Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of conductive silver paste, in particular to a conductive silver paste for LTCC hole filling and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of modern electronic information technology, the demand for miniaturization, integration, modularization, multifunctionality, high performance, and high reliability of electronic components has become increasingly urgent. This is why LTCC (low-temperature co-fired ceramic) technology has emerged. Developed in 1982 by Hughes Aircraft Company in the United States, LTCC is a novel material technology. It forms a dense, green tape of precisely defined thickness from low-temperature sintered ceramic powder. Laser drilling, microporous grouting, and precision conductive paste printing are used to create the desired circuit patterns. Multiple passive components are embedded in a multilayer ceramic substrate, which is then laminated and sintered at 900°C to form a high-density circuit with no interference in three dimensions. LTCC is a multidisciplinary integrated component technology. Due to its excellent electronic, mechanical, and thermal properties, it has become the preferred method for miniaturization, integration, and modularization of electronic components, and is widely used in integrated devices, microwave technology, and other fields.
[0003] At present, the domestic LTCC industry is gradually developing. Although some manufacturers have begun to produce products, there is still no representative series of conductive silver paste for LTCC hole filling. Based on this, the present invention provides a conductive silver paste for LTCC hole filling and a preparation method thereof. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the defects of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a conductive silver paste for LTCC hole filling and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0005] The present invention solves the technical problem by adopting the following technical solutions: The present invention provides a conductive silver paste for LTCC hole filling, comprising the following raw materials in percentage by weight: 82~92% conductive silver powder, 5~9% organic solvent, 0.5~4% organic particles, 0.5~3% organic resin, 0.3~2% organic additives, 0.01~1% inorganic additives.
[0006] Preferably, the organic solvent includes one or more of alcohols or ethers, the organic resin includes one or more of ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, and acrylic resin, and the organic additive includes one or more of a dispersant, a leveling agent, a plasticizer, and a coupling agent.

[0008] Preferably, the inorganic additive is a rare earth-doped modified additive, and the specific preparation method is: S1: heat-treat rare earth cerium at 110-130°C for 10 min, then heat to 220°C at a rate of 2-4°C / min, hold for 5 min, and finally air-cool to room temperature; Immerse the cerium cooled to room temperature in a modification solution 3-5 times the total amount of cerium, stirring and modifying the solution, stirring until the solution is modified to obtain a modified cerium solution; The preparation method of the modified liquid is: Blend 2-3 parts of silane coupling agent KH550 and 1-3 parts of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate solution into 5-8 parts of lanthanum chloride solution, then add 2-4 parts of zirconium oxide, stir thoroughly, and obtain a modified solution; S2: The modified cerium solution and the additive are mixed in a weight ratio of 5:3 and ball-milled at a ball-milling speed of 1000 r / min for 1 hour. After the ball-milling is completed, the mixture is filtered and dried to obtain a rare earth-doped modified additive.
[0009] Preferably, the mass fraction of the sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate solution is 2-5%; the mass fraction of the lanthanum chloride solution is 4-7%.
[0010] Preferably, the stirring speed of the stirring modification treatment is 450-500 r / min, and the stirring time is 20-30 min.
[0011] Preferably, the preparation method of the additive is: S11: Silicon carbide, sodium silicate solution and dopamine hydrochloride solution are mixed in a weight ratio of 3:2:5 to obtain silicon carbide liquid; S12: 3-5 parts of yttrium oxide, 2-4 parts of scandium and 5-8 parts of silicon carbide liquid are mixed and ultrasonically treated. After the ultrasonic treatment is completed, the mixture is filtered and dried to obtain an additive.
[0012] The rare earth-doped modified additive is made of rare earth cerium through thermal improvement, and then improved with the modifying liquid. The lanthanum chloride solution, zirconium oxide silane coupling agent KH550 and other raw materials in the modifying liquid are improved through the blending between the raw materials, and then improved by ball milling of the additives. The silicon carbide in the additives is combined with sodium silicate solution and dopamine hydrochloride solution, and the scandium and silicon carbide liquid are specifically improved. The obtained rare earth-doped modified additive is added to the system to optimize the conductivity of the silver paste.
[0013] The mass fraction of the sodium silicate solution is 2-5%; the mass fraction of the dopamine hydrochloride solution is 4-7%; the ultrasonic power of the blending ultrasonic treatment is 350-400W, and the ultrasonic treatment lasts for 20 minutes.
[0014] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a conductive silver paste for LTCC hole filling, comprising the following steps: The organic resin and the organic solvent are mixed, heated and stirred, and then filtered under positive pressure to obtain the desired organic carrier; The organic additive, the organic carrier, the inorganic additive, the organic particles, the conductive silver powder and the organic solvent are uniformly mixed to obtain a premix; The premix is fully dispersed by a three-roll mill grinding and dispersion method to obtain a pre-finished product, and then the premix is filtered and homogenized under positive pressure to obtain the conductive silver paste for LTCC hole filling.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides a conductive silver paste for filling holes in LTCC and a preparation method thereof. The present invention primarily considers the compatibility of the conductive silver paste with the shrinkage rate of the LTCC substrate during co-firing, optimizes the particle size selection and ratio of the silver powder and the inorganic particles, so that the conductive silver paste can obtain good conductivity and silver layer density under low-temperature sintering conditions in air, and can well match LTCC substrates of different thicknesses and pore sizes. Conductive silver paste is made by adding organic carriers and some organic additives to ensure that all raw materials in the formula can be evenly dispersed and not agglomerated after mixing, grinding and dispersion, and has good rheological properties and printing performance. The role of inorganic additives is to further improve the printability and permeability of the conductive silver paste.
[0018] Silver powder acts as a functional conductive phase, and together with the organic particles, it plays a role in controlling the shrinkage rate. In addition, the conductive silver paste of the present invention does not add glass powder. It mainly relies on the physical and chemical reactions between the silver powder and the ceramic matrix during the sintering process to achieve bonding. The basic principle is as follows: the melting point of silver is 961.93°C. Generally speaking, due to its high activity, the melting point of micron-sized silver powder is about 700-800°C, which is much lower than that of pure silver. Some nano-sized silver powders have a sintering temperature of 200-300°C. Therefore, the present invention does not add glass powder, but relies on the melting, flow, grain growth of the silver powder during the sintering process and the chemical reaction with the matrix to obtain good bonding strength. Specifically, after reaching the melting point during the sintering process, the silver powder begins to flow and fills into the tiny pores on the surface of the matrix to bond with the matrix. At the same time, there are some chemical reactions between the silver powder and some substances in the ceramic matrix. For example, silver reacts with components such as the glass phase in the ceramic matrix to form intermetallic compounds or solid solutions, thereby enhancing the bonding between the silver layer and the matrix. Application publication number CN 112614608 A mentions "a conductive silver paste for low-temperature co-fired ceramics and its preparation method." The patent mentions that the main material silver powder used in the conductive silver paste is 450-550nm spherical silver powder. The present invention uses spherical silver powder with a larger particle size, including one or more of three spherical silver powders with an average particle size of 0.8μm, 3.6μm and 6μm. All three types of silver powder are domestically produced materials, which have more cost advantages.
[0019] Patent application publication number CN 115798781 A mentions "A LTCC Conductive Silver Paste and Its Preparation Method." The raw materials used in the electrode silver paste described in the article include glass powder, but the role of the glass powder is not further explained. Generally speaking, glass powder in conductive silver paste serves as a sintering aid and binder, but the conductive silver paste described in the present invention does not require the addition of glass powder. Silver has a melting point of 961.93°C. Generally speaking, micron-sized silver powder has a melting point of approximately 700-800°C, much lower than pure silver due to its high activity. Some nano-sized silver powders even have a sintering temperature of 200-300°C. Therefore, the present invention does not add glass powder, relying instead on the silver powder's melting, flow, grain growth, and chemical reaction with the substrate during the sintering process to achieve good bonding strength. Specifically, after reaching its melting point during the sintering process, the silver powder begins to flow and fills the tiny pores on the substrate surface, bonding to the substrate. At the same time, there are some chemical reactions between silver powder and some substances in the ceramic matrix. For example, silver reacts with the glass phase components in the ceramic matrix to form intermetallic compounds or solid solutions, thereby enhancing the bonding between the silver layer and the matrix.
[0020] Patent application publication number CN 113782250 A mentions "a high thixotropic low-temperature co-fired ceramic inner electrode silver paste, its preparation method and application". The inner electrode silver paste described in the article is a silver paste for printed conductive circuit inner electrodes, which is inconsistent with the application direction of the conductive silver paste for hole filling of the present invention. In addition, the conductive silver paste of the present invention can be applied to LTCC substrates with different pore sizes. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
