Description

- An integrated circuit package provides increased thermal conductivity to a thermal interface between a circuit die and a thermal management solution such as a heat spreader or a heat sink by forming a chemical vapor deposited diamond surface on the thermal management solution and growing an array of carbon nanotubes on the surface of the CVDD layer or the circuit die.

- FIG. 8 is a process flow diagram of another process for coupling a circuit die to a thermal management aid.
- The present invention relates to a structure and a process of forming an integrated circuit package that utilizes a thermal interface material layer having an aligned array of carbon nanotubes projecting from a surface thereof.
- In order to cool electronic packages such as electronic dies, a bare silicon die is covered with an integrated heat spreader which is formed from a thermally conductive material such as copper and serves to laterally distribute the thermal load provided by hot spots on the die corresponding, for example, to the areas of highest transistor activity.
- In FIG. 1, there is shown an
integrated circuit package 10 which has an interposer orsubstrate 12 on which adie 14 is located adjacent thesubstrate 12 and thermally coupled thereto throughsolder balls 16 which are bonded to a surface of die 14 which adjacent tosubstrate 12. The space betweenadjacent solder balls 16 and between the surface of die 14 andsubstrate 12 is generally filled with a thermallyconductive gel 18. The combination of the thermal conductivity ofsolder balls 16 and thermallyconductive gel 18 provides a cooling path for a portion of the heat generated by die 14. - As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a copper integrated
heat spreader 20 is positioned adjacent to a further surface of die 14 which is opposite to the surface of die 14 which is adjacent tosubstrate 12. An inner surface 22 ofheat spreader 20 is, in prior art packages such as the one shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, coupled to the surface of die 14 by a first thermalinterface material layer 24 which is a thermally conductive material such as thermal grease or some similar material. Finally, theheat spreader 20 is in thermal contact with acopper heat sink 26 through a secondthermal interface 28.Ambient air 30 flows acrossheat sink 26 to cool it. - In the prior art it has also been known to provide a chemical vapor deposited diamond (CVDD)
layer 32 between the die and the integratedspreader 20 to improve the lateral thermal conductivity of either thespreader 20 or thesilicon die 14. CVDDlayer 32 is illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 applied to the inner surface 22 of integratedheat spreader 20. - The thermal conductivity of the copper of the integrated heat spreader is about 395 W/mK while that of the silicon die is about 100 W/mK. The thermal conductivity of a CVDD layer is expected to exceed 1000 W/mK. It has been found through simulations that CVDD layers having a thickness of about 450 microns can provide thermal benefits, measured as a decrease in the total junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, are approximately 10% of total for CVDD layers applied to the integrated heat spreader, 20% for the CVDD layer applied to the die and approximately 30% for combined CVDD layers on both the die and the integrated heat spreader.
- One of the difficulties present with the use of CVDD layers applied to the die and the heat spreader are the roughness that is inherent with the unpolished deposited
diamond surface 34 which is characterized byasperities 36 or projections that have sizes measured in microns. Although it may be possible to reduce the roughness somewhat by performing a polishing operation after the CVD process, such a polishing operation is expected to be a major contributor to the cost of manufacture of the product, particularly as the cost of the CVDD process itself decreases. Unfortunately, it also appears to be true that the roughness of the CVDD layer increases with increasing thickness of the CVDD layer despite the fact that increasing the thickness of the CVDD layer increases the thermal effectiveness of the layers. In the prior art, accommodation of the uneven surface of thedie 14 or the inner surface 22 of the integratedheat spreader 20 as well as the lack of smoothness of the CVDD layer, whether it is applied to the die or to the integral heat spreader; a void fillingthermal interface material 38 is inserted between the two. - Addition of aligned nanotubes to the thermal interface, whether the nanotubes are single wall or double wall, increases the thermal conductivity between the die and integral heat spreader while allowing the elimination of the polishing step from the CVDD process. Described below are embodiments of thermal solutions based upon the addition of nanotubes to the thermal interface between the die and the integrated heat spreader.
- FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the invention where the single or double
wall carbon nanotubes 40 are grown on die 14 by a plasma discharge deposition process available in the art. Once thenanotubes 40 are grown on the surface of die 14, one end of nanotubes in the array is firmly affixed to the die 14. In this embodiment, the thermal conductivity of thenanotubes 40 is in a range of about 1000 to 6000 W/m-K as compared to the conductivity of the typical thermal grease thermal interface material of about 1-7 W/m-K. In the embodiment shown, the length of the nanotubes would typically be about 100 microns or less so that the thermal resistance of the layer would be negligible. The growing of thenanotubes 40 on the surface of die 14 fills the surface roughness valleys to provide a nearly uniform layer for the interface. A limited crush of thenanotubes 40 allows for an excellent thermal connection between the surface of die 14 and theCVDD coating 32 on inner surface 22 ofheat spreader 20. In one embodiment a thermal grease may be applied to the array ofnanotubes 40. In another embodiment, thermal grease is not used. In another embodiment,CVDD coating 32 may be formed on the surface of aheat sink 26 instead of aspreader 20. - FIG. 5 illustrates a further embodiment of the invention in which a structure has
nanotubes 40 which are grown from both the CVDD surface ofheat spreader 20 and the surface of die 14 using a plasma discharge method. In this embodiment thenanotubes 40 grown from and affixed to the opposed surfaces intermesh as the surfaces are mated to provide a good thermal interface, even without the use ofthermal grease 38. In a further embodimentthermal grease 38 can be used in combination with thecarbon nanotubes 40. - FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the invention where single or double
wall carbon nanotubes 40 are grown on and affixed to theCVDD layer 32 of the integratedheat spreader 20 using a plasma discharge process. Again, the grownnanotubes 40 fill in the surface roughness valleys andasperities 36 and compensate for them. The projectingnanotubes 40 are subject to limited crushing of thenanotubes 40 into the peak roughness features 42 of the die 14. Again, in one embodiment, nogrease 38 is necessary to form the thermal interface. In a further embodiment,thermal grease 38 is provided in combination with thenanotubes 40. - FIG. 7 is a flow chart of an embodiment of the inventive process for enhancing heat flow from a circuit die to a thermal management aid such as a heat spreader or a heat sink. The
first stage 72 of the process is forming a CVDD layer on a surface of thermal management aid. After the CVDD layer is formed, afurther stage 74 an array of substantially aligned nanotubes is grown on one surface of the circuit die or on the CVDD layer on the thermal management aid. Instage 76 the thermal management aid is mounted to the die with the layer of nanotubes thermally coupling the surface of the circuit die to the CVDD layer of the thermal management aid. - FIG. 8 is a flow diagram of another embodiment of the inventive process for thermally coupling a circuit die to a thermal management aid such as a heat spreader or a heat sink. In an initial stage82 a CVDD layer is formed on the thermal management aid. In stage 84 a layer of nanotubes is grown on the CVDD layer. In
stage 86 the thermal management aid is mounted to the die with the layer of nanotubes thermally coupling the surface of the die to the CVDD layer of the thermal management aid. - It will be readily understood to those skilled in the art that various changes in the details, material, and arrangements of the parts and method stages which have been described and illustrated in order to explain the nature of this invention may be made without departing from the principles and scope of the invention as expressed in the subjoined claims.
