  • Patent number: 7786056
    Abstract: A silicone grease composition comprising 3-30 wt % of an organopolysiloxane and 60-96.9 wt % of a heat conductive filler is diluted with a least volatile isoparaffin having a boiling point of 260-360° C. Despite a heavy loading of heat conductive filler, the grease composition is easily applicable to heat sinks as a thin uniform coating. The composition is drastically increased in shelf stability at room temperature, easy to handle, and provides for good heat dissipation.

    Abstract: A method of bonding a heat radiating sheet to the surface of a substrate such as a heat generating electronic component is provided. According to this method, a release sheet, which is coated on one surface with a transferable heat radiating material, is positioned on top of the substrate so that the surface coated with the heat radiating material contacts the substrate, and subsequently, a molding device with a contact surface of a required shape and surface area is positioned so that the contact surface contacts the rear surface of the release sheet positioned on the substrate, and pressure and/or heat is then applied and a heat radiating material layer of the required surface area and shape is transferred from the release sheet to the substrate surface. The heat radiating sheet can be bonded easily to the required section of the substrate surface, without requiring the use of an adhesive, and without requiring any prior processing of the heat radiating sheet.
