Abstract
A heat sink can be attached to a heat-producing electronic device by aligning an adhesive material to a surface of the heat sink, applying the adhesive material to the surface to form an outer perimeter and applying, within the outer perimeter, a thermally conductive material to the surface. The surface of the heat sink and a surface of the heat-producing electronic device can then be aligned, and the heat sink can be assembled to the heat-producing electronic device by bringing the heat-producing electronic device surface into contact with the adhesive material. The heat sink can then be affixed to the heat-producing electronic device by applying a compressive force to the assembly to activate the adhesive material.
