Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ceramic circuit packaging, and more specifically, to a packaging method for reducing the void rate of ceramic circuit planting balls. Background Art

[0002] The current circuit packaging method is as follows: (1) Printing solder paste: Place the circuit shell horizontally into the printing carrier, and cover the printing stencil onto the carrier according to the direction; Use a scraper to add an appropriate amount of solder paste and place it in the printed steel mesh, avoiding the mesh holes. Keep the scraper at a certain angle to the steel mesh and manually print the solder paste in one direction; After printing, take out the printed stencil vertically and take out the printed shell. (2) Placing solder balls: According to the circuit pad array, match the mesh holes of the ball planting stencil with the printed circuit pad array, pour the solder balls so that they fall into the corresponding mesh holes one by one and remove the excess solder balls; (3) Reflow soldering: Reflow soldering is to re-melt the solder paste pre-allocated to the circuit pads through hot air convection heating, so as to achieve soft soldering of the electrical and mechanical connection between the high-lead solder ball welding section and the circuit pads, and generate intermetallic compounds.

[0003] Low-lead solder is mainly composed of flux and metal particles, wherein the metal particles are generally alloy tin powder, and the flux is composed of rosin resin, activator, solvent, thixotropic agent, etc.

[0004] Reflow soldering is divided into four stages: preheating, heat preservation, reflow and cooling. During the preheating and heat preservation stages, the flux in the solder paste will volatilize due to the heat, and part of it will be separated from the solder paste, while the tin beads will be tightly gathered due to the volatilization of the flux. During the reflow stage, the remaining flux in the solder paste will evaporate quickly, and the tin beads will melt and aggregate. The volatilized gas of the residual flux and the air between the tin beads cannot escape, but remain in the molten tin, sandwiched by the pad and the solder ball and wrapped in the liquid tin. It is difficult to escape by buoyancy alone.

[0005] In addition, highly viscous residues left by the volatilization of flux, gases generated by the reaction of metal pad oxides with flux, and some gases released from the pad pores are also easily captured at the bottom of the solder ball and difficult to escape due to the tension of the molten liquid tin, forming voids after solidification. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the defects and shortcomings in the prior art, the present invention provides a packaging method for reducing the void rate of ceramic-sealed circuit balls, which can effectively reduce the void rate of high-lead balls.

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a packaging method for reducing the void rate of ceramic package circuit implantation, comprising the following steps: Step S1: providing solder paste, and printing the solder paste onto the metal pads on the ball implantation surface of the ceramic package circuit; Step S2: placing the ceramic-sealed circuit printed with solder paste into a reflow furnace for direct reflow soldering, so that the solder paste is melted and solidified to form a solid alloy on the metal pad; Step S3: cleaning the ceramic-sealed circuit after reflow soldering, preparing soldering flux after cleaning, and printing the soldering flux onto the solid alloy according to the size ratio; Step S4: after the solder flux printing is completed, the high-lead solder ball is fixed on the solid alloy by a positioning carrier; Step S5: placing the positioning carrier and the ceramic-sealed circuit with the high-lead solder balls fixed thereon into a reflow furnace for reflow soldering to complete the brazing of the high-lead solder balls with the solid alloy; Step S6: taking out the brazed ceramic circuit and cleaning it to complete the packaging and ball implantation of the ceramic circuit.

[0008] Furthermore, the step S1 further includes: Place the ceramic-sealed circuit horizontally into the printing carrier, and cover the printing stencil on the printing carrier according to the direction; at the same time, align the opening of the printing stencil with the metal pad on the ball-planting surface of the ceramic-sealed circuit; Use a scraper to add an appropriate amount of solder paste and place it on the printing stencil. Keep a certain angle between the scraper and the printing stencil, and print the solder paste on the metal pads of the ceramic sealing circuit in one direction. After the solder paste is printed, the printed stencil is taken out vertically upwards to take out the pottery-sealed circuit after the solder paste is printed.

[0009] Furthermore, the material of the solder paste is Sn63Pb37.

[0010] Furthermore, the cleaning of the ceramic-sealed circuit after reflow soldering also includes: Select the corresponding cleaning solvent based on the solder paste. For water-washable solder paste, use water or alcohol for cleaning. The ceramic-sealed circuit after reflow soldering is cleaned with a cleaning solvent to remove the flux and impurities precipitated from the solder paste during the reflow soldering process.

[0011] Further, the method of preparing soldering flux after cleaning is completed, and printing the soldering flux onto the solid alloy in proportion to the size, further comprises: Align the opening of the printed stencil with the solid alloy on the ball implant surface of the ceramic circuit; Use a scraper to add a proper amount of flux and place it on the printing stencil. Keep a certain angle between the scraper and the printing stencil, and print the flux on the solid alloy of the ceramic circuit ball planting surface in one direction; After the flux printing is completed, the printed stencil is taken out vertically upwards to take out the pottery-sealed circuit after the flux printing is completed.

[0012] Furthermore, after the solder flux printing is completed, the high-lead solder ball is fixed on the solid alloy through a positioning carrier, and further includes: Align the opening of the positioning carrier with the solid alloy on the ball planting surface of the ceramic sealing circuit; pouring high-lead solder balls onto the positioning carrier; The positioning carrier is shaken so that the high-lead solder ball falls into the opening of the positioning carrier and is fixed on the solid alloy by the flux.

[0013] Furthermore, the method of taking out the brazed ceramic circuit and cleaning it to complete the packaging and ball planting of the ceramic circuit also includes: Select the corresponding cleaning solvent based on the solder paste. For water-washable solder paste, use water or alcohol for cleaning. The ceramic sealed circuit after brazing is cleaned by a cleaning solvent.

[0014] Furthermore, the material of the positioning carrier is graphite.

[0015] The packaging method for reducing the void rate of ceramic-sealed circuit balls provided by the present invention has the following advantages: since there are no high-lead solder balls to block the flux from reducing oxides and the volatilized gases of the solvent, and the flux and impurities precipitated after the solder paste reflow are cleaned, the void rate of high-lead balls can be effectively reduced.

[0028] Step S2: Figure 4 As shown, the solder paste 1 is directly reflow-welded to the metal pad 9; wherein the ceramic-sealed circuit 2 after the solder paste printing is placed in a reflow furnace for direct reflow soldering, so that the solder paste 1 is melted and solidified to form a solid alloy 3 on the metal pad; It should be noted that the reflow temperature curve of different solder paste materials requires debugging temperature, and the specific curve refers to the TDS of the solder paste material. When measuring the reflow temperature curve in this step, only the temperature curve when the circuit is placed alone is measured.

In this step, when measuring the reflow temperature curve, the temperature curve when the circuit is placed in the positioning carrier is measured.

[0034] Step S6: Figure 7C As shown, the brazed ceramic-sealed circuit 2 is taken out and cleaned to complete the packaging and ball implantation of the ceramic-sealed circuit.

[0035] Preferably, the method of taking out the brazed ceramic-sealed circuit 2 and cleaning it to complete the packaging and ball implantation of the ceramic-sealed circuit also includes: Select a corresponding cleaning solvent based on the solder paste 1, wherein the water-washable solder paste 1 is cleaned with water or alcohol; The brazed ceramic circuit 2 is cleaned by a cleaning solvent.
