Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of chip electronic packaging, and in particular to a high-temperature resistant working sealing silver-copper paste for a power chip and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the further improvement of the new generation of high-power chips and their power density, the requirements for power electronic modules and their packaging processes are also becoming increasingly higher. In particular, the interconnection technology between the chip and the substrate largely determines the power loss and reliability of the power module. Traditional solder paste has a low melting point and poor thermal conductivity, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-power device packaging and its high-temperature application. In addition, with the rapid development of third-generation semiconductor devices (such as silicon carbide and gallium nitride), more stringent requirements are placed on the performance of packaging. The sintering temperature of low-temperature sintering silver sealing paste is equivalent to that of traditional solder paste, and the melting point after sintering reaches 961°C. It can exhibit excellent thermal and electrical conductivity under high-temperature service conditions, and will not produce the typical fatigue effect that occurs in traditional solder paste layers with a melting point of less than 300°C. It has extremely high sealing reliability and is an important sealing material for third-generation high-temperature semiconductor chips.

[0003] However, the cost of pure silver sealing paste is high. Metallic copper can be used as a sealing solder alternative material because its cost is significantly lower than silver and it has similar thermal and electrical conductivity to silver. However, copper powder is very easy to oxidize and generally requires a protective atmosphere or a reducing atmosphere during sintering. For example, Chinese patent 201710343566.8 reports a nano-copper solder paste with a sintering temperature of 310°C and requires inert gas protection during sintering. Patent publication number CN107025950A discloses the preparation of an oxidation-resistant silver-plated nano-copper powder, wherein the coating thickness of the nano-silver is between 100nm and 400nm, and the nano-silver particle size is between 40nm and 70nm. The silver-coated copper powder coated with the nano-silver particles is made into a copper solder paste, which can achieve low-temperature sintering in air while having good electrical conductivity, heat dissipation and high-temperature resistance. Patent publication number CN114378474A describes a method for coating copper powder with nanosilver particles. The nanosilver particles grow on the surface of the copper powder. A silver-coated copper paste prepared from this silver-coated copper powder can prevent copper oxidation during sintering. Although silver-coated copper powder can resist oxidation in air at room temperature and lower temperatures, the silver coating typically shrinks at temperatures of 300°C, exposing the copper. This exposure can lead to oxidation in air. For high-temperature sealing pastes, the sintering temperature is typically raised to near 300°C to save sintering time and improve production efficiency. Improving the high-temperature oxidation resistance of the silver-coated copper powder is crucial for sealing reliability. Therefore, a chip sealing silver-copper paste is urgently needed to address this high-temperature oxidation issue. Summary of the Invention

After drying and sintering, the circuit connection of the chip on the ceramic substrate is completed.

[0018] Furthermore, the sintering method includes pressureless sintering and pressure sintering, and the sintering temperature of the silver-copper paste is 200-300°C.

[0019] Furthermore, the drying temperature is 80° C.-160° C., the sintering temperature is 250° C.-300° C., and the sintering time is 5 minutes-1 hour.

[0020] Furthermore, the grinding is performed using a three-roller grinding machine, and the fineness of the silver-copper paste after grinding is less than 8 μm.

Therefore, the following specific embodiments and drawings are only exemplary descriptions of the technical solution of the present invention and should not be regarded as the entire invention or as a limitation or restriction of the technical solution of the present invention.

[0027] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 Shows:

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] A silver-copper paste for high-temperature resistant sealing of power chips, comprising, by mass, 90 parts of silver-coated copper powder, 0 parts of sinterable conductive filler, 3.8 parts of high-temperature adhesive, 0.2 parts of curing agent, 6 parts of organic solvent, and 0 parts of auxiliary agent, wherein the auxiliary agent comprises at least one of a thixotropic agent, an antioxidant, or a defoaming agent;

[0030] The mass ratio of the high temperature adhesive to the organic solvent is (1-5):(1-10), and the mass ratio of the curing agent to the organic solvent is 1:(6-100);

[0031] The weight percentage of silver in the silver-coated copper powder is 10wt%-30wt%. The silver-coated copper powder includes micron silver-coated copper powder. The median particle size of the micron silver-coated copper powder is 1.5μm, and the tap density is greater than 4.5g / cm 3 .

[0032] High temperature adhesive is a resin system used to provide high temperature stability and bonding performance. The high temperature adhesive is a thermosetting curing resin system, including resin and curing agent. The organic solvent is used to disperse the material and dissolve the solvent of the adhesive and curing agent, which is composed of ethylene glycol butyl ether and diethylene glycol butyl ether acetate.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] A silver-copper paste for high-temperature resistant sealing of power chips, comprising, by weight, 33 parts of silver-coated copper powder, 50 parts of sinterable conductive filler, 4.5 parts of high-temperature adhesive, 0.32 parts of curing agent, 9 parts of organic solvent, and 3.1 parts of additives, wherein the additives include at least one of a thixotropic agent, an antioxidant, or a defoaming agent;

[0035] The mass ratio of the high temperature adhesive to the organic solvent is (1-5):(1-10), and the mass ratio of the curing agent to the organic solvent is 1:(6-100);

[0036] The weight percentage of silver in the silver-coated copper powder is 10wt%-30wt%. The silver-coated copper powder includes micron silver-coated copper powder. The median particle size of the micron silver-coated copper powder is 6μm, and the tap density is greater than 4.5g / cm3 , a bondable conductive filler is used to enhance the conductivity and sintering performance of a metal mixed powder, wherein the sinterable conductive filler is a mixed powder composed of silver powder, tin alloy powder and indium alloy powder, and the sinterable conductive filler includes: the median particle size of the silver powder is 0.1μm-0.9μm or 10nm-90nm.

[0037] High temperature adhesive is a resin system used to provide high temperature stability and bonding performance. The high temperature adhesive is a thermosetting curing resin system, including resin and curing agent. The organic solvent is used to disperse the material and dissolve the solvent of the adhesive and curing agent, which is composed of ethylene glycol butyl ether and diethylene glycol butyl ether acetate.

[0038] Example 1 uses silver-coated copper powder with a low silver content of 20wt%, combined with a high proportion of organic solvents and a base resin system, and phenolic epoxy resin to achieve a simplified formulation design for silver-copper paste. Without the addition of sinterable conductive fillers, its resistivity (4.5μΩ·cm) and thermal conductivity (190W / mK) are still superior to traditional solder pastes, and its thrust strength (32MPa) meets the requirements of low-power packaging. This formulation ensures process stability by optimizing the binder-to-solvent mass ratio (0.8:6≈1:7.5) and the curing agent-to-solvent mass ratio (0.2:6≈1:30), making it suitable for cost-sensitive applications with moderate heat dissipation requirements while significantly reducing the amount of precious metals used.

[0039] Example 2 achieves the ultimate performance optimization of silver-copper paste by combining silver-coated copper powder with a high silver content of 30wt%, a high proportion of sinterable conductive fillers and composite additives. Its resistivity (2.8μΩ·cm) and thermal conductivity (245W / mK) are close to the level of pure silver paste, its thrust strength (50MPa) is even industry-leading, and its anti-oxidation starting temperature (530°C) is significantly improved. The uniformity of dispersion under high-filler systems is ensured by precise control of the mass ratio of adhesive to solvent (4.5:9≈1:2) and the mass ratio of curing agent to solvent (0.32:9≈1:28). This formula is particularly suitable for high temperatures and IGBT module packaging. While maintaining low costs, its performance can replace imported pure silver glue.

[0040] Example 1 focuses on low cost and simplified process, sacrificing some electrical / thermal conductivity, and is suitable for low-end packaging scenarios. Example 2 is oriented towards high performance and meets the requirements of harsh working conditions through the synergistic effect of high silver fillers and additives.
