Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of solder materials, in particular to a non-ferrous solder for low-temperature brazing and application. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of advanced manufacturing with high integration and high reliability requirements such as electronic packaging, power device interconnection and flexible circuit, brazing as a core connection means, its material performance directly affects the conductivity efficiency, thermal management capability and structural stability of the device. With the development of electronic components towards miniaturization and high density, the soldering interface is exposed to complex thermal and electrical stress environment, which puts forward higher functional requirements for the solder, especially in the low-temperature process window to realize efficient conductive connection, which is the key to improve packaging efficiency and system reliability. Low-temperature brazing technology has broad application prospects in the fields of flexible electronics, biosensors and thermal element packaging due to its small damage to the base material and strong environmental adaptability. Therefore, the solder material not only needs to have excellent low melting point characteristics to adapt to low-temperature welding process, but also should have high conductivity to ensure the stability of signal transmission and power conduction. The synergistic optimization of these two performances helps to significantly improve the comprehensive performance of the device, reduce the manufacturing cost, expand the application boundary of low-temperature welding technology in high-end electronic manufacturing, and thus promote the development of new generation of electronic interconnection technology, which has important significance for material design and process innovation.
[0003] The current non-ferrous solder developed for low-temperature brazing application still faces significant challenges in the synergistic realization of high conductivity and low-temperature welding performance. Although existing researches have tried to improve the performance of the solder by introducing metal nanostructures, composite flux or adjusting alloy composition, it is still difficult to meet the dual requirements of low-temperature processing and efficient conductivity in practical application. For example, a Chinese patent with publication number CN102873469B discloses a low-temperature aluminum thermal solder for welding metal and ceramic. Although it has made some progress in reducing the melting point, its conductive performance after welding is unstable, and the interface bonding layer resistance is high, which makes it difficult to meet the needs of high-performance device connection, and there is a problem of insufficient high conductivity and low-temperature welding performance. The reason is that the distribution of conductive phase in the traditional solder system is uneven, the interface structure lacks stability, the thermal decomposition of the flux component is not complete, and the microstructure regulation ability is limited. These problems jointly restrict the formation of continuous, dense and high-conductive welding connection of the solder at low temperature. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a non-ferrous solder that can efficiently melt, rapidly wet and form a high-conductive interface at low temperature, to meet the urgent needs of new generation of electronic packaging and interconnection technology for material performance.

After the reaction, the liquid phase components are removed by centrifugal separation at a speed of 8000-12000 rpm, and the solid phase copper-glucose composite is retained. The unreacted glucose and dispersant are removed by washing with 3.0-5.0 parts of anhydrous ethanol for 3-5 times. The precursor is obtained by vacuum drying at 60-80 °C for 2-4 h. The precursor is uniformly spread in an alumina crucible and placed in the constant temperature zone of a tube furnace. A hydrogen mixed gas with a volume fraction of 3.8-4.2% carried by argon is introduced at a flow rate of 60-90 mL / min. The temperature is raised to 800-900 °C at a rate of 5-10 °C / min, and the glucose is pyrolyzed to form a carbon coating layer by carbonization treatment for 1-3 h. Subsequently, the temperature is lowered to 40-60 °C at a natural cooling rate, and then switched to an argon protective atmosphere. Finally, the carbon-coated copper nanorod is obtained.
[0015] Further, the preparation method of the copper nanorod is as follows: 1.0-1.5 parts of copper nitrate is dissolved in ethanol to prepare a 0.4-0.6 M copper nitrate ethanol solution. 8.0-12.0 parts of sodium hydroxide is dissolved in deionized water to prepare a 4.0-6.0 M sodium hydroxide aqueous solution.

Finally, the copper nanorod is obtained.
[0016] The carbon-coated copper nanorod design of the present application is mainly used for enhancing the comprehensive performance of conductivity and oxidation resistance, and the technical concept is to build a nanoscale conductive framework with regular structure, and form a dense and continuous carbon layer on the surface, so as to realize the double optimization of the conductive channel and the interface stability. The copper nanorod can effectively build a conductive network in the solder system due to its excellent intrinsic conductivity and the electronic migration advantage brought by the one-dimensional structure, thereby improving the overall conductivity of the solder joint. However, the copper material is easy to oxidize during heat treatment and welding, which leads to the interruption of the conductive path and the increase of the interface resistance. Therefore, the carbon-coated copper nanorod prepared by the hydrothermal method and atmosphere control carbonization process forms a stable carbon layer structure. The carbon layer not only plays a physical isolation and chemical passivation role for the copper nanorod, effectively inhibits the oxidation behavior, but also has a certain conductivity, which can cooperate with the internal copper core to build a multi-dimensional conductive network. In addition, the carbon layer can also enhance the interfacial bonding between the particles in the composite system, and improve the wetting and spreading ability and bonding reliability of the solder under low temperature conditions. By fine tuning the carbon layer thickness and copper nanorod morphology parameters, the carbon-coated copper nanorod can not only ensure the continuity of the high-conductive channel, but also has good thermal stability and electrochemical inertness, so as to realize stable and efficient electronic connection in the low-temperature welding environment. The introduction of the carbon-coated copper nanorod not only realizes the optimization of the performance at the single component level, but also significantly improves the overall conductivity and environmental adaptability of the material through the structure and interface synergy between the carbon-coated copper nanorod and other components of the solder, thereby providing an effective material basis and structural support for building high-performance and low-temperature processing non-ferrous metal solder.
[0017] Further, the preparation method of the tin-bismuth alloy-coated silver nanoparticles is as follows: 1.0-3.0 parts of silver nanoparticles are dispersed in 8.0-15.0 parts of ethylene glycol to form a homogeneous dispersion system, 0.8-2.5 parts of stannous chloride, 1.2-3.0 parts of bismuth nitrate and 4.0-10.0 parts of polyvinylpyrrolidone are sequentially added thereto, and then mixed uniformly under argon protection at a stirring speed of 400-700 rpm, and then heated to 60-90 DEG C at a temperature rising rate of 2-5 DEG C / min and maintained at this temperature, 0.5-2.0 parts of ascorbic acid or 0.1-0.3 parts of sodium borohydride in ethylene glycol is slowly added at a dropping rate of 0.5-2.0 mL / min under the condition of pH 4.0-6.0, and the reaction is carried out at constant temperature for 30-60 min to coat the tin-bismuth alloy layer on the surface of the silver core in a co-reduction manner, and then the supernatant is discarded by centrifugal separation at a centrifugal speed of 8000-12000 rpm, and the solid product is retained, and then the unreacted chloride ions and nitrate residues are removed by ultrasonic washing with 6.0-10.0 parts of anhydrous ethanol for 2-3 times, and then vacuum dried at 40-60 DEG C for 3-5 h to obtain the tin-bismuth alloy-coated silver nanoparticles.
[0018] Further, the preparation method of the silver nanoparticles is as follows: 1.0-2.5 parts of silver nitrate is dissolved in a mixed solvent composed of 30-50 parts of deionized water and 30-50 parts of ethanol, 10-30 parts of polyvinylpyrrolidone is added as a surface stabilizer, the reaction system temperature is maintained at 0-10 DEG C under the condition of a stirring rate of 300-600 rpm, 0.2-0.5 parts of sodium borohydride ethanol solution 5.0-10.0 parts is added dropwise at a dropping rate of 0.5-2.0 mL / min to carry out a reduction reaction, the reaction time is 10-30 min to reduce silver ions into silver nanoparticles with a particle size of 20-80 nm, after the reaction, the precipitate is reserved by centrifugal separation at a centrifugal rate of 8000-12000 rpm and the supernatant containing unreacted ions and by-products is discarded, 20-40 parts of ethanol is used for ultrasonic washing for 2-3 times to remove residual nitrate ions and free surfactants, and finally, vacuum drying at 30-50 DEG C for 1-3 h obtains uniformly dispersed silver nanoparticles.
[0019] The present application adopts the design of tin-bismuth alloy coated silver nanoparticles, which is mainly used for enhancing the synergistic performance of conductivity and low-temperature welding. The core is to realize the functional complementation between the high-conductivity metal core and the low-melting alloy shell by constructing composite nanoparticles with core-shell structure, so as to meet the dual requirements of efficient electron transmission and low-temperature rapid melting in the welding process. Specifically, the silver nanoparticles as the inner core can effectively construct stable and dense conductive paths due to their excellent intrinsic conductivity and high surface area at the nanoscale; and the outer tin-bismuth alloy shell has lower melting characteristics and can participate in melting and expansion at a lower temperature, which significantly improves the low-temperature wettability and interface bonding capacity of the solder. The composition ratio of tin-bismuth alloy is accurately controlled to make it have suitable phase change behavior and thermal stability, which ensures that it can act as a melting carrier to promote the connection between particles in the welding process, and will not significantly sacrifice the overall conductivity. The core-shell structure is realized by co-reduction deposition method to form a continuous and uniform alloy shell layer, which further improves the compatibility and interface interaction between particles, avoiding the problems of aggregation or uncontrolled migration of single nanometer metal particles in the melting process. At the same time, the introduction of polyvinylpyrrolidone effectively stabilizes the silver core and its alloy coated structure during preparation, ensuring the dispersity and film uniformity of the particles. The overall structural design not only combines the high conductivity advantage of silver core and the low-temperature welding characteristics of tin-bismuth alloy, but also improves the comprehensive performance of the material in the welding process through the synergistic effect of structure level and components, providing an effective solution for the performance optimization and process adaptability of low-temperature brazing materials.

[0023] S2. Rosin, hydroxyethyl cellulose and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole tetrafluoroborate are added, mixing is performed at a temperature of 30-60℃ and a speed of 500-800 rpm for 30-45 min, then indium nitrate and citric acid are added, and mixing is continued for 10-20 min;
[0024] S3. The mixture is loaded into a hot-pressing mold, the pressing temperature is controlled within 40-60℃, the pressure is 10-30 MPa, and the pressure is maintained for 1-3 min to form a strip-shaped solder;
[0025] S4. Low-temperature heat treatment is performed at 60-80℃ in an inert atmosphere, heat preservation is performed for 20-40 min, and after cooling, cutting and vacuum packaging are performed to obtain a final strip-shaped solder product.
[0026] The application further discloses an application of the non-ferrous metal solder for low-temperature brazing in electronic device packaging, power device heat dissipation connection or flexible circuit metal interconnection.
[0027] The present application adopts a composite design strategy to introduce carbon-coated copper nanorods and tin-bismuth alloy-coated silver nanoparticles into a low-temperature soldering non-ferrous metal solder system in cooperation, aiming to realize the organic unity of electrical conductivity and low-temperature welding performance, and to improve the comprehensive adaptability of the solder in complex electronic connection environment through interface regulation and structure optimization among multiple components. The carbon-coated copper nanorods serve as high-conductivity structural units, with the copper core inside having excellent electrical conductivity, and the outer carbon shell effectively inhibiting the oxidation of copper in air or during heat treatment, stabilizing the electrical conductivity path and microstructure; the tin-bismuth alloy-coated silver nanoparticles combine the high electrical conductivity of silver with the low melting point characteristics of tin-bismuth alloy, forming a composite conductive phase with both electronic transport and low-temperature wetting functions, and the combination of the two in the composite system can form a multi-scale conductive network, improving the overall continuity and interface connection capability. Through mechanical stirring at medium temperature, the two types of core functional particles are uniformly compounded, and 2-mercaptobenzimidazole is introduced as an interface regulator to effectively improve the dispersion stability and wettability between metal particles, while n-dicarboxylic acid or malic acid and other organic active agents are used to adjust the surface activity and wetting behavior of the reaction system, and the dispersant composed of PVP and polyethylene glycol further enhances the uniformity and structural integrity of the system. On this basis, the addition of rosin resin, hydroxyethyl cellulose and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate not only gives the solder good adhesive properties and film-forming ability, but also improves its adaptability in flexible circuits and complex interfaces; the synergistic effect of indium nitrate and citric acid helps to adjust the interface electronic structure of the solder and the intermetallic reaction activity during welding. By controlling the hot pressing and low-temperature heat treatment conditions, the structural density and component distribution uniformity of the solder during the molding process are ensured, and finally a strip-shaped solder product with excellent comprehensive performance is obtained. This technical scheme realizes the unified optimization of electrical conductivity, low-temperature weldability, dispersion stability and interface activity through the synergistic construction of multiple functional materials, significantly improving the application potential of the solder in electronic device packaging, power device heat dissipation connection and flexible circuit metal interconnection, etc.

The results show that the outer surface of the silver core particles is uniformly coated with tin and bismuth elements, with no observed elemental segregation or delamination, indicating a continuous and dense alloy coating with good interfacial bonding. In summary, the copper nanorods produced by this invention have a regular structure, uniform carbon coating, and complete silver nanoparticle coating. The structural and phase analysis results jointly verify the quality of the solder's key components, providing the structural foundation for subsequent excellent soldering performance.

[0141]
[0142]
[0143] From Table 1, it can be seen that the solder performance is affected by the synergistic effect of the ratio of various raw materials and process parameters. The amount of carbon-coated copper nanorods plays an important role in the construction of the conductive network. Excessive amount (such as 10.0 parts) can easily lead to nanorod agglomeration, increase the solder joint resistance and weaken the interface bonding strength. If the ratio of tin-bismuth alloy-coated silver nanoparticles is too high (such as 95.0 parts), it is beneficial to maintain the conductivity, but it may dilute the enhancement effect of the copper rod network. Insufficient carbon layer thickness (such as 2.0 nm) or loose carbon layer structure (such as too high hydrothermal temperature) can weaken the oxidation resistance of copper nanorods. During high-temperature welding, copper is easily oxidized, which leads to a significant decrease in conductivity and interface bonding. If the aspect ratio of copper nanorods is too small (<4), it will destroy its one-dimensional conductive characteristics, causing the failure of the anisotropy of electrical conductivity, and the solder joint resistance increases significantly. If the mass ratio of tin-bismuth deviates from the eutectic composition (such as 40:60), the melting point increases, which affects the adaptability and reliability of low-temperature welding. If the particle size of silver particles is too large or the coating is uneven (such as insufficient reduction), it will lead to the deterioration of wettability and interface formation. If the pH is too low (such as 3.0) during the tin-bismuth coating process, the alloy layer will be rapidly reduced and cracks will occur, which will weaken the metallurgical bonding. If strong acidic substances such as citric acid are used as organic active agents, it will accelerate the pyrolysis of rosin resin, leading to an abnormal increase in the viscosity of the solder, which affects the wetting and spreading. If the ratio of PVP and polyethylene glycol in the dispersant is unbalanced, it will reduce the compatibility of the system, cause the agglomeration of nanoparticles, and form local conductive dead zones. If the pressing pressure of the solder is insufficient (such as 5 MPa), it is easy to form internal pores, which reduces the density and strength of the solder joint. If the stirring rate is too low (such as 100 rpm), the dispersion of copper rods and silver particles will be uneven, the electrical conductivity path will be discontinuous, and the overall performance of the solder joint will decrease. If the heat treatment temperature exceeds the reasonable range (such as 90℃), it will cause the decomposition of additives such as hydroxyethyl cellulose, which affects the toughness and forming stability of the solder. If the surface of the copper nanorods is not coated with a carbon layer, it will be easily oxidized during welding, which will seriously damage the conductivity and bonding strength. If the silver particles are not coated with a tin-bismuth alloy layer, the wettability and interface alloying ability will be insufficient, the solder joint appearance will be poor, and the reliability will decrease significantly. The above factors interact with each other to determine the conductivity, interface bonding performance, wetting and forming ability, and long-term service reliability of the solder during low-temperature welding.
