Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of functional ceramics, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a silicon nitride ceramic substrate containing titanium nitride. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of the integrated circuit industry, power electronic device technology is developing towards high voltage, large current, high power density and small size. Therefore, an efficient heat dissipation system is an essential part of high integration. Therefore, the substrate material needs not only high thermal conductivity but also good mechanical reliability. At present, the most commonly used in the market are AlN and Al2O3 ceramic substrates, but the mechanical properties of the AlN ceramic substrate are poor, and the thermal conductivity of the Al2O3 ceramic substrate is low, which limits the use of the two as structural substrate materials. Therefore, it is urgent to find a high-thermal-conductivity substrate material with good mechanical properties.

[0003] Si3N4 ceramic has the characteristics of high strength, high hardness, high resistivity, good thermal shock resistance, low dielectric loss and low expansion coefficient, and is an ideal substrate material. However, the brittleness of silicon nitride ceramic seriously affects the wide use of silicon nitride ceramic. Therefore, how to change the toughness of silicon nitride ceramic is one of the focuses of current research. At the same time, the silicon nitride ceramic is mainly covered with copper through the AMB process, and the solder used in the printing process is prone to unevenness, and gas is easily released during the later soldering process, forming cavities and reducing the peel strength.

[0004] In the Chinese patent application with the patent number CN117820004A, a silicon nitride-based composite ceramic substrate and a preparation method thereof are disclosed. The silicon nitride-based composite ceramic substrate is composed of the following raw materials: 95-110 parts of silicon nitride, 4-8 parts of boron nitride whiskers, 7-14 parts of potassium hexatitanate whiskers, 22-38 parts of a sintering aid, 14-20 parts of a plasticizer, 6-15 parts of a dispersant, 16-25 parts of a binder, and 85-115 parts of an organic solvent. The application adds titanium carbonitride and zirconium tungstate to the silicon nitride-based substrate material, which not only improves the mechanical properties such as bending strength and fracture toughness of the silicon nitride-based ceramic substrate, but also further improves the bonding strength of the silicon nitride-based ceramic substrate to metals such as titanium, nickel and aluminum, and improves the overall reliability of the ceramic substrate. The application emphasizes the improvement of the bonding strength with metals. However, the present application emphasizes the fracture toughness and thermal conductivity of the substrate itself. The method used is the same as the conventional method, which adopts flow casting and sintering process. Only by adding other substances to improve the performance of the substrate. The application does not go through the degassing process, and carbon impurities and other residues may be left in the substrate, affecting the purity and performance of the substrate.

[0005] Based on the above, a silicon nitride composite ceramic substrate containing titanium nitride and boron nitride nanotubes is proposed, which can effectively solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0006] The application aims to provide a preparation method of a silicon nitride ceramic substrate containing titanium nitride, which solves the problems of large brittleness and poor fracture toughness of the silicon nitride ceramic substrate during use, uneven distribution of brazing filler metal during copper cladding, and complicated process.

[0019] In step 12, the second ball milling is performed at a speed of 200-350 r / min for 24 h; the plasticizer is one of polyethylene glycol, dibutyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate, and glycerol; the binder is one of poly(methyl acrylate), polyvinyl butyral, and polymethyl methacrylate; and the mass ratio of the plasticizer to the binder is 0.6-1.2.

[0020] The method for preparing the silicon nitride ceramic substrate containing titanium nitride further comprises, after step 1, placing the ball-milled silicon nitride slurry doped with boron nitride nanotubes in a vacuum defoaming machine for defoaming treatment.

[0021] In step 3, the titanium nitride powder, the dispersant, and the binder are dispersed in anhydrous ethanol solvent, stirred uniformly, and coated on the surface of the silicon nitride ceramic substrate green body in a layer of titanium nitride by a flow casting process; the thickness of the titanium nitride coating is 1-100 um after drying; the dispersant is polyethylene glycol; and the binder is one of poly(methyl acrylate), polyvinyl butyral, and polymethyl methacrylate.

[0023] In step 4, the high-temperature sintering process is divided into the following stages:

[0024] (61) from room temperature to 1200-1500 ℃ at a rate of 10 ℃ / min;

[0025] (62) when heated to 1200-1500 ℃, constant temperature for 2-13 h, pressure 0.1-1 MPa;

Meanwhile, the titanium nitride is uniformly mixed with dispersants and binders in a solvent, and a layer of titanium nitride film is coated on the surface of the green body through secondary flow casting. Finally, a boron nitride toughened silicon nitride composite ceramic substrate containing titanium nitride on the surface is prepared through processes such as degassing and sintering, and then a silver foil is attached to the surface of the substrate, and a copper sheet is attached to the surface of the silver foil, and vacuum brazing is performed in a vacuum furnace, so that a silicon nitride copper-clad plate is finally obtained. The application solves the problem of large brittleness of the traditional silicon nitride ceramic substrate, greatly improves the toughness, and directly removes the solder paste in the subsequent copper cladding process due to the titanium nitride layer on the surface, thereby solving the problem of product defects caused by the solder paste. Compared with the prior art, the application has the following technical advantages:

In the application, a layer of titanium nitride is directly coated on the surface of the ceramic green body, and the organic matter used can be removed during the degassing and sintering of the substrate, thereby reducing the generation of gas during the subsequent brazing process, and increasing the bonding strength between the copper and the ceramic substrate.

[0033] (2) Simplify the process steps, reduce the operation difficulty, and improve the product yield. In the brazing process, solder paste printing is not required, and the silver foil can be directly attached to the surface of the ceramic substrate, and then the copper sheet is attached to the surface of the silver foil for vacuum brazing.

[0034] (3) The titanium nitride can better diffuse into the pores of the silicon nitride together with the silicon nitride during sintering, thereby improving the uniformity of the titanium nitride distribution and enhancing the bonding force with the ceramic.

[0035] (4) effectively improve the problem of large brittleness of silicon nitride ceramic substrate, boron nitride nanotubes in silicon nitride ceramic substrate mainly play a toughening effect, when the crack propagation encounters the block of boron nitride nanotubes, deflection and pullout may occur. These phenomena will consume most of the energy of crack propagation, thereby improving the toughness of silicon nitride ceramic substrate.

[0036] (5) boron nitride nanotubes have strong oxidation resistance, and the boron nitride nanotubes toughened silicon nitride ceramic substrate has high reliability, which is more conducive to industrialized mass production. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
