The present invention relates to a thermal interface material layer and use thereof. The thermal interface material layer comprises an indium layer and a heat dissipation cover located on one side of the indium layer; the surface of the heat dissipation cover contains a nickel layer, and the nickel layer is connected to the indium layer.
