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. The process includes disposing the selectively cross-linked putty pad between an electrical component and a heat spreader to form an assembly. The process further includes compressing the assembly to form a thermal interface material structure that includes a selectively cross-linked thermal interface material.
