The method for improving the co-firing mismatch of the LTCC greatly improves the problem of shrinkage matching between the conductive metal layer and the substrate on the premise of not influencing the sintering density of a product, so that the range of material selection is widened, the reliability of the LTCC substrate and a functional device is greatly improved, and more excellent electrical property is realized.
Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of ceramic material preparation methods, in particular to a method for improving co-fired mismatch of LTCC.
Background
The LTCC technology is one of the mainstream integrated packaging technologies at present, has many advantages, and electronic components prepared by using the LTCC technology have the advantages of high reliability, high performance, high frequency and the like, are important means for realizing the development of the current electronic components in the direction of miniaturization, light weight, integration and the like, and have been increasingly and widely applied.
However, the LTCC also has difficulties related to reliability, for example, shrinkage rate of the LTCC ceramic body when co-fired with the inner conductive paste is an important challenge, and is related to the quality of the multilayer metallized wiring. When the LTCC is co-fired, the mismatching of the sintering characteristics of the ceramic body and the conductive slurry is mainly reflected in that the sintering densification temperature is different; the sintering shrinkage rates of the substrate and the slurry are inconsistent; the rate of sintering densification does not match, etc. These mismatches tend to cause unevenness, warpage, delamination of the substrate surface after firing, and also a decrease in adhesion of metal wiring, etc. In practice, the ceramic body and the conductive paste with the same maximum shrinkage can be used, but the sintering densification speeds of the ceramic body and the conductive paste are not matched, the shrinkage rates are different to a certain extent, and if the ceramic body and the conductive paste are sintered conventionally, the sintered ceramic body and the inner metal conductive layer are not well combined together, and a large gap exists between the sintered ceramic body and the inner metal conductive layer. For some high-frequency functional devices or functional substrates, the metal layer and the ceramic body have a gap, which means that the structure of the whole product is changed, and the electric performance of the product is greatly influenced, such as the insertion loss of a filter is increased, the standing-wave ratio is poor, and the like.
In view of this, it is an urgent need to provide a method for improving co-firing mismatch of LTCC, and solve the problem of mismatch of temperature point and shrinkage rate of the LTCC ceramic body and the inner conductive paste during sintering process.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problems in the prior art, the invention provides a method for improving the co-firing mismatch of LTCC, which can greatly improve the shrinkage matching problem between a conductive metal layer and a substrate on the premise of not influencing the sintering density of a product, widen the material selection range, greatly improve the reliability of the LTCC substrate and a functional device and realize more excellent electrical property.
In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme provided by the invention is as follows:
in the co-firing process of an LTCC ceramic body and inner layer conductive paste, when the sintering temperature reaches the rapid shrinkage temperature interval of the inner layer conductive paste, the heating rate is increased, and when the sintering temperature exceeds the rapid shrinkage temperature interval of the conductive paste, the conventional heating rate is recovered;
when the sintering temperature is in the range from the current environmental temperature to 500 ℃, controlling the heating rate to be 1 ℃/min;
when the sintering temperature is between 500 ℃ and 600 ℃, controlling the heating rate to be 3.5 ℃/min;
when the sintering temperature is between 600 ℃ and 750 ℃, controlling the heating rate to be 5 ℃/min;
when the sintering temperature is between 750 ℃ and 870 ℃, the heating rate is controlled to be 3.5 ℃/min.
The invention provides a method for improving the co-firing mismatch of an LTCC, which sets a faster heating rate on a conductive paste rapid shrinkage starting temperature section, shortens the time of the conductive paste rapid shrinkage period, accelerates the reaching of a ceramic body rapid shrinkage temperature point, and then recovers the conventional heating rate, so that the co-firing mismatch of the LTCC ceramic body and an inner layer conductive paste can be improved under the condition of ensuring that the compactness of the ceramic body is not influenced, the mismatch of the sintered ceramic body and a metal conductive layer is reduced by about 7%, and the reliability of a product is improved.
