Conventional technology Semiconductor devices, devices and equipment using these constitute complex thermal systems due to heat generation in semiconductor elements, resistors, coils, etc. Such heat is transmitted through various heat conduction methods, e.g. It will be released outside the device by heat conduction, heat radiation, convection, etc.

Therefore, in order to operate these elements stably and reliably, it is extremely important to perform the best thermal design in the design and manufacture of semiconductor devices and the like.

Furthermore, in recent years, there has been a trend toward faster speeds, higher densities, and larger sizes of semiconductor devices, and with this, an increase in the amount of heat generated by semiconductor devices has become a major problem. Therefore, there is a demand for improved heat dissipation of substrates for semiconductor devices, that is, further improvement of thermal conductivity in the thickness direction of the entire substrate. Therefore, substrates for semiconductor devices are required to have high electrical insulation and high heat dissipation properties at the same time.

As a result, the alumina sintered bodies conventionally used as IC substrates have low thermal conductivity and insufficient heat dissipation, so they are susceptible to increased heat generation due to the high integration of IC chips, etc. It is becoming increasingly difficult to respond adequately. Therefore, a highly thermally conductive beryllia substrate is being considered as an alternative to this alumina substrate, but beryllia is not only highly toxic and difficult to handle, but also is not practical because it is scarce and expensive.

On the other hand, aluminum nitride (AJN) is attracting attention as an insulating material and a packaging material in the semiconductor industry because it inherently has high thermal conductivity and high insulation properties, and is also low in toxicity.

(based on the theoretical density of fiN 3.26 g/cj) is
Although it depends on the sintering conditions, it is only about 70-80% at most.
Moreover, it has a large number of pores. By the way, the heat conduction mechanism of insulating ceramics such as aluminum nitride sintered bodies consists of ionic and covalent bonds, and is mainly based on phonon conduction due to anharmonic interaction between lattice vibrations. When there are defects such as pores and impurities, phonon scattering is significant and only a material with low thermal conductivity can be obtained.

As C-chips and other devices become larger, the amount of heat generated by these elements and devices is expected to increase significantly, but conventional substrates are no longer able to adequately cope with this increase in amount of heat generated. , the development of new substrate materials is desired. Under these circumstances, AfN, which is attracting attention as a high-temperature structural material with high heat resistance, has thermal conductivity, electrical insulation,
Because it is excellent in both, it is expected to be used as an insulating material and a packaging material in the semiconductor industry, but the actual situation is as described above, and so far, AIN sintered bodies with excellent physical properties that can withstand practical use are not available. It has not been done.

To further explain the method of the present invention, first, AIN and predetermined amounts of calcium oxide and calcium fluoride are mixed.

Effect-a is the dense nature of A6N, which is said to have poor sinterability.
In order to obtain a sintered body with high thermal conductivity, a particular problem was the large amount of pores remaining in the final product. Therefore, by reducing the amount of pores, AIN with high thermal conductivity
Methods using various sintering aids have been proposed to produce sintered products, but the ones that have been used in the past are still insufficient, and are suitable for semiconductor devices that are becoming larger and more integrated. A substrate that maintains sufficient heat dissipation is not yet known.

By the way, according to the present invention, it has become possible to advantageously obtain a dense and highly thermally conductive AIN sintered body by using calcium oxide and calcium fluoride as sintering aids.

In the method of the present invention, a particularly targeted thermal conductivity of 10
When obtaining an AIN sintered body with high heat dissipation of 0 W/m or more, several conditions act critically.

まず、AIN粉末中の酸素含有率は0.5〜1.5重量

酸素が存在する場合、焼結工程において酸素力Al5o

ことができないからである。
Firstly, the oxygen content in the AIN powder must be between 0.5 and 1.5% by weight, because if oxygen is present above this upper limit, the oxygen power Al5o will be reduced during the sintering process.
z Aluminum is mixed into the Al1N sintered body in the form of Al0N(7), which causes phonon scattering as mentioned above, resulting in a product with low thermal conductivity.
This is because it is impossible to obtain an AIN sintered body with a high thermal conductivity of 00 W/m or more.

Moreover, if it is less than 0.5% by weight, Aj! The sinterability of the N powder is significantly inhibited, making it impossible to obtain a relative density of 95% or more.As a result, the thermal conductivity also drops to 1001, making it impossible to obtain a relative density of 95% or more.

Next, the amounts of calcium oxide and calcium fluoride added as sintering aids were each 0. It is necessary that O is in the range of 1 to 0.07% by weight and 0.1 to 0.7% by weight. That is, if the amount is less than the lower limit of 0.01% by weight or 0.1% by weight, a sufficiently dense pressureless sintered body cannot be obtained; If it is used in an amount exceeding 0.7% by weight, the thermal conductivity of the obtained sintered body will decrease, and the desired heat dissipation property of AfN will decrease.
A sintered body cannot be obtained.

酸化カルシウムおよび弗化カルシウムは各々単独で添加

It is known that when calcium oxide and calcium fluoride are added individually, the effect is small, and that a thermal conductivity of 100 W/m or more can only be obtained when they are added as a mixture.

In addition, it is preferable that the sintering temperature be within the range of 1700 to 2200°C, since sintering will not proceed sufficiently at temperatures below 1700°C, making it impossible to obtain a dense product with a relative density of 95% or more. First, if sintering is performed at a temperature exceeding 2200'C, the decomposition reaction of Al1N will be significantly accelerated, resulting in a large weight loss of the sintered body.

As described above, according to the method of the present invention, by using calcium oxide and calcium fluoride as sintering aids for AfN, dense A7! It becomes possible to obtain a N sintered body. In addition, in order to obtain an AIN sintered body that provides high heat dissipation properties and is useful as a packaging substrate for highly integrated semiconductor devices that generate a large amount of heat, it is necessary to rate,
It is necessary to keep the conditions such as sintering temperature within the above ranges, and this allows the atmospheric pressure sintering method, which is the most economical sintering method, to achieve high thermal conductivity (over 100 W/m). An AβN sintered body with high density (high relative density) is advantageously provided.

It is thought that a glass-like liquid phase is generated by the reaction of aFz and AfN, and densification and granulation of the crystalline Mi texture occur due to liquid phase sintering, thereby improving thermal conductivity.

In addition, as shown in the examples below, the thermal conductivity is Ca
This shows a significant increase compared to the aluminum nitride sintered body to which O and CaFt are not added. This is considered to be because the combination of AβN powder with an optimal oxygen content, CaO, and CaFz sufficiently achieved densification and low defect concentration of the aluminum nitride sintered body. Furthermore, it is thought that the granularity of the crystal structure contributes to the improvement of thermal conductivity.
