Positive temperature coefficient ceramic leadless ohmic electrode silver coating and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to the positive temperature coefficient ceramic leadless ohmic electrode silver coating.
Background technology
Because PTC (semistor) pottery is a kind of semiconductor ceramic material, in manufacture process, must make one deck ohmic electrode layer on its surface, eliminate the surface potential barrier of positive temperature coefficient ceramic, so that form good Ohmic contact between electrode layer and the porcelain body, its various electrical properties just can embody.Making one deck silver electrode layer on ohmic electrode layer again makes it carry out soldering with lead-in wire or pin.
Positive temperature coefficient ohmic electrode silver coating material is formed by raw material formulated such as micro silver powder, zinc powder, glass dust, organic carriers usually.Micro silver powder, zinc powder are the main components of slurry, play conduction and eliminate surface potential barrier in electrode, and glass dust melts in the electrode sintering process, forms bonded layer with the surface of electrode layer attached to ceramic body.Organic carrier plays the dispersion suspension effect, makes slurry can place for a long time and do not precipitate, and organic carrier makes slurry have certain flowability, thixotropy etc. simultaneously, thereby makes slurry have good printing performance.
Usually positive temperature coefficient ohmic electrode silver coating material all adopt the lower borosilicate lead of fusing point be frit as key compound, in the frit of this system, lead is its main composition, and very high ratio is arranged.With lead content in this silver of preparing slurry up to about 2%.Therefore, this slurry can cause bigger pollution to environment in making use.
In order to reduce electronic product pollution to environment in making use, " waste electronic andelectrical equipment decree " (WEEE decree) and " about in electronic electric equipment, banning use of some harmful substance decree (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) " (ROHS decree) have been issued in the Official Journal in European Union on February 13rd, 2003.Two decrees are converted to formal law on August 13rd, 2004, and on August 13rd, 2005 will formally be implemented the WEEE decree, and on July 1st, 2006 will formally be implemented the ROHS decree.Wherein the content of lead, mercury, Cr VI, Polybrominated biphenyl and Poly Brominated Diphenyl Ethers must not surpass 0.1% in the RoHS instruction regulation electronic product, and the content of cadmium must not surpass 0.01%.Except that European Union, global harmful substance control is all in constantly advancing.Japan, the U.S. also have been that legislation is used in the restriction of harmful substance.China Ministry of Information Industry has issued " electronics and IT products pollution control management way " and in execution on July 1 in 2006.Therefore, at present people all in the manufacturing process and the method that strive to find a kind of new leadless ohmic electrode silver coating.
Summary of the invention
The present invention provides a kind of positive temperature coefficient ceramic leadless ohmic electrode silver coating and preparation method thereof, abandon the traditional method that uses glass dust, utilize electrode layer when burning till, form the oxide bonding between the oxidation of one of nickel powder, zinc powder, aluminium powder or its any mixture self and the porcelain body, thereby make the surface of electrode layer firm attachment at ceramic body.
Technical scheme of the present invention is as follows:
The positive temperature coefficient ceramic leadless ohmic electrode silver coating is characterized in that the percentage by weight of its material component is:
Micro silver powder 20-60%
