Aiming at the question this paper proposes an optimum design of nanostructures made of high thermal conductive nanomaterials to provide outstanding heat dissipation from the confined interior possibly nanosized to the microspaces of electronic devices. The design incorporates a carbon nanocone for conducting heat from the interior to the exterior of a miniature electronic device with the optimum diameter D0 of the nanocone satisfying the relationship D02 x V x1 2 where x is the position along the length direction of the carbon nanocone. Branched structure made of single-walled carbon nanotubes CNTs are shown to be particularly suitable for the purpose. It was found that the total thermal resistance of a branched structure reaches a minimum when the diameter ratio b satisfies the relationship b y025bN-1 k where g is ratio of length b to approximately on the singlewalled CNTs b to approximately on the multiwalled CNTs k 2 and N is the bifurcation number N 2 3 4 . . The findings of this research provide a blueprint in designing miniaturized electronic devices with outstanding heat dissipation.
