Abstract
A process of making a reworkable thermal interface material is described. The reworkable thermal interface material is bonded to a die and a heat sink. The reworkable thermal interface material includes a phase-change polymer matrix material. Other materials in the reworkable thermal interface material can include heat transfer particles and low melting-point metal particles. The phase-change polymer matrix material includes a melting temperature below a selected temperature and the heat transfer particles have a melting temperature substantially above the selected temperature. The heat transfer particles act as a spacer limit, which holds the thermal interface material to a given bond-line thickness during use.
