Abstract

A multi-layer structure includes a substrate with a surface and with particles partially covering and partially embedded in the surface. The particles have high thermal conductivity and low electrical conductivity. A dielectric layer on the surface partially covers the partially embedded particles. A metal layer on the dielectric layer covering the partially covered particles forms a thermal interface material (TIM) for electronic packaging applications.
