- The observation of neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ) would show that lepton number is violated, reveal that neu-trinos are Majorana particles, and provide information on neutrino mass. A discovery-capable experiment covering the inverted ordering region, with effective Majorana neutrino masses of 15 - 50 meV, will require a tonne-scale experiment with excellent energy resolution and extremely low backgrounds, at the level of ∼0.1 count /(FWHM·t·yr) in the region of the signal. The current generation 76Ge experiments GERDA and the Majorana Demonstrator, utilizing high purity Germanium detectors with an intrinsic energy resolution of 0.12%, have achieved the lowest backgrounds by over an order of magnitude in the 0νββ signal region of all 0νββ experiments. Building on this success, the LEGEND collaboration has been formed to pursue a tonne-scale 76Ge experiment. The collaboration aims to develop a phased 0νββ experimental program with discovery potential at a half-life approaching or at 1028 years, using existing resources as appropriate to expedite physics results.

- Hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN) has been considered as a promising enhancement filler for thermal management due to its high thermal conductivity, structural stability, and super electrical resistivity. Numerus studies have reported using BN as an enhancement filler to achieve high thermally conductive polymer based thermal management materials. However, there are limited data regarding the influence of the flake size of BN sheets to the thermal management property of BN filled composites. In this work, three h-BN size geometries, including microscale h-BN powder, h-BN nanosheets, and a mixture of micro and nanoscale h-BN, were studied regarding its thermal transfer performance. The results show that h-BN nanosheets are able to achieve the highest in-plane thermal conductivity with loading from 0 - 5 wt% while for the through-plane thermal conductivity, all three geometries show similar thermal property when the filler loading less than 5 wt%. Through-plane thermal conductivity exhibits a sudden increase to 5.69 W m-1 K-1 at a loading of 5 wt%..

- Thermally conductive materials with electrically insulating properties have been extensively investigated for thermal management of electronic devices. The combined properties of high thermal conductivity, structural stability, corrosion resistance and electric resistivity make hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) a promising candidate for this purpose. Theoretical studies have revealed that h-BN has a high in-plane thermal conductivity up to 400-800 W m-1 K-1 at room temperature. However, it is still a big challenge to achieve high thermally conductive h-BN thick films that are commercially feasible due to its poor mechanical properties. On the other hand, many polymers exhibit advantages for flexibility. Thus, combining the merits of polymer and the high thermal conductivity of h-BN particles is considered as a promising solution for this issue. In this work, orientated PVP/h-BN films were prepared by electrospinning and a subsequent mechanical pressing process. With the optimized h-BN loading, a PVP/h-BN composite film with up to 22 W m-1 K-1 and 0.485 W m-1 K-1 for in-plane and through-plane thermal conductivity can be achieved, respectively. We believe this work can help accelerate the development of h-BN for thermal management applications.

- High density packaging in combination with increased transistor integration inevitably leads to challenging power densities in terms of thermal management. The conventional TIMs that are widely used in the microelectronic industry today are experiencing more and more stress due to their limited thermal performance and poor reliability. Composed by particle laden polymer matrix, thermal conductivity (K) of conventional TIMs is generally limited to 5 W/mK, and such values can be even lower for electrically insulated TIMs. Conventional TIMs also suffer from severe pump-out and dry-out failures, which brought great threat to the performance and lifetime of the electronic devices. Here, we solve these problems by applying a novel highly thermal conductive, electrically insulated and reliable graphene based TIMs (I-GTs). Composed by vertical graphene structures, I-GTs provide a continuous heat pathway from top to bottom, which enables superfast heat dissipation at through-plane direction. The highest bulk through-plane thermal conductivity of the conductive body can reach up to 1000 W/mK, which is orders of magnitude higher than conventional TIMs, and even outperforms the pure indium TIMs by over ten times. The highly flexible and foldable nature of I-GT enables at least 100% compressibility upon small applied pressures. As excellent gap fillers, I-GT can provide complete physical contact between two surfaces and thereby minimize the contact resistance to heat flow. The measured minimum thermal resistance for I-GTs reaches about 30 Kmm2/W. Such values are significantly higher than the randomly dispersed composites presented above. To ensure fully electrical insulation, a smooth and soft adhesive layer with a thickness of few microns was coated on the surface of I-GT. The breakdown voltage of I-GT reaches up to 950 V. Thermal cycling test shows the highly stable nature of I-GT. The good compressibility and elasticity of I-GT ensures continued proper TIM contact with substrates, which counteracts the effect of internal stress induced by the mismatch of coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) during temperature cycling. In addition, the I-GTs have the advantages of low density and good maintainability. The resulting I-GTs thus opens new opportunities for addressing large heat dissipation issues for form-factor driven electronics and other high power driven systems.

- Thermal interface material (TIM) is applied to fill the air gaps of interfaces, which provides a path for interfacial heat transfer. Owing to the exceptional thermal properties of carbon nanotubes (CNT), TIMs based on CNTs have received much attention in recent years. In this study, heat dissipation performance of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNT) arrays as TIM in electronic packing was analyzed. Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes with length of 245?m and 763?m were synthesized on a silicon substrate by chemical vapor deposition respectively. Morphology of the vertically aligned carbon nanotubes was characterized by scanning electron microscope. The hotspot temperature of thermal test chip with vertically aligned carbon nanotubes were characterized by resistance temperature detector method and infrared imaging method.

- Graphene films (GFs) can be used in the field of electronics cooling, owing to many outstanding properties. In the present paper, GFs samples were graphitized at different pressures to study their effect on the mechanical properties. The elastic modulus and hardness of GFs were measured by nanoindentation and the tensile strength of GFs were obtained by stretching GFs in a tensile tester. Meanwhile, GFs were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy. The results show that the modulus, hardness and tensile strength of GFs were strongly influenced by the defect and wrinkles among other things.

- Nanoscale silver paste has a good application prospect in heat dissipation of high-power chips due to the characteristics of low temperature sintering and high temperature service. The properties of the nanosilver paste including thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and shear strength are affected greatly by the sintering process. The influence of different sintering methods on the performance of the nanosilver paste was studied in this article. The nanosilver paste with 80.5 wt% nano-scale silver particles, 1.5 wt% submicron-scale SiC particles with Ag coating, 0.9 wt% dispersion agent, 10 wt% organic carrier and 7.1 wt% diluting agent was sintered at 260°C for 30 min with three different methods, heating table sintering, heating furnace sintering, and mixed sintering. The samples obtained by mixed sintering process have higher thermal conductivity than the ones obtained by heating furnace sintering method and heating table sintering method. The effect of sintering methods on shear strength of nanosilver paste was also investigated subsequently. Shear testing equipment was used to measure the shear strength of the samples gained by heating table sintering, heating furnace sintering, and air dry oven sintering. The maximum shear strength was obtained for the samples by heating table sintering method. The shear strength of samples by air dry oven sintering method was the minimum one.

- A silver alloyed n-type bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) thermoelectric (TE) bulk material with nano crystalline structure was studied and characterized in this paper. The Bi2Te3 nanopowders used in this study were first fabricated via a patented explosion based process. Then, the various concentrations of Ag nanoparticles (0-20 wt. %) were added into the Bi2Te3 nanopowders in order to increase the electrical conductivity. Combining the benefits of high electrical conductivity (1.51x10(5) S.m(-1)) and low thermal conductivity (0.441 W.m(-1).K-1), the dimensionless figure of merit (ZT value) of 1.48 for this n-type Bi2Te3 TE material is achieved at 300 K temperature.

- Owing to the great demand in more functions and miniaturization in microelectronic packaging, the dimensions of interconnects has decreased extremely, which has resulted in electrical, thermal, and mechanical reliability issues. To address these issues, carbon nanotube (CNT) has been selected as a promising alternative material for the interconnects in packaging due to its large current density, high thermal conductivity, great flexibility, and low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). In this paper, the development of CNTs based vertical interconnects was reviewed. However, the resistivity of CNTs based interconnects was much higher than that of copper interconnects. Thus, this review focused on the resistivity of CNTs-based interconnects in different fabrication process and pointed out what improves the resistivity. In the future, CNTs-Cu nanocomposite with unique properties could be the suitable material for bumps to reduce the resistivity of CNTs based bumps further.
