Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and particularly relates to a structure and preparation method of a multi-layer ceramic substrate with ultra-high thermal conductivity. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the integration and high power of electronic devices, the high heat generated will inevitably lead to a decrease in the performance and reliability of the devices, causing the internal structure of the material to be damaged and deformed due to the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficient. The existing electronic module designs usually adopt complex structures, are bulky, and have low thermal conductivity, and cannot meet the requirements of some special fields with strong reliability and high heat dissipation requirements, such as aerospace and small aircraft. Therefore, it is extremely urgent to design a power conversion device with a compact structure and high efficiency to meet the requirements in different power conversion scenarios.

[0003] Research shows that the failure rate of power modules increases with the increase of the operating temperature. On the basis of the normal operating temperature, for every 10 °C increase in temperature, the failure rate will approximately double. Therefore, the excellence of the cooling method of power modules has a great impact on their operating reliability and service life. At present, the packaging method of power modules is that the aluminum-clad or copper-clad ceramic substrate is welded to the bottom plate through solder. The surface thermal resistance is large, and due to the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficient of the materials, stress accumulation occurs, and it is easy to separate the metallization layer at the substrate interface, resulting in reliability problems. Moreover, the bottom plates used are mostly high-density materials, and the overall packaging is too heavy and the cost is high, which cannot meet the requirements of some high-reliability and lightweight fields.

[0004] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, we propose a structure and preparation method of a multi-layer ceramic substrate with ultra-high thermal conductivity to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Aiming at the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this application is to improve the heat dissipation efficiency, make the thermal conductivity of the ceramic substrate better, smooth the temperature gradient, thereby reducing the problem of the sharp increase in surface roughness caused by thermal warping and stress accumulation brought by thermal cycling, and improving the thermal cycling reliability of power devices. Compared with the prior art, a structure and preparation method of a multi-layer ceramic substrate with ultra-high thermal conductivity are provided.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.

[0007] A structure of a multi-layer ceramic substrate with ultra-high thermal conductivity includes a multi-layer ceramic substrate body. The multi-layer ceramic substrate body is composed of a double-sided aluminum-clad ceramic substrate and a single-sided aluminum-clad ceramic substrate. The pattern surface of the double-sided aluminum-clad ceramic substrate is the chip welding area. Both the double-sided aluminum-clad ceramic substrate and the single-sided aluminum-clad ceramic substrate include ceramic chips. The non-pattern surface of the double-sided aluminum-clad ceramic substrate is the flow channel layer, and the aluminum-clad layer of the single-sided aluminum-clad ceramic substrate is the water supply layer.

[0008] Further, the thickness of the ceramic chip is 3 - 7 mm, the aluminum thickness of the chip welding area is 0.1 - 0.4 mm, and the total thickness of the water supply layer and the flow channel layer is 2 - 4.5 mm.

[0009] A preparation method of a super-high thermal conductivity multi-layer ceramic substrate structure includes the following steps:

[0010] Step 1, pattern transfer: perform pattern transfer on the double-sided aluminum-clad ceramic substrate and the single-sided aluminum-clad ceramic substrate through film design, film pasting, exposure, and development using a film.

[0011] Step 2, etching: etch the double-sided ceramic substrate and the single-sided ceramic substrate using an aluminum etchant.

[0012] Step 3, friction stir welding: take the double-sided ceramic substrate and the single-sided ceramic substrate obtained in Step 2 for friction stir welding to obtain a multi-layer ceramic substrate.

[0013] Step 4, surface treatment: take the multi-layer ceramic substrate obtained in Step 3 for surface treatment of the chip welding area to prepare a finished product.

[0014] Step 5, punching: take the multi-layer ceramic substrate obtained in Step 3 for mechanical punching.

[0015] Further, the types of ceramic chips of the double-sided aluminum-clad ceramic substrate and the single-sided aluminum-clad ceramic substrate in Step 1 include aluminum nitride ceramics, silicon nitride ceramics, and alumina ceramics.

[0016] Further, in Step 1, the film design of the non-graphic surface flow channel layer of the double-sided aluminum-clad ceramic substrate has a full-etching area, a non-etching area, and a process edge area. The film design of the aluminum-clad surface of the single-sided aluminum-clad ceramic substrate has a semi-etching area and a process edge area. The non-etching area is set as an array of squares, each square having a side length of 0.05 - 0.25 mm, and the distance between adjacent two squares is 0.05 - 0.2 mm. The full-etching area is completely etched, the process edge area is square, and the width of the process edge area is 3 - 5 m. The height difference between the semi-etching area and the process edge area is 1 / 2 of the thickness of the aluminum-clad layer of the single-sided aluminum-clad ceramic substrate.

[0017] Further, in Step 2, the aluminum etchant is a ferric chloride system, and the etching factor is 1 - 1.5.

[0018] Further, in the third step, friction stir welding is to weld the process edges of the double-sided aluminum-clad ceramic substrate and the single-sided aluminum-clad ceramic substrate. The rotation speed during friction stir welding is 800 - 1000 r / min, the welding speed is 50 - 75 mm / min, the elevation angle is 0°, the stirring head used for welding is a non-threaded conical stirring head, the length of the stirring pin is 2.5 - 4.5 mm, the length of the stirring pin matches the width of the process edge, and the length of the stirring pin is slightly less than the width of the process edge.

[0019] Further, in the fourth step, the surface treatment is electroless nickel immersion gold treatment. The nickel plating on the surface is electroless nickel plating in a sodium hypophosphite system. The components of the sodium hypophosphite electroless nickel plating solution are: 25 - 30 g / L of NiSO4·7H2O, 25 - 30 g / L of NaH2PO2·H2O, 15 - 20 g / L of CH3COONa, and 10 - 20 g / L of Na3C6H5O·2H2O. The components of the gold plating solution are: 0.5 - 2.5 g / L of KAu(CN)2, 45 - 55 g / L of C6H14N2O7, 8 - 12 g / L of NaH2PO2·H2O, 1 - 3 g / L of NiCl2, and 70 - 80 g / L of NH4Cl.

[0020] Further, in the fourth step, the nickel plating temperature is 78 - 85 °C, the nickel plating time is 20 - 25 min, the gold plating temperature is 83 - 88 °C, the pH value of the gold plating solution is 5 - 6, the gold plating time is 3 - 7 min. The stirring methods during nickel plating and gold plating are both air stirring. The thickness of the nickel layer after nickel plating is 4 - 6 μm, and the thickness of the gold layer after gold plating is 0.04 - 0.06 μm.

[0021] Further, in the fifth step, the aperture of the mechanical punching is 1.0 - 2.0 mm, and the punching position is at the center of the aluminum layer in the middle of the multi-layer ceramic substrate.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this application are as follows:

[0023] (1) The present invention provides a structure of a multi-layer ceramic substrate: chip welding area - ceramic chip - flow channel layer - water supply layer - ceramic chip. The interior of the multi-layer ceramic substrate is divided into a flow channel layer and a water supply layer. The flow channel layer is at one end close to the hot surface, and the flow channel layer is arranged in an array of squares. When the liquid flows, the contact area between water and the aluminum surface is increased, improving the heat dissipation efficiency; the water supply layer is at the end far from the hot surface, so the heat reaching the water supply layer is less, that is, the temperature rise of the fluid in the water supply layer is small, and at the same time, cooling water is continuously provided to the flow channel layer to smooth the temperature gradient. Therefore, the product of the present invention has excellent heat conduction effect, reduces problems such as a sharp increase in surface roughness caused by thermal cycling, and improves the thermal cycling reliability of power devices.

[0024] (2) By increasing the thickness of the ceramic and using an aluminum - clad ceramic substrate with a thicker ceramic chip, the stiffness of the multi - layer ceramic substrate is improved, meeting the stiffness requirements for use as a packaging base plate. In addition, during the welding process, the bonding of two aluminum - clad ceramic substrates is achieved through friction stir welding, avoiding defects such as cracks and bubbles generated during the aluminum - aluminum material welding process, and improving the reliability of the multi - layer ceramic substrate. The product prepared by the present invention has a great heat conduction effect, reducing the problems of thermal warping and stress accumulation caused by thermal cycling, and improving the thermal cycling reliability of power devices.

[0055]

[0056]

[0057] Conclusion:

[0058] During the thermal cycling test, due to the low yield strength of aluminum and the accumulation of thermal stress during the test process, the surface roughness of aluminum increases sharply. Therefore, the improvement of the feedback stress is carried out by comparing the change in surface roughness before and after the test.

[0059] Based on the surface roughness data before and after the thermal cycling test of the examples and comparative examples, it can be concluded that the internal flow channel layer 3 and the water supply layer 4 can significantly improve the heat conduction of the multi-layer ceramic substrate, with obvious stress improvement, solving the problems of increased warping and stress accumulation caused by thermal cycling, and greatly improving the reliability of power devices.

[0060] The present invention designs a multi-layer ceramic substrate structure of chip welding area 1 - ceramic chip 2 - flow channel layer 3 - water supply layer 4 - ceramic chip 2. The flow channel layer 3 provides cooling water to smooth the temperature gradient, and the internal design is an array of square grids, greatly increasing the heat dissipation contact area. In addition, through friction stir welding, defects such as cracks and pores generated during the aluminum-aluminum welding process are reduced. The product prepared by the present invention has excellent heat conduction effect, reduces the problems of thermal warping and stress accumulation caused by thermal cycling, and improves the thermal cycling reliability of power devices.
