Thermal...we want it cool! Our Goal is providing High Quality Materials that give Extended Reliability to Applications both in Operation and in Service
Metal Thermal Interface Materials Forms Solder Paste Preforms Wire Types of Solder Indium Indium Containing Alloys Gold Tin, or Gold containing Lead Containing and Lead Free 10
General Review of Indium TIMs Solder TIMs means the TIM reflowed intermetallic is formed, stims SMA-TIMs, soft metal alloy, or compressible TIMs Flat Foil Compressible Surface Altered Foil, Heat-Spring Not Reflowed Phase Change TIMs applied as a solid and the heat-source changes the physical state of the TIM to a liquid metal. Liquid TIMs Liquid at room temp and in operation 11
Compressible Metal Thermal Materials SMA-TIM, soft metal alloy thermal interface material Pure Indium Preforms Indium Containing Alloy Preforms Pure Gold Pure Tin Pure Silver Indium with diffusion barrier TIMs for Burn-in 12 Heat-Spring or surface altered TIMs Heat spring pattern D (HSD) min 76micron after full compression Compensates up to 76micron nonplanarity
Compressible Metal Thermal Materials High thermal conductivity Low bulk resistance insensitive to BLT Heat spreading Metal to Metal Conformability Plastic deformation provides low contact resistance path, especially after time zero (burn-in period) Inherent gap filling for co-planarity issues: +/- 76um Complies with CTE mismatch Stability No bake-out or pump-out issues 13
Heat-Spring : What is it? Material Description Made from Indium or Indium Tin as standard alloys We alter the surface so contact resistance is reduced We use high conductive metal 86w/mk We custom package for your application We standard pack in Tape and Reel It s a green TIM 14
Temperature Profiles- Indium Foil Vs HSD Both 76um Th At 70-75psi a flat foil has about 33% contact. This contact is not consistent. When the Indium is altered with the HSD process We have distributed the 33% contact across the entire area Giving consistent contact and lower contact resistance. 15
