In the heat dissipation module manufacturing method of the present embodiment, firstly, the first substrate 110 is provided as shown in FIG. 1A.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 1C, the second substrate 120 is provided, and the second substrate 120 is bonded to the first substrate 110 to cover the groove 113 and form a chamber 116. Next, as shown in FIG. 1D, the working fluid 130 is filled into the chamber 116, and the chamber 116 is sealed. Finally, as shown in FIG. 1E, the connecting portion 112c is bent to obtain a heat dissipation module 100.

In the present embodiment, the steps of bonding the second substrate 120 to the first substrate 110 and filling the chamber 116 with the working fluid 130 may include, firstly, placing the second substrate 120 on the first substrate 110. Subsequently, the second substrate 120 is soldered on the first substrate 110 to cover the groove 113 in order to form the chamber 116 and to reserve an injection hole 122. The method for soldering the second substrate 120 to the first substrate 110 includes diffusion bonding but is not limited thereto. After that, the chamber 116 is vacuumized. Next, the working fluid 130 is filled into the chamber 116 through the injection hole 122. Finally, the injection hole 122 is soldered by using a solder in order to seal the injection hole 122. In other embodiments, the method for soldering the second substrate 120 on the first substrate 110 includes applying solder bonding.

Referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, in the present embodiment, the heat dissipation module manufacturing method further includes performing the second etching on a surface 118a of the first substrate 110 to form at least one accommodating space 114. It should be noted here, the sequence of the steps of performing the first etching and the second etching on the surface 118b and the surface 118a of the first substrate 110 are not restricted in the present embodiment and are determined according to requirements.

As shown in FIG. 1E, the first substrate 110 has a thickness T1 except for a portion having the accommodating space 114. The thickness T1 is between 0.3 millimeters and 0.4 millimeters as an example. The heat dissipation module 100 has a thickness T2 at a portion having the chamber 116. The thickness T2 is between 0.3 millimeters and 0.5 millimeters as an example.

FIG. 2 is three-dimensional schematic view illustrating a heat dissipation module formed by a heat dissipation module manufacturing method according to one embodiment of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1E and FIG. 2, the heat dissipation module manufacturing method in the present embodiment further includes bending the connecting portion 112c to form one of first portion 112a, two of second portions 112b, and two of connecting portions 112c.

Each of the second portions 112b has the respective chamber 116 covered by the second substrate 120. Each of the chambers 116 is filled by the respective working fluid 130. In the present embodiment, the first portion 112a and the second portion 112b present a flat plate shape and are parallel to each other, but other embodiments (not shown) are not limited thereto. Otherwise, the number of the first portions 112a, the second portions 112b, and the connecting portions 112c are not restricted.

Referring to FIG. 2, the second etching may further be performed on the surface 118a of the first substrate 110 to form at least one through hole 119. The through hole 119 may be used to accommodate the electronic element having great height, such as camera lens.

Referring to FIG. 3, the electronic device 50 includes a heat dissipation module 100 and a plurality of electronic modules (such as electronic modules 52b, 52c, 52d, and 52e). The first portion 112a and the second portion 112b are respectively in contact with the electronic modules 52b, 52c, 52d, and 52e disposed on a circuit board 52a. The heat of the electronic modules 52b, 52c, 52d, and 52e is conducted through the first substrate 110 to the working fluid 130 inside the chamber 116 of the first substrate 110, so as to perform heat dissipation.

For example, the second portion 112b is in contact with the electronic module 52b having a small height. The first portion 112a is in contact with the electronic module 52c and the electronic module 52d having medium height. A part of the electronic module 52e having great height may be accommodated into the accommodating space 114 and is in contact with the first portion 112a, so as to reduce the overall thickness of the electronic device 50. Therefore, the first substrate 110 having the accommodating space 114 and the connecting portion 112c may be in contact with more parts of the electronic modules 52b, 52c, 52d, and 52e. Accordingly, in the heat dissipation module manufacturing method, the heat dissipation module 100, and the electronic device 50 of the disclosure, the first substrate 110 has a plurality of chambers 116, and the electronic modules 52b, 52c, 52d, and 52e are simultaneously in contact with the first substrate 110, so the heat dissipation module 100 has a large heat transfer area to transfer the heat of the electronic modules 52b, 52c, 52d, and 52e, in order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation module 100 and the electronic device 50. Moreover, the first portion 112a of the first substrate 110 is etched to form the accommodating space 114 which is used to accommodate the electronic module 52e. Hence, the internal space of the electronic device 50 can be effectively utilized, and, at the same time, it meets the design trend towards developing thinner electronic device 50.

Summarily, in the heat dissipation module manufacturing method, the heat dissipation module, and the electronic device of the disclosure, the first substrate has a plurality of chambers, and the electronic modules are simultaneously in contact with the first portion and the second portion of the first substrate, so the heat dissipation module has a large heat transfer area to transfer the heat of the electronic modules, in order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation module and the electronic device. Moreover, the first portion of the first substrate is etched to form the accommodating space which is used to accommodate the electronic module.
