- the Kirkendall effect is that at sufficiently high temperature for two adjacent solid phases, the volume of one phase decreases as the volume of the other phase increases. The effect becomes particularly visible if the phase boundary was previously marked, because then one Displacement of the label observed relative to an outer sample geometry. The phase boundary does not migrate itself, but it moves matter between the phases and thus the position of the phase boundary relative to the outer sample geometry.
- the metal-containing sintering paste can be lead-containing or lead-free, depending on the requirements placed on the sintering paste.
- a sensor is also proposed, in particular a fuel level sensor, with a printed circuit board of the type described above.
- a printed circuit board is proposed in particular for use in a so-called magnetic, passive position sensor, also called MAPPS (MAgnetic Passive Position Sensor) ,
- MAPPS MAgnetic Passive Position Sensor
- a method for manufacturing a printed circuit board of the type described above is proposed in which at least one hole of a sintered ceramic substrate of the printed circuit board is metallized in order to achieve a through-connection of the ceramic substrate.
- the ceramic substrate may be an alumina ceramic.
- the hole of the ceramic substrate is filled with the application of a pressing pressure with a metal-containing sintering paste, wherein The sintering paste is then dried and fired, sintering out during firing.
- the sintering takes place under the influence of temperature at about 850 ° C, for example in an oven and / or by means of other heat sources.
- the sintering paste enters into at least one cohesive connection with the ceramic substrate, thereby completely filling the hole.
- a supernatant of material or a material plug is formed, which engages behind the respective ceramic substrate side or the respective hole edge, a positive connection between the ceramic substrate and the sintering paste.
- a graft can represent a material supernatant of sintering paste relative to the respective substrate side of about 2 to 5 ⁇ .
- a pressing pressure of preferably 2 to 4 bar is applied by means of a movable component in order to press the sintering paste.
- a moving component in the context of this application is a piston to understand that forms a closed space with a surrounding housing, which is filled with the sintering paste to be pressed.
- the piston may have an elongated extension, for example in the form of a sword, in order to be able to fill a plurality of holes arranged in a row relative to one another at the same time.
- the pressing pressure is 3 bar.
- Such a pressure must be applied at substrate thicknesses from about 0.25 mm to ensure filling of the hole of the sintered ceramic substrate.
- the aforementioned compression pressure range is suitable for processing substrate thicknesses of approx. 0, 25mm to 5mm.
- the preferred range of substrate thicknesses is 0.5mm to 0.7mm.
- advantageously at least two such holes with the same and / or un ⁇ ter Kunststoff diameters can be filled simultaneously with the sintering Fit or filled, in order to ensure process optimization.
- a plurality of such ceramic substrates can be produced simultaneously with such metallizing holes.
- the ceramic substrate can be fixed on a support by means of a negative pressure by the ceramic substrate is sucked in via at least one formed in the carrier intake duct against the carrier after it correspondingly ⁇ directed previously has been or has been positioned with the aid of at least one stop.
- the at least one hole of Kera ⁇ miksubstrates is filled using a template. This will prevent contamination on one side of the substrate.
- a compliant layer can be used, the Kera ⁇ miksubstrat between and is disposed the support.
- a paper layer is used for this purpose.
- the ceramic substrate can be enclosed by a reinforcing frame, which protects the substrate from damage due to the application of pressing pressure when filling the holes with the sintering paste.
- printed conductors of different widths and thicknesses can be applied by screen printing or stencil printing on a substrate through-plated in this way.
- Fig. 1 illustrates a substrate 2 as part of a circuit board 1.
- the substrate 2 made of a sintered ceramic, e.g. an aluminum oxide ceramic, has a hole 3 and is on a first side with a first electrically conductive layer 4 or thick film 4 and on a second side, which is opposite to the first side, with a second electrically conductive layer 5 or Thick layer 5 printed.
- the hole 3 is formed conical due to production.

- the sintering paste 7 can be lead-containing or lead-free.
- the area X 'required for metallization for metallization around the hole 3 is smaller in comparison with the area X shown in Fig. 1. Consequently, the proposed type of metallization also leads to a saving of space.
- the region X can be about 600 to 900 ⁇ and the range X 'about 300 ⁇ and less. As a result, the area X 'is at most half as large as the area X.
- the substrates shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 each have a thickness of about 0.63 mm. Furthermore, the holes 3 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 each have a conical shape. Such a cone shape is produced due to the drilling of the hole means of a laser.
- the upper hole diameter can be about 0.1 to 0.3mm.
- the substrate matrix 20 may comprise a total of 16 substrates 2, such as in a 2x8 array, i. in an arrangement with two rows and in each case 8 substrates 2.
- the pressing-pressure-filling device 10 thereby enables at least one simultaneous filling of the holes 3 of the substrate matrix 20 arranged in a row with the said sintering paste 7. This row of holes extends in the vertical direction to FIG. 3 or FIG to the picture plane.
- the substrate matrix 20 can be seen, which is arranged on a support 25.
- the substrate matrix 20 is preferably enclosed by a reinforcing frame 22 and positioned relative to the carrier 25 such that the holes 3 of the individual substrates 2 are aligned with channels 26 of the carrier 25 arranged at right angles to one another.
- the positionally precise direction of the substrate matrix 20 can be ensured, for example, via at least one corresponding stop, which is formed approximately on the carrier 25 and is not shown, against which the reinforcing frame 22 can abut, for example.
- the carrier 25 further includes vertically extending intake passages 28, via which the substrate matrix 20 is sucked by means of a negative pressure against the carrier 25 and thus fixed.
- a yieldable layer 24 preferably in the
- the thickness of the template is about 0.1mm.
- a squeegee 14 is indicated, by means of which the said row of holes of the substrate matrix 20 is filled with the sintering paste 7.
- This squeegee 14 comprises a collection chamber 16 and a smaller chamber 17 adjacent thereto, which can cover the said row of holes of the substrate matrix 20.
- the filling of the substrate matrix 20 proceeds as follows: By means of an elongated piston in the shape of a sword 12 which is movable in the collecting chamber 16, the sintering paste 7 located in the chamber 16 in the vertical direction Y via the chamber 17 and pressed the template 18 in the holes 3 of the row of holes. In this case, a pressing pressure of about 2 to 4 bar is applied. In this example, a pressing pressure of about 3 bar is applied.
- the sintering paste 7 is metered into the holes 3 filled so that form on the underside of the substrate matrix 20 only very small protrusions of material or material drops that extend into the channel 26 and thereby the paper layer 24 bulge locally without them tear or damage.
- the individual plugs form a material supernatant with respect to the underside of the substrate matrix 20 of about 2 to 5 ⁇ .
- the squeegee 14 moves from hole row to row of holes in the horizontal direction X to fill the individual rows of holes successively with the sintering paste 7.
- Both the template 18, over which the squeegee 14 along sweeps, as well as the paper layer 24 serve to prevent smearing of the substrate matrix 20.
- a slight material overhang also forms with respect to the upper side of the substrate matrix 20, so that the fillings of the individual holes 3 substantially have the formation of a rivet.
- the substrate matrix 20 passes through a sintering furnace.
