A method for making a thermal interface material includes following steps. A substrate having a plurality of CNT arrays arranged thereon and a number of first interspaces defined between the CNT arrays is provided. A container is provided and the substrate with the CNT arrays is disposed into the container. A number of low melting point metallic nanoparticles is provided and filled in the first interspaces. The low melting point metallic nanoparticles in the container is heated into a liquid state, and the low melting point metal nanoparticles in liquid state is combined with the CNT arrays to form a composite material on the substrate. The composite material is peeled off from the substrate, and a thermal interface material is obtained.

Thermal interface material having a patterned carbon nanotube array and method for making the same

An electronic assembly includes a heat source having a maximum operating temperature, a heat dissipating device, a thermal interface material sandwiched between the heat source and the heat dissipating device. The thermal interface material includes a base and a plurality of first thermally conductive particles dispersed in the base. The first thermally conductive particles have a size monotonically changing from a first size less than 100 nanometers and a first melting temperature below the maximum operating temperature, to a second size larger than 100 nanometers and a second melting temperature above the maximum operating temperature when the heat source operates at a temperature above the first melting temperature and at or below the maximum operating temperature.
