Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic components, and more particularly to a diamond heat dissipation element. Background Art
[0002] As electronic devices (such as high-power chips, 5G communication equipment, and lasers) evolve toward miniaturization, high integration, and high frequency, their power density is increasing dramatically, leading to increasingly prominent thermal management issues. Excessive temperatures can degrade device performance, shorten lifespan, and even cause failures, making efficient heat dissipation technologies a key challenge.
[0003] Currently commonly used heat dissipation materials include:
[0004] Metal materials (such as copper and aluminum): have high thermal conductivity, but large thermal expansion coefficient, are easily mismatched with semiconductor materials, and have high density;
[0005] Ceramic materials (such as AlN, SiC): good insulation, but low thermal conductivity and high processing cost;
[0006] Graphene / carbon nanotubes: Excellent in-plane thermal conductivity, but poor vertical thermal conductivity and difficult to prepare on a large scale;
[0007] These materials struggle to meet the combined demands of ultra-high thermal conductivity, lightweight design, and chemical stability for next-generation electronic devices. Diamond, due to its unique physical properties, is an ideal heat dissipation material. However, the diamond particles in commercially available diamond heat dissipation components are disordered, resulting in uneven distribution of the diamond particles as heat dissipation materials for electronic systems. This increases thermal resistance and reduces cooling speed. In critical applications requiring high heat dissipation, particularly high-power, continuously operating electronic systems, where continuous and rapid cooling is essential, existing diamond heat dissipation components clearly cannot achieve this. Summary of the Invention

The particle size of the copper powder is 400 mesh, and the particle sizes of the Cr and Ti powders (strong carbide-forming elements) are both 200-300 mesh.

[0043] The present invention uses a vacuum brazing method to manufacture a vacuum brazed diamond heat dissipation element with orderly arranged diamond particles. When used in electronic systems, the diamond heat dissipation element replaces the diamond heat dissipation element with disordered diamond particles in traditional heat dissipation elements, thereby solving the problems of unequal distances between crystal planes of diamonds, increased thermal resistance caused by diamond superposition, and uneven heat transfer. The diamond heat dissipation element with orderly arranged diamond particles is used in a similar manner to a conventional heat sink. It is attached to the element to be dissipated, cooled, and tightly connected to the heat source. Except for the exposed heat dissipation surface, the other crystal surfaces of the diamond are completely immersed in heat-conducting metal, which evenly absorbs heat and dissipates it effectively and quickly, avoiding the risk of electronic system jamming and failure due to overheating, so that the electronic system remains in normal operation.

Obviously, the embodiments described 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 making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0049] Example 1:

The diamond particles 3 are orderly arranged on the heat dissipation surface of the heat dissipation substrate 4 close to the element to be dissipated 1.
[0051] Diamond is the material with the highest thermal conductivity among commonly used heat dissipation component materials, see Table 1 below
[0052] Table 1
[0053]
[0054] The diamond particles 3 are arranged in a staggered manner to form a staggered track 5. The staggered arrangement of the diamond particles 3 is set to a hexagonal close-packed (HCP) structure with adjacent layers rotated 15 degrees. The diamond particles 3 are arranged along the heat dissipation element 1 to form a customized circuit heat dissipation track 6. The diamond particles 3 are selected from type II diamond, boron-doped diamond, or hexaoctahedral diamond with a particle outer diameter of 200-800 μm. The diamond particles 3 are set as a heat dissipation material. The particle size and amount of the diamond particles 3 and the arrangement of the customized circuit heat dissipation track 6 are adjusted according to the heat dissipation requirements during the preparation process of the heat dissipation element body. Preferably, a particle size range of 200-800 μm or an HCP structure arrangement is specified.
[0055] The fixed welding layer 2 is set as copper or silver-based composite vacuum brazing metal powder;
[0056] The copper-based composite powder comprises, by weight percentage, 92-96 wt% copper powder with a purity of not less than 99.9%, 2-5 wt% Cr (strong carbide-forming element), and 1-3 wt% Ti powder. The copper powder has a particle size of 400 mesh, and the Cr and Ti powders, both strong carbide-forming elements, have a particle size of 200-300 mesh.

The copper solder powder and silver solder powder contain strong carbide-forming elements such as Ti and Cr. These powders can promote the bonding between the diamond particles and the heat dissipation substrate.
[0057] The present invention also includes a method for preparing a diamond heat dissipation element, the specific steps of which are as follows:
[0058] S1. Preparation of composite vacuum brazing metal powder composite: Prepare copper-based composite powder and silver-based composite powder raw materials in proportion, mix them using a planetary ball mill using a wet grinding process, set the ball-to-material ratio to 5:1, and use alcohol as the ball milling medium. The amount of alcohol added should preferably cover the mixed material. The ball milling speed is 200-300 rpm, with a forward rotation of 30 minutes and a reverse rotation of 30 minutes, and the ball milling time is 8-12 hours, finally obtaining a homogeneous composite powder with a laser particle size D50 = 5-10 μm;
[0059] S2, cold pressing: drying the mixed powder after ball milling in step S1 above, pressing with an automatic cold press at a pressure of 200-400 MPa. Gradient experiments show that the green density reaches 75-78% of the theoretical density at 300 MPa. The holding time is set to 3-5 minutes. The holding curve adopts a step-by-step pressure reduction mode to avoid delamination caused by elastic aftereffect, thereby obtaining a pressed material.
[0060] S3. Pre-sintering: The pressed material obtained in step S2 is sintered in a protective gas environment in a three-stage temperature gradient manner: room temperature → 450°C, heating rate 10°C / min; 450°C → 750°C, heating rate 5°C / min; 750°C → operating temperature, cooling rate 3°C / min, to obtain a composite vacuum brazing metal powder. The protective gas environment comprises, by volume percentage, 75% H2 (shielding gas) and 25% N2 (ammonia decomposition gas). The dynamic flow rate is set to 2-3 L / min for sintering density control. The linear shrinkage of the composite vacuum brazing metal powder is measured with a vernier caliper and is between 2-6%.
[0061] S4. Dispensing orderly arranged diamonds: Use a high-precision CNC dispensing machine to dispense temporary adhesive (such as PVA glue) on the heat dissipation substrate 4 according to a preset hexagonal close-packed (HCP) or other orderly array pattern. The PVA glue will completely evaporate under the brazing vacuum sintering, and there will be no residue to affect the brazing. The interlayer misalignment angle is controlled to rotate 15° between adjacent layers (FEA simulation verifies that the heat flux density distribution is optimal at this angle);
[0062] S4.1: Use a vision positioning system to precisely place diamond particles 3 at the glue point one by one to achieve a hexagonal close-packed (HCP) structure, ensuring uniform spacing and angles (e.g., the spacing between adjacent diamonds is 0.8-2.5 times the particle size);
[0063] S4.2: Curing the adhesive using infrared curing to temporarily fix the position of the diamond particles 3;
[0064] S4.3: Evenly spread copper or silver-based brazing powder with a particle size of less than 300 mesh prepared in step S3 on the surface of the heat dissipation substrate 4, where the diamond particles 3 have been fixed. Vibrate or scrape the brazing powder to fill the gaps between the diamond particles 3, ensuring uniform coverage. Confirm the thickness of the interface reaction layer by SEM-EDS analysis: a 1-2 mm Cr3C2 transition layer is formed for copper-based systems, and a 0.5-1 μm TiC layer is formed for silver-based systems. Interface bonding strength test: Shear strength measured by the ball pushing method is >85 MPa (ASTM C633 standard).
[0065] S5. Vacuum brazing:
[0066] S5.1: Place the heat dissipation substrate 4, diamond particles 3 and brazing powder assembled in step S4.3 into a vacuum brazing furnace;
[0067] S5.2: The vacuum brazing furnace is vacuumed by using a three-stage pump group consisting of a mechanical pump, a roots pump, and a diffusion pump. The basic vacuum degree is ≤5×10 -3 Pa, and then introduce 99.999% high-purity argon gas to maintain the working vacuum degree of 1-5 Pa (measured oxygen content <20ppm);
[0068] S5.3: Heating according to the set temperature curve;
[0069] Copper-based solder: 1070-1110°C (20-50°C above the melting point of copper to establish capillary flow);
[0070] Silver-based solder: 960-980°C (Ag-Cu-Ti system liquidus + 15-30°C);
[0071] Insulation time gradient: adjust the insulation time according to the particle size of diamond particles. The insulation time of 30 / 35 mesh is set to 20-25 minutes; the insulation time of 80 / 100 mesh is set to 5-18 minutes.

[0073] S5.4: After the solder melts, it fills the gaps between the diamond particles 3 and the heat dissipation substrate 4 through capillary action, forming a metallurgically bonded fixed solder layer 2;
[0074] S5.5: Control the cooling rate: For temperatures above 800°C, perform a rapid cooling phase at a rate of 50°C / min or higher. For temperatures between 800°C and 400°C, perform a slow cooling phase at a rate of 10°C / min or lower. Cool the sheet welded in step S5.4 at a rate of 10°C / min or lower. Rapid cooling above 800°C prevents grain coarsening, while slow cooling below 800°C reduces stress.

[0077]
[0078] Specifically in this embodiment: a copper sheet is selected as the heat dissipation substrate 4, hexahedral diamond particles are selected as the diamond particles 3 and are arranged in an orderly manner on the heat dissipation substrate 4, and then a copper-based composite vacuum brazing metal powder is arranged into a vacuum brazing furnace to complete the vacuum brazing process to form a blank of a heat dissipation element with orderly arranged diamonds by vacuum brazing. The finished product is obtained after surface cleaning and grinding.
[0079] Example 2:
[0080] Specifically in this embodiment: a copper sheet is selected as the heat dissipation substrate 4, type II diamond or boron-doped diamond particles are selected as diamond particles 3 and are arranged in an orderly manner on the heat dissipation substrate 4, and then a copper-based composite vacuum brazing metal powder is arranged into a vacuum brazing furnace to complete the vacuum brazing process to form a blank of a heat dissipation element with orderly arranged diamonds by vacuum brazing. The finished product is obtained after surface cleaning and grinding.
[0081] Example 3:
[0082] Specifically in this embodiment: a copper sheet is selected as the heat dissipation substrate 4, hexahedral diamond particles are selected as the diamond particles 3 and are arranged in an orderly manner on the heat dissipation substrate 4, and then a silver-based composite vacuum brazing metal powder is arranged into a vacuum brazing furnace to complete the vacuum brazing process to obtain a blank of a heat dissipation element with orderly arranged diamonds by vacuum brazing. The finished product is obtained after surface cleaning and grinding.
[0083] Example 4:
[0084] Specifically in this embodiment: a copper sheet is selected as the heat dissipation substrate 4, type II diamond or boron-doped diamond particles are selected as diamond particles 3 and are arranged in an orderly manner on the heat dissipation substrate 4, and then a silver-based composite vacuum brazing metal powder is arranged into a vacuum brazing furnace to complete the vacuum brazing process to obtain a blank of a heat dissipation element with orderly arranged diamonds by vacuum brazing. The finished product is obtained after surface cleaning and grinding.
[0085] The heat dissipation element body is put into the vacuum brazing furnace together with the orderly arranged diamond particles 3 and the brazing metal powder at the same time. After being heated and brazed under vacuum conditions, diamond particles arranged in an orderly manner are brazed on the surface of the heat dissipation element. Since diamond has the best thermal conductivity among the current materials, it quickly absorbs the heat of the heating element and dissipates it to reduce the temperature of the heating element and keep the electronic system running normally. It can be used for cooling and dissipating the heat of the heating elements in modern electronic systems, that is, connecting the target object. Once the electronic system starts running, the temperature of the target object rises, and the heat is absorbed and quickly dissipated by the vacuum brazed orderly arranged diamond heat dissipation element to cool the target object and keep it below a safe temperature. The target object can be a CPU, chip, integrated circuit, microwave transmitter, optoelectronic device, quantum order laser or lithium ion battery system, etc.; no specific limitation is made here, and it depends on the actual situation.
[0086] Specific vacuum brazed orderly arranged diamond heat dissipation components include:
[0087] A heat sink 4 is hot-pressed from a copper sheet, and diamond particles 3 are arranged in an orderly manner. Brazing metal powder serves as the bonding layer between the diamond particles 3 and the heat sink 4. This can be copper or silver vacuum brazing powder. There are no specific restrictions here, as long as the heat conduction and bonding properties are met.
[0088] The bottom surface of the corresponding heat dissipation substrate 4 is cleaned and polished to be in close contact with the heating element;
[0089] In the prior art, diamonds in diamond heat dissipation elements are randomly arranged, resulting in uneven distribution of diamonds and increased thermal resistance. Heat dissipation is also uneven, slowing down the heat dissipation rate. For example, in high-power heating elements or after frequency acceleration, disordered diamonds are difficult to quickly slow down the temperature rise. This poses the risk of electronic system freezing and abnormal operation. The disordered arrangement of diamonds often leads to accumulation of diamond particles. Furthermore, the amount of diamonds used is high, which increases the cost and hinders their widespread application.
[0090] Therefore, in order to improve the heat dissipation effect, the heat dissipation element is fixed with orderly arranged diamond particles 3 through vacuum brazing, so that the diamond particles 3 are evenly distributed, which can increase the heat dissipation surface area; and reduce the amount of diamond used, reducing the cost of the heat dissipation element; the vacuum brazing orderly arranged diamond heat dissipation element dissipates heat evenly and quickly, slowing down the rise of the heating element, which is conducive to the normal operation of the electronic system;

[0093] In summary, vacuum-brazed heat sinks with orderly arrays of diamond particles utilize Type II diamond, boron-doped diamond, or hexaoctahedral diamond, all with extremely low thermal resistance. These diamond particles are arranged in an orderly fashion to increase the heat dissipation surface area. Heat dissipation from heat-generating objects is evenly and rapidly dissipated through the orderly array of diamond particles. Furthermore, diamond, being carbon, is environmentally friendly. Diamond usage is reduced and controllable, reducing costs and contributing to stable electronic system operation.
[0094] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
