Abstract
Disclosed herein is a nanostructured composite thermal interface and a method for fabricating the interface. The interface consists of a metal foil having arrays of metal nanowires disposed on either side thereof. An adhesive polymer is interspersed within the nanowires in each array and serves as a binder to adhere the interface to the surfaces of target objects, for example, a CPU and a heat sink.
Claims22
A nanostructured interface comprising:
- a conductive film or foils;
- and
- arrays of conductive nanowires disposed on both sides of the conductive film or foil.
A method comprising:
- providing a conductive foil;
- attaching templates to opposing sides of the metal foil, the templates each defining a plurality of holes therein;
- growing thermally conductive nanowires through the holes of the templates to create nanowire arrays on opposing sides of the foil;
- and
- dissolving the templates.
