Thermal management of electronic devices by composite materials integrated in silicon ?
A novel concept of thermal management based on CNT and PCM is proposed. Simulations show the benefits of the nanocomposite structure for thermal management. A basic process flow is proposed to build the thermal interposer. Critical process steps are detailed: PCM selection, CNT growth, interface improvement. Thermal tests show the improvement of Si/CNT interface with a specific assembly process.
