Abstract
Provided is a three-dimensionally shaped thermally conductive molded body and manufacturing method thereof, that can ensure sufficient gap filling properties and contact surface area with regard to heat dissipating components such as heat sinks and the like and heat generating components such as IC chips and the like, without adding excessive stress to these components. The three-dimensionally shaped thermally conductive molded body of a first aspect of the present disclosure contains a thermally conductive material and a silicone-based material, the molded body has a substantially flat bottom surface, and a three-dimensional shaped part located on the inside of the bottom surface, and the height of the three-dimensionally shaped part that is higher than the bottom surface differs in at least two locations.

11. A method of manufacturing a three-dimensionally shaped thermally conductive molded body, comprising:
-
preparing a mixture containing a thermally conductive material and a silicone-based material; preparing a mold that can provide a molded body with a substantially flat bottom surface, and a three-dimensional shaped part located on the inside of the bottom surface, and the height of the three-dimensionally shaped part that is higher than the bottom surface differs in at least two locations; providing an extensible film on the mold so as to enable contact with the mold inner surface; overlaying the extensible film on the mold; filling the aforementioned mixture into a hollow part of the mold on which the extensible film has been overlaid, and performing a smoothing process of an optional portion that forms the bottom surface of the molded body; curing the mixture in the mold; and providing the three-dimensionally shaped thermally conductive molded body by removing the three-dimensionally shaped thermally conductive molded body with an extensible film, after optionally cooling the mold, and optionally punching out a portion that does not have the mold shape. - View Dependent Claims (23)

12. A method of manufacturing a three-dimensionally shaped thermally conductive molded body, comprising:
-
forming the upper part outer layer by applying and curing a first silicone-based material containing a thermally conductive material on the extensible film of a laminate film containing an extensible film and a release film; removing the release film of a laminate film having the upper part outer layer, and then placing the laminate film on the mold such that the extensible film can contact the inner surface of the mold, where the mold is a mold that can provide a molded body with a substantially flat bottom surface and a three-dimensional shaped part located on the inside of the bottom surface, and the height of the three-dimensionally shaped part that is higher than the bottom surface differs in at least two locations; overlaying the laminate film on the mold; filling the middle member containing a second silicone-based material including a thermally conductive material into a hollow part of the mold on which the extensible film was overlaid, and optionally performing a smoothing process of a portion positioned on the bottom surface side of the molded body; forming the bottom part outer layer by applying a third silicone-based material containing a thermally conductive material onto the release film and placing the release film containing the bottom part outer layer on the mold such that the release film is an outermost layer, such that the bottom part outer layer covers the upper part outer layer and the middle member filled in the hollow part; curing the second silicone-based material that forms the middle member and the third silicone-based material including the bottom part outer layer if present; providing the three-dimensionally shaped thermally conductive molded body by optionally cooling the mold, removing the three-dimensionally shaped thermally conductive molded body with an extensible film and a release film if present from the mold, optionally removing the extensible film and/or the optional release film if present, and optionally punching out the upper part outer layer portion that does not include the middle member and the bottom part outer layer portion if present. - View Dependent Claims (24)
