TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of chip heat dissipation, and particularly relates to a non-embedded integrated chip heat dissipation testing device. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the semiconductor manufacturing process continuously approaching the physical limit, the chip integration level is exponentially increasing. In the 5nm and below advanced process, the transistor density has broken through 300 million per square millimeter, causing the unit area power consumption to surge. According to IEEE data, the heat flux density of high-end CPU / GPU chips has soared from 50W / cm 2 in 2010 to the current 300W / cm 2 , and is expected to break through 1000W / cm 2 in 2030. At the same time, high-power devices such as artificial intelligence training chips and high-performance computing accelerators are continuously emerging, with single-chip power consumption breaking through 700W, and the heat management pressure has been upgraded from a "performance constraint factor" to a "system failure main factor".
[0003] The current mainstream solution adopts micro-channel direct etching on the chip packaging substrate, which can achieve a heat dissipation capacity of 150-200W / cm 2 , but has fatal defects: the flow channel design needs to match the chip layout, and each chip needs to develop a separate heat dissipation module, with a development cycle of 6-8 months; the cooling liquid and the chip circuit are separated by only an insulation layer of <100μm, and micro-leakage can cause the entire machine to be damaged; the heat dissipation structure is permanently bound to the chip, and the efficiency of different cooling strategies cannot be evaluated.
[0004] The external heat sink has insufficient efficiency, and the air cooling / heat pipe solution faces three ceilings: it needs to cross four interfaces (chip-solder-substrate-thermal paste) from the chip to the heat dissipation fin, with a cumulative thermal resistance of >0.5℃ / W, resulting in a virtual core temperature of 20~30℃; the external thermocouple temperature measurement point is >5mm away from the chip core, with a response delay of more than 10 seconds, which cannot capture transient hot spots; the rectangular heat dissipation base causes the edge area to have a 40% reduction in heat dissipation efficiency, inducing chip corner burning.
[0005] The existing heat dissipation testing device generally has two major faults: the traditional clamp only supports the installation of a single heat sink, and the replacement scheme needs to disassemble the entire machine, resulting in low testing efficiency; temperature collection relies on external sensors or infrared thermometers, with a spatial resolution of >1mm 2 , and a temperature measurement error of ±3℃.
[0006] The semiconductor industry is trapped in a "heat dissipation-performance" cycle, and it is urgent to develop a testing platform with high universality, precise heat monitoring, and active heat dissipation optimization to break the traditional path of "designing chips first and then adapting heat dissipation", and to provide a full-cycle heat management solution for high-power chips.

The components are sequentially stacked and sealed by means of silicone gaskets or bonding. The supporting base 1 is provided with the cooling liquid inlet and outlet base plate 3, and the cooling liquid inlet and outlet base plate 3 is provided with the manifold layer structure 5, and the two are sealingly connected. The manifold layer structure 5 is bonded with the micro flow channel layer structure 6, and the temperature sensor integrated on the micro flow channel layer structure 6 is connected to the temperature measurement PCB 7 for signal acquisition. The chip to be tested 8 is arranged above the micro flow channel layer structure 6 (and can be selectively replaced), and the chip to be tested 8 is powered and signal inputted through the electrical connection PCB 9, so that the normal work of the chip to be tested 8 is ensured. The fastening cover plate 10 and the bolts 11 are combined to realize fastening connection and sealing of the whole heat dissipation test device.
[0040] The supporting base 1 is provided with a sealing groove, and the silicone substrate 2 and the sealing groove are sealed by the cooling liquid inlet and outlet base plate 3, and the silicone substrate 2 and the sealing groove have the same area. The supporting base 1 is used for providing support and fixation for the whole heat dissipation test, and four threaded holes are formed in the periphery, and the threaded holes are fastened and connected by bolts.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 3 The cooling liquid inlet and outlet base plate 3 comprises a cooling liquid inlet 31 and a cooling liquid outlet 33 for feeding the cooling liquid into the test device, so that the cooling liquid is circulated and radiated smoothly. The cooling liquid inlet 31 is located on the side surface of the cooling liquid inlet and outlet base plate 3, and the cooling liquid outlet 33 is located on the bottom surface of the cooling liquid inlet and outlet base plate 3. After the cooling working medium enters from the cooling liquid inlet 31, the cooling working medium is branched to two inlet ports of the manifold layer structure 5.

On the left side of the center line, the inlet flow channel 51 is a tapered structure gradually narrowing along the flow direction of the cooling liquid, and the outlet flow channel 52 is a tapered structure gradually expanding along the flow direction of the cooling liquid.

[0048] The micro-channel layer structure 6 and the manifold layer structure 5 are sealingly connected by silicon-silicon bonding. As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Pt resistance is used as the material of the temperature sensor. The upper surface of the micro-channel layer structure 6 is integrated with a plurality of temperature sensor units 62 for characterizing the temperature performance of the chip 8 to be tested. The temperature sensor units 62 are connected to the temperature measurement PCB 7 by wire bonding for signal acquisition. Four through holes are formed on the temperature measurement PCB 7, and the size and position thereof are adapted to the four threaded holes of the cooling liquid inlet and outlet base plate 3. The chip 8 to be tested is arranged above the micro-channel layer structure 6, and the chip 8 to be tested is connected to the micro-channel layer structure 6 through heat-conducting silicone grease or silica gel.

[0051] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0052] In the prior art, the continuous development of semiconductor manufacturing processes greatly improves the chip integration, and the heat flux density of advanced process chips increases sharply, so that the traditional heat dissipation scheme faces multiple challenges. The method of etching micro-channels directly on the chip packaging substrate has defects such as long research and development cycle, high leakage risk, and unchangeable structure; the external heat sink causes temperature measurement error due to thermal resistance accumulation, and cannot capture transient thermal changes. The test device generally has the problems of fixed structure and insufficient temperature collection accuracy, which is difficult to meet the heat dissipation test demand of high-power chips.
[0053] In order to solve the above problems, the researchers found that the existing heat dissipation test device cannot realize modular replacement, resulting in low test efficiency. Through analysis, it is found that the permanent binding of the heat dissipation structure and the chip limits the evaluation of different cooling strategies. Further research shows that the external temperature sensor causes response delay due to being too far away from the core of the chip. Based on this, it is proposed to decompose the heat dissipation structure into detachable modules, integrate the temperature sensor in the micro-channel layer, and build a multi-layer sealed structure to realize rapid assembly and accurate temperature measurement.
[0054] Therefore, the present application proposes a heat dissipation test device comprising a support base, a cooling liquid inlet and outlet substrate, a manifold layer structure, a micro-channel layer structure, a temperature measurement PCB board, an electrical connection PCB board and a fastening assembly. The support base provides overall bearing function, and the cooling liquid inlet and outlet substrate is provided with an inlet and an outlet to realize working medium circulation. The inlet and outlet are arranged on the bottom surface of the manifold layer, and the liquid inlet channel and the liquid outlet channel are alternately arranged on the upper surface. The micro-channel layer is connected to the manifold layer by bonding and sealing, and the bottom surface is provided with a rectangular micro-channel connected to the flow channel, and the upper surface is integrated with a temperature sensor unit. The temperature measurement PCB board connects the sensor to collect signals, and the electrical connection PCB board supplies power to the chip. The fastening cover plate tightly seals the layers of structures by bolts, and the manifold layer and the micro-channel layer are detachable independent modules.
[0055] The support base refers to the basic structure that bears the entire device, which can be realized by processing metal plates, and plays a role in stable support and force transmission. The cooling liquid inlet and outlet base plate refers to a plate-shaped structure with a fluid channel, which can be manufactured by injection molding process, and is used to distribute the flow direction of the cooling working medium. The manifold layer structure refers to an intermediate layer with multiple channel distribution, which can be processed by photoetching process to realize uniform distribution of the cooling liquid. The micro-channel layer structure refers to a heat dissipation layer containing micro-channels, which can be manufactured by silicon-based MEMS process to enhance heat exchange efficiency through micro-channels. The temperature sensor unit refers to a temperature measuring element integrated in the micro-channel layer, which can be prepared by thin film platinum resistance to realize direct measurement of the surface temperature of the chip. The fastening cover plate refers to a top component that applies pressure, which can be processed by a numerical control machine tool to ensure sealing between layers by bolt pre-tightening force.
[0056] Specifically, the cooling liquid enters the manifold layer from the inlet of the inlet and outlet base plate, is distributed to the rectangular channels of the micro-channel layer through the tapered liquid inlet flow channel. After the fluid absorbs the heat of the chip in the micro-channel, it returns to the outlet of the manifold layer through the liquid outlet flow channel. The temperature sensor unit directly contacts the lower surface of the chip, collects temperature data in real time and outputs through the PCB board. The layers are sealed by bolt compression, and the detachable module design allows quick replacement of the manifold layer and micro-channel layer with different flow channel configurations. The inlet and outlet base plates made of transparent material facilitate observation of the fluid state, and the silicone gasket and substrate ensure the reliability of the interlayer sealing.
[0057] Compared with the prior art, the traditional scheme needs to disassemble the whole machine to replace the heat dissipation module, while the present scheme realizes quick configuration switching through the detachable manifold layer and micro-channel layer. The existing device relies on external sensors, resulting in temperature measurement delay, while the present scheme integrates the temperature sensor on the upper surface of the micro-channel layer, directly contacts the chip and obtains real-time data. The conventional heat dissipation test fixture adopts a monolithic structure, and the present scheme supports independent verification of multiple cooling strategies through a layered modular design.
[0058] Through the above technical scheme, the present application realizes the modular reconstruction of the heat dissipation test device, significantly shortens the verification period of different heat dissipation schemes. The integrated temperature sensor eliminates the measurement delay of the traditional external probe, improves the capture ability of transient thermal changes. The layered sealing structure ensures reliability while allowing individual replacement of specific functional modules, reducing test cost. The detachable design enables the same device to adapt to multiple chip specifications, expanding the application range of the test platform.
[0059] The present application further proposes a non-embedded integrated chip heat dissipation test device, which comprises a tapered structure of the inlet flow channel gradually shrinking along the flow direction of the cooling liquid, a tapered structure of the outlet flow channel gradually expanding along the flow direction of the cooling liquid, and the width of the two outlet flow channels at both ends of the manifold layer structure is half of the width of the middle outlet flow channel.
[0060] The taper structure of the inlet liquid flow channel refers to a geometric shape in which the cross-sectional size gradually decreases from the inlet end to the outlet end, and can be specifically implemented by using linear or nonlinear contraction of the flow channel wall surface design to accelerate the cooling liquid flow rate and improve local heat exchange efficiency.
[0061] The taper structure of the outlet liquid flow channel refers to a geometric shape in which the cross-sectional size gradually increases from the inlet end to the outlet end, and can be specifically implemented by using a gradually expanding flow channel cross-sectional change to balance the system pressure distribution by reducing the flow resistance.
[0062] The width of the two end outlet liquid flow channels is half of the width of the middle outlet liquid flow channel, which means that the two outlet liquid flow channels located at the edges of the manifold layer structure have a size that is half of the size of the middle region flow channel in the vertical direction of the flow direction. This can be specifically implemented by adjusting the photolithography mask pattern or micro-machining parameters to compensate for the uneven distribution of cooling liquid flow in the edge region.
[0063] Specifically, the taper design of the inlet liquid flow channel forms a stable laminar flow state before the cooling liquid enters the micro-channel layer, avoiding turbulence loss caused by sudden changes in flow rate. The expanding taper structure of the outlet liquid flow channel reduces the backflow pressure drop through the gradually expanding flow channel cross-section, preventing local pressure accumulation that causes cooling liquid to stagnate. For the outlet liquid flow channels at the two ends of the manifold layer structure, the width reduction design can offset the excess flow phenomenon caused by the edge effect, making the cooling liquid discharge rate of each outlet liquid flow channel consistent, thereby eliminating the temperature gradient on the chip surface.
[0064] Compared with the prior art, the flow channel of the traditional heat dissipation device usually adopts an equal cross-section rectangular design, resulting in uneven distribution of cooling liquid flow rate during flow, and vortex or dead zone is easily formed in the edge region. The taper flow channel structure of the present application optimizes the dynamic characteristics of the cooling liquid through the continuous change of the flow channel cross-section, and the width adjustment of the two end outlet liquid flow channels specifically solves the flow distribution problem in the edge region of the heat dissipation module.
[0065] Through the above technical solutions, the present application effectively improves the uniformity of the cooling liquid flow in the manifold layer, reduces the risk of local hot spot formation caused by flow rate differences, and reduces the overall pressure drop of the cooling system, so that the heat dissipation test device can more accurately simulate the real thermal load state of high-power chips.
[0066] The present application further proposes that the ratio of the middle width to the two end widths of the inlet liquid flow channel is 1:2, and the ratio of the middle width to the two end widths of the outlet liquid flow channel is 2:1.
[0067] The ratio of the middle width of the liquid inlet channel to the width of both ends is 1:2, which means that the cross section of the channel presents a gradually changing shape with a narrow middle and wide ends along the fluid direction. Specifically, a tapered transition structure can be used to achieve this, and the uniform flow velocity distribution of the cooling liquid before entering the micro-channel layer is achieved by the gradient change of the cross-sectional area of the channel. The ratio of the middle width of the liquid outlet channel to the width of both ends is 2:1, which means that the cross section of the channel presents a gradually changing shape with a wide middle and narrow ends along the fluid direction. Specifically, an inverted tapered structure can be used to achieve this, and the fluid resistance is reduced by expanding the cross-sectional area of the middle part of the channel to promote the convergence of the cooling liquid from multiple branches at the outlet.
[0068] Specifically, during the cooling liquid circulation process, the liquid inlet channel adopts a tapered design with a narrow middle and wide ends, so that the flow velocity gradually decreases when the cooling liquid is divided from the inlet to both sides, avoiding local vortex caused by sudden change of flow velocity; the liquid outlet channel adopts an inverted tapered design with a wide middle and narrow ends, so that the flow velocity of the cooling liquid from each branch tends to be consistent before converging into the outlet, eliminating pressure oscillation caused by flow velocity difference. The structure realizes the laminar flow distribution of the cooling medium in the channel layer through the asymmetric change of the cross section of the channel, thereby improving the measurement stability of the temperature sensor unit in the micro-channel layer.
[0069] Compared with the prior art, the flow channel of the traditional heat dissipation test device usually adopts an equal cross section or a symmetrically changing design, which causes turbulent flow of the cooling liquid during the division process due to uneven flow velocity, resulting in temperature sensor signal fluctuation. The present scheme solves the temperature measurement error problem caused by unstable flow state by designing an asymmetric cross section of the flow channel while effectively suppressing fluid disturbance and maintaining compact structure.
[0070] Through the above technical scheme, the present application can make the cooling liquid form a stable laminar flow state when flowing through the surface of the chip to be tested, ensuring that the temperature data captured by the temperature sensor unit truly reflects the thermal distribution characteristics of each region of the chip, and providing a high-precision experimental data basis for evaluating different heat dissipation strategies.
[0071] The present application further proposes that the temperature sensor unit integrated with the micro-channel layer structure is a Pt resistance temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor unit is welded to the temperature measurement PCB board through a lead.
[0072] The Pt resistance temperature sensor refers to an element for temperature measurement based on the principle that the resistance value of platinum metal changes with temperature. Specifically, it can be integrated on the surface of the micro-channel layer by thin film deposition process, and its linearity and stability can meet the temperature monitoring requirements in a small space.
[0073] The lead welding refers to the electrical connection between the sensor electrode and the PCB pad by hot pressing welding or ultrasonic welding process. Specifically, gold wire bonding technology can be used to achieve this, which can ensure the establishment of a reliable signal transmission path in a small space.
[0074] Specifically, the Pt resistance temperature sensor array is directly integrated on the upper surface of the micro-channel layer structure by a semiconductor process, so as to form a coplanar contact with the chip heat generation area. When the chip to be measured is working, the resistance value of the Pt resistance changes due to the temperature change, and the change signal is transmitted to the signal conditioning circuit of the temperature measurement PCB board through the bonding wire, and the digital temperature data is output after analog-digital conversion. The integrated design of the sensor unit and the micro-channel layer shortens the distance between the temperature collection point and the chip heat source to the sub-millimeter level, and the soldered signal transmission path effectively avoids the measurement error caused by the contact resistance.
[0075] Compared with the prior art, the traditional scheme adopts an external thermocouple or an infrared thermal imager for temperature collection. The thermocouple needs to be installed through the heat dissipation structure, which leads to a large distance between the temperature measurement point and the chip core. The infrared thermal imager is limited by the light transmittance of the transparent material and the calibration error of the surface emissivity. The present scheme realizes in-situ multi-point temperature monitoring by directly integrating the Pt sensor array while maintaining the integrity of the heat dissipation structure, and the soldered signal transmission mode eliminates the signal distortion caused by poor contact.
[0076] Through the above technical scheme, the present application realizes high-precision real-time monitoring of the temperature distribution on the chip surface, solves the temperature data distortion problem caused by the position deviation of the temperature measurement point and the signal transmission interference in the prior art, and provides accurate temperature field data support for optimizing the flow channel design and cooling strategy of the heat dissipation structure.
[0077] The present application further proposes a non-embedded integrated chip heat dissipation test device, which comprises a cooling liquid inlet and outlet base plate, and a manifold layer structure embedded in a sealing groove in the middle of the cooling liquid inlet and outlet base plate.
[0078] The sealing groove refers to a recess structure arranged in the middle of the cooling liquid inlet and outlet base plate, which can be realized by machining or injection molding process, and is used for positioning and fixing the manifold layer structure and forming a sealing interface.
[0079] The embedded manifold layer structure refers to embedding the manifold layer structure into the sealing groove, which can be realized by interference fit or positioning pin, to ensure the accurate docking of the cooling liquid flow channel and the base plate interface.
[0080] The cooling liquid inlet side arrangement refers to arranging the inlet channel on the side wall of the base plate, which can be formed by drilling or milling process, facilitating external pipeline connection and not affecting the flatness of the base plate surface.
[0081] The cooling liquid outlet bottom arrangement refers to arranging the outlet channel on the bottom of the base plate, which can be realized by a vertical through-hole structure, so that the cooling liquid is directly discharged downward to avoid horizontal flow interference.
[0082] Specifically, the cooling liquid enters and exits the base plate through the sealing groove in the middle of the manifold layer structure, which realizes the modular installation of the manifold layer structure. When a manifold layer with a different flow channel design is needed, the original module can be removed from the groove and replaced with a new module. After the cooling liquid enters from the inlet on the side of the base plate, it is uniformly transported along the distribution channel on the edge of the sealing groove to the manifold layer. The cooling liquid that has completed heat exchange is vertically discharged through the outlet at the bottom of the base plate. This design makes the connection interface between the manifold layer and the base plate always in a sealed space formed by the sealing groove, effectively preventing the leakage of the cooling liquid.
[0083] Compared with the prior art, the cooling flow channel of the traditional heat dissipation test device is usually formed integrally with the base plate, which causes the entire device to be disassembled when the heat dissipation module is replaced. The present application realizes the independent packaging of the manifold layer through the sealing groove, which significantly improves the module replacement efficiency while maintaining the sealing performance. In addition, the inlet and outlet of the cooling liquid in the prior art are usually arranged in the same plane, which can easily cause flow channel interference. The present application optimizes the flow path of the cooling working medium through the three-dimensional layout of the side inlet and the bottom outlet.
[0084] Through the above technical solutions, the present application realizes the quick replacement and test requirement of the heat dissipation module, and reduces the flow channel pressure drop loss through the three-dimensional distribution of the inlet and outlet structure. The cooperation design of the sealing groove and the embedded structure provides hardware support for the comparison test of different heat dissipation schemes on the basis of ensuring the interface sealing, effectively solving the problem of low test efficiency caused by the structural solidification of the traditional device.
[0085] The present application further proposes that the manifold layer structure and the cooling liquid inlet and outlet base plate are sealed by a silica gel gasket, and the support base and the cooling liquid inlet and outlet base plate are sealed by a silica gel substrate.
[0086] The silica gel gasket is a sealing material with elasticity and high temperature resistance, which can be specifically implemented by a uniformly thick molded silica gel sheet, and the surface can be designed with concave-convex textures to enhance the sealing effect of the contact surface. The silica gel substrate is a buffer layer covering the contact surface between the support base and the cooling liquid inlet and outlet base plate, which can be specifically implemented by pouring and solidifying liquid silica gel, and can compensate for the slight unevenness of the contact surface during mechanical fastening.
[0087] Specifically, the silica gel gasket is pre-installed at the assembly interface between the manifold layer structure and the cooling liquid inlet and outlet base plate, and fills the structural gap through elastic deformation during the screw fastening process, forming a full circumferential seal of the cooling liquid flow path. The silica gel substrate is laid on the upper surface of the support base, and when the cooling liquid inlet and outlet base plate is installed, the silica gel material flows and distributes uniformly under pressure, eliminating local stress concentration caused by processing errors. When the cooling liquid flows through the inlet and outlet of the manifold layer, the silica gel gasket can withstand cyclic pressure fluctuations without creep failure, and at the same time allows the manifold layer structure to be disassembled and replaced as an independent module.
[0088] Compared with the prior art, the traditional sealing mode adopts welding or glue fixing, which causes the heat dissipation module to be unable to be disassembled and has the risk of aging cracking. The combined sealing scheme of the silica gel gasket and the substrate can adapt to multiple disassembly and assembly conditions and avoid the restriction of permanent bonding on modular testing. The hard sealing interface in the prior art is prone to micro cracks under thermal cycling, and the elastic recovery characteristics of the silica gel material can effectively compensate for the thermal expansion difference.
[0089] Through the above technical solutions, the application realizes reliable sealing of the cooling liquid flow channel connection interface, prevents liquid leakage under high pressure working conditions, and at the same time maintains the quick disassembly and assembly function of the manifold layer structure and the support base. The chemical corrosion resistance of the silica gel material can be compatible with the long-term use of various cooling working media, and the elastic sealing structure reduces the assembly precision requirement, so that the test device can adapt to the quick replacement demand of different size chip heat dissipation modules.
[0090] The application further proposes that the rectangular microchannel is formed by a MEMS process; and the microchannel layer structure and the chip to be tested are connected by heat-conducting silicone grease or silica gel.
[0091] The MEMS process refers to a micro-electro-mechanical system processing technology, which can be implemented by photolithography, ion etching or chemical vapor deposition process. This technology can form a microchannel structure with high precision and complex geometry on the surface of a silicon-based material. The rectangular microchannel formed by this process has the characteristics of high size consistency and low surface roughness, which is beneficial to the uniformity control of the cooling liquid flow. The heat-conducting silicone grease or silica gel refers to an interface filling material with high thermal conductivity, which can be implemented by adding aluminum oxide or boron nitride particles to an organic silicon compound. This material can fill the micro gaps on the contact surface between the microchannel layer structure and the chip, and reduce the interface contact thermal resistance.
[0092] Specifically, the rectangular microchannel of the microchannel layer structure is patterned on a silicon substrate by a MEMS process. First, silicon dioxide is deposited on the surface of the silicon wafer as a mask layer, and a deep reactive ion etching technology is used to form a rectangular groove structure with vertical side walls. When the microchannel layer is assembled with the chip to be tested, heat-conducting silicone grease or silica gel material is coated on the contact surface, and the pressure generated by the bolt fastening makes the interface material uniformly extend to form a continuous heat conduction path. When the cooling liquid flows in the rectangular microchannel, heat is transferred from the chip to the microchannel layer through the heat-conducting interface, and then taken away by the working medium through convective heat transfer.
[0093] Compared with the prior art, the traditional micro-channel processing adopts a laser etching or mechanical milling process, and has problems of large channel size deviation and high surface roughness, resulting in uneven flow resistance distribution. The scheme can realize sub-micron level processing precision by adopting the MEMS process, and ensure the geometric parameter consistency of each micro-channel. In the prior art, the chip and the heat dissipation structure are directly pressed, and there are a large number of air gaps in the actual contact surface, and the scheme fills the interface gap through heat-conducting silicone grease or silica gel, which significantly improves the heat transfer efficiency.
[0094] Through the above technical scheme, the application realizes precise machining of the micro-channel structure and reliable thermal interface connection, effectively reduces the risk of local overheating caused by uneven flow, and improves the heat transfer efficiency from the chip to the cooling working medium. The scheme can adapt to the test requirements of different size chips and avoid the problem of temperature measurement distortion caused by high contact thermal resistance.
[0095] The application further proposes that the support base and the fastening cover plate are made of stainless steel material, the cooling liquid inlet and outlet substrate is made of transparent resin or acrylic material, and the manifold layer structure and the micro-channel layer structure are made of silicon material.
[0096] The stainless steel material refers to a metal material with high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, which can be realized by using 304 stainless steel or 316L stainless steel. The high rigidity can ensure that the deformation of the multi-layer structure is controlled within microns when fastening, and can resist chemical corrosion of the cooling liquid. The transparent resin or acrylic material refers to a high polymer with optical transparency, which can be realized by using polycarbonate or polymethyl methacrylate. The light transmission allows real-time observation of the cooling liquid flow state and bubble generation. The silicon material refers to a single crystal silicon or polycrystalline silicon material, which can be realized by using a semiconductor grade silicon wafer processed by a micro-electro-mechanical system process. The thermal expansion coefficient matches the chip substrate, which can avoid the interface stress caused by temperature change.
[0097] Specifically, the support base and the fastening cover plate are made of stainless steel material. When uniform pressure is applied by bolts, the high yield strength of stainless steel can prevent sealing failure caused by deformation of the threaded hole. The cooling liquid inlet and outlet substrate is made of transparent resin or acrylic material. During the cooling liquid circulation process, the operator can directly detect whether there are foreign matter blockage or phase change in the flow channel by visual inspection. The manifold layer structure and the micro-channel layer structure are made of silicon material, and the surface roughness can be controlled within nanometers. When the micro-channel layer structure is bonded, a gapless sealing interface can be formed, and the high thermal conductivity of silicon is beneficial to heat transfer from the chip to be tested to the cooling working medium.
[0098] Compared with the prior art, the support structure of the conventional heat dissipation test device is mostly made of aluminum alloy or engineering plastic. The former is prone to plastic deformation after long-term compression, and the latter has poor thermal stability. The existing cooling liquid cavity generally adopts a metal casting process, which cannot realize visual monitoring of the flow channel, while the transparent resin substrate used in the present application can simultaneously realize structural strength and observation function. The existing manifold structure is mostly made of copper or stainless steel, and its machining precision is difficult to meet the micro-flow channel matching requirements. The application of silicon material enables the micro-flow channel structure to achieve sub-micron level size control through semiconductor process.
[0099] Through the above technical solutions, the present application effectively solves the sealing failure problem of the multi-layer test device caused by the difference in material thermal expansion coefficient, avoids the risk of equipment damage caused by cooling liquid leakage, and simultaneously realizes real-time visual monitoring of the internal state of the flow channel. The application of silicon material ensures the thermal matching of the micro-flow channel structure and the chip substrate, eliminates the influence of interface thermal resistance on the test precision, and provides a reliable test environment for the evaluation of the heat dissipation performance of chips of different materials.
[0100] The present application further proposes that the corresponding positions of the support base, the cooling liquid inlet and outlet substrate, and the fastening cover plate are provided with threaded holes, and fastening connection is realized through bolts.
[0101] The threaded hole refers to the hole structure distributed on the edge of the support base, the cooling liquid inlet and outlet substrate, and the fastening cover plate, which can be realized by numerical control machining center drilling and tapping, and the thread specification can be M6 standard parts, which is used to ensure the positioning accuracy and connection strength when the multi-layer structure is aligned.
[0102] The bolt refers to a fastener with external threads, which can be made of 304 stainless steel material and surface nickel plating treatment. A torque wrench is used to apply a pre-tightening force of 5-8 N·m, so that uniform pressure distribution is formed in the vertical direction of each layer structure, and plastic deformation of the sealing interface is avoided.
[0103] Specifically, during assembly, the support base, the cooling liquid inlet and outlet substrate, the manifold layer structure, the micro-flow channel layer structure, the temperature measurement PCB board, the chip to be tested, the electrical connection PCB board, and the fastening cover plate are sequentially stacked, and the bolts symmetrically distributed at the four corners are sequentially inserted through the threaded holes of each layer, and the axial tension of the bolts is used to press and seal each layer. The corresponding position design of the threaded hole makes the fastening force uniformly transmitted to the silicone gasket and the interface of the thermal conductive silicone grease, forming a stable interlayer contact thermal resistance. When the chip to be tested needs to be replaced or the flow channel needs to be cleaned, the bolts can be loosened to disassemble the layers without damaging the overall structure.
[0104] In some embodiments, the number of threaded holes can be four groups, each group containing two coaxial through holes located in the four corner areas of the support base and the fastening cover plate; the installation sequence of the bolts can follow the principle of alternating tightening along the diagonals to eliminate the flatness deviation caused by assembly stress.
[0105] Compared with the prior art, the traditional heat dissipation test device adopts a glue bonding or welding method to fix each layer structure, and needs to damage the sealing interface when disassembled and cannot be reused. The present scheme realizes non-destructive disassembly through the cooperation of threaded holes and bolts, ensures the sealing while allowing the manifold layer and the micro-channel layer to be replaced individually, and significantly shortens the test switching time of different chip heat dissipation schemes.
[0106] Through the above technical scheme, the present application solves the problem of difficult maintenance of the existing heat dissipation test device due to overall packaging, and through the modular threaded connection structure, the sealing reliability of the cooling liquid flow channel is maintained, and the key heat dissipation components can be quickly replaced, meeting the comparison test demand of heat dissipation performance of multiple types of chips.
[0107] The present application further proposes that the working medium branch of the cooling liquid inlet is two-way, symmetrically connected to the manifold layer inlet on the bottom surface of the manifold layer structure; the manifold layer outlet is located in the middle of the bottom surface of the manifold layer structure, and is connected to the cooling liquid outlet of the cooling liquid inlet and outlet substrate.
[0108] Among them, the working medium branch is two-way, that is, two symmetrically distributed branch channels are arranged at the cooling liquid inlet, which can be realized by using a Y-type flow divider or a double-channel injection molding structure, and the flow distribution on both sides is balanced through symmetric branch design.
[0109] Among them, the manifold layer outlet is located in the middle of the bottom surface, that is, the cooling liquid collection outlet is arranged in the geometric center area of the manifold layer, which can be realized by using a circular or rectangular flow collection cavity structure, and the flow path of each flow channel to the outlet is shortened by using the central position.
[0110] Specifically, after the cooling liquid enters the manifold layer inlet from the two-way symmetric branch, uniform distribution of laminar flow is formed in the conical liquid inlet flow channel, and after flowing through the micro-channel layer to complete heat exchange, the cooling liquid is collected and discharged at the middle outlet of the manifold layer. The structure eliminates the flow deviation caused by one-sided liquid supply through symmetric branch, and reduces the flow resistance through center flow design, so that the back pressure of each micro-channel tends to be consistent.
[0111] Compared with the prior art, the traditional single-inlet structure is prone to uneven flow on both sides of the manifold layer, and the pressure drop of the edge flow channel is too large, while the center flow outlet design can avoid local vortex caused by outlet position deviation. In the prior art, the cooling liquid outlet is usually arranged on the side or asymmetric position, causing residual bubbles to accumulate at the end of the flow channel. The present scheme realizes fluid dynamic balance through the center outlet cooperating with the symmetric inlet.
[0112] Through the above technical solution, this application effectively solves the problem of local chip overheating caused by uneven coolant distribution, reduces the risk of gas-liquid two-phase flow within the microchannel, and improves the stability of the temperature field distribution during heat dissipation testing. The symmetrical diversion structure ensures that the coolant evenly covers the chip's heating area, and the central flow collection design prevents sudden changes in outlet backpressure from interfering with flow monitoring data.
[0113] Manifold layer structure variation Stepped conical flow channel: The continuous conical inlet / outlet liquid flow channel is replaced with a stepped contraction / expansion structure (such as three-section width mutation), and the flow is evenly distributed through stepped resistance adjustment.
[0114] Curved guide wall: The side wall of the flow channel adopts a parabolic curved design (instead of a straight cone), which further reduces eddy current loss and reduces pressure drop by 15%.
[0115] Microfluidic Layer Alternatives Composite material substrate: The microfluidic layer 6 uses a silicon carbide-aluminum composite material (instead of single crystal silicon), with thermal conductivity increased to 250W / m·K, while being compatible with MEMS processing.
[0116] Serpentine microchannel: The rectangular microchannel 61 is replaced with a continuous serpentine layout, the flow channel length is increased by 2 times, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved by 22%.
[0117] Sealing and connection optimization Metal sealing ring: The silicone gasket 4 is replaced with a copper-nickel alloy sealing ring (temperature resistance > 200°C), which is suitable for high-temperature working fluid testing.
[0118] Magnetic quick-release structure: Bolt 11 is replaced with an electromagnet locking module, shortening assembly and disassembly time to 30 seconds.
[0119] Cooling medium circulation Phase change microcapsule suspension: paraffin microcapsules (50 μm in diameter) are added to deionized water to increase the specific heat capacity by 30% using the latent heat of phase change.
[0120] Electrowetting drive: The mechanical pump is eliminated, and an electrode array is set on the wall of the microchannel 61 to drive the flow of the coolant through the electrowetting effect.
[0121] In summary, the present invention presents a non-embedded integrated chip heat dissipation test device. By improving existing microchannel heat dissipation technology, the device can perform heat dissipation tests on various chips, effectively controlling chip temperature and addressing the issue of high-temperature failure of power devices. Its detachable design allows for replacement of different cooling core modules (manifold layer and microchannel layer structures) for heat dissipation testing, providing scalability. Furthermore, the device's compact size and light weight facilitate device integration.
[0122] The above merely illustrates the technical idea of the present application, and cannot limit the protection scope of the present application. Any modification made according to the technical idea of the present application on the basis of the technical scheme falls within the protection scope of the present application.
