Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of copper-based composite material technology, and relates to a porous diamond copper composite material, as well as a method for preparing the porous diamond copper composite material. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing power levels of highly integrated devices, higher demands are being placed on the performance of thermal management materials. The heat dissipation problem in electronic devices is becoming increasingly severe, and various fields urgently need a new generation of thermal management solutions that can meet the requirements of efficient heat dissipation. Diamond, with its high thermal conductivity (1800-2000 W / m·K) and low coefficient of thermal expansion (0.8 × 10⁻⁶ W / m·K), is a suitable material for heat dissipation. -6 / K), lightweight (3.52g / cm³) 3 Its advantages make it the preferred choice for enhancers.
[0003] Diamond particle-reinforced metal matrix composites have become a research hotspot for next-generation high-performance electronic packaging materials due to their high thermal conductivity, low coefficient of thermal expansion, high elastic modulus, and good wear resistance. Among common metals, copper has the second highest thermal conductivity after silver, while also possessing advantages such as high machinability and easy availability, making it an excellent metal matrix. The core structure of diamond-copper composites consists of diamond particles as the reinforcing phase forming the framework, and a copper matrix as the continuous phase filling its pores. Through interface treatment optimization, the two are combined to ultimately form a composite structure that combines the high hardness and high thermal conductivity of diamond with the high electrical conductivity and good machinability of copper. This structural design gives it irreplaceable advantages in aerospace, electronic heat dissipation, and other fields. Currently, diamond / copper matrix composites have become one of the main directions in the research and development of next-generation thermal management materials, with broad development prospects in cutting-edge fields such as aerospace, military technology, and rail transportation, as well as civilian fields such as mobile devices and communication base stations. Under current conditions, researchers have solved the problem of low thermal conductivity through surface modification and metallization methods, but significant challenges remain regarding the coefficient of thermal expansion, density, and thermal shock resistance.
[0004] Existing diamond / copper composite materials have a significant drawback: their thermal conductivity decreases sharply with increasing thermal shock cycles during both hot and cold use, resulting in poor thermal shock resistance—an unacceptable limitation for their applications. Our company's experimental data shows that after 800 thermal shock cycles, the thermal conductivity of conventional diamond-copper composite materials decreased from 583 W / mK to 507 W / mK, a reduction of 13.0%.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] This invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned porous diamond-copper composite material, which is specifically implemented according to the following steps: Step 1: Perform plasma cleaning on the porous diamond powder on the surface; The specific operation is as follows: the porous diamond powder is placed in the vacuum chamber of the plasma cleaner, and then argon gas is used to generate high-energy plasma through DC power supply to bombard the surface of the porous diamond. At the same time, the ultrasonic vibration platform is used to make each surface of the diamond roll evenly to complete the plasma cleaning of each surface. The particle size of the surface porous diamond powder ranges from 5 μm to 150 μm; the state of the surface porous diamond is as follows: Figure 1 As shown; During the ignition process, the power supply voltage is 1800V~2200V and the bias voltage is 350V~450V; the plasma cleaning time is 40min~60min.
[0022] Step 2: Coat the diamond surface with a strong carbon metal; The porous diamond surface is metallized with a strong carbon metal using a physical magnetron sputtering coating machine.

The specific parameters are: coating power of 1200W~1500W, coating time of 10min~30min, and coating thickness of 100nm~300nm; The coating is produced by physical magnetron sputtering and ultrasonic vibration platform, resulting in uniform film and controllable thickness. The strong carbon metal is deposited by magnetron sputtering, and after heat treatment, the metal and diamond form a bond with high bonding strength, high thermal shock resistance, and low interfacial thermal resistance between diamond and the substrate.
[0023] Step 3: Plate a copper layer on the surface of the strong carbon metal; The specific steps are as follows: Step 3-1: Pre-plat a copper layer on the surface of a strong carbon metal; After metallization, pure copper is deposited in a physical magnetron sputtering coating machine.

The thickness of the graphite pressure column 1 is selected according to the actual needs. After assembly, the top surface of the upper graphite pressure column 1 is higher than the height of the mold sleeve. The inner diameter of the mold sleeve is selected according to the diameter of the copper-clad preform. If multiple copper-clad preforms 3 need to be sintered simultaneously, multiple copper-clad preforms are stacked between two layers of graphite pressure columns 1, and graphite carbon paper 6 is used to separate each two layers of copper-clad preforms; the thickness of graphite carbon paper 6 is 0.5mm~1mm.
