ABSTRACT:
The thermal interface structure of the present invention is suited for use in a non-referenced die system between a heat source and heat sink spaced up to 300 mils apart and comprises a plurality of layers including a core body of high conductivity metal or metal alloy having opposite sides, a soft thermal interface layer disposed on one side of the core body for mounting against the heat sink and a thin layer of a phase change material disposed on the opposite side of the core body for mounting against the heat source wherein the surface area dimension (footprint) of the core body is substantially larger than the surface area of the heat source upon which the phase change material is mounted to minimize the thermal resistance between the heat source and the heat sink and wherein said soft thermal interface layer is of a thickness sufficient to accommodate a variable spacing between the heat source and the heat sink of up to 300 mils.
