Should Engineers be Concerned with Thermal Grease Reliability in Electronics Cooling?

In our Qpedia Thermal eMagazine we reported on whether or not thermal grease is a reliable thermal interface material. When thermal greases are operated for an extended length of time the thermal interface resistance can actually increase. The degradation mechanisms of greases are considerably different and more complicated to characterize than other thermal interface solutions. In this article we explore the failure mechanisms of grease interface layers as well as reliability testing and results.
