Description
The goal of this report is to provide an up-to-date analysis of recent developments and current trends in the global thermal interface materials (TIM) market. Includes forecasts through 2016.
Introduction
Thermal interface materials (TIM) are products that stand between a heat sink and the device to be cooled. They are associated with the board level heat sink as often as they are associated with the package level heat sink. Their function is to improve the thermal transfer in the joint between the heat sink and the device to be cooled by increasing or securing the area of contact between the two surfaces.
In the thermal management of microelectronics, the interface material layer between a chip and heat spreader presents the single largest barrier to heat flow in the packaging of high-power dissipation devices. The selection of a suitable material to fill the interface between a chip and a heat spreader is critical to the performance and reliability of the semiconductor device. For this reason, there has been continuous effort to develop new thermal interface technologies.
Interface materials vary with respect to thermal conductivity, thickness, and other characteristics, and are selected or tailored by the requirements of a specific application.
Major types of thermal interface material are:
• Thermal greases
• Thermal compounds
• Thermal pads
• Adhesive films and tapes
• Epoxies
• Phase-change materials
• Other materials.
World Thermal Management Market by end use includes following major segments:
• Computers
• Telecoms
• Medical/office equipment
