Abstract

A heat dissipation sheet 10 includes cohesive inorganic filler particles 1 having a breaking strength of 20 MPa or lower and a modulus of elasticity of 48 MPa or higher and a matrix resin 2 . Half or more of the cohesive inorganic filler particles 1 in the heat dissipation sheet 10 satisfy the following conditions A and B, and the cohesive inorganic filler particles satisfying the following conditions A and B satisfy the following condition C or D Condition A: cohesive inorganic filler particles are in surface contact with each other Condition B: an aspect ratio is within a range of a number larger than 1 and less than or equal to 2 Condition C: in triangles formed to have one side which is a straight line constituted by a contact interface between cohesive inorganic filler particles and an apex which is a center of a virtual circle of the cohesive inorganic filler, a sum S t of areas of triangles in which an angle θ 1 formed by connecting both ends of the straight line to the apex becomes 30 degrees or larger is 20% or more with respect to a sum S h of cross-sectional areas of the cohesive inorganic filler particles Condition D: the sum S h is 90% or less with respect to a sum S v of areas of virtual circles of the cohesive inorganic filler particles.
