1. An apparatus for maximizing thermal conduction and eliminating the adverse effects of operational thermal cycling comprising:

  • an integrated circuit chip having a top surface and a bottom surface, and operational within a temperature range;

    a bonding composition on a surface of said integrated circuit chip, said bonding composition having a solidus-liquidus temperature range encompassing said integrated circuit chip operational temperature range, such that said bonding composition is in a semi-molten state when power is applied to said integrated circuit chip and said chip is operating within the chip operational temperature range; and

    , an elastomeric gasket, for use with non-hermetically sealed or semi-hermetically sealed electronic modules, of a polymeric ring fitted within a groove in said cover.
