Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of low-temperature co-fired ceramic materials and their preparation, and particularly to an LTCC raw material tape material, an LTCC substrate, and a preparation method thereof. Background Technology
[0002] Low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) technology is an ideal packaging technology for miniaturizing and scaling up electronic components. With the increasing prevalence of 5G technology, the requirements for miniaturization and integration of electronic components are becoming increasingly stringent, while the amount of information is growing daily, demanding higher data capacity and transmission speeds. Especially when the feature size of electronic components in large-scale integrated circuits is less than 0.1 micrometers, the extremely high component density significantly reduces the distance between wires, increasing resistance and energy consumption. Furthermore, it creates RC circuits, causing signal delays and crosstalk noise, among other drawbacks. These problems have long constrained the development of very large-scale integrated circuits. The relationship between component signal delay time and resistance / capacitance can be expressed by the formula:
[0003] τ=RC=2ρε(4L 2 / d 2 +L 2 / T 2 ) Formula 1
[0004] Where τ is the signal delay time, R is the resistance, C is the capacitance, ρ is the resistance of the conductor metal, ε is the dielectric constant of the insulating material between the conductors, d is the distance between the conductors, L is the length of the connection, and T is the thickness of the line. Equation 1 clearly describes the relationship between the circuit integration level and the RC delay phenomenon. As the circuit integration level increases, the distance d between the conductors will inevitably decrease, the conductor thickness T will decrease, and the length of the connection will continuously increase. The only way to reduce the RC delay of the material is to reduce the resistivity of the conductor and the dielectric constant of the insulating layer. Since the resistivity of the conductor is greatly related to the material, and the conductors of LTCC multilayer circuit boards are mostly gold / silver conductors with relatively fixed resistivity, the only option is to reduce the dielectric constant of the insulating layer substrate.
[0005] Therefore, low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) materials require lower dielectric constants when used as substrates to reduce signal delay. When used as chip inductors, they also require lower dielectric constants and dielectric losses to reduce capacitance and increase inductance, thus adapting to high-frequency applications. Currently, LTCC materials with low dielectric constants (<5) are mainly produced by importing powders from the United States and Japan, with domestic manufacturers casting them into films.
[0006] Many domestic manufacturers have also developed LTCC ceramic powder with a dielectric constant of <5 by combining B2O3-SiO2 glass with silicon oxide ceramic, alumina ceramic, cordierite ceramic, and quartz glass powder. However, in this method, the LTCC raw material tape cast with powder is co-fired with silver electrode paste, resulting in a large number of bubbles around the silver electrode. This leads to a large number of pores around the LTCC ceramic sheet bonded to the silver electrode, making the LTCC substrate material unsuitable for commercial use. Summary of the Invention

[0037] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the invention. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0038] This invention provides an LTCC raw material tape material, which is formed by casting LTCC casting slurry. By mass percentage, the LTCC casting slurry includes 40wt% to 50wt% inorganic material components and 50wt% to 60wt% organic material components.

[0044] Boric acid, silica powder, sodium carbonate, and potassium carbonate are weighed and mixed according to the specified ratio. Preferably, the mixture is melted at 1500–1600℃ for 2–4 hours, quenched into glass blocks, and then sand-milled to control the particle size D50 to 1.0–2.0 μm. After drying, the powder is passed through a 40-mesh sieve to obtain BSi glass powder.
[0045] Based on the mass percentage of the BSiAl glass, the aforementioned BSiAl glass comprises: 25-35% B2O3, 20-50% SiO2, 20-50 wt% Al2O3, 1-3 wt% Na2O, and 1-3 wt% K2O. Optionally, B2O3 is introduced from boric acid, SiO2 from silica powder, Na2O from sodium carbonate, and K2O from potassium carbonate.
[0046] Boric acid, silica powder, alumina, sodium carbonate, and potassium carbonate are weighed and mixed according to a specified ratio. Preferably, the mixture is melted at 1500–1600℃ for 2–4 hours, quenched into glass blocks, and then sand-milled to control the particle size D50 to be 1.0–2.0 μm. After drying, the powder is passed through a 40-mesh sieve to obtain BSiAl glass powder.
[0047] Based on the mass percentage of the CaAlSi glass-ceramic, the aforementioned CaAlSi glass-ceramic comprises: CaO 20–50 wt%, Al2O3 15–40 wt%, SiO2 25–50 wt%, and B2O3 8–20 wt%. Optionally, CaO is introduced from calcium carbonate, B2O3 from boric acid, and SiO2 from silicon micropowder.
[0048] Calcium carbonate, boric acid, silica powder, and alumina are weighed and mixed according to a specified ratio. Preferably, the mixture is melted at 1400–1500℃ for 2–4 hours, quenched into glass blocks, and then sand-milled to control the particle size D50 to be 1.0–2.0 μm. After drying, the powder is passed through a 40-mesh sieve to obtain CaAlSi glass powder.
[0049] The CaBSi glass-ceramic comprises, by weight percentage: 25-50 wt% CaO, 25-40 wt% B2O3, 30-50 wt% SiO2, and 1-3 wt% ZrO2. Optionally, CaO is introduced from calcium carbonate, B2O3 from boric acid, and SiO2 from silica powder.
[0050] Calcium carbonate, boric acid, silica powder, and zirconium oxide are weighed and mixed according to a specified ratio. Preferably, the mixture is melted at 1400–1500℃ for 2–4 hours, quenched into glass blocks, and then sand-milled to control the particle size D50 to be 1.0–2.0 μm. After drying, the powder is passed through a 40-mesh sieve to obtain CaBSi glass powder.
[0051] The BaBAlSi microcrystalline glass comprises, by mass percentage: 20-40 wt% BaO, 20-30 wt% B2O3, 10-20 wt% Al2O3, and 30-50 wt% SiO2. Optionally, BaO is introduced from barium carbonate, B2O3 from boric acid, and SiO2 from silicon micropowder.
[0052] Barium carbonate, boric acid, silica powder, and alumina are weighed and mixed according to a specified ratio. Preferably, the mixture is melted at 1500–1600℃ for 2–4 hours, quenched into glass blocks, and then sand-milled to control the particle size D50 to be 1.0–2.0 μm. After drying, the powder is passed through a 40-mesh sieve to obtain BaBAlSi glass powder.
[0053] Al2O3 ceramic powder, SiO2 ceramic powder, ZrO2 ceramic powder, cordierite ceramic powder, and quartz glass powder are processed through a sand mill with water as the medium to control the D50 particle size of the powder to be 0.8-1.5 μm. After drying, the powder is passed through a 40-mesh sieve to obtain fine Al2O3 ceramic powder, fine SiO2 ceramic powder, fine ZrO2 ceramic powder, fine cordierite ceramic powder, and fine quartz glass powder.
[0054] Because BSi glass powder is a non-crystalline glass powder, and it begins to vitrify and melt at 700℃, while the cylindrical blank of BSi glass powder has already melted and collapsed at 850℃, it is more likely to react when sintered with silver electrode paste at 850-900℃. Therefore, after printing the silver electrode paste onto LTCC raw material tape and sintering, bubbling and pores are likely to appear on the ceramic sheet around the silver electrode.
[0055] While BSiAl glass is also a non-crystalline glass, it contains Al, which, like the silicon-oxygen network, allows it to form aluminum-oxygen tetrahedra or aluminum-oxygen octahedra. The aluminum-oxygen octahedra occupy more oxygen, causing the boron-oxygen trigonal [BO3] to transform into a boron-oxygen tetrahedron [BO4], resulting in a denser glass structure and a higher melting temperature of the glass powder. Therefore, when sintered with silver electrode paste at 850-900℃, blistering is less likely to occur around the silver electrode.
[0056] When CaAlSi, CaBSi, and BaBAlSi microcrystalline glass are ground into powder and then sintered at a higher temperature, they readily form CaSiO3, CaB2O4, and BaAl2Si2O8 crystal phases, respectively. These three crystal phases can make the glass structure more compact, making the cylindrical glass powder blank less prone to melting and collapse at 850-900℃, thus effectively preventing the silver electrode paste from reacting and bubbling due to the glass powder.
[0057] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned LTCC raw material tape: According to the ratio, the powder with controlled particle size is put into a nylon can containing zirconia balls, then solvent and dispersant are added, and ball milling is performed for 2-4 hours. After the mixture is uniform, plasticizer and binder are added to make the casting slurry have adhesiveness and toughness. Then ball milling is performed for 2-4 hours. After vacuum degassing, casting is performed to obtain the LTCC raw material tape material.
[0058] This invention also provides a method for preparing an LTCC substrate:
[0059] The raw material tape was cut into 100mm*100mm dimensions, 10 layers were cross-stacked, vacuum-sealed, and isostatically pressed into a green blank. The green blank was then placed in a sintering furnace and heated to 450℃ at a rate of 1℃ / min from room temperature. It was held at 450℃ for 3 hours to remove the binder. After binder removal, the temperature was increased to 850-900℃ at a rate of 5℃ / min and held for 30 minutes to complete sintering into a ceramic substrate. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the substrate were measured at 5GHz. Three samples were taken for each formulation, and the average value was used as the final test data.
[0060] The raw material tape is cut to the required size, and then 30-40 layers are cross-laminated, vacuumed, and isostatically pressed into a blank. The blank is then cut into strips with a height of 5mm, a width of 5mm, and a length of 45mm. The strips are then placed in a sintering furnace and heated to 450℃ at a rate of 1℃ / min from room temperature. The temperature is held at 450℃ for 3 hours to remove the binder. After the binder is removed, the temperature is increased to 850-900℃ at a rate of 5℃ / min and held for 30 minutes to obtain ceramic strips. The flexural strength of the ceramic strips is tested using a universal testing machine according to the method in GB / T 6569-2006.

[0076] The proportions of organic materials in LTCC casting slurry are shown in Table 7 below (i.e., Examples 1-11):
[0077] Table 7
[0078]
[0079] In this invention, the organic material only serves as a carrier. During the 450℃ debinding process, all the organic material reacts and volatilizes, while the inorganic materials (glass, ceramics) remain unchanged. Between 450℃ and 900℃, the reaction primarily occurs between the glass and ceramics. After this process, the substrate is sintered into an LTCC substrate. The casting pastes in Examples 1-11 above contain 50-60 wt% organic material. By adjusting the ratio of organic material in the casting paste, LTCC raw tapes with a smooth appearance, no cracks, and good toughness can be prepared.
[0080] The dielectric constant, dielectric loss, flexural strength, and porosity around silver of the LTCC raw tapes prepared in Examples 1-11 after sintering at 850-900℃ for 30 min are shown in Table 8 below.
