Description

(54) SOLDER-GLASS MATERIAL FILLED WITH A GRANULAR FILLER (71) We, INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORPORATION, a Corporation organised and existing under the Laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, of 320 Park Avenue, New York 22, State of New York, United States of America do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: The present invention relates to a solder glass material filled with a granular filler.
By admixing a filler to a solder glass e.g. for semiconductor use, the coefficient of expansion of the solder glass can be changed. The fillers given in German Published Patent Application 2,533,687, e.g. SiO2, have a low coefficient of expansion (SiO2:5.10-'/ "K) and are therefore suited to reducing the coefficient of expansion of the solder glass.
When a solder glass material is used, e.g., when a semiconductor device is encapsulated directly in a solder glass, it is important that the coefficients of expansion of the solder glass and the semiconductor substrate be approximately equal, with a difference between the coefficients of expansion of + 5.10-7/"K being still permissible.
According to one aspect of the invention there is provided a low melting point solder glass, for encapsulating semiconductor devices, wherein a filler is incorporated into the body of the glass, wherein the filler is CaF2, and wherein the filler is in granular form with the filler grains each covered with a film of SiO2 which interacts with the solder glass material at temperatures below 400"C.
According to another aspect of the invention there is provided a low melting point solder glass, for encapsulating semiconductor devices, wherein the solder glass consists of a first mixture of PbO,ZnO and B203 in a respective molar ratio of 2 : 1: 1, a second mixture of PbF2, T120, SiO2 in a respective molar ratio of 2: 1:1, said first and second mixtures being present in the glass in a molar ratio in the range 8:1 to 10: 1, wherein a filler is incorporated into the body of the glass, wherein the filler is CaF2, and wherein the filler is in granular form with the filler grains each covered with an SiO2 film which interacts with the solder glass material at temperatures below 400"C.
Through the filler, the coefficient of expansion of the solder glass material used to encapsulate semiconductor devices can be adapted to that of the supporting material for the semiconductor device.
The invention will now be described by way of example with respect to the encapsulation in a solder glass of a gold-wire-bonded transistor alloyed on to a copper strip. The solder glass consists of the following constituents (molar ratios are given): PbO: ZnO: B203 =2:1:1; PbF2: T120: SiO2 2:1:1; (PbO + ZnO + B203): (PbF2 + T120 + SiO2) between 8 : 1 and 10 1).
Since the coefficient of expansion of copper is 160.10-7/"K, and that of the solder glass 100-120.10-7/"K, the coefficient of expansion of the filler must be greater than 160.l0-'/ OK, for only in that case can a resultant coefficient of expansion of 160.10-7/ "K be achieved.
It is a prerequisite for the use of a filler in a solder glass that the glass melt interacts with the filler at temperatures below 400 C. How this interaction takes place is still not quite clear. It is assumed, however, that the glass melt chemically attacks the filler to a slight degree. It must be borne in mind that during the encapsulation, the temperature of the glass melt must not exceed the eutectic temperature of a gold-silicon alloy.
In this example good results were obtained with a granular filler whose grains are covered with an oxide film which was an approximately 1 ijm thick SiO2 film. The filler used in this case was CaF2, whose coefficient of expansion is 180.10-7/ "K. To manufacture this filler, the CaF2 grains are immersed in a solution of an organosilicon compound. Organosilicon compounds are known from, inter alia, "Rompps Chemie-Lexikon", 7th Edition, 1975, Franck'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung, Stuttgart. The solvent used may be'an organic one. After the solvent has evaporated at room temperature, the CaF2 grains, covered with the organosilicon compound, are heated, whereby the desired SiO2 film is formed thereon.
The pulverized solder glass is so mixed with the CaF2 grains covered with an SiO2 film'that the resulting mixture contains 10% by weight of filler.
During the melting of the solder glass mixed with the filler, the SiO2 film on the CaF2 grains reacts with the glass melt. The resultant coefficient of expansion is approximately equal to that of the copper. It is particularly advantageous that the filler does not affect the fluidity of the solder glass.
WHAT WE CLAIM IS: 1. A low melting point solder glass, for encapsulating semiconductor devices, wherein a filler is incorporated into the body of the glass, wherein the filler is CaF2, and wherein the filler is in granular form with the filler grains each covered with a film of SiO2 which interacts with the solder glass material at temperatures below 400"C.
2. A low melting point solder glass, for encapsulating semiconductor devices, wherein the solder glass consists of a first mixture of PbO, ZnO and B 203 in a respective molar ratio of 2:1 :1, a second mixture of PbF2, T1 20, SiO2 in a respective molar ratio of 2:1:1, said first and second mixtures being present in the glass in a molar ratio in the range 8:1 to 10:1, wherein a filler is incorporated into the body of the glass, wherein the filler is CaF2, and wherein the filler is in granular form with the filler grains each covered with an SiO2 film which interacts with the solder glass material at temperatures below 400"C.
