Heat-dissipating device with interfacial enhancements

Abstract:

An example heat-dissipating device with enhanced interfacial properties generally includes a first heat spreader configured to be thermally coupled to a region configured to generate heat, a second heat spreader, an interposer thermally coupled to at least one of the first heat spreader or the second heat spreader, at least one interfacial layer including a graphene material disposed on at least one surface of the interposer, and a phase change material disposed between the at least one interfacial layer and at least one of the first heat spreader or the second heat spreader and thermally coupled to at least one of the first heat spreader or the second heat spreader.
