Preparation method of ultra-pure submicron silicon micro-powder through foaming
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of nonmetal mineral deep processing, relates to the high-end electronic field of EMC (epoxy film plastic package) and CCL (copper clad laminate) manufacturing and the like, and particularly relates to a preparation method for foaming ultra-pure submicron silicon micro powder.
Background
With the rapid development of the electronic industry, especially the strict requirements of 5G communication chips, electronic devices are developing towards high frequency, high speed, high power density and light weight. Because of its excellent insulating property, chemical resistance and high adhesive strength, the resin is widely used in electronic insulating materials. However, pure resin has poor mechanical strength, and the addition of inorganic filler improves the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the resin insulation composite material, and the reduction of dielectric constant, dielectric loss and cost is the inevitable choice. In order to meet the above requirements, adding fillers such as silica powder is the preferred solution, and high purity, ultra-fine and low halogen are the development directions of silica powder.
At present, the market of high-end electronic grade submicron silicon powder is mainly monopolized by Japan Admatech and Denka company, and the development of high-purity superfine low-submicron grade silicon powder is urgent. In order to meet the requirement of superfine scale production, a wet process is generally adopted, but secondary pollution in the process of agglomeration and scattering in the drying process is always an industrial problem due to the structural crystal and surface property characteristics of quartz. In brief, the dried powder generally generates a certain degree of soft agglomeration and hard agglomeration due to physical adsorption and chemical bonding, is hardened and compact in appearance, and generally needs a ball milling or crushing modeThe silicon micro powder with submicron level can be obtained after the dispersion and the air flow crushing and classification. It is noted that the reduction of SiO by the doping of impurity ions (Al, Zr) into the grinding media, the lining of the equipment, the conveying pipelines, etc. cannot be avoided during the scattering process2The content of the silicon micro powder finally influences the purity of the silicon micro powder. Taking ball milling and scattering, lining with alumina, and milling medium zirconia as an example (phi 3-phi 5mm, ZrO)2Not less than 95 percent) and 1.0 hour of break-up time, considering the mineral-medium ratio of 1:7 and SiO2The reduction from 99.94% to 99.82% finally results in the chemical quality of the silica micropowder being unsatisfactory.
