Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a thermal interface material. In one embodiment, carbon nanotubes are combined with an alignment material. The alignment material is aligned, which causes the carbon nanotubes to become aligned and efficiently conduct heat.

Abstract: A method of making an electronics substrate is provided. A material is deposited on a base component. The material has a first composition and includes a polymer. A pattern is imprinted into the material by contacting the material with a die and moving a profile of the die into the material. The material is then modified while being held in the profile of the die to cause at least partial curing of the material due to a change in composition of the material from a first composition to a second composition. The die is then removed from the material. Electric conductors are then formed in trenches of the pattern.
