Abstract:This paper describes a novel co-electrodeposition process to form thin bonding structures based on solder-graphite and solder-diamond nanocomposites for thermal interface materials (TIM). Using this novel processing route, inorganic nanoparticles can be co-plated along with a solder matrix to form unique nanocomposite structures with much enhanced thermal conductivity, engineered thermomechanical properties such as coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), strength and fatigue resistance, while enabling the bene… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
