Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of packaging materials technology, and in particular to a chip inductor packaging material and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of emerging industries such as mobile communications, the Internet of Things, and new energy vehicles, chip inductors, as core passive electronic components, play crucial roles in circuits, including filtering, energy storage, and impedance matching, leading to an explosive growth in demand. Especially in high-frequency, high-power applications such as 5G communication base stations, smartphones, and electric vehicle power systems, chip inductors are facing trends towards miniaturization, high power density, and high frequency, placing increasingly stringent performance requirements on packaging materials.

[0003] Chip inductors generate significant magnetic field changes and eddy current losses during operation, leading to a rapid increase in device temperature. Unlike traditional integrated circuit packaging, chip inductor packaging materials must not only possess excellent thermal conductivity to effectively dissipate the heat generated by the device, but also maintain stable electrical performance in strong magnetic field environments. Under high-frequency operating conditions, changes in the dielectric loss and permeability of the packaging material directly affect the quality factor and operational stability of the inductor. Therefore, the packaging material is required to have a low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, and good magnetic property stability.

[0004] Traditional electronic packaging materials are primarily designed for integrated circuit chips, whose performance specifications and application environments differ significantly from those of chip inductors. Chip inductor packaging materials need to ensure excellent thermal conductivity while also meeting several specific requirements, including mechanical strength, dielectric properties, thermal expansion matching, and magnetic field stability. Existing packaging materials typically employ composite systems of organic matrices such as epoxy resin and thermally conductive fillers, using inorganic fillers such as alumina, aluminum nitride, and boron nitride to enhance thermal conductivity. However, these traditional solutions have revealed numerous technical shortcomings in chip inductor applications.

[0005] Boron nitride (BN) is considered one of the most promising thermally conductive fillers due to its excellent thermal conductivity, superior electrical insulation, and good chemical stability. However, the application of BN fillers in chip inductor packaging materials faces severe challenges: First, BN powder is prone to agglomeration in polymer matrices, making it difficult to form a continuous and effective thermally conductive network, significantly reducing thermal conductivity. Second, BN has poor interfacial compatibility with organic matrices, easily leading to interfacial debonding under thermal cycling and mechanical stress, affecting packaging reliability. Furthermore, adding large amounts of BN fillers significantly deteriorates the material's processing performance and mechanical strength, hindering the mass production of chip inductors.

[0006] Hollow glass microspheres, as an emerging functional filler, have shown great application potential in chip inductor packaging materials due to their unique hollow structure and lightweight properties. The hollow structure not only effectively reduces material density and the weight of chip inductors, but also facilitates the control of dielectric properties and reduces high-frequency losses. However, the inherently low thermal conductivity of glass materials severely restricts the application of hollow glass microspheres in high-power chip inductor packaging. Simply increasing the filler content to compensate for insufficient thermal conductivity leads to a sharp increase in material viscosity, seriously affecting the operability of the packaging process.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an innovative technical approach that can organically integrate the excellent thermal conductivity of boron nitride with the low dielectric properties of hollow glass microspheres, and achieve a performance breakthrough in chip inductor packaging materials through advanced interface engineering and structural design, so as to meet the packaging requirements of next-generation high-performance chip inductor devices.

[0034] The branched polyamide amine grafting modification technology employed in this invention introduces abundant amine functional groups and multi-branched molecular chain structures onto the surface of hollow glass microspheres, providing an ideal reaction platform for the subsequent in-situ generation of boron nitride. This molecular design not only increases the density of surface reactive sites but also achieves the ordered arrangement of precursor molecules through spatial configuration control of molecular chains, providing a good template effect for the nucleation and growth of boron nitride crystals. The in-situ generated boron nitride modified layer forms a strong chemical bond with the glass substrate, effectively eliminating the interfacial thermal resistance problem commonly found in traditional physical mixing methods. This chemical bond not only improves the interfacial bonding strength but also ensures efficient heat transfer within the filler network, significantly enhancing the thermal conductivity of the composite material. Simultaneously, the molecular-level mixing and reaction control during the in-situ generation process result in a continuous and uniform microstructure in the boron nitride modified layer, avoiding the problems of filler agglomeration and uneven dispersion in traditional methods.

[0035] Regarding dielectric properties, this invention achieves effective regulation of the dielectric constant by precisely controlling the structure of the boron nitride modified layer. The in-situ generated boron nitride layer possesses good crystallinity and an ordered structure, reducing dielectric loss and polarization effects, and ensuring the stability of the material under high-frequency electric field environments. The presence of the hollow structure further reduces the dielectric constant of the material, meeting the requirements of electronic packaging materials for low dielectric properties.

[0092] Data Analysis:

[0093] As can be seen from the data in Example 2 of Table 1, the chip inductor packaging material prepared by this invention exhibits excellent overall performance balance. This may be attributed to the unique structural advantages brought about by the in-situ generation mechanism of boron nitride on the surface of branched polyamide amine modified microspheres. The abundant amino functional groups in the branched polyamide amine molecular chain may provide uniformly distributed nucleation sites for the melamine borate precursor, guiding the orderly growth of boron nitride crystals during high-temperature nitriding, forming a surface modified layer with good crystallinity and morphology control. This in-situ generated boron nitride layer may establish strong chemical bonds with the glass substrate, effectively eliminating the interfacial thermal resistance and stress concentration problems common in traditional physical mixing. At the same time, the multi-branched structure of the branched polyamide amine may play a structural guiding and stabilizing role in the boron nitride generation process through molecular chain entanglement and hydrogen bonding interactions, ensuring the continuity and integrity of the modified layer.

[0094] As can be seen from the data in Table 1 for Example 2 and Comparative Example 1, the branched polyamide amine graft modification showed a significant improvement in all performance indicators compared to simple amylation modification. This indicates that the molecular structure design of branched polyamide amine plays an important role in optimizing the generation and dispersion of boron nitride. In Comparative Example 1, only aminated hollow glass microspheres were used, and the density and spatial distribution of their surface amino functional groups may be relatively limited. This results in a lack of sufficient reactive sites when interacting with the melamine borate precursor, leading to uneven nucleation density of boron nitride and potentially causing problems such as inconsistent thickness and structural defects in the resulting modified layer.

[0095] As can be seen from the data in Table 1 for Example 2 and Comparative Example 2, the dual surface modification of aminated and branched polyamide amines played a crucial role in improving performance compared to unmodified treatment. This stepwise functionalization modification strategy may create ideal conditions for the effective generation and structural regulation of boron nitride. Comparative Example 2 directly used original hollow glass microspheres, whose surfaces lack organic functional groups and reactive sites. The melamine borate precursor mainly adhered to the surface of the microspheres through physical adsorption. This weak interaction may lead to uneven distribution of the precursor, making it prone to desorption and aggregation during subsequent high-temperature nitriding, affecting the continuity and stability of the boron nitride modified layer.

[0096] As can be seen from the data in Table 1 for Example 2 and Comparative Example 3, the presence of the boron nitride surface modification layer plays a decisive role in improving the thermal conductivity of the material. This significant performance difference reveals the important role of boron nitride as a thermally conductive functional component in composite materials. Comparative Example 3 uses hollow glass microspheres without boron nitride modification. The thermal conductivity of the material mainly depends on the thermal conductivity of the glass substrate itself, while the inherent low thermal conductivity of the glass material limits the overall thermal conductivity of the composite material. Although the hollow structure helps to reduce the weight of the material, it also further reduces the effective thermal cross-sectional area, resulting in lower heat transfer efficiency. In Example 2, the in-situ generated boron nitride modification layer may have constructed continuous high thermal conductivity channels on the surface of the microspheres. The hexagonal lattice structure and strong covalent bond characteristics of boron nitride endow it with excellent phonon transport capabilities, which can effectively improve the heat transfer efficiency on the surface of the filler particles. The in-situ generated boron nitride may have formed a good interfacial bond with the glass substrate, reducing the influence of interfacial thermal resistance, allowing heat to be smoothly transferred in the filler network. Meanwhile, the boron nitride modified layer may also have a positive impact on the mechanical properties of the composite material by improving the chemical compatibility and interfacial bonding strength of the filler surface, thus achieving synergistic optimization of thermal conductivity and mechanical strength.

[0097] As can be seen from the data in Table 1 for Example 2 and Comparative Example 4, boron nitride-modified hollow glass microspheres exhibit significant technical advantages over adding boron nitride powder alone in terms of overall performance optimization, particularly in the balanced control of mechanical strength and dielectric properties. While Comparative Example 4 showed good thermal conductivity, the significant decrease in mechanical strength and the significant increase in dielectric constant indicate that independent boron nitride filler suffers from dispersibility and interfacial compatibility issues. As an independent filler component, boron nitride powder may form local agglomerates and stress concentrations in the composite matrix. These structural defects not only affect the uniform transmission of stress but may also generate polarization effects under an electric field, leading to increased dielectric loss. In contrast, the boron nitride in Example 2, through in-situ generation, forms an integrated composite filler structure with the hollow glass microspheres, potentially achieving a more uniform dispersion and optimized interfacial characteristics. The in-situ generated boron nitride-modified layer not only maintains good thermal conductivity but also enhances the structural integrity and interfacial stability of the filler through chemical bonding with the glass substrate and molecular bridging with branched polyamide amine. This design may effectively avoid the agglomeration problem and interface defects caused by the addition of boron nitride powder. While achieving excellent thermal conductivity, it maintains high mechanical strength and low dielectric constant, realizing the coordinated optimization of multiple properties and better meeting the application requirements of electronic packaging materials.
