Description

Ultrathin vapor chamber, preparation method thereof and electronic equipment
Technical Field
The disclosure relates to the technical field of soaking plates, in particular to an ultrathin soaking plate, a preparation method thereof and electronic equipment.
Background
In recent years, portable electronic products are continuously developed towards high integration and miniaturization, the heat dissipation requirement of electronic chips in a limited space is higher and higher, and the development of novel efficient heat dissipation technology is crucial to the development of electronic products. The vapor chamber is used as a phase change heat transfer element to realize two-dimensional plane heat transfer, has the advantages of high heat transfer efficiency, strong vapor chamber performance, high reliability and the like, and is widely applied to various large heat dissipation fields at present. However, as the thickness of the vapor chamber is continuously reduced, particularly when the thickness is less than 3mm, the internal vapor diffusion thermal resistance is greatly increased, so that the thermal resistance is increased and the heat transfer limit is obviously reduced. In addition, the ultra-thin vapor chamber makes the manufacturing process complicated, increases the manufacturing cost, and reduces the overall mechanical strength. The wick serves as a core component of the vapor chamber and mainly plays a role in transporting condensed liquid to an evaporation center through capillary action. When condensate cannot flow back to the evaporation center in time and local burn-out occurs, the vapor chamber reaches the capillary limit. Therefore, the wick structure determines the critical heat flux density of the ultra-thin soaking plate to a large extent.
The traditional single-aperture liquid suction core structure is difficult to meet the design requirements of large capillary force and high permeability, and a great number of students have carried out a lot of work on the structural design and optimization of the liquid suction core, such as the heat transfer limit of a vapor chamber is improved through the technologies of a homogeneous/heterogeneous composite liquid suction core, a double-layer evaporation end liquid suction core, a nano liquid suction core and the like. However, the complex composite structure and the nano technology are not beneficial to the ultrathin development of the vapor chamber, and the manufacturing cost is increased, so that the mass industrial production of the ultrathin vapor chamber is not beneficial. In view of the above, the existing ultrathin vapor chamber still has a plurality of defects, and the design of the ultrathin vapor chamber with excellent heat transfer performance, easy processing and manufacturing and high mechanical strength is still a very important and significant research topic at present.
