Abstract:
Single-layer CNT composites and multilayered or multitiered structures formed therefrom, by stacking of vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays, and methods of making and using thereof are described herein. Such multilayered or multitiered structures can be used as thermal interface materials (TIMs) for a variety of applications, such as burn-in testing.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for making contact to a device under test with a thermally conductive and/or electrically conductive, mechanically compliant substrate having an adhesive surface, the method comprising the steps of:\n attaching the substrate directly to a thermal or electrical unit head to cover the area of the head completely or matching the size of the device under test; engaging the thermal or electrical unit head with the attached substrate to the device under test with a pressure of at least 10 psi and engagement temperature less than 150\u00b0 C.; holding the engagement under the pressure of at least 10 psi for at least 5 minutes or cycling the engagement at least one to five times, wherein during each engagement the device under test is powering up and heating the thermal or electrical unit head to simulate the device powering up to reach a temperature of at least 50\u00b0 C.; disengaging and re-engaging the thermal or electrical head and substrate with the device under test for at least 1,500 cycles of powering up; and testing the device under test to determine the thermal resistance and/or relative thermal resistance following cycling.
