Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a heat-dissipation unit coated with oxidation-resistant nano thin film and a method of depositing the oxidation-resistant nano thin film on the heat-dissipation unit.
  • the currently used chips are usually made of a semiconductor material, such as silicon. Since a chip internally includes a large quantity of metal wires and insulating thin films, and the thermal expansion coefficient of the metal wire material might be several times as high as that of the insulating material, the chip would usually crack and become damaged when it continuously works at a temperature higher than 90° C.
  • the chip To prevent the chip from overheat and burnout, waste heat produced by electric current must be removed from the electronic elements as soon as possible.
  • the chip To quickly remove the produced heat from the chip, the chip is usually arranged to contact with a copper sheet or is embedded in a metal-based ceramic sintered body, such as aluminum-based silicon carbide, which has high thermal conductivity.
  • a heat-dissipation unit is needed to help increasing the heat dissipation efficiency, so as to avoid an overheated and burnt-out chip.
  • the heat-dissipation unit is mainly a radiating fin assembly, a heat sink or a heat pipe.
  • a cooling fan can also be used to assist in forced convection, in order to achieve desired heat dissipating and cooling effects.
  • a metal-made heat radiating fin exposed to air would gradually become oxidized to result in electrical potential difference in the radiating fin. Such internal electrical potential difference would in turn cause electrochemical reaction to form metal oxide on the radiating fin.
  • a metal oxide has a thermal conducting efficiency much lower than that of a pure metal, and would therefore largely reduce the heat dissipating effect and thermal conducting efficiency of the metal radiating fin. When the oxidation becomes worse, the oxidized metal oxide having loose structure tends to peel off from the metal surface of the radiating fin to contaminate the chip in contact with the radiating fin.
  • an oxidized metal surface would change in color to adversely affect the appearance of the metal material.
  • a metal radiating fin formed through metal (such as copper or aluminum) powder sintering process and having a porous structure tends to more easily have reduced heat dissipation performance due to oxidation.
  • the metal radiating fin is usually externally coated with a layer of nickel or tin through a water solution process.
  • the nickel can be coated on the radiating fin in different ways, including electroplating and chemical plating (electroless plating).
  • the coating obtained through the water solution process is easily subjected to contamination, such as adsorption of acid group anions, which would corrode the semiconductor packaging.
  • the nickel coating or the tin coating usually has thermal conducting efficiency much lower than that of the frequently used copper radiating fin, and would therefore have adverse influence on the heat dissipating effect of copper.
  • a primary object of the present invention is to provide a heat-dissipation unit coated with oxidation-resistant nano thin film.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of depositing an oxidation-resistant nano thin film on a heat-dissipation unit.

  • the heat-dissipation unit can be a heat sink, a uniform temperature plate, a radiating fin assembly, a heat pipe, a loop heat pipe, or a water block.
  • the nano metal compound thin film is formed via a reaction of a reduction gas with at least a nano compound coating and the metal main body.
  • the metal main body can be made of copper, aluminum, nickel or stainless steel.
  • the method of depositing an oxidation-resistant nano thin film on a heat-dissipation unit includes the steps of providing a heat-dissipation unit; forming at least a nano compound coating on a surface of the heat-dissipation unit; positioning the heat-dissipation unit in a high-temperature environment; supplying a reduction gas into the high-temperature environment to perform a heat treatment and a reduction process on the heat-dissipation unit and the nano compound coating on the surface of the heat-dissipation unit; and forming a nano metal compound thin film on the surface of the heat-dissipation unit after completion of the heat treatment and the reduction process.

Description

  • This application claims the priority benefit of Taiwan patent application number 098145478 filed on Dec. 29, 2009.
    • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a heat-dissipation unit coated with oxidation-resistant nano thin film and a method of depositing the oxidation-resistant nano thin film on the heat-dissipation unit.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • When an electronic device operates, electronic elements inside the device would produce heat. The heat is produced mainly by an operating chip during operation thereof. With the constantly increased performance thereof, the chip's power is now close to 100W and the temperature thereof would exceed 100° C. if no proper heat dissipation mechanism is provided.
  • The currently used chips are usually made of a semiconductor material, such as silicon. Since a chip internally includes a large quantity of metal wires and insulating thin films, and the thermal expansion coefficient of the metal wire material might be several times as high as that of the insulating material, the chip would usually crack and become damaged when it continuously works at a temperature higher than 90° C.
  • To prevent the chip from overheat and burnout, waste heat produced by electric current must be removed from the electronic elements as soon as possible. To quickly remove the produced heat from the chip, the chip is usually arranged to contact with a copper sheet or is embedded in a metal-based ceramic sintered body, such as aluminum-based silicon carbide, which has high thermal conductivity. In addition, a heat-dissipation unit is needed to help increasing the heat dissipation efficiency, so as to avoid an overheated and burnt-out chip. The heat-dissipation unit is mainly a radiating fin assembly, a heat sink or a heat pipe. A cooling fan can also be used to assist in forced convection, in order to achieve desired heat dissipating and cooling effects.
  • A metal-made heat radiating fin exposed to air would gradually become oxidized to result in electrical potential difference in the radiating fin. Such internal electrical potential difference would in turn cause electrochemical reaction to form metal oxide on the radiating fin. A metal oxide has a thermal conducting efficiency much lower than that of a pure metal, and would therefore largely reduce the heat dissipating effect and thermal conducting efficiency of the metal radiating fin. When the oxidation becomes worse, the oxidized metal oxide having loose structure tends to peel off from the metal surface of the radiating fin to contaminate the chip in contact with the radiating fin.
  • Further, an oxidized metal surface would change in color to adversely affect the appearance of the metal material.
  • And, a metal radiating fin formed through metal (such as copper or aluminum) powder sintering process and having a porous structure tends to more easily have reduced heat dissipation performance due to oxidation. To prevent oxidation, the metal radiating fin is usually externally coated with a layer of nickel or tin through a water solution process. The nickel can be coated on the radiating fin in different ways, including electroplating and chemical plating (electroless plating). However, the coating obtained through the water solution process is easily subjected to contamination, such as adsorption of acid group anions, which would corrode the semiconductor packaging.
  • Further, the nickel coating or the tin coating usually has thermal conducting efficiency much lower than that of the frequently used copper radiating fin, and would therefore have adverse influence on the heat dissipating effect of copper.
  • It is therefore tried by the inventor to develop a heat-dissipation unit coated with oxidation-resistant nano thin film and a method of depositing such oxidation-resistant nano thin film on the heat-dissipation unit, in order to overcome the drawbacks in the prior art.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • A primary object of the present invention is to provide a heat-dissipation unit coated with oxidation-resistant nano thin film.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of depositing an oxidation-resistant nano thin film on a heat-dissipation unit.
  • To achieve the above and other objects, the heat-dissipation unit coated with oxidation-resistant nano thin film according to the present invention includes a metal main body having a heat-absorbing portion and a heat-dissipating portion, and both of the heat-absorbing portion and the heat-dissipating portion are coated with at least a nano metal compound thin film. The heat-dissipation unit can be a heat sink, a uniform temperature plate, a radiating fin assembly, a heat pipe, a loop heat pipe, or a water block. The nano metal compound thin film is formed via a reaction of a reduction gas with at least a nano compound coating and the metal main body. The metal main body can be made of copper, aluminum, nickel or stainless steel.
  • To achieve the above and other objects, the method of depositing an oxidation-resistant nano thin film on a heat-dissipation unit according to the present invention includes the steps of providing a heat-dissipation unit; forming at least a nano compound coating on a surface of the heat-dissipation unit; positioning the heat-dissipation unit in a high-temperature environment; supplying a reduction gas into the high-temperature environment to perform a heat treatment and a reduction process on the heat-dissipation unit and the nano compound coating on the surface of the heat-dissipation unit; and forming a nano metal compound thin film on the surface of the heat-dissipation unit after completion of the heat treatment and the reduction process. The heat-dissipation unit can be a heat sink, a uniform temperature plate, a radiating fin assembly, a heat pipe, a loop heat pipe, or a water block. The reduction gas can be any one of H2S, H2, CO, NH3, CH4, and any combination thereof, and is preferably H2. The nano compound coating can be any oxide, nitride, carbide, and sulfide, and is preferably an oxide. The oxide is selected from the group consisting of SiO2, TiO2, Al2O3, ZrO2, CaO, K2O, and ZnO. The heat-dissipation unit is made of a material selected from the group consisting of copper, aluminum, nickel, and stainless steel.

This nano-sol surface pretreatment chemical mainly contains 1.0% of nanoparticles of Al2O3 having a particle size 10 nm, and has the product characteristics of a specific gravity of 1.01±0.03; a flash point higher than 100° C.; a colorless and transparent appearance; a pH value of 7.0±0.5; and a working temperature of 10-40° C.
  • After completion of the deposition of the oxidation-resistant nano thin film on the heat-dissipation unit using the methods according to different embodiments of the present invention, the structure of the formed nano metal compound thin films is analyzed via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) technique. In formation about the equipment used in the XPS analysis is as follows:
    • Name of equipment supplier: PerkinElmer (USA)
    • Voltage: 15KV
    • Watt: 300W
    • Vacuum degree: 2.5*10−9 torr
  • Following steps are included in the XPS analysis of the nano metal compound thin films formed according to the present invention:
  • Step 1: Performing a full scan on the nano metal compound thin film with a spot size of 0.1 Å;
  • Step 2: Etching downward to two different depths of 10 Å and 500 Å below the surface of the nano metal compound thin film, and performing a multiplex (local) scan with a spot size of 0.05 Å; and
  • Step 3: Comparing the obtained XPS spectra with standard spectra and performing a quantitative analysis.
  • Please refer to FIGS. 8 and 13 that are full-scan XPS spectra of specimens with the formed nano metal compound thin films. As can be seen from the spectra, there are copper, aluminum and oxygen contained in the nano metal compound thin films.
  • FIGS. 9 and 12 are local-scan XPS spectra showing copper binding energy values. The local scan is performed at etching depths of 1 nm and 50 nm into the material. As can be seen from FIG. 12, there is a layer of copper oxide less than 1 nm in thickness formed on the surface of the material, while copper exists 1 nm below the surface of the material.
  • FIGS. 10, 11 and 14 are local-scan XPS spectra showing aluminum binding energy values. The local scan is performed at etching depths of 1 nm and 50 nm into the material. As can be seen from these figures, there is a layer of Al2O3 compound (77.44eV) on the material surface. This layer of compound is a chemical compound of Al2O3 and CuO, as shown in FIG. 11. When the local scan is performed at an etching depth of 1 nm, Al2O3 (74.86eV) appears; and when the local scan is performed at an etching depth of 50 nm, Al2O3 still appears, as shown in FIG. 14.
  • From the above analysis, it can be found the Al2O3 sol is a highly strong oxidant.
  • When the Al2O3 sol is coated on the surface of copper, it will cause oxidation of the copper quickly, particularly at a high temperature. When H2 is used in a high-temperature environment to reduce the heat-dissipation unit coated with copper oxide and aluminum oxide, the copper oxide on the surface of the heat-dissipation unit is reduced and reacts with the aluminum oxide to form a compound CuAl2O3, as shown in FIG. 8. This layer of compound is able to stop oxidation of copper and forms an oxidation-resistant nano thin film.
