Therefore, the terms used to describe positional relationships in the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting the present patent. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0079] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" or similar designation indicating a connection between components should be interpreted broadly.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0080] This invention provides a method for fabricating a plate-level fan-out heat dissipation structure. The method includes providing a first metal plate, a second metal plate, and a third metal plate. A microchannel outlet is formed on one side of the third metal plate to form a first heat dissipation module. A plurality of microchannels penetrating the second metal plate along its thickness direction are formed on the second metal plate to form a second heat dissipation module. A microchannel storage area inlet and a microchannel storage area communicating with the inlet are formed on one side of the third metal plate to form a third heat dissipation module. The first heat dissipation module, the third heat dissipation module, and the second heat dissipation module are respectively mounted and connected, so that the microchannel storage area communicates with the microchannel outlet through the microchannels. The method is then cut to obtain the plate-level fan-out heat dissipation structure.
[0081] The method for fabricating the board-level fan-out heat dissipation structure of the present invention combines the size advantages of board-level fan-out packaging and adopts a board-level array form for fabrication. The modular board-level fan-out heat dissipation structure can simultaneously fabricate each heat dissipation module of the board-level fan-out heat dissipation structure, which greatly improves the manufacturing efficiency of the heat dissipation structure, realizes high-efficiency and mass production, and enhances cost advantages. In the present invention, the cooling fluid automatically enters the inlet of the microchannel storage area through the capillary action principle and is stored in the microchannel storage area. When the cooling fluid in the microchannel storage area is full, it automatically flows back into the microchannel through the capillary action principle and automatically flows out through the microchannel outlet. The inlet of the microchannel storage area can be connected to the microchannel outlet through other connecting pipes to realize the automatic circulation of the cooling fluid (the entire circulation process does not require the setting of micro pumps or other power devices). This provides active heat dissipation for the chip located under the third metal plate. Combined with the passive heat dissipation effect of the metal plate on the chip, it can effectively improve the heat dissipation effect of the chip.
[0082] The preparation method of the plate-level fan-out heat dissipation structure of the present invention will be explained in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0106] The fabrication of the first heat dissipation module, the second heat dissipation module, and the third heat dissipation module can be carried out simultaneously to improve efficiency and reduce production costs.
[0107] The first metal plate 12, the second metal plate 22, and the third metal plate 32 are all made of copper, which has good thermal conductivity. The copper plates can be pressed using copper-clad laminate or copper plating, and are not limited thereto. Of course, the materials of the first metal plate 12, the second metal plate 22, and the third metal plate 32 in this embodiment are not limited to copper; they can also be other metals with thermal conductivity.
[0108] In this embodiment, the materials of the first carrier plate 11, the second carrier plate 21 and the third carrier plate 31 can be glass, SUS, Prepreg (BT), FR4, FR5, PP, EMC, PI and other materials.
[0109] In this embodiment, the positions of the microchannel outlet 121 on the first metal plate 12, the microchannel 221 on the second metal plate 22, and the microchannel storage area inlet 321 and microchannel storage area 322 on the third metal plate 32 are pre-designed. Then, the apertures are created using a photosensitive dry film application-exposure-development-etching process. The method of creating apertures using photosensitive dry film application-exposure-development-etching is a conventional technique in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0110] In other embodiments, lasers can also be used to fabricate the microchannel outlet 121 on the first metal plate 12, the microchannel 221 on the second metal plate 22, and the microchannel storage area inlet 321 and the microchannel storage area 322 on the third metal plate 32. Laser removal of material from the metal plates is a conventional technique in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0111] Furthermore, in this embodiment, adjacent heat dissipation modules are mounted together in the following manner:
[0112] First, the three heat dissipation modules are cleaned using plasma to remove oxides and metal debris generated during the opening process from the surface of the metal plates. Then, the metal plates of two adjacent heat dissipation modules are connected by electrostatic adsorption. This method allows adjacent metal plates to be quickly connected by electrostatic adsorption, improving the mounting efficiency of the first metal plate 12, the second metal plate 22, and the third metal plate 32.
[0113] In actual operation, such as Figures 7-1 to 7-3 The mounting process specifically includes the following steps:
[0114] (1) Clean the first heat dissipation module, the second heat dissipation module and the third heat dissipation module using plasma;
[0115] (2) Align and attach the first metal plate 12 of the first heat dissipation module to the outlet side of the microchannel 221 of the second metal plate 22 of the second heat dissipation module, and then remove the second carrier plate 21.
[0116] (3) Align and attach the third metal plate 32 of the third heat dissipation module to the inlet side of the microchannel 221 of the second metal plate 22 of the second heat dissipation module. The first heat dissipation module, the second heat dissipation module and the third heat dissipation module after attachment are as follows: Figure 8 As shown;
[0117] (4) such as Figure 7-3 As shown, the three heat dissipation modules after mounting are cut together to complete the fabrication of the board-level fan-out heat dissipation structure, resulting in the structure shown. Figure 9 The plate-level fan-out heat dissipation structure is shown.
[0118] Example 2
[0119] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1 above (the names of the same components are the same as those in the attached drawings of Embodiment 1), the difference being the mounting method of the first heat dissipation module, the second heat dissipation module, and the third heat dissipation module, which specifically includes the following steps:
[0120] First, the three heat dissipation modules are cleaned using plasma to remove oxides and metal debris generated during the opening process from the metal plate surfaces. Then, the metal plates of adjacent heat dissipation modules are connected by electrostatic adsorption. After the three metal plates are aligned and bonded by electrostatic adsorption, they undergo hot pressing. Taking a copper metal plate as an example, during the hot pressing process, copper atoms on the surface of the copper plate are activated and penetrate into the other metal plate it is bonded to. Compared with the previous embodiment, this further improves the bonding stability between the metal plates, thereby improving the structural stability of the board-level fan-out heat dissipation structure and enabling the chip to have a stable heat dissipation effect.
[0121] In actual operation, this mounting process specifically includes the following steps:
[0122] (1) Clean the first heat dissipation module, the second heat dissipation module and the third heat dissipation module using plasma;
[0123] (2) Align and attach the first metal plate 12 of the first heat dissipation module to the outlet side of the microchannel 221 of the second metal plate 22 of the second heat dissipation module, and then remove the second carrier plate 21.
[0124] (3) Align and attach the third metal plate 32 of the third heat dissipation module to the inlet side of the microchannel 221 of the second metal plate 22 of the second heat dissipation module;
[0125] (4) Perform hot pressing on the three heat dissipation modules after mounting;

[0133] (3) Align and attach the third metal plate 32 of the third heat dissipation module to the inlet side of the microchannel 221 of the second metal plate 22 of the second heat dissipation module.
[0134] (4) Perform hot pressing on the three heat dissipation modules after mounting;
[0135] (5) Cut the three heat dissipation modules after hot pressing to complete the fabrication of the board-level fan-out heat dissipation structure.

[0144] Example 5
[0145] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 4 above (the names of the same components are the same as those in the attached drawings of Embodiment 4), the difference being that the bonding adhesive is replaced with thermal adhesive, that is, the metal plates of two adjacent heat dissipation modules are bonded together with thermal adhesive. Compared with Embodiment 4, the use of thermal adhesive in this embodiment can further improve the heat dissipation effect of the board-level fan-out heat dissipation structure.
[0146] Specifically, the components of the thermal adhesive include graphene, silicone, silicone grease, a mixture of methyl vinyl polysiloxanes, a mixture of methyl hydrogen polysiloxanes, and alumina. Graphene enables the thermal adhesive to have excellent heat dissipation performance.
[0147] like Figure 7-3As shown, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a plate-level fan-out heat dissipation structure, which is prepared using the preparation method of the plate-level fan-out heat dissipation structure in any of the above embodiments. The plate-level fan-out heat dissipation structure includes a first heat dissipation module, a second heat dissipation module, and a third heat dissipation module connected sequentially from top to bottom. The first heat dissipation module includes a first metal plate 12 and a groove-shaped microchannel outlet 121 formed on the side of the first metal plate 12 near the second metal plate 22. The microchannel outlet 121 extends to one side wall of the first metal plate 12. The second heat dissipation module includes a second metal plate 22 and a plurality of microchannels 221 formed on the second metal plate 22. 21 is located below the microchannel outlet 121 and penetrates the second metal plate 22 along the thickness direction of the second metal plate 22. The third heat dissipation module includes a third metal plate 32 and a microchannel storage area 322 opened on the side of the third metal plate 32 near the second metal plate 22 and a microchannel storage area inlet 321 communicating with the microchannel storage area 322. The microchannel storage area 322 is directly opposite the microchannel 221. The microchannel storage area 322 is connected to the microchannel outlet 121 through the microchannel 221. The end of the microchannel storage area inlet 321 away from the microchannel storage area 322 extends to one side wall of the third metal plate 32.
[0148] In this invention, cooling fluid automatically enters the microchannel storage area inlet 321 through capillary action and is stored in the microchannel storage area 322. When the microchannel storage area 322 is full, the cooling fluid automatically flows back into the microchannel 221 through capillary action and automatically flows out through the microchannel outlet 121. The microchannel storage area inlet 321 can be connected to the microchannel outlet 121 through other connecting pipes to realize automatic circulation of cooling fluid (the entire circulation process does not require the installation of micro-pumps or other power devices). This provides active heat dissipation for the chip located below the first metal plate 12. Combined with the passive heat dissipation effect of the metal plate on the chip, the heat dissipation effect of the chip can be effectively improved.
[0149] In the first, second, and third heat dissipation modules, the metal plates of adjacent heat dissipation modules are connected by electrostatic adsorption. After the metal plates are cleaned with plasma to remove surface oxides and other impurities, they can be connected by electrostatic adsorption.
[0150] In other embodiments, in the first heat dissipation module, the second heat dissipation module and the third heat dissipation module, the metal plates of two adjacent heat dissipation modules are bonded together by bonding adhesive, which can eliminate the cleaning step.
[0151] Furthermore, in the first, second, and third heat dissipation modules, the metal plates of adjacent heat dissipation modules are bonded together using thermal adhesive. Compared to using bonding adhesive, using thermal adhesive can further improve the heat dissipation effect.
[0152] In this embodiment, the first metal plate 12, the second metal plate 22 and the third metal plate 32 are all copper plates.
[0153] Furthermore, there are four microchannel storage area inlets 321, which extend to the four sides of the third metal plate 32 respectively. There are also four microchannel outlets 121, which extend to the four sides of the first metal plate 12 respectively and correspond to one of the microchannel storage area inlets 321 respectively.
[0154] The depth of the microchannel storage area 322 is greater than the depth of the microchannel storage area inlet 321.
[0155] The shape of the cross-section of the microchannel 221 can be square, circular, triangular, or other structures, and there are no specific restrictions.
[0156] Embodiments of the present invention also provide an electronic component comprising a chip and the board-level fan-out heat dissipation structure described in the above embodiments, wherein the chip is mounted on the side of the third heat dissipation module away from the second heat dissipation module. The combination of active and passive heat dissipation in the board-level fan-out heat dissipation structure enables the chip to achieve excellent heat dissipation.
[0157] It should be stated that the above-described specific embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, equivalent substitutions, and variations can be made to the present invention. However, such variations, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of the present invention, should be within the scope of protection of the present invention. Furthermore, some terminology used in this specification and claims is not limiting, but merely for ease of description.
