# Solutions, not just materials.

Unlike conventional TIM suppliers, we don’t kick-off a customer engagement sending data sheets and material samples. Our method arrives at better solutions faster—and with lower total cost of ownership.

## The Carbice Method

While each customer engagement is unique, the underlying principle is simple: we collaborate with you to determine which solution optimizes your product and support your team every step of the way.

14-17 WEEKS TOTAL DEVELOPMENT TIME

| Stage         | Time        |
|---------------|-------------|
| Discovery     | 1-2 Weeks   |
| Simulations   | 1-3 Weeks   |
| Testing       | 8 Weeks     |
| Delivery      | 4 Weeks     |

1. **1-2 Weeks**  
   We ask questions about your application, understand its thermal management design, and determine what’s needed.

2. **1-3 Weeks**  
   We look at our product portfolio and customization options and narrow down our recommendations, running sophisticated Carbice® SIM models.

3. **8 Weeks**  
   First we manufacture a small batch of Carbice Pads. Then, using our lab or yours, we test that material. That material usually meets customer requirements thanks to our proven modeling.

4. **4 Weeks**  
   We manufacture Carbice Pads according to your specs, cut the sheets based on your designs, and deliver easy-to-mount material.

### Carbice achieves the lowest total cost of ownership among TIMs.

With your final assembly matched to the right Carbice material, you’re free to order and re-order as needed, allowing for the lowest total cost of ownership among TIM solutions. We make that a reality in four ways:

**Performance**  
Keeping your system cooler can minimize your cooling components. Our high-strength, chemically inert material can further reduce your BOM.

**Reliability**  
Carbice Pad doesn’t pump out, dry out, or allow stress concentrations. Rather, it maintains, and may actually improve, performance over time and cycles.

**Manufacturability**  
We deliver pre-cut sheets with bolt holes, cut-outs, tacks, etc. easily set-up for line assembly. Multiple adhesive options allow for clean re-work and re-use without thermal penalty.

**Consistency**  
No need to run multiple expensive quals: Model performance accurately with our proven Carbice SIM simulation software and use Carbice Lab’s calibrated equipment for your qual needs.
