    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to a heat transfer device useful for removing the heat generated from a heat source. The present invention provides structures comprising anisotropic thermal conducting substance in a heat transfer device, thereby directing the heat away from the heat source at high efficiency.
  • 2. Description of the Prior Art
  • A typical heat transfer devices such as the heat sink for the cooling of an electronic device comprise metal structure for directing the heat from a heat source to a larger distributed area for dissipation. The heat conducting materials are typically isotropic that direct heat in all directions according to the temperature gradient. In such devices and structures, the heat transfer is limited by the temperature gradient according to the thermal distribution of the isotropic thermal material. In a heat transfer device comprising a heat pipe, a cooling substance and an associated structure for directing the cooling substance are provided. Multiple phases with phase transitions of the cooling substance combined with capillary action provide a directed heat transfer, thereby improving the heat removal and the efficiency to direct the heat to a longer distance away from the heat source. In such devices, the coexistence of two phases and the channeling of the cooling substance creates a temperature distribution that does not follow the isotropic temperature gradient, and the heat transfer efficiency may exceed the isotropic thermal conduction. However, various boundaries and interfaces, the interaction between the container and the cooling substance are still limited by the isotropic thermal conduction. Such limitation is a major obstacle in improving the heat transfer efficiency.
  • As the technology drives to continue scaling down in size and scaling up in capacity, the advanced CPU, high speed mobile transmitters, CPV, high power or high density LEDs, are operating at a power density exceeding 100 W/cm2. In some applications, a thermal management to handle a power density exceeding 300 W/cm2 is in critical need. The temperature is becoming a critical limiting factor for the electronic device to continue to scale down in size or scale up in capacity. The present invention provides structures and methods to improve the efficiency and rate of heat transfer applicable for the cooling of a heat source.
