Classification: H01L

Abstract:
A thermal interface for conducting heat, comprising:a visible light curable viscous layer of elastomeric material, said material including, by weight, an elastomeric base matrix between approximately 35 and 75 percent, a catalyst between about 0.5 to 15 percent, and a hydrocarbon solvent between about 10 to 30 percent, said elastomeric material having a first side and a second side, said first side of said layer of viscous elastomeric material being applied to a heat dissipating surface in an uncured state, said layer of elastomeric material being cured by exposing said layer of elastomeric material to visible wavelength light; and a thermally conductive filler material mixed throughout said elastomeric material; said thermal interface being compressible when placed into contact with a heat-generating device.
