Abstract

Conducting liquid crystal polymer matrix comprising carbon nanotubes aligned in the matrix is provided, along with use thereof and method of fabrication.

Claims (22)

1. A structure comprising a conducting liquid crystal polymer matrix comprising carbon nanotubes aligned in the matrix located between opposed surfaces,

wherein the amount of the carbon nanotubes in the matrix is at least about 0.5% by weight, and

wherein the opposed surfaces are treated with a thin alignment layer.

2. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the alignment is perpendicular to the opposed surfaces.

3. A structure comprising a conducting liquid crystal polymer matrix comprising carbon nanotubes aligned in the matrix located between opposed surfaces,

wherein the amount of the carbon nanotubes in the matrix is about 1 to about 5% by weight, and

wherein the opposed surfaces are treated with a thin alignment layer.

4. The structure of claim 3 , wherein the alignment is perpendicular to the opposed surfaces.

5. A microelectronic device comprising an integrated chip and heat spreader or heat sink and a conducting liquid crystal polymer matrix comprising carbon nanotubes aligned in the matrix located between the chip and heat spreader or heat sink,

wherein the amount of the carbon nanotubes in the matrix is at least about 0.5% by weight,

wherein the liquid crystal polymer matrix is located between opposed layers, and wherein

the opposed layers are treated with a thin alignment layer.

6. A microelectronic device comprising an integrated chip and heat spreader or heat sink, and a conducting liquid crystal polymer matrix comprising carbon nanotubes aligned in the matrix located between the chip and heat spreader or heat sink,

wherein the amount of the carbon nanotubes in the matrix is about 1 to about 5% by weight,

wherein the liquid crystal polymer matrix is located between opposed layers, and wherein

the opposed layers are treated with a thin alignment layer.

7. The microelectronic device of claim 5 , wherein the alignment is perpendicular to the opposed surfaces.

8. The microelectronic device of claim 6 , wherein the alignment is perpendicular to the opposed surfaces.

9. The microelectronic device of claim 5 , wherein the conducting liquid crystal polymer matrix contains crosslinked liquid crystal polymer.

10. The microelectronic device of claim 6 , wherein the conducting liquid crystal polymer matrix contains crosslinked liquid crystal polymer.

11. The microelectronic device of claim 5 , wherein the amount of the carbon nanotubes in the matrix is about 1 to about 10% by weight.

12. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the amount of the carbon nanotubes in the matrix is about 1 to about 10% by weight.
