Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of chip packaging, in particular to a ceramic tube shell structure for optical communication. Background Art
[0002] Optical communication ceramic tube shells play an indispensable role in the field of optical communication due to their excellent physical and chemical properties, providing a solid guarantee for the stable operation of optical communication equipment. Compared with plastic package tube shells and glass package tube shells, optical communication ceramic tube shells have excellent packaging density and electrical and thermal properties, and are suitable for applications in high-speed AD / DA, DDS and other circuits. Existing optical communication ceramic tube shells are generally made of Figure 1 The structure shown consists of a wall, light window, light window bracket, ceramic block, and base plate. Some ceramic tubes and cases also have leads welded to the ceramic block. During the production process, the ceramic is typically welded between the wall and base plate. However, this structure requires the ceramic shell to be perfectly aligned with the wall cavity height, otherwise there is a risk of air leakage and weld seams. Therefore, this traditional structure requires a high tolerance for the wall cavity height and a high height requirement for the ceramic after sintering. This results in low product yield and a sharp increase in processing costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a ceramic tube shell structure for optical communication to solve the above technical problems.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0005] A ceramic tube shell structure for optical communication includes a wall, a ceramic body and a bottom plate. The wall has a gap, a light window bracket, and a light window. The ceramic body enters the gap and extends outward relative to the bottom of the wall. The outward extending portion is used to connect to the bottom plate.
[0006] Furthermore, the wall, the ceramic body and the bottom plate are assembled by welding.
[0007] Furthermore, the wall has a first metallized area, a second metallized area, and a third metallized area, the notch has a first welding area and a second welding area, and the bottom plate has a third welding area;
[0008] The first metallized region is welded to the first welding region, the second metallized region is welded to the second welding region, and the third metallized region is welded to the third welding region.
[0009] Furthermore, the first metallized region, the second metallized region and the third metallized region are nickel-plated on the surface of tungsten slurry, and the thickness of the nickel layer is 0.1-7 μm.
[0010] Furthermore, the bottom plate is welded to the bottom of the wall, wherein the bottom plate is pre-plated with nickel by chemical plating or electroplating before brazing, and the thickness of the nickel layer is 0.05 to 5 μm.
[0011] Furthermore, the welding surface of the bottom plate and the wall is provided with a silver-copper welding piece, which connects the bottom plate and the wall under pressure in a brazing furnace, and the temperature of the brazing furnace is controlled at 750-850°C.
[0012] Furthermore, the material of the base plate is tungsten copper alloy, preferably W30Cu70, and the material of the wall is Kovar metal, which is preferably 4J29 material. It should be noted that if the heat dissipation performance of the base plate is not required to be high, the same Kovar alloy or stainless steel material as the wall can also be used.
[0013] Furthermore, after the wall and the base plate are welded, a clamp is used to assemble and fix the ceramic body to the wall and base plate assembly. Subsequently, a silver-copper solder sheet with a thickness of 0.05 to 0.5 mm is placed between the first metallized area and the first welding area. The second metallized area and the second welding area are welded together based on the solder flowing during welding between the first metallized area and the first welding area. Of course, a clamp can also be used to add welding wire on the sides of the second metallized area and the second welding area to supplement the solder.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0015] The optical communication ceramic tube shell proposed by the utility model avoids the limitation of ceramic height caused by the wall welding surface and the bottom plate welding surface in the traditional structure by welding the first metallized area to the first welding area, the second metallized area to the second welding area, the third metallized area to the third welding area, and the bottom plate to the bottom of the wall, thereby solving the problem of low yield caused by inconsistent ceramic height due to different shrinkage rates of different batches of ceramics, and has a positive promotion effect.
