Problems solved by technology

Studies have shown that less than 1% of CNTs are interconnected up and down, and the remaining large number of CNTs do not touch the target substrate at all, resulting in high interface contact thermal resistance.
Although some improvement measures have been proposed in recent years, including the use of metal interlayer technology (such as Figure 5 , 12 is the VACNT growth substrate, 18 is VACNT, and 19 is the metal film deposited on the top of VACNT), low temperature solder technology, phase change material assisted technology, electric field assisted bonding technology, chemical surface modification technology, etc., although it reduces to a certain extent The interface thermal resistance between CNT and target substrate is improved, but the effect is not very obvious

Abstract

The invention provides a preparation method of low thermal resistance thermal interface. Firstly a vertically aligned carbon nano tube (VACNT) is prepared on a substrate, then the VACNT is modified and magnetized, and then contact probability between the VACNT and a target substrate is improved by magnetic aiming, and finally bonding between the VACNT and the target substrate is realized by bonding technology. Owing to the combined action of magnetic force and pressure, conformal contact is formed between the VACNT and the target substrate, thus effectively reducing interface contact thermal resistance. The invention solves the difficult problem that the VACNT is directly used as thermal interface material, provides a new way for research and development of nano encapsulation and interconnection and low thermal resistance encapsulation technology, and promotes the research of optoelectronic integration technology and the research and development of power devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of low thermal resistance packaging, in particular to a method for preparing a low thermal resistance thermal interface using oriented growth carbon nanotubes directly as a thermal interface material. Background technique [0002] Semiconductor technology has been developing along the direction of miniaturization and integration. Take a computer CPU chip as an example. At present, the number of transistors in a single chip has exceeded 1 billion, while the size of its interconnection lines is only tens of nanometers. The ultra-miniaturization and high integration of electronic components pose new challenges to the thermal performance of the system: on the one hand, miniaturization makes the overall size of the device smaller and smaller, and the processing feature size is also continuously reduced. The high heat flux generated by micro-nano devices and systems during motion can easily lead to poor heat diss...
