Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer simulation and thermal management materials technology, specifically to a multi-scale simulation method for thermal conduction at heterogeneous interfaces of polymer composite TIMs based on strain gradient response. Background Technology

[0002] Fourth-generation semiconductor materials (such as gallium nitride and gallium oxide) possess properties such as high breakdown electric field, high electron mobility, and excellent power density, showing broad application prospects in high-power devices and high-frequency electronics. However, these materials generally suffer from low thermal conductivity and high interfacial thermal resistance, leading to localized overheating during device operation and severely impacting their reliability and lifespan. Currently, a common thermal management approach is to introduce "thermally conductive interface materials (TIMs) with high thermal conductivity" to enhance heat transfer. However, due to factors such as lattice mismatch, poor chemical bonding, and phonon spectrum discontinuities at the interface, the heat transfer efficiency of traditional high thermal conductivity TIMs in semiconductor heterojunctions remains limited.

[0003] From the perspective of heat conduction mechanisms, heat conduction in solids mainly relies on the propagation and scattering of phonons. In solid-interface heat conduction, if the thermal interface material (TIM) and the substrate materials on both sides have good phonon spectrum matching, heat can propagate efficiently across the interface via phonons, resulting in low interfacial thermal resistance and excellent interfacial thermal conductivity. However, in practical heterogeneous interface systems, the spectral mismatch and limited transmission of phonons at the interface lead to a large interfacial thermal resistance. The materials on both sides of the interface undergo varying degrees of thermal expansion and contraction driven by temperature differences, thus forming a local strain gradient near the interface. If a polymer composite material with strain gradient response characteristics is used in the TIM, it will undergo spatially non-uniform thermal expansion and contraction driven by temperature differences, thereby forming a strain gradient and further exciting a local polarization field (i.e., flexoelectric polarization). Existing research indicates that in ferroelectric or flexoelectric composite systems, the polarization field can modulate the electrostatic potential distribution between interfacial atoms, change the force constant matrix, reconstruct the phonon dispersion relation, and especially enhance phonon mode matching in the mid-to-high frequency range, improving phonon transmittance and thus effectively enhancing interfacial thermal conductivity.

[0004] However, the composite structure of polymers and strain gradient-response materials is complex, posing significant challenges to experimental research. To elucidate its microscopic heat conduction mechanism and guide material design, it is urgent to establish a multi-scale simulation method for heat conduction at the interface of strain gradient-response polymer composite TIM heterostructures, enabling interface structure optimization and prediction of thermal management performance.

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this invention discloses a multi-scale simulation method for heat conduction at a polymer composite TIM heterointerface based on strain gradient response. It employs parameter transfer to achieve cross-scale calculations. The placement relationship of the heat source, TIM, and cold source in the simulation, and the schematic diagram of the principle of enhanced heat conduction at the polymer composite TIM heterointerface based on strain gradient response are shown below. Figure 1 As shown in the diagram. At the microscale, phonon dispersion and density of states are calculated based on first-principles calculations to obtain the force constant matrix, phonon density of states (PDOS) on both sides of the interface, and polarization intensity. At the mesoscale, machine learning is used, employing non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) methods and training an MLP using the NequIP framework to obtain thermal conductivity, heat flow rate (TBR), and work spectral density. At the macroscale, temperature field and heat flux density are calculated based on finite element analysis. The multi-scale simulation principle diagram is shown below. Figure 2 As shown.

[0030] The steps are as follows: (1) At the microscale, based on first principles, the phonon properties and polarization properties of the polymer composite TIM heterostructure are calculated to obtain the force constant matrix, the phonon density of states and polarization intensity of the materials on both sides of the interface; At the microscale, an atomic model was constructed using Material Studio software, and a continuous strain gradient was formed by adjusting the interface geometry (applying atomic displacements in the interface normal direction). To simulate the strain distribution of the composite TIM layer under bending deformation.

[0031] The atomic model of the composite TIM layer was geometrically optimized and its ground-state energy was calculated using Quantum ESPRESSO software, yielding the electron density distribution of the system under strain gradient conditions. Polarization intensity was calculated based on the Berry phase method. Quantitative strain gradient With polarization intensity Coupling relationship:

[0032] in, Let TIM be the flexural polarization coefficient. Treating flexural polarization as a type of electrostatic potential energy gradient perturbation, the total potential of the system is expressed as:

[0033]

[0034] in, The total potential of the system; This represents the intrinsic potential energy unaffected by flexural polarization. The potential disturbance caused by flexural polarization; electric potential field The gradient.

[0035] After the potential energy surface is modulated by the polarization field, the force constant matrix changes, causing a blue shift or mode redistribution in the high-frequency region of phonon dispersion, thereby improving the phonon spectrum matching across the interface. After obtaining the polarization-induced potential, the interatomic force constant matrix is ​​calculated based on the density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) module, and the interatomic force constant matrix is ​​extracted. :

[0037] in, , Indicates the first , Atoms in direction , The displacement components.

[0038] The dynamic matrix is ​​established by calling the above force constant matrix using the Phonopy software. :

[0039] in, , This represents the mass of the corresponding atom; It is a lattice vector; Let be the wave vector. For each By finding the frequencies of all modes at a point (along a highly symmetric path), the phonon dispersion relation can be obtained. Calculate PDOS:

[0040] in, for The total number; Assign modal numbers; In the calculation, the Gaussian function is used instead of smoothing. A phonon spectrum overlap factor is introduced. (overlap factor) as an indicator of modality fit:

[0041] in, and The two types of PDOS are shown respectively. At the mesoscale, PDOS can be used as spectral embeddings of atomic local environments to construct additional features in MLP training data.

[0042] (2) At the mesoscale, non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are performed based on machine learning potential functions to obtain the thermal conductivity, thermal boundary resistance and phonon work spectral density of the polymer composite TIM heterostructure. The force constant matrix obtained from microscale calculations PDOS, polarization intensity phonon spectrum overlap factor The dataset was brought in at the mesoscale and trained using the NequIP framework, including the energy function. and force field function Smooth L1 Loss was used to optimize the energy, atomic force, and polarization response simultaneously. The dataset was divided into training, validation, and test sets in an 8:1:1 ratio. The training objective error was set as follows: energy < 5 meV / atom, atomic force < 0.05 eV / Å.

[0043] At the mesoscale, after obtaining the machine learning potential function (MLP), it was embedded into the LAMMPS platform to perform long-scale molecular dynamics simulations of the interface structure under NVT conditions, collecting phonon velocity time series from different regions. The Green-Kubo method was used to characterize the average kinetic relaxation behavior of phonon populations at different frequencies using the phonon velocity autocorrelation function (VACF).

[0044] The phonon power spectral density (PSD) is obtained by performing a Fourier transform on the VCF:

[0045] PSD reflects the ability of phonons at different frequencies to participate in energy transport. Its peak position and amplitude can be directly compared with PDOS obtained at the microscale to verify the consistency of cross-scale parameters.

[0046] To characterize the transmaterial transport capability of phonons at the interface, a frequency-dependent effective phonon transport coefficient is defined. Based on local PDOS differences, PSD peak intensity, and perturbation of the interface force constant matrix, this method adopts the following expression:

[0047] Among them, and These represent the frequency-dependent phonon impedances of materials 1 and 2, respectively. The polarization enhancement factor takes into account the enhanced interface coupling under flexural polarization, reflecting the "on" effect of the flexural polarization field on the phonon transmission path in a specific frequency range, and can be fitted as follows:

[0048] To further characterize the contribution of high-frequency phonons at the interface, the "mode-selective phonon transport flux" is defined:

[0049] in, wave vector The corresponding phonon mode index; The transmittance is for single-mode phonons. exist The value is 1 for time intervals and 0 for all other intervals, used for frequency filtering. The modal-selective propagation channel number, taking into account both PDOS distribution and interface coupling strength, can reveal the microscopic mechanism by which enhanced modal coupling and propagation channel expansion are achieved in the mid-to-high frequency bands under flexural polarization modulation.

[0050] Once the phonon mode distribution and effective transmission coefficient are obtained, the interfacial thermal boundary resistance (TBR) can be solved based on the frequency-resolved heat flow model.

[0051]

[0052] in, The steady-state heat flux density at the interface, For temperature gradient, This represents the temperature difference between the materials on both sides.

[0053] (3) At the macroscopic scale, a finite element analysis model is established, which includes a heat source, a TIM (thermal induction generator), and a cold source, and its temperature field and heat flux density are calculated. At a macroscopic scale, using the Heat Transfer in Solids module of COMSOL Multiphysics software, a three-layer structure representing a real-world application is constructed: First layer: High heat flux density source region (simulated heat source); Second layer: Adjustable flexible thermal interface material (simulated TIM); The third layer: thermally conductive substrate (simulating a cold source).

[0054] Among them, the thermal conductivity of the second layer TIM material Both the interfacial thermal resistance (TBR) and the input from the mesoscale simulation results are:

[0055]

[0056] in, For normalized weighted functions; The intrinsic interfacial thermal resistance under non-flexible polarization control; The flexural polarization enhancement coefficient; It reflects the degree to which unit polarization intensity contributes to the improvement of phonon transmittance; This represents the frequency-dependent polarization intensity calculated based on the Berry phase method.

[0057] During the simulation, a constant heat flux boundary condition is applied to the upper surface or interior of the first layer to simulate device heating; an isothermal boundary condition is set on the lower surface or a designated area of ​​the third layer to simulate a cold source; and natural convection boundary conditions are set on the outer surface of the model, excluding the loading surface. The steady-state temperature field is obtained through finite element analysis, and key thermal management performance indicators such as regional temperature distribution, heat flux density vector distribution, total thermal resistance, and thermal response time are output. Specific Implementation This embodiment employs the following three-layer structure to verify the feasibility of the method of the present invention: Upper layer (heat source): Simulates β-Ga2O3 semiconductor substrate (high heat flux density region), with a thickness of 10 micrometers; Intermediate (TIM): Simulates a polymer composite TIM with strain gradient response, with a thickness of 1 micrometer; Lower layer (cold source): simulated Al2O3 heat sink substrate, with a thickness of 10 micrometers.

[0059] Multi-scale computation executes three steps sequentially: microscopic → mesoscopic → macroscopic, and is coupled through parameter passing. At the microscopic scale, the PDOS calculation results before and after polarization at different frequencies are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, comparing the spectral lines before and after polarization, the phonon spectrum shift is significant. The calculated results of the phonon spectrum overlap factor before and after polarization are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the phonon spectrum overlap factor is significantly increased after polarization. At the mesoscale, the changes in phonon transmittance before and after polarization are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in the figure, flexural polarization significantly enhances high-frequency transmission. PSD(ω) is as follows... Figure 6 As shown, this illustrates the frequency range variation that dominates heat dissipation in the TIM. On a macroscopic scale, the thermal conductivity before and after polarization is compared to... Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the thermal conductivity κ increases by more than 20% after polarization. Figure 8 The figure shows the temperature distribution along the cross-sectional direction of the three-layer structure before and after polarization. As can be seen from the figure, the interface resistance is effectively reduced and the heat conduction effect is improved.
