Description

A HIGH THERMAL CONDUCTOR NANO HYBRID COMPOSITE MATERIAL FOR THERMAL INTERFACE APPLICATIONS AND A PRODUCTION METHOD THEREOF
Technical field of the invention
The invention relates to the thermal interface material produced to remove the heat from the system in electronic structures.
In particular, the invention relates to the production method of nano-hybrid composite material containing aluminium nitride and carbon nanotube as thermal interface material.
State of the Art
The heat generated when mechanical or electronic devices work affects the performance of the devices by affecting the working principles. Heat sink materials used to regulate the temperature of the device and to remove excess heat are passive heat exchangers that dissipate the heat generated by the device away from the device to another environment, usually.
Heat dissipation is important for long-term work and performance of electronic devices and circuits. In general, the temperature of the device or component depends on the component, the environment, the thermal resistance and the heat dissipated by the component. When designing electronic devices or circuits, an efficient heat transfer path is created from the device to the environment to prevent the component from overheating. This heat transfer path created varies according to the method of mounting the heat sink to a component, the material used between the surfaces in contact and thermal contact resistance. There will be a heat transfer across the interface from high temperature to low temperature between two objects in contact with each other. Micro/nano cracks and porosities on the contact surface increase thermal resistance and make heat transfer difficult. This temperature variation, known as thermal contact resistance, is reduced by using thermal interface materials. The thermal interface material, TIM, is any material placed between two components in order to increase thermal coupling between them. The TIM is placed between a heat generating device and a heat dissipating part. Thus, it transfers the heat it receives from the heat generating device to the heat dissipating part. For this reason, the materials used as TIM should have high thermal conductivity.
Various thermal interface materials are used in electronic systems today. Thermal pastes are TIM materials that are generally used in the electronics industry, providing only thermal resistance without mechanical strength. Unlike thermal pastes, thermal adhesives provide mechanical strength as well as thermal resistance due to the need for curing. The thermal gap filler is the cured form of thermal pastes, but this TIM has a variety of limited adhesive properties. Although thermal conductive pads, which are in solid and soft form, are easy to apply, they require higher force application to hold on between surfaces. Thermal tapes are an enhanced version of the adhesive properties of thermal conductive pads. Thermal tapes that do not require curing time can be applied more easily than thermal conductive tapes. Phase-change materials, on the other hand, have low melting temperatures. Thus, it can pass from the solid form to the liquid phase and fill the gaps at the interface. Metal thermal interface materials have significantly higher thermal conductivity as well as the lowest thermal interface resistance.

In the invention that is the subject of the application, a thermal interface material containing at least one phase change material, at least one polymer matrix material and a heat- conducting filler material with one large and one small particle size is mentioned.
The aim of the invention
The most important aim of the invention is to ensure that the material used as a thermal interface can be used throughout the life of the device. The nano-hybrid composite material developed within the scope of the invention provides thermal conductivity throughout the life of the device since it does not lose its thermal conductivity with its stable structure and its ability to fill micro cracks or porosities at the interface.
Another aim of the invention is to provide a superior heat conduction than the existing products used as thermal interface material in the market. Thus, the time required for cooling the device to which it is applied is shortened.
Another aim of the invention is to extend the life of the device to which it is applied, since it can cool the device to which it is applied in a short time and ensures the stability of the part without being affected by the heat on the device.
Another aim of the invention is to ensure that the carbon nanotubes are dispersed homogeneously without clumping. Another aim of the invention is to eliminate the inter-repellency of aluminium nitride and carbon nanotubes due to the surface charges by means of the used surface active material. Thus, aluminium nitride and carbon nanotubes can be mixed homogeneously.

A. Heat Direction Description of the invention
The invention comprises the production method for using nano-hybrid composite material containing aluminium nitride (AIN) (110), and carbon nanotube (CNT) (120) as thermal interface material (100).
Aluminium nitride, AIN (110), which has an insulating property, has high thermal conductivity. The carbon nanotube, CNT (120), is a two-dimensional carbon structure wound in the form of a hexagonal cylinder formed by the combining of the carbon element thereto. CNTs (120) are filling materials that increase thermal conductivity due to their unique properties. CNTs (120) have high thermal conductivity and thermal stability.
Although AIN (110) and CNT (120) have high thermal conductivity, some problems emerge when these are used together. First of all, CNTs (120) have a large surface area, so they create problems such as clumping or not being homogeneously dispersed in the compound during an application to CNT (120). Also, the zeta potentials of AIN (110) and CNT (120) are negative. For this reason, in cases where two materials are desired to be mixed, negative surface charges make it difficult to obtain a homogeneous mixture because they repel each other. To eliminate this problem, it is necessary to use surface active materials. Within the scope of the invention, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) or trimethylsilyl chloride (TMCS) surfactants are used to control the surface charge.
Production method of nano-hybrid composite coating containing AIN (110) and CNT (120) comprises the process steps of: a) Mixing of 0.005% to 0.01 % by weight CNT (120) with 10 ml of ethanol, propanol or methanol in a magnetic stirrer using a Teflon-coated magnet at 250-450 rpm for 30 minutes at room temperature, b) Adding 0.5-1 .5 ml of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) or trimethylsilyl chloride (TMCS) dropwise during the mixing process, c) Obtaining a stable CNT (120) solution by ultrasonically mixing the mixture for 30 minutes, d) Addition of 0.5-1.5% by weight of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) into 100 ml of ethanol, propanol or methanol, e) Obtaining the PVA mixture by mixing in a magnetic stirrer using a Teflon- coated magnet at 250-450 rpm for 30 minutes at room temperature, f) Transferring the PVA mixture into the axial mill container, g) Adding balls to the axial mill container such that they cover 1/3 of the container, h) Adding 1-10% AIN (110) powder by weight of the mixture to the mill, i) Obtaining AIN (110) mixture by grinding in an axial mill at 350 rpm for 1 hour, j) Adding the stable CNT (120) solution to the mixture containing PVA and AIN in the mill chamber, k) Mixing the entire mixture in the axial mill bowl for 1 hour, and l) Performing the coating with the prepared solution.
During these process steps, preferably 10 ml of propanol and 1 ml of TMCS are used in the preparation of the CNT solution. Preferably, 1 % PVA and propanol are used to obtain the PVA mixture, while 5% AIN (110) powder is preferably used to obtain the AIN (110) mixture.
In the production method of AIN (110) and CNT (120) nano-hybrid composite coating, the coating process step is coating the solution obtained on the surface where the thermal conductivity is desired to be increased. This coating process can be carried out by any of the methods of dip coating, spraying or electrospray coating. Preferably, the electrospray coating method is used. The process comprises the process step of:
• Coating in the range of 0.02-0.05 ml/min flow rate,
• Using 5-15 cm surface-nozzle distance,
• At 3-10 kV voltage range,
• Within 5-30 minutes.
During these steps, the coating process is preferably applied for 10-20 minutes using a flow rate of 0.03 ml/min, a distance of 10 cm from the surface to the nozzle, and a voltage of 6kV. As a result of this process, 10-100 pm thick nano-hybrid composite coating is obtained. The thermal dissipation value of this coating is in the range of 35- 50 mm2/second.
The use of AIN (110) and CNT (120) nano-hybrid composite coating in the cooling system is shown in Figure-1 . Accordingly, the composite thermal interface material (100) produced from AIN (110) and CNT (120) is coated on the chip (200) placed on the board, which is used as a base (300). The task of the thermal interface material in this region is to rapidly remove the heat released in the chip from the chip and transmit it to the electrically insulating chip package (400) in a sandwich structure. A composite thermal interface material produced from AIN (110) and CNT (120) is coated on the chip package (400) layer. The heat sink block (500), which removes the heat from the system, is placed on this second thermal interface coating. Thus, a cooling system structure consisting of different layers is obtained, preventing the heating of the chip (200) structure by removing the heat from it which is heated as a result of electronic processes. The heat direction (A) shown in Figure-1 shows the conduction direction of the thermal interface material (100) to remove heat. The heat direction (A) is always made from the hot part to the cold part.
The schematic representation of the internal structure of the nano-hybrid composite coating comprising AIN (110) and CNT (120) is shown in Figure-2. The internal structure of the coating, which is formed by the homogeneous distribution of CNTs (120) surrounding the AIN (110) particles, is shown as a representation.
In Figure-3 and Figure-4, the microstructure of the nano-hybrid composite coating comprising AIN (110) and CNT (120) is shown from the cross-sectional surface and the upper surface, respectively, under the scanning electron microscope.
