  • Electronic circuit having a flexible intermediate layer between electronic components and a heat sink
    Patent number: 6377460
    Abstract: An electronic circuit module has at least one electronic component and a heat sink, which is thermally connected to the at least one electronic component. A thermal conduction path between the at least one electronic component and the heat sink is formed by an intermediate layer, which adjoins a surface of the heat sink. The intermediate layer is formed by an island-like structure including pillars of a flexible, thermally conductive material.
