If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the use of "and / or" or "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions. For example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.
[0017] The technical problem solved by this application is that in the packaging field, there is often a combination of components and devices of different materials, such as chips, solder balls, PCB boards, ceramic boards, plastic components, and metal components. Heterogeneous packaging involves large differences in the CTE of different materials, which leads to an uneven ability of the entire packaging system to resist changes in ambient temperature or operating temperature during use, causing thermal mismatch and resulting in defects such as cracking failure, deformation, short circuit, and desoldering.
[0018] The raw materials used in the multilayer ceramic substrates in related technologies tend to be those corresponding to the LTCC system, which have low sintering temperatures and relatively low flexural strength. Another related technology mainly involves single-type CTE ceramics, which are simple to prepare, but suffer from a large difference in CTE compared to other devices or components, inevitably leading to thermal mismatch issues.
[0019] To address the aforementioned technical issues, this application designs multiple gradient-adjustable non-glass system multilayer co-fired ceramic substrate formulations.
[0020] This application proposes a green ceramic sheet comprising 5wt% to 25wt% yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide; the weight ratio of yttrium oxide to zirconium oxide used to prepare the yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide is 1:1 to 5.
[0021] It should be noted that this invention buffers the thermal mismatch problem between heterogeneous materials by constructing a multilayer ceramic substrate with a gradient coefficient of thermal expansion. Specifically, the green ceramic sheet achieves synergistic control of the material's CTE, mechanical strength, and thermal conductivity by controlling the content of yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide to 5wt%~25wt% and adjusting the weight ratio of yttrium oxide to zirconium oxide in the yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide.
[0022] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the raw material for the green ceramic tile also includes 65wt% to 85wt% alumina and / or aluminum nitride.
[0023] Specifically, yttrium-stabilized zirconia has a high CTE value, while alumina and aluminum nitride have relatively low CTEs. By adjusting the proportions of these components in each layer of green ceramic sheet in the ceramic substrate, a continuous gradient change in CTE can be achieved for each layer. This allows for the gradual absorption and dispersion of thermal stress between different packaging components during temperature changes, effectively suppressing failures such as cracking, deformation, and desoldering caused by CTE differences. Furthermore, the green ceramic sheet system of this invention uses yttrium-doped yttrium-stabilized zirconia. The higher yttrium content helps to obtain a more stable cubic phase structure, which is then combined with the highly thermally conductive aluminum nitride phase and the high-strength alumina phase. This enhances the overall mechanical strength and thermal conductivity, while also improving the substrate's thermal shock resistance and environmental adaptability.
[0024] In one embodiment, the raw materials for the green ceramic sheet include: yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide: 5wt%~25wt%; alumina: 65wt%~85wt%; and calcium oxide: 5wt%.
[0025] It is understood that this embodiment uses alumina as the main component, and incorporates 5wt%~25wt% yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide and 5wt% calcium oxide to form a composite ceramic system. Alumina provides the foundation for high strength, good insulation, and a moderate coefficient of thermal expansion; yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide has a high CTE, approximately (10~11)×10⁻⁶. -6 / K, by changing its content, can continuously improve the overall CTE value of the composite layer within a certain range; at the same time, the phase stability characteristics of yttrium-stabilized zirconia itself are beneficial to enhancing the toughness and thermal shock resistance of the material. Calcium oxide mainly acts as a sintering aid. It can form a eutectic phase with alumina and other materials, significantly reducing the sintering temperature of the system, improving the densification process, and enabling green ceramic sheets to achieve high strength while maintaining a feasible process window.
[0026] In another embodiment, the raw materials for the green ceramic sheet include: yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide: 5wt%~25wt%; aluminum nitride: 20wt%~85wt%; alumina: 0wt%~45wt%; and calcium oxide: 5wt%.
[0027] Specifically, aluminum nitride has high thermal conductivity but a low CTE value, only about 4.5 × 10⁻⁶. -6 / K; The high CTE of yttrium-stabilized zirconia can effectively neutralize the low CTE value of aluminum nitride introduced in large quantities; In this embodiment, by precisely setting the proportion of each powder in this embodiment, the thermal conductivity and CTE value of the single-layer green ceramic sheet are finely adjusted to achieve performance customization. Based on this, a gradient structure is obtained by stacking design, which achieves dual optimization: first, thermodynamic matching, the gradient CTE effectively buffers and eliminates thermal stress between heterogeneous materials; second, thermal management optimization, the high thermal conductivity path ensures that heat can be efficiently exported and dissipated from the chip, making it particularly suitable for application scenarios with extreme requirements for heat dissipation and reliability, such as next-generation high-power devices IGBT, GaN, high-performance computing chips, aerospace electronic systems, etc.
[0028] In one embodiment, the method for preparing yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide includes the following steps: P1. Prepare the zirconium oxide and alumina powders according to the specified ratio, mix them and wet grind them. The solvent can be anhydrous ethanol, deionized water, or ultrapure water. Then dry, pulverize and sieve. P2. The powder processed in step P1 is sintered, then crushed, ground, and sieved to complete the preparation of yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide.
[0029] Specifically, in step P1, during the wet grinding process, the ball-to-liquid ratio is (1~5):1:(0.6~2), and the wet grinding time is 6h~48h; wherein, the solvent can be anhydrous ethanol or deionized water or ultrapure water; the wet grinding equipment can be one or more of a drum ball mill, a frame ball mill or a planetary ball mill.
[0030] Specifically, in step P2, the drying temperature is 85℃~150℃, and the drying time is 21h~48h.
[0031] Specifically, in step P2, the sintering temperature is 750℃~1800℃, and the sintering time is 4h~16h. The sintering atmosphere can be air, nitrogen, hydrogen, or a nitrogen-hydrogen mixture.
[0032] Specifically, in step P2, the sample is crushed or dry-ground until it passes through a 40-325 mesh sieve and is mixed evenly.
[0033] The present invention also proposes a ceramic substrate, including the green ceramic sheet; the ceramic substrate includes multiple layers of the green ceramic sheet stacked sequentially, and the content of yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide in the green ceramic sheet exhibits a gradient change along a direction perpendicular to the ceramic substrate.
[0034] It is understood that this invention constructs a multilayer ceramic substrate with a vertically oriented coefficient of thermal expansion gradient. By controlling the content of yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide in each green ceramic sheet as a key variable to adjust the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), the CTE of each layer exhibits a continuous or regular stepwise change along the direction perpendicular to the substrate plane. Furthermore, the ceramic substrate of this invention, while achieving stress gradient distribution, can simultaneously optimize the thermal conductivity and mechanical strength of individual green ceramic sheets and the entire ceramic substrate, achieving a synergistic improvement in thermal management performance and reliability.
[0035] In one specific embodiment, as the content of the yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide in the green ceramic sheet increases, the amount of yttrium oxide used to prepare the yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide decreases.
[0036] It should be noted that yttrium-stabilized zirconia primarily functions as a coefficient of thermal expansion modifier and a phase-stabilizing reinforcing phase in green ceramic sheets. When it is necessary to increase the overall CTE value of a certain layer of green ceramic sheet, the amount of yttrium-stabilized zirconia added to the raw materials of the green ceramic sheet is increased. In green ceramic sheets with increased yttrium-stabilized zirconia addition, choosing yttrium-stabilized zirconia with a lower yttrium oxide doping ratio ensures that the yttrium-stabilized zirconia still has a high CTE value, sufficient to effectively improve the overall CTE value of the green ceramic sheet. Furthermore, it offers lower raw material costs. Yttrium oxide is significantly more expensive than zirconia; by using a low yttrium ratio in high YSZ content layers while meeting performance requirements, the total consumption of the expensive yttrium oxide can be significantly reduced, thereby controlling the overall material cost.
[0037] In one embodiment, the thickness of the ceramic substrate does not exceed 2 mm; in the ceramic substrate, the thickness of each layer of the green ceramic sheet is 0.1 mm to 0.4 mm.
[0038] In one specific embodiment, the coefficients of thermal expansion of adjacent green ceramic sheets forming the same ceramic substrate exhibit a gradient along a direction perpendicular to the ceramic substrate, and the difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion of adjacent green ceramic sheets does not exceed 5 ppm / ℃.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the coefficients of thermal expansion of adjacent green ceramic sheets forming the same ceramic substrate exhibit a gradient along a direction perpendicular to the ceramic substrate, and the difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion of adjacent green ceramic sheets does not exceed 1.5 ppm / ℃.
[0040] In a more preferred embodiment, the coefficients of thermal expansion of adjacent green ceramic sheets forming the same ceramic substrate exhibit a gradient along a direction perpendicular to the ceramic substrate, and the difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion of adjacent green ceramic sheets does not exceed 1.4 ppm / ℃.

The first green ceramic layer includes 10 wt% yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide, 85 wt% alumina, and 5 wt% calcium oxide, wherein the yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide comprises yttrium oxide and zirconium oxide in a weight ratio of 1:1. The second green ceramic layer includes 15 wt% yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide, 80 wt% alumina, and 5 wt% calcium oxide, wherein the yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide comprises yttrium oxide and zirconium oxide in a weight ratio of 1:2. The third green ceramic layer includes 20 wt% yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide, 80 wt% alumina, and 5 wt% calcium oxide, wherein the yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide comprises yttrium oxide and zirconium oxide in a weight ratio of 1:2. The first layer comprises yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide (YTO), 75 wt% alumina, and 5 wt% calcium oxide, wherein the YTO-stabilized zirconium oxide comprises yttrium oxide and zirconium oxide in a weight ratio of 1:3; the second layer comprises 25 wt% YTO-stabilized zirconium oxide (YTO), 70 wt% alumina, and 5 wt% calcium oxide, wherein the YTO-stabilized zirconium oxide comprises yttrium oxide and zirconium oxide in a weight ratio of 1:4; the third layer comprises 30 wt% YTO-stabilized zirconium oxide (YTO), 65 wt% alumina, and 5 wt% calcium oxide, wherein the YTO-stabilized zirconium oxide comprises yttrium oxide and zirconium oxide in a weight ratio of 1:5.
[0043] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the ceramic substrate increases from the first green ceramic layer to the fifth green ceramic layer, rising from 5.4 ppm / ℃ to 10.8 ppm / ℃, and the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between adjacent green ceramic sheets does not exceed 1.4 ppm / ℃. This effectively solves the problem of CTE mismatch between heterogeneous materials within the system-in-package. The bending strength of the third green ceramic layer reaches 750 MPa, while the bending strength decreases from the second to the third green ceramic layer.
[0044] In another specific embodiment, the green ceramic sheet comprises the following raw materials: yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxide: 5wt%~25wt%; aluminum nitride: 20wt%~85wt%; alumina: 0wt%~45wt%; calcium oxide: 5wt%.
