Description

Thermal interface material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of thermal interface materials, and particularly relates to a thermal interface material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
For an integrated circuit, after the chip is packaged, heat generated by the chip is mainly dissipated through a radiator, the radiator is in solid-solid contact with the chip, a plurality of gaps are formed in the surface of the solid-solid contact for amplification, air is filled in the gaps, the heat conductivity of the air is low, and the heat cannot be fully transferred, so that the contact thermal resistance between the chip and the radiator is large, and the heat of the chip cannot be effectively transferred. At this time, thermal Interface Materials (TIMs) with high thermal conductivity are required for filling, and the TIMs can compensate for gaps between the chip and the heat sink, and between the heat sink and the heat sink, and transfer heat of the chip to the heat sink through the TIMs, and further transfer heat out through the heat sink. In fact, TIMs have become a bottleneck for heat dissipation of chips, so that the heat of chips can be regulated and controlled through TIMs.
Currently, most of the thermal interface materials play a role in heat dissipation, and researchers focus on how to further improve the heat conduction performance of TIMs. However, the proper operating temperature of the chip is in a range, and researches show that the optimal operating temperature of the chip is 15-40 ℃, and exceeding or falling below the temperature range can cause the efficiency of the chip to be reduced, the chip to be invalid and even damage to the chip. According to the test results, when the temperature exceeds the proper range, the failure rate of the chip will rise by 50% every 10 ℃ rise in temperature. Also, similar results can be produced for the chip when the environmental temperature is too low, and the failure rate of the chip is obviously increased in the low-temperature environment. Chinese patent CN101899288B proposes a thermal interface material prepared by compounding a carbon nanotube array and a low-melting point metal alloy, which mainly plays the advantage of high thermal conductivity of the carbon nanotube axis, and prepares a thermal interface material with high thermal conductivity, but the thermal interface material mainly plays a role in heat dissipation, and cannot play a role in low-temperature heat preservation. Chinese patent CN104218010B discloses a metal thermal interface material, which is a low-melting metal alloy and a high-melting metal compound to obtain a high-melting metal alloy thermal interface material with good contact with an electronic device, so that the problem of overflow is solved, and in general, the thermal interface material also mainly plays a role in heat dissipation. Therefore, if TIMs can play roles in heat dissipation at high temperature and heat preservation at low temperature, then the TIMs can really play an effective role in heat management on the chip and further on the integrated circuit, and have important significance in prolonging the service life of the chip.
Disclosure of Invention
Based on the purpose, the invention provides a thermal interface material capable of achieving the effects of high-temperature heat dissipation and low-temperature heat preservation and a preparation method thereof.
In order to solve the problems set forth in the background art, the invention provides a preparation method of a thermal interface material, which comprises the following steps:
A method for preparing a thermal interface material, comprising the steps of:
(1) Preparing a low-melting-point metal alloy with a melting point of 0-30 ℃;
(2) Pouring low-melting-point metal alloy into resin when in a liquid state to form a heat conduction channel;
(3) The composite material formed by the low-melting-point metal alloy and the resin is used as a thermal interface material for chip packaging, and the packaging is carried out according to specific requirements.
The low-melting-point metal alloy is formed by compounding two or more of gallium, indium, tin and zinc; the proportion of each metal element in the alloy varies according to the melting point of the alloy.
Preferably, the low melting point metal alloy has a thermal conductivity greater than 20W/mK; the viscosity of the low-melting-point metal alloy is 2-5000 mPa & s.
Preferably, the resin is an epoxy resin or a silicone resin.
The step of forming the heat conducting channel is to form a pore canal in the resin matrix in advance (as shown in fig. 1), and then pour the low-melting-point metal alloy into the pore canal when in a liquid state, so as to fill the pore canal.
Preferably, the epoxy resin is mainly bisphenol A type epoxy resin, and E51 is mainly.
Preferably, the organic silicon resin refers to silicone oil, silicone grease and the like, and mainly comprises polydimethylsiloxane.
The package structure is shown in fig. 2.
The invention provides a thermal interface material, which comprises matrix resin and a heat conduction network formed by low-melting-point metal alloy; the volume change caused by the phase change of the low-melting-point metal alloy is utilized to control the communication and interruption of the heat conduction network, so as to control the heat conductivity of the thermal interface material, thereby playing roles in high-temperature heat dissipation and low-temperature heat preservation of the chip.
In order to avoid that a thin metal oxide layer may be formed on the surface after the low-melting-point metal alloy is contacted with air, thereby affecting the heat conductivity of the metal alloy, the long-time contact with air should be avoided as much as possible during the preparation and use of the low-melting-point metal alloy, or the oxide layer possibly occurring on the surface of the low-melting-point metal alloy may be removed before packaging.
The invention combines the technical improvement and the process, and has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
The method comprises the following steps: the invention mainly uses the change of volume of low-melting point metal alloy to change the heat conduction property of thermal interface material when phase change occurs, and is specifically expressed in: when the temperature of the chip is increased to the melting point of the low-melting-point metal alloy, the alloy undergoes solid-liquid phase change to become liquid, and the pores of the matrix resin are filled to form a heat conduction channel; because the heat conductivity coefficient of the low-melting-point metal alloy is relatively high, heat can be effectively led out, and therefore the chip is subjected to high-temperature heat dissipation. When the temperature of the external environment is lower, the heat is dissipated to cause the temperature of the chip to gradually decrease, when the temperature is reduced to the melting point of the low-melting-point metal alloy, the liquid-solid phase change occurs, the metal alloy is changed from a liquid state to a solid state, the volume is contracted, the pores of the matrix resin cannot be completely filled, the heat conduction channel is interrupted, and at the moment, the TIMs cannot effectively transfer heat due to low heat conduction coefficient, so that the low-temperature heat preservation effect is realized.
And two,: the invention combines the packaging technology, not only can effectively utilize the characteristics of high heat conductivity, volume change caused by phase change and the like of the low-melting-point metal alloy, but also can avoid the leakage problem possibly occurring when the metal alloy is in a liquid state, so that the whole TIMs can truly play a role in the heat management of the chip, thereby ensuring the chip to operate in a reasonable temperature range.
