Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of silicon nitride material preparation, and in particular to an online cutting process for preparing silicon nitride green bodies. Background Art

[0002] Silicon nitride is a high-performance semiconductor material with good thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, high temperature resistance and chemical stability. Therefore, it is widely used in heat dissipation devices in the fields of electronics, aerospace and automobiles.

[0003] In the manufacturing process of silicon nitride related products, silicon nitride needs to be cut. At present, mortar cutting technology or diamond wire cutting technology is usually used for the above cutting. The principle of mortar cutting technology is to use cutting steel wire to drive mortar, and use the SiC particles in the mortar to rub against the crystal rod to achieve the purpose of cutting. The working principle of the currently widely used diamond wire cutting technology is to use electroplating or resin bonding methods to attach diamond particles to the surface of the steel wire matrix to form a diamond wire, and use water and a small amount of organic matter as cutting fluid to perform directionally grinding and cutting on silicon ingots.

[0004] The existing silicon nitride preparation method still has the problem of cracks in the green body during cutting and low cutting accuracy. Therefore, how to improve the integrity and cutting accuracy of the green body during cutting while ensuring the performance of silicon nitride is an important problem facing the current silicon nitride preparation technology. In order to solve this technical problem, technicians in this field have proposed many solutions, such as the patent technical document CN116587440A discloses a silicon nitride wire cutting method, which includes: installing a ring diamond wire saw on the diamond wire cutting device and tensioning it, and fixing the silicon nitride blank sample to be cut on the support platform with a clamp; starting the motor to drive the guide wheel to rotate and drive the ring diamond wire saw to move; controlling the lifting device to lift the silicon nitride blank sample, so as to use the ring diamond wire saw to cut the silicon nitride blank sample; solving the problem that the existing silicon nitride wire cutting process uses reciprocating diamond wire cutting, and the cutting speed and cutting accuracy need to be improved. However, the green body forming rate and accuracy cut by these prior art methods still need to be improved.
