Abstract
Description
本発明は、熱と電気との相互エネルギー変換を行う熱電変換材料を用いたペルチェ冷却素子に関する。 The present invention relates to a Peltier cooling element using a thermoelectric conversion material that performs mutual energy conversion between heat and electricity.
従来から、熱電変換を利用したエネルギー変換技術として、熱電発電技術及びペルチェ冷却技術が知られている。熱電発電技術は、ゼーベック効果による熱エネルギーから電気エネルギーへの変換を利用した技術であり、この技術は、特にビル、工場等で使用される化石燃料資源を使用する機器等から発生する未利用の廃熱エネルギーを電気エネルギーとして回収できる省エネルギー技術として大きな脚光を浴びている。これに対し、ペルチェ冷却技術は、熱電発電の逆で、ペルチェ効果による電気エネルギーから熱エネルギーへの変換を利用した技術であり、この技術は、例えば、ワインクーラー、小型で携帯が可能な冷蔵庫、またコンピュータ等に用いられるＣＰＵ用の冷却、さらに光通信の半導体レーザー発振器の温度制御等の精密な温度制御が必要な部品や装置に用いられている。しかしながら、熱電変換効率が低く、そのため、これら技術の実用化に関しては、上記のように、未だ限定的な分野に留まっている。 Conventionally, a thermoelectric power generation technique and a Peltier cooling technique are known as energy conversion techniques using thermoelectric conversion. Thermoelectric power generation technology is a technology that uses the conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy by the Seebeck effect, and this technology is an unused technology that is generated from equipment that uses fossil fuel resources, especially in buildings and factories. It has received a great deal of attention as an energy-saving technology that can recover waste heat energy as electrical energy. On the other hand, the Peltier cooling technology is a technology that uses the conversion from electrical energy to thermal energy due to the Peltier effect, which is the reverse of thermoelectric power generation. This technology is, for example, a wine cooler, a small and portable refrigerator, It is also used in parts and devices that require precise temperature control, such as cooling for CPUs used in computers and the like, and temperature control of semiconductor laser oscillators for optical communications. However, the thermoelectric conversion efficiency is low, and as a result, the practical application of these techniques still remains in a limited field as described above.
近年、エレクトロニクス機器には、それらの動作や制御に係り半導体素子が実装されることが当たり前のものとなっている中、微細化による半導体素子のさらなる小型化、高性能化等に伴い、半導体素子自体が高温になりかつ多量の熱を放出する発熱体となってきている。このような状況下、半導体素子の発熱を効率良く吸熱する冷却デバイスの小型化が求められている。
その対応方法の一つとして、上述したペルチェ冷却技術を利用した電子冷却があるが、従来のペルチェ素子は、熱電素子として熱電材料の焼結体を用いているため、小型化には機械的強度、また発熱体面への設置形態（屈曲部への実装等）や精度の観点からも限界があることから、印刷などによる塗布プロセスを用いた熱電材料の薄膜化を含むペルチェ素子のシート化、またそれらが屈曲性を有することが望まれている。
In recent years, it has become natural that electronic devices are mounted on electronic devices in connection with their operations and controls. With the further miniaturization and higher performance of semiconductor devices due to miniaturization, semiconductor devices have been developed. It has become a heating element that itself becomes hot and emits a large amount of heat. Under such circumstances, there is a demand for downsizing of a cooling device that efficiently absorbs heat generated by a semiconductor element.
One of the countermeasures is electronic cooling using the above-mentioned Peltier cooling technology, but the conventional Peltier element uses a sintered body of thermoelectric material as the thermoelectric element. In addition, since there is a limit in terms of installation form on the heating element surface (mounting on a bent part, etc.) and accuracy, Peltier element sheets including thinning of thermoelectric materials using a coating process such as printing, It is desired that they have flexibility.
熱電変換では、上述したように、ゼーベック効果とペルチェ効果といった、材料に固有の物理現象を利用している。そのため、熱電変換の効率を向上させるためには、性能の高い熱電変換材料を開発する必要がある。熱電変換効率は、熱電性能指数Ｚ（Ｚ＝σＳ２／λ＝σΠ２／λＴ２）によって評価することができる。ここで、Ｓはゼーベック係数、Πはペルチェ係数、σは電気伝導率（抵抗率の逆数）、λは熱伝導率、Ｔは接合部の絶対温度である。上記より、冷却の高効率化にあたっては、発電にかかるゼーベック係数Ｓ、冷却にかかるペルチェ係数Π（ペルチェ係数とゼーベック係数とは、上記Ｔを一定とした場合、比例関係にある）、及び電気伝導率σが大きく、熱伝導率λが小さい熱電変換材料を見出すことが重要となる。 In the thermoelectric conversion, as described above, physical phenomena specific to the material such as the Seebeck effect and the Peltier effect are used. Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of thermoelectric conversion, it is necessary to develop a thermoelectric conversion material with high performance. The thermoelectric conversion efficiency can be evaluated by a thermoelectric figure of merit Z (Z = σS 2 / λ = σΠ 2 / λT 2 ). Here, S is the Seebeck coefficient, Π is the Peltier coefficient, σ is the electrical conductivity (reciprocal of resistivity), λ is the thermal conductivity, and T is the absolute temperature of the junction. From the above, in order to increase the efficiency of cooling, the Seebeck coefficient S for power generation, the Peltier coefficient 冷却 for cooling (the Peltier coefficient and Seebeck coefficient are in a proportional relationship when T is constant), and electrical conduction It is important to find a thermoelectric conversion material having a high rate σ and a low thermal conductivity λ.
このような中、特許文献１には、発電効率の向上及び効率よく製造することを目的として、支持体上に、絶縁体を有し、ｐ型、ｎ型有機半導体素子の材料となる溶液を用いて塗布又は印刷後に、乾燥する工程を経ることにより作製した熱電変換素子の製造方法が開示されている。また、非特許文献１には、熱電変換材料として、ビスマステルライドをエポキシ樹脂に分散した組成物とし、それらを塗布により成膜することで、薄膜型熱電変換素子を作製する検討がなされている。さらに、特許文献２では、ポリチオフェンもしくはその誘導体などの有機熱電材料と、無機熱電材料とが分散状態で一体化されている熱電材料が検討されている。さらにまた、特許文献３では、図３に示すように、Ｐ型熱電素子４１、Ｎ型熱電素子４２の薄膜に備わる電極４３が薄膜の長さ方向の少なくとも両端に配置された熱電変換モジュール（以下、「Ｉｎ−ｐｌａｎｅ型熱電変換モジュール」という。）を用いた場合の熱電素子両端部間（両電極間）の温度差の付与について、両端の電極４３から効率良く熱起電力を取り出すために、熱伝導率の異なる材料で構成された柔軟性を有するフィルム状基板４４、４５を用い、フィルム状基板４４、４５の厚さ方向の温度勾配をフィルム状基板４４、４５の面内方向の温度勾配に変換する検討がなされている。 Under such circumstances, Patent Document 1 discloses a solution that has an insulator on a support and serves as a material for p-type and n-type organic semiconductor elements for the purpose of improving power generation efficiency and producing efficiently. The manufacturing method of the thermoelectric conversion element produced by passing through the process of drying after apply | coating or printing using is disclosed. Further, Non-Patent Document 1 discusses the production of a thin-film thermoelectric conversion element by forming a composition in which bismuth telluride is dispersed in an epoxy resin as a thermoelectric conversion material and forming a film by coating them. Further, Patent Document 2 discusses a thermoelectric material in which an organic thermoelectric material such as polythiophene or a derivative thereof and an inorganic thermoelectric material are integrated in a dispersed state. Furthermore, in Patent Document 3, as shown in FIG. 3, a thermoelectric conversion module (hereinafter referred to as a thermoelectric conversion module) in which electrodes 43 provided on thin films of a P-type thermoelectric element 41 and an N-type thermoelectric element 42 are arranged at least at both ends in the length direction of the thin film. In order to efficiently extract the thermoelectromotive force from the electrodes 43 at both ends, the temperature difference between the both ends of the thermoelectric element (between both electrodes) when using “In-plane type thermoelectric conversion module”) is used. Using flexible film-like substrates 44 and 45 made of materials having different thermal conductivities, the temperature gradient in the thickness direction of the film-like substrates 44 and 45 is the temperature gradient in the in-plane direction of the film-like substrates 44 and 45. Considered to convert to.
しかしながら、特許文献１では、熱電材料として、ｐ型、ｎ型有機半導体素子を用いており、熱電変換特性が十分ではなかった。また、非特許文献１の薄膜型熱電変換素子では、バインダー樹脂の分解温度以上の高温で加熱処理を行うため、ビスマステルライドのみを成膜した場合と同程度の屈曲性しか得られず、しかも熱電変換特性が十分ではなかった。さらに、特許文献２の熱電材料は、熱電変換特性をより向上させるために、熱電材料の薄膜を形成した後に有機熱電材料の分解温度以上の高温で加熱処理を行った場合、有機熱電材料が消失してしまい、熱電変換特性が低下するおそれがあった。さらにまた、特許文献３では、フィルム状基板をＩｎ−ｐｌａｎｅ型熱電変換モジュールに用いた場合の温度差の付与が十分ではなく、該フィルム状基板を、ペルチェ素子を構成する、Ｉｎ−ｐｌａｎｅ型熱電変換モジュールの放熱フィルム（以下、「熱伝導性フィルム」ということがある。）として用いた場合においても、熱電性能（冷却効果）が十分得られないおそれがあった。 However, in Patent Document 1, p-type and n-type organic semiconductor elements are used as thermoelectric materials, and the thermoelectric conversion characteristics are not sufficient. Further, in the thin film type thermoelectric conversion element of Non-Patent Document 1, since heat treatment is performed at a temperature higher than the decomposition temperature of the binder resin, only the same degree of flexibility as in the case of forming a film of bismuth telluride can be obtained. The conversion characteristics were not sufficient. Furthermore, the thermoelectric material of Patent Document 2 loses the organic thermoelectric material when heat treatment is performed at a temperature higher than the decomposition temperature of the organic thermoelectric material after forming a thin film of the thermoelectric material in order to further improve the thermoelectric conversion characteristics. As a result, the thermoelectric conversion characteristics may be deteriorated. Furthermore, in Patent Document 3, the application of a temperature difference when the film-like substrate is used in an In-plane type thermoelectric conversion module is not sufficient, and the film-like substrate constitutes a Peltier element. Even when used as a heat dissipation film (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “thermal conductive film”) of the conversion module, there is a possibility that the thermoelectric performance (cooling effect) may not be sufficiently obtained.
本発明は、上記状況を鑑み、熱電性能及び屈曲性に優れ、簡便に低コストで製造可能であるペルチェ冷却素子を提供することを課題とする。 In view of the above situation, an object of the present invention is to provide a Peltier cooling element that is excellent in thermoelectric performance and flexibility and can be easily manufactured at low cost.

［ペルチェ冷却素子］
本発明のペルチェ冷却素子は、支持体上に、熱電半導体微粒子、耐熱性樹脂及びイオン液体を含む熱電半導体組成物からなる薄膜を有する熱電変換材料を用いたペルチェ冷却素子であって、該ペルチェ冷却素子が、該薄膜の片面又は両面に高熱伝導部と低熱伝導部とを備えた熱伝導性フィルムを含むことを特徴とする。
ペルチェ冷却素子では、通常、ｐ型熱電素子とｎ型熱電素子とを電極を介し直列に接続し、ｐｎ接合部に電流を流すことにより、ペルチェ効果により、ｎ→ｐ接合部分（矢印の方向へ電流が流れる）では吸熱現象が、ｐ→ｎ接合部分（矢印の方向へ電流が流れる）では放熱現象が発生する。これにより、熱を低温側（吸熱側）から高温側（発熱側）へ輸送することができる。

The Peltier cooling element of the present invention is a Peltier cooling element using a thermoelectric conversion material having a thin film made of a thermoelectric semiconductor composition containing thermoelectric semiconductor fine particles, a heat resistant resin and an ionic liquid on a support, The element includes a heat conductive film having a high heat conductive portion and a low heat conductive portion on one or both surfaces of the thin film.
In a Peltier cooling element, normally, a p-type thermoelectric element and an n-type thermoelectric element are connected in series via electrodes, and a current is passed through the pn junction, thereby causing an n → p junction (in the direction of the arrow) due to the Peltier effect. An endothermic phenomenon occurs when current flows), and a heat dissipation phenomenon occurs at the p → n junction (current flows in the direction of the arrow). Thereby, heat can be transported from the low temperature side (heat absorption side) to the high temperature side (heat generation side).
Also, in the Peltier cooling element, when the temperature difference between the high temperature side and the low temperature side increases, the reverse flow of heat increases from the high temperature side to the low temperature side through the inside of the element (increase = increase in module thermal conductivity x temperature difference) Therefore, the smaller the temperature difference between the heat generation side and the heat absorption side, the higher the cooling effect.

実施例１〜５及び比較例１〜４で得られたｐ型熱電変換材料、ｎ型熱電変換材料の熱電性能評価、屈曲性評価、及びＩｎ−ｐｌａｎｅ型ペルチェ冷却素子の冷却特性評価に係る結果を表２に示す。 Results of p-type thermoelectric conversion materials, thermoelectric performance evaluations of n-type thermoelectric conversion materials obtained in Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4, evaluation of flexibility, and evaluation of cooling characteristics of In-plane Peltier cooling elements Is shown in Table 2.
実施例１〜５の熱電変換材料は、イオン液体を加えない比較例１に比べて、無次元熱電性能指数ＺＴが１オーダー又はそれ以上高く、また、円筒形マンドレル試験前後で、熱電変換材料にクラック等の割れが発生することもなく、無次元熱電性能指数ＺＴがほとんど低下せず、屈曲性が優れていることが分かった。さらに、耐熱性樹脂を使用しない比較例２（耐熱性の低い導電性高分子のみ使用）に比べ、無次元熱電性能指数ＺＴ及び屈曲性がはるかに優れていることが分かった。
実施例１〜５の熱伝導性フィルムを備えたＩｎ−ｐｌａｎｅ型ペルチェ冷却素子は、イオン液体を加えない比較例１に比べて、冷却面（吸熱側）と排熱面（発熱側）との温度差が小さいことから、電圧印加による冷却効果と熱交換可能な排熱量に収まっており高性能なペルチェ能を有していることが分かった。
実施例１の高熱伝導部と低熱伝導部を交互に備え、熱を特定の方向に選択的に放熱可能な熱伝導性フィルムを用いたＩｎ−ｐｌａｎｅ型ペルチェ冷却素子は、低熱伝導部のみを備える熱制御性を有しない熱伝導性フィルムを用いた比較例４に比べて、冷却面（吸熱側）の温度が−１０℃〜０℃と低く、熱伝導性フィルムによりスムーズに熱交換が行われているため、排熱面の温度がチラーによる冷却で十分冷却されていることから、より冷却効果が優れていることが分かった。
The thermoelectric conversion materials of Examples 1 to 5 have a dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT of one order or more higher than that of Comparative Example 1 in which no ionic liquid is added, and the thermoelectric conversion material is used before and after the cylindrical mandrel test. It was found that cracks such as cracks did not occur, the dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT hardly decreased, and the flexibility was excellent. Furthermore, it was found that the dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit ZT and flexibility are far superior to those of Comparative Example 2 (using only a conductive polymer having low heat resistance) in which no heat resistant resin is used.
The In-plane type Peltier cooling element provided with the heat conductive films of Examples 1 to 5 has a cooling surface (heat absorption side) and a heat exhaust surface (heat generation side) as compared with Comparative Example 1 in which no ionic liquid is added. Since the temperature difference is small, it was found that the cooling effect by applying voltage and the amount of exhaust heat that can be exchanged with heat are within the range, and that it has high-performance Peltier capability.
The In-plane type Peltier cooling element using the heat conductive film that is alternately provided with the high heat conduction part and the low heat conduction part of Example 1 and that can selectively dissipate heat in a specific direction includes only the low heat conduction part. Compared to Comparative Example 4 using a thermally conductive film that does not have thermal controllability, the temperature of the cooling surface (the endothermic side) is as low as -10 ° C to 0 ° C, and heat exchange is performed smoothly by the thermally conductive film. Therefore, since the temperature of the exhaust heat surface was sufficiently cooled by cooling with a chiller, it was found that the cooling effect was more excellent.
本発明のペルチェ冷却素子は、簡便に低コストで製造可能であり、熱電性能に優れる薄膜の熱電変換材料と、熱を特定の方向に選択的に放熱可能な熱伝導性フィルムとで構成されていることから、エレクトロニクス機器の小型化、コンパクト化にともなう機器内部の蓄熱を抑制する用途に用いることができる。例えば、半導体素子である、ＣＭＯＳ（Ｃｏｍｐｌｅｍｅｎｔａｒｙ Ｍｅｔａｌ Ｏｘｉｄｅ Ｓｅｍｉｃｏｎｄｕｃｔｏｒ Ｉｍａｇｅ Ｓｅｎｓｏｒ）、ＣＣＤ（Ｃｈａｒｇｅ Ｃｏｕｐｌｅｄ Ｄｅｖｉｃｅ）、ＭＥＭＳ（Ｍｉｃｒｏ Ｅｌｅｃｔｒｏ Ｍｅｃｈａｎｉｃａｌ Ｓｙｓｔｅｍｓ）、受光素子等の各種センサーの温度制御、光通信用レーザーや産業用高出力レーザーの温度制御、半導体分野におけるシリコンウェハーや薬液の温度制御等に用いられる。 The Peltier cooling element of the present invention can be easily manufactured at low cost, and is composed of a thin-film thermoelectric conversion material excellent in thermoelectric performance and a heat conductive film capable of selectively dissipating heat in a specific direction. Therefore, it can be used for the purpose of suppressing heat storage inside the equipment accompanying downsizing and downsizing of the electronic equipment. For example, a semiconductor device such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Image Sensor), a CCD (Charge Coupled Device), a MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems for various types of lasers for industrial control) It is used for temperature control of output laser, temperature control of silicon wafers and chemicals in the semiconductor field.
