Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of chip thermal management, and in particular relates to an expandable topological flow channel for high-throughput heat dissipation and a design method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the development of integrated circuit manufacturing and chip packaging technology and people's demand for higher computing power chips, the number of transistors per unit area of the chip has greatly increased, resulting in a rapid increase in chip power density, and the local heat flux density can reach 1000W / cm 2 The temperature of the chip continues to rise during operation. If the heat cannot be dissipated quickly, the chip power consumption will increase, the chip multi-core operating frequency will be limited, the chip aging will be accelerated, and the chip will fail or even burn out. Studies have shown that more than 95% of the space in an electronic chip is used for heat dissipation, and the temperature of an electronic chip that works stably and continuously cannot exceed 85°C. With the further improvement of the degree of chip integration, higher requirements are placed on heat dissipation. The further development of chip technology requires more advanced thermal management technology as support.
[0003] At present, the research on chip microchannel cooling methods is concentrated on manifold microchannels, jet microchannels and patch-type external microchannels. Although these cooling methods have shown relatively strong cooling performance, they still have many shortcomings, such as poor stability of working fluid flow, uneven heat transfer leading to the generation of local hot spots, etc., which restricts the further improvement of chip cooling level.
[0004] Traditional chip microchannel cooling adopts a parallel structure of multiple horizontal microchannels, which has low processing precision requirements and is not easy to clog, but it also has disadvantages such as unstable flow, poor thermal uniformity, and high pump work. The flow rate between different flow channels is quite different, and the fluid flow rate in the central flow channel is much higher than that in the edge flow channel. The long process leads to a large pressure drop, and the mismatch between the pressure gradient and the temperature gradient leads to low heat transfer efficiency. As the chip computing power increases, the heat flux density continues to increase, and the heat dissipation capacity of traditional flat microchannels can no longer match it, which has limited the further development of chip microchannel cooling. Topological microchannel structure optimization has emerged as an emerging microchannel design method.
[0005] Compared with traditional straight microchannels, topological microchannels have greatly improved flow stability and thermal uniformity, and have gradually become an important means to solve the heat dissipation of high-power density chips. The topological microchannel structure optimizes the microchannel structure based on fluid mechanics, structural mechanics, and fractal geometry, which can reduce the flow resistance and heat transfer resistance of the working fluid, improve flow stability and thermal uniformity, and significantly improve the heat dissipation performance of the microchannel, especially for large-size and high-heat flux density chips. With the continuous development of lithography technology and microchannel fine processing technology, it has become possible to directly construct topological microchannels on the chip substrate, which can further improve the heat dissipation capacity of chip microchannels.
[0006] The traditional topological channel design for large-size heat dissipation is often based on the form of "small inlet-large diffusion-small outlet", while the actual chip heat dissipation process is mainly based on "large inlet-large diffusion-large outlet". The traditional large-area topological channel design method deviates from the actual heat dissipation conditions; in addition, the traditional topological channel design has large dead areas at the corners, which easily accumulates heat and causes hot spots. It also has the disadvantages of long calculation time and the pursuit of fine bionic structures is prone to blockage, resulting in low practical application value. Summary of the invention

The fins of the front section introduce the inflowing cooling medium from the front section secondary channel to both sides, and the first middle fins cooperate with the front section main channel to bring the cooling medium close to the middle. The front section main channel gradually narrows.
[0012] The middle section includes a second axial fin, a third axial fin, a fourth axial fin and three second middle fins. The middle section starts from the third axial fin. The third axial fin is arranged on the second symmetry axis. The three second middle fins are arranged in sequence and approach the first symmetry axis to reach the second axial fin on the first symmetry axis. At the same time, the fourth axial fin is arranged at the end position of the middle section. Gaps are provided between the second axial fin, the third axial fin, the fourth axial fin and the three second middle fins. The second middle fin of the middle section divides the cooling medium in the main channel of the front section into a first edge fluid. The first edge fluid gathers toward the middle under the influence of the fins of the middle section and is divided into a second edge fluid by the diverter fins of the middle section.
[0013] The rear section includes three third middle fins, which are arranged in sequence from the second axial fins and close to the second symmetry axis, and gaps are provided between the three third middle fins; the second edge fluid is collected in the rear section, and the heat exchange area is increased by using the third middle fins of the rear section;

[0054] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0055] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0056] Embodiment 1
[0057] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a scalable topological flow channel for high-throughput heat dissipation includes: a large inlet structure, a large diffusion structure and a large outlet structure.
[0058] The large inlet structure is an inlet with a large liquid inlet area.
[0059] The topological microchannel of the large diffusion structure is a three-section type, including: a front section, a middle section and a rear section; the front section includes a first axial fin and five first middle fins, the front section starts from the first axial fin, the first axial fin is arranged on the first symmetry axis, the five first middle fins are arranged in sequence and approach the second symmetry axis, and gaps are provided between the first axial fins and the five first middle fins; the fins of the front section introduce the incoming cooling medium from the front section secondary channel to both sides, and cooperate with the first middle fins of the front section main channel to bring the cooling medium closer to the middle, and the front section main channel gradually narrows; the middle section includes a second axial fin, a third axial fin, a fourth axial fin and three second middle fins, the middle section starts from the third axial fin, the third axial fin is arranged on the second symmetry axis, and the three second middle fins are arranged on the second symmetry axis. The fins on the first section are arranged in sequence and approach the first symmetry axis to reach the second axial fin on the first symmetry axis. At the same time, the fourth axial fin is arranged at the end position of the middle section, and gaps are provided between the second axial fin, the third axial fin, the fourth axial fin and the three second middle fins; the second middle fin in the middle section divides the cooling medium in the main channel of the front section into a first edge fluid, and the first edge fluid gathers toward the middle under the influence of the fins in the middle section, and is divided into a second edge fluid by the diverter fins in the middle section; the rear section includes three third middle fins, and the three third middle fins are arranged in sequence starting from the second axial fin and approach the second symmetry axis, and gaps are provided between the three third middle fins; the second edge fluid is gathered in the rear section, and the third middle fin in the rear section is used to increase the heat exchange area.
[0060] In this embodiment, the spacing between the fins is 0.1-0.2mm, the spacing between the fins on the shaft and the middle fins is larger, the three sections of fins are evenly distributed along the process horizontally, the fin lengths are all about 0.5mm, and the area of the middle fins will be significantly increased when they are close to the fins on the shaft; the longitudinal direction is stepped close to the symmetry axes on both sides, and the spacing between the fins is similar; the front end has a larger number of fins for liquid distribution, which increases the number of multi-stage channels, slows down the liquid distribution flow rate, and makes the liquid distribution more uniform; the middle and rear fins play a greater role in disturbing the fluid.
[0061] The channels formed between the axial fins and the middle fins are main channels, that is, the channels with larger width along the flow direction are the main channels, and there are 2 main channels in total; the channels formed between the middle fins are secondary channels, that is, the channels with narrower widths perpendicular to the flow direction are the secondary channels, and there are 9 main channels and secondary channels in total, which are basically in a vertical relationship; the 5 first middle fins in the front section form 4 secondary channels, which are evenly distributed laterally and tend to narrow along the flow process; the 3 second middle fins in the middle section form 2 secondary channels with similar widths; the 3 third middle fins in the rear section form channels with similar widths; after multi-fin diversion, it finally presents a shape of multiple secondary channels evenly distributed between the two main channels, and the main channels and secondary channels are intertwined to realize the overall flow process of liquid distribution-multiple liquid separation-outflow.
[0062] The large outlet structure is an outlet with a large liquid discharge area.
[0063] In this embodiment, the overall model setting of "large inlet-large diffusion-large outlet" conforms to the current actual chip heat dissipation method. The "large inlet" is a large inlet structure, and the inlet area of the inlet area is large, so that the cooling medium has a larger flow rate at the same flow rate, and the liquid distribution is more uniform, which can significantly improve the heat dissipation capacity and temperature uniformity of the cooling medium;
[0064] "Large diffusion" and large diffusion structure refer to the large area of the cooling medium flowing and transferring heat in the design domain, and the fluid can fully flow and transfer heat in the domain, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the topological microfluidic channel after symmetrical expansion along the second symmetry axis is formed in the domain and is divided into three sections, including the front section, the middle section and the back section. The front section fins introduce the central fluid from the secondary channel to both sides, and cooperate with the first middle fin of the main channel to move closer to the middle, so that the secondary channel can achieve more uniform large-area liquid distribution; the middle section further divides the central liquid into the first edge liquid through the middle second middle fin, and at the same time, the edge side liquid tends to gather in the middle, and the mutual convection forms a local vortex, which strengthens the disturbance between the fluids, and the two parts of the liquid are fully mixed. The larger main channel accelerates the flow rate of the fluid, and at the same time, the second middle fin of the middle section introduces part of the central fluid into the second edge fluid, and the second edge fluid is collected in the back section. At the same time, the fins increase the convection heat exchange area to avoid the temperature increase of the edge fluid in the back section, forming a basic process of uniform liquid distribution in the front section, strengthening the mixing and disturbance of the central fluid and the edge fluid in the middle section, and rapid outflow and further strengthening the disturbance in the back section, which perfectly meets the heat dissipation problem of large-size chips targeted by the proposal.
[0065] "Big outlet" refers to a large outlet structure with a large outlet area, which speeds up the flow process of the fluid working medium, while reducing the pressure drop in the outlet part, avoiding the problem of local backflow before the outlet of the "small outlet".
