Abstract
Abstract A neutral, dielectric, strong desiccant, free of material which might change the semiconductor junction doping, is added to a silicone grease. The grease is used to surround semiconductor junctions as a heat transfer media. The presence of the desiccant in the grease reduces the noise background which is generated in semiconductors in the presence of small amounts of water.
