Description

Method for interconnecting upper and lower conducting layers of ceramic substrate and substrate
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of power electronic device packaging, in particular to the field of ceramic surface metallization and functionalization, particularly the field of a ceramic substrate directly coated with copper and an active metal solder ceramic substrate, and relates to a production process for interconnecting an upper conductive layer and a lower conductive layer of the ceramic substrate.
Background
The current methods for interconnecting the upper and lower conductive layers of the ceramic substrate are mainly classified into three types. The method comprises the steps of firstly, laser drilling a ceramic substrate, sintering a copper layer on the surface of the ceramic, then manually placing a copper disc (copper sheet) or a copper ball into a ceramic hole, sintering a copper layer on the other surface of the ceramic, and finally applying a certain pressure to the position of the hole to deform the upper copper layer and the lower copper layer on the surface of the ceramic substrate, so that the copper layers are fully contacted with the copper disc or the copper ball in the ceramic hole, and the upper copper layer and the lower copper layer are interconnected; the other method is to metallize the ceramic through hole first in a chemical plating or electroplating mode and then metallize the two sides of the ceramic, thereby realizing interconnection of the upper copper layer and the lower copper layer. Yet another approach is to fill the holes with a conductive electronic paste to achieve hole metallization. However, the three methods for interconnecting the upper and lower conductive layers of the metallized ceramic substrate have respective technical defects. Aiming at the first method for realizing interconnection of upper and lower copper layers of a metallized ceramic substrate by implanting copper discs (copper sheets) or copper balls, if the diameter of a punched hole on the ceramic substrate is too small or the number of the punched holes is too large, the process has huge workload and cannot realize the purpose of interconnection of upper and lower conductive layers of the substrate. Aiming at the second interconnection of the upper copper layer and the lower copper layer realized in a chemical plating or electroplating mode, the method has the risks of potential atmospheric pollution, water pollution and the like, and the process cost is higher. Taking the high-power LED as an example, the high-power LED needs to be punched more than 100 holes with an aperture of about 0.1mm generally by using the electrical signals of the upper and lower interconnection of the 109.5 × 54.5 × 0.50mm metal layer of the aluminum nitride (AlN) ceramic substrate, which is almost impossible to achieve if a copper disc is manually filled into the holes; if chemical plating and electroplating are adopted, the time and the cost are high; the third method of hole metallization by filling electronic paste is difficult to control, and the conductive performance is affected due to the existence of the glass phase of the conductive electronic paste, especially as the thickness of the ceramic and the diameter of the hole increase, the difficulty of discharging organic matters in the conductive electronic paste increases correspondingly.

The method adopts a mode of combining a hole side wall metallization process with a chemical nickel plating process and a chemical gold plating process to realize the multilayer interconnection of the substrates, and is favorable for solving the packaging interconnection heat dissipation problem of the SiC power tube or the GaN power tube, but the metallization of the ceramic substrate holes is realized by the chemical plating mode, the process is complex, the time is longer, the cost is higher, the environmental protection pressure is higher, and the mode of the invention can not be basically realized if the ceramic substrate holes are too many or too large.

For a further understanding of the invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples.
The metal piece is a copper wire as an example to illustrate the specific embodiment of the invention. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the interconnection of upper and lower conductive layers of a ceramic substrate, and the specific steps are as follows:
as shown in fig. 2, in step 1 of the present invention, a through hole with a predetermined size is drilled at a predetermined position of the ceramic wafer by using laser; the through holes are obtained in a laser drilling mode, the diameter of each through hole and the diameter of each copper wire are matched with each other, so that the metal wires and the through holes are in close fit, the number of the through holes is larger than or equal to 1, and the specific drilling number can be selected according to actual requirements.
Further, the ceramic substrate to be perforated may be a ceramic substrate having a hole of a predetermined shape and position, such as a ceramic substrate having a predetermined shape and position purchased from a ceramic substrate supplier, and the material of the ceramic substrate may be alumina ceramic (Al)2O3) Zirconia-doped reinforced alumina ceramic (ZTA), zirconia ceramic (ZrO)2) Aluminum nitride ceramic (AlN) and silicon nitride ceramic (Si)3N4) Silicon carbide ceramic (SiC), and quartz glass (SiO)2) Or sapphire.
Referring to fig. 3, in step 2 of the present invention, the surface of the metal member is subjected to an oxidation treatment or a surface treatment by pre-coating with an active metal solder.
It should be noted that the material of the metal member may be copper, aluminum, copper alloy, such as copper-manganese alloy, copper-nickel alloy, etc., but normally, pure copper material is selected.
The processing method in this step will be described by taking a copper wire as an example. The method adopts a copper wire surface oxidation treatment mode, namely oxidizing a copper wire under the conditions that the oxidation temperature is less than 1000 ℃, the oxidation time is more than or equal to 5min, and the oxygen concentration is less than or equal to 500PPM, generating cuprous oxide on the surface of the copper wire after oxidation, and carrying out chemical reaction on the cuprous oxide and ceramic under the DBC process condition to ensure that the copper wire is sintered on the wall of the ceramic hole; the method for coating active metal solder is characterized in that the active metal solder such as Ag-Cu-Ti is coated on the surface of a copper wire, organic matters in the slurry are discharged within 60 minutes at the temperature of less than or equal to 500 ℃, and then the temperature of less than or equal to 720 ℃, the time of less than or equal to 30min and the vacuum degree of less than or equal to 10-3Pre-alloying the copper wire under the Pa condition. It should be noted that, in the treatment of the copper wire, whether the surface oxidation method or the active metal solder coating method is adopted, a layer of substance capable of generating chemical or metallurgical reaction with the hole wall of the ceramic substrate exists on the surface of the copper wire, so that the metal part is sintered on the hole wall of the ceramic substrate, and the metal part and the hole wall on the ceramic substrate are firmly and hermetically combinedThe purpose is.
As shown in fig. 4, in step 3 of the present invention, the copper wire obtained by surface treatment is loaded into a mechanical device with CCD positioning, and the device positions the copper wire to penetrate into the through hole on the ceramic substrate in step 1, and penetrates and connects the single or multiple ceramic substrates, so as to realize the close fit assembly of the copper wire and the ceramic hole. The copper line penetrates ceramic hole, can penetrate monolithic pottery and also can penetrate multi-disc pottery, realizes that multi-disc pottery establishes ties and is convenient for batch production, uses the mechanical equipment that has the CCD location, realizes penetrating the process automation degree in the ceramic substrate through-hole with the metalwork high, and feeding and the whole journey of snatching are gone on by mechanical equipment, need not artificial intervention, have improved the production efficiency who penetrates the metalwork and go into ceramic substrate through-hole process.
Referring to fig. 5, in step 4 of the present invention, the one or more ceramic substrates penetrated by the copper wires in step 3 are placed in a sintering apparatus for sintering. The copper wire surface oxidation treatment mode can be used for sintering in a nitrogen protection continuous sintering furnace at the actual temperature ranging from 1065 ℃ to 1083 ℃. The mode of coating the active metal solder is to sinter in a vacuum sintering furnace at the actual temperature of 700-1000 ℃. It is further noted that both sintering processes are prior art.
It is worth further explaining that the specific process of sintering the ceramic substrate with the copper wire inserted therein is as follows: placing the ceramic substrate in a vacuum sintering furnace for sintering, wherein the vacuum degree in the vacuum sintering furnace is 10-1Pa~10-4Pa, the temperature is 700-1000 ℃, and the heat preservation time is 1-90 min. It should be noted that the pretreated metal member of the assembly in this example is a metal member with a surface coated with an active metal solder, that is, the vacuum sintering furnace is suitable for sintering the metal member with a surface coated with an active metal solder.
Another example is that the specific process of sintering the ceramic substrate penetrated by the copper wire is as follows: and placing the ceramic substrate in an inert gas protection sintering furnace for sintering, wherein the oxygen content in the inert gas protection sintering furnace is 0-500 PPM, the temperature is 1065-1083 ℃, and the heat preservation time is 1-90 min. It is worth mentioning that the inert gas shielded sintering furnace is suitable for the sintering process of the copper wire subjected to the pre-oxidation process. Furthermore, the ceramic substrate penetrating into the copper wire is sintered, so that the through hole wall of the oxide ceramic substrate on the surface of the pretreated copper wire can generate chemical or metallurgical reaction, and the pretreated copper wire and the through hole wall of the sintered ceramic substrate are tightly combined together.
As shown in fig. 6, in step 5 of the present invention, the copper wire is cut to separate the single ceramic substrate or the plurality of ceramic substrates penetrating the copper wire in step 3, and the cutting method adopts a mechanical method and a chemical method: the mechanical mode can be that a blade is manually used for cutting the copper wire along the surface of the ceramic; the chemical method can be that a chemical liquid such as FeCl is utilized3+Cu—CuCl2+FeCl2Thereby etching away the copper exposed outside the hole.
FIG. 7 illustrates step 6 of planarizing the top and bottom surfaces of the ceramic substrate. In step 5, the copper wires are cut to obtain mutually separated ceramic substrates, a section of copper wire is remained on the surface of each ceramic substrate, and the step of flattening the ceramic substrates is to remove the remaining copper wires protruding out of the basic surface of the ceramic and outside the through holes. And a flattening process is finished by adopting a flattening machine, so that the surface of the ceramic substrate and the section of the metal wire are kept on the same horizontal plane. The method provides sufficient conditions for the metallization process of the upper surface and the lower surface of the ceramic substrate in the subsequent steps.
Referring to fig. 8, in step 7 of the present invention, the upper and lower surfaces of the ceramic substrate are metallized by a ceramic metallization process (e.g., DBC process, AMB process). It should be noted that the ceramic metallization process is prior art. Ceramic substrate surface metallization processes include, but are not limited to, direct copper clad ceramic substrate process (DBC), active metal brazing process (AMB), thick film printed electronic paste, sputtering, evaporation, chemical vapor deposition process (CVD), physical vapor deposition Process (PVD), direct electroplating electroless plating process, and the like.
Referring to fig. 9, in step 8 of the present invention, the desired circuit pattern is processed on the ceramic substrate and then cut into small units to complete the interconnection of the upper and lower copper layers of the ceramic substrate. Processing a required circuit pattern on the ceramic substrate through the processes of film pasting, exposure, development and etching; and then a unit product is produced by a laser cutting means, and interconnection of the upper metal layer and the lower metal layer is realized. The film pasting in the step refers to pressing the dry film on a copper sheet of a ceramic copper clad laminate (DBC) or AMB ceramic substrate; the exposure in this step means that a pattern is displayed by irradiating a predetermined position and portion of the dry film with a predetermined light; the development in this step means that the portion not irradiated with light is dissolved away by a chemical solution, and the portion irradiated with light is left, so that the entire pattern is displayed. Then, the circuit pattern is etched out by means of chemical etching. And finally, cutting the substrate into small units in a laser cutting mode, so that interconnection of the upper copper layer and the lower copper layer of the metallized ceramic substrate can be realized.
According to the method for the up-and-down conductive interconnection of the ceramic substrates, through holes of the ceramic substrates can be metallized by penetrating the preprocessed copper wires into the through holes of the ceramic substrates at one time, so that batch rapid production can be realized, and the production efficiency is greatly improved. Furthermore, the method can realize porous metallization and through hole metallization of various types of ceramic substrates, and has strong practicability and wide application.
It should be further noted that, aiming at excessive or too small through holes on the ceramic substrate, the interconnection of the upper and lower conducting layers of the ceramic substrate is difficult to realize by adopting the process in the prior art, and the process of sintering after the copper wire is pretreated and penetrates through the through holes of the ceramic substrate is utilized, so that the aim of air tightness combination of the copper wire and the hole walls on the ceramic substrate, which can be firm, is realized, the reliability of the product is improved, and the adopted process is simple and practical, environment-friendly and economical, and has good application prospect.
