Abstract
Description
A high thermal conductivity aluminum-based composite material with adjustable coefficient of thermal expansion and its preparation method Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a high thermal conductivity aluminum-based composite material with an adjustable coefficient of thermal expansion and its preparation method, belonging to the field of composite material technology. Background Technology
[0002] With the advent of the 5G era and the continuous advancement of microelectronics technology, electronic devices are rapidly developing towards high integration, high power, and lightweight design, placing higher demands on the overall performance of electronic packaging materials. Research on materials that match the thermal expansion coefficient of semiconductor components and possess high thermal conductivity, low density, and good mechanical properties is becoming increasingly widespread.
[0003] Currently, fourth-generation electronic packaging materials such as Si / Al and SiC / Al aluminum-based composites possess low coefficients of thermal expansion, high thermal conductivity, low density, and good mechanical properties, leading to their wide application in electronic packaging, aerospace, and rail transportation. However, to match semiconductor materials such as Si and GaAs, the content of Si or SiC reinforcements in Si / Al and SiC / Al aluminum-based composites needs to be as high as 70 vol.% or more to meet the requirement of low coefficients of thermal expansion. However, the high ceramic content results in the composite material having almost no plasticity, leading to problems such as high brittleness, difficult processing, and weak weldability.
[0004] Compared to materials with low coefficients of thermal expansion such as Si or SiC, the discovery of negative thermal expansion materials provides a solution for controlling the coefficient of thermal expansion of composite materials from negative to positive over a wider temperature range. However, due to their extremely low intrinsic thermal conductivity, AM2O8 series negative thermal expansion materials can easily result in low overall thermal conductivity of composite materials when used alone.
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, hybrid reinforcement is an effective solution for designing and preparing aluminum matrix composites with low coefficients of thermal expansion and high thermal conductivity. It can coordinate the properties of different reinforcements to obtain composites with excellent overall performance. Currently, the main problems in preparing aluminum matrix composites with hybrid reinforcements of negative thermal expansion and other reinforcements are as follows: 1) Most existing aluminum matrix composites with hybrid reinforcements of negative thermal expansion and other reinforcements are prepared using liquid-phase infiltration. This method is difficult to achieve the preparation of composites with low volume fraction (e.g., below 30-40 vol.%) of reinforcement and precise control of the volume fraction. For example, patent document CN114231783B successfully improved the strength of the composite material while maintaining low expansion characteristics by introducing high-strength ceramic particles and ZrW2O8 particles into the aluminum matrix. However, this patent indicates that the liquid-phase infiltration method for preparing hybrid reinforced composites is suitable for preparing composites with high volume fraction (above 60 vol.%) of reinforcement. Patent document CN110846597B discloses a silicon carbide nanowire hybrid reinforced zirconium tungstate / aluminum composite material and its preparation method. The method involves uniformly mixing zirconium tungstate particles and silicon carbide nanowires, and then preparing the composite material using a pressure infiltration method (liquid phase infiltration). This results in a minimum thermal expansion coefficient of 2 × 10⁻⁶ for the prepared silicon carbide nanowire hybrid reinforced zirconium tungstate / aluminum composite material. -6 K -1 Furthermore, compared to composites prepared from single zirconium tungstate, the mechanical properties are improved, solving the problem of poor mechanical properties in existing zirconium tungstate / aluminum composites. The volume fraction of the silicon carbide nanowire-reinforced zirconium tungstate reinforcement reaches 30-60%. As can be seen from these two patents, the volume fraction of the reinforcement in the liquid-phase infiltration process cannot be lower than 30%, and it cannot overcome the inherent process defects of liquid-phase infiltration, such as the difficulty in precisely controlling the volume fraction. In addition, both patents are hybrid reinforcement designs based on improving the strength of the composite material, not hybrid reinforcement designs based on the comprehensive thermophysical properties of the composite material. 2) Compared to liquid-phase infiltration or pressure infiltration, solid-phase sintering is more advantageous for controlling the low volume fraction and precision of the reinforcement in low-expansion aluminum-based composites. However, there are currently few research reports on solid-phase sintering processes for low-expansion aluminum-based composites, which cannot meet the technical requirements. Patent documents CN105886823A and CN115870504A both use spark plasma sintering to prepare zirconium tungstate / aluminum composites, but they only address the sintering of a single zirconium tungstate negative thermal expansion reinforcement and an aluminum matrix composite, and the volume fraction of the zirconium tungstate reinforcement is above 50 vol.%. There are no reports on solid-state sintering of aluminum matrix composites with low volume fraction and / or mixed reinforcement with negative thermal expansion reinforcement and other reinforcements.
[0006] Therefore, when preparing aluminum matrix composites with low coefficient of thermal expansion and high thermal conductivity using various reinforcements, how to accurately control the volume fraction of the reinforcement from low to high has become a technical problem that needs to be solved.

[0046] It should be noted that negative thermal expansion reinforced materials exhibit the property of "thermal contraction and cold expansion" within the operating temperature range of electronic components. Within this temperature range, both the average linear expansion coefficient and the volumetric expansion coefficient are negative. Negative thermal expansion materials are combined with other positive thermal expansion materials in aluminum matrix composites to prepare materials with controllable coefficients of thermal expansion, such as zero-expansion materials. High thermal conductivity reinforcements are materials with relatively high thermal conductivity. These high thermal conductivity reinforcements are combined with other materials with lower thermal conductivity in aluminum matrix composites to prepare materials with relatively high thermal conductivity. Furthermore, within the allowable volume content range of the aforementioned negative thermal expansion reinforcements and high thermal conductivity reinforcements, by adjusting their volume ratio, aluminum matrix composites with different coefficients of thermal expansion and thermal conductivity that meet the application requirements can be obtained. For example, a 10 vol% ZrW₂O₈ + 10 vol% SiC + 80 vol% Al-Si alloy matrix has a thermal conductivity of 147.1 W / mK and a coefficient of thermal expansion of 12.6 ppm / ℃; a 10 vol% ZrW₂O₈ + 40 vol% SiC + 50 vol% Al-Si alloy matrix has a thermal conductivity of 1...
