Abstract
This invention pertains to a method for removing heat from a heat source device and to a heat sink system characterized by a pressure bond having thermal resistance of less than about 5 K/kW-cm . The method is characterized by the steps of removing heat from a heat source device comprising the steps of placing a heat source device in contact with a heat source and applying a sufficient force to form a pressure bond between the heat source device and the heat sink wherein thermal resistance at the interface between the heat source device and the heat sink after the thermal bond is established is less than about 5 K/kW-cm . The heat sink system includes a heat source device and a heat sink in contact with the heat source device with thermal resistance at the interface of the heat source device and said heat sink is less than about 5 K/kW-cm .
