Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is a thermally conductive sheet comprising a plurality of unit layers, each comprising a silicone resin and a thermally conductive filler, the plurality of unit layers being laminated such that the plurality of unit layers are adhered to each other, wherein a volume content of the silicone resin is 32% by volume or less, and a compressive load at a sheet area of 25.4 mm×25.4 mm when the thermally conductive sheet is 30% compressed from a direction perpendicular to an adhesion plane on which the plurality of unit layers are adhered to each other is 7.0 kgf or less. According to the present invention, it is possible to improve the thermal conductivity and enhance the softness of a thermally conductive sheet using a silicone resin as a matrix component and composed of a large number of unit layers laminated as compared with the conventional one.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A thermally conductive sheet comprising a plurality of unit layers, each comprising a silicone resin and a thermally conductive filler, the plurality of unit layers being laminated such that the plurality of unit layers are adhered to each other, wherein a volume content of the silicone resin is 32% by volume or less, wherein the thermally conductive filler comprises an anisotropic filler, wherein the anisotropic filler is oriented in a thickness direction of the sheet, wherein the anisotropic filler comprises a flaky material, wherein a normal direction of a flaky plane of the flaky material faces in a lamination direction of the plurality of unit layers, wherein a content of the flaky material is 120 parts by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of the silicone resin, and a compressive load at a sheet area of 25.4 mm×25.4 mm when the thermally conductive sheet is 30% compressed from a direction perpendicular to an adhesion plane on which the plurality of unit layers are adhered to each other is 7.0 kgf or less. 2 . The thermally conductive sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of unit layers are laminated along one direction along a plane direction of the sheet. 3 . The thermally conductive sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the thermally conductive filler further comprises a non-anisotropic filler. 4 . The thermally conductive sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the anisotropic filler further comprises a fibrous material. 5 . The thermally conductive sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the unit layers that are adjacent are firmly adhered directly to each other. 6 . The thermally conductive sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the anisotropic filler is boron nitride, and a content of the boron nitride is 180 parts by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of the silicone resin. 7 . The thermally conductive sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the thermal conductivity of the thermally conductive sheet in the thickness direction is 10.5 W/(m·K) or more.
