Abstract
Methods are disclosed to process a thermal interface material to achieve easy pick and placement of the thermal interface material without lowering thermal performance of a completed semiconductor package. One method involves applying a non-adhesive layer on one or more surfaces of the thermal interface material, interfacing the thermal interface material with one or more components to interface the non-adhesive layer therebetween, and applying heat to alter the non-adhesive layer to increase thermal contact between the thermal interface material and the interfacing component(s).
