Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/685,979, filed Oct. 15, 2003, the entire contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention generally relates to a system for dissipating heat from a power module. More specifically, the invention relates to a system including a liquid cooled thermal stack for dissipating heat from a power module.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- In high power electronic applications, such as electrical vehicle applications, a significant amount of heat is generated in a semiconductor device that controls the switching of power. The heat adversely affects the performance and reliability of the device by causing the device to overheat. When the device overheats, the junction temperature rises to a level where the device can fail to function. In addition, the devices and interconnects may also fail due to thermal expansion effects causing solder joint cracking. Therefore, it is advantageous to maximize in the device the capability to dissipate heat and to minimize the effects of thermal expansion.
- One approach, as seen in
FIG. 1 , has been to use a direct bond copper (DBC) substrate. One example is illustrated bypower module 10. Thepower module 10 includes a die 12, aDBC substrate 14, aheat spreader 20, andwater 30 for cooling. The die 12 is attached to theDBC substrate 14 by asolder layer 16. Awire bond 26 attaches the die 12 to abond pad 28 on theDBC substrate 14. The DBC substrate includes three layers, atop copper layer 15, followed by a middlealuminum nitride layer 17, and a bottom,third copper layer 19. Provided as such, theDBC substrate 14 provides a solderable, dielectric substrate for the die 12. In addition, thealuminum nitride layer 17 is dielectric with a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) closely matched to the silicon of the die 12. - The
DBC substrate 14 is attached to theheat spreader 20 by thesolder layer 18. Made of copper, theheat spreader 20 is attached to a layer ofthermal grease 22 to acold plate 24. -
Fluid 30 is directed to flow across thecopper plate 24 to transport the heat away from thepower module 10, thefluid 30 is directed by achannel 32 defined by afirst wall 34 and asecond wall 36. Anaperture 35 is formed in thefirst wall 34 of thechannel 32 and thecold plate 24 is attached to thefirst wall 34 over theaperture 35. Provided with theaperture 35, thefirst wall 34 allows thewater 30 to directly contact thecold plate 24 and dissipate heat. To seal thewater 30 in the channel 32 agasket 38 is provided between thefirst wall 34 and thecold plate 24. - Unfortunately, the
DBC substrate 14 is not optimized for sinking heat from the die and may not provide optimal reliability. For example, the solder andthermal grease interfaces - In view of the above, it is apparent that there exists a need for an improved system for providing thermal dissipation of heat from semiconductor dies in high power electronic applications.
- In satisfying the above need, as well as overcoming the enumerated drawbacks and other limitations of the related art, the present invention provides a system for dissipating heat from a semiconductor device. The system generally includes a semiconductor die, a heat spreader, a wetting material, a sealant, a substrate, and a base.
- As is typical thereof, the semiconductor die produces heat in normal operation. To dissipate this heat, the semiconductor die is attached to a first side of the heat spreader. The wetting material, which may be a liquefiable solder, is used to provide a thermal connection between the die and heat spreader. The sealant provides a mechanical connection between the die and heat spreader, in addition to encapsulating the wetting material. The heat spreader is further attached to a substrate configured for fixing the location of the heat spreader. A second side of the heat spreader is exposed from the substrate and configured to allow cooling fluid to flow thereacross transferring heat away from the heat spreader.
- In other aspects, the substrate includes a plastic material and the heat spreader is insert molded into the plastic material for ease of manufacture. The heat spreader can also include copper to facilitate heat transfer. To prevent electrical shorting, the cooling fluid may be a dielectric fluid. Alternatively, the heat spreader may include a ceramic dielectric coating sputtered on the second side of the heat spreader allowing an electrolizable fluid such as water to be used. The fluid is directed to flow across the second side of the heat spreader by a channel. The channel is configured to contain the fluid and may include a seal or gasket located between the channel and the substrate.
- Further objects, features and advantages of this invention will become readily apparent to persons skilled in the art after a review of the following description, with reference to the drawings and claims that are appended to and form a part of this specification.
-
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a power module used in high power electronic applications according to the prior art; and -
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a power module for high power electronic applications according to the present invention. - Now referring to
FIG. 2 , a system embodying the principles of the present invention is illustrated therein and generally designated at 50. Thesystem 50 includes as its principal components a semiconductor die 52,wetting material 56,sealant 58, aheat spreader 54, afluid 66 and abase 68. - The die 52 is attached to a
copper heat spreader 54 without an intermediate dielectric layer. Attachment is made by means of a stress relieving interconnect comprising awetting material 56 andsealant 58. Thewetting material 56 is a phase changing solder that provides an electrical connection between thedie 52 and theheat spreader 54, that softens or liquefies during the thermal cycle thus relieving accumulated stress. Thesealant 58, which may include an encapsulant adhesive material and has suitable strength and thermal expansion properties to confine the electrical interconnect material and provide mechanical attachment between thedie 52 and theheat spreader 54. Theheat spreader 54 is fixed in place by thesubstrate 64. Awire bond 60 attaches the die 52 to abond pad 62 on the DBC substrate. - A side of the
heat spreader 54 is exposed through an aperture in thesubstrate 64 allowingcooling fluid 66 to flow across theheat spreader 54 and transport heat away from thepower module 50. Due to the continuous electrical connection between thedie 52 and theheat spreader 54, thefluid 66 may be a dielectric fluid to prevent shorts. Alternatively, adielectric coating 76 may be applied to the exposed side of theheat spreader 54, providing electrical insulation between theheat spreader 54 and the fluid 66. Thecoating 76 may be a ceramic coating that is sputtered on the exposed side of the heat spreader. Use of thedielectric coating 76 allows an electrolizable fluid to be used for cooling theheat spreader 54, including water. - A base 68 with a
first wall 70 and asecond wall 72 forms a channel provided for directing the flow of a coolingfluid 66. Thefirst wall 70 includes anaperture 73 where thesubstrate 64 is attached, thererby allowing the fluid 66 to directly contact theheat spreader 54. Theheat spreader 54 is exposed from a face ofsubstrate 64 to the coolant path of the coolingfluid 66. - Alternatively, the
dielectric substrate 64 can be plastic allowing the heat spreaders to be insert molded at the desired locations, with one surface exposed for die attach, and another surface exposed to the coolant path. Provided between thefirst wall 70 and thesubstrate 64, thegasket 74 seals the fluid 66 in thebase 68. Further, thesubstrate 64 can form a portion of the channel that transports thefluid 66. - As a person skilled in the art will readily appreciate, the above description is meant as an illustration of implementation of the principles this invention. This description is not intended to limit the scope or application of this invention in that the invention is susceptible to modification, variation and change, without departing from spirit of this invention, as defined in the following claims.
