Large Heat

A heat spreader is one of the solutions for thermal management of electronic and photonic systems. By placing the heat spreader between a small heat source and a large heat sink, the heat flux is spread from the former to the latter, resulting in a lower thermal spreading resistance between them. There are many types of heat spreaders known today having different heat transfer modes, shapes and sizes. This paper describes the theoretical study to present the fundamental data for the rational use and thermal design of heat spreaders. Two-dimensional disk-shaped mathematical model of the heat spreader is constructed, and the dimensionless numerical analysis is performed to investigate the thermal spreading characteristics of the heat spreaders. From the numerical results, the temperature distribution and the heat flow inside the heat spreaders are visualized, and then the effects of design parameters are clarified. The discussion is also made on the discharge characteristics of the heat spreaders. Moreover, a simple equation is proposed to evaluate the heat spreaders.

The Ideal

The ideal thermal management material working as heat sink and heat spreader should have a high thermal conductivity combined with a reduced and tailorable thermal expansion. To meet these market demands copper composites reinforced with diamond particles were fabricated by a powder metallurgical method (powder mixing with subsequent pressure assisted consolidation). In order to design the interfacial behaviour between copper and the reinforcement different alloying elements, chromium or boron, were added to the copper matrix. The produced composites exhibit a thermal conductivity up to 700 W/mK combined with a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of 7-8 x 10-6/K. The copper composites with good interfacial bonding show only small decrease in thermal conductivity and a relatively stable CTE after the thermal cycling test.

ABSTRACTGraphene is a promising candidate material for thermal management of high-power electronics owing to its high intrinsic thermal conductivity. Here we report preliminary results of the proof-of-concept demonstration of graphene lateral heat spreaders. Graphene flakes were transferred on top of GaN devices through the mechanical exfoliation method. The temperature rise in the GaN device channels was monitored in-situ using micro-Raman spectroscopy. The local temperature was measured from the shift in the Raman peak positions. By comparing Raman spectra of GaN devices with and without graphene heat spreader, we demonstrated that graphene lateral heat spreaders effectively reduced the local temperature by ~ 20oC for a given dissipated power density. Numerical simulation of heat dissipation in the considered device structures gave results consistent with the experimental data.
