Description

I
1- 920~-96 FIELD OF THE__I_VENTION
The invention relates to dissipating heat from electronic components on a ceramic substrate.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Electronic components can be mounted on a ceramic substrate and electrically connected to each other through metallized conductors carried by the substrate. Ire U.S.
Patent No. 4,292,647 discloses a semiconductor package including a plurality of electronic chips mounted on a ceramic substrate and provided with individual heat conductive elements mounted directly above them SUMMARY_OF_THE INVENTION
I have discovered that heat can he very effectively dissipated from electronic components through the use of a ceramic plate that receives heat from the components at one surface and has a plurality of separate, spaced metallic heat-conducting elements mounted on and extending from the other surface of the plate.
According to a broad aspect of the invention there it provided the combination of a ceramic substrate carrying electronic components and a heat dissipator for the electronic components, said combination comprising:
a ceramic substrate carrying electronic components on one surface and having an opposite surface, a ceramic plate adjacent to said ceramic substrate and having a first surface adhered in heat conductive relationship to I

~23~52~3
-2- 9204-96 said opposite surface of said substrate by a layer of adhesive, said plate having a second surface, and a plurality of separate, spaced, free-standing, metallic, cylindrical, heat-conducting elements mounted in an array on and extending from said second surface of said ceramic plate, said heat conducting elements being electrically isolated from said electronic components.
In a preferred embodiment the metallic elements are cylindrical copper pins; and the pins are connected to the ceramic plate via solder and metallic pads deposited on the ceramic plate.
Because both plates are made of ceramic, there are no thermal stresses between them. Also, the ceramic plate diffuses heat well, making the difference in temperature among the various pins low and promoting efficient heat dissipation.
Finally, the copper pins provide good heat transfer to and low pressure drop in air passing next to them, and the solder provides good bond strength and little thermal resistance to heat passing through it.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
I will now describe the structure, manufacture and operation of the presently preferred embodiment of the invention after first briefly describing the drawings.
DRAWINGS
Figure 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view, partially broken away, of a heat dissipator shown attached to a ~2:3~i2~
-pa- 9204-96 ceramic substrate carrying electronic components according to the invention.
Figure 2 is a bottom plan view of the Figure 1 dissipator.
Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view, taken a-t 3-3 of Figure 1 and upside-down with respect to Figure 1, of a portion of the Figure 1 dissipator.
STRUCTURE
Referring -to Figure 1, -there is shown ceramic substrate 10, which carries electronic components 12 on so its upper surface and is secured to heat dissipator 14 at its lower surface. Electronic components 12 are electrically connected to each other by metallization 16 on the upper and lower surfaces of ceramic plate 10, and the upper surface of plate 10 also carries insulating coating 18 over metallization 16. Dissipator 14 includes ceramic plate 20 (95~ pure alumina), thermosetting adhesive layer 22 (5 mix thick and available from EM under the YN469 or YN568 trade designations) and metallic heat-conducting pins 24 on its lower surface.
Referring to Fig. 2, the arrangement of pins 24 on the lower surface of plate 20 is shown. Pins 24 are mounted on 0.125 by 0.125 inch square palladium/silver vacuum deposited pads 26, which are spaced from each other by 0.094 inch in the width direction and 0.108 inch in the length direction. Referring to Fig. 3, pins 24 are approximately 0.1 inch in diameter and I inch long and include copper core 28 and tin coating 30.
Pins 24 are attached to pads 26 by solder 32, Manufacture Heat dissipator 14 is made by securing pins 24 in a jig providing them with the proper arrangement an applying solder paste to the exposed ends of pins 24.
25 Ceramic plate 20 with pads 26 thereon is placed on the exposed ends ox pins I and pins 24 and ceramic plate 20 are joined to each other by vapor soldering. After the pin/ceramic assembly has cooled, adhesive layer 22 is applied, and this is covered with a release layer 30 (not shown), which is removed prior to adhering to substrate 10. Eta dissipator 14 is easily adhered to substrate 10 by bringing the lower surface of ceramic plate 10 in contact with exposed adhesive layer 22, Lowe 8 .

., which cures in use. Adhesive layer 22 is 5 miss thick to compensate for irregularities in the plenarily of the ceramic plate surfaces.

Operation . . .
In operation, heat from electronic components 12 is conducted through ceramic layers 10, 20 to heat-conducting pins 24, from which the heat is transferred to the surrounding air flowing past them.
Because ceramic plate 20 diffuses heat well, the difference in temperature among various pins 24 is low, and heat dissipation to the air is efficient. Because plate 20 and ceramic plate 10 are both ceramic, there are no thermal stresses between them.` Copper pins 24 provide good heat transfer to and low pressure drop in air flowing past them. Solder 32 provides good bond strength and little thermal resistance to heat passing through it.

Other Embodiments Other embodiments of the invention are within the scope of the following claims. For example, pins 24 can be provided directly on the bottom of the ceramic layer that carries the electronic components if there is no metallization 16 on the bottom surf e.
