Description

Wafer system micro-channel manufacturing method capable of measuring flow velocity, pressure and temperature
Technical Field

Background
Along with the development of 'moore' and the bottleneck, people do not simply rely on the scaling down of transistor sizes to improve the integration level of integrated circuits, but adopt advanced packaging technology represented by 2.5D/3D integration to further improve the performance of chips. However, the high density stacking of multiple chips in the three-dimensional vertical direction brings about serious heat dissipation problems, especially, the chips located inside the three-dimensional stacked structure cannot directly dissipate heat through an external heat dissipation device, and the chips are arranged on the upper and lower sides, so that normal operation is seriously affected.
In order to dissipate heat of chips in a three-dimensional integrated system, people begin to embed micro-channel structures in the three-dimensional integrated system, and heat generated by the operation of the chips is taken away by flowing cooling liquid. The common practice of the embedded micro-channel is to bond the chip with a silicon wafer or a glass sheet etched with micro-channel patterns, and the bottom of the chip and the micro-channel form a closed pipeline capable of enabling the cooling liquid to flow in the horizontal direction. This approach not only requires a specialized bonding step, but the bonding of the chip to additional silicon or glass sheets with microchannels also increases the thickness of the overall structure.
The invention provides a method for manufacturing a micro-channel capable of measuring flow velocity, pressure and temperature based on a method for selectively releasing a sacrificial layer by laser, which is used for radiating heat of a three-dimensional integrated system, wherein a closed pipeline for cooling liquid to flow in the horizontal direction can be manufactured without bonding with an additional silicon chip or glass sheet, and the micro-channel has the function of measuring the flow velocity of the cooling liquid and can monitor the physical parameters such as the temperature, the flow velocity, the pressure and the like of the cooling liquid in real time.
