These materials do not have significant natural adhesion, and devices must be screwed down to facilitate the lowest thermal resistance of the system. Solder is another material that can achieve low resistance values; however there is one significant drawback to the use of solders. They don't bond well to Aluminum, a common heatsink material, without significant preparation. Phase Change Materials (PCM) and Thermal interface tapes are both very prominent in designs. PCMs must be compressed to function properly. PCMs may be compressed between the LED array and the heatsink using mounting screws. PCMs are waxy materials that change from high to low viscosity after reaching a particular design temperature. These materials then flow easily, thereby filling gaps in the same way greases do. PCMs can achieve thermal resistance values close to 1C/W just by applying sufficient pressure to the light source to complete the bond. Performance values approaching those of Greases can be achieved by screwing the device down to the heatsink. PCMs are very popular as they are not messy like grease, can be pre-applied
NovaBrite Products Application Note to heatsinks, and do not pump-out over thermal cycling like greases. While they do not exhibit the very low resistance values of grease, they do provide an excellent and easy method of thermal management. The final category of materials commonly in use, are conductive epoxies and thermal pads. These often will have thermal resistance values greater than 1C/W, which, depending on your application and power level, can have significant effects on the heatsink design and selection. The following table shows a comparison of the different thermal interface materials.
