Abstract:With the development of high integration of electronic chips, the problem of chip heat dissipation becomes increasingly prominent. The microchannel heat sink is widely used owing to its superior heat dissipation performance. In this paper, the latest research results are introduced from the three aspects of flow medium, production material and microchannel configuration, which are the main factors affecting the performance of heat exchanger. Analysis results show that some factors, including width-height ratio of slot, entrance and export effect, surface roughness, channel porosity, etc, which are neglected in conventional studies, also have a great effect on the performance of chip microchannel heat exchanger. And also the shortages in present researches are pointed out, and the future developments are prospected.
