[0001] Cross-reference to Related Applications

[0002] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 2024108813047, filed on July 03, 2024, and entitled "Preparation process of aluminum-copper integrated die-casting composite heat sink for laser chip and heat sink", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present application belongs to the technical field of semiconductor chip preparation, and specifically relates to a preparation process of aluminum-copper integrated die-casting composite heat sink for laser chip and a heat sink. BACKGROUND

[0004] A laser chip is a semiconductor chip device configured to generate a laser beam, which is the core component of a laser diode. It is a special chip that generates a coherent light beam by exciting atoms or molecules in a semiconductor material.

[0005] The working principle of a laser chip is based on stimulated emission, in which a laser diode injects electrons and positive electrons into a semiconductor material, causing the electrons to transition to a low-energy state, and then generates a laser through stimulated emission. This laser beam is usually monochromatic, coherent, has high energy and narrow spectral width. Laser chips have a wide range of applications, including: optical communication (configured as laser transmitters and receivers in fiber-optic communication systems), laser printers (configured as laser outputs in printers), medical devices (configured as medical devices for laser treatment, laser surgery, etc.), distance measuring instruments (configured as laser range finders, laser radars, etc.), optical sensors (configured as various optical sensor applications such as photoelectric switches), cutting and welding (configured as material cutting, welding and processing). The small size, high efficiency and tunability of laser chips make them an indispensable part of modern technology and industrial applications.

[0006] When a laser chip is working, a large amount of heat will be generated. If the heat cannot be effectively dissipated, the temperature of the chip will rise, which will affect the performance and stability of the laser. Therefore, heat dissipation is needed during the working process of the laser chip to ensure that the chip can maintain a relatively low temperature during work.

[0007] The existing heat sink for laser chips usually adopts a copper-based or aluminum-based heat sink. These heat sinks utilize the good thermal conductivity of metals to conduct heat away from the chip and carry away the heat through the cooling channels of the heat sink fins.

[0008] However, the inventors have found that these heat sinks still have the following disadvantages:

[0009] 1. The pure aluminum or pure copper material is used, the thermal conductivity of pure aluminum is 205W / m·K-235W / m·K, the heat dissipation efficiency is low, and the heat dissipation effect is poor; the thermal conductivity of copper is 401W / (m·K), but the forming rate of pure copper is less than 50%, the copper material in the design without the heat dissipation area causes material waste, the effective utilization rate is low, and the cost is high;

[0010] 2. The whole product can only be processed by a mechanical process due to the single material whole design, the structure is complex, the processing time is long, the processing cost is high, the product is prone to cracking and deformation, the yield is low, and the service life is short;

[0011] 3. The heat conduction path is limited: the heat conduction path in the heat sink design exists cross, the cooling liquid flow is blocked, the heat conduction efficiency is low or uneven, and the overall heat dissipation effect is affected;

[0012] 4. Different materials of the cooling system: the flow channel and the cooling module of the heat sink are composed of multiple materials, which form an electrochemical reaction during use, causing material electrolytic corrosion, increasing maintenance cost and reducing service life.

[0013] SUMMARY

[0014] In order to solve the problems of unreasonable design, material waste, high cost, easy cracking by only using mechanical processing technology, short service life and poor heat dissipation effect of the heat sink used in the preparation process of the existing semiconductor laser chip, the application provides a laser chip aluminum-copper integrated die-casting composite heat sink preparation process and a heat sink which are more reasonable in design, more cost-saving, not easy to crack, long in service life and good in heat dissipation effect.

[0054] Example 1: Referring to Fig. 1, a preparation process of an aluminum-copper integrated die-cast composite heat sink for laser chips, comprising the following steps:

[0055] S1. Preparing the inner core of the heat sink including the inner core body 1 and the inner core fitting 2:

[0057] In FIG. 4, each inner core body 1 includes an inner tube 4 provided with a heat dissipation groove 6 and an outer wall provided with a groove strip 7, so that the inner core body 1 mold is also provided with a first protrusion matching the shape of the heat dissipation groove 6 and a second protrusion matching the shape of the groove strip 7; the drawing process is simple, convenient and fast to form the required shape, and the thermal conductivity of pure copper is 401 W / (m·K), so that the pure copper inner core body 1 is used as the core component, which does not cause material waste and reduces the production cost.

[0059] S13. The welded inner core body 1 and inner core fitting 2 are subjected to copper polishing, cleaning, nickel plating and drying treatment. First, the copper polishing treatment removes the surface oxide layer, and the ultrasonic oil removal agent cleaning can efficiently remove the oil and impurities on the surface of the inner core, ensuring the cleanliness of the inner core surface. Then, pure water rinsing is performed, followed by surface nickel plating treatment to prevent oxidation and reduce the risk of copper and aluminum inter-diffusion at high temperatures. Then, air cutting dehydration is performed to quickly remove water from the surface of the workpiece, reducing water stain residues, facilitating subsequent drying and coating processes. Then, tunnel drying is performed at a maximum drying temperature of 100°C, which can be adjusted according to actual needs. The drying temperature can quickly evaporate the moisture on the surface of the inner core, ensuring that the inner core surface is dry and avoiding problems caused by moisture residues. Pure water rinsing can thoroughly clean the cleaning agent residues and other impurities, avoiding adverse effects on subsequent processes.

[0060] S14. The inner core is filled with casting sand, and the cavity structure can withstand a casting pressure of 100Mpa.

[0061] S2. Prepare the outer shell 3 of the radiator, and form a copper-aluminum composite blank with the inner core and the outer shell 3 integrated:

[0062] S21. Prepare the aluminum liquid, specifically:

[0063] S211. Heat and stir the aluminum material, the model of the aluminum material is A356, the heating temperature is 700-750°C, and the grain refiner is added to the solution state of the aluminum material to form aluminum water.

[0064] S212. Further degassing treatment is performed on the aluminum water with grain refiner to form the required prepared aluminum liquid.

[0065] It is worth noting that the weight ratio of grain refiner to aluminum liquid is 0.2:100. The main function of the grain refiner is to improve the microstructure of the casting, refine the grain, improve the mechanical properties and surface quality of the casting, and reduce defects such as shrinkage and porosity. The main function of the degassing treatment is to remove the gas in the aluminum liquid, reduce the generation of gas holes and improve the density and mechanical properties of the casting.

[0066] S22. Put the prepared inner core into the counter-gravity cavity mold, fill the cavity mold with the prepared aluminum liquid, and perform pressure casting treatment to form a copper-aluminum composite blank with the aluminum outer shell 3 wrapping the copper inner core body 1 and the inner core fitting 2. The pressure casting treatment temperature is 750°C, the pressure is 100MPa, and the time is 180s.

[0067] It is worth noting that the shape of the inner wall of the cavity mold matches the shape of the inner core and the shape of the outer shell, and the aluminum liquid fills the gap of the cavity mold, wrapping the inner core.

[0069] S23. The shell 3 is trimmed to remove the sprue and the runner. The sprue and the runner are removed by a saw blade cutting machine. The runner is tail material formed in the material well in the mold during the die casting process. In order to ensure that the part is completely filled in the mold, a material well is arranged in the position which is not easy to fill according to the shape of the product, so that the aluminum liquid is filled more in this area to achieve the purpose of complete filling. The runner refers to the excess material formed in the material package at the inlet of the mold. The material package is a device for supplying metal liquid to the mold during the die casting process, which is located in the feeding system of the die casting machine, and the metal liquid is sent into the mold cavity through the connection with the die casting mold. The casting sand of the inner core of the radiator is blown and cleaned, that is, the casting sand of the inner core of the radiator is blown and cleaned by a high-pressure air gun.

[0070] S24. The shell 3 after the die casting process is subjected to T4+T6 heat treatment, which specifically includes the following steps:

[0071] S241. Solution treatment: the shell 3 is heated to a solution temperature, so that the solute atoms in the shell 3 are melted into the solvent lattice. The solute refers to the substance dissolved in the aluminum solvent, and the solvent lattice refers to the crystal structure of the main component of the shell 3, in which the atoms are arranged in order to form a lattice structure. The solution temperature is 520℃, and the treatment time is 3h. This process can improve the uniformity and hardness of the shell 3, and at the same time adjust the mechanical properties and chemical properties of the alloy.

[0072] S242. Rapid cooling treatment: the shell 3 after the solution treatment is subjected to water quenching treatment, and the shell 3 is rapidly cooled to 20-35℃ to prevent the solute from precipitating out of the solid solution as much as possible.

[0073] S243. Aging treatment: the shell 3 after the rapid cooling treatment is continuously heated at a temperature of 180℃ for 3h to enhance the hardness and strength of the alloy.

[0074] S244. Natural cooling treatment: the shell 3 after the aging treatment is placed at 20-35℃ to allow the solute inside the solid solution of the shell 3 to gradually diffuse and precipitate, forming the required strengthening phase, thereby further improving the hardness and strength of the shell 3.

[0075] The T4+T6 heat treatment can improve the hardness and strength of the alloy by forming a strengthening phase through the precipitation of solid solutes in the solid solution in the alloy, and can improve the hardness of the shell 3 to 95HV or higher; it is worth noting that when the laser chip is in some special application scenarios, such as aerospace, automotive electronics, industrial detection, etc., the environment temperature is -40℃-280℃, the heat sink in the related art is prone to cracking, resulting in the heat sink cannot work normally, while the heat sink of the present application can maintain high dimensional stability, cold and hot impact resistance and high temperature and humidity resistance in the extreme environment of -40℃-280℃.

[0076] S25. The shell 3 after heat treatment is subjected to CNC rough machining, that is, the shell 3 after heat treatment is subjected to CNC cutting machining by using process positioning hole to establish a reference, and XYZ reference is processed, which is convenient for fine positioning and finishing in subsequent processes.

[0077] S26. The copper-aluminum composite blank with an inner core is cleaned and dried. First, ultrasonic oil removal cleaning is performed, which can efficiently remove oil stains and impurities on the surface of the shell 3, and ensure the cleanliness of the surface of the shell 3. Then, pure water rinsing is performed, followed by air cutting dehydration, which can quickly remove water from the surface of the workpiece, reduce water stain residues, and facilitate subsequent drying and coating processes. Finally, tunnel drying is performed, and the maximum drying temperature is 100℃, which can quickly evaporate the water on the surface of the shell 3, ensure the dryness of the surface of the shell 3, and avoid problems caused by water residues. Pure water rinsing can completely remove cleaning agent residues and other impurities, and avoid adverse effects on subsequent processes.

[0078] Optionally, the milling of the inner core body 1 in step S11 is a CNC machining process, and the inner core body 1 is milled; and the CNC rough machining of the shell after heat treatment in step S25 is a fine surface treatment, which ensures the accuracy of the size and shape of the inner core body 1 and the shell 3.

Then, pure water rinsing is performed, followed by surface nickel plating treatment to prevent oxidation and reduce the risk of mutual solubility of copper and aluminum at high temperature. Then, air cutting dehydration is performed to quickly remove water from the surface of the workpiece, reduce water stain residues, and facilitate subsequent drying and coating processes.

Then, pure water rinsing is performed, followed by air cutting dehydration to quickly remove water from the surface of the workpiece, reduce water stain residues, and facilitate subsequent drying and coating processes. Finally, tunnel drying is performed at a maximum drying temperature of 100℃ to quickly evaporate the water on the surface of the shell 3, ensuring the dryness of the surface of the shell 3 and avoiding problems caused by water residues. Pure water rinsing can completely remove cleaning agent residues and other impurities, avoiding adverse effects on subsequent processes.
