Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain easily a sintered silicon nitride body of high quality by reacting a silicon compound with a hydrogen compound of nitrogen in a plasma atmosphere, press-molding the resulting fine-grained powder, and sintering it. CONSTITUTION:Silicon hydride, silicon halide or a mixture thereof is reacted with a hydrogen compound of nitrogen in a plasma atmosphere to form fine- grained powder as a precursor for a sintered silicon nitride body. Each particle of the powder contains hydrogen, and nitrogen and silicon are contained as a whole in a nonstoichiometric ratio represented by Si3N(4-x) (x>0). The precursor is press-molded and sintered in a nitrogen atmosphere. Hyperfine-grained silicon nitride powder having about 100-5,000Angstrom grain size is formed by reacting the silicon compound with the hydrogen compound of nitrogen in the plasma atmosphere.

However, when using silica powder, for example, it is not easy to make fine silica particles, and it is extremely difficult to completely nitride the inside of the particles, so silicon may not be present in the sintered body. Therefore, the strength of the resulting silicon nitride sintered body is not very high, and both methods also have drawbacks such as requiring an extremely long heating time. .

On the other hand, in the high-temperature sintering method in which fine silicon nitride powder is synthesized and sintered, silicon nitride is a substance with strong covalent bonds, so the sinterability is very poor, and hot pressing at high temperatures is difficult. Due to the dissociation of Si3N4 it is difficult and it is necessary to add a suitable binder.

According to the present invention, when a silicon compound and a hydrogen compound of nitrogen are reacted in a plasma atmosphere, the particle size is about 100 to 5000.
A ultrafine silicon nitride powder is produced. In this case, by adjusting reaction conditions such as raw material gas composition, reaction pressure, and input plasma discharge power, hydrogen can be contained in the silicon nitride powder, and the composition ratio of nitrogen and silicon can also be adjusted.
Non-stoichiometric (Si3N (4-x), x>O

In this way, silicon nitride powder that contains hydrogen and is somewhat deficient in nitrogen can easily be formed into a completely nitrided silicon nitride sintered body by press-molding it and firing it at high temperature in a substantially nitrogen atmosphere. Since it can be obtained, it can be said to be a precursor of silicon nitride sintered bodies.

This is because when the precursor is pressure-molded and calcined at high temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere, bound or unbound hydrogen in the precursor is released, or unreacted hydrogen is released due to cleavage of the 5i-St bond. At the same time that bonds are formed, nitridation progresses as the formed dangling bonds combine with nitrogen in the atmosphere, and at the same time, rearrangement and rearrangement of atoms in the crystal occur, resulting in cross-linking between particles. It is thought that this progresses, resulting in complete nitriding and sintering.

These results show that before and after heating the precursor to 350 to 900°C, a weight loss after heating was observed as a result of measurement using a thermobalance (Differential Thermal Microbalance PGD-5000, Vacuum Science and Technology Department). This was also confirmed because an increase in weight was observed after heating at 1200° C. or higher in a nitrogen atmosphere.

Since the powder produced according to the present invention is produced by a gas phase reaction in a plasma atmosphere, the particle size of the particles is 100.
In addition to being ultrafine particles of ~5000A, they are almost spherical in shape and have uniform particle size distribution and composition distribution, which are characteristics of general reactions in a plasma atmosphere. It has the characteristic that the energy density of can be suppressed to a low level, and therefore it is possible to avoid contamination of adsorbed impurities in the reaction chamber. All of these characteristics are advantageous and match the properties required of the silicon nitride precursor powder in order to obtain a silicon nitride sintered body that is easy to sinter and has excellent properties.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, the reaction can be stopped at the stage of producing a precursor for the silicon nitride sintered body without producing a complete silicon nitride sintered body from the beginning, so the reaction time is also shortened. The significance of the present invention is extremely great as it is capable of doing the following.
