Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. It is not easy to obtain a uniform weld with AgCuTi active metal brazing paste. Usually, AgCuTi solder is coated on the surface of silicon nitride in the form of slurry, and vacuum brazed after sandwiching the copper sheet into a sandwich structure.
Due to the coating thickness of the solder, the flow of the solder after melting, the diffusion of silver in the solder to the copper, and the crystallization of the solder during solidification, the uniformity of the copper-ceramic interface brazed with AgCuTi slurry is poor, such as figure 1 shown
Solder with poor uniformity will affect the subsequent etching process and affect the dimensional accuracy and reliability of the product
[0005] 2. As a heavy metal, Ag in AgCuTi solder will bring the risk of environmental pollution in the subsequent etching process of copper-clad ceramic substrates
[0006] 3. The brazing layer containing silver will affect the accuracy of etching lines, and the silver-containing solder will cause dirty etching and affect the insulation performance of the circuit board
[0007] 4. The electromigration coefficient of silver is relatively large. In the harsh environment, the electromigration of silver in AgCuTi solder will affect the reliability of the product
