Abstract
A thermal interface material includes a carbon nanotube array, a transition structure, and a matrix. The carbon nanotube array includes a plurality of carbon nanotubes. The transition structure covers at least a part of the surfaces of carbon nanotubes. The matrix encompasses the carbon nanotubes. A component package using the thermal interface material includes a die, a heat spreader, and a thermal interface material. The thermal interface material is disposed between the die and the heater spreader.
