Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of millimeter-wave device packaging and heat dissipation technology, specifically relating to a method and system for enhancing heat dissipation in millimeter-wave QFN packaging based on microchannel structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of millimeter-wave technology in fields such as intelligent sensing, wireless communication, and radar detection, especially the rapid development of high-frequency millimeter-wave devices in the 120GHz and above frequency bands, stringent requirements have been placed on the heat dissipation performance of device packaging. Millimeter-wave QFN, as a compact packaging form, has advantages such as small size, short pins, and low parasitic parameters, and is widely used in high-frequency millimeter-wave chip packaging. However, high-frequency millimeter-wave chips generate significant power losses during operation, leading to high power density heat accumulation inside the package. If heat dissipation is not timely and effective, the chip's operating temperature will rise, which will not only reduce the device's electrical performance and shorten its lifespan, but may also cause thermal runaway, seriously affecting the stability and reliability of the entire system.

[0003] Extensive research has been conducted on heat dissipation solutions for chip packaging in the prior art. For example, Chinese invention patent CN117457602B discloses a high heat flux chip packaging structure and its real-time service temperature control method. This patent employs a multi-level control mode of air cooling, single-sided liquid cooling, double-sided liquid cooling, and liquid cooling plus air cooling composite heat dissipation based on the different heat flux densities detected by the chip, to achieve heat dissipation for logic chips and memory chips. Specifically, when the heat flux density is below 10W / cm², 2 Air cooling is used; heat flux density is 10 W / cm². 2 -50W / cm 2 Single-sided liquid cooling is used during this period; the heat flux density is 50 W / cm². 2 -100W / cm 2 Double-sided liquid cooling is used during operation; heat flux density is not less than 100W / cm². 2 It employs a combination of double-sided liquid cooling and air cooling for heat dissipation.

[0004] However, the aforementioned existing technologies have several limitations when applied to heat dissipation of millimeter-wave QFN packages: First, the upper and lower microchannel structure used in this technology is incompatible with the compact structure of millimeter-wave QFN packages. The pin distribution and package thickness of QFN packages limit the arrangement space of the double-sided microchannels, and forced arrangement will lead to an increase in package volume, destroying its advantages in high-frequency applications. Second, the heat dissipation mode switching of this technology is based solely on the single parameter of heat flux density, without considering the uneven heat flux density distribution of millimeter-wave chips and the temperature gradient of the package substrate, which can easily lead to insufficient local heat dissipation or waste of heat dissipation resources. Third, the heat dissipation working fluid flow mode used in this technology is unidirectional circulation, without targeted heat dissipation optimization for the heat accumulation areas of millimeter-wave chips, resulting in limited heat dissipation efficiency. Finally, this technology does not consider the transmission characteristics of millimeter-wave signals, and the arrangement of the heat dissipation structure may introduce additional electromagnetic interference, affecting the communication or detection performance of millimeter-wave devices.

[0005] In addition, heat dissipation of millimeter-wave QFN packages also faces the following special challenges: First, millimeter-wave chips have high heat flux density and heat distribution is concentrated in the active area of ​​the chip, making it difficult for traditional heat dissipation structures to achieve precise heat dissipation; second, the substrate thickness of QFN packages is relatively thin, which limits the size and layout of heat dissipation channels; third, millimeter-wave signals have high requirements for the dielectric properties and electromagnetic shielding performance of the package structure, and the introduction of heat dissipation structures must not affect the signal transmission quality. Summary of the Invention

The layered microchannel packaging module is used to carry millimeter-wave chips and provide heat dissipation channels. It includes a QFN packaging substrate, a layered microchannel network disposed inside the packaging substrate, and a phase change heat dissipation unit attached to the chip. The layered microchannel network is connected to an external heat dissipation working fluid circulation system. The thermal characteristic sensing module is used to collect thermal characteristic data of the chip and packaging substrate in real time. It includes a miniature temperature sensor, a heat flux density sensor, a temperature gradient sensor and a data acquisition unit. The data acquisition unit is electrically connected to each sensor and is used to summarize and transmit thermal characteristic data. The multi-mode heat dissipation drive module is used to provide driving power for different heat dissipation modes, including a micro circulation pump, an electromagnetic flow guide valve, a micro heat dissipation fin assembly and a heat dissipation working fluid cooling assembly.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: Employing a layered microchannel network design, adapted to the compact structure of millimeter-wave QFN packages, it achieves a multi-dimensional heat dissipation channel layout within a limited package space. This ensures close contact with the chip for efficient heat conduction, while the reasonable distribution of the main and auxiliary heat dissipation microchannels avoids interference with the package pins. At the same time, it does not increase the package size, ensuring the high-frequency application advantages of millimeter-wave devices. The heat dissipation requirement level is determined by two parameters: chip operating temperature and heat flux density. The heat dissipation mode is switched by combining the temperature gradient data of the packaging substrate. Compared with the existing technology that only controls the heat flux density as a single parameter, this method is more in line with the uneven heat distribution of millimeter-wave chips, and achieves precise and differentiated heat dissipation, avoiding insufficient local heat dissipation or waste of heat dissipation resources. From gradient liquid cooling to microchannel-fin synergy, and then to phase change enhanced heat dissipation, it covers different heat dissipation needs of millimeter-wave QFN packaging. In particular, the introduction of phase change heat dissipation unit can quickly cope with the sudden high power heat loss of the chip and solve the heat dissipation problem caused by heat accumulation in high-frequency millimeter-wave chips. By setting a turbulence structure on the inner wall of the microchannel and optimizing the flow velocity and flow distribution of the heat dissipation medium, the heat dissipation efficiency was improved. The system adopts a modular design, with each module functioning independently yet working collaboratively, facilitating installation, maintenance, and upgrades. It can be adapted and adjusted according to different specifications of millimeter-wave QFN packages, making it widely applicable. Attached Figure Description
