Abstract: A flexible plastic thermally conductive multilayer semiconductor mounting pad having a highly thermally conductive bulk layer with thermally conductive surface skin layers bonded integrally to opposed major surfaces thereof. The bulk layer and the surface skin layers are each filled with a finely divided thermally conductive particulate, with the skin layers being harder than the bulk layer and being blended with an amount of filler which is less than that present in the bulk layer.

Abstract: An interface material for use in forming a coating interposed along a heat dissipating path between a solid state electronic device and a heat sinking surface. The coating consists of a formulation of a thermally stable wax which is formed as a polyorganosiloxane graft polymer of octadecene and a methylsiloxane host blended with a thermally conductive viscosity stabilizer consisting of a thermally conductive particulate material such as alumina, boron nitride, among others. The graft polymer, with its molecular weight of between approximately 10,000 and 15,000 has a density of between about 0.8 and 0.9 with a melting point of between about 30 degrees C. and 90 degrees C.
