- the described embodiments provide an extended heat transfer surface for IC chip heat removal, such as by using an array of fin-shaped heat dissipation plates.
- the extended heat transfer surface is prepared separately and then attached onto the chip surface using a compliant adhesion layer made of an epoxy or a solder. Note that this process does not require etching channels into a chip substrate.
- the extended heat transfer surface is used in combination with a direct liquid cooling technique, wherein coolant is brought in contact with the silicon device, the extended heat transfer surface facilitates achieving much higher device power and/or lower operating temperature.
- some embodiments assemble a discrete cooling structure, such as a set of cooling fins, onto the chip surface.
- a discrete cooling structure such as a set of cooling fins
- a high thermal conductivity epoxy layer or solder layer coated over the chip surface provides a compliant interface between the cooling fins (or other discrete cooling structure) and the silicon device surface. Note that when a monolithic heat sink is attached to a chip surface, a minimum solder thickness, typically in the hundreds of microns, is often needed to accommodate the thermal mismatch between the rigid heat sink structure and the silicon chip, thereby significantly increasing thermal resistance in the heat dissipation path.
- the discrete heat dissipation structure can have much higher compliance than a monolithic heat dissipation structure, which enables a much thinner solder layer to be used as the interface/adhesion layer.
- the discrete heat dissipation structure can include a large number of cooling fins wherein the fin pitch and fin height can be varied to vary the overall heat transfer surface of the discrete heat dissipation structure. In some embodiments, the fin pitch and fin height can be varied locally based on the distribution of the thermal hotspots over the chip surface.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a side view of a chip package 100 in accordance with the described embodiments.
- chip package 100 includes a substrate 102 which serves as the base of chip package 100.
- IC die 104 is affixed on top of substrate 102 through an interface comprising a group of solder bumps 106. These solder bumps create a space between substrate 102 and IC die 104 and provide electrical and mechanical contact between the two parts.
- IC die 104 is typically a semiconductor die, in other embodiments a different material than a semiconductor may be used as the substrate material for IC die 104. However, in embodiments in which silicon is used, IC die 104 may be fabricated using standard silicon processing. In some embodiments, IC die 104 provides silicon area that supports logic and/or memory functionality.
- adhesion layer 108 On top of IC die 104 is a thin adhesion layer 108 which is used to attach a heat sink structure onto IC die 104.
- adhesion layer 108 can be made of an epoxy material or a solder. In other embodiments, adhesion layer 108 can also be made of other metallic or ceramic materials. When choosing a proper material for adhesion layer 108, both high thermal conductivity and high compliance are preferred. Note that a solder typically has higher thermal conductivity than an epoxy.
- solder such as a low melting temperature solder
- adhesion layer 108 it may require a much thicker solder layer than an epoxy layer to achieve the same degree of compliance to match the difference in thermal expansions between the silicon chip and a monolithic heat sink structure. Due to its high thermal conductivity, a solder layer quite thick without significantly increasing the thermal resistance. A very thick solder layer can also have an undesirably high thermal resistance.
- a solder layer 108 typically requires the surface of IC die 104 to be pre-coated with a wettable metal such as gold.
- Chip package 100 also includes a heat sink structure 110 which comprises an array of discrete heat dissipation fins 112 attached to adhesion layer 108.
- These heat dissipation plates can be made of a highly conductive material, such as copper.
- each of heat dissipation plates 112 is a plate-shaped foil which has a dimension perpendicular to the page (referred to as the "span" direction) that is significantly smaller than the other two dimensions (i.e., length and height directions) visible in FIG. 1.
- the pitch between plates is a fraction of a millimeter.
- the array of heat dissipation plates collectively forms an extended heat dissipation surface, wherein the total area of the extended heat dissipation surface can be varied by controlling the plate pitch, the plate height, and the total number of plates in heat sink structure 110.
- each plate may be attached to the adhesion layer 108 individually.
- the array of heat dissipation plates 112 is loosely connected in one direction (either length- wise or span- wise) to form interlinked rows or columns of plates.
- each interlinked row or column of plates may be attached to adhesion layer 108 individually.
- the links between plates are closer to the top end of the plates 112 and further away from the chip surface.
- the array of heat dissipation plates 112 is connected in both directions (length-wise and span-wise) to form a monolithic structure.
- solder is used as adhesion layer 108 between the silicon chip and a monolithic heat sink structure
- a thick solder layer of up to a few hundred microns is often needed to accommodate stress caused by thermal mismatch between the monolithic heat sink structure and the silicon chip.
- heat dissipation structure 1 10 has significantly higher compliance. This enables a much thinner solder layer to be used as adhesion layer 108 to match the significantly reduced thermal expansion difference between the silicon-based IC die 104 and heat dissipation structure 110. As a result, the thermal resistance in the thermal path of chip package 100 is also reduced.
- package lid 114 which can both protect the chip assembly and spread heat dissipated by heat dissipation structure 110.
- package lid 114 is affixed onto substrate 102 by using edge seal 116.
- package lid 114 has openings to allow a coolant to flow into and out of the space underneath package lid 114. More specifically, package lid 114 may include a coolant inlet 118 and a coolant outlet 120, both of which are configured as vertical nozzles going through package lid 114. In some embodiments, there can be an array of coolant inlets and an array of coolant outlets in package lid 1 14. Note that when coolant flows over the chip die, the fluid will travel between the gaps created by the array of heat dissipation plates 112. While not shown, a manifold can also be added in chip package 100 for guiding the coolant toward and away from the plates 112.
- heat dissipation structure 110 is described in the context of chip package 100 as illustrated in FIG. 1, the proposed heat dissipation structure can operate when integrated with other types of chip packages. Hence, the application of the proposed heat dissipation structure is not limited to the specific implementation of chip package 100 as illustrated in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 2A illustrates the top view of a heat dissipation structure 202 (partially shown) in accordance with the described embodiments.
- heat dissipation structure 202 comprises an array of isolated plates arranged in a uniform pattern and attached to a silicon chip 200. More specifically, heat dissipation structure 202 comprises a two- dimensional (2D) array of isolated plates arranged in in-lined rows and columns. Note that each plate in heat dissipation structure 202, such as plate 204, is completely separated from other plates. In some embodiments, each plate in structure 202 has a fin-shaped geometry.
- plate 204 can have a length (in the x-direction) in a range of 1 millimeter to a few millimeters; a width (in the y-direction, also referred to as the span-direction above) of a fraction of a millimeter; and a height (in the z-direction) between 0 and 10 millimeters.
- the length of the plate is greater than its height.
- plate 204 can be 2 mm in height and 5 mm in length.
- both the length and the height of a plate are greater than its width.
- each plate in heat dissipation structure 202 is significantly shorter in length than the dimensions of silicon chip 200 (e.g., a typical chip size of 1 inch x l inch) and has a very narrow width, heat dissipation structure 202 becomes highly compliant at each plate location to enable a thinner adhesive layer to be used between heat dissipation structure 202 and silicon chip 200.
- the fin- shaped geometry of each plate facilitates achieving more uniform thermal distribution over the plate surface.
- FIG. 2B illustrates the top view of a heat dissipation structure 212 (partially shown) in accordance with the described embodiments.
- heat dissipation structure 212 which is attached to a silicon chip 210, comprises an array of isolated fin-shaped plates arranged such that two adjacent rows or columns are offset by an equal amount from each other.
- the configuration of the array of heat dissipation plates in FIG. 2B is only an example to demonstrate that the plate array in the heat dissipation structure can be arranged in different patterns other than the in-line pattern as shown in FIG. 2A.
- the plate array can also be arranged in a non-uniform pattern.
- the plate array can be arranged to increase heat removal capacity in the vicinity of these hotspots (if the locations of the hotspots can be determined beforehand). For example, a finer plate pitch can be used around a predetermined hotspot location so that more plates can be assembled to achieve a greater combined heat dissipation surface around the predetermined hotspot location. Furthermore, at a known hotspot location, the plate size can be increased to increase the heat dissipation area, for example, by increasing plate height.
- FIG. 2C illustrates the top view of a heat dissipation structure 222 (partially shown) in accordance with the described embodiments.
- heat dissipation structure 222 comprises an array of elliptical fins arranged in a uniform 2D pattern and attached to a silicon chip 220.
- other embodiments may use a smaller fin pitch (e.g., in the Y-direction) or a larger fin height (in the Z-direction) around a predetermined hotspot location on silicon chip 220, so that more fins may be assembled around the
- FIGs. 2A-2C illustrate heat dissipation structures comprising rectangular and elliptical geometries
- a heat dissipation structure can comprise an array of heat dissipation elements made into other geometries, e.g., circles, ovals, or polygons.
- FIG. 3A illustrates a three-dimensional (3D) view of a heat dissipation structure 302 (partially shown) in accordance with the described embodiments.
- heat dissipation structure 302 comprises an array of isolated plates similar to the embodiment of FIG. 2A.
- heat dissipation structure 302 is attached to an adhesion layer 304 which is coated on top of a silicon chip 306.
- adhesion layer 304 is an epoxy layer whose thermal conductivity is between 5 watts/meter/°K and 20 watts/meter/°K.
- adhesion layer 304 is a solder layer whose thermal conductivity is between 50 watts/meter/°K and 80 watts/meter/°K. In some embodiments, adhesion layer 304 has a thermal conductivity which is at least 10 watts/meter/°K.
- each fin-shaped heat dissipating plate in heat dissipation structure 302 has a length (in the x-direction) greater than its height (in z- direction), while both length and height are significantly greater than its width (in the y-direction or the span-direction).
- the set of fins are discrete and are not mechanically coupled to one another except through the surface of adhesion layer 304 to which they are all attached.
- the combined fin-shaped geometry and mechanical isolation of the set of plates in heat dissipation structure 302 makes heat dissipation structure 302 highly compliant. As a result, the minimum required thickness of the adhesion layer 304 can be significantly reduced.
- adhesion layer 304 can have a thickness range from 10 ⁇ to 50 ⁇ . In one embodiment, adhesion layer 304 has a thickness around 25 ⁇ . Note that adhesion layer 304 can be made of epoxy or solder, or other adhesive materials with similar thermal conductivity. Note that adhesion layer 304 should have a low melting temperature, lower than the melting temperature(s) of the solder bumps or anything else in the package. A surface-mount package, such as a Ball Grid Array (BGA) would require the melting temperature of the adhesion layer 304 to be higher than that of the solder balls. In one embodiment, each fin-shaped plate in heat dissipation structure 302 is individually attached to adhesion layer 304 during the chip-package assembling process.
- BGA Ball Grid Array
- each plate, such as plate 308, in heat dissipation structure 302 has the two largest heat dissipation surfaces in the span-direction (y-direction), which is determined by its length and height.
- the heat dissipation surface area of plate 308 can be further increased by increasing the height of the plate.
- the overall heat dissipation surface area of heat dissipation structure 302 equals the heat dissipation surface area of each plate multiplied by the total number of plates in the array. Hence, a greater overall surface area can be achieved by increasing the plate density span-wise by decreasing the plate pinch.
- the gaps between plates become channels of coolant flow. Therefore, increasing the height of the plates can also increase the contact area between heat dissipation structure 302 and the coolant flow, thereby further improving the heat removal capability of the cooling mechanism.
- FIG. 3B illustrates a 3D view of a heat dissipation structure 312 (partially shown) in accordance with the described embodiments.
- heat dissipation structure 312 comprises a set of heat dissipation plates connected span- wise by a set of connecting beams, for example, beams 314-318.
- beam 314 is connected to the bottom corners of the plates near the chip surface while beams 316 and 318 are connected to the upper corners of the plates away from the chip surface.
- these connecting beams have negligible cross-section areas (in the span-direction) compared to the surface area of the heat dissipation plates in the same direction.
- FIG. 3B illustrates some connecting beams located near the chip surface, in some embodiments all the connecting beams which connect heat dissipation plates span- wise are located at the top of the plates away from the chip surface.
- FIG. 3C illustrates a 3D view of a heat dissipation structure 322 (partially shown) in accordance with the described embodiments.
- heat dissipation structure 322 comprises an array of heat dissipation plates connected length- wise by a set of connecting beams, for example, beams 324-328. Note that each of beams 324-328 is connected to the upper corners of a column of heat dissipation plates away from the chip surface.
- beams 324-328 have negligible cross-section areas in the length- direction compared to the surface area of the heat dissipation plates in the same direction.
- FIG. 3D illustrates a 3D view of a heat dissipation structure 332 (partially shown) in accordance with the described embodiments.
- heat dissipation structure 332 comprises an array of heat dissipation plates interconnected both length- wise and span-wise by connecting beams, for example, beams 334-338, thereby forming a monolithic heat dissipation structure.
- heat dissipation structure 332 can be attached to adhesion layer 340 without the need to individually add each plate to adhesion layer 340.
- the monolithic heat dissipation structure 332 can be more rigid and less compliant than heat dissipation structures 302, 312, and 322 illustrated in FIGs. 3A-3C, respectively, and therefore may require a thicker adhesion layer 340 to match the different thermal expansions between silicon chip 342 and the heat dissipation structure 332.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a cutaway view of an assembly fixture 400 for supporting a discrete heat dissipation structure in accordance with the described embodiments.
- assembly fixture 400 may be used to temporarily hold the array of plates by placing these plates within the cutouts in assembly fixture 400, which holds the plates in the right places and orientations.
- a chip package comprising a substrate and a chip die can be turned over and put on top of assembly fixture 400 containing the heat dissipation structure.
