Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は光通信に使用される金属製通信パッケージに近い熱膨張係数を有し、機械的、化学的強度に優れ、実用上十分な安定性を持つ通信パッケージウィンドウ用ガラスに関するものである。ここで、通信パッケージとは、本体が金属からなる光通信用の半導体素子を収容するためのパッケージで、例えばKV(Fe−Ni−Co系合金)や42アロイ(Fe−Ni系合金)等の金属からなる粋体と、Cu−WやCu−Mo−Cu等の金属からなる底体とをろう付け接合して、内部に光通信用の半導体素子を搭載するためのキャビティ部を有するようなものをいう。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
光通信用光ファイバの光を透過する透光性材料は、高い絶縁特性、優れた光透過性、良好なメタライズ性、優れた機械的強度、耐磨耗性を有し、電子部品材料として用いられる以外に光学材料、機械部品材料等の幅広い応用分野を持っている。この代表的なものはサファイアである。パッケージウィンドウでは、ウィンドウガラスとパッケージとなる金属性固定材料をろう付けするため、ガラスのろう付け部分に金属薄膜を形成させることが必要であるが、この金属薄膜形成性をここではメタライズ性という。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、サファイアはα−アルミナ(α−Al23)の単結晶体であるため、屈折率や光透過性、機械的化学的強度等において優れた特性を有している反面、軸方向によって熱膨張に違いがある上、材料コストが高く、また抗折強度等の機械的強度が必要以上に高いので加工コストが高いため、低コストが要求される電子部品材料への適用には不向きである。
本発明は、上記のような従来技術の問題を解決するため、電子部品材料、光学材料及び機械部品材料に適した物理的特性、熱的特性及び光学的特性を有し、特に機械的強度、化学的強度に優れ、ガラス作製時の結晶化のし難さ、優れた対環境性と言った、実用上十分な安定性を持つ通信パッケージウィンドウ用ガラスを、安価にかつ経済的に提供することを目的とする。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記のような従来技術の課題は、下記のような物性をもつ安価な通信パッケージウィンドウ用ガラスが提供されることによって解決される。その必要な物性は、ガラス転移温度(Tg)が650℃以上であり、屈折率(nd)がサファイアの屈折率(nd)の±10%以内で、さらに、ウィンドウ用ガラスに形成したメタライズ層を介して接合する金属製固定部材との熱膨張係数(α30 400 )の差が±10%以内で、ヤング率(E)が70GPa以上で、ビッカース硬度(Hv)が550kgf/mm2以上である。ここで、ウィンドウ用ガラスには金属薄膜スパッタ処理等がなされるため、ガラス転移温度はできるだけ高い方がよく650℃以上が好ましい。また、サファイアの屈折率は1.76であるが、ウィンドウガラスとサファイアの屈折率差がサファイアの屈折率の±10%を超えると、光の進行方向が大きくずれその修正が容易でなくなる。したがって、ウィンドウガラスの屈折率は1.584〜1.936の範囲内が好ましい。さらに、ウィンドウ用ガラスに形成したメタライズ層を介して封着接合する金属製固定部材である、KOVARの熱膨張係数は約50×10-7/℃であるが、封着後の応力を緩和させるためには、ウィンドウ用ガラスの熱膨張係数はKOVARの±10%であることが好ましい。したがってその範囲は、45〜55×10-7/℃である。そして、地球環境を想定した極端に過酷な信頼性試験においてガラスに亀裂等が発生する危険性を考慮すれば、ヤング率やビッカース硬度はなるべく大きいほうがよく、少なくともヤング率が70GPa以上、ビッカース硬度は550kgf/mm2以上が好ましい。
本発明は、I.ガラス転移温度(Tg)が650℃以上であり、II.屈折率(nd)が1.585以上で、III.熱膨張係数(α30 400 )が45〜55×10-7/℃であり、IV.ヤング率(E)が70GPa以上で、V.さらにビッカース硬度(Hv)が550kgf/mm2以上であるような通信パッケージウィンドウ用ガラスを提供するものである。本発明者らはこれら5つの特性I〜Vを同時に満足するガラスを未だ知らない。
【0005】
本発明者らは鋭意研究の結果、本発明が目的とする光通信に使用される通信パッケージウィンドウ用ガラスを得るためにはSiO2−B23−Al23系ガラスをベースに、Ta25を必須とし、アルカリ土類酸化物や希土類酸化物を多量に含有させたガラス組成系が最も適切であることを見出し、本発明に到達した。

【0008】
ここでSiO2は10%よりも少ないとガラス化が困難で、60%を超えると溶融温度が高くなり作業が困難になる。好ましくは15〜55%の範囲である。B23は5%よりも少ないとガラス化が困難になり、30%を超えるとガラスとしての安定性が低下する。好ましい範囲は7〜25%である。Al23は5%よりも少ないとガラスの安定性が低下し、30%を超えると溶融温度が高くなる。好ましくは8〜25%の範囲である。Ta25は0.5%よりも少ないと十分なヤング率が得られず、7%を超えるとガラス化が困難になる。好ましい範囲は0.5〜5%である。

【0011】
本発明は、金属製通信パッケージに使用される金属製固定部材(KOVAR)に近い熱膨張係数を有し、機械的強度や化学的強度に優れたガラスに関するもので、フッ素化合物などの低溶融化合物の添加は特性に大きな影響を与えない範囲で使用可能である。
【0012】

なお、本発明のパッケージウィンドウ用ガラスには上記成分の他に、溶融性の改善及びガラスの安定性拡大のため、本発明の目的をはずれない限り通常のガラスで使用されて本明細書に記載されていない他の成分も、数mol%の範囲内で含有させることができる。

Here, the communication package is a package for housing a semiconductor element for optical communication whose main body is made of metal, such as KV (Fe—Ni—Co alloy) or 42 alloy (Fe—Ni alloy). A metal body and a bottom body made of a metal such as Cu-W or Cu-Mo-Cu are brazed and joined to have a cavity for mounting a semiconductor element for optical communication inside. Say things.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Translucent material that transmits light of optical fiber for optical communication has high insulation characteristics, excellent light transmission, good metallization, excellent mechanical strength, and wear resistance, and is used as an electronic component material It has a wide range of application fields such as optical materials and machine part materials. A typical example is sapphire. In the package window, it is necessary to form a metal thin film on the brazed portion of the glass in order to braze the window glass and the metallic fixing material to be the package. This form of metal thin film is called metallization.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, since sapphire is a single crystal of α-alumina (α-Al 2 O 3 ), it has excellent properties in terms of refractive index, light transmission, mechanical chemical strength, etc., but depending on the axial direction. In addition to the difference in thermal expansion, the material cost is high, and the mechanical strength such as bending strength is higher than necessary, so the processing cost is high, so it is not suitable for application to electronic component materials that require low cost. is there.
In order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, the present invention has physical characteristics, thermal characteristics and optical characteristics suitable for electronic component materials, optical materials and mechanical component materials, in particular, mechanical strength, To provide inexpensive and economical glass for communication package windows with excellent chemical strength, difficulty in crystallization during glass production, and excellent environmental friendliness. With the goal.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The problems of the prior art as described above are solved by providing an inexpensive communication package window glass having the following physical properties. The necessary physical properties are that the glass transition temperature (Tg) is 650 ° C. or higher, the refractive index (nd) is within ± 10% of the refractive index (nd) of sapphire, and further, a metallized layer formed on the window glass is used. The difference in thermal expansion coefficient (α 30 ° C. to 400 ° C. ) with the metal fixing member to be joined via the contact is within ± 10%, the Young's modulus (E) is 70 GPa or more, and the Vickers hardness (Hv) is 550 kgf / mm 2. That's it. Here, since the glass for window is subjected to a metal thin film sputtering process or the like, the glass transition temperature should be as high as possible, preferably 650 ° C. or higher. Moreover, although the refractive index of sapphire is 1.76, if the difference in refractive index between the window glass and sapphire exceeds ± 10% of the refractive index of sapphire, the traveling direction of light is greatly shifted and it is difficult to correct it. Therefore, the refractive index of the window glass is preferably in the range of 1.584 to 1.936. Furthermore, although the coefficient of thermal expansion of KOVAR, which is a metal fixing member that is sealed and bonded through a metallized layer formed on the window glass, is about 50 × 10 −7 / ° C., it relieves stress after sealing. Therefore, the thermal expansion coefficient of the window glass is preferably ± 10% of KOVAR. Accordingly, the range is 45 to 55 × 10 −7 / ° C. In consideration of the danger of cracks in the glass in extremely severe reliability tests assuming the global environment, the Young's modulus and Vickers hardness should be as large as possible. At least the Young's modulus is 70 GPa and the Vickers hardness is 550 kgf / mm 2 or more is preferable.
In the present invention, I. Glass transition temperature (Tg) is 650 ° C. or higher, II. Refractive index (nd) is 1.585 or higher, and III. Thermal expansion coefficient (α 30 ° C. to 400 ° C. ) is 45 to 55. Provided is a glass for a communication package window that is × 10 −7 / ° C., IV. Young's modulus (E) is 70 GPa or more, and V. Vickers hardness (Hv) is 550 kgf / mm 2 or more. . The present inventors have not yet known a glass that simultaneously satisfies these five characteristics I to V.
[0005]
As a result of diligent research, the present inventors obtained SiO 2 —B 2 O 3 —Al 2 O 3 based glass to obtain a glass for a communication package window used for optical communication intended by the present invention, The inventors have found that a glass composition system containing Ta 2 O 5 as an essential component and containing a large amount of alkaline earth oxide or rare earth oxide is most suitable, and the present invention has been achieved.

Alternatively, when the total amount of two or more types exceeds 30%, the melting temperature becomes high, and as a result, vitrification becomes difficult. Preferably it is 25% or less. ZrO 2 contributes to the environmental resistance of the glass.

[0013]
The glass for communication package windows of the present invention is prepared by weighing and mixing oxides, hydroxides, carbonates, nitrates, and the like corresponding to the raw materials of each component at a predetermined ratio as glass raw materials. This glass preparation raw material is put into a platinum crucible and melted in a glass melting furnace heated to 1300 to 1500 ° C. The glass melt melted at a high temperature is clarified and homogenized by stirring with a platinum stirring rod, and then poured into a mold preheated to an appropriate temperature to be molded. Thereafter, the glass block is obtained by performing slow cooling with an appropriate temperature schedule. Incidentally, it is preferable to add a small amount of an additive having a reducing effect for preventing decoloration of the glass, for example, an additive such as Sb 2 O 3 , which does not affect the effect of the present invention.
In addition to the above components, the package window glass of the present invention is used in ordinary glass as long as it does not deviate from the purpose of the present invention in order to improve the meltability and expand the stability of the glass, and is described in this specification.

That is, SiO 2 , H 3 BO 3 , Al (OH) 3 , Ta 2 O 5 , Y 2 O 3 , Na 2 CO 3 are weighed at a predetermined ratio as each raw material compound, and after mixing, a platinum crucible is used. Used and melted in a glass melting furnace at 1450 ° C. for about 2 hours. The melt was homogenized by stirring timely during melting. Thereafter, it was poured into a mold and molded, and further slowly cooled in an electric furnace set at a temperature about 10 ° C. lower than the glass transition temperature to obtain glass. Here, 0.3% by weight of Sb 2 O 3 was added as a defoaming agent. In order to confirm the mechanical strength, thermal properties, and optical properties of the obtained glass, glass transition temperature (Tg), thermal expansion coefficient (α 30 ° C. to 400 ° C. ), Young's modulus (E), Vickers hardness (Hv) The refractive index (nd) was measured. The results are also shown in Table 1. Each unit is: Tg (glass transition temperature): ° C, α (thermal expansion coefficient): × 10 -7 / ° C, E (Young's modulus): GPa, Hv (Vickers hardness): kgf / mm 2 It is.

(Examples 2 to 27)
Glasses of Examples 2 to 27 shown in Tables 1 to 4 were produced in the same manner as in Example 1. The obtained glass was measured for glass transition temperature (Tg), thermal expansion coefficient (α 30 ° C. to 400 ° C. ), Young's modulus (E), Vickers hardness (Hv) and refractive index (nd). The results are also shown in Tables 1 to 4.

【The invention's effect】
Thus, according to the present invention, Ta 2 O 5 is essential based on SiO 2 —B 2 O 3 —Al 2 O 3 glass, and high-concentration alkaline earth oxide or rare earth oxide is contained. Thus, a glass having a thermal expansion coefficient suitable for adhesion to Kovar, a high Young's modulus and hardness can be produced. This glass has practically sufficient stability and environmental resistance, and can be preferably used for a communication package window.
