Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of inductor preparation, and particularly to a chip multilayer ferrite inductor and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Inductors can be classified into wound inductors, thin film inductors, multilayer inductors, etc. according to their structures. Among them, multilayer inductors are widely used in small circuits that require high current due to their miniaturization, thinness, and small DC resistance.

[0003] Chip multilayer inductors generally have technical defects such as complex manufacturing processes, high costs, and unstable inductor product performance. Chip multilayer ferrite inductors are widely used in high-frequency circuits, and the stability of their performance directly affects the reliability and efficiency of the entire circuit. In the traditional production process, the magnetic properties of ferrite chip inductors may fluctuate over time, thus affecting their long-term stability. Therefore, finding effective methods to improve the performance stability of ferrite chip inductors has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a chip multilayer ferrite inductor and a preparation method thereof. By using liquid nitrogen impregnation treatment after the silver firing process and before the electroplating process in the preparation process of the multilayer ferrite inductor, the electrical stability of the ferrite material can be improved, and the change range of the long-term impedance can be reduced.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, one of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a preparation method of a chip multilayer ferrite inductor, including the following steps:

[0006] (1) After grinding and pre-calcining the NiCuZnCo ferrite material, adding a casting aid and grinding to obtain a ferrite slurry, casting it into a film, cutting the film, punching holes, printing, stacking, laminating, cutting, debinding, and firing to obtain a green body;

[0007] (2) Chamfering and sealing the ends of the green body, and then performing silver firing treatment at 350-750°C;

[0008] (3) Making the semi-finished product after silver firing fully contact with liquid nitrogen, with an impregnation time of 3-5 minutes, and restoring to room temperature after impregnation;

[0009] (4) Electroplating a nickel layer and a tin layer on the ends of the semi-finished product after liquid nitrogen treatment to obtain a chip multilayer ferrite inductor product;

[0010] In step (1), the casting aid includes a binder, a solvent, and a dispersant with a mass ratio of (15-25):(25-35):(0.5-2).

[0011] In the ferrite inductor product of this application, after the silver firing process and before reaching the electroplating process, liquid nitrogen cryogenic impregnation treatment is adopted. The ultra-low temperature treatment can induce the ordered arrangement and optimized recombination of the internal microstructure of the ferrite, thereby reducing the density of defect states, enhancing the electrical stability and current-carrying characteristics. Whether it is low impedance or high impedance, the long-term impedance value changes less, and even in the low-impedance group, there is no electrical change amplitude exceeding 2%. The long-term impedance / inductance stability of the ferrite inductor is significantly improved.

[0012] In addition, control the liquid nitrogen impregnation time to avoid incomplete internal stress release caused by the inability to evenly reach the ultra-low temperature state of the entire product due to too short impregnation time, and at the same time avoid the product temperature being too low due to too long impregnation time, which may increase the thermal stress when returning to normal temperature, may cause microcracks or other structural defects, and will also increase the production cycle, reduce production efficiency, and increase costs.

[0013] As a preferred solution, the mass ratio of the NiCuZnCo ferrite material to the casting aid is 1:(0.8 - 1.2).

[0014] As a preferred solution, in step (1), the NiCuZnCo ferrite material includes NiO, ZnO, CuO, Co3O4, and Fe2O3 with a molar ratio of (15 - 20):(25 - 30):(8 - 10):(3 - 6):(40 - 50).

[0015] As a preferred solution, the binder is a phenolic epoxy resin.

[0016] As a preferred solution, the organic solvent is n-propyl acetate and / or isobutanol.

[0017] As a preferred solution, the dispersant is dibutyl phthalate.

[0018] As a preferred solution, in step (1), the debinding temperature is 200 - 400°C.

[0019] As a preferred solution, in step (1), the sintering temperature is 500 - 900°C.

[0020] As a preferred solution, in step (1), the pre-calcination temperature is 850 - 900°C, and the pre-calcination time is 1 - 5 h.

[0021] As a preferred solution, in step (1), the ferrite slurry is cast into a film by a dry process, the film is cut into green blanks and punched, an inductor pattern and a designed dividing line are printed with silver paste, dried, and the dried wafers are stacked and pressed according to the inductor design structure. The stacked wafers are laminated again, and the laminated wafers are cut into individual green blank products with coils and lead-out ends using the dividing line as the alignment coordinate. After debinding and firing, a fired blank is obtained.

[0022] As a preferred solution, the temperature of the liquid nitrogen is below -196°C.

[0023] In order to solve the above technical problems, the second object of the present invention is to provide a chip multilayer ferrite inductor prepared by using the preparation method of the above chip multilayer ferrite inductor.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] In this application, after the silver firing process of the ferrite inductor product and before reaching the electroplating process, liquid nitrogen cryogenic impregnation treatment is adopted to induce the orderly arrangement and optimized recombination of the internal microstructure of the ferrite, enhance the electrical stability and current-carrying characteristics, and the long-term impedance value changes less significantly. The long-term impedance / inductance stability of the ferrite inductor is significantly improved. This method is simple to operate, easy to integrate into the existing production process flow, and will not significantly increase the production cost. Detailed Embodiments

The impedance value was intermittently tested over a period of 24 days (test equipment: Keysight E4982A, test fixture: Keysight 16192A, test frequency: 100Mhz) to confirm the maximum electrical property change amplitude △Z of each group Max and the product ratio P (△Z>2%) showing such changes (test instrument equipment error δ≤2%). The test results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0077] Table 1 - Impedance value test results of the chip multilayer ferrite inductors of the examples and comparative examples of this application

[0078]

[0079]

[0080] As shown in Table 1, for the ferrite inductor products of Example 1 of this application, after the silver sintering process and before reaching the electroplating process, liquid nitrogen cryogenic impregnation treatment can induce an orderly arrangement and optimized recombination of the internal microstructure of the ferrite, thereby reducing the density of defect states and enhancing the electrical stability and current-carrying characteristics. Whether it is low impedance or high impedance, compared with the products of Comparative Example 4 without liquid nitrogen cryogenic treatment, the change amplitude over more than 20 days is relatively small, and the product ratio with an electrical change exceeding 2% in the high-impedance group is lower, and there is no electrical change exceeding 2% in the low-impedance group, significantly improving the long-term impedance / inductance stability of the ferrite inductor.

[0081] Compared with Example 1, the preparation process of the ferrite inductor in Comparative Example 1 is to conduct liquid nitrogen cryogenic impregnation treatment after the silver sintering and electroplating processes of the semi-finished product, resulting in a larger electrical change amplitude of the ferrite inductor products, especially in the high-impedance group. The maximum electrical change amplitude has increased by more than 1 time, and the product ratio with an electrical change exceeding 2% has increased by nearly 4 times. Moreover, the product ratio with a change exceeding 2% in the low-impedance group has increased from none to 15%, indicating that the long-term impedance / inductance stability of the ferrite inductor in Comparative Example 1 is significantly worse. The reason may be that the electroplating layer hinders the grain optimization and stress release of the ferrite matrix, and the thermal expansion mismatch between the coating and the matrix causes interface defects.

[0082] Compared with Example 1, the preparation process of the ferrite inductor in Comparative Example 2 is to use liquid nitrogen low-temperature impregnation treatment after the chamfering process and before reaching the capping process. There is a certain degree of increase in the maximum electrical property change range of the ferrite inductor product, and there is also a small increase in the proportion of products with a change exceeding 2%. This shows that the long-term impedance / inductance stability of the ferrite inductor in Comparative Example 2 is significantly worse. The reason is that chamfering processing may introduce large residual stresses, and the drastic temperature change (from room temperature to -196°C) during liquid nitrogen low-temperature impregnation will exacerbate the internal stress release of the material, resulting in local deformation or cracks, affecting stability. In Example 1, part of the stress has been released through high-temperature treatment during the silver sintering process, and the material structure is more stable, and the stress response to subsequent low-temperature treatment is more controllable.

[0083] Compared with Example 1, the preparation process of the ferrite inductor in Comparative Example 3 is to use liquid nitrogen low-temperature impregnation treatment between the silver sintering and electroplating processes and after the electroplating process. There is a small increase in the maximum electrical property change range of the ferrite inductor, but the proportion of products with a change exceeding 2% in the low-impedance group has increased from zero to 22%, and the proportion of products with an electrical property change exceeding 2% in the high-impedance group has increased by 2 times. This shows that the ferrite inductor in Comparative Example 3 also has insufficient long-term impedance / inductance stability. The reason is that the electroplating layer hinders the direct optimization of the matrix by liquid nitrogen, induces interface stress, and the secondary liquid nitrogen treatment destroys the stable magnetic domain structure and introduces oxidation risk.

[0084] Compared with Example 1, the preparation process of the ferrite inductor in Comparative Example 4 is not to perform liquid nitrogen low-temperature impregnation treatment. There is a significant increase in the maximum electrical property change range of the ferrite inductor. The proportion of products with a change exceeding 2% in the low-impedance group has increased from zero to 42%, and the proportion of products with an electrical property change exceeding 2% in the high-impedance group has increased to 58%. This shows that the ferrite inductor in Comparative Example 4 also has insufficient long-term impedance / inductance stability, and the reasons are attributed to grain disorder, stress residue, and micropore defects.

[0085] Compared with Example 1, the preparation process of the ferrite inductor in Comparative Example 5 is to use NiCuZn powder doped with Bi. There is a significant increase in the maximum electrical property change range of the ferrite inductor. The proportion of products with a change exceeding 2% in the impedance group has increased from zero to 35%, and the proportion of products with an electrical property change exceeding 2% in the high-impedance group has increased to 50%. This shows that the ferrite inductor in Comparative Example 5 also has insufficient long-term impedance / inductance stability, and the reasons are attributed to the influence of the introduction of Bi on the ferrite lattice, magnetic permeability, and temperature characteristics.

[0086] Compared with Example 1, the dispersant in the ferrite slurry of Comparative Example 6 is excessive, and the maximum electrical property change range of the ferrite inductor shows an obvious increase. The proportion of products with a change exceeding 2% in the impedance group increases from zero to 28%, and the proportion of products with an electrical property change exceeding 2% in the high-impedance group increases to 45%. This shows that the ferrite inductor of Comparative Example 6 also suffers from insufficient long-term impedance / inductance stability. The reason is attributed to the excessive dispersant inhibiting grain growth, and the liquid nitrogen treatment cannot repair the defects.
