Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of low-temperature co-fired ceramics technology, and in particular to a rare earth-microcrystalline glass-biocellulose synergistic low-temperature sintering LTCC raw material tape and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] LTCC, or Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramic, is a technology that enables the co-sintering of ceramic and metal electrodes. This technology allows for the fabrication of ceramic substrates with precise thickness and high density, enabling the embedding of passive components within the substrate and the surface mounting of active components on the top and bottom surfaces, achieving three-dimensional integration. Currently, LTCC technology plays a crucial role in 5G millimeter-wave communication applications, including filters, antennas, and ceramic substrates. LTCC can utilize silver, gold, copper, and other relatively low-melting-point conductors as electrode materials, offering advantages such as low high-frequency transmission loss, high thermal shock resistance, and high assembly density.
[0003] In existing technologies, BaO-B2O3-ZnO-SiO2 or ZnO-B2O3-SiO2 glass is generally used as a sintering aid for LTCC raw tape. For example, Chinese patent application CN113045305A discloses an LTCC raw tape material, substrate, and preparation method, with a sintering temperature of 890-920℃. Currently, the sintering temperature is generally not less than 850℃. To reduce the energy consumption generated by sintering, rare earth oxides such as La3O3 and CeO2 are generally introduced as sintering aids. However, rare earth ions tend to segregate in the glass phase, leading to increased dielectric loss. At the same time, traditional polyacrylate dispersants leave carbon residue after high-temperature decomposition, causing blistering at the silver paste co-firing interface, which in turn affects the production cost and quality of LTCC raw tape and needs improvement. Summary of the Invention

By using carboxylation or sulfonation to modify delignified nanocellulose, strong electrostatic repulsion is uniformly dispersed in the inorganic solid phase. The resulting three-dimensional network structure has the effect of inhibiting the formation of micropores during the sintering process and controlling the temperature coefficient of dielectric constant within ±15ppm / ℃, effectively ensuring that the dielectric performance stability is significantly improved over a wide temperature range, i.e., from -55℃ to 125℃. 3. By activating Sc2O3 nanocrystals with dilute nitric acid and coating them with copolymers, an organic coating layer is formed on the surface of the Sc2O3 nanocrystals. This allows the phosphate groups in the organic coating layer to interact with the Sc2O3 nanocrystals. 3+ Coordination bonds are formed, and hydrogen bonds are formed between organic segments and binders and dispersants, thereby effectively solving the interfacial compatibility problem between inorganic particles and organic systems. 4. By using polylactic acid-co-caprolactone as a binder and chitosan oligosaccharide-citric acid graft copolymer as a dispersant in the organic system, both have the ability to completely decompose at a low temperature of 400℃, achieving the goal of low carbon and no carbon residue.

[0048] Comparative Example 2 The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that no grain boundary pinning agent Sc2O3 nanocrystals were added in Comparative Example 2.

[0050] Comparative Example 3 The difference between Comparative Example 3 and Example 1 is that the grain boundary pinning agent Sc2O3 nanocrystals in Comparative Example 3 were not subjected to citric acid surface modification treatment.
[0051] The relative density of the finished raw material tape obtained based on Comparative Example 3 is 96.2%, and the dielectric constant ε is... r =7.4, tan δ=3.0×10 -3 The flexural strength is 165 MPa, the warpage is 122 µm, and the foaming rate at the silver paste co-fired interface is 10%.
[0052] It should be noted that the dielectric properties in the embodiments and comparative examples of this application are tested according to GB / T 5594.4-2015 "Test Methods for Performance of Structural Ceramic Materials for Electronic Components Part 4: Dielectric Properties Test". The relative density is obtained using Archimedes' displacement method. Warpage is tested using a laser profilometer. The blistering rate at the co-fired interface of the silver paste is tested using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The test methods and procedures are existing conventional techniques and will not be elaborated upon here.
[0053] This demonstrates that unmodified Sc2O3 nanocrystals exhibit poor dispersibility and weak interfacial bonding, low surface hydroxyl density, and lack a phosphate ester coating layer. Furthermore, the absence of electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance between molecules makes them prone to agglomeration in inorganic solid phases. Simultaneously, unmodified Sc2O3 nanocrystals form void templates within the raw material tape, making it difficult for the glassy phase to fill the large pores between agglomerates during sintering, resulting in increased porosity in the final sample.
[0054] In summary, this application provides a rare-earth-microcrystalline glass-biocellulose synergistic low-temperature sintering LTCC raw material tape and its preparation method. This method utilizes a three-dimensional network synergy between rare-earth-doped crystalline phase, microcrystalline glass transient liquid phase, and biocellulose, combined with a "flash sintering" process based on electro-thermal coupling. This overcomes the traditional problem of balancing low-temperature sintering and interface compatibility in LTCC raw material tapes, achieving effective control of the sintering temperature at 780-820℃ and dielectric loss tan δ ≤ 1.3 × 10⁻⁶. -3The goal of achieving a warpage of <50µm and a 35% reduction in energy consumption (10GHz) makes the preparation method of this rare earth-microcrystalline glass-biofiber synergistic low-temperature sintering LTCC raw material tape highly valuable for industrial application. Specifically, this rare earth-microcrystalline glass-biofiber synergistic low-temperature sintering LTCC raw material tape first utilizes carboxylated or sulfonated modified delignified nanocellulose to uniformly disperse strong electrostatic repulsion forces within the inorganic solid phase. The resulting three-dimensional network structure suppresses micropore formation during sintering and controls the dielectric constant temperature coefficient within ±15ppm / ℃, effectively ensuring significantly improved dielectric stability over a wide temperature range, from -55℃ to 125℃. Secondly, by activating Sc2O3 nanocrystals with dilute nitric acid and coating them with copolymers, an organic coating layer is formed on the surface of the Sc2O3 nanocrystals. This allows the phosphate groups in the organic coating layer to interact with the Sc2O3 nanocrystals. 3+ Coordination bonds are formed, and hydrogen bonds are formed between organic segments and binders and dispersants, effectively solving the interfacial compatibility problem between inorganic particles and organic systems. Meanwhile, polylactic acid-co-caprolactone is used as a binder and chitosan oligosaccharide-citric acid graft copolymer is used as a dispersant in the organic system; both exhibit effective and complete decomposition capabilities at a low temperature of 400℃, achieving the goal of low carbon and no carbon residue.
