Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microelectronic packaging application technology, specifically a tooling for welding ceramic and Kovar frames. Background Technology

[0002] Silver-copper solder, Kovar frame, and ceramic body welding technology are commonly used in the packaging and assembly of electronic devices, especially in applications requiring high reliability and good conductivity. Combining the advantages of silver and copper, it offers excellent corrosion resistance, conductivity, and mechanical strength. Because its melting point is lower than pure silver while still ensuring high connection quality, it is particularly suitable for welding temperature-sensitive components. However, during storage, a thin oxide layer forms on the metal surface, affecting the bonding strength between materials during welding. Pre-welding heating can effectively remove these oxides, thereby improving the quality of the solder joint. It also helps the silver-copper solder better wet the surface to be welded, allowing the molten solder to be more evenly distributed across the entire joint surface, resulting in a stronger and smoother connection. Therefore, it is necessary to first pre-weld the silver-copper solder to the Kovar frame (hereinafter referred to as the pre-welded part), and then finally weld the entire pre-welded part to the ceramic body. Normally, two sets of tooling are required for pre-welding and final welding. To address the above issues, this application designs a tooling for welding ceramics and Kovar frames.

Second-stage countersunk grooves are formed on the first-stage countersunk grooves. The bottom of the pressure plate cover has multiple bosses that fit the first-stage countersunk grooves. The bottom of the brazing base has two countersunk holes symmetrically formed on both sides, and through holes are formed on the countersunk holes. The through holes penetrate the brazing base vertically. The pressure plate cover has another through hole on each side corresponding to the through hole. The ceramic body is placed in and fitted with the first-stage countersunk groove, and the silver-copper solder and Kovar frame are placed in and fitted with the second-stage countersunk groove.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-6 A tooling for welding ceramics and Kovar frames 4 includes a pressure plate cover 1, a brazing base 2, a silver-copper solder 3, a Kovar frame 4, and a ceramic body 5. The pressure plate cover 1 is located at the top of the brazing base 2. The top of the brazing base 2 has multiple first-stage countersunk grooves 6 and second-stage countersunk grooves 7. The bottom of the pressure plate cover 1 has multiple bosses 8 that fit the first-stage countersunk grooves 6. The bottom of the brazing base 2 has two countersunk holes 9 symmetrically located on both sides. The countersunk holes 9 have through holes 10 that penetrate the brazing base 2 vertically. The pressure plate cover 1 has another through hole 10 on each side corresponding to the through holes 10. The ceramic body 5 is placed in and fits into the first-stage countersunk grooves 6. The silver-copper solder 3 and the Kovar frame 4 are placed in and fit into the second-stage countersunk grooves 7.

[0024] The dimensions of the pressure plate cover 1 are 150mm*90mm*8mm, the dimensions of the brazed base 2 are 150mm*90mm*10mm, the dimensions of the first-stage sink 6 are 10.8mm*10.8mm*2.3mm, and the dimensions of the second-stage sink 7 are 10.58mm*10.58mm*0.5mm.

[0025] When welding the silver-copper solder 3 to the Kovar frame 4, first place the silver-copper solder 3 into the second-stage sink 7 of the brazing base 2, then place the Kovar frame 4 into the second-stage sink 7 of the brazing base 2 in the same way, and then fit the pressure plate cover 1 with the brazing base 2. At this time, the protrusion 8 of the pressure plate cover 1 can perfectly press the Kovar frame 4 and the silver-copper solder 3, and then pre-welding and sintering can be carried out.

[0026] When the silver-copper solder 3 and Kovar frame 4 are welded together and then welded to the ceramic body 5, after the pre-welding, the side of the pre-welded part with the Kovar frame 4 should face the brazing base 2 and be placed in its second-stage sink 7. Then, the ceramic body 5 should be placed in the first-stage sink 6 of the brazing base 2. Then, the pressure plate cover 1 should be fitted with the brazing base 2. At this time, the protrusion 8 of the pressure plate cover 1 can perfectly press the ceramic body 5 and the pre-welded part together, and the ceramic body 5 can perfectly fit the side of the pre-welded part with the silver-copper solder 3. Then, the final welding and sintering can be carried out.

[0027] In actual use, it was found that in order to avoid the right angle of the ceramic body 5 and prevent damage, the radius of the first avoidance circular groove 11 is set to 1.0mm. In this embodiment, the first avoidance circular groove 11 is provided at the four corners of the first-stage sink 6.

[0028] In actual use, it was found that in order to avoid the right angle between the Kovar frame 4 and the silver-copper solder 3 and prevent collisions, a second avoidance circular groove 12 with a radius of 0.5mm was set. The second avoidance circular groove 12 was opened at the four corners of the second-stage sink 7.

[0029] In actual use, it was found that in order to facilitate the unloading of the welded object, in this embodiment, an auxiliary unloading hole 13 is provided at the middle position on the second-stage sink 7.

[0030] In actual use, it was found that in order to improve production efficiency and perform multiple welding simultaneously, in this embodiment, the first-stage sink 6 and the boss 8 are each provided with 60 units and are evenly distributed.

[0031] In practical use, it was found that both the brazing base 2 and the pressure plate cover 1 are made of high-density graphite, which has extremely high heat resistance, excellent thermal conductivity, and a low coefficient of thermal expansion. During the pre-welding of the silver-copper solder 3 to the Kovar frame 4 and the welding of the pre-welded parts to the ceramic body 5, the excellent thermal conductivity allows the solder to be heated evenly, so that the silver-copper solder 3, the Kovar metal fittings, and the metallized ceramic body 5 are sintered evenly and tightly. In addition, its low coefficient of expansion can ensure a stable amount of deformation at higher brazing temperatures, thereby ensuring that the silver-copper solder 3 is evenly distributed on the Kovar metal fittings, thus ensuring the reliability and stability of the entire product welding. In this embodiment, both the pressure plate cover 1 and the brazing base 2 are made of graphite plate.
