Referring to fig. 1 to fig. 4, a description will now be given of a low-frequency high-power device cermet package according to the present invention. The metal ceramic tube package of the low-frequency high-power device comprises a quasi-rectangularmetal heat sink 100, aceramic package body 200 and apower device 300; two ends of themetal heat sink 100 are respectively provided with a connectingpart 101, and a thermal phasechange material layer 102 is embedded between the two connectingparts 101 on the top surface of themetal heat sink 100; theceramic packaging body 200 is provided with anairtight cavity 203, the peripheral area of the bottom surface of theceramic packaging body 200 is seamlessly welded with the top wall area of themetal heat sink 100 positioned at the periphery of the thermal phasechange material layer 102, the bottom wall of theceramic packaging body 200 is provided with a firstheat dissipation part 204, and the firstheat dissipation part 204 corresponds to the phase change material layer; thepower device 300 is packaged in theairtight cavity 203, attached to the inner bottom wall of theceramic package 200, and located right above thefirst heat sink 204; the firstheat sink part 204 is used for conducting heat dissipated by thepower device 300 to the thermal phasechange material layer 102, and further conducting the heat to themetal heat sink 100 for heat exchange with the outside; themetal heat sink 100 is provided withstress relief portions 103 in the regions between theceramic package 200 and the twoconnection portions 101.
It should be noted that themetal heat sink 100 adopts a quasi-rectangular structure, which mainly matches a high length-width ratio (length: width ≈ 4:1) of theceramic package 200 prepared for the size of thepower device 300, and specifically, the quasi-rectangular structure refers to a form in which four corners of the rectangle may have a rounded corner or a chamfered corner structure, and of course, it is also possible to directly adopt a square rectangular structure, and no limitation is made herein; it should be understood that, during actual engineering installation and use, thepower device 300 should be mounted before theceramic package 200 is packaged, and the mounted cavity is hermetically sealed by a gas-tight cover to form thehermetic cavity 203, theceramic package 200 is a common process structure for achieving hermetic packaging of thepower device 300, and a specific packaging form thereof is not limited and described in detail herein, and the firstheat sink portion 204 disposed on theceramic package 200 may be a heat conductive material embedded on a bottom wall of theceramic package 200 and is abutted against thepower device 300 and the thermal phasechange material layer 102 by using the heat conductive material for heat transfer, and may be implemented by filling a heat conductive adhesive or penetrating a graphene rod on the bottom wall of theceramic package 200 after punching, or directly adopting a mode of dissipating punching heat onto the thermal phasechange material layer 102, of course, it should be emphasized that, in order to ensure the hermetic packaging of thepower device 300, when theceramic package 200 is connected to the metal heat sink 100 (soldering), it should be ensured that the peripheral area of the bottom surface of theceramic package 200 is welded seamlessly with the top wall area of themetal heat sink 100 located at the periphery of the thermal phasechange material layer 102, so as to ensure the airtightness of theairtight cavity 203.
Compared with the prior art, the ceramic package is fixed on themetal heat sink 100, and is fixedly connected with the mounting position through the two connectingparts 101 located at the outer sides of the two ends of the ceramic package, because the stress slow-release part 103 is arranged between the connectingparts 101 and the ceramic package, the mechanical stress generated by the fixed connection of themetal heat sink 100 and the mounting position can be slowly released, so that the mechanical stress is prevented from extending to thepower device 300 in theairtight cavity 203, the ceramic package and thepower device 300 are prevented from being broken due to stress pulling, meanwhile, because the thermal phasechange material layer 102 is arranged on themetal heat sink 100, the rapid heat absorption performance of the thermal phase change material can be utilized, the heat emitted by thepower device 300 in the working process can be rapidly absorbed through the firstheat dissipation part 204, and then is thermally transferred to themetal heat sink 100 to perform heat exchange and heat dissipation with the outside, therefore, the rapid heat dissipation capability of the ceramic package is improved, thepower device 300 is prevented from being burnt due to overheating, and the long-term use reliability of thepower device 300 is improved from the two aspects of overcoming the mechanical stress problem and the heat dissipation problem.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4, the firstheat dissipation portion 204 is a plurality ofheat dissipation holes 2040 disposed on the bottom wall of theceramic package 200, afilling groove 104 is disposed on the top surface of themetal heat sink 100 at a position right below the firstheat dissipation portion 204, and the thermal phasechange material layer 102 is embedded in thefilling groove 104. Eachheat dissipation hole 2040 can serve as a heat absorption channel through which the thermal phasechange material layer 102 absorbs heat of thepower device 300, and compared with a method of simply adopting contact heat transfer to perform heat exchange, the speed of transferring heat from thepower device 300 to the thermal phasechange material layer 102 can be further increased, so that the heat dissipation efficiency is improved.
As a specific distribution manner of the plurality ofheat dissipation holes 2040, please refer to fig. 2, 4 and 6, the plurality ofheat dissipation holes 2040 are distributed in an array manner along the length and width directions of themetal heat sink 100, the plurality offilling grooves 104 are distributed at intervals along the width direction of themetal heat sink 100, eachfilling groove 104 respectively corresponds to a row ofheat dissipation holes 2040 arranged along the length direction of themetal heat sink 100 up and down, and eachfilling groove 104 is embedded with the thermal phasechange material layer 102. On the premise of ensuring the structural strength of theceramic package body 200,heat dissipation holes 2040 are formed as many as possible, and meanwhile, theheat dissipation holes 2040 are arranged in an array distribution manner, so that only one thermal phasechange material layer 102 is arranged corresponding to each row ofheat dissipation holes 2040, and the influence on the rigidity of themetal heat sink 100 between two stressslow release portions 103 due to too large width of thefilling grooves 104 is avoided (a metal body betweenadjacent filling grooves 104 can be used as a stress beam of themetal heat sink 100 to improve the deformation resistance of themetal heat sink 100 in the long axis direction), so that after the connectingportions 101 at two ends of themetal heat sink 100 are fixedly connected to the mounting position, the mechanical stress is fastened and released on the stressslow release portions 103, and the problem that theceramic package body 200 or thepower device 300 is pulled due to deformation caused by insufficient rigidity of themetal heat sink 100 at the connecting position with theceramic package body 200 is solved.
In some possible implementations, referring to fig. 2 and 5, anair gap 400 is formed between the thermal phasechange material layer 102 and the bottom wall of theceramic package 200, and the portions of themetal heat sink 100 located between theadjacent filling grooves 104 are attached to the bottom wall of theceramic package 200. Theair gap 400 is arranged to prevent the first heat sink part 204 (mainly, the bottom wall of theceramic package body 200 in the area of the first heat sink part 204) from directly contacting the thermal phasechange material layer 102, so that the heat is prevented from being reversely transferred from the thermal phasechange material layer 102 to the firstheat sink part 204 to influence the heat dissipation efficiency of thepower device 300, and meanwhile, the partial part of themetal heat sink 100 located between theadjacent filling grooves 104 is attached and supported on the bottom wall of theceramic package body 200, so that the contact support area between theceramic package body 200 and themetal heat sink 100 can be increased, and the connection reliability is improved.
Specifically, the thermal phasechange material layer 102 is a composite phase change material of graphene foam and paraffin. The thermal phase-change material layer 102 takes graphene foam as a framework structure, and forms a composite phase-change material after absorbing paraffin by a liquid phase infiltration method (paraffin is heated and changes from a solid phase to a liquid phase, and the graphene foam has a heat conduction function, can prevent the liquid phase paraffin from flowing randomly, and can ensure the overall form stability of the thermal phase-change material layer 102), the thermal conductivity coefficient can reach 5.5-6W/m.K, when the heat of thepower device 300 is transferred to the thermal phasechange material layer 102 through theheat dissipation hole 2040, the temperature of the thermal phasechange material layer 102 exceeds the phase change temperature thereof, phase change occurs, thereby absorbing a large amount of heat, and since the thermal phase-change material layer 102 is in direct contact with themetal heat sink 100, therefore, the high temperature can be quickly transmitted to themetal heat sink 100 by using the ultrahigh heat conductivity of themetal heat sink 100, and then the heat exchange heat dissipation is carried out between themetal heat sink 100 and the outside, so that the heat dissipation efficiency is high.
In addition, in order to prevent the thermal phasechange material layer 102 from entering theairtight cavity 203 through theheat dissipation holes 2040 after the thermal phasechange material layer 102 absorbs heat and changes phase (changes from solid phase to liquid phase), the graphene film is attached to the surface layer of the thermal phasechange material layer 102, so that the graphene film can be prevented from flowing into theairtight cavity 203 after the thermal phase change material layer absorbs heat and changes phase freely without affecting the rapid heat absorption performance of the graphene film, and the stability is improved.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1 and 4, theceramic package 200 is provided with a secondheat sink member 205 on the long sidewall thereof. Optionally, in the embodiment, the specific structure of the secondheat sink portion 205 is that an embedded groove is formed on an outer wall of a long side of theceramic package 200, and the secondheat sink portion 205 is a heat conductive metal fin having one end inserted into the embedded groove and fixed by welding. Because the heat thatpower device 300 gived off can cause the inside intensification ofairtight chamber 203, and then leads toceramic package 200 to generate heat, here through setting up secondheat dissipation portion 205, utilize large tracts of land, the little thickness attribute of metal fin to realize with external quick heat transfer to improveceramic package 200's radiating efficiency.
In the present embodiment, referring to fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 6, the stress slow-releasingportion 103 is a through groove extending along the width direction of themetal heat sink 100, and the ratio of the groove width of the through groove to the length of themetal heat sink 100 is 1: 40-45; the ratio of the depth of the through groove to the thickness of themetal heat sink 100 is 1: 3.6-4. It should be understood that thestress releasing portion 103 is a structural form having a mechanical stress releasing function or a function of blocking stress transmission, and may specifically be one or more stress releasing grooves extending along the width direction of themetal heat sink 100, and the bending ductility of themetal heat sink 100 is increased by using the rigidity reduction of the grooved position after the grooving, so as to release the stress and reduce the transmission amount of the mechanical stress generated by the fastening connection to theceramic package 200, or a plurality of stress releasing short grooves distributed at intervals along the width direction of themetal heat sink 100, which can also increase the bending ductility at the grooved position to improve the performance of releasing the mechanical stress, it should be noted that, in any way, the position where thestress releasing portion 103 is arranged should be ensured to be the position with the lowest structural strength on themetal heat sink 100, that is, that the mechanical stress generated by themetal heat sink 100 due to the fastening force causes themetal heat sink 100 to generate the extending deformation for releasing at the position, thereby blocking the transmission of mechanical stress to the connecting position of theceramic packaging body 200 and themetal heat sink 100, and achieving the effect of eliminating or reducing the stress pulling effect of theceramic packaging body 200; as for the width and depth dimensions of the through-groove, based on the aspect ratio of themetal heat sink 100, it is determined through optimization simulation tests that the slow release of the mechanical connection stress can be effectively realized on the premise that the RF (Radio Frequency) performance of thepower device 300 is not affected, so that the cracking phenomenon of theceramic package 200 is avoided, and the long-term use reliability of thepower device 300 is further improved.
Of course, in order to avoid the through groove from being broken, the two groove bottom corners of the through groove and the notch corners of the through groove located outside theceramic package body 200 are all set to be fillet structures, so as to avoid the stress concentration phenomenon on the corners of the through groove.
Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of theceramic package 200, theceramic package 200 includes aceramic bottom case 201, and acover plate 202 hermetically welded to a mouth portion of theceramic bottom case 201, thecover plate 202 and theceramic bottom case 201 together enclosing anairtight chamber 203; referring to fig. 5, C-shaped grooves 2011 are respectively formed on outer walls of two sides of theceramic bottom case 201 close to the two connectingportions 101, and a bottom periphery of thecover plate 202 is thinned and attached to an opening end wall of theceramic bottom case 201. Before thecover plate 202 and the ceramicbottom case 201 are hermetically packaged, thepower device 300 is attached to the inner bottom wall (directly above the first heat dissipation portion 204) of the ceramicbottom case 201, specifically, the hermetic packaging mode may be parallel seam welding or brazing, due to the difference of expansion coefficients after welding between the ceramicbottom case 201 and thecover plate 202, when the temperature of the ceramicbottom case 201 and thecover plate 202 is changed due to heat generated by thepower device 300, the hermetic connection reliability may be affected due to the factor of thermal stress, here, by setting the C-shapedgroove 2011 and thinning, the contact area between the end wall of the mouth portion of the ceramicbottom case 201 and the edge of thecover plate 202 can be increased, the problem of cracking and air leakage of the connection position due to the thermal mismatch problem is solved, and the long-term use reliability is increased.
Illustratively, referring to fig. 1 and 6, the connectingportion 101 is a U-shaped notch opened at an end position of themetal heat sink 100. It should be noted that, theconnection portion 101 is used for reliably connecting themetal heat sink 100 to the mounting location, and the specific structural form may be that a hole or a notch is adopted, and a fastening member is inserted to connect with the mounting location, or a portion located outside two ends of theceramic package 200 may be directly used as theconnection portion 101 to be welded and fixed with the mounting location, and here, a U-shaped notch structure is selected as theconnection portion 101, so that the length of the U-shaped notch can be used to finely adjust the mounting location, and at the same time, the influence of a processing error on the mounting connection can be eliminated, and the connection mechanical stress can be reduced.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
