Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a magnetic heat transfer device for a semiconductor chip which can be used in the field of semiconductor integrated circuits.
  • the use of a magnet thermally bonded to a large cooling device allows the heat generated in the microchip to be removed thanks to the use of a magnetic fluid that the flux emanating from the magnet keeps in place and whose shape it defines, this fluid covering a large part of the rear face of the chip which does not have electrical contacts for input and output of electrical signals.
  • This fluid allows heat transfer by conduction and convection, and makes it possible to replace and repair the microchip.
  • This allows the different elements to move relative to each other which solves the problems posed by the different coefficients of thermal expansion.
  • the invention makes it possible to obtain maximum heat transfer because the quantity of magnetic fluid maintained by the magnet is greater than would be possible from simple viscosity.
  • a magnetic fluid is applied to the rear face of the chip.
  • the form adopted by this fluid and its thermal circulation are determined by the flux generated by a magnet thermally bonded to a large cooling device.
  • a substrate 1 which may be composed of one or more insulating layers containing conductors and contacts 2 connected to corresponding contacts on a chip 4 by means of connections 3.
  • the connections shown are made by soldering by reflow, a technique in which the surface tension of a quantity of solder whose surface is limited by the dimensions of the contacts raises the chip above the substrate while providing an electrical connection.
  • Another well known technique of connection with a microchip consists in ensuring the connection of the conductors by means of a mounting frame.
  • a magnetic fluid 5 is applied to the rear face of the microchip 4.
  • This fluid of which there are different known types, consists of a vehicle containing magnetic particles in suspension.
  • the viscosity of this fluid is such that it will not flow beyond the edges of the chip, and due to the presence of magnetic particles which are in suspension in the fluid, the shape of the latter can be modified by a magnetic flux.
  • a commercially available fluid is marketed by the firm Ferro Fluidics Corporation. The fluid must remain stable at the operating temperature of the chip.
  • Figure 2 is a section of Figure 1 and shows the details of the magnet 6 and the magnetic fluid 5.
  • the chip 4 is again shown, as well as the connections 3, made by reflow soldering , with the substrate 1.
  • the magnetic fluid 5 is shown on the rear face of the chip 4.
  • the magnet 6 has a shape such that the flux lines, as shown in the figure, go from a peripheral region 9 to a central region 10, so that, as a result of the flow, the fluid 5 assumes a shape which makes it possible to have a greater quantity of fluid than that which the viscosity would normally allow, thus increasing the heat transfer by convection and by conduction from the rear face of the chip to the magnet 6, which is thermally linked to the cooling device 7, which in turn transfers the heat via the fins 8, to the medium in which the assembly is located.
  • the configuration of the peripheral region 9 and of the central part 10 of the magnet 6 makes it possible to perform two functions, on the one hand, to give the magnetic fluid 5 a shape such that it allows, if necessary, to have a quantity of fluid greater than that which viscosity would normally allow, and, on the other hand, to keep the fluid in place during vibrations and thermal expansion.
  • the shape of the fluid is such that it allows the increase of heat transfer by conduction and by convection.
  • the non-uniform magnetic field generally attracts the fluid towards the region in which the magnetic field is most intense, this region being in principle the central part of the chip.
  • the description given above relates to the use of a magnet and a magnetic fluid to facilitate the conduction and convection of heat between the rear face of a microchip and a cooling device while at the same time maintaining contact. not rigid but thermally efficient.
