    Abstract: A multi-layered thermal interface material (TIM) suitable for integrated circuit (IC) die package assemblies. The multi-layered TIM may include at least a substrate material and an adhesion material. The substrate material may have high compressibility (low bulk modulus) and high thermal conductivity, such as a carbon-based material. The adhesion layer may be of a material suitable for sintering to a metallic package component, such as a heat spreader. The adhesion layer, once bonded to the package component, may reduce thermal resistance between an IC die and other portions of the package assembly. The adhesion material may be sintered with a heat spreader, for example. A low temperature bonding process may be employed to limit thermal exposure of an IC die. The adhesion material may comprise nanoparticles of elemental metal or metal alloy, which may be sprayed or printed onto a substrate material.
