For example, assuming that the surface is very finely scarred to form perfect rows of triangular pyramids, the effective surface area of the block would be tripled, in comparison to a perfectly flat finish.
Assuming you want any compound at all in there. Pure copper is almost 100 times as conductive as silver paste. With a perfect finish, you could remove the paste altogether and have a much, much more effcient junction.
