[0003] Existing gallium nitride (GaN) chip packaging structures have certain drawbacks. First, during use, GaN chips generate a large amount of heat when operating at high power. If heat dissipation is not efficient, it will seriously affect the stability and lifespan of the device. Traditional heat sinks cannot meet the high-efficiency heat dissipation requirements of GaN chips. Therefore, we propose a microchannel circulating heat dissipation module for GaN chip packaging.

[0034] Reference Figure 1-5 As shown, a microchannel circulating heat dissipation module for gallium nitride chip packaging is provided in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It includes a gallium nitride chip body 1, a thermally conductive interface material 8 movably connected to the upper end of the gallium nitride chip body 1, a microchannel cooling component 7 fixedly connected to the outer end of the thermally conductive interface material 8, a cold water ring pipe 9 provided at the bottom of the inner end of the microchannel cooling component 7, a flow guide groove 10 provided at both ends of the microchannel cooling component 7, a heat sink 13 rotatably connected to the outer side of the flow guide groove 10, and a temperature sensor 17 movably connected to the outer side of the gallium nitride chip body 1.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, the outer end of the microchannel cooling component 7 is fixedly connected to a sealing cover 2, the bottom end of the sealing cover 2 is movably connected to a base 201, and both ends of the base 201 are threadedly connected to positioning components 3.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a protective seat 4 is further installed on the upper end of the base 201, and a heat-conducting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the protective seat 4.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 As shown, furthermore, multiple heat dissipation fins 6 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the base 201.

[0038] The thermal interface material 8, installed as a thermal pad, can conduct the heat generated by the chip to the microchannel cooling component 7. At this time, the microchannel cooling component 7, made of thermally conductive material, together with the internal serpentine distribution of cold water ring pipes 9, can conveniently cool the heat generated by the gallium nitride chip body 1. In addition, the heat sink 13 conducts external heat exchange gas. The external gas enters the interior of the microchannel cooling component 7 through the guide channel 10. With the cooling of the cold water ring pipes 9, the gallium nitride chip body 1 can achieve efficient cooling and heat exchange, effectively absorbing the heat conducted from the chip and thus quickly removing the heat. Furthermore, a thermally conductive ceramic sheet 5 is set between the base 201 and the gallium nitride chip body 1. The thermally conductive material at the bottom of the gallium nitride chip body 1 can reduce the contact thermal resistance, thereby improving the efficiency of heat conduction and ensuring that heat is quickly transferred from the chip to the microchannel cooling component 7, thus ensuring the safe and stable operation of the gallium nitride chip body 1 in a high power density environment.

[0039] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, further, both ends of the encapsulation cover 2 are provided with mounting grooves 11, and the inner end of the mounting groove 11 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 12.

[0040] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, a reservoir 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the encapsulation cover 2, and a micro circulation pump 15 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the reservoir 14.

[0041] Reference Figure 2-5 As shown, further, the other end of the micro circulation pump 15 away from the reservoir 14 is connected to the cold water ring pipe 9. The outer end of the cold water ring pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the circulation pipe 16. The other end of the circulation pipe 16 away from the cold water ring pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the cooler 19. The cooler 19 is connected to the reservoir 14 through a connecting pipe.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a control module 18 is further fixedly installed on the upper end of the protective base 4.

[0043] The storage device 14 has a connecting cover attached to its top. The storage device 14 can store a certain amount of coolant. With the help of the micro circulation pump 15, the coolant can be transferred more easily inside the cold water ring pipe 9. When the coolant inside the cold water ring pipe 9 has been cooled for a certain period of time, and the temperature sensor 17 senses that the temperature of the gallium nitride chip body 1 is high, the micro circulation pump 15 is started so that the coolant can be transferred from the cold water ring pipe 9 to the cooler 19 for cooling. Then, the coolant is transferred from the circulation pipe 16 to the cold water ring pipe 9, so that the module can achieve circulating cooling. When the temperature sensor 17 senses that the temperature of the gallium nitride chip body 1 exceeds the set normal value, the data is transmitted to the control module 18. The control module 18 analyzes the data and, with the help of the heat sink 13 and other heat dissipation components, makes the heat dissipation module more convenient to perform heat dissipation work.

[0044] Specific implementation process: When the gallium nitride chip body 1 generates a large amount of heat energy during high-power operation, the temperature sensor 17 senses that the temperature of the gallium nitride chip body 1 exceeds the set normal value and transmits the data to the control module 18. The control module 18 analyzes the data and then activates heat dissipation components such as the heat sink 13. At this time, the thermal interface material 8 of the thermal pad can conduct the heat energy generated by the chip to the microchannel cooling component 7. The microchannel cooling component 7, made of thermally conductive material, together with the internal serpentine distribution of cold water ring pipes 9, can conveniently cool the heat energy generated by the gallium nitride chip body 1. When the coolant inside the cold water ring pipe 9 has cooled for a certain period of time, the temperature sensor 17 senses... When the temperature of the gallium nitride chip body 1 is high, starting the micro circulation pump 15 allows the cold water ring pipe 9 to transport the cooler 19 for cooling. The cooler 19 is then transported by the circulation pipe 16 to the cold water ring pipe 9, enabling the module to achieve circulating cooling. This allows the gallium nitride chip body 1 to achieve efficient circulating cooling. In addition, the heat sink 13 conducts external heat exchange gas, which enters the microchannel cooling component 7 through the guide channel 10. Combined with the cooling of the cold water ring pipe 9, the gallium nitride chip body 1 can achieve efficient cooling and heat exchange, effectively absorbing the heat conducted from the chip and quickly removing the heat, thereby ensuring the safe and stable operation of the gallium nitride chip body 1 in a high power density environment.

[0045] Furthermore, when the gallium nitride chip body 1 is running, a thermally conductive sheet 5 made of thermally conductive ceramic material is placed between the base 201 and the gallium nitride chip body 1. The thermally conductive material placed at the bottom of the gallium nitride chip body 1 can reduce the contact thermal resistance, thereby improving the efficiency of heat conduction and ensuring that heat is quickly transferred from the chip to the microchannel cooling component 7, further improving the overall heat dissipation effect of the module.
