What it does
Application-relevant TIM characterization from material screening to accelerated reliability testing.
The manufacturers we represent solve technically narrow—but commercially critical—problems. Nanotest provides thermal material characterization, thermal test vehicles and failure-analysis technologies. budatec provides vacuum soldering, sintering and application-specific manufacturing equipment.
Engineering problem solved
Move from assumption to controlled, repeatable evidence.
A datasheet conductivity value rarely predicts real package performance. TIMA 6 reveals how pressure, temperature, bond-line thickness, cycling and material aging change the complete thermal path.
Typical applications
Where TIMA 6 creates value.
-
Thermal grease, gel, phase-change material and liquid-metal screening
-
Gap pad, gap filler, adhesive, underfill and mold compound characterization
-
TIM burn-in, pump-out and thermo-mechanical aging studies
-
Pressure- and bond-line-thickness optimization
-
TIM1 and TIM2 material qualification for high-performance packages
