Technical Field

[0002] Thermal design is critical to chip performance and reliability. As temperature rises, the failure rate of electronic components and equipment increases exponentially. Breakthroughs in high-performance electronic systems increasingly depend on the ability to safely dissipate excess heat. Existing chip heat dissipation is mainly achieved through heat conduction and convection. According to the cooling medium and its flow state, these heat dissipation technologies are divided into natural air convection cooling, forced air convection cooling and single-phase liquid cooling, with corresponding heat dissipation capacities of 0.1 to 1 W / cm 2 , 1~10W / cm 2 and 10~1000W / cm 2 At present, the equivalent heat flux density inside some power chips has exceeded 100W / cm 2 , the air cooling method can no longer meet the thermal design requirements of the chip.

[0003] Microfluidic cooling technology, which is developed around liquid working fluids and microscale characteristics, has become the focus of chip thermal design. The existing microchannel cooling technology has limited heat exchange capacity and cannot control hot spot temperatures. Since the fluid flow in the existing microchannel cooling channels is mostly in a laminar flow state, the fluid velocity near the wall boundary is low, and heat can only be transferred by heat conduction, and the convective heat transfer capacity is limited.

Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the branch assembly 2 also includes a main flow control valve 211, a backup pump 203, a backup flow control valve 212 and a working medium reflux channel 204. The backup pump 203 and the backup flow control valve 212 are connected in series, and the flow path formed by the main flow control valve 211 is arranged in parallel with the flow path formed by the backup pump 203 and the backup flow control valve 212.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the working medium reflux channel 204 is connected to the heat exchange cavity 101 by branching into a first reflux branch 205, a second reflux branch 206, a third reflux branch 207, a fourth reflux branch 208, a fifth reflux branch 209 and a sixth reflux branch 210. The first reflux branch 205 and the second reflux branch 206 are arranged on both sides of the first sharp corner 107, the third reflux branch 207 and the fourth reflux branch 208 are arranged on both sides of the second sharp corner 108, and the fifth reflux branch 209 and the sixth reflux branch 210 are arranged on both sides of the third sharp corner 109.

The boundary layer thickness is calculated as follows: Wherein v and ω are the kinematic viscosity of the heat exchange medium 110 and the vibration angular frequency of the vibration exciter, respectively.

[0052] To realize the control of the main flow control valve, the standby pump 203 and the standby flow control valve 212, as shown in FIG.

[0053] A control method of a chip cooling system is used to control the above chip cooling system, comprising the following steps:

[0054] 1) A signal is received through the signal input interface 501. After the signal is processed by the signal processor 502, when the chip is in normal operation, that is, the heating chip is operating normally, the controller 504 issues an instruction to open the main flow control valve 211, close the standby flow control valve 212 and the standby pump 203, and the first vibration exciter 505, the second vibration exciter 506, the third vibration exciter 507, the fourth vibration exciter 508, the fifth vibration exciter 509 and the sixth vibration exciter 510 all work at the design frequency to drive the heat exchange medium 110 near the first sharp corner 107, the second sharp corner 108 and the third sharp corner 109 to form an acoustic flow effect, pump the cooling medium into the heat exchange cavity 101, and form a jet impact along the axis direction of the sharp corner to cool the chip substrate 102. After the heat exchange is completed, the heat exchange medium flows out to both sides of the heat exchange cavity 101 through the acoustic flow vortex and fluid pumping action. The entire system relies on the pumping action of the acoustic flow of the sharp corner to complete the circulation of the heat exchange medium 110;
