIM mixtures of Arctic Silver®5 and varying weight ratios of CNTs. Early experimental findings show that Arctic Silver®5 mixed with 0.5 to 1% multiwall CNT by weight may improve thermal conductivity over pure Arctic Silver®5.The goal of this research is to investigate the viability of integrating CNTs with commercial products as improved TIM for electronic cooling in chip packages.

At present, the existing thermal interface materials (TIMs) cannot meet the heat dissipation requirements of some high-power density electronic devices. In this study, Bi-based low melting point alloy was made into a thermal conductive sheet to reduce the interface thermal resistance. The thermal conductivity of a thermal conductive sheet was found to be 37.83 W/(m·K), 10 times higher than Dow Corning 5021 thermal grease. In addition, the surface morphology of the Bi-based alloy thermal conductive sheet was changed in this experiment, which was divided into textured and planer type, and the measured interface thermal resistance values lower than Dow Corning 5021 thermal grease by approximately 30% and 27%, respectively. The results prove this Bi-based alloy thermal conductive sheets have the ideal heat dissipation performance and their wide application prospects in high-power density electronic devices.
