AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the sealing and airtightness of quartz crystal oscillators is not good, mainly due to the flatness of the base and the interlayer gap, which causes water vapor or impurities to enter the cavity and affect the product performance.
By controlling the resistance and power relationship during the rolling electrode sealing process, it is ensured that the top cover and the base with the KV ring reach a sufficient heating power threshold during rolling electrode sealing. Specifically, this is achieved by adjusting the relationship between the resistance of the top cover, the base, and the contact resistance to meet specific heating power conditions.
This improved the sealing quality of quartz crystal oscillators, reduced air leakage, and enhanced the airtightness and reliability of the products.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic components, and more particularly to a sealing method for a quartz crystal oscillator base. BACKGROUND
[0002] As described in https: / / m.ruidan.com / infomation / detail / 212609, the sealing method of SEAM: the nickel-plated Kovar upper cover and the base are pressed together by a pair of roller electrodes, and a pulse direct current with low voltage and high current is applied to the electrode to generate a molten core that overlaps to form a sealing weld.
[0003] The quality of the sealing weld directly affects the air tightness of the quartz crystal oscillator. Poor air tightness can significantly affect the performance of the quartz crystal oscillator, mainly in terms of frequency stability and reliability. Specifically, poor air tightness can cause: internal air pressure changes in the quartz crystal, wafer contamination, electrode oxidation, which affects the vibration characteristics and causes the output frequency to drop, the frequency stability to decrease, and even the oscillator to stop.
[0004] For bases with KV rings, existing production experience shows that the main factors affecting the sealing air tightness are: (1) the flatness of the KV ring surface and the bottom of the base is not good; (2) there are gaps between the KV ring and the ceramic cavity, and between the layers of the ceramic cavity. Defects in flatness and layer gap can significantly affect the air tightness of the quartz crystal oscillator product, and thus cause water vapor or impurities in the air to enter the cavity, thereby adversely affecting the performance of the product.
[0005] However, in actual production, the research and development team found that products with qualified base flatness and base layer gap still had air leakage problems. In view of this situation, the research and development team realized that there are other key factors affecting the sealing of the quartz crystal oscillator. SUMMARY

[0034] Furthermore, any two diagonal points of the KV ring are selected as probe test points.
[0035] Furthermore, P max It is 250w.
[0036] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0037] First, the R&D team discovered that the surface resistance of the KV ring in the base with the KV ring is also one of the key factors affecting the sealing quality of the quartz crystal oscillator.
[0038] Specifically, the resistance of the top cover (the top cover of the SEAM structure is made of metal) is R1, the surface resistance of the KV ring of the base with the KV ring is R2, the resistances of the top cover in contact with the two sides of the base are R5 and R6, the contact resistances of the rolling electrodes on both sides with the top cover are R3 and R4 respectively, and the maximum output power of the rolling electrodes is P. max ;

[0041] Among them, [P 热阈值 [] indicates the threshold of heat generation power during the rolling electrode sealing process, which is caused by the resistance of the contact between the top cover and the base on both sides.
[0042] Second, in actual production, when sealing and soldering quartz crystal oscillators, the sealing and soldering equipment (i.e., P) max The resistances are known, typically 250W; excessive resistance can cause uneven soldering, poor appearance, and solder sputtering onto the chip, resulting in product defects. The top cover dimensions and material are fixed (i.e., R1, R3, and R4 are known). Ignoring individual product differences, with fixed top cover and base dimensions, fixed electrodes, and a fixed applied pressure, the resistances R5 and R6 at the contact points between the top cover and base are also close to constant values (empirical values can be obtained, e.g., for a 2016 base, R5 + R6 is approximately 45mΩ). Therefore, in actual production, only the KV ring surface resistance R2 of the base with the KV ring needs to be tested. That is, before production, the KV ring surface resistance R2 of the bases with KV rings in the same batch is tested and meets the requirements (e.g., ...). Figure 3 (These are the conformity values for each model provided by the R&D team), and then the sealing is performed. Attached Figure Description

[0057] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The present disclosure can be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It is to be understood that these embodiments are presented in order to make the present disclosure more thorough and complete, and fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, the shape and size of elements can be exaggerated for the purpose of clarity, and the same reference signs will be used throughout to designate the same or similar elements.
[0058] <One, theoretical analysis>
[0059] The R&D team found in the practice that the torus resistance of the KV ring also seriously affects the sealing effect.
[0060] Take the base of 2016 as an example, it is found that under the condition of using the same cover, the base provided by different suppliers (such as A, B) is good in air tightness after sealing, while the base provided by B supplier has problems.
[0061] The current related to analysis and sealing is shown in the model of sealing as follows: Figure 1 R1: cover resistance; R2: base KV ring surface resistance; R3, R4: contact resistance of two side rolling electrodes and cover (including line resistance); R5, R6: resistance of cover and two side contact of base; VCC: power supply; I1: current flowing through the cover; I2: current flowing through the base; I 总 : sum of current from rolling electrode through cover and base.
[0062] From Figure 1 it can be known that: I 总 =U / [R3+R4+R1(R5+R2+R6) / (R1+ R5+R2+R6)]。When R2 increases, I 总 will decrease, and I2 will also decrease. The contact surface of the cover and the base KV generates heat (Q=I2 2 (R5+R6)t), which will also decrease. At this time, the amount of metal melting is small, and this situation is prone to air leakage.
[0063] It should be noted that Q and t are related. However, in order to maintain the stability of the process, the parameter time t is set to be uniform. It is generally around 1 millisecond.
[0064] From Figure 1 it can be known that:
[0065] The current I1 passing through R1=I 总 ·(R5+R2+R6) / (R1+R5+R2+R6)];
[0066] The current I2 passing through R2, R5 and R6=I 总 ·R1 / (R1+R5+R2+R6)];
[0067] The output power of the rolling electrode is set to P, and the relationship between the heating power P5, P6 of R5, R6 and P is derived as follows:
[0068] P5= I2 2 ·R5;
[0069] P6= I2 2 ·R6;
[0070] P= I 总 2 (R3+R4)+ I1 2 ·R1+ I2 2 (R5+R2+R6);
[0071] P5= P· R5· [R1 / (R1+R5+R2+R6)] 2 / [R3+R4+R1·(R5+R2+R6) / (R1+R5+R2+R6)];
[0072] P6= P· R6· [R1 / (R1+R5+R2+R6)] 2 / [R3+R4+R1·(R5+R2+R6) / (R1+R5+R2+R6)].
[0073] To simplify the analysis, disregard R3 and R4, i.e., set R3 and R4 to both be 0:
[0074] P5= P·R5·R1·(R1+R5+R2+R6) -1 (R5+R2+R6) -1 ;
[0075] P6= P·R6·R1·(R1+R5+R2+R6) -1 (R5+R2+R6) -1 .
[0076] Therefore, the total heat power P5+P6 generated at the contact surface between the top cover and the base KV is:
[0077] P5 + P6 = P·[1 + R2 / (R5 + R6)] -1 ·[1+(R5+R2+R6) / R1] -1 .
[0078] It can be more clearly seen from the above formula that increasing R2 will lead to a decrease in P5+P6.

[0097] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 2 The KV ring surface micro-resistance measurement method of the base with KV ring adopts four-terminal measurement method. The KV ring surface resistance is accurately measured by constant current and voltage detection, and the lead and contact errors are eliminated. Select any two diagonal points E and F of the base KV ring as the probe test points.
