Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods of forming metal matrix composites for thermal or structural applications, and the resulting compositions. More specifically, the invention relates to methods of infiltration casting to form metal matrix composites with controlled thermal expansion and mechanical properties, and the resulting compositions.
  • a semiconductor die typically a portion of a silicon wafer, can be directly attached to a heat sink. More commonly, the die is encased in a ceramic package that protects the die and provides electrical connections.
  • Common ceramic package materials include aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride and beryllium oxide.
  • the coefficient of thermal expansion of the semiconductor die and the ceramic package are purposely matched to avoid thermal cycle induced mechanical stress failures . Thermal cycling arises during power up and power down cycles in combination with resistive heating due to current flow in the device.
  • Heat sinks are commonly fabricated from metals, for example copper, molybdenum, tungsten and aluminum.
  • a metal heat sink is often plated with nickel prior to attachment to a ceramic package at an elevated temperature, for example, via brazing.
  • silver-filled adhesives or other conductive metal powder-filled adhesives, can be used for bonding.
  • a metal or other material for a heat sink often involves a trade-off between desirable and undesirable properties.
  • aluminum and copper have high thermal conductivity, but coefficients of thermal expansion several times greater than that of a ceramic package or semiconductor die.
  • resistive heating causes the temperature of the integrated circuit, and the attached heat sink, to fluctuate. Consequently, such metals apply mechanical stress to the heat sink bonding material during power cycling.
  • the differential expansion of the heat sink relative to the ceramic package or semiconductor die can cause failure of the bond material or cracking of the package or die.
  • some metals, such as tungsten and molybdenum have relatively small coefficients of thermal expansion. Although such metals can permit a reliable bond, they have lower thermal conductivity than aluminum or copper substrates and they are difficult to electroplate. Further, tungsten and molybdenum are undesirable for applications that require minimal weight.
  • Composites of copper and tungsten, or of copper and molybdenum can partially mitigate these deficiencies. These composites can be made by powder metallurgical methods, such as infiltrating copper into a sintered body of tungsten or molybdenum, or sintering a mixed powder of the two metals . It is difficult, however, to obtain an elongated plate by rolling a sintered ingot of tungsten or molybdenum. Alternatively, layers of metal can be joined by cladding or lamination of sheets. Cladded and laminated products require precise machining, which is difficult and increases costs.
  • some heat sinks combine a sintered ceramic with a metal matrix.
  • the fabrication process involves the formation of a ceramic preform, for example, by sintering silicon carbide powder.
  • the ceramic preform microstructure typically has a predetermined void volume fraction that is subsequently filled with molten metal, typically aluminum.
  • An aluminum ceramic heat sink can employ copper-based inserts to improve its thermal conductivity.
  • Such heat sinks can be difficult to machine and are usually limited in their ability to match coefficients of thermal expansion with integrated circuits.
  • a metal matrix composite can include an inorganic fiber material.
  • Infiltration of fibers has its own difficulties, for example, problems with fiber wetting and non-uniform fiber distribution.
  • molten metal infiltration of fibers under pressure can displace the fibers due to the fiber breakthrough pressure threshold.
  • a metal matrix composite C that includes random in-plane discontinuous carbon fibers and a method of forming an MMC from a pressure-formed preform
  • the invention can overcome numerous problems, such as: fiber collapse during molten metal infiltration; coefficient of thermal expansion ("CTE") mismatch; heat sink weight; limits on range of CTE values; difficulty in obtaining high fiber density; limits in control of fiber orientation; machinability of a heat sink; and/or heat sink cost.
  • CTE coefficient of thermal expansion
  • the invention addresses these problems through the use of one or all of the following: preforms prepared with pressures greater than the breakthrough pressure used during metal infiltration; in-plane oriented fibers; short fibers; and carbon fibers.
  • in-plane discontinuous fibers permits a high fiber volume fraction in the MMC ("in-plane" as used herein is understood as the X-Y plane, for example, the plane parallel to the bonded surface of a heat sink) . Further, by using in-plane oriented fibers, substantially all of the fibers can contribute to the control of the CTE in the X-Y plane. Though Z-direction CTE is not controlled by in-plane fibers, such control is generally unnecessary for heat sink applications because the integrated circuit or other object is attached to an X-Y oriented surface of the heat sink.
  • in-plane oriented fibers permits selection of a CTE over a wide range of values.
  • a desired volume fraction of in-plane oriented fibers is selected to obtain a desired CTE.
  • By orienting substantially all fibers in the X-Y plane a very high fiber volume fraction can be obtained. This permits selection of volume fraction over a wide range and a corresponding ability to select a wide range of CTE values.
  • Carbon fibers, in particular graphite fibers have excellent mechanical and thermal properties for use in heat sinks of the invention. In combination with an aluminum or other light metal, such heat sinks typically are easily machined, have excellent heat conductivity, and are lightweight.
  • An aluminum and graphite fiber MMC of the invention thus realizes the advantages of aluminum - lightweight, easy machinability and good heat conduction - in combination with the advantages of graphite fibers - high Young's Modulus, small to negative CTE, high tensile strength, high thermal conductivity and strong damping properties.
  • a preform that includes fibers and a binder can be prepared via application of a pressure in a preform mold that is greater than the molten alloy breakthrough pressure for the preform.
  • the binder maintains the compressed configuration of the fibers in the preform while the preform is removed from the preform mold and placed in a metal infiltration mold.
  • the metal infiltration mold can maintain the compressed fiber configuration upon removal of the binder, if the infiltration mold is sized and shaped to conform to the preform. Because the fiber configuration remains in its compressed state, it is substantially undisturbed during infiltration of molten metal at the molten metal breakthrough pressure.

  • the bound preform typically is placed in a mold, heated under a vacuum to remove the binder, then heated to above the metal liquidus and infiltrated with a molten infiltrant. The molten infiltrant is then cooled to form the metal matrix composite.
  • the method includes placement of a second bound preform adjacent to the bound preform in the mold prior to infiltration with the molten infiltrant.
  • a surface of the bound preform contacts a surface of the second bound preform, and removal of the binder prior to infiltration causes the contacted surfaces of the two preforms to merge, creating one continuous, metal matrix composite.

  • the fibers graphite and have an average length of approximately 0.2 mm (200 ⁇ m) and a diameter of approximately 10 ⁇ m.
  • Theoretical considerations can assist in the selection of a fiber volume fraction that will provide a desired in-plane CTE.
  • a uniaxial laminate-based theory see, e.g., R.S. Schapery, "Thermal Expansion Coefficients of Composite Materials Based on Energy Principles," J. Composite Materials, Vol. 2, pages 380-404, (1968) approximates the CTE of a composite material as :
  • ⁇ xl is the CTE of the composite in the orthogonal direction (parallel to the 0° fibers in an uniaxial laminate, units of ppm/°K)

  • E f is the Young' s modulus of elasticity for graphite fiber (units of GPa) .

  • Such a model should be considered a lower bound approximation for orthogonally oriented fiber reinforced metals.
  • the CTE in the 0° or X direction should equal the CTE in the 90° or Y direction.
  • the in-plane CTE is 8 ppm/°K in all in-plane directions, one can simply say that the in-plane CTE is 8 ppm/°K.
  • Fibers in an MMC can be orthogonally oriented by weaving or by stacking alternating plies of uniaxially wrapped fibers to form a laminate of orthogonally oriented layers.
  • substantially uniform in-plane orthogonal properties are obtained by use of in-plane randomly oriented discontinuous fibers.

  • Other useful fibers in the ThermalGraph® family include those sold under the developmental names DKA X and DKD X. Similar fibers are available from other suppliers, such as Conoco Carbon Fibers (Houston, Texas) .
  • Theoretical curves can be used to assist control of the CTE of a reinforced metal alloy by selecting an appropriate fiber volume fraction. For example, referring to Figure 1, a CTE in a range of 4 to 12 ppm/°K would require a corresponding fiber volume fraction between approximately 0.40 and 0.18. Similarly, a P-120 reinforced copper alloy MMC would require selection of fiber volume fraction between 0.4 and 0.14 to obtain CTE values in the same range .
  • MMC components can be prepared with a wide range of CTE values.
  • a CTE can be zero or negative in value, or can be 12 ppm/°K or greater in value.
  • the ability to densely pack fibers permits fiber volume fractions to be chosen, preferably, from within a range of approximately 0.15 to 0.60. For some applications, fiber volume fraction may lie outside this range.
  • fiber volume fraction may lie outside this range.
  • a wide range of useful properties may be obtained with a fiber volume fraction in a range at least as broad as approximately 0.15 to approximately 0.55. For example, a fiber volume fraction of 0.30 provides a CTE of approximately 8.0 ppm/°K, while a fiber volume fraction of 0.40 provides a CTE of 4.0 ppm/°K.
  • Deviation of a portion of the fibers in an MMC from in- plane orientation reduces the observed CTE from that predicted by theory. Deviations from in-plane randomness in experimental samples cause the in-plane CTE of a reinforced metal alloy to be greater than that predicted theoretically. Accordingly, empirical calibration curves can be constructed that are based on experimental data. Consequently, the CTE versus volume fraction curves are more accurate for manufacturing purposes than curves obtainable from theoretical relationships such as given in Equation 1.
  • the graph in Figure 1 shows two CTE volume fraction curves for aluminum matrix and copper matrix MMC samples prepared with P-120 graphite fiber preforms.
  • the aluminum MMC curve was obtained from CTE measurements obtained during cooling of samples from 400°C to 50°C (800°C to 50°C for the copper matrix samples) .
  • P-120 reinforced aluminum samples were prepared having fiber volume fractions in a range of 0.2 to 0.4.
  • the CTE of the resulting samples varied between 13 and 4 ppm/°K.
  • the degree of deviation from theory is at least in part due to a population of fibers with some out of plane orientation. To the extent that a fiber is oriented out of plane, the elastic restraint of the fiber on the in-plane CTE of the matrix is reduced.
  • microstructure of a sample aluminum alloy MMC with 0.30 volume fraction of P-120 fibers is shown in the scanning electron micrographs of Figures 2a and 2b.
  • the sample was prepared by blending 743 grams of DKDX fibers and 119 grams of Carbowax® polyethelyne glycol 8000 from Union Carbide Chemical and Plastics Co. (Danbury, CT) as a binder.
  • the blend was loaded into a 190.5 mm X 190.5 mm press die mold and pressed to a thickness of 31.7 mm. Subsequent to heating to a temperature in a range of 80°-100°C to liquefy the binder, cooling to 10 °C solidified the binder to produce a stable, bound preform. The bound preform was infiltrated with aluminum alloy containing 12.5% silicon and 0.4% magnesium. To obtain these micrographs, polished sections were taken from the sample MMC along the X-Y plane and along the X-Z plane. The X-Y section of Figure 2a shows a substantial number of fibers laying parallel to the X-Y plane.
  • Properties of an MMC are affected by both the volume fraction and the orientation of the fibers .
  • preferred embodiments use a fibrous preform that does not "swim" or become disturbed during the inrush of molten metal .
  • These embodiments include a preform that is stable and that does not lose its shape or fiber distribution during the infiltration process .
  • a stable preform is obtained by densely packing a preform mold. After removing the packed and bound preform from the preform mold, the preform is typically placed into a metal infiltration mold, in preferred embodiments, a steel can. Preferably, the preform completely fills the metal infiltration mold or the mold cavity of the metal infiltration mold.
  • the binder When the preform is heated, the binder may begin to release the fibers . The fibers can then relax and press against the metal infiltration mold. Some binders evaporate during heating. After the binder is removed, e.g., with the assistance of an applied vacuum, and the preform has reached a molten metal infiltration temperature, molten metal infiltration can take place .
  • woven fibers in the form of a fabric cloth are cut and loaded directly into a metal infiltration mold for subsequent pressure infiltration. Since a fabric has a discrete thickness, controlling the thickness of an MMC component formed from fabric is difficult. For volume fractions above the natural woven volume fraction of a fabric, the fabric is compressed and clamped into a mold, increasing tooling costs. Moreover, it is typically difficult to pack woven fabrics to a fiber volume fraction greater than approximately 0.45. Conversely, loading molds with fabric to a fiber volume fraction less than 0.40 can lead to non-uniform distribution of the fiber plies. Even when preform cloth plies have been well compressed into a mold, non-uniform ply loading can result in warping after removal from the mold.

  • a continuous fiber preform may be fabricated by drum winding continuous fibers, and fixing the wound fibers onto a transfer sheet by applying a fugitive binder.
  • plies can be stacked with orthogonal orientations, or more mixed orientations, for example, including plies oriented at 45° to other plies.

  • the preform is typically prepared by compressing fibers and a binder in a preform mold.
  • the fibers are discontinuous.
  • the fibers and binder usually are mixed, then compressed at a pressure that is greater than the molten alloy breakthrough pressure for the finished preform.
  • the binder Prior to metal infiltration, the binder maintains the compressed configuration of the fibers in the preform so the preform can be removed from the preform mold and placed in a metal infiltration mold.
  • a bound preform may be stored for some time prior to metal infiltration. Preferably, the bound preforms are stored below room temperature .
  • the binder is often removed from the preform while the preform resides in the metal infiltration mold. Under the constraints of the metal infiltration mold, the preform can maintain its compressed fiber configuration. Molten metal is then infiltrated into the preform. Because the fiber configuration remains in its compressed state, it is substantially undisturbed during infiltration of molten metal at the molten metal breakthrough pressure, and proper in-plane orientation of the fibers is maintained.
