Abstract
In an example, a thermal interface material (TIM) structure is disclosed. The TIM structure includes a first thermal interface material layer comprising a gap filler material and a second thermal interface material layer comprising a solid thermal pad. The TIM structure has one or more overlapping regions associated with partial overlap of a surface of the gap filler material by the solid thermal pad such that a portion of the surface is exposed.
