Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a multilayer thermal interface material which includes a first layer of metallic thermal interface material, a buffer layer and preferably a second layer of thermal interface material which may be metallic or nonmetallic. The multilayer thermal interface material is used in conjunction with a semiconductor device assembly of a chip carrier substrate, a heat spreader for attaching to the substrate, a semiconductor device mounted on the substrate and underneath the heat spreader and the multilayer thermal interface material interposed between the heat spreader and the semiconductor device. The heat spreader has a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), CTE1, the buffer layer has a second CTE, CTE2, and the semiconductor device has a third CTE, CTE3, wherein CTE1>CTE2>CTE3.
