Applications
Burn-In Test
The most stringent application requirements for thermal interface materials (TIMs) are found in semiconductor testing. This environment presents challenges such as increased power, elevated heat flux, larger die sizes, and greater warpage that must be effectively managed. For semiconductor testing, compressible soft metal alloys like indium have become the industry standard. Specifically engineered for burn-in and testing processes, these recyclable materials support multiple insertions, improve process yields, and offer ease of use.
Overview
Improve Process Yields With Heat-Spring® HSK
Heat-Spring® HSK features a textured pattern on one side and an aluminum-clad barrier layer on the other, ensuring durability through numerous insertions. The thin aluminum layer facing the device under test (DUT) prevents the soft metal from adhering to the surface, effectively reducing the risk of stains and cracks.
Benefits
Enhance Gap-Filling and Thermal Performance on Uneven Surfaces
Sustainable TIM
Metal TIMs are easy to handle, 100% recyclable, and eligible for credit upon return. Multiple alloys are available depending on operating temperature requirements.
Flexible
Adaptable formats can bend up to 90° and wrap around various test head/socket lid configurations, including gimbaled test heads.
Performance
Surface pattern designs reduce contact resistance, delivering thermal performance comparable to solder at 50 psi. New options for even lower pressure are also available.
Multiple Insertions
The aluminum-clad layer on the DUT prevents staining and sticking, allowing it to be used for hundreds of cycles.
