Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of microelectronic thermal management technology, and specifically relates to a liquid cooling structure design method for an optoelectronic chip TEC temperature control device. Background Technology

[0002] Chips are the core components of electronic devices, and their heat generation affects device performance and lifespan. Increased chip integration leads to higher power density per unit area, generating significant amounts of heat. This is especially true for quantum optical chips integrating large-scale thermally modulated phase modulators. During operation, the high-frequency thermal modulation of these large-scale quantum devices generates substantial heat in a short period. If this heat cannot be dissipated promptly, it can cause thermal crosstalk between devices, leading to increased chip temperature, reduced processing speed, increased power consumption, decreased reliability, and even chip damage.

[0003] Natural convection cooling relies on natural airflow to remove heat. It is simple in structure and low in cost, but has low heat dissipation efficiency and is suitable for chips with low heat generation. Forced air cooling uses fans to force airflow, resulting in good heat dissipation and meeting the needs of ordinary chips, but it generates noise and vibration, and its heat dissipation capacity has limitations. Heat pipe cooling utilizes the phase change of the internal liquid to transfer heat, offering high thermal conductivity, but it has a complex structure and high cost.

[0004] TEC (Thermoelectric Cooler) temperature control devices, based on the Peltier effect, transfer heat from the hot end to the cold end of a chip, precisely controlling its temperature. Advantages include precise temperature control, compact structure, and fast response, making them suitable for temperature-sensitive chips and those with high space requirements. Disadvantages include high thermal resistance, increased power consumption, shorter lifespan, and the need to consider maintenance costs. When a chip is placed on the surface of the TEC (hot end), the TEC itself generates heat, requiring effective heat dissipation. Liquid cooling / water cooling absorbs and dissipates heat through a circulating liquid, offering quieter, vibration-free operation and higher heat dissipation efficiency than air cooling, making it suitable for high-power chips and the heat dissipation needs of TECs. Currently, the common design method for liquid cooling channels is to initially design the circulation structure based on the device's shape and dimensions, and then optimize it through experimental testing. However, this method relies on experience and experiments, lacking systematic theoretical analysis and optimization. Factors such as temperature distribution, flow resistance, and pressure drop significantly affect channel performance; systematic simulation design methods can comprehensively consider these factors to improve heat dissipation performance and energy efficiency.

Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0046] In the field of electronic component heat dissipation technology, liquid cooling absorbs and dissipates heat through circulating liquid, offering quieter, vibration-free operation and higher heat dissipation efficiency than air cooling, making it suitable for high-power chips and TEC (Dynamic Energy Transfer) cooling needs. Currently, the common design method for liquid cooling channels is to initially design the circulation structure based on the device's shape and dimensions, and then optimize it through experimental testing. However, this method relies on experience and experiments, lacking systematic theoretical analysis and optimization. Factors such as temperature distribution, flow resistance, and pressure drop significantly impact channel performance; a systematic simulation design method can comprehensively consider these factors, improving heat dissipation performance and energy efficiency.

[0047] To address the above problems, this invention proposes a design method for a TEC liquid cooling channel, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the design method for the TEC liquid cooling channel provided in this application includes the following steps:

[0048] S1. Based on the TEC's own power consumption P T And the maximum power consumption P of the TEC cold-end photonic quantum chip m The temperature distribution spectrum of the hot end of the TEC was obtained through thermal simulation analysis;

[0049] S2. Select the geometric center of the high-temperature region of the temperature distribution map as the center of the liquid cooling channel jet input end. The liquid cooling channel jet input end is perpendicular to the TEC surface and its cross-section is circular.

[0050] S3. Divide the cross-sectional circumference into n segments through n equally spaced endpoints. n endpoints are connected by n endpoint lines. The length of each endpoint line is d, and n is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0051] S4. Draw perpendicular lines from the center of the circle to each of the n endpoints, and extend these perpendicular lines to the structural boundary of the TEC hot end, generating n flow channels with circular cross-sections. Calculate the friction length L along the centerline of each flow channel. i Let i be a positive integer, 1≤i≤n, and L be the length of the path.i The range is [L min ,L max ] , L min L is the minimum length along the path. max This represents the maximum value of the distance traveled.

[0052] S5. Calculate the friction length L of each flow channel. i It is divided into a flow path L' near the fixed input end and a variable flow path ΔL near the outlet of each flow channel. i The diameter of the flow channel along the fixed friction of each flow channel is d0, and the diameter of the flow channel along the variable friction of the i-th flow channel is d. i d i ≥d0, d i With ΔL i They are positively correlated, let d1~d n The initial values ​​are based on d1~d n Calculate the pressure loss P of each flow channel. i ;

[0053] S6. Determine the P value of each flow channel. i Does it satisfy the following relationship:

[0054] (Max(Ρ1,Ρ2...Ρn)-Min(Ρ1,Ρ2...Ρn)) / Max(Ρ1,Ρ2...Ρn)≤a%;

[0055] a% is the preset pressure loss stabilization threshold;

[0056] S7. When P i If the above relationships are satisfied, then the d values ​​of each current flow channel will be... i The value is used as the final design value to complete the structural design of the TEC liquid cooling channel;

[0057] When P i If the above relationships are not met, adjust the flow channel diameter d along each variable diameter path. i And calculate P i Repeat step S6 until P i The above relationships must be satisfied.

[0058] Specifically, TEC stands for Thermoelectric Cooler. A thermoelectric cooler is a thermoelectric device driven by an electrical signal. It also generates heat and has its own power consumption P. T When using a thermally conductive thermoelectric generator (TEC) to control the temperature of a quantum chip, the quantum chip is either directly fixed to the surface of the TEC's cold end or attached to it using thermally conductive adhesive. The power consumption of the quantum chip and the TEC together determine the heat generation and temperature distribution at the TEC's hot end. Therefore, based on the TEC's own power consumption P... TThe maximum power consumption Pm of the photonic quantum chip at the cold end of the TEC can be obtained through thermal simulation analysis, which yields the temperature distribution spectrum of the hot end of the TEC. Figure 2 This is an example of the temperature distribution pattern of the hot end 1 of the TEC obtained through thermal simulation analysis. The red area is the high-temperature region 2, and the blue area is the low-temperature region 3. The temperature gradually decreases from the red area to the blue area.

[0059] The liquid cooling jet is directed toward the hot end surface of the TEC in a direction perpendicular to the hot end surface of the TEC. The center of the liquid cooling jet input end 4 is aligned with the geometric center of the high-temperature region of the temperature distribution map. The jet then flows in a direction parallel to the hot end surface of the TEC until it leaves the hot end surface of the TEC. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the location and shape of the liquid cooling channel jet input end, with the cross-section of the input end set as circular.

[0060] The liquid cooling channels on the hot end surface of the TEC are designed to radiate outwards in all directions around the geometric center of the high-temperature region, with each channel connected in parallel. Figure 4 This diagram illustrates the division of the circumference of the liquid cooling channel jet inlet. n equidistant endpoints uniformly divide the circumference into n segments, with each flow channel originating from one segment of the circumference at the liquid cooling channel jet inlet. Subsequently, based on the center of the liquid cooling channel jet inlet and the divided circumference segments, n flow channels 5 are generated on the hot-end surface of the TEC, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown. The centerline of each flow channel is parallel to the hot end surface of the TEC and intersects with the edge of the hot end surface of the TEC. The distance from the center of the liquid cooling channel jet inlet to the edge of the hot end surface of the TEC is denoted as the friction length L of each flow channel. i L i The friction length L can be calculated using simulation software based on known data such as the TEC hot end surface shape, the center position of the liquid cooling channel jet inlet, and the n value, or by calling other programs such as MATLAB. i The minimum value is in the range L min The maximum value is L max .

[0061] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the friction length L of each flow channel is... i It is divided into a fixed flow path L' (within the dashed circle) near the input and a variable flow path ΔL near the outlet of each flow channel. i (Outside the dashed circle), the fixed-diameter flow path diameter of each flow path is d0, and the variable-diameter flow path diameter of the i-th flow path is d. i When performing simulation design, first set d1 to d2. n A set of initial values, based on d1~d n Calculate the pressure loss P of each flow channel. iAnd examine the P of each flow channel. i The normalized fluctuation range η of the value, when the pressure loss P i The following relation (1) must be satisfied:

[0062] η=(Max(Ρ1,Ρ2...Ρn)-Min(Ρ1,Ρ2...Ρn)) / Max(Ρ1,Ρ2...Ρn)≤a%

[0063] Set the current d1~d n The value is determined as the final design value;

[0064] When P i If the above relationship is not satisfied, that is, P i If the normalized fluctuation range η of the value is still large, then adjust the flow channel diameter d along each variable diameter path. i And recalculate P i Repeat the examination and judgment until P is reached. i If the normalized fluctuation range satisfies η≤a%, then stop adjusting d. i The diameter of the flow channel along each variable diameter path is taken as the final design value.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, considering the energy loss of the fluid in the liquid cooling channel, the pressure drop ΔP is calculated according to the following formula:

[0066] ΔP=Δp λ (along the route) + Δp ξ (partial);

[0067] Where, Δp λ (Friction) represents the friction resistance of the flow channel section with a constant diameter, Δp ξ (Local) represents the local resistance at the transition point between fixed and variable diameter friction; the local resistance mainly originates from the pressure loss caused by the diameter change; Δp λ =λLρν 2 / 2d, Δp ξ =ξρν 2 / 2, where L is the pipe length, d is the pipe diameter, ρ is the fluid density, λ is the friction coefficient, and ξ is the local resistance coefficient.

[0068] Pressure loss P in each flow channel i The pressure loss along the fixed friction and the pressure loss along the variable friction can be calculated using the following formula (relationship 2):

[0069] P i = (λL' / d0)*ρν 2 / 2+ (λΔL i / d i +ξ)*ρν 2 / 2;

[0070] The flow rate per channel is q = Q / n = vA = vπd i 2 / 4, Q is the total flow rate of the liquid-cooled jet per unit time, A is the cross-sectional area of ​​the channel, v is the average cross-sectional velocity, v=4Q / nπd i 2 Substituting these values ​​into the pressure loss calculation formula, we obtain the relationship (3):

[0071] P i =(λL' / d0)*ρ*(4Q / nπd0 2 ) 2 / 2+(λΔL i / d i +ξ)*ρ*(4Q / nπd i 2 ) 2 / 2=8ρQ 2 [(λL' / d0) / n 2 π 2 d0 4 +(λΔL i / d i +ξ) / n 2 π 2 d i 4 ].

[0072] Among them, λ, L', d0, ρ, Q, n, ΔL i ξ and ξ are both known values, and the variable is d. i That is, the diameter of the flow channel along the variable diameter path. This is achieved by adjusting d. i The pressure loss P of each flow channel can be adjusted. i Until the pressure loss Pi of each flow channel satisfies the following relationship (1).

[0073] In some embodiments of this application, the length d0 of the endpoint connection line satisfies the following relationship: d0 > Qρ / 500πμ, making the Reynolds number of each flow channel less than 2000. The Reynolds number is used to characterize the relative magnitude of inertial force and viscous force in fluid flow, and can be expressed as: Re ∝ inertial force / viscous force. The formula for calculating Re is as follows:

[0074] Re =ρvnd0 / μ,

[0075] Where μ is the fluid viscosity, ρ is the fluid density, and v is the average cross-sectional velocity.

[0076] The formula for calculating the average flow velocity across the cross section is: v = 4Q / nπd0. Let Re ≥ 2000, we can obtain the following relationship (4): d0 > Qρ / 500πμ.

[0077] Re≤2000 ensures that the fluid flow in the channel is laminar, which helps to make the flow rate, pressure drop, and velocity distribution completely predictable and linearly controllable, reduce flow noise and vibration, and reduce the frictional resistance between the fluid and the pipe wall.

[0078] In other embodiments of this application, d i With ΔL i The positive correlation can be specifically expressed as: d i =k*ΔL i +b, where k and b are constants, and k > 0. When b = 0, that is, when d i With ΔL i Proportional. k and b are constants, ensuring the d of each flow channel. i Synchronous adjustment: In step S7, adjust the flow channel diameter d along each variable diameter path. i It is simpler and more convenient, improving design efficiency.

[0079] Preferably, the pressure loss stability threshold satisfies: a%≤10%. a% is an empirical value, and satisfying the threshold range of a%≤10% can ensure that the hot end of the TEC receives uniform heat dissipation.

[0080] Furthermore, in some other embodiments of this application, each flow channel includes a gradual transition region of equal length along its fixed travel and a gradual transition region along its variable travel, the edges of which are linear or parabolic gradients, such as... Figure 8 As shown, when the edge of the gradient transition zone is a linear gradient, the transition zone is conical in shape.

[0081] In some other embodiments of this application, the high-temperature region of the temperature distribution map is a closed shape enclosed by the 90%Tmax temperature boundary line, where Tmax is the highest surface temperature of the TEC hot end.

[0082] In other embodiments of this application, the method for confirming the geometric center of the high-temperature region in the temperature distribution map includes:

[0083] The coordinates of multiple vertices at the edge of the high-temperature region are extracted, and the geometric center of the high-temperature region in the temperature distribution map is calculated using the coordinate integration method. Furthermore, the method for determining the geometric center is not limited to the coordinate integration method described above; it can also be achieved through methods such as polygon segmentation or the "region" function in CAD software.
