We analyze heat conduction by phonons in ultrathin membranes by constructing a new theoretical framework which implies a crossover from a bulk three-dimensional phonon distribution into a quasi-two-dimensional distribution when the temperature is lowered. We calculate the corresponding changes in the relevant thermodynamic quantities. At the end we make a comparison to experimental data.
