Thermal interface materials: Technologies and markets

Overheating is the most critical issue in the computer industry. It limits further miniaturisation, power, performance and reliability. The escalation of power densities in electronic devices has made efficient heat removal a crucial issue for progress in information, communication, energy harvesting, energy storage and lighting technologies. Faster computers, greener lighting, electrification of transport, and better connectivity are all pushing thermal interface materials to their limit. IDTechEx Research has assessed the needs, progress and opportunities in the report "Thermal Interface Materials 2015-2025". For more information see http://www.IDTechEx.com/tim.
