  • gold contacts are subsequently formed, thereby to enable connection to other electrical circuits.
  • a disadvantage of this arrangement is that beryllia is a hazardous material; in fact it is carcinogenic, and is generally difficult to process.
  • the dielectric tends to be thick thereby making the overall structure bulky. Furthermore, partly because of the use of gold as a contact material, the overall structure is expensive to manufacture.
  • a plate of anisotropic carbon for example pyrolitic graphite or thermalised pyrolitic graphite is encapsulated in an encapsulating material such as polyimide or epoxy resin or acrylic or polyurethane or polyester or any other suitable polymer.
  • the encapsulating material is applied directly to the anisotropic carbon and improves the rigidity of the carbon.
  • the resulting device has an in-plane thermal conductivity of typically l,700W/mK at room temperature whilst it can provide a flatness at typically plus or minus 5 ⁇ m across a plate that is 100mm by 100mm.
  • the device can provide a board having a tensile strength that is significantly higher than that of the original, unencapsulated, carbon plate with a negligible increase in volume and loss of thermal conductivity.
  • New and future generations of semi-conductors provide a major challenge for thermal management through having localised areas with excessive power density (hot-spots) where transient temperatures far exceed those safely accessible to conventional packaging techniques. For example increasing power densities and operation frequencies can arise from specific areas of high performance switching inside a given chip that effectively acts as point-like heat sources. As a result yet further improved thermal management devices are required.

  • the thermal management device comprises a plate of anisotropic carbon encapsulated in a suitable polymer in which the cavity is formed by cutting complementary grooves into mirror image half-plate devices which are then bonded together to mate the grooves.
  • the cavity is drilled through the thermal management device.
  • the cavity can intrinsically form a heat-pipe or cooling tube or a pre-fabricated heat-pipe or cooling tube can be inserted into the cavity.
  • the essentially passive planar structure provided by a thermal management device of the type described has enhanced internal heat transfer properties provided by active mono-phase (in the case of cooling fluid in a cooling tube) or bi-phase (in the case of a heat-pipe) systems.
  • Customised designs can be provided benefiting from the extremely high diffusivity of the thermal management device minimising temperature gradients within the structure combined with the directional heat flow of the localised enhanced heat transfer region.
  • a plate of thermalised pyrolitic graphite with mosaic or full ordering is coated with polyimide applied directly to the carbon surface for example using a brush. If necessary the coating is cured. Where required holes for electrical contact are formed for example by drilling prior to the coating step, encapsulating the drilled plate and then re-drilling the holes to a smaller diameter such that the carbon remains encapsulated.
  • the device can be applied to a substrate or used itself as a substrate for example for thin film circuits which can be deposited in any appropriate manner. Both sides of the device can be used and the device can form a base or substrate for a multi-layer circuit.
  • the thermal management device is thus constructed by direct molecular-level encapsulation of the carbon plate allowing interfacing with other heat transfer materials through micron-level fusing and providing an electronic hybrid technology allowing both single and double-side connectivity.
  • the intrinsic thermal performance of the internal carbon substrate is preserved and thermal transfer characteristics expressed in the relevant parameter k/p (Thermal conductivity/density) are improved with respect to copper by a factor of between 18 to 20 and aluminia by nearly 90. At sub-zero temperatures the improvement factors can be dramatically increased further.
  • the encapsulation layers are typically 20 microns and so for substrates of a thickness of a few hundred microns larger this represents a negligible increase in total volume and hence a negligible decrease in thermal conductivity preserving the fundamental thermal properties of the carbon plate whilst enhancing the mechanical properties such as sheer strength and surface integrity.
  • the device provides robust structures with mechanical stability whilst maintaining low density and high in-plane thermal conductivity and a range of direct electrical processing to provide a new sector of high thermal conductivity hybrids.
  • Thermal management structures of the type described above form the basis of the cellular thermal management structures in the present embodiment as shown in more detail in the accompanying drawings which illustrate various approaches to fabricating a thermal management device with enhanced heat transfer properties.
  • a thermal management device designated generally 10 includes an anisotropic graphite plate 12 and a polyimide encapsulating coat 14. Prior to coating the plate 12 a cavity in the form of a channel or groove 16 is cut or otherwise formed in the plate 12 extending across the length of the surface. Referring to Fig. 2 a corresponding groove is cut into a second plate 20 and the plates are attached together to form a cavity 22.
  • the groove 16 can be cut, etched or otherwise formed into the plate 12 and the coating 14 applied as described above.
  • the groove 16 can be of any profile for example semi-circular in cross section (so as to provide a circular cavity 20 as shown in Fig. 2 when the two plates are mated) or a more complex cross section.

  • the localised enhanced heat transfer region can be formed from the cavity in various manners.
  • the channel 22 in Fig. 2 forms a conduit for direct flow mono-phase heat transfer fluid hence forming a cooling tube.
  • the channel 22 can form a bi-phase heat-pipe of the type described in more detail below which is made "self-wicking" in an appropriate known manner for example by forming an appropriate profile on the inner surface of the channel 22 in the form of narrow axially extending fins providing the required capillary action. If such an in-situ heat-pipe is formed it is filled with a given mass of an appropriate fluid by evaporation under vacuum and then the cavity is sealed, again as will apparent to the skilled reader.
  • the cavity 22 non-porous and so an additional coating step is introduced, for example using continuous vapour deposition, to provide a layer of vitreous carbon providing the required non- porosity or providing any other appropriate non-porous coating.
  • an additional coating step is introduced, for example using continuous vapour deposition, to provide a layer of vitreous carbon providing the required non- porosity or providing any other appropriate non-porous coating.
  • the remainder of the plate 12 can alternatively be coated prior to the cutting step in this case and that an additional coating to the non-porous coating is not required in order to encapsulate the cavity.
  • the non-porous coating can be used to encapsulate the entire device in a single coating step.
  • the process of epoxy-fusing the half-plates 10 and 20 it is desirable to fill the cavity between the plates with metal to avoid entry of epoxy.
  • the metal can be removed by etching to provide an enclosed cavity that can if necessary also be cleaned by chemical action avoiding degradation from ingress of epoxy.
  • the heat pipe or cooling tube can be located prior to fusing the half plates to provide a barrier to epoxy ingress. This approach is particularly advantageous for cavities having a tortuous configuration in which it could be difficult to insert the pipe/tube after bonding the half-plates.
  • An alternative manner of forming the localised enhanced heat transfer region is shown in Fig.
  • a pre-fabricated heat-pipe 24 of an appropriate profile to match the cavity 22 is inserted into the cavity and epoxy-fused or bonded in any other appropriate manner.
  • the heat-pipe 24 can be inserted to one of the half plates 10 prior to mating with the other half plate 20, or can be inserted into the cavity formed when the two half plates 10 and 20 have already been mated and epoxy-fused.
  • the former approach has the advantage that the heat- pipe prevents the ingress of epoxy during the epoxy-fusing step mating the two half plates together.
  • a cooling tube allowing fluid-flow cooling can be inserted in a similar manner.
  • the encapsulating coat can be applied before or after the cutting step, and the cavity does not require additional coating, as it is effectively encapsulated by the wall of the pipe or tube and epoxy fixing.
  • Fig. 4 it will be seen that in one embodiment the heat-pipe or cooling tube 24 extends beyond the perimeter of the device. Of course just one or neither end may extend beyond the device in an alternative configuration. In a further alternative configuration the heat-pipe or cooling tube 24 is entirely enclosed in the cavity in a manner allowing an appropriate level of heat transfer.
  • FIG. 5 More complex cavity configurations and multiple cavities are shown in Fig. 5 and it will be seen that complex shapes can be adopted.
  • the cavities thus formed can extend the full length of the surface between any two faces or the same face, or can be contained within the surface either at one or both ends.
  • branched cavities and more complex configurations still can be incorporated.
  • the cavities can either act intrinsically as cooling tubes or self-wicking heat-pipes or pre-fabricated cooling tubes or heat-pipes of appropriate configuration can be inserted, and the fabrication method is selected dependent on the configuration.
  • a heat-pipe comprises a hollow cylinder closed at both ends and with a porous wall providing capillary action forming a "wick".
  • a heat transfer fluid such as methanol is absorbed by the wick.
  • vapour condenses once again at a cooler region and gives up the latent heat of vaporisation hence transferring the heat from the hotter to the cooler region.
  • "self-wicking" is provided in which a grooved tube having axial grooves provides the capillary action required to transfer the fluid back from the cooler region to the hotter region.
  • Heat-pipes are found to provide significantly higher heat transfer properties than equivalent metallic conductors such as a block of copper.
  • the cooling tube discussed above effectively provides a conduit for heat transfer fluid and can form part of a conventional cooling loop.
  • FIG. 6 A second approach to fabricating a thermal management device with enhanced heat transfer characteristics is shown in Fig. 6 in which a hole 28 is drilled in the plate 10.
  • the hole may be formed prior to the coating step and coated with the remainder of the device or subsequently and independently coated.
  • the cavity 28 can form a cooling tube or self-wicking heat-pipe in the manner described above, again with a suitable non-porous coating if required.
  • the hole may as appropriate be mechanically or laser drilled or alternatively be moulded or otherwise formed and it is found that a self-wicking profile is advantageously obtained using laser cutting. It will be appreciated that more complex configurations may be better accommodated by the approach described with reference to Figs. 1 to 5.
