However, under the microscope a different picture is revealed. Both surfaces are uneven. If the two surfaces are laid directly on top of one another, there is no full contact between them due to air in the microscopically small gaps. This air gap prevents the transmission of heat between the component and the heat sink.<\/p>\n<p>A thermally conductive material fills this gap and creates a significantly better thermal contact.
