Abstract:Based on the constructal theory and the numerical calculation method of multi-physical field coupling, the multi-chip module was established with uniform heat generation under natural convection. By taking the maximum temperature, maximum stress and maximum deformation as optimal objects, and taking the number of chips and the ratio of chip length to width as the design variables, the influences of chip layout evolution on the system performance are discussed under the total area constraints of printed circuit board and chips. The results show that the constructal optimization is an 8-chips layout with a chip aspect ratio of 2.1 under different performance indicators. The maximum temperature, maximum stress and maximum deformation of the multi-chip module can be reduced by up to 16.5%, 28.3%, and 26.9%, respectively. The effect of two degree of freedom optimization on the number of chips and the ratio of chip length to width is obviously better than that of single degree of freedom optimization only on the ratio of chip length to width.
