Résumé : |
With the increase in power consumption in compact electronic devices, passive heat transfer cooling technologies with high-heat-flux characteristics are highly desired in microelectronic industries. Carbon nanotube (CNT) clusters have high thermal conductivity, nanopore size, and large porosity and can be used as wick structure in a heat pipe heatspreader to provide high capillary force for high-heat-flux thermal management. This paper reports investigations of high-heat-flux cooling of the CNT biwick structure, associated with the development of a reliable thermometer and high performance heater. The thermometer/heater is a 100-nm-thick and 600 µm wide Z-shaped platinum wire resistor, fabricated on a thermally oxidized silicon substrate of a CNT sample to heat a 2×2 mm2 wick area. As a heater, it provides a direct heating effect without a thermal interface and is capable of high-temperature operation over 800°C. As a thermometer, reliable temperature measurement is achieved by calibrating the resistance variation versus temperature after the annealing process is applied. The thermally oxidized layer on the silicon substrate is around 1-µm-thick and pinhole-free, which ensures the platinum thermometer/heater from the severe CNT growth environments without any electrical leakage. For high-heat-flux cooling, the CNT biwick structure is composed of 250 µm tall and 100 µm wide stripelike CNT clusters with 50 µm stripe-spacers. Using 1×1 cm2 CNT biwick samples, experiments are completed in both open and saturated environments. Experimental results demonstrate 600 W/cm2 heat transfer capacity and good thermal and mass transport characteristics in the nanolevel porous media.
