[0054] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0055] The present invention is implemented in the hardware environment of terminal devices (such as 5G mobile phones, AI acceleration chips) or servers (such as GPU computing clusters). Its hardware architecture includes: a perception layer composed of a chip surface temperature sensor array, an internal embedded probe, and an external infrared detector, which captures surface and depth temperature data in real time; a control layer composed of edge computing terminals or servers, which fuses multi-source data to generate a three-dimensional temperature field matrix and maps it into a regional temperature field matrix based on the physical layout of the microchannel; and an execution layer formed by a main flow electric proportional valve and a branch piezoelectric microvalve array. In application, when the integrated circuit chip processes high-load applications (such as AR real-time rendering) or burst computing tasks (such as large model reasoning), dynamic thermal changes are triggered: the perception layer collects three-dimensional temperature data → the control layer calculates the regional heat load change rate in real time, generates the main flow adjustment parameters through an adaptive PID algorithm, and simultaneously solves the branch flow instructions based on the temperature gradient of adjacent regions and the pre-stored topology association table → the execution layer collaboratively triggers the main valve pressure adjustment and the branch microvalve opening adjustment to achieve precise on-demand distribution of coolant in hot spots.
[0056] In one embodiment, Figure 1As shown, a microchannel liquid cooling method for dissipating heat from integrated circuit chips is provided. This embodiment uses the method applied to an edge computing terminal as an example for illustration. It is understandable that the method can also be applied to a server, or to a system including an edge computing terminal and a server, and implemented through interaction between the terminal and the server. In this embodiment, the method includes the following steps:
[0057] S01, through the temperature sensor array, embedded temperature probe and infrared detector, real-time temperature data of the chip surface and different depths inside are collected to generate a three-dimensional temperature field matrix.
[0058] Among them, the temperature sensor array is arranged on the surface of the chip, forming a high-density temperature measurement point grid, covering the plane temperature distribution (two-dimensional planar data). The embedded temperature probe is vertically inserted into the chip at a preset depth to directly measure the core area temperature at different depths (depth direction data). The infrared detector non-contact scans the chip surface and packaging layer (two-dimensional planar data, which can be complementary or corrected with the sensor array data). Based on the spatial position information of the sensor, the temperature data is mapped to the corresponding three-dimensional coordinate points. Through the three-dimensional interpolation algorithm, the plane temperature distribution and the mapped depth temperature data are used to generate a three-dimensional temperature field matrix covering the entire three-dimensional space of the chip. Through the spatiotemporal synchronous data fusion of heterogeneous sensors (array + probe + infrared), the real-time reconstruction of the full-domain three-dimensional thermal field of the integrated circuit chip is achieved, overcoming the perception blind spots and dynamic response lag defects of traditional solutions in the depth dimension.
[0059] S02, performing regional division according to the physical layout of the microchannels of the chip and combining it with the three-dimensional temperature field matrix to generate a regional temperature field matrix.
[0060] The initial mesh is constructed based on the distributed topology of the chip's microchannel physical layout. The microchannel entrance and exit areas and bends are re-encrypted and adjusted. The mesh density in non-microchannel areas is adjusted based on the temperature gradient amplitude of the three-dimensional temperature field matrix. The three-dimensional temperature field data is mapped onto the adjusted and optimized mesh to generate a regional temperature field matrix. Partitioning based on microchannel topology constraints resolves the mismatch between high-temperature areas and microchannel positions caused by fixed mesh partitioning. A two-stage mesh optimization process: coarse-grained optimization based on physical structure in the first stage and fine-grained correction based on real-time thermal gradients in the second stage resolves the conflict between computational efficiency and accuracy.
[0061] S03, calculating the heat load change rate of the regional temperature field matrix, and generating the main flow adjustment parameter using a PID algorithm according to the heat load change rate.
[0062] The system extracts the temperature change (heat load change rate) of each region over successive time steps from the regional temperature field matrix, and dynamically adjusts the parameters of the PID algorithm: For the proportional coefficient, the control strength is dynamically increased or decreased based on the real-time gradient of the heat load change rate; for the integral coefficient, the integral effect is automatically reduced when the regional temperature changes suddenly to prevent control overshoot; for the differential coefficient, the anti-interference capability is adaptively enhanced based on the thermal coupling strength between regions, and a main inlet flow adjustment command (such as valve opening percentage) is generated as the overall control benchmark for the fluid network. By dynamically reconstructing PID control parameters through real-time analysis of the heat load change rate, an adaptive control mechanism is established that combines load trend prediction capabilities with multi-region collaborative stability, fundamentally addressing the response lag and oscillation issues in dynamic thermal management.
[0063] S04, based on the main flow regulation parameters, combined with the adjacent area temperature field matrix and the pre-built topology association table, the branch flow regulation parameters are calculated, and the main flow regulation parameters and the branch flow regulation parameters are merged to generate a flow regulation amount instruction.
[0064] Among them, the main flow regulation parameter serves as the total inlet flow / pressure regulation benchmark, the temperature field matrix of adjacent regions contains the temperature gradient distribution between regions, and the pre-constructed topology association table is constructed through the microchannel network structure parameter database. The heat flow transfer coefficient is generated according to the temperature gradient of the adjacent regions, and based on the branch resistance characteristics (pipe diameter / length / number of bends) recorded in the topology table, the main inlet pressure change is distributed to each branch according to the thermal coupling strength, and the branch flow regulation parameter is calculated. According to the global flow benchmark provided by the main parameters, the local heat load matching is performed in combination with the branch parameters to generate an independent flow regulation amount for each microchannel branch (such as the piezoelectric valve opening instruction). Through the coupling of heat-flow-topology ternary data and the hierarchical fusion of main branch parameters, the non-homogeneous and precise control of microchannel flow is achieved, breaking through the technical bottleneck of the disconnection between global flow and local heat demand in traditional heat dissipation.
[0065] The above-mentioned microchannel liquid cooling method for integrated circuit chip heat dissipation uses the collaborative sensing of a temperature sensor array, an embedded temperature probe, and an infrared detector to collect temperature data at different depths on the chip surface and inside in real time and generate a three-dimensional temperature field matrix. This solves the perception blind spot problem caused by relying on a small number of points or average temperatures in traditional technologies and realizes comprehensive dynamic monitoring of the chip's entire three-dimensional thermal field. By combining the regional division of the microchannel physical layout, the three-dimensional temperature field is mapped into a regional temperature field matrix, providing a spatially precisely matched partitioning basis for thermal management and overcoming the defect of the disconnection between fixed grid partitioning and microchannel location. The main flow regulation parameters are generated using a dynamically corrected PID algorithm based on the regional heat load change rate. The proportional, integral, and differential coefficients are adaptively adjusted through real-time derivatives and regional temperature changes to improve the response speed and control stability to the chip's dynamic load and avoid the lag and oscillation of static strategies. By integrating the main flow regulation parameters, the temperature gradients of adjacent regions, and a fluid network model with a topological association table, the branch flow regulation parameters are calculated and instructions are generated to achieve precise distribution of microchannel network flow according to heat distribution requirements, solving the core problem of the disconnection between fluid distribution and heat demand. The above technical steps work together to achieve dynamic and precise control of chip heat dissipation, improving heat dissipation efficiency and temperature uniformity under complex thermal load fluctuations.
[0066] In one embodiment, performing regional division according to the physical layout of the microchannels of the chip and combining it with a three-dimensional temperature field matrix to generate a regional temperature field matrix includes:
[0067] S11, generating a first grid based on the distribution topology of the physical layout of the microchannels of the chip;
[0068] S12, performing local mesh encryption on the entrance and exit areas and the bend area of the microchannel in the first mesh to obtain a second mesh;
[0069] S13, adjusting the grid density of the non-microchannel area in the second grid according to the temperature gradient amplitude in the three-dimensional temperature field matrix to obtain a third grid;
[0070] S14, mapping the three-dimensional temperature field matrix to the third grid to generate a regional temperature field matrix.
[0071] Specifically, a first grid is generated based on the distributed topology of the microchannel's physical layout, matching the actual spatial position and structure of the microchannel. Local mesh encryption is performed on the microchannel's entrance and exit areas and bends to generate a second grid, improving the resolution of key areas for fluid turbulence effects and heat exchange, and avoiding the numerical distortion of traditional uniform grids in areas with sudden flow field changes. Based on the temperature gradient amplitude of the three-dimensional temperature field matrix, the grid is refined in highly thermally sensitive areas where the temperature gradient is above the threshold, and moderately coarsened in areas with gentle gradients, resulting in a third grid that matches computing resources with thermal field analysis requirements. The three-dimensional temperature field matrix is mapped to the optimized third grid, coupling the temperature data with the microchannel topology in physical space, laying the data structure foundation for subsequent precise flow control. Through a three-level progressive grid generation mechanism of physical structure drive → key area enhancement → thermal field feedback optimization, the regional temperature field matrix's ability to characterize the chip's true thermal distribution is improved.
[0072] In one embodiment, the heat load change rate is calculated based on the regional temperature field matrix, and the main flow adjustment parameter is generated using a PID algorithm according to the heat load change rate, including:
[0073] S21, based on the regional temperature field matrix, uses the formula Calculate the heat load change rate, where R th represents the rate of change of heat load, c is the specific heat capacity of coolant, m p is the coolant mass in area p, ΔT p is the regional temperature change;
[0074] S22, real-time derivative of the rate of change of heat load and regional temperature change ΔT p , adjust PID parameters in, and are the initial proportional, integral and differential coefficients respectively, K p (t), K i (t) and K d (t) represents the proportional, integral, and differential coefficients, γ and λ are correction factors, and η p is the regional thermal coupling coefficient;
[0075] S23, using the corrected PID parameters, adopt the formula Generate the main flow adjustment parameter, where u(t) represents the main flow adjustment parameter, e(t) is the error between the target temperature and the measured temperature, K p (t), K i (t) and K d (t) represent the proportional, integral and differential coefficients respectively.
[0076] For example, in calculating the heat load change rate, the coolant specific heat capacity c and the coolant mass m in area p are p is the physical property parameter, the regional temperature change ΔT p The time series data directly comes from the regional temperature field matrix, and the physical mapping relationship between temperature change and heat load is established; the thermodynamic dynamic response mechanism is introduced, through Adaptive correction PID parameters: K p (t) Real-time derivative of the rate of change of heat load Dynamic amplification ratio effect, when the thermal load rises rapidly (such as sudden computing load of the chip), the control intensity is automatically increased to improve the response speed; K i (t) According to the total amount of regional temperature mutation (∑|ΔT p |)’s exponential decay integral function avoids integral saturation and system oscillation caused by sudden temperature rise in multiple regions; K d (t) Based on the regional thermal coupling coefficient η p The statistical mean value of the differential function is adjusted to enhance the anti-interference ability in the area of intensive thermal interaction; the modified PID parameters are used through the classic PID algorithm Generate the main flow regulation parameter u(t), and based on the three-level optimization mechanism of real-time analysis of heat load change rate → dynamic reconstruction of control parameters → multi-physical field coupling feedback, upgrade the traditional PID static control to intelligent control with predictive, anti-interference and collaborative capabilities.
[0077] In one embodiment, the branch flow regulation parameters are calculated based on the main flow regulation parameters in combination with the adjacent area temperature field matrix and the pre-built topological association table, including:
[0078] S31, based on the gradient distribution data in the temperature field matrix of the adjacent regions, construct a microchannel topology association table, the topology association table records: the resistance coefficient α, the pipe diameter d and the length l of each branch;
[0079] S32, using the temperature field matrix of adjacent regions to generate the inter-region thermal coupling coefficient β of each branch;
[0080] S33, calculating the fluid network inlet pressure change ΔP0(t)=u(t)·ρ·c based on the main flow adjustment parameter u(t), where ρ is the coolant density and c is the coolant specific heat capacity;
[0081] S34, based on the inlet pressure change ΔP0(t) and the topology association table parameters, the branch flow regulation amount is calculated using the following fluid network model coupled with the temperature field data:
[0082]
[0083] Where Δq jrepresents the flow regulation of branch j, ΔP0(t) represents the inlet pressure change, j represents the branch number, β j represents the inter-region thermal coupling coefficient with branch j, α j represents the fluid resistance coefficient of branch j, d j Indicates the pipe diameter of branch j, l j represents the length of branch j.
[0084] Specifically, the resistance coefficient α of each branch (obtained through CFD simulation or experimental calibration based on the geometric shape of the branch (such as bend angle, roughness) and fluid characteristics (such as Reynolds number)), the pipe diameter d and length l (physical size parameters extracted from the chip microchannel design drawings) respectively represent the flow resistance characteristics of the branch (including the influence of bend angle / roughness) and the geometric size and spatial scale of the branch. The physical structural parameters of the microchannel network are formed into a topological association table for subsequent fluid resistance calculation; the temperature gradient amplitude of the region where each branch is located in the temperature field matrix of the adjacent region is extracted to generate the inter-region thermal coupling coefficient β (the weighted average of the temperature gradient difference between the region where the branch is located and the adjacent region, and the weight is determined by the spatial distance between the regions (such as the length of the heat conduction path)); the main flow regulation instruction is converted into a pressure control benchmark for the fluid network through the formula ΔP0(t)=u(t)·ρ·c, and the pressure drive of the entire microchannel network can be achieved by changing the main valve opening; according to the fluid network model Combined with the heat load and fluid resistance characteristics, the branch flow is accurately distributed: the inlet pressure change ΔP0(t) provides the fluid driving energy and the thermal coupling coefficient β between the regions of branch j j Characterizes the weight of heat load demand on flow, branch resistance factor Reflects the obstruction of pipe diameter, length and resistance coefficient on flow (the larger the pipe diameter and the shorter the length, the smaller the resistance and the greater the flow regulation); thermal coupling coefficient β j The larger the branch, the more flow regulation Δq is obtained. j The larger the value, the higher the heat dissipation demand of the high heat load area will be met first; combined with the topological resistance parameter α j 、l j and d j Ensure that flow distribution complies with the laws of fluid mechanics to avoid pressure imbalance. Through the main flow reference + branch dynamic allocation, precise flow control of the microchannel liquid cooling system is achieved, improving chip heat dissipation efficiency and temperature uniformity.
[0085] In one embodiment, the method further comprises:
[0086] S41, dividing the microchannel structure of the chip into a surface channel layer, a middle channel layer, and a deep channel layer along the depth direction;
[0087] S42, combining the three-dimensional temperature field matrix, respectively calculating the temperature gradient amplitude of each channel layer in the corresponding grid of the regional temperature field matrix;
[0088] S43, when the temperature gradient amplitude of a certain channel layer in a certain area exceeds a preset threshold, it is determined that a concentrated heat source exists in the area and its corresponding channel layer;
[0089] S44, adjusting the topology association table parameters according to the area and channel layer of the concentrated heat source.
[0090] Specifically, the microchannels can be divided into surface, middle, and deep channel layers based on the vertical depth of the chip microchannels from the surface and a preset depth threshold of the chip's three-dimensional structure. After stratification, differentiated control can be implemented for the heat source characteristics (such as heat conduction path and heat dissipation efficiency) at different depths, especially to enhance the response capability to deep heat sources. The temperature gradient amplitude of the three-dimensional temperature field matrix is calculated using numerical differentiation within the corresponding grid of each channel layer. The three-dimensional temperature field matrix is mapped to the grid of the regional temperature field matrix, and the temperature gradient amplitude of each grid point is extracted according to the surface, middle, and deep channel layers to form a layered temperature gradient distribution. A preset temperature gradient threshold (such as 5°C / μm, determined through thermal simulation or experiment based on parameters such as chip material thermal conductivity and maximum allowable temperature) is set. If the temperature gradient amplitude of a certain region or channel layer exceeds the preset threshold, it is determined that a concentrated heat source exists in that region and is recorded as a heat source point. Based on the depth and location of the heat source, the microchannel fluid parameters can be dynamically optimized by calculating the control priority factor and dynamically updating the topological parameters to achieve directional distribution of the coolant. Through the closed-loop control of hierarchical perception-gradient judgment-topology optimization, dynamic response to the three-dimensional thermal field of the chip is achieved, which is particularly suitable for deep heat source cooling scenarios of highly integrated chips such as 3DIC chips.
[0091] In one embodiment, the microchannel structure of the chip is divided into a surface channel layer, a middle channel layer, and a deep channel layer along the depth direction, including S51, and each channel layer is layered according to the following definitions:
[0092] Surface channel layer: microchannels with a depth ≤ D1 from the chip surface;
[0093] Middle channel layer: microchannels with depth ∈ (D1, D2];
[0094] Deep channel layer: microchannels with depth > D2;
[0095] Where D1 and D2 are depth thresholds preset according to the three-dimensional structure of the chip.
[0096] Specifically, according to the vertical depth of the microchannels from the chip surface in the three-dimensional chip structure, two depth thresholds D1 and D2 (D1 < D2) are preset to divide the microchannels into three layers: the surface channel layer, which includes microchannels with a depth from the chip surface ≤ D1 and is directly adjacent to the heat source on the chip surface (such as the top transistor array), with a short heat conduction path; the middle channel layer, which includes microchannels with a depth ∈ (D1, D2], covering the medium-depth area inside the chip (such as the multi-layer interconnect structure); the deep channel layer, which includes microchannels with a depth > D2, corresponding to the chip core buried layer (such as the bottom devices and power layer in 3DIC stacking), with a large heat conduction resistance. The determination method of the thresholds D1 and D2 is as follows: Based on the thermal conductivity of the chip material (such as the thermal conductivity of silicon), the distribution of device layers (such as the thickness of the transistor layer and metal interconnect layer), and the heat dissipation requirements, through thermal simulation or experimental calibration: D1 is usually set to the main influence depth of the surface heat source (such as 50 - 100 μm); D2 is set to the typical distribution depth of the deep heat source (such as buried devices) (such as 150 - 300 μm).
[0097] In one embodiment, adjusting the parameters of the topological association table includes:
[0098] S61, using the following formula to generate a regulation priority factor:
