Device and method for synthesizing nano nitride powder by thermal plasma
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of thermal plasma application, and particularly relates to a device and a method for synthesizing nano nitride powder by thermal plasma.
Background
With the increasing development of high output of semiconductors, higher demands are being made on circuit boards for mounting semiconductors, and heat generated by dense circuits requires a board material having good heat conductivity, and at the same time, the substrate performance is also being required by the recent generation of semiconductor chips. The nitride ceramic material has excellent heat conducting performance, such as the theoretical value of the heat conductivity of the aluminum nitride is about 320W/m.K, and the nitride ceramic material is regarded as a new generation of electronic packaging material, is particularly suitable for packaging microwave vacuum tubes and hybrid power switches, and is an ideal substrate material for large-scale integrated circuit substrates. The nitride powder is the premise and key of excellent performance of the ceramic product, for example, the fine powder of AlN powder in the sintering process can enhance the sintering activity and the sintering driving force and accelerate the sintering process.
Research shows that when the particle size of AlN powder is 20 times fine, the sintering rate can be increased by 147 times, and for preventing secondary recrystallization, the particle size is also required to be fine and uniform, and if the particles are too large or unevenly distributed, abnormal growth or growth of crystal grains is easy to occur, so that dense sintering and the like are avoided, and therefore, the excellent performance of the nitride ceramic product (such as a high-power LED packaging heat dissipation substrate, a thin film printed circuit for an IGBT power module and the like) has a direct relation with the performance of the raw material powder.
At present, the preparation methods of high-performance nitride powder, such as carbothermic method, self-propagating high-temperature synthesis method, chemical vapor deposition method, sol-gel method and the like, have respective defects, and have the defects of high cost, uneven particle size and the like. Although the carbothermic method is easy to form and sinter, the synthesized powder needs secondary decarburization, the cost is high, the reaction speed of the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis and the sol-gel method is high, the cost is low, the particle size of the powder is difficult to control in the reaction process, the process of the chemical vapor deposition method is controllable, but the use of alkyl substances is expensive, and the industrial batch production is not facilitated.
Therefore, it is desired to develop a method for preparing synthetic high-performance nitride powder, which can effectively overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art.
