TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic component materials, and in particular to a low-dielectric constant and low-dielectric loss LTCC material and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Some popular application scenarios such as 5G / 6G communication, vehicle-mounted network, and wearable devices have high-speed and large-capacity network requirements, and therefore a new generation of high-speed wireless network needs to develop towards millimeter waves with large bandwidth and high rate. With the use of wireless spectrum covering microwave, millimeter wave, and even higher frequency bands, the platform of low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology for passive integration and passive / active integration and modular technology will have greater development space. Therefore, there are great opportunities and challenges for related materials and devices, especially in solving the basic needs of LTCC powders for higher frequency applications.
[0003] For millimeter wave applications, with the reduction of wavelength and circuit size, device miniaturization is no longer a difficulty, and low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss of materials are more important. For example, a lower dielectric constant medium substrate is needed under millimeter wave. Although the dielectric constant of the LTCC material depends on the frequency range in which it operates, to improve the transmission rate, the dielectric constant of the medium substrate should be as small as possible, and the dielectric constant of the substrate material for microwave low frequency is generally less than 10.0. At the same time, the material suitable for microwave low frequency will significantly increase the loss under millimeter wave, and millimeter wave applications require materials with lower dielectric loss (tanδ<0.001).
[0004] At present, the LTCC commercial products are represented by American Ferro-A6M, Dupont-951, Dupont-9K7, etc., among which American Ferro has also developed an LTCC material with a dielectric constant of 4.10 (@10.0 GHz). Domestic LTCC materials mainly target Ferro A6M and Dupont 951, and there are also corresponding reports on low-dielectric and low-loss LTCC materials for millimeter wave applications. For example, Chinese invention patent CN113372103 A discloses an LTCC ceramic powder composed of borosilicate-based glass and calcium borosilicate glass, which has a dielectric constant as low as about 5.48 and a high-frequency dielectric loss as low as about 0.0001. Chinese invention patent CN118459089 A reports an LTCC material composed of soft and hard borosilicate glass powder, which has a millimeter wave dielectric constant less than 4.5 and a dielectric loss less than 0.005. Although the above-mentioned materials have basically met the application requirements of millimeter wave technology in terms of dielectric constant or dielectric loss, it is difficult to have both low dielectric constant (less than 5.0) and low dielectric loss (less than 0.001), and the LTCC material prepared has poor bending strength due to high glass content, which also limits its further application in future millimeter wave technology.
[0005] At present, the low dielectric LTCC materials mainly include glass / ceramic composite system, glass-ceramic system and low-fired ceramic system. Among them, the glass / ceramic composite system has high dielectric loss and low Q value because of no crystallization during the glass sintering process; the glass-ceramic system has low dielectric loss and good high-frequency performance, but the selection and control of the crystalline phase during the sintering process are extremely high, and the technical barrier is large; and the low-fired ceramic system has few commercial products. In summary, for the LTCC material applied to the millimeter wave technology, it is difficult to simultaneously have low dielectric constant and low loss dielectric performance by selecting any of the above systems.
[0006] The present application proposes a new scheme to solve the above technical problems. SUMMARY

[0024] Principle of the application:
[0025] 1. The current traditional low-dielectric and low-loss LTCC material is mainly a glass / ceramic composite system, generally using a low-softening-point glass to play a role in reducing temperature by liquid-phase sintering, but this method will lead to high dielectric loss of the prepared LTCC material due to the introduction of the glass phase.
[0026] Therefore, researchers often consider the technical idea of mixing two or more glass / ceramic materials. However, in the general understanding of those skilled in the art, the performance of multiple materials is usually considered in such research work, and then the combination is used on this basis. Therefore, in order to achieve the purpose of preparing a low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss LTCC material, they first think of selecting a low dielectric constant glass / ceramic material and a low dielectric loss glass / ceramic material, and then performing combination experiments of two or more materials, so as to obtain the optimal product with both properties. However, in fact, low dielectric constant glass / ceramic materials usually have a high content of glass phase. Although such glass generally has a low dielectric constant, the dielectric loss of the material is high due to the amorphous phase of the glass during the sintering process. In order to maintain a low dielectric loss of the material after sintering, low dielectric loss glass / ceramic materials generally have a low amount of glass phase (<10%) or use microcrystalline glass instead of traditional amorphous glass, which usually has the problems of high sintering temperature and difficult to control crystallization. This leads to the problems of deterioration of the overall dielectric loss of the material, high sintering temperature, and uncontrollable sintering process after the combination and sintering of the two types of materials. Therefore, according to the inertial technical research and development idea of simple performance superposition, it is impossible to obtain a LTCC material with both properties.
[0027] 2、The present application proposes a new idea, using two different softening point zinc borosilicate glasses as cooling aids, including low softening point zinc borosilicate glass and high softening point zinc borosilicate microcrystalline glass, to overcome the problem that the LTCC material prepared by the prior art cannot simultaneously consider low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss performance.
[0028] Among them, the low softening point zinc borosilicate glass is amorphous, and due to its low glass softening point, it plays a role in reducing the sintering temperature of the composite system in the early sintering stage, and a small amount of Zn2SiO4 is generated by reacting with the ceramic phase in the later sintering stage. In addition to playing a role in reducing the sintering temperature, the high softening point zinc borosilicate microcrystalline glass mainly reacts and crystallizes in the sintering process, and the crystalline phase is Zn2SiO4. Since the crystalline phase is nucleated and grown in the glass phase, there is no obvious glass / ceramic interface between the crystalline phase and the glass phase, and the dielectric loss of the material is small. At the same time, the crystalline phase Zn2SiO4 has a high Q value, which can effectively improve the problem of high dielectric loss of the composite system due to the large amount of glass phase, and plays a role in reducing the dielectric loss of the composite system.
[0029] The application also uses ceramic fillers, and various silicates and metal oxides as auxiliary materials, wherein the ceramic filler is SiO2, which mainly plays three roles in the composite system: (1) SiO2, as a microwave dielectric ceramic material with the lowest known dielectric constant (the dielectric constant of SiO2 is 3.8), can effectively reduce the overall dielectric constant of the composite system; (2) SiO2 dissolves in the glass phase in the later sintering stage, can react with zinc borosilicate glass to generate more Zn2SiO4, thereby reducing the dielectric loss of the material; (3) SiO2 can also play a network supplementing role in the glass network, thereby preventing zinc borosilicate glass from producing pores inside due to excessive crystallization, leading to deterioration of dielectric loss. In addition, the addition of silicates and metal oxides can also be used as seeds and nucleating agents to promote the precipitation of Zn2SiO4 during sintering, thereby reducing the overall dielectric loss of the material.
[0030] Therefore, the application breaks through the simple superposition of raw material characteristics in traditional technical thinking, and through long-term observation and research, based on a large number of experiments, it is summarized that different softening point glass materials are used to obtain new crystallization phase components after mixing, thereby obtaining a composite material that can simultaneously consider low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss performance.
[0031] Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:
[0032] (1) The traditional glass / ceramic composite system has the problems of low strength and unsatisfactory dielectric loss due to high glass content, and the crystallization process of the glass-ceramic system is usually difficult to control and the material has poor acid corrosion resistance (for example, Ferro A6M material), based on the design of the above material system, the dielectric performance, mechanical properties and material plating properties of the material are considered, based on the strategy of glass / ceramic composite system + glass-ceramic system synergistic sintering, SiO2 is selected as a low dielectric filler, low softening point zinc borosilicate glass and high softening point zinc borosilicate glass-ceramic are used as cooling and dielectric loss reducing aids during sintering into porcelain, and finally a LTCC material with low dielectric constant and dielectric loss is obtained.
[0033] (2) Based on the zinc borosilicate glass system, different physical properties of zinc borosilicate glass can be obtained by flexibly adjusting the glass component content and auxiliary material composition, and under the premise of not changing the composition of the LTCC material system, the sintering characteristics of the material can be controlled by optimizing the internal components of the glass, thereby further improving the success of the silver matching co-sintering of the material.
[0034] (3) By adjusting the doping ratio of low softening point zinc borosilicate glass, high softening point zinc borosilicate glass-ceramic and ceramic fillers, a series of LTCC materials with low dielectric constant and dielectric loss can be obtained, and the sintering window of the material is wide, which is beneficial to maintaining good quality stability of the product.
[0035] (4) The present application dopes ZrO2, TiO2, Cr2O3, Fe2O3, GeO2, Nd2O3, Sm2O3, Ta2O3, MoO3, WO3, etc. as nucleating agents of the zinc borosilicate glass / zinc borosilicate glass ceramic / SiO2 composite system, on the one hand, it is conducive to promoting the crystallization of zinc borosilicate glass ceramic in the sintering process, reducing the dielectric loss of the composite system; on the other hand, in the co-firing process with silver, the crystallization process of the composite system can be controlled by the different doping amounts of nucleating agents, and then the volume shrinkage process of the material is controlled, preventing the warping defects after co-firing with silver, greatly improving the success of silver paste matching.

In summary, the LTCC materials prepared by various processes in the prior art are difficult to have both low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss.
[0110] The present application further carries out silver paste matching experiments on the LTCC material prepared in Example 1, wherein the silver powder in the selected silver paste has a solid content of 87%, and the cross-sectional SEM detection results of the silver paste matching product are shown in Figure 2 As can be seen from a and b in Figure 2 , all silver electrodes are well matched with the substrate, and no silver shrinkage, silver running and other defects are generated. As can be seen from Figure 2As can be seen from the middle C, the LTCC material substrate after sintering is sintered to be dense, and white grains are precipitated, and it can be known from the XRD pattern that the grains are Zn2SiO4, which can effectively reduce the dielectric loss of the material. Therefore, according to the above experimental data, the low-softening-point zinc-boron-silicon glass as a cooling aid and the high-softening-point zinc-boron-silicon glass as a loss reduction aid are used, and after sintering with SiO2, the LTCC material with low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss can be prepared, and the material has a suitable sintering window, which is helpful to widen the regulation interval in the later silver paste matching.

For those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of equivalent substitutions or obvious variations can be made, and the performance or use is the same, which should be regarded as belonging to the protection scope of the present application.
