Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermally conductive filler technology, specifically to a diamond filler for chip heat dissipation and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] As integrated circuit manufacturing technology enters the post-Moore's Law era, the power density and integration level of chips have experienced explosive growth. The resulting thermal barrier problem has become one of the core bottlenecks restricting their performance, reliability, and lifespan. Traditional packaging materials (such as thermal grease and gel) have low thermal conductivity, making it difficult to meet the high-efficiency heat dissipation requirements of third-generation semiconductor power devices, high-performance CPUs / GPUs, and other scenarios.

[0003] To improve the thermal conductivity of thermal interface materials, the introduction of high thermal conductivity fillers is a key strategy. Existing technologies have made many improvements to thermally conductive fillers. For example, Chinese patent CN121085583A discloses a method for preparing thermally conductive silicon gel for power module chip packaging. By optimizing diamond micropowder filling, surface etching, and particle size compounding, the thermal conductivity of the prepared thermally conductive silicon gel can reach 3.8~4.5 W / (m·K), far exceeding that of ordinary silicon gel. At the same time, surface etching increases the specific surface area of ​​diamond and the interfacial bonding force with silicon gel, reduces interfacial thermal resistance, and forms a more efficient thermal conduction path. Particle size compounding maximizes the filler packing density, reduces air gaps, and constructs a more stable and interconnected thermal conduction network. SiC devices have high power density and fast switching speed, and the chip junction temperature is a key factor restricting performance and reliability. The above-mentioned materials can quickly and uniformly transfer the chip heat to the heat dissipation substrate, significantly reduce the junction temperature and internal temperature gradient of the module, and improve power density and long-term reliability.

[0004] However, it still has the following shortcomings in practical applications:

[0005] 1. Using only diamonds of different particle sizes for compounding results in a single type of filler, making it difficult to construct a multi-dimensional synergistic heat conduction network, and the heat conduction efficiency still needs to be further improved.

[0006] 2. Surface etching only increases roughness and relies on mechanical interlocking. The reduction of interfacial thermal resistance is incomplete and may affect the reliability of long-term thermal cycling.

[0007] Based on this, the present invention designs a diamond filler for chip heat dissipation and its preparation method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0011] The diamond filler for chip heat dissipation is prepared by mixing pretreated functional diamond, modified carbon nanotubes and modified hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets, adding them to N-methylpyrrolidone, and then reacting 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxysuccinimide.

[0012] Round diamonds are obtained by impact micro-pulverization of diamonds through high-pressure inert gas. After the round diamonds are cleaned, dried and treated with ozone, activated round diamonds are obtained. After the activated round diamonds are mixed and stirred with dopamine hydrochloride, pretreated functional diamonds are obtained.

[0013] Carbon nanotubes were first acid-treated, then reacted with anhydrous thionyl chloride and 1,8-octanediamine in sequence. After the reaction was completed, ascorbic acid was added to carry out the reaction. After the reaction was completed, the modified carbon nanotubes were obtained by centrifugation, washing and drying.

[0090] Comparative Example 1: Compared with Example 3, the diamond raw material pretreatment did not involve micronization, rounding, or dopamine functionalization.

[0091] Ninety-two portions of diamond raw materials were directly soaked, washed, dried, and ozone treated sequentially. After ozone treatment, no stirring reaction with dopamine hydrochloride in Tris buffer was performed to obtain pretreated functional diamonds. The remaining steps were the same as in Example 3.

[0092] Comparative Example 2: Compared with Example 3, ascorbic acid was not added for stirring during the modification of carbon nanotubes, and the remaining steps were the same as in Example 3.

[0093] Comparative Example 3: Compared with Example 3, no urea-assisted hydrogen peroxide exfoliation and bromoacetic acid carboxylation modification were performed during the modification of hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets.

[0094] 90 parts of hexagonal boron nitride powder were dispersed in a 7.5% hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution and stirred at 300 rpm for 10 h at 160 °C. After centrifugation and washing, the mixture was resuspended in a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution. 105 parts of bromoacetic acid were added, and the mixture was stirred at 375 rpm for 25 h at 61 °C.

The remaining steps were the same as in Example 3.

[0097] Experimental Example: The following performance tests were performed on Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4:

[0098] Filler thermal conductivity: The diamond fillers prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were cold-pressed into sheets, and their in-plane thermal diffusivity was measured and the thermal conductivity was calculated using the laser flare method.

[0099] Thermal conductivity of composite materials: The filler was uniformly dispersed in the epoxy resin matrix at a filling rate of 60%, and the thermal conductivity of the composite material in the vertical direction was tested after curing.

[0100] Coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of composite materials: This measures the coefficient of thermal expansion of the composite materials mentioned above. It indirectly reflects the interfacial bonding strength between the filler and the polymer matrix; the better the bonding, the lower the CTE.

[0101] Composite material resistivity: The volume resistivity of the above composite material was tested.

[0102] Table 1 Performance test results of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4

[0103]

[0104] As shown in Examples 1-3, the diamond filler for chip heat dissipation prepared using the method of this invention has a filler thermal conductivity of 238-252 W / m·K. The epoxy resin composite material prepared using this filler exhibits excellent comprehensive performance: a thermal conductivity of 11.9-12.3 W / m·K, a low coefficient of thermal expansion of 30-35 ppm / K, and extremely high insulation resistivity. These data indicate that the filler not only has excellent thermal conductivity itself but also plays a role in efficient thermal conduction, low thermal stress, and electrical insulation within the polymer matrix. The filler and composite material in Example 3 exhibit the best comprehensive performance across all indicators.

[0105] As can be seen from Example 3 and Comparative Example 1, if the diamond is not subjected to high-pressure gas micro-pulverization and rounding and dopamine functionalization, the thermal conductivity of the prepared filler and the thermal conductivity of the composite material both decrease, while the CTE of the composite material increases significantly.

[0106] As can be seen from Example 3 and Comparative Example 2, if the amylation grafting step is omitted in the modification of carbon nanotubes, the resistivity of the composite material prepared by the filler decreases sharply, and the thermal conductivity of the composite material also decreases.

[0107] As can be seen from Example 3 and Comparative Example 3, if the carboxylation modification of hexagonal boron nitride is not performed, the thermal conductivity of the composite material of the prepared filler decreases and the CTE increases.

[0108] As can be seen from Example 3 and Comparative Example 4, the micro-pulverization and rounding of diamond, dopamine functionalization, carbon nanotube modification and hexagonal boron nitride modification have a synergistic effect on the filler thermal conductivity, composite thermal conductivity and composite CTE of the prepared diamond filler.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
