Description

The manufacture method of thermoelectric semiconductor device and equipment and the product that is obtained thereof
Technical field:
The product that the present invention relates to the manufacture method of thermoelectric semiconductor device and equipment and obtained.
Background technology:
The thermoelectric semiconductor device is the device that the paltie effect of generation produces refrigeration or thermal effect (according to the sense of current) when utilizing electric current to pass through semi-conducting material P, N knot.The structure of industrial typical thermoelectric semiconductor device and operation principle schematic diagram such as Figure of description of the present invention part is shown in Figure 1 at present, its elementary cell is that a P type thermoelectric semiconductor elements (3) and a N type thermoelectric semiconductor elements (4) are coupled to a pair of thermocouple with metal connecting sheet (2), (5), after connecting DC power supply (DC), locate to produce temperature difference and transfer of heat in metal connecting sheet (2), (5), locate temperature decline and heat absorption at metal connecting sheet (2), be called cold junction; Locate temperature at metal connecting sheet (5) and rise and heat release, be called the hot junction.Because the heat exchange amount of a pair of semiconductor thermocouple is very little, usually all semiconductor thermocouple is together in series on circuit some, the all equidistant layout of all galvanic couples and be fixed on heat conductive insulating substrate (1) (upper plate), and heat conductive insulating substrate (6) (lower shoe) between, form the thermoelectric pile of heat conduction parallel-connection structure, wherein heat conductive insulating substrate (1) is a cold junction, and heat conductive insulating substrate (6) is the hot junction.
Traditional P type and N type semiconductor thermocouple element all adopt the machine cuts processing method to make usually, and at first the thermoelectric semiconductor material (normally leaning on shape body crystal ingot) with bulk cuts into sheet, and then cut into the square cross section lean on shape body heat galvanic couple element.The cross-sectional area of leaning on shape body heat galvanic couple element material commonly used is about 1-6 square millimeter (fixed according to product demand), hang scolder at two end faces up and down of thermocouple element material then, respectively these rectangles are leant on body heat galvanic couple element by welding method again and be welded on the heat conductive insulating substrate (1) that fixes metal connecting sheet (2), (5), (6), make the thermoelectric semiconductor heap.
The method of the actual manufacturing thermoelectric semiconductor material that uses has two classes at present, and a class is to adopt crystal growth, and another kind of is powder sintering.The prescription of thermoelectric semiconductor material commonly used is:
P type: Sb2Te3 (70-75%)+Bi2Te3 (25-30%)+p type impurity (Te, Se etc.);
N type: Bi2Te3 (90-93%)+Bi2Se3 (7-10%)+N type impurity (TeI4, Hg2Cl2 etc.).
The method that crystal growth is produced thermoelectric material is to put into the heating furnace heating and melting after raw material are mixed, raw material cool off with the normal freezing method after fusion fully mixes, generate polycrystalline ingot, then polycrystalline ingot is adopted zone-melting process or Grown by CZ Method to become single crystal rod, after heat treatment again single crystal rod is cut on demand the thermocouple element of given size, be welded to the heat conductive insulating substrate and make the thermoelectric semiconductor heap.The technological process of crystal growth production thermoelectric semiconductor heap is as follows:
Batching---melting---crystal growth---heat treatment---section---stripping and slicing---tining---dress element---welding---test
Because thermoelectric semiconductor material monocrystalline crystal has tangible cleavage fissure, mechanical strength is relatively poor, and easy cracking and fragmentation reduce rate of finished products in the follow-up course of processing, and the process-cycle is long, the manufacturing cost height.
For solving the problem that crystal growth exists and reducing cost, now developed the powder sintering manufacturing process of thermoelectric semiconductor.This method is to put into the heating furnace heating and melting after raw material are mixed, raw material adopt quench to solidify after fusion fully mixes, generate polycrystalline ingot, then polycrystalline ingot is broken into the powder of appropriate size, repressed, sinter crystal ingot into, cut into the thermocouple element of given size then on demand, be welded to and make the thermoelectric semiconductor heap on the heat conductive insulating substrate.The technological process of powder sintering production thermoelectric semiconductor heap is as follows:
Batching---melting---quench solidification---fragmentation---briquetting---sintering---section---stripping and slicing---tining---dress element---welding---test.
Can't avoid the pollution problem of production process owing to adopt the powder sintering manufacturing process, and there are a large amount of spaces and crystal boundary in the crystal ingot, cause the resistivity of material to increase, Joule heat increases, degradation under the carrier mobility, make the thermoelectricity capability of semi-conducting material descend, be difficult to obtain satisfied material behavior.
The thermoelectric semiconductor material crystal ingot that above-mentioned two kinds of fabrication process go out, when the thermocouple element of processing given size, the common issue with that exists is that the cutting loss in the thermocouple element course of processing is very big, especially when producing the small dimension thermocouple element, the knife edge loss of cutting tool makes spillage of material sharply increase along with reducing of specification, for example, when cutting the cube of 1 mm side length, spillage of material reaches 60%, and when cutting the cube of 0.5 mm side length, spillage of material will reach 80%, and this is one of major reason that increases production cost.
In addition, in the whole process of production of thermoelectric pile that manufactures a finished product, especially cutting, putting thermocouple element and welding link, be difficult to realize automated production, need expend a large amount of artificial, and process loss is difficult to control, particularly because pre-treatment process (cleaning, hang scolder etc.), carrying and misoperation etc. before the internal injury of the thermocouple element that causes of cutting, thermocouple element welding all can cause thermocouple element to damage.The hidden danger of thermocouple element internal injury can cause the reliability decrease problem of device use.
Because production process is long, pad quantity is big, and each thermocouple element has two pads, and 512 solder joints are arranged once the finished product thermoelectric pile that has only 128 pairs of elements, finished by manual operation under open environment, production efficiency is low, and product quality and output are difficult to guarantee.
Because the spatial limitation of element welding operation, the spacing distance between each thermoelectric element can't reduce, and makes that the element packing density is restricted, has limited the refrigerating capacity of device unit are.
