- Heat dissipation is one of the factors limiting the continuous miniaturization of electronics. In the study presented in this paper, we designed an ultra-thin heat sink using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as micro cooling fins attached directly onto a chip. A metal-enhanced CNT transfer technique was utilized to improve the interface between the CNTs and the chip surface by minimizing the thermal contact resistance and promoting the mechanical strength of the microfins. In order to optimize the geometrical design of the CNT microfin structure, multi-scale modeling was performed. A molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) was carried out to investigate the interaction between water and CNTs at the nanoscale and a finite element method (FEM) modeling was executed to analyze the fluid field and temperature distribution at the macroscale. Experimental results show that water is much more efficient than air as a cooling medium due to its three orders-of-magnitude higher heat capacity. For a hotspot with a high power density of 5000 W cm(-2), the CNT microfins can cool down its temperature by more than 40 degrees C. The large heat dissipation capacity could make this cooling solution meet the thermal management requirement of the hottest electronic systems up to date.

- As the integrity of micro electronic devices improves, the heat power of chips is getting higher and higher. How to reduce the temperature of micro electronic devices effectively becomes more and more important. In this paper, a micro-channel cooler test system is set up. By measuring the temperature and pressure at inlet and outlet of the micro cooler and the average temperature of micro cooler bottom, the heat transfer performance of the copper based CNTs coated micro cooler is researched. The thermal resistance of copper and silicon based CNTs coated micro cooler are compared. It is shown that the copper based CNTs coated micro cooler has good thermal dissipation capacity than that of the Silicon based CNTs coated micro cooler.
