A process of forming a thermal interface material structure includes selectively masking a putty pad that includes ultraviolet (UV) curable cross-linkers to form a masked putty pad. The masked putty pad has a first area that is exposed and a second area that is masked. The process also includes exposing the masked putty pad to UV light to form a selectively cross-linked putty pad.

Die stacks and methods of making die stacks with very thin dies are disclosed. The die surfaces remain flat within a 5 micron tolerance despite the thinness of the die and the process steps of making the die stack. A residual flux height is kept below 50% of the spacing distance between adjacent surfaces or structures, e.g. in the inter-die spacing.
