Background
At present, the integration, high integration and microminiaturization of the electronic system of the weapon equipment are important development trends. In the radio frequency front end, a multi-chip module (MCM) is integrally manufactured by using a microwave multi-layer board, or a radio frequency microsystem is realized by using a hybrid integration means based on a traditional thick and thin film process, represented by LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic), and a radio frequency microsystem realized by using technologies such as High Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (HTCC) and multilayer High-precision BT-type PCBs, and the like, is gradually becoming the mainstream of the application.
In recent years, due to the development of microelectronic technology and with the development of bulk silicon micromachining technology, a wafer level assembly (WSA) is adopted to form an ultra-compact and ultra-miniature active sub-array, passive on-chip Integration (IPD), on-chip high-density copper interconnection multilayer wiring, TSV and wafer bonding are realized under the wafer technology, and a radio frequency microsystem is a new choice for developing a new technology based on a silicon-based MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System).
For the design of a radio frequency micro system, the problem of heat dissipation is always the key point of research, and particularly in the field of missile-borne phased array radars, the development of high power of the radio frequency micro system is severely restricted by a heat accumulation effect, so that the detection distance of the radars is influenced. The three-dimensional integrated power density of the microsystem is obviously increased, various chips, elements, interconnection, power supply systems and the like in the microsystem are closely arranged, the thermal problem is serious, and the thermal problem and the electromagnetic problem are mutually coupled and mutually influenced, so that the three-dimensional integrated power density becomes a key factor for restricting the working performance of a high-density integrated system.
In the design of radio frequency microsystems, the following heat dissipation technologies exist at present, but the following technologies all have various problems:
1) the heat pipe has various forms including folding, circulating and vibrating, but the integration level is not high.
2) Spray heat dissipation, directly to heat source spraying heat dissipation, need the low pressure, the practicality is not high.
3) Thermoelectric cooling, which utilizes the thermoelectric effect for cooling, but has low heat conduction efficiency.
4) The micro-channel adopts gas or liquid for heat conduction, has high efficiency, but needs to be synchronously completed with a device or substrate preparation process, has higher specificity and limited engineering usability.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a design of a radio frequency microsystem, which can combine high integration, high heat conduction efficiency, high practicability and long service life.
