  Next, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of an example of a conventional heat dissipation structure for a heat generating device. This heat dissipation device heat dissipation structure includes a printed circuit board 14, a surface mounting device 11 having a chip 12 and a paddle (spreader) 13 mounted on the upper surface of the printed circuit board 14, and a heat radiator 17 disposed in close contact with the lower surface of the printed circuit board 14. It has. The printed circuit board 14 has a plurality of thermal vias 15 formed from the upper surface to the lower surface. The amount of heat Q generated by the chip 12 of the surface mount device 11 is thermally conducted to the paddle 13 and further conducted to the radiator 17 through the plurality of thermal vias 15 of the printed board 14 to be radiated. As a result, the temperature of the surface-mounted device 11, particularly the chip 12, is suppressed to a predetermined value or less necessary for stable operation of the chip 12.

  Here, the thermal via 17 is a via (opening or through hole) having the copper plating 16 and is provided to increase the thermal conductivity in the thickness direction (from one surface to the other surface) of the printed circuit board 14. . The shape of the thermal via 17 is generally a through hole, but the thermal via 17 shown in FIG. In such a case, as shown in FIG. 3, a large number of copper foils 10a are provided in the inner layer of the thermal via 5a and the printed circuit board 4a that are wider than the surface mount device 1a and paddle 3a, and in the lateral (or spreading) direction. By conducting heat, the thermal resistance value of the thermal via 5a can be lowered.

  Next, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of an example of a heat dissipation structure having a thermal via 25 b on the outer peripheral portion of a paddle (spreader) 23 of the surface mount device 21. Under the paddle 23 of the surface mount device 21, there are a thermal via 25 a inside the paddle 23 and a thermal via 25 b on the outer peripheral portion. From the thermal via 25 b on the outer peripheral portion as well as the inner thermal via 25 a. Is a structure that conducts heat. That is, the paddle 23 of the surface mount device 21 is soldered at the time of reflow by cream solder (not shown) applied to the copper foil 20. Then, the heat generated by the surface mount device 21 is thermally conducted from the upper end to the lower end of the paddle 23, the copper foil 20, and the plurality of thermal vias 25, and is conducted by a heat radiator (not shown) disposed therein to be radiated. The That is, with the heat dissipation structure shown in FIG. 4, the heat generated by the chip of the surface mount device 21 can be efficiently radiated by the cooperation of the plurality of thermal vias 25.

  However, according to the heat dissipation structure shown in FIG. 4, the solder may leak from the thermal via 25 when the paddle 23 of the surface mount device 21 is reflow soldered to the copper foil 20 on the upper surface of the printed board 24. That is, in the heat dissipating structure of the surface mount device shown in FIG. 4, a predetermined amount of cream solder (not shown) is provided at the position where the surface mount device 31 indicated by the broken line on the upper surface of the printed board 34 is arranged as shown in FIG. Is applied in advance, and the cream solder is melted by heating during reflow soldering, and the solder 38 flows from the upper end to the lower end of the thermal via 35, and a part of the solder protrudes from the lower surface of the printed circuit board 34. So-called solder leakage occurs. When this solder leakage occurs, the heat sink (not shown in FIG. 5) disposed on the lower surface of the printed circuit board 34 and the printed circuit board 34 cannot be in close contact with each other, and the contact resistance increases, so that the heat radiation characteristics are significantly reduced. Will be.

  As a countermeasure against the above-described solder leakage, a taping 49 is provided on the opposite surface (lower surface) of the surface mount device 41 disposed on the upper surface of the printed board 44 as shown in FIG. By this taping 49, it is possible to effectively prevent solder leakage, in which the solder 48 flowing from the upper surface to the lower surface of the printed circuit board 44 through the thermal via 45 protrudes from the lower surface of the printed circuit board as shown in FIG. However, with this taping technique, the man-hours for applying tape and the man-hours for removing the tape are generated, resulting in another problem of increasing the manufacturing cost.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and provides a mounting device for a heat-generating device having a good heat dissipation characteristic with a simple configuration, and a heat dissipation device that overcomes or reduces such a problem. For the purpose.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the heat generating device mounting apparatus and the heat dissipating apparatus according to the present invention adopt the following characteristic configuration.

(1) The heat generated by a heat generating device that is reflow soldered to one surface of a printed circuit board on which a number of thermal vias penetrating from one surface to the opposite surface are formed is disposed on the opposite surface of the printed circuit board via the thermal via.

(3) The heat generating device mounting apparatus according to (1) or (2), wherein the size of the concave portion of the heat dissipation device is about 20% or less of an area of a contact surface of the heat dissipation device to the printed circuit board.
(4) The heat generating device according to (1), (2), or (3), wherein the thermal via of the printed board has a plurality of copper foils formed in the printed board connected to a plating layer on an inner wall. Mounting equipment.
(5) The heat generating device mounting apparatus according to any one of (1) to (4), wherein the heat generating device includes a power transistor for an amplifier of a communication device.
(6) The heat generating device is disposed in contact with the opposite surface of the printed circuit board that is surface-mounted by reflow soldering, and heat generated by the heat generating device is transferred to a paddle of the heat generating device and a plurality of thermal vias formed on the printed circuit board. In the heat dissipation device that dissipates heat,

(6) or (7) heat dissipating device.

  The heat generating device mounting apparatus and the heat dissipating apparatus according to the present invention have the following practical effects. That is, since the surface opposite to the heat generating device mounting surface of the printed circuit board can be brought into close contact with the printed circuit board contact surface of the heat dissipating device, good heat dissipation characteristics can be obtained. The reason is that it is possible to escape the solder leakage by forming a shallow concave portion below the paddle on the contact surface with the printed circuit board of the heat dissipation device. Further, since only a recess for solder leakage escape is formed in advance on the printed circuit board contact surface of the heat radiating device, it can be realized easily and inexpensively. The reason is that it is not necessary to perform taping for solder leakage escape, which was necessary in the past.

  DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a heat generating device mounting apparatus and a heat dissipation apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  First, FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a preferred embodiment of a heat generating device mounting apparatus according to the present invention. The heat generating device mounting apparatus 50 mounts a surface mount device (hereinafter referred to as a heat generating device) 60 such as a power transistor or a semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) on one surface of a printed board 70, and sets the temperature of the heat generating device to a predetermined value. It is an apparatus that constitutes an electronic circuit (electronics section) such as an electric device that guarantees a stable operation together with other active and passive circuit elements while being suppressed to a value below.

  The heat generating device mounting apparatus 50 includes a heat generating device 60, a printed board 70, and a heat radiating device 80. The heat generating device 60 includes, for example, a chip 61 including a large number of semiconductor elements integrated and formed on a silicon substrate or the like by a well-known technique, like a general packaged IC, and a paddle (spreader) disposed in close contact with the chip 61. 62 and a plurality of lead terminals 63 connected to the terminals of the chip 61, and the whole is covered with an epoxy resin or the like and packaged in a rectangular, circular or other predetermined shape.

  The printed circuit board 70 is preferably a multilayer board, and has one surface (first main surface or upper surface) 71, the other surface (second main surface) 72, and a plurality of patterned highly conductive materials between the both surfaces 71, 72. A conductive layer (not shown) such as copper is formed. Further, a plurality of thermal vias 73 communicating between the one surface 71 and the other surface 72 are formed at a high density on the printed board 70 at least at a position where the heat generating device 60 is mounted. In each thermal via 73, a copper plating layer 74 is formed on the inner wall and a large number of copper foils 75 are formed in the lateral direction so as to obtain good heat conduction characteristics.

  Further, the heat dissipation device 80 according to the present invention is formed of a material having good heat conduction characteristics such as aluminum, and has a sufficient volume to obtain a heat capacity necessary for suppressing heat generation of the heat generating device 60 to a predetermined value or less. That is, the heat dissipation device 80 generally has a sufficiently larger area and thickness than the heat generating device 60. The center position of the heat radiating device 80 is disposed below the printed circuit board 70 so as to be substantially aligned with the center position of the paddle 62 of the heat generating device 60.

  The heat radiating device 80 includes a contact surface (upper surface or first surface) 81 and an opposite surface (lower surface or first surface) of the printed circuit board 70 which are in close contact with the mounting surface (upper surface) 71 and the opposite surface (lower surface) 72 of the heating device 60. 2 sides) 82. In the preferred embodiment of the heat dissipating device 80 shown in the figure, a recess 83 having a size slightly larger than the paddle 62 of the heat generating device 60 is formed in the center of the contact surface 81 of the heat dissipating device 80 with the printed circuit board. The recess 83 has a function as “solder leakage escape” for releasing the solder leakage 78 protruding through the thermal via 73. Therefore, the depth of the recess 83 is selected to be larger than the size of the solder leakage 78 that protrudes or hangs down from the lower surface 72 of the printed board 70 via the thermal via 73.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 1, the operation | movement or effect | action of preferred embodiment of the mounting apparatus 50 of the heat generating device by this invention and the heat radiating device 80 used for it is demonstrated in detail.

  Although not shown in FIG. 1, a predetermined conductive pattern for soldering connection (or reflow connection) of the heat generating device 60 is formed on the heat generating device mounting surface (upper surface) 71 of the printed circuit board 70. Pads for soldering are formed in advance at positions corresponding to the tip portions of the plurality of lead terminals 63 of the heat generating device 60 and the paddles 62 of the heat generating device 60. Further, as described above, a large number of thermal vias 73 are formed in advance at the mounting position on the printed circuit board 70 where the heat generating device 60 is mounted.

  In order to mount the heat generating device 60 on the printed circuit board 70, reflow soldering is used. A predetermined amount of cream solder (a mixture of solder particles and flux) is applied in advance to the position where the conductive pattern of the heat generating device mounting surface (upper surface) 71 of the printed circuit board 70 is connected to the reflow solder (also solder). (If necessary, apply a solder resist to the unattached part).

  Next, the heat generating device 60 is placed on the heat generating device mounting surface 71 of the printed circuit board 70 in alignment with the pad coated with cream solder. Then, the solder paste is melted by heating to a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the solder cream (or by irradiating heat rays such as infrared rays), and the lead terminals 63 and the paddles 62 of the heat generating device 60 and the connections described above corresponding thereto. Reflow solder connection between pads. Of course, other circuit elements constituting the electronic circuit formed on the printed circuit board 70 may be connected by reflow soldering at the same time.

  Here, at the time of the above-described reflow solder connection, the molten solder is not necessarily divided into a plurality of thermal vias 73 below the paddle 62 of the heat generating device 60 and flows down. In particular, a large amount of solder 78 is concentrated from a specific thermal via among the plurality of thermal vias 73, and so-called solder leakage that protrudes from the lower surface 72 of the printed board 70 may occur as shown in FIG.

  However, according to the heat generating device mounting apparatus 50 using the heat radiating device 80 according to the present invention, the concave portion 83 is formed on the contact surface 81 of the heat radiating device 80 with the printed circuit board to avoid the solder leakage 78 described above. Provide escape. With this characteristic configuration, even if a solder leakage 78 occurs in the lower portion of the paddle 62 of the heat generating device 60, the entire surface of the upper surface 81 of the heat radiating device 80 excluding the recess 83 is the lower surface of the printed circuit board 70 (heat radiating device contact surface). 72.

  Therefore, according to the heat generating device mounting apparatus 50 configured as described above, a part of the amount of heat Q generated when operating the electronic circuit including the heat generating device 60 is changed from the chip 61 to the paddle 62, as indicated by the arrow P1. The thermal via 73 directly below, the short space forming the recess 83 and the heat radiating device 80 directly radiate heat, and the remaining part is a copper plating layer on the inner wall of the thermal via 73 from the paddle 62 as indicated by arrows P2 and P3. 74 and a plurality of fin-like copper foils 75 are moved laterally (laterally), and thermal vias 73 other than the thermal vias just below the paddle 62, the lower surface 72 of the printed circuit board 70, and the heat dissipation device 80 in close contact therewith. The heat is conducted to the heat radiating device 80 through the upper surface 81 which is the printed circuit board contact surface, and is radiated.

  As described above, according to the heat generating device mounting apparatus 50 and the heat dissipating apparatus 80 used for the heat generating device according to the present invention, the solder leakage 78 occurs from the hollow inside of the thermal via 73 during the reflow solder connection and protrudes from the lower surface 72 of the printed circuit board 70. However, since the heat radiating device 80 is provided with a concave portion 83 for escaping solder leakage that is deeper than the amount of protrusion of the solder leakage 78, the upper surface 81 (excluding the concave portion 83) of the heat radiating device 80 is printed avoiding the solder leakage 78. The lower surface 72 of the substrate 70 can be reliably brought into contact with, that is, adhered to.

  Here, if the ratio of the surface area of the solder leak escape recess 83 to the area of the upper surface 81 of the heat radiating device 80 (ie, the area where the thermal via 73 is formed) is about 20% or less, the solder leak escape escape area is used. As a result of experiments, it was confirmed that the contact resistance between the heat radiating device 80 and the printed circuit board 70, in other words, the heat radiating characteristics, is not greatly affected by the presence or absence of the recess 83.

  The preferred embodiments of the heat generating device mounting apparatus and the heat dissipating apparatus used therefor according to the present invention have been described in detail above. However, it should be noted that such embodiments are merely examples of the present invention and do not limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that various modifications and changes can be made according to a specific application without departing from the gist of the present invention. In addition, the heat generating device mounting apparatus of the present invention and the heat dissipation device used therefor are suitable for the output amplifying part of a wireless communication apparatus using a transistor having a particularly large output power, but can also be applied to other uses.
