Abstract
Abstract Thermally conductive particles (14) for use in a polymeric resin are provided. The particles (10) are aluminum nitride coated with copper (12). The thermally conductive particles (14) are incorporated into a polymer (38) in order to provide, for example, a thermally conductive adhesive (36). The thermally conductive adhesive is used to bond an electronic component (32) to a circuit carrying substrate (34) in order to dissipate heat from the electronic component.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
44 words
A thermally conducting adhesive, comprising: an adhesive material having aluminum nitride particles dispersed within the adhesive material, the aluminum nitride particles having a copper coating, whereby the coated aluminum nitride particles impart higher thermal conductivity to the adhesive material than uncoated aluminum nitride particles.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
44 words
A thermally conducting adhesive, comprising: an adhesive material having aluminum nitride particles dispersed within the adhesive material, the aluminum nitride particles having a copper coating, whereby the coated aluminum nitride particles impart higher thermal conductivity to the adhesive material than uncoated aluminum nitride particles.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
56 words
A thermally conducting adhesive, comprising a mixture of: an adhesive material selected from the group consisting of epoxy, acrylic, phenolic and silicone adhesives; and copper coated aluminum nitride particles dispersed throughout the adhesive material, such that the thermally conducting adhesive conducts heat more rapidly than a mixture having uncoated aluminum nitride particles dispersed throughout the adhesive.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
56 words
A thermally conducting adhesive, comprising a mixture of: an adhesive material selected from the group consisting of epoxy, acrylic, phenolic and silicone adhesives; and copper coated aluminum nitride particles dispersed throughout the adhesive material, such that the thermally conducting adhesive conducts heat more rapidly than a mixture having uncoated aluminum nitride particles dispersed throughout the adhesive.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The thermally conductive adhesive as described in claim 1, wherein the aluminum nitride particles are substantially spherical.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
55 words
A thermally conductive die attach adhesive for use in coupling a semiconductor device to a substrate, comprising copper coated aluminum nitride spheres dispersed throughout an epoxy adhesive material, whereby the copper coated aluminum nitride spheres impart higher thermal conductivity to the epoxy adhesives material than an attainable through the utilization of uncoated aluminum nitride spheres.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
55 words
A thermally conductive die attach adhesive for use in coupling a semiconductor device to a substrate, comprising copper coated aluminum nitride spheres dispersed throughout an epoxy adhesive material, whereby the copper coated aluminum nitride spheres impart higher thermal conductivity to the epoxy adhesives material than an attainable through the utilization of uncoated aluminum nitride spheres.
