Abstract Very challenging requirements exist for thermal interface materials (TIMs) for demanding applications I semiconductor testing. Reliability requirements and multiple contact cycling requirements are substantially different and do not exist in traditional applications for TIMs. Developing new material types to meet these very exacting and unusual requirements has been a long-term goal and requires development of an unusual series of test procedures to demonstrate whether the desired reliability goals have been met. Use of a servo-driven, commercial test stand that has unique features for operation and control is described as the basis for a reliability and performance test program developed for these new materials in three phases, with new data for a fourth test phase added, and comparative values for material performance.

The ever increasing demand for fast computing has led to heterogeneous integration of packages as can be seen in the latest Xeon family segments in the market. Microprocessors are now adjacent to memory chips, transceivers, field-programmable gate arrays, and even other microprocessors within a single substrate. These complex designs have instigated an increase in cooling demand for microprocessors, and hence, there has been an increased focus within the semiconductor industry on developing advance thermal solutions. From the packaging level, thermal interface materials (TIMs) play a key role in thermally connecting various components within the package and helps reduce the thermal resistance between the die surfaces and integrated heat spreaders. From the system level, cooling technology is critical to attain the desired overall thermal dissipation and performance. In this review, progress made in the area of TIMs and system cooling solutions are presented. The focus is on the evolution of TIMs and cooling technologies and their challenges in the integrated circuit packaging. Merits and demerits of various TIM materials available in the commercial market are also discussed. The article will be concluded with some directions for the future that would be potentially very beneficial.

This perspective article describes the application opportunities of carbon nanotube (CNT) films for the energy sector. Up to date progress in this regard is illustrated with representative examples of a wide range of energy management and transformation studies employing CNT ensembles. Firstly, this paper features an overview of how such macroscopic networks from nanocarbon can be produced. Then, the capabilities for their application in specific energy-related scenarios are described. Among the highlighted cases are conductive coatings, charge storage devices, thermal interface materials, and actuators. The selected examples demonstrate how electrical, thermal, radiant, and mechanical energy can be converted from one form to another using such formulations based on CNTs. The article is concluded with a future outlook, which anticipates the next steps which the research community will take to bring these concepts closer to implementation.
