Abstract

Multilayer elements are claimed and described which have at least one layer of a film comprising carbon nanotubes (CNTs) aligned laterally within or substantially within a matrix material selected from a metal or metal oxide. The composition forms a film that is deposited on a substrate. The lateral alignment of the CNTs allows heat to dissipate laterally along the film. A process for producing such multilayer elements is described and includes growing CNTs on a substrate or applying a composition comprising CNTs to a substrate and then applying a matrix material to form a CNT film and wherein the CNTs are aligned laterally and substantially within the matrix material to form a heat dissipating layer.

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a substrate having a carbon nanotube (cnt)-based film heat sink. The invention also relates to substrates having such thin film heat sinks. These substrates can be used as a platform for fabricating devices having hot spots. The underlying CNT film will effectively conduct heat away from the hotspots (in-plane to the substrate) to spread heat throughout the substrate or to the strategically placed heat sink. The films comprise embedded CNTs in a metal or metal oxide wherein the CNTs are aligned substantially in-plane to the film and wherein the film comprises from about 1% to about 60% by volume of dense packed CNTs . Preferably, the film comprises at least 30% by volume of packed dense CNTs. This method produces a film having a high to very high lateral thermal conductivity (more than about 300 to 1 watt per kelvin (slip 111) due to CNT alignment and bulk density. The invention also includes films having CNTs embedded in a metal or metal oxide and wherein the CNTs are aligned substantially planarly within the film. This application claims the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the benefit of the present disclosure. [Prior Art] Since individual carbon nanotubes have been shown to have a thermal conductivity of 25 to 6600 watts per Kelvin meter, the carbon nanotubes may be an unusual heat sink. Diamond-like carbon has excellent thermal conductivity (22 watts per Kelvin meter)' but these films are difficult to grow and the grain size limits the film thickness in micrometers (micr〇n regime). 154109.doc 201144741 Carbon nanotubes can be grown into any self-supporting vertical array from virtually any pattern defined by pre-patterned catalysts. In order for the CNT system to be self-supporting, the minimum feature size is in the micron system. These arrays can also grow inside nanometer-sized pores, such as anodized, where a smaller size can be achieved down to 5 nanometers. One implementation of a CNT-based heat sink uses an array grown in an alumina nanopore and is filled with a metal or metal oxide for thermal contact. Heat sinks are placed on the top and bottom of the array to transfer Q heat from one side of the array to the other. Prior art CNT-based heat sinks have the potential to limit thermal conductivity to 20 to 200 watts per Kelvin meter. There are several reasons for this. First, for composites made from grown CNTs, the volume fraction of CNTs in the composite is very low, less than 3%. This is one of the basic results of CNT* growth, where the minimum catalyst gap limits CNT density. Although several methods have been used to increase the density of CNTs from 3% to 5%, this is at the expense of removing CNTs from other regions, which may limit their use to applications such as heat pipe applications. Achieving the heat-dissipating potential of CNTs—The second barrier is a very high thermal impedance at the nano-substrate interface. Theoretical modeling has shown that phonons of soft materials (such as liquids and polymers) do not fit into hard nanophonon phonons. This is especially important since most of the thermal conductance in CNTs is based on phonon mode rather than teleport mode. For CNTs based on vertical arrays, the additional problem is that different nanotube lengths result in only a small portion of the CNTs contacting the heat sink at the top. A third difficulty is that the alignment of the CNTs relative to one another is critical to good thermal conduction between the coffee makers. Even with the presence of intervening materials, the good thermal conductivity between cnt is 154109.doc 201144741 to /, sufficient overlap of the parallel alignment. The thermal conductivity phase of CNTs has also been shown: in length, where longer CNTs have the highest thermal conductivity. The size of the device is shrinking and the bulk density is increased, and the generation of heat becomes a critical issue for device performance. It is not possible to dissipate heat quickly enough to limit the maximum bulk density of the current leveling electronics. The invention solves the problem of the hot spot on the wafer. Although such hotspots can occupy a small portion of a wafer, they cause fatal failure. The coffee cooler described herein quickly spreads heat away from the hot spot to prevent such overheating accidents. Accordingly, the present invention also encompasses a method of dissipating a hot spot on a wafer that includes applying a film having the properties of the present invention. The films produced by the process of the present invention will have superior lateral thermal conductivity and only need to be about 5 nanometers to 2 nanometers thick. The thinness of the films reduces the thermal resistance to the underlying substrate and enhances the dissipation of heat to the substrate after lateral removal of heat from the hot spot. The conductivity of the films can be adjusted or fine tuned by selecting a particular metal or metal oxide based material. The robust nature of CNTs will make these substrates an excellent platform for current state of the art devices. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a seed heat dissipation composition comprising a carbon nanotube (CNT), and a σ substance and a matrix material (metal or metal oxide), wherein the CNTs are In this base material, this is roughly flat. The CNT composition is applied to a substrate and treated with a matrix material to open/layer the element. CNTs such as shai may optionally contain a polymeric coating surrounding one of the (3) τ. The polymeric coating can be present as an intermediate coating that can be dissipated during subsequent heat treatment to permit use for -filling or adhering materials - 154109.doc 201144741 Ο 空隙 voids or spaces. The term "substantially parallel" or "substantially parallel arrangement" means that 60% to 10,000% of the CNTs in the matrix are parallel to each other. The term "parallel" means that the -CNT segment is aligned with one of the -Nano CNTs at an average angle of no more than about 3 degrees and the range of parallel overlap is between about 丨(8) nm to about 5 microns. a distance. The term "substantially within" means that greater than about 50% of such cnts are embedded in the matrix. The percentage of CNTs within the matrix is essentially layer dependent, which means, for example, that for a layer of a single film, the intermediate CNT layer is completely within the matrix; since the underlayer will have some contact with the substrate, It is not completely immersed in the matrix and is "substantially within the matrix" and the top layer can be covered by the substrate or remain uncovered. The CNTs are also aligned in-plane with the film support layer and or the additional support layer. The term "within" means that at least a portion of a plurality of CNTs (e.g., about 1% or greater) are within the matrix material. In some cases, and in some embodiments, at least one CNT top layer may remain uncovered. The invention thus comprises a CNT film having a free CNT top layer and in a substantially parallel configuration and aligned in-plane with a support layer and underlying CNT layer. The invention further relates to a film comprising a matrix material and a CNT wherein the CNTs are laterally aligned within or substantially parallel to the matrix material and are parallel or substantially parallel to one another. The thickness of the film is from about 3 nanometers to about 25 nanometers. The present invention relates to a multilayer component comprising a first layer selected from a substrate and at least one additional layer comprising a composition comprising a matrix material and a plurality of CNTs, wherein the CNTs are or substantially The substrates are laterally aligned and substantially parallel to each other. The present invention is also directed to a method for fabricating a multilayer component having an additional layer of a support layer from a substrate, the composition comprising an additional layer a CNT and a matrix material, wherein the CNTs are aligned in parallel along at least one of the layers and the lateral direction of the substrate. In an embodiment, a method of laterally dissipating heat dissipation points in a substrate comprises: (a) Applying a CNT film or composition to the substrate, wherein the cnt film comprises a CNT and a matrix material and wherein the CNTs are aligned in a lateral direction of the film and are substantially parallel; and (__hotspot lateral consumption The heat-dissipating composition comprises a plurality of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) arranged in a substantially parallel configuration and laterally aligned within the -f material. In various embodiments, at least one of the CNT layers is substantially within the matrix material The CNTs comprise at least 5% of the composition on a volume ratio basis (4). The (10) comprises at least 15% V/V of the composition. The CNTs comprise at least 3% by volume of the composition. The matrix material comprises a metal or metal oxygen A composition comprising one of CNTs having a lateral alignment in a substantially parallel configuration within the matrix material. The CNT comprises at least 2% (v/v) of the volume of the film. The (4) includes at least the volume of the film. 30% (v/v). A multilayer component having a --layer of a substrate and v additional layers comprising a film having: a plurality of laterally aligned CNTs and which are substantially parallel; The other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the description of the <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; </ RTI> <RTIgt; The invention will be described in the following figures. The invention relates to a multilayer component as shown in Figures 1A to 1B. The cross-sectional view (Figure 1A) shows a substrate (10) which can be any material However, in an embodiment, the crucible has a hot film on the top of the nanotube (9) protruding from the page. The matrix material (30) may be a heat conductive material, but is preferably selected from a metal or a metal oxide. The nanotubes are aligned such that they are substantially parallel to each other The thermal conductivity between the CNTs is increased, and they are also densely packed to give a high volume fraction. For single-walled nanotubes, the diameter of the CNT can range from about 0.5 nm to about 4 nm. Within the scope, this will give the painted hot film a thickness of about 3 nm or about Μ nanometer. It is also possible to use a multi-walled nanotube, but a larger diameter of about 1 〇 nanometer to 7 〇 nanometer. Will result in a film that is coarser than those produced using single-walled nanotubes. To achieve maximum thermal conductivity, the CNTs should be at least 丨 microns to 2 microns in length and preferably longer, in the range of 5 microns to 5 microns. Figure 13 is rotated 90 degrees and shows a preferred but non-essential feature: the nanotube layers are stacked (50) in a brick manner. This improves the heat transfer between the layers and within the layers as indicated by the large arrows. An important aspect of brick stacking is the improvement of overall lateral thermal conductivity as a result of improved interlayer heat transfer. Although three layers are illustrated, - only two layers should be required and more than three layers can be used. The substrate can be used as a heat sink or several structures can be placed on the side of the film to extract heat. Finally, it should be noted that ideally depicting individual CNTs, the actual membrane of a single-walled CNT will likely contain a mixture of individual CNTs and rope-like CNTs, where a rope is a collection of two or more CNTs that are similar to those in a rope. The fibers are bonded together. 154109.doc 201144741 Langmuir-Blodgett method for the manufacture of membranes A compact and aligned nanotube monolayer can be produced by the Langmuir-Blodgett deposition technique. In general, the compound can form a single layer on the liquid subphase as long as the compound does not dissolve in the subphase. For example, a solution of citric acid in hexane can be added to the aqueous subphase, and the citric acid will be evenly dispersed above the water as the hexane is evaporated. The surface area can be reduced by a movable barrier to deposit the tannic acid into a dense monolayer which can then be transferred to the substrate. Similarly, the nanotube system is highly insoluble in water. They are slightly soluble in a solvent such as dichlorodecane (DCM). The solubility of CNTs in DCM can be enhanced by the use of various surfactants or polymers. In particular, DCM with poly(m-styrene-co--2,5-dioctyloxy-p-styrene) (PmPV) greatly enhances CNT solubility and has been used to disperse CNTs on water subphases for fabrication. LB single layer. The nanotube solution preferably in PmP V DCM is dispersed on the surface of the water in a closed cell. The surface area decreases with a movable barrier until the CNTs on the surface are compressed into alignment. The CNTs on the surface of the water constitute a film. The CNT film is deposited onto the substrate by pulling a previously immersed substrate vertically upward through the CNT film. The CNT film deposited on the substrate in this manner is not completely aligned, but has a nanotube like a hair that bends back and forth. An important aspect is that the membranes are dense and the nanotubes have sufficient local alignment to have good thermal conductivity between each other. Since the final structure can have several layers, the gaps common in LB single layers can be tolerated. This method is suitable for single or multi-wall types of nanotubes. The readily available nanotubes have a length ranging from 0.5 microns to 20 microns and are typically in the range of 154109.doc -10- 201144741 1 micron to 5 microns after the dissolution process. Figure 2A schematically illustrates the coating of a single organic polymer or surfactant layer (70) of CNTs deposited by the LB technique. Although not required by the present invention, the organic layer (e.g., PmPV) improves CNT dispersion for LB formation and also serves as one of the spacers for CNTs. Figure 2 shows that the polymer has been removed by thermal oxidation at temperatures greater than 250 degrees Celsius and less than 500 degrees Celsius without damaging the CNTs. The space system is important because it allows the filler material to reach the substrate 0 and promotes good adhesion of the film. The fabrication of the film stack is shown in Figures 3A through 3F. This method may or may not be used with the organic layers illustrated in Figures 2A through 2B. Step 3 shows the aligned CNTs (1〇〇) that have been deposited by the LB technique. Next, a thin (5 angstroms to 20 angstroms) metal or metal oxide ("2 Å)) is deposited to adhere to the substrate and fill the space around the CNTs as shown in the step. This constitutes a full layer. The easiest way to deposit this filler film is by atomic layer deposition (ALD), which allows conformal deposition of the film by layer-by-layer control. Examples of the depositable matrix material 〇 include platinum (Pt), ruthenium (Ru), alumina (Al 2 〇 3) '铪 铪 (Hf 〇 2) and 矽 矽 (Si 〇 2). These examples are non-limiting and any metal or metal oxide can be selected as the matrix material. By selecting the precursor and deposition conditions, it is possible to control whether the CNT is completely covered on the top or only on the side. This type of adjustment controls the (four) combination between the (10) layers. The filler material or matrix material may be deposited by other methods (such as chemical deposition, physical vapor deposition, electrochemical deposition, or spin coating) but there will be a sacrifice in control and the minimum thickness may be in the tens of nanometers. In the scope. Additional layers can be created by repeating the steps from step 154109.doc 201144741 3B, as shown in steps 3C through 3F. This will automatically generate a random brick stack. Quartz Transfer Method for Film Formation A second method produces a highly aligned single-walled nanotube having an extremely long length ranging from 5 microns to 5 microns. CNTs with nearly complete parallel alignment can be grown using substrates such as quartz or sapphire at high density (eg, 1 to 5 CNTs per micron) and long lengths (eg, 5 to 1 〇〇〇 micron) . The nanotubes grown in this manner can then be transferred to other substrates with minimal loss by a fully elaborated method. The CNTs shown in Figures 3A through 3F can be deposited by transfer from quartz or sapphire. Since then, this method will be called the quartz transfer method. In certain embodiments and as set forth below in the quartz transfer method set forth in Example 3, a gold layer can be used as an intermediate layer to transfer CNTs to the substrate. The gold can then be removed and a matrix material selected from the group consisting of primary, secondary or other metals can be added as desired. The density of each layer of CNTs will be less than the density of the LB process, making it possible to require more layers to make the final film. However, one of the benefits of this quartz transfer method is to control the starting position of the CNTs by patterning the catalyst. This allows precise control of the overlap length. The extremely long CNT length also allows for the maximum thermal conductivity of cnt and the long overlap length between layers. Other methods of fabrication Other methods of depositing nanotube layers can also be used. For example, the simplest method is by spin coating a substrate with a solution of a nanotube. However, it is more difficult to control the uniformity and alignment of the CNTs by this method. The following examples are intended to further illustrate certain embodiments of the invention and are not limited to 154109.doc ι〇 201144741. Example 1 - A suspension of single-walled carbon nanotubes (5 mg per ml of 〇·〇) and PmPV (i mg per ml) was made by sonication for 1 hour in DCM.

The CNT suspension (〇·5 ml) was added to the subphase and Allowing its η to equilibrate as the DCM evaporates. The surface area is reduced until the pressure isotherm indicates that a dense packed CNT monolayer has been formed.

A 5 liter wafer was placed in an atomic layer deposition chamber at a temperature of Celsius to deposit 5 angstrom conformal platinum. This is achieved by alternately pulsing the platinum precursor - methyl (methylcyclopentadienyl) platinum (IV) with oxygen. Use the following pulse sequence per cycle: 0.5 sec 1 &gt; 1 precursor, wait 5 seconds, take a gas and wait for 5 seconds. Approximately 15 to 40 cycles yielded 15 ounces of platinum. This is done with a matrix - #料- CNT layer. This method was repeated twice more to produce a three-layer film having a total thickness of 45 angstroms. The hot film has a cnt filling fraction of greater than 7%. 〃 Example 2 This method is similar to Example i. The deposition of oxidation is the beginning of the replacement. This is done by alternating water pulses with the alumina precursor trimethylaluminum (tma). Shaw deposited 15 angstroms using 15 cycles of the following pulse sequence: 〇 015 sec for 015 sec, wait 5 sec, pulse ΤΜΑ 0·015 sec and wait 5 sec. Example 3: A 4 inch diameter quartz wafer (my slit) was killed by means of a standard lithography with a catalyst (1 angstrom electron beam distilled iron). The pattern consists of a line extending across the width of the wafer 154109.doc 201144741 and separated by a width of one micron of 50 microns. The lines are oriented such that they are perpendicular to the direction of CNT growth on the quartz substrate. The quartz substrate was placed in a 5 inch tube furnace and a single wall nanotube was grown at 8 degrees Celsius with an argon flow of 4,500 standard cubic centimeters (sccm) per minute through the ethanol bubbler. The CNTs are grown between the catalyst wires at a linear density of 2 cn cs per micron to a length of from 40 microns to 5 microns. The first step in transferring the cnt to another substrate is to vaporize 1 00 angstroms onto the top of the Cnts. Press the hot tape onto the gold. The CNTs and gold are pulled away from the stone by pulling the thermal tape. The thermal tape-gold-CNT stack was pressed onto a 4 inch wafer with the CNT side facing the wafer. Heating the wafer above the release temperature (9 degrees Celsius) allows the tape to be removed while leaving the gold-CNT film attached to the wafer. The gold is removed using an iodine or potassium iodide etch to leave CNTs attached to the germanium substrate. Alumina was deposited by atomic layer deposition (Ald) deposition as in Example 2 or as in Example 2. The resulting hot film had only one of 3% filling fraction. This is achieved by repeating the method five times. /. One fills the rate. This description of the invention has been presented for purposes of illustration and description.
