2. Description of the Related Art Semiconductor parts such as CPUs and video chips used in personal computers and the like generate high heat during operation. Moreover, when these semiconductor components are overheated, their operation becomes unstable and thermal runaway occurs, and in extreme cases, they may be destroyed.
For this reason, it is necessary to radiate the heat generated there and cool the semiconductor components such as the CPU. A heat sink is generally used for this heat dissipation, and most of the conventional heat sinks are those in which an aluminum block is cut to form a heat dissipation fin.

However, in the conventionally proposed expanded graphite heat sink, the expanded fin block is formed by further cutting the expanded graphite block formed by compression molding of expanded graphite tape or expanded graphite sheet. There is a problem in that the fins cannot have sufficient strength, and it is difficult to prevent the expanded graphite from scattering due to cutting and avoid environmental pollution. If an attempt is made to directly form a fin shape by compression molding from an expanded graphite tape or expanded graphite sheet in order to solve this problem, it is not possible to make the density uniform even in the details of the complicated heat dissipation fin shape, and thus the thermal conductivity and There is a problem that the heat dissipation characteristics become uneven.

[0006] According to the expanded graphite heat sink manufactured by such a manufacturing method, due to the light weight and good thermal conductivity of the expanded graphite, which is the material thereof, a heat sink having a lighter weight and higher heat dissipation than the conventional aluminum heat sink is provided. In addition, since the expanded graphite chips are filled in the mold and compression-molded into a predetermined heat sink shape, it is possible to prevent the expanded graphite from scattering due to cutting, avoid environmental pollution, and prevent complicated heat dissipation. The density of fins and other details can be made uniform, resulting in uniform heat conductivity and even heat dissipation characteristics. Furthermore, since expanded graphite chips that have been sufficiently dried are compression-molded, there is no need to insert them between layers of expanded graphite. It is possible to prevent delamination due to the inclusion of water, and it is possible to give the radiation fin or the like sufficient strength.

In the method for manufacturing an expanded graphite heat sink of the present invention, it is preferable that the expanded graphite chips have a center of particle size distribution of 0.1 mm or more and 3 mm or less. This is because powder having a particle size distribution center of less than 0.1 mm increases the amount of crushing during compression molding, which requires a larger mold than the size of the heat sink, which increases the cost. If it exceeds, it is difficult to perform sufficient compression molding in the mold, and a gap is likely to occur.
