Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of tungsten-copper composite material preparation, in particular to a method for preparing tungsten-copper composite material based on calcium heat reduction and infiltration process. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the progress of microelectronic technology, integrated circuit devices are developing towards miniaturization and high density at a high speed, the power per unit area is continuously increased, and the heat generated per unit area is more and more, so the requirements for packaging materials are increasing. Single traditional electronic packaging materials such as ceramics and metals cannot meet the actual requirements of the microelectronic industry, and the research and design of new high-thermal-conductivity, low-expansion, excellent processing performance and mechanical performance packaging composite materials have become a research hotspot in the industry. Tungsten-copper material has the characteristics of high thermal conductivity and low expansion coefficient, and the thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient can be adjusted by changing the W and Cu ratio in the composite material, so as to match the ceramic materials, gallium arsenide, silicon wafer and other semiconductor elements in electronic devices well, prevent thermal fatigue damage caused by interface thermal stress, and at the same time, the heat in the semiconductor can be efficiently conducted out. These excellent properties make it one of the preferred packaging materials for high-power integrated circuits.

[0003] Because W and Cu two elements cannot form solid solution and intermetallic compound, tungsten-copper composite material is a pseudo-alloy combined by W (body-centered cubic structure) and Cu (face-centered cubic structure) with different crystal structures, which has the characteristics of high thermal conductivity of Cu and low expansion coefficient of W, and the physical properties of the material can be adjusted by adjusting the proportion of the two phases. The tungsten-copper packaging shell parts for electronic packaging require materials with high thermal conductivity and air tightness. Since the thermal conductivity is proportional to the sintering degree, the sintering density is an important indicator to measure the performance of tungsten-copper composite material. At present, copper infiltration method is mainly used to prepare tungsten-copper plate, which has the disadvantages of low raw material utilization rate and high processing cost. The infiltration method is a common method for preparing tungsten-copper alloy at present, which is to press tungsten powder into a blank, then sinter it into a porous tungsten skeleton containing pores in hydrogen, and then infiltrate copper into the porous tungsten skeleton at a temperature higher than the melting point of copper. Under the action of capillary force, liquid copper fills the pores in the porous tungsten skeleton, so as to obtain dense tungsten-copper alloy. The prepared tungsten-copper alloy has the characteristics of less impurities, higher density and better performance, and can obtain better sintering density.

[0004] Powder modification refers to a method of changing the characteristics (such as morphology, particle size, specific surface area, surface friction, etc.) or interface characteristics of the powder by physical or chemical means, which is a key technology for optimizing the performance of the powder. The surface modified powder obtained by reducing the oxide powder through a reduction process has been used in the manufacturing process of various alloys. The oxide powder has a large surface roughness, and the large contact area can effectively provide contact pores. The reduction treatment also retains the rough interface of the surface, maintains a strong interface bonding energy, and calcium as a strong reducing agent usually has a reduction capacity superior to other reducing agents such as hydrogen or carbon, which can effectively reduce many metal oxides, including tungsten trioxide (WO3) which is difficult to reduce, and helps to ensure the complete reduction reaction and improve the reduction efficiency. The reduction process is relatively simple, mainly relying on high temperature and calcium as a reducing agent, without the need for complex equipment or catalysts. This can reduce production costs and operational complexity. At the same time, the calcium oxide impurities generated during the reduction process are easy to remove, and calcium vapor is generated at 900℃, which can remove the residual calcium during the sintering process, making the reaction matrix easy to purify.

[0005] The tungsten powder reduced by calcium heat can obtain a tungsten skeleton with high porosity after pre-sintering, which has surface roughness and bonding sites that traditional ultra-fine tungsten powder cannot provide, and improves the interface bonding energy. By using the calcium heat reduction process and infiltration process, surface modified tungsten powder and tungsten copper composite materials with high bonding strength can be effectively obtained in large quantities, which is simple to operate and has high efficiency, and has certain significance for the production and preparation of tungsten copper composite materials.

[0006] Therefore, the present application uses tungsten oxide powder, calcium powder and gas atomized copper powder as raw materials, and obtains a tungsten skeleton by pre-sintering the green body after calcium heat reduction treatment, and obtains a tungsten copper composite material prepared by calcium heat reduction and infiltration process by sintering and densifying the gas atomized copper powder. SUMMARY

[0007] The present application provides a method for preparing a tungsten copper composite material based on calcium heat reduction and infiltration process, which mainly solves the problem that the tungsten obtained by reducing tungsten oxide as raw material has a large roughness, which can effectively solve the significant difference in thermal expansion coefficient and the problem that W and Cu are inherently immiscible, which leads to the difficulty of effectively bonding W and Cu. At the same time, the reduction temperature of tungsten oxide powder in traditional hydrogen reduction process is high, the reaction rate is low, the reaction is incomplete, and there are many reaction products, which leads to the defects that the tungsten powder obtained by hydrogen reduction of tungsten oxide powder has poor performance. The present application reduces the tungsten oxide by the high reduction efficiency of calcium heat reduction process, obtains a tungsten powder with high porosity, which can effectively improve the bonding sites of copper in the tungsten skeleton and improve the pore morphology, and the high sphericity copper powder prepared by gas atomization can significantly improve the wettability of the copper liquid in the tungsten skeleton, increase the driving force of the liquid copper into the tungsten skeleton, and the infiltration process can improve the capillary action of the liquid copper in the tungsten skeleton to improve the bonding strength.

[0015] Step three, spark plasma sintering and infiltration:

[0016] The porous tungsten skeleton obtained in step two is subjected to spark plasma sintering with gas-atomized copper powder, thus finally obtaining tungsten-copper composite material prepared by calcium reduction and infiltration process.

[0018] In step one, the temperature for keeping the tube furnace at a temperature is 800-1000℃, the keeping time is 3-5h, and the mass ratio of calcium powder to tungsten oxide powder is 4-8:1.

[0019] In step two, the pressure for pressing the blank is 30-50MPa, and the initial density of the blank is controlled to be 50%-60%.

[0020] In step two, the pre-sintering temperature is 1300-1500℃, and the sintering time is 3-4h.
