Description
本發明係關於一種可用於進一步加工形成均溫板元件及其毛細結構之片狀金屬元件,尤其是一種經過加熱裂解及粉末燒結後會形成多孔隙毛細結構之片狀金屬元件,用以和另一片狀金屬元件封合並加工形成一均溫板元件。 The present invention relates to a sheet metal element that can be used for further processing to form a vapor chamber element and its capillary structure, especially a sheet metal element that can form a porous capillary structure after thermal cracking and powder sintering, which can be used with other The sheet metal element is sealed and machined to form a vapor chamber element.
習知薄型均溫板(vapor chamber)的製作方法,係將片狀銅基板蝕刻溝槽後,在銅基板上鋪置銅粉網,經石墨治具壓合並在高溫下燒結而形成毛細結構於銅片基板之溝槽表面,接著將具有毛細結構的銅片基板以溝槽在內的的方式與另一片狀銅基板焊接起來以形成氣道空腔。進一步經過注水、抽真空、封合等加工,以製成具有毛細結構之薄型均溫板。 The manufacturing method of the conventional thin vapor chamber is that after etching the grooves on the sheet copper substrate, laying a copper powder mesh on the copper substrate, pressing the graphite jig and sintering at high temperature to form a capillary structure. The surface of the groove of the copper sheet substrate, and then the copper sheet substrate with the capillary structure is welded with another sheet copper substrate in the manner of the groove inside to form an air channel cavity. After further processing such as water injection, vacuuming, sealing, etc., a thin uniform temperature plate with a capillary structure is formed.
習知均溫板的毛細結構,依元件厚度及解熱功率不同,有溝槽(Groove)、纖維(Fiber)、銅網(Mesh)以及燒結銅粉末(Sintered Powder)四種類型,其中以燒結銅粉末(Sintered Powder)毛細力最佳,亦不受重力影響。但在超均溫板(Vapor Chamber)製作上,由於元件厚度及溝槽深度太小,鋪置銅粉燒結的毛細結構很難製作,而鋪設銅網(Mesh)成為主流。然而,要在元件厚度只有不到0.3mm超薄均溫板中鋪設銅網(Mesh),工序相當繁瑣及困難,不易自動化量產,而且銅網毛細力亦不佳,很難製作出高效率的均 溫板元件。 The capillary structure of the conventional vapor chamber, depending on the thickness of the element and the heat removal power, has four types: Groove, Fiber, Mesh and Sintered Powder. Powder (Sintered Powder) has the best capillary force and is not affected by gravity. However, in the production of Vapor Chamber, due to the small thickness of the components and the depth of the groove, it is difficult to fabricate the capillary structure sintered with copper powder, and the laying of copper mesh (Mesh) has become the mainstream. However, to lay a copper mesh (Mesh) in an ultra-thin temperature chamber with a thickness of less than 0.3mm, the process is quite cumbersome and difficult, and it is not easy to automate mass production, and the capillary force of the copper mesh is also poor, making it difficult to produce high efficiency average Thermoplate element.
因此,如何簡化繁瑣之過程,使超薄均溫板毛細結構之製作的過程能夠符合大量生產及自動化作業,是本領域技術人員極力嘗試解決之問題。 Therefore, how to simplify the tedious process so that the process of making the capillary structure of the ultra-thin vapor chamber can meet the mass production and automatic operation is a problem that those skilled in the art try to solve.
本案發明人構思一種以印刷漿料之毛細結構製作方式。漿料中的金屬顆粒外圍包覆著聚合物。當聚合物被加熱裂解,及金屬顆粒經高溫燒結之後,金屬顆粒之間彼此黏結而形成一多孔隙毛細結構。此方式可以有效率的量產厚度極薄的均溫板毛細結構,且在條件得宜下有較習知銅網毛細結構更佳的毛細吸水力,進而提升超薄均溫板元件的導熱及均熱效率。然而,漿料本身含有易揮發之化學溶劑且具流變性,在長時間置放時,由於溶劑的揮發而造成漿料黏度的改變,進而改變漿料的流變性。並且,漿料內含金屬粉末,因此也會產生變質及沈澱。因此在使用漿料來製作均溫板元件的毛細結構時,對於漿料的黏度及流變性的變異控制將成為製作均溫板元件高品質毛細結構的一個變數。 The inventors of the present application conceived a method of manufacturing the capillary structure of the printing paste. The metal particles in the slurry are surrounded by a polymer. When the polymer is thermally cracked and the metal particles are sintered at high temperature, the metal particles are bonded to each other to form a porous capillary structure. This method can efficiently mass-produce the capillary structure of the vapor chamber with extremely thin thickness, and under suitable conditions, it has better capillary water absorption than the conventional copper mesh capillary structure, thereby improving the thermal conductivity and uniformity of the ultra-thin vapor chamber element. Thermal efficiency. However, the slurry itself contains volatile chemical solvents and has rheological properties. When placed for a long time, the viscosity of the slurry will change due to the volatilization of the solvent, thereby changing the rheological properties of the slurry. Moreover, since the metal powder is contained in the slurry, deterioration and precipitation also occur. Therefore, when using the slurry to make the capillary structure of the vapor chamber element, the variation control of the viscosity and rheology of the slurry will become a variable in the production of the high quality capillary structure of the vapor chamber element.
有鑑於此,本發明進一步提供一種具有固化複合材料結構之片狀金屬元件及其製作方法。讓均溫板金屬片材的供應商或金屬片材蝕刻溝槽加工或沖壓溝槽加工的供應商,能夠將毛細結構的半成品直接預鑄在金屬片材的溝槽內,供應給均溫板元件的生產廠,讓製作均溫板元件的廠家能夠很容易的再加工,經加熱裂解及燒結製程而形成毛細結構,省去使用具流變性漿料印刷的各種麻煩與變數。本發明在金屬片材的溝槽結構中形成一固化的複合材料結構,使聚合物散佈於金屬顆粒之間,而形成之固 化複合材料結構。固化複合材料結構中之聚合物具一定黏滯性,分散的金屬顆粒被聚合物包覆。並且,整體結構附著於片狀金屬元件,使其固定不流動,方便運輸與保存,而成為製作均溫板元件及其毛細結構的一個預鑄材料片材。 In view of this, the present invention further provides a sheet metal element with a cured composite material structure and a manufacturing method thereof.

其中,因聚合物125具有黏附性質,藉由加入聚合物125可穩定金屬顆粒121之相對位置。此外,聚合物125填充了金屬粉末之金屬顆粒121之間的縫隙,環繞、包覆並保護金屬顆粒,使金屬顆粒121不容易被氧化及變質。含聚合物125及金屬粉末之漿料,經烘乾後形成的固化複合材料結構12,其可藉由聚合物125附著於片狀金屬基板10,避免流動、滑動、溢漏。固化後的聚合物並沒有固定的形狀,可能是網狀、塊狀或條狀,而像是填補金屬顆粒121之間的空隙。而聚合物之間也可能有間隙127。

Further, the
進一步說明前述之固化複合材料結構12。請參閱圖2,圖2係繪示根據本發明之另一具體實施例之具有固化複合材料結構之片狀金屬元件1之剖面圖。如圖2所示,固化複合材料結構12除了包含前述之金屬粉末,包含金屬顆粒121,還進一步包含有金屬氧化物粉末,金屬氧化物粉末包含複數個金屬氧化物顆粒123。固化複合材料結構12係從漿料經一烘乾步驟形成,漿料含有金屬顆粒121、金屬氧化物顆粒123、聚合物125和有機溶劑。有機溶劑能夠增加漿料之流動性以容易地佈置於片狀金屬基板10之第一表面102,而後進行加溫烘烤時,再去除溶劑以形成固化複合材料結構12。聚合物125的一項好處是,加熱後聚合物會125被裂解去除,於金屬顆粒121及金屬氧化物顆粒123彼此之間形成間隙。當具有固化複合材料結構之片狀金屬元件被進一步加工時,固化複合材料結構12中的聚合物125被加熱而裂解並去除,將僅留下金屬顆粒121和金屬氧化物顆粒123彼此之間的空隙。

As shown in FIG. 4 , the method for fabricating a sheet metal element with a cured composite material structure in this embodiment includes the following steps: Step S1 : providing a sheet metal substrate with a groove structure; Step S2 : providing slurry, the slurry The material is mixed with a plurality of metal particles, a plurality of metal oxide particles, a polymer and an organic solvent; step S3: laying the slurry in the groove structure; step S4: heating and baking the slurry to volatilize the organic solvent, And the metal particles, metal oxide particles and polymers are cured to form a cured composite structure and attached to the groove structure of the sheet metal substrate, so as to facilitate subsequent preservation or production operations. The metal particles may include at least one of copper (Cu) particles and copper alloy (Cu alloy) particles, and the metal oxide particles may be copper oxide (CuO) particles or/and cuprous oxide (Cu 2 O) particles. The organic solvent may be an alcohol solvent.
於一具體實施例中,步驟S4烘乾步驟是在一烘乾環境下進行10~60分鐘,且溫度介於攝氏90~110度之間。 In a specific embodiment, the drying step of step S4 is performed in a drying environment for 10-60 minutes, and the temperature is between 90-110 degrees Celsius.
步驟S4:加溫烘烤時,漿料中的有機溶劑揮發,形成一固化複合材料結構。請再次參考圖3,在本發明之步驟S4之後,本發明之固化複合材料結構可進一步地持續加溫。加溫過程中,固化複合材料結構中之聚合物被裂解並去除。再進一步在含氫的氣氛中加熱,銅氧化物顆粒還原並擴散成一鏈狀銅構件,銅顆粒或銅合金顆粒形成類球狀銅構件。鏈狀銅構件與類球狀銅構件互相燒結而形成多孔隙結構之毛細結構。類球狀銅構件尺寸普遍大於鏈狀銅構件直徑,形成穿插分佈於鏈狀銅構件之間的類球狀銅構件,將可以有效提升多孔隙金屬毛細結構之毛細力。 Step S4: During heating and baking, the organic solvent in the slurry is volatilized to form a cured composite material structure. Please refer to FIG. 3 again, after step S4 of the present invention, the cured composite material structure of the present invention can be further heated continuously. During the heating process, the polymer in the cured composite structure is cleaved and removed. After further heating in a hydrogen-containing atmosphere, the copper oxide particles are reduced and diffused into a chain-like copper member, and the copper particles or copper alloy particles form a spherical-like copper member. The chain-shaped copper members and the spherical-like copper members are mutually sintered to form a capillary structure with a porous structure. The size of the spherical copper components is generally larger than the diameter of the chain copper components, and the formation of spherical copper components interspersed and distributed between the chain copper components will effectively improve the capillary force of the porous metal capillary structure.
