Definitions
- the present invention relates to a substrate for mounting element and a process for its production, particularly to a substrate for mounting element excellent in sulfurization resistance, wherein planarity of a surface of a thick conductor layer formed on the substrate surface is good, and a process for producing such a substrate.
- a light-emitting device employing a LED element has been used for backlights of mobile phones or liquid crystal TVs or liquid crystal displays, generic illumination, etc. Accordingly, peripheral components of a LED element are also required to have higher performance.
- a substrate to mount a LED element one made of a resin material is used.
- a resin substrate is likely to be deteriorated by a heat or light accompanying higher brightness of a LED element. Accordingly, a study has been made to use a substrate made of e.g. an inorganic insulating material.
- Such an inorganic insulating material may, for example, be a ceramics such as alumina or aluminum nitride, or a low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) which is a composite of glass with a ceramics powder such as alumina.
- LTCC is one fired usually at a temperature of from about 800 to 1,000° C. which is lower than the firing temperature for usual ceramics and is prepared by laminating a prescribed number of green sheets made of glass and a ceramics powder (such as an alumina powder or a zirconia powder), integrating them by hot pressing, followed by firing.
- An inorganic insulating substrate made of such inorganic insulating materials has a higher durability against a heat or light as compared with a resin substrate and thus is prospective as a substrate for mounting a LED element.
- a thick conductor layer which is prepared by printing a paste composed mainly of a conductor metal such as silver (Ag) or copper (Cu), followed by firing. And, among such thick conductor layers, particularly terminal portions (electrodes) to be connected to the element are subjected to lamination plating (Ni/Au plating) of nickel (Ni) plating and gold (Au) plating to maintain the wire bonding property, the adhesion strength and the weather resistance.
- lamination plating Ni/Au plating
- Ni/Au plating nickel (Ni) plating and gold (Au) plating to maintain the wire bonding property, the adhesion strength and the weather resistance.
- sulfurization resistance is imparted to prevent a color change by a reaction of the thick conductor layer with a sulfur (S) content in the air, etc.
- a substrate to mount a LED element or the like is required to have sulfurization resistance, and with conventional plated thicknesses (Ni-plated thickness of from 3 to 5 ⁇ m/Au-plated thickness of from 0.1 to 0.3 ⁇ m) required for the wiring bonding portions, there has been a problem that a color change to black is observed at the Ni/Au-plated portion in a sulfurization test in accordance with JIS-C-60068-2-43, thus failing to pass the sulfurization test.
- a method of applying a protective coat by e.g. a silicone resin on the Ni-plated layer, a method of forming a thick Au layer by paste printing instead of plating, or a method of increasing the thickness of the Au-plated layer has been known.
- a method has been known wherein the particle size of the Ag powder to be used as a conductor to constitute the thick conductor layer is made small to improve the sintering property thereby to reduce grain boundaries.
- the method of forming a thick Au layer or increasing the thickness of the Au-plated layer has had a problem that the production cost increases substantially. Further, in the case of the LTCC substrate, there has been a problem such that if the sintering property is improved by reducing the particle size of the Ag powder, timing in shrinkage by firing will not meet with the substrate whereby the substrate is likely to undergo warpage.

- a conductor metal paste is printed by a method such as screen printing to form a non-fired conductor pattern. Further, a conductor metal paste is filled in the above-mentioned via holes for interlayer connection, to form a non-fired interlayer connection portion.
- the conductor metal paste may, for example, be one prepared by adding a vehicle such as ethylcellulose and, as the case requires, a solvent, etc. to a metal powder composed mainly of e.g. silver (Ag) or copper (Cu) to form a paste.
- a silver (Ag) powder, a mixed powder of silver and palladium, or a mixed powder of silver and platinum is, for example, preferably used.
- the adhesive strength between the conductor metal and the substrate can be sufficiently secured by the glass component contained in the glass ceramics green sheet, and it is preferred to use a metal paste having no glass frit incorporated, in order not to increase the electrical resistance (resistance value) of the conductor metal.
- a plurality of green sheets having non-fired conductor patterns formed are overlaid one on another while adjusting their positions and integrated by heating and pressing, followed by heating at a temperature of from 500° C. to 600° C. to carry out binder burn out by decomposing and removing a binder such as a resin contained in the glass ceramics green sheet. Thereafter, heating is carried out further at a temperature of from about 800 to 1,000° C. to fire the glass ceramics composition constituting the glass ceramics green sheet.

- the thick conductor layer formed on the surface of the LTCC substrate is subjected to wet blast treatment. That is, a blast liquid prepared by mixing an abrasive (blast material) with a liquid medium (such as water) is blasted (blown) to the thick conductor layer under high pressure.

- the mixing ratio of the abrasive (blast material) and the liquid medium (such as water) is such that the abrasive will be from 20 to 60 vol % based on the entire amount of the blast liquid. If the mixing ratio of the abrasive is less than 20 vol %, the wet blasting efficiency is likely to be remarkably low and it becomes difficult to sufficiently planarize the surface of the thick conductor layer. On the other hand, if the ratio of the abrasive exceeds 60 vol %, the viscosity of the blast liquid tends to be too high, whereby the blasting efficiency rather tends to deteriorate.

Accordingly, it becomes difficult to impart good sulfurization resistance.

If the transporting rate is less than 1 m/min, an alumina powder being the blast material is likely to deposit on the thick conductor layer, whereby the effect to planarize the surface tends to be small. If the transporting rate exceeds 1.5 m/min, the blasting effect tends to be small, and it becomes difficult to carry out sufficient planarization for preventing sulfurization.

Further, by applying a pressure of 1.5 kg/cm2 to the blast liquid mixed in such a ratio by means of a nozzle having an orifice diameter of 8 mm and made of boron carbide, the blast liquid is jetted from a jet orifice disposed at 5 cm above the transporting surface, towards the thick conductor layer which is continuously transported by a belt conveyor. The surface roughness Ra of the thick conductor layer is thereby made to be 0.01 ⁇ m. Further, the transporting rate of the belt conveyor is adjusted to 1.2 m/min.
- a Ni-plated film of 7 ⁇ m is formed by electrolytic plating in a nickel sulfamic acid bath, and on its surface, a Au-plated film having a thickness of 0.3 ⁇ m is formed by electrolytic plating in a gold potassium cyanide bath.
- the substrate 10 for mounting element thus obtained is subjected to exposure for 100 hours in a sulfurization test in accordance with JIS C-60068-2-43, whereby a black-colored defect due to precipitation of nickel sulfide will not form on the surface of the Au-plated film.
- 1 inorganic insulating substrate
- 2 thick conductor layer
- 3 Ni/Au-plated layer
- 4 via conductor
- 10 substrate for mounting element
