Abstract:
1. A method of reducing a temperature difference between a high-temperature substrate of a first device and a low-temperature substrate of a second device, wherein the low-temperature substrate is at a lower temperature than the high-temperature substrate, the method comprising: interposing a solid-phase heat transfer facilitating layer which has a higher thermal conductivity than air and which is deformable to hold particles entrained therein between said high-temperature substrate and said low-temperature substrate; maintaining close contact between said high-temperature substrate and said heat transfer facilitating layer and between said low-temperature substrate and said heat transfer facilitating layer; and preventing formation of an air layer between said high-temperature substrate and said heat transfer facilitating layer, and between said low-temperature substrate and said heat transfer facilitating layer.
