The Microsystems Packaging Research Center at the Georgia Institute of Technology (PRC-GT) proposes to create an Industry-Academia collaborative consortium to address the R&D of next generation Thermal Interface Materials (TIM) with thermal resistance below 0.005 °C-cm 2/W), including materials, processes, structures and reliability characterization.

While considerable improvements in TIM performance have been achieved in the past five years with the development of gels and phase change metallic alloys, further enhancements may require a systematic approach toward material selection/development, interface characterization, assembly and reliability assessment.

The Georgia Tech PRC is a global academic leader working on several innovative “total system” approaches that include IC-package electrical, mechanical, and thermal co-design methodologies, thermal management and characterization techniques, new and advanced chip-to-substrate interconnects, embedded passives and actives, new substrate materials and interfaces, advanced assembly processes, and reliability assessment techniques.
