本研究目標係針對CPU散熱系統相關的現有與發展中的科技為中心，探討與建立散熱系統的技術競爭策略。由於半導體製程的持續精密發展及個人電腦的執行功能與速度期望要求不斷上升，因此PC機殼內部的各部件功能亦逐漸成長，但硬體運轉衍生的多餘功率消耗，累積熱能造成溫度增高，對溫度敏感的半導體功能產生不穩定與燒毀的結果。傳統的銅鋁合金之散熱器很難在狹小的空間裡有效降低CPU過熱現象，因此散熱模組如何有效地控制機殼內的溫度，已經成為一台個人電腦功能與壽命的重要指標。本文先針對傳統及具有創新發展的散熱系統做整理分析與分類，將散熱技術的種類區分為散熱器、熱導管散熱模組、蒸汽腔板散熱系統及微型冷卻器等四類，探討其周圍網絡環境關鍵因素及內在優劣的交互影響，進行初階SWOT分析與問卷分析，以篩選初階因素，進行配對組合策略包括SO、WO、ST及WT策略，最後藉由技術發展規劃與競爭優勢的策略思考，劃分組合策略為五項，包括領先創新型、發展防禦型、應用改良型、跟隨模仿型與機會主義型，提供CPU散熱技術策略發展之參考。本研究的策略成果可以提供散熱產品公司在此技術發展策略架構上，建立其獨特的技術發展藍圖，滿足企業專屬的技術規劃需要。 The study object is to investigate and establish the technology competitive stategy for CPU cooling systems. As the successfully continuous development of semiconductor process and the extended requirement of the multi-function performances of PC, the CPU speed and the consuming power are increased obviously. The increased power results in the rising of the temperature in PC and the harmful effects upon the semiconductor‘s operations. Recently, the conventional copper/aluminum cooler is confronting the difficulty of efficiently dissipating enough heat from high-power PC in a cramped space. The heat dissipation technology is an important index for the performance and life-span of the newly issued CPUs. The beginning of the study is to analyze and classify several conventional and new cooling technologies into four types which are the fin cooler, the micro heat-pipe module, the vapor chamber cooling system, and the micro cooler. Basic SWOT analyses and the questionnaire have been completed after the investigation of the external network key factors and the internal strength-weakness factors. Refined SWOT analyses are then accomplished to generate strategies for SO, WO, ST, and WT combinations. Combined strategies are categorized into five competitive-advantage strategies which are of innovation, defense, improvement, follower, and opportunist. The outcome of the study provides the framework of the technological development strategy for those enterprises providing cooling solutions of CPU to establish their specific technology roadmaps.
