Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing a metal-ceramic substrate, a soldering system for such a method and a metal-ceramic substrate produced using such a method.
  • Metal-ceramic substrates are, for example, sufficiently known as printed circuit boards or circuit boards from the prior art, for example from DE 102013 104739 A1, DE 19927046 B4 and DE 102009033029 A1.
  • connection surfaces for electrical components and conductor tracks are arranged on one component side of the metal-ceramic substrate, wherein the electrical components and the conductor tracks can be interconnected to form electrical circuits.
  • Essential components of the metal-ceramic substrates are an insulation layer, which is preferably made of a ceramic, and at least one metal layer attached to the insulation layer. Because of their comparatively high insulation strengths, insulation layers made of ceramics have proven to be particularly advantageous in power electronics. By structuring the metal layer, conductor tracks and / or connection surfaces for the electrical components can then be implemented.
  • a prerequisite for providing such a metal-ceramic substrate is a permanent connection of the metal layer to the ceramic layer.
  • a so-called direct connection process ie DCB or DAB process
  • This active metal which is for example at least one element from the group Hf, Ti, Zr, Nb, Ce, creates a connection between the solder and the ceramic by chemical reaction, while the connection between the solder and the metal is a metallic brazed connection .
  • EP 3 041 042 A1 and WO 2017/126653 A1 disclose, for example, methods for producing a power module substrate using an active solder material.
  • a connection of a copper foil to a ceramic layer takes place via a multilayer soldering system.
  • This multilayer system consists of a layer made of a titanium foil and a layer made of a phosphorus-containing solder filler material.

  • a multilayer soldering system of at least one soldering layer, preferably free of schmelzablyrniedri lowing elements, and at least one active metal layer is provided according to the invention.
  • the separation of the at least one active metal layer and the at least one solder layer proves to be particularly advantageous because it enables comparatively thin solder layers to be realized, especially when the solder layer is a foil. Otherwise, for soldering materials containing active metals, comparatively large soldering layer thicknesses have to be used because of the brittle intermetallic phases that hinder the deformation of the soldering paste or soldering layer.
  • the minimum layer thickness is limited by the manufacturing properties of the active metal-containing soldering material. Accordingly, for active metal-containing solder layers, it is not the minimum thickness required for the joining process, the minimum solder layer thickness of the solder layer, but the minimum solder layer thickness of the solder layer that determines the minimum solder layer thickness for the technically feasible minimum layer thickness of the solder layer. As a result, this thicker, active metal-containing solder layer is more expensive than thin layers.
  • the soldering layer thickness of the at least one soldering layer can advantageously be reduced.
  • material for the soldering system or for the at least one soldering layer can be saved.
  • active metal-free solder layers can also be rolled down to thicknesses less than 10 ⁇ m, preferably less than 7 ⁇ m.

  • these elements that lower the melting point are phosphorus and zinc.
  • the use of phosphorus-free soldering materials allows, for example, the advantageous separation of the active metal layer and soldering layers, even for those soldering layers that are free of phosphorus, but contain a melting point lowering material, the integration of which in the soldering layer in turn leads to a lowering of the melting point that is not as significant as it is known for phosphorus.
