Preparation method of ultra-pure submicron silicon micropowder foam
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of deep processing of nonmetallic minerals, relates to the field of high-end electronics such as EMC (epoxy film plastic package) and CCL (copper clad laminate) manufacturing, and particularly relates to a preparation method of ultra-pure submicron silicon micropowder foam.
Background
With the rapid development of the electronic industry, particularly the strict requirement of 5G communication chips, electronic devices are moving toward high frequency and high speed, high power density and portability. The resin has excellent insulating property, chemical corrosion resistance and high bonding strength, and is widely applied to electronic insulating materials. But the pure resin has poor mechanical strength, and the inorganic filler is added to improve the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the resin insulation composite material, so that the reduction of dielectric constant, dielectric loss and cost are necessary choices. In order to meet the above requirements, adding fillers such as silica micropowder is the preferred solution, and high purity, ultra-fine and low halogen are the development directions of silica micropowder.
Currently, the high-end electronic grade submicron silica powder market is mainly monopolized by Admatech and Denka company in Japan, and the development of high-purity superfine low-submicron silica powder is urgent. In order to meet the requirement of superfine scale production, a wet process is generally adopted, but the agglomeration in the drying process and the secondary pollution in the scattering process are all the time industry problems due to the structural crystal and surface property characteristics of quartz. In short, the dried powder generally generates soft agglomeration and hard agglomeration to a certain extent due to physical adsorption and chemical bonding, has compact and blocky appearance, generally needs to be scattered in a ball milling or crushing mode, and can be obtained into submicron-sized silicon powder through jet milling and classification. It is noted that the reduction of SiO due to the doping of impurity ions (Al, zr) into grinding media, equipment liners, conveying pipelines and the like is unavoidable during the breaking process 2 The content of the silicon powder finally influences the purity of the silicon powder. Taking ball milling and scattering, lining with alumina, and grinding with zirconia as examples (phi 3-phi 5mm, zrO 2 More than or equal to 95 percent) and 1.0 hour of breaking time, considering that the ore-to-dielectric ratio is 1:7 and SiO 2 The chemical quality of the silicon micropowder is finally reduced from 99.94% to 99.82%, which is not satisfactory.
