Abstract

The invention discloses a liquid metal thermal interface material composited with aluminum foam, which is made of liquid metal thermal interface material and aluminum foam, and the liquid metal thermal interface material is composed of the following components in weight percentage: Zn: 2.0-6.0% , Sb: 1.0‑3.0%, Sn: 8.0‑16.0%, Zr: 0.3‑0.8%, Gd: 0.1‑0.2%, Ru: 0.02‑0.04%, and the balance is In. Since the thermal conductivity of aluminum is around 237 W / m.K. By adjusting the density of aluminum, the thermal conductivity of the liquid metal thermal interface material can be effectively increased to 90-110W / m.K. Provide a cooling solution at the top of the cooling pyramid for large-scale and effective cooling in extreme environments.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of liquid metal, in particular to a foam aluminum composite liquid metal thermal interface material. Background technique [0002] As we all know, IGBT devices have become the mainstream devices in the development of power semiconductor devices today due to their high input resistance, fast switching speed, low on-state voltage, high blocking voltage, and large current. They are widely used in various AC motors, In the power electronic circuit of frequency converter, switching power supply, lighting circuit, traction drive and other fields. When the IGBT device is working, the heat generated will cause the chip temperature to rise rapidly beyond the maximum allowable IGBT junction temperature. Therefore, the performance of the IGBT will be greatly reduced, and cannot work stably, resulting in performance degradation or failure. Due to the further development of IGBT technology in recent years, the related high-effic...
