The 5G communication adopts higher microwave and even millimeter wave frequency bands, which brings new technical requirements for passive devices such as ceramic filters and the like, and the metallization process is of great importance to the performance of the ceramic filters. The metallization of microwave dielectric ceramics is a key technology in the manufacture of microwave dielectric devices, and directly influences key performance indexes of the devices, such as quality factors (Q values), reliability and the like. At present, most metallization processes adopted for ceramic filters are to coat high-temperature silver paste on the surface of ceramic by means of screen printing, silver spraying or silver dipping and the like and then sinter the ceramic. The silver paste sintering method for screen printing is a method of high-temperature sintering after the silver paste is screen printed on the surface of the ceramic, and the difference of the formula of the conductive silver paste and the sintering process of the silver paste easily causes the unsmooth silver layer sintered on the surface of the ceramic and low effective conductivity, and influences parameters such as the Q value, the adhesive force of the metal film layer, the surface roughness and the like of the product. The silver spraying or silver dipping process has high requirements, the current resistance and temperature resistance of the product are poor, and the metal film layer is easy to foam and fall off under high current and high temperature.
Although the technology of taking noble metal silver as the conductive filler is mature, and the product has better conductivity, the silver as the noble metal has the defects of scarce resources, high cost and the like, and the thickness, adhesion and weldability of the silver layer coated on the surface of the ceramic have poor consistency and the like in the silk-screen, silver-spraying or silver-dipping process due to the uniformity of the silver paste and the reliability of equipment, so that the metallized ceramic filter has poor performance stability.
