When markets demand smaller, faster, less expensive electronic devices and
assemblies, you respond. But smaller components, tighter lead spacing and
increased operating frequencies result in higher temperatures that can reduce
performance and reliability. Heat is the enemy of performance.
An emerging generation of Thermal Greases offer advantages in managing
thermal issues in advanced chips. A reprint of the cover story in the July
issue of Advanced Packaging is now available for viewing or download here
