A selective etching process cuts shapes from amorphous metal strip feedstock. The etching process comprises depositing a chemically resistant material to one side of the strip in a pattern that defines the requisite shape, mating the metal strip with a carrier strip, exposing at least one side of the metal strip to an etching agent to selectively etch the desired shape, and separating the shape from the strip feedstock. A plurality of layers of the shapes is assembled by adhesive lamination to form a generally polyhedrally shaped bulk amorphous metal magnetic component useful in high efficiency electric motors and inductive devices. The bulk amorphous metal magnetic component may include an arcuate surface, and preferably includes two arcuate surfaces that are disposed opposite to each other. The magnetic component is operable at frequencies ranging from about 50 Hz to about 20,000 Hz. When the component is operated at an excitation frequency “f” to a peak induction level B_max, the component exhibits a core-loss less than about “L” wherein L is given by the formula L=0.005 f(B_max)^1.5+0.000012 f^1.5(B_max)^1.6, said core loss, said excitation frequency and said peak induction level being measured in watts per kilogram, hertz, and teslas, respectively. Performance characteristics of the bulk amorphous metal magnetic component of the present invention are significantly better than those of silicon-steel components operated over the same frequency range.

An interface material comprising a resin mixture and at least one solder material is herein described. The resin material may comprise any suitable resin material, but it is preferred that the resin material be silicone-based comprising one or more compounds such as vinyl silicone, vinyl Q resin, hydride functional siloxane and platinum-vinylsiloxane.

The interface material, or polymer solder, has the capability of enhancing heat dissipation in high power semiconductor devices and maintains stable thermal performance. The interface material may be formulated by mixing the components together to produce a paste which may be applied by dispensing methods to any particular surface and cured at room temperature or elevated temperature. It can be also formulated as a highly compliant, cured, tacky elastomeric film or sheet for other interface applications where it can be preapplied, for example on heat sinks, or in any other interface situations.
