  • Comparison of Test Methods for High Performance Thermal Interface Materials

    by Bob Jarrett, C.K. Merritt, Jordan Ross, Jim Hisert

    This paper relates the application of two of the methods for testing the thermal interface materials to the development and characterization of high performance materials. Particular strengths of different test methods provide a more complete understanding of TIM performance. In combination the tools provide effective development and improvement metrics. The limitations in resolution and repeatability are discussed.
