Description

Microchannel cooling heat sink

The utility model relates to the cooling-part of heat radiation such as semiconductor laser and array device, large scale integrated circuit, also can be applied to other and require quick heat radiating and by many-sided occasion that realizes integral heat sink, as the crystal heat radiation etc.

Micro-channel heat sink is proposed in Stanford Univ USA (Stanford) by soil gram graceful (D.B.Tuckerman) the earliest.The structure of the microchannel cooling heat sink of describing in graceful " high-performance of large scale integrated circuit is heat sink (High-Performance Heat Sinking for the VISI) " literary composition delivered in the 2nd the 5th phase of volume of in May, 1981 electronic device communication (IEEE ELECTRONDEVICE LETTER) of soil gram is: some rectangle grooves are corroded with chemical method in the silicon substrate back side in integrated circuit (IC) chip, constitute the cooling fluid microchannel with the cover plate coupling, sealing forms coolant circuit with extraneous the connection.The heat that device produces is transmitted to heat sink by binder course, taken away by the cooling fluid that flows in the microchannel and reach purpose to heat dissipation of integrated circuit chip.This technology has obtained positive effect, however this heat sink large scale integrated circuit and the laser diode array and the planar-type semiconductor device that can only be used for plane, and it can only be by a contact-making surface heat radiation.And, because the thermal resistance of conduction and the thermal conductivity of material are inversely proportional to the equivalent thermal resistance of cooling fluid heat absorption and the structural parameters of microchannel in the microchannel

(the width and the degree of depth that W and H are respectively the microchannel) is inversely proportional to, it is fast that the depth-to-width ratio that is to say the microchannel is greatly then taken away heat, but the thermal conductivity of silicon materials is not very very good, particularly make the microchannel and be difficult for the depth-to-width ratio (groove depth is difficult to above 300 microns) that reaches big, so limited radiating effect with chemical corrosion method.

For this reason, the utility model aims to provide a kind of micro-channel heat sink of new construction, so that overcomes the scarce limit of the heat sink existence of above-mentioned prior art, improves heat sink cooling effectiveness, makes it easy to use, and range of application is widened.

Microchannel cooling heat sink of the present utility model is to enclose formation by heat sink superimposed envelope of uniformly good heat-conducting metal (or alloy) thin slice of N piece (N 〉=4).These are heat sink slice is divided into heat transfer sheet 1, dust piece 2, flow deflector 3 successively and crosses flow 4 by superimposed order.Cross and have

circular hole

41,45 in the flow 4 and be respectively inlet opening and fluid hole, in order to being connected with external pipe by the round section joint ring sealing, mistake flow 4 directly contacts with mount pad.Heat transfer sheet is directly to contact with the object that is cooled, atresia or also to have circular hole in case of necessity be liquid inlet/outlet.Parallel many intensive thin slits 23 are arranged on the dust piece 2,30～100 microns of the common values of width of thin slit, the density of thin slit is distributed in the middle part or concentrated being distributed in circle, ring-band shape or the bar-shaped zone of dust piece 2 greater than 10/millimeter thin slit 23 large formats.Relevant position at liquid inlet/outlet also has

circular hole

21 and 25, and circular is evenly distributed with

wide seam

22,24 and communicates with circular hole 21,25.Between dust piece 2 and mistake flow 4, flow deflector 3 is arranged, the individual strip pod

apertures

32,34 of M (M 〉=2) is arranged on the flow deflector 3,

circular hole

31,35 is also arranged.The

pod apertures

32,34 of the strip on the flow deflector is in order that thin slit 23 of cross-over connection and

wide seam

22,24 communicate.After the superimposed bonding of these heat sink thin slices, envelope is enclosed mutually, wherein wide seam forms the main channel of cooling fluid circulation, thin slit forms the microchannel, pod apertures then forms flow-guiding channel, and liquid pass hole has formed crosses liquid passage, the heat sink superimposed integral body that becomes, become the thin-wall construction of a high compressive strength, and have circular liquid inlet/outlet.

Above-mentioned formation is heat sink heat sink all select good and the metal or alloy material that physico-chemical property is stable of heat conductivility for use, for example oxygen-free copper, silver-plated red copper, silver or the like, heat sink can be square, rectangle, circle or ring-band shape.

Compared with the prior art, microchannel cooling heat sink of the present utility model has following advantage:

1. cooling effect is better.

Theoretical and experiment points out already that all the cooling fluid turbosphere has been the major part of heat-absorbing action, and the depth-to-width ratio of its thermal resistance and passage is inversely proportional to.Scribe the restriction of the anti-soak time of the protected glue in microchannel or the like condition in the prior art with chemical corrosion method, the groove depth of tens microns width of silicon chip etching is difficult to above 300 microns; And the bottom land plane is difficult to guarantee that this also directly influences radiating effect.This novel employing thin slice superimposed then envelope of cracking is enclosed the microchannel that is constituted, and depth-to-width ratio is not restricted, can improve the heat absorption capacity of turbosphere greatly.Groove depth channel cross-section just increase, the total flow of cooling fluid increases thereupon, also helps improving the speed of taking away heat.Good heat-conducting metal and absolute flat heat transfer layer have reduced the object that is cooled to greatest extent to the thermal resistance of cooling fluid, and for example the thermal conductivity of copper or silver is nearly 3 times of silicon chip, so this novel cooling effect is better than above-mentioned prior art far away.

2. applicable situation is widely arranged.

Because this novel liquid inlet/outlet all is a circular port, adopt round section joint ring to be connected with extraneous, this connected mode is more reliable than the sealing of rubber tissue, and it is easy to assembly, be easy to realize the module splicing, therefore can be applied to any device that requires quick heat radiating, the device that is suitable for that particularly suitable thickness is arranged and requires to realize by multiaspect integral heat sink is as the operation material of solid state laser, light functional crystal device, high-power electric components and parts or the like.

3. it is convenient to be electrically connected.

Good with the heat sink electric conductivity that the metal heat sink sheet is overlapped into, just in time serve as the bottom electrode of chip when being used for big current semiconductor device such as cooling high power laser diode, be fixed on the metal base of connecting external pipe, can realize reliable electrical connection.

4. heat sink simple in structure is convenient to processing, the rate of finished products height.

Silicon chip etching process conditions harshness in the prior art, speed is extremely slow, the fastest potassium hydroxide (KOH) etch process can only reach per hour 4 microns, and groove more zanjon baseplane shape cannot say for sure more the card, directly influence radiating effect.And this novel heat sink way of any advanced person that can adopt is carved thin slit or wide seam, such as with the way of laser processing etc., and this laser cutting parameter maturation, easy to operate, speed is fast, and rate of finished products is also high.

Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing to this novel being further described.
