Description

Aluminum nitride ceramics composition and method for producing the same {ALUMINIUM NITRIDE CERAMICS AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to an aluminum nitride ceramics composition, and in particular, it is possible to improve both the sintering and thermal conductivity characteristics of an aluminum nitride (AlN) sintered body, and significantly lower the manufacturing cost of the AlN sintered body, and to achieve simultaneous firing with attached printed metal electrodes. It relates to possible aluminum nitride ceramics compositions.

In addition, the present invention relates to a method for producing the aluminum nitride ceramic composition.

In general, aluminum nitride (AlN) has a thermal conductivity (319W/m·K) that is 10 times higher than that of alumina theoretically and a coefficient of thermal expansion (4×10 ^-6 ) lower than that of alumina, and has excellent mechanical strength (430MPa) and electrical resistance. (9×10 ¹³ Ω·cm). Accordingly, aluminum nitride is very promising for semiconductor substrates of high thermal conductivity ceramics and ceramic parts such as heaters and electrostatic chucks.

Although aluminum nitride (AlN) has such excellent properties, above all, the problem that the actual thermal conductivity level is significantly deteriorated than the theoretical value due to its incombustibility and the influence of impurities during manufacture is a challenge to be overcome.

In general, aluminum nitride is manufactured in such a way that it is subjected to sintering at a high temperature in the range of 1700 to 1900° C. by tape-casting and then heating and degreasing the organic material contained therein to form a thick film for componentization. In particular, at this time, a large amount of impurities such as oxygen adhering to the surface of the AlN raw material powder are dissolved in the AlN crystal lattice during sintering, or a complex such as an Al-ON compound that interferes with the propagation of lattice vibration is generated, thereby thermal conduction of aluminum nitride sinter greatly deteriorate the

Therefore, recently, when the aluminum nitride sintered body is manufactured by atmospheric pressure sintering as above, in order to prevent the densification of the sintered body and oxygen impurities dissolved in the crystal grains or the formation of Al-ON compounds, etc., rare earths such as _{Y 2} O ₃ It is common to add a sintering aid. Such a sintering aid is _{known to increase the thermal conductivity by forming a liquid phase by reacting with the oxygen impurity and Al 2} O ₃ during AlN sintering to achieve densification of the sintered body and to collect the oxygen impurity at grain boundaries.

In addition, as a method of increasing the thermal conductivity of the aluminum nitride sintered body, a method of preventing oxidation problems by applying a non-aqueous solvent to the slurry for tape casting or extending the sintering holding time to suppress the generation of internal secondary phases has also been proposed.

In general, a green sheet of aluminum nitride (AlN) manufactured by a tape casting method must be co-fired with metal electrodes printed on the inner and outer surfaces for componentization. Therefore, the AlN green sheet is pre-sintered prior to sintering. It is necessary to dissipate the organic materials while suppressing oxidation of AlN and the metal electrodes by applying a degreasing process of heating and maintaining at a temperature of . However, an organic material such as a binder added to the composition for the formation of the green sheet is generally contained in an amount of 10 wt% or more, so that the organic material generates residual carbon during sintering and reduces sinterability.

In addition, in order to prevent the adverse effects of oxygen impurities, _{the method of using expensive rare earths such as Y 2} O ₃ as an additive or extending the sintering holding time as above makes it impossible to continuously lower the production cost of the aluminum nitride sintered body.

Accordingly, the composition of the present invention is composed of a composition in which Ca-Al-Si-O-based glass (hereinafter referred to as "CAS glass") is added to aluminum nitride (AlN) and is manufactured as a thick-film green sheet. Before sintering, the degreasing treatment is performed at a temperature in the range of 300 to 1000° C., preferably in the range of 400 to 1000° C. in the air, in a N ₂ atmosphere, in a vacuum, or in a wet N ₂ (wet N _{2 ) atmosphere.} In addition, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sintering temperature of the AlN green sheet is 1700 ~ 1900 ℃.

According to the present invention, the CAS glass contained in the composition of the present invention undergoes a thermal carbon reduction reaction as shown in Equation 1 between AlN and oxygen in the CAS glass and the generated residual carbon in the sintering process of AlN that has undergone the thick film process. induce By this reaction, carbon from organic substances such as binders added in the thick film process is vaporized as CO, thereby preventing carbon from remaining inside AlN. Accordingly, the crystallinity of the AlN sintered body is increased and thus the thermal conductivity property is improved.

Al ₂ O ₃ + 3C + N ₂ → 2AlN + 3CO (Formula 1)

Accordingly, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the CAS glass added to the AlN composition of the present invention may be composed of a composition of Equation 2 below, for example, the CAS glass is 1 to the total amount of the composition of the present invention as shown in Equation 3 below.

As such, while the residual carbon content inside AlN is suppressed to a trace amount, the residual oxygen content is also suppressed to a trace amount. This is directly related to the improvement of the sintering and thermal conductivity properties of the AlN composition of the present invention, and at the same time, oxidation of the metal electrodes printed on the AlN green sheet for componentization can be prevented, so that effective simultaneous firing of the AlN composition and the metal electrodes is possible. means This is observed and demonstrated in detail in the examples below.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail together with various embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Example

Preparation of CAS Glass Powder

First, the CAS glass composition to be used in the Examples _{is composed of 60wt% CaCO 3} , 36wt% Al ₂ O ₃ , and 4wt% SiO ₂ 562 g is placed and thoroughly mixed for 24 hours, then placed in a 1 liter capacity platinum crucible at 1480° C. It was melted in a furnace and then quenched to obtain glass cullet. To make this glass cullet into glass frit, it was coarsely pulverized to a size of several tens of μm in an agate mortar as the first pulverization, and after dry ball milling for 48 hours using zirconia balls as the second pulverization, zirconia balls and zirconia balls were used as the third pulverization. Wet ball milling was performed for 24 hours using ethanol as a solvent. The CAS glass powder thus prepared was dried at 100° C. for 24 hours to finally prepare a CAS glass powder having an average particle diameter of 1 to 2 μm.

Preparation and properties of CAS glass-added AlN composition

After that, the CAS glass powder prepared above was added to the commercial AlN powder in the range of 1 to 10 wt% to form a green sheet with a thickness of 200 μm, and these 6 green sheets were stacked up and down to a total thickness of 1.2 mm, and then at 400 to 1000 ° C. Each of the oxygen content and carbon content was measured by degreasing in different air, N ₂ , vacuum, and wet N _{2 atmospheres for 10 hours.}

First, FIG. 1 shows a green bar obtained by laminating six CAS glass-added AlN composition green sheets in an embodiment of the present invention in air, N ₂ , vacuum, and wet N ₂ atmosphere for 10 hours, respectively. It is a graph showing the weight loss in each atmospheric condition with respect to the debinding temperature after degreasing.

Referring to FIG. 1 , at a degreasing temperature of 400° C., the weight loss was at most about 11% in all atmospheric conditions except for the nitrogen atmosphere, and then it can be seen that the weight loss gradually decreased as AlN was oxidized as the temperature increased. At this time, in _{the case of the wet N 2} atmosphere, it showed a tendency similar to the atmospheric atmosphere rather than the vacuum atmosphere. On the other hand, in a nitrogen atmosphere, the weight loss continued to increase as the temperature increased. Here, it is confirmed that the degreasing does not proceed smoothly as the weight loss at 1000° C. is 9.3 wt%, which means that a higher temperature is required to remove the binder when the oxygen partial pressure is low. It is demonstrated from FIG. 1 that the residual oxygen and carbon contents vary according to the degreasing process conditions.

2A to 2B show the actual residual oxygen and carbon contents according to the degreasing process temperature and atmosphere of the degreasing green bar of FIG. 1 , FIG. 2A shows the residual oxygen content, and FIG. 2B shows the residual carbon content. content) respectively.

As shown in FIG. 2a, the residual oxygen content was detected to be within 1.5 wt% in the atmosphere except for the atmosphere of 800° C. or higher and the wet N _{2 atmosphere.} As shown in FIG. 2B, the carbon content was detected only in a very small amount of 0.052 to 0.079 wt% from a temperature range of 400° C. or higher in the case of an atmospheric atmosphere. In particular, since an increase in oxygen content is insignificant in a vacuum atmosphere and a wet N ₂ atmosphere, it can be seen that it can be advantageously applied to simultaneous firing with an electrode.

On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 2b, in the case of nitrogen atmosphere, the carbon content is the highest at 300 °C at 1.65 wt%, and as the temperature increases, the carbon content decreases and it can be seen that it is lowered to 0.59 wt% at 1000 °C, which is As in FIG. 1 , it means that the weight is reduced while the binder whose main component is carbon is removed.

Table 1 below summarizes the contents of oxygen and carbon remaining inside after sintering of Examples 1 to 8 of the present invention according to various degreasing conditions (temperature and atmosphere), bulk density, and thermal conductivity data. 3 is a graph showing changes in bulk density and thermal conductivity of AlN substrates according to residual carbon contents after degreasing and sintering processes of Examples 1 to 8 of the present invention. .

As shown in Table 1 and FIG. 3, while the residual carbon content of the sintered AlN substrate changed from a minimum of 0.064 wt% to a maximum of 0.70 wt%, the bulk density showed almost ^{no significant change to 3.21 g/cm 3} , while the thermal conductivity The figure showed an approximately two-fold increase from 82W/mK to 161W/mK. That is, in the range of 0.064 to 0.7 wt% of the residual carbon content of the AlN substrate, there is almost no change in density, so the correlation between density and thermal conductivity is not seen. On the other hand, when the residual carbon content of the sintered AlN substrate was increased to 0.83 wt% or more, the bulk density was 2.69 g/cm ³ , and the thermal conductivity was rapidly decreased to 60 W/mK. This is because AlN sintering did not proceed sufficiently due to internal residual carbon, and both bulk density and thermal conductivity properties were deteriorated.

4 is an X-ray diffraction analysis result showing the phase change according to the residual carbon content of the sintered AlN substrates of Examples 4, 6, and 8 among the Examples of the present invention shown in Tables 1 and 3; At this time, the residual carbon content "0.064wt%", "0.38wt%", "0.59wt%", and "1.1wt%" respectively described in FIG. 4 is the residual carbon content of the AlN substrate before sintering. indicates.

4, when the residual carbon content of the AlN substrate before sintering was 0.064wt% and 1.1wt%, both SiO ₂ peaks were detected at insignificant levels, which is a component of the CAS glass added to AlN, SiO ₂ was detected. is judged However, although not added, some detected ZrN peaks _{appear to be contaminated while some of the ZrO 2} balls used during the ball milling process of these Examples are crushed, but their relative strength is very weak, so the main crystalline phase under all conditions It can be clearly confirmed that is an AlN phase.

Since the difference in the relative diffraction intensities of the main crystalline phases in FIG. 4 is weak, the correlation between the residual carbon content and the AlN crystalline phase is not observed, and in particular, all of them exhibit a single crystalline phase of AlN. This is because the content of the added CAS glass is 1wt%, so it did not react significantly with AlN, so the X-ray detection limit was not reached, or the glass was evaporated during the sintering process, or it was determined that there is a possibility that it was dissolved in the AlN grain. do.

5a to 5c are scanning electron micrographs showing the microstructure of the fracture surface in each of the sintered AlN substrates of Examples 4, 6 and 8 among the embodiments of the present invention shown in Tables 1 and 3, and FIG. 5A (Example) 4) is a specimen degreased at 400° C. in a vacuum atmosphere for 10 hours and then sintered at 1850° C. for 3 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere, FIG. 5b (Example 6) is a nitrogen atmosphere at 1000° C., and FIG. 5c (Example 8) are specimens sintered under the same conditions as in FIG. 5A after each degreasing at 900° C. in a nitrogen atmosphere. In addition, FIG. 6 is an EDS analysis result showing the components of the secondary phase observed in the microstructure of the sample of Example 4 of the present invention shown in FIG. 5A.

As shown in Figs. 5a to 5b, in the case of Examples 4 and 6, in which the residual carbon content of the AlN substrate before sintering was 0.38 wt% and 0.59 wt%, a dense microstructure with almost no pores was observed. However, in the specimen of FIG. 5A (Example 4), a continuous secondary phase was observed along the grain boundary of AlN, whereas in the specimen of FIG. 5B (Example 6), no secondary phase was observed. In this regard, referring to FIG. 6 , the main phase is identified as AlN, and the secondary phase is Al-Ca-O-N containing oxygen as a main component. Therefore, it can be seen that in the composition of Example 6 in which the residual carbon content of the AlN substrate before sintering is 0.59 wt%, the secondary phase is removed by the above-described thermal carbon reduction reaction, thereby increasing the thermal conductivity properties.

Meanwhile, referring to FIGS. 3 and 1 , the thermal conductivity of the specimen of FIG. 5A (Example 4) was 126 W/mK, whereas that of the specimen of FIG. 5B (Example 6) was 161 W/mK. From these results, it can be inferred that the change in thermal conductivity of FIG. 3 is due to the shape of the secondary phase. That is, it is analyzed that such a continuous secondary phase is formed inside, and the thermal conductivity is lowered by causing phonon scattering.

On the other hand, when the residual carbon content of the AlN substrate before sintering is 1.1wt%, it is confirmed that the grains do not grow completely and pores remain as in the specimen (Example 8) of FIG. 5c, which is ejected when the residual carbon content is large. Because the amount of CO or CO ₂ gas used is large, pores cannot be removed and it is inferred that crystal growth is inhibited.

_{In addition, Table 2 below shows that in another embodiment of the present invention, 1 to 5 wt% of rare earth Y 2} O ₃ , CaCO ₃ and Sm ₂ O ₃ were added to the AlN composition to which 5 wt% of CAS glass was added, respectively, so that the bulk, not the thick film process, was added. As AlN sintered compacts molded with ^{and sintered at 1850 o} C, their sinterability and thermal conductivity properties were observed and summarized.

Referring to Table 2, even when rare earths are further added to the AlN composition added with CAS glass, compared to AlN compositions with CAS glass (Examples 1 to 8) in which the rare earth is intentionally excluded and replaced only with the addition of CAS glass As a result (see Table 1), the bulk density and thermal conductivity are generally rather poor. Therefore, in the present invention, good sintering and thermal conductivity characteristics can be obtained even if only CAS glass is added without adding rare earth to AlN, and simultaneous firing with attached metal electrodes is possible. It is preferred that the addition is intentionally excluded.

As described above, in the present invention, each content of residual carbon and residual oxygen inside a sintered aluminum nitride (AlN) substrate manufactured by a thick film process such as tape casting without using expensive rare earths such as _{Y 2} O _{3 as a sintering aid.} By being able to minimize and suppress the AlN sintered body, both the sintering and thermal conductivity properties of the AlN sintered body can be improved from a technical point of view, while the manufacturing cost of the AlN sintered body can be greatly reduced from an economical point of view.

In addition, the composition of the present invention is advantageous because the residual oxygen content is minimized as described above, oxidation of the metal electrodes printed on the green sheet for componentization can be prevented, and effective simultaneous firing with the metal electrodes is possible.

In the above-described embodiments and examples of the present invention, the powder characteristics such as the average particle size, distribution, and specific surface area of the composition powder, and the purity of the raw material, the amount of impurities added, and the sintering conditions slightly vary within the usual error range. It is very natural for those of ordinary skill in the field that this may exist.
