  • Transient liquid phase sintering (TLPS) adhesives form a termination to an electronic element or attach external terminations to a surface such as a solder pad or adjacent external termination thereby functioning as an interconnect.
  • TLPS Transient liquid phase sintering
  • terminations have the advantage of being able to accommodate different surface finishes as well as electronic elements of differing lengths. Furthermore, since no solder balls are formed electronic elements can be stacked on top of each other with only TLPS there between and without the gaps normally required for cleaning as with solder attachment technology. TLPS can be directly bonded with the inner electrodes of the electronic component, when the electronic element is an MLCC, and the termination can be formed at low temperature. In an embodiment, higher density terminations can be prepared by using a thermo-compression process thereby forming improved external lead attachment bonds.
  • Solders are alloys which do not undergo a change in composition after the first reflow. Solders have only one melting point and can be remelted an indefinite number of times. The most common solder is 60%Sn40%Pb. Solders have been the materials of choice in electronics to provide the mechanical and electrical interconnects between electronic elements and circuit boards or substrates. Solders are very well suited for mass volume production assembly processes. The physical properties of solder can be altered simply by changing the ratios or the metals used to create a solder alloy. When solder is referenced herein it will imply an alloy of at least two metals that can be remelted multiple times at nearly the same temperature.
  • Transient liquid phase sintering (TLPS) bonds are distinguishable from solders.
  • TLPS materials are mixtures of two or more metals or metal alloys prior to exposure to elevated temperatures thereby distinguishing the thermal history of the material.
  • TLPS materials exhibit a low melting point prior to exposure to elevated temperatures, and a higher melting point following exposure to these temperatures.
  • the initial melting point is the result of the low temperature metal or an alloy of two low temperature metals.
  • the second melting temperature is that of the intermetallic formed when the low temperature metal or alloy forms a new alloy with a high temperature melting point metal thereby creating an intermetallic having a higher melting point.
  • TLPS materials form a metallurgical bond between the metal surfaces to be joined. Unlike tin/lead or lead (Pb) free solders, the TLPS adhesives do not spread as they form the intermetallic joint.
  • Transient Liquid Phase Sintering is the terminology given to a process to describe the resulting metallurgical condition when two or more TLPS compatible materials are brought in contact with one another and raised to a
  • At least one of those metals is from a family of metals having a low melting point, such as tin (Sn) or indium (In), and the second metal is from a family having high melting points, such as copper (Cu) or silver (Ag).
  • Sn and Cu are brought together, and the temperature elevated, the Sn and Cu form CuSn intermetallics and the resulting melting point is higher than the melting point of the metal having a low melting point.
  • In and Ag when sufficient heat is applied to the In to cause it to melt it actually diffuses into the Ag creating a solid solution which in turn has a higher melting point than the In itself.
  • TLPS will be used to generically reference the process and the TLPS compatible materials used to create a metallurgical bond between two or more TLPS compatible metals.
  • TLPS provides an electrical and mechanical interconnect that can be formed at a relatively low temperature ( ⁇ 300°C) and having a secondary re-melt temperature >600°C. These temperatures are determined by the different combination of TLPS compatible metals.
  • the rate of diffusion or sintering is a time temperature function and is different for the different combinations of metals. The result is a solid solution having a new melt temperature approaching that of the high temperature melting metal.
  • the TLPS technology is particularly suited to providing both a mechanical and electrical conductive metallurgical bond between two mating surfaces preferably that are relatively flat.
  • the metals typically used for the TLPS process are selected from two metal families. One consists of low melting temperature metals such as indium, tin, lead, antimony, bismuth, cadmium, zinc, gallium, tellurium, mercury, thallium, selenium, or polonium and a second family consist of high temperature melting metals such as silver, copper, aluminum, gold, platinum, palladium, beryllium, rhodium, nickel, cobalt, iron and molybdenum to create a diffused solid solution.
  • low melting temperature metals such as indium, tin, lead, antimony, bismuth, cadmium, zinc, gallium, tellurium, mercury, thallium, selenium, or polonium
  • a second family consist of high temperature melting metals such as silver, copper, aluminum, gold, platinum,
  • TLPS is a sintering based process
  • the bond line is uniform and void free. Fluxes, which are necessary with solders, get entrapped in the joint and are subsequently burned out leaving a void.
  • these voids can create hot spots within the integrated circuit (l/C) which can lead to premature failure and reliability issues.
  • TLPS addresses this issue since TLPS is a sintering process and free of fluxes. When the two metals are mated together and heat is applied, the lower melting metal diffuses into the higher melting metal to create a solid solution across the mating surface area.
  • TLPS in paste form allows uneven surfaces to be joined. More specifically, the use of TLPS in paste form allows two irregular shaped surfaces to be joined with no intimate, or continuous, line of contact.
  • a TLPS compatible metal particle core combined with a liquid carrier material to form a paste can be applied between two non- planar non-uniform surfaces having mixed surface preparation technologies such as plating, sintered thick film, and or plated sintered thick film and then heating to the melting temperature of the metal having the lowest melting point and holding that temperature for a sufficient amount of time to form a joint.
  • a single metal particle core eliminates the need for multiple metals in a paste thus making the ratios of metals a non-issue. It is also possible to create a single particle by using silver, a metal having a high melting point of approximately 960°C as a core particle, and then coating that particle with a metal shell having a low temperature metal such as indium having a melting point of 157°C.
  • a two-step reflow can also be used with the transient liquid phase sintering process wherein in the first step an electrically conductive metallurgical bond is formed at low temperature using a relatively short time cycle, in the range of 5 seconds to 5 minutes, and low temperature, in the range of 180°C to 280°C, depending on the metals being used in the TLPS alloying process.
  • the part is subjected to an isothermal aging process using a temperature range of 200°C to 300°C for a longer duration such as, but not limited to, 5 minutes to 60 minutes. The shorter times required to form the initial bond are well suited for an automated process.
  • a single step process can be used wherein the TLPS forms a terminal, or conductive metallurgical bond, between the external leads and electronic element(s) at
  • temperatures of, for example, 250°C to 325°C for a duration of, for example, 10 seconds to 30 seconds.
  • Lower temperatures, such as 175°C to 210°C, can be used for a longer duration, such as 10 to 30 minutes. This is particularly useful when the electronic component itself is sensitive to temperature.
  • Indium powder mixed with a flux and solvent to form a paste can be applied to produce a TLPS metallurgical bond between two coupons having a base metal of copper overplated with Ni and then overplated with about 5 microns (200 ⁇ inches) of silver.
  • the samples can be prepared by dispensing the indium paste onto a coupon having the plated surfaces as mentioned and then placing two coupons in contact with one another and heating to 150°C for 5 seconds, followed by increasing the
  • the joint strength of the sample thus prepared can exhibit a pull weight in the range of 85-94 pounds equating to shear stress of 4, 177 psi and a pull peel weight in the range of 5-9 pounds with an average of 7 pounds can be achieved. These results are comparable to results for SnPb solders having shear strengths of approximately 3000 psi and pull peel strengths in the 7-10 pound range.
  • One major difference is that the Agin joint can withstand secondary melt temperatures exceeding 600°C.
  • the TLPS paste or preform may have inert fillers therein to serve two purposes.
  • One purpose is to minimize the cost due to expensive metals and the second purpose is to make direct electrical and metallurgical bonds directly to the non-terminated ends of the electronic element and exposed internal electrodes.
  • the cost can be reduced, particularly, when a gap is to be filled by replacing a portion of, particularly, the high melting metal component with an inert material or with a lower cost conductive material.
  • Particularly preferred fillers for use in place of the high melting point metal are non- metals such as ceramics with melting points > 300°C and glasses or high temperature polymers with glass transition temperatures (T g ) > 200°C.
  • An example would be thermosetting polymers such as polyimide.
  • the active low melting point metal of the TLPS with not be consumed by diffusion during the TLPS bond formation.
  • the second advantage of inert fillers when selected from a family of glasses having low melting points is that the glass within the mixture of the TLPS paste or preform will create a bond with the exposed glass frit of the non-terminated and exposed ceramic body of, for example, an MLCC.
  • the non-metals can also be coated with the low melting point metal by methods such a spraying or plating.
  • Sintered metal interconnects of silver as well as nano-silver and nano-copper can also be used to form interconnects.
  • the resulting interconnect can be formed using a low temperature sintering process but the bond formed has the high melting point associated with the metal, in the case of silver 960°C.
  • these processes often require elevated pressures for prolonged times in batch operation that can limit throughput compared to CuSn TLPS.
  • nano-sized metals can be prohibitively expensive.
  • Diffusion soldering can also be used as a joining method to form the interconnect. This combines features of conventional soldering and diffusion bonding processes. The process relies on reaction between a thin layer of molten solder and metal on the components to form one or more intermetallic phases that are solid at the joining temperature. Since a low melting point material, such as solder, reacts with a higher melting point metal this may also be considered in the broader definition of TLPS.
  • Direct copper bonding can also be used but this is a high temperature diffusion process primarily used in die attach so it could be detrimental to some components.
  • Methods to adhere an external termination to a solder pad can comprise coating two mating surfaces one with a high melting point metal and its mating surface with a low melting point metal.
  • the coating process may consist of vapor deposition or plating.
  • a second method is to sandwich a preform film made from a low melting point metal or an alloy of two or more low melting point metals between two planar surfaces coated with a high melting point metal.
  • a third method is to create a paste consisting of particles of a high melting point metal such as copper and then adding particles of two alloyed low melting point metals and mixed into a dual purpose liquid that cleans the surfaces to be bonded and serves as the liquid ingredient to the metal particles to form a paste mixture.
  • the joint can be subjected to a second heating process.
  • the joint, or assembly can be subjected to a temperature higher than that of the low melting point material and held for a period of time from 15 minutes up to 2 hours. The time and temperature can be varied to provide a desirable secondary reflow temperature as dictated by secondary assembly
  • indium/silver TLPS secondary melt temperatures in excess of 600°C can be achieved.
  • the preform can be a thin foil of the low temperature TLPS component.
  • the preform can be produced by casting and drying the paste to remove the solvent. The resulting solid preform can be placed between the surfaces to be bonded. In this case it may be necessary to add a suitable binder to the paste for additional strength after drying. In all these cases the preform should be malleable such that it can conform to the surfaces to be bonded.
  • a preferred embodiment of this invention is therefore to form a low porosity termination within the transient liquid phase sintering joint using a thermo-compression bonding process.
  • This process has the added advantage of using a low process time of 15 to 30 seconds at a temperature in the range of 225°C to 300°C in a single step making it suitable for automation.
  • Robust joints can be created for the application of attaching external leads to electronic elements, when leads are used, with a one-step low temperature in less than 30 seconds and in combination with thermo-compression bonding.
  • Thermo compression bonding is also a preferred processing method when using polymer solder because it assists in the formation of a high density metallurgical bond between the contacting surfaces.
  • the advantages of thermo-compression include a more robust bond with respect to secondary attachment processes and attachments with higher strength are achieved.
  • a compressive force of 0.5 to 4.5 Kilograms/cm 2 (7.1 to 64 psi) and more preferably 0.6 to 0.8 Kilograms/cm 2 (8.5 to 1 1 psi) is sufficient for demonstration of the thermo-compression teachings herein. About 0.63
  • Kilograms/cm2 (9 psi) is a particularly suitable pressure for demonstration of the teachings.
  • An HTCA can be an interconnect comprising a single metal, such as indium, contained within a paste which can be used to form a bond to a surface coated with a high melting point metal, such as silver.
  • a high melting point metal such as silver.
  • the diffusion of the indium into silver allows a lower temperature transient liquid phase to form that subsequently reacts to achieve a higher temperature bond.
  • Achieving a high rate of diffusion in the lower melting point paste is critical to this bond formation.
  • the addition of other metals to the paste may be desirable.
  • Coatings also have the desired effect of reducing the diffusion lengths between the different metallic elements of the paste allowing preferred phases to be more readily formed as opposed to a simple mixing of one or more additional metal powders to the single metal paste.
  • Conductive adhesives as HTCA's are typically cross linking polymers filled with silver or gold particles that cure or cross link within a specified temperature range, generally 150°C, to form a mechanical bond to the materials to be joined. Their conductivity is created by the metal particles making intimate contact with one another, within the confines of the polymer matrix, to form an electrically conductive path from one particle to another. Because the binder is organic in nature, they have relatively low temperature capabilities, normally in the range of about 150°C to about 300°C.
  • Conductive epoxies once cured, cannot be reworked. Unlike TLPS bonds, exposure to high heat or corrosive environments may decompose the polymeric bonds and oxidize the metal particles degrading the electrical properties. Both the electrical and mechanical performance of the interconnect can be compromised resulting in increased ESR and decreased mechanical strength.
  • Polymer solders HTCA's may comprise conventional solder systems based on Pb/Sn alloy systems or lead free systems, such as Sn/Sb, which are combined with crosslinking polymers which serve as cleaning agents.
  • the cross-linked polymers also have the ability to form a cross-linked polymer bond, such as an epoxy bond, that forms during the melting phase of the metals thereby forming a solder alloy and a mechanical polymeric bond.
  • An advantage of polymer solders is that the polymeric bond provides additional mechanical bond strength at temperatures above the melting point of the solder, thus giving the solder joint a higher operating temperature in the range of about 5 to 80°C above the melting point of the solder.
  • Polymer solders combine current solder alloys with a cross linking polymer within the same paste to provide both a metallurgical bond and a mechanical bond when cured, such as by heating, to provide additional solder joint strength at elevated temperatures.
  • the upper temperature limits and joint strength has been increased, just by the physical properties of the materials. A practical limit of 300°C remains whereas the bonds created by TLPS can achieve higher temperatures.
  • High temperature insulating adhesives can be a thermal or moisture set adhesives, UV cure adhesives or pressure sensitive adhesives.
  • Particularly preferred high temperature insulating adhesives include epoxy resins, phenolic formaldehyde resins, phenolic melamine formaldehyde resins, phenolic neoprene, resorcinol formaldehydes, polyesters, polyimides, cyanoacrylates, acrylics, styrene block copolymers, styrene butadiene copolymers, polyurethanes, polyarylenes, polysulfides, polyamides, silicones and waxes etc.
  • the HTIA may be selected to form a bond at the same time as the HTCA or in some circumstances, it may be preferable to provide a separate bonding process.
  • the HTIA bonding processes may be achieved by pressure, heating, UV curing, moisture curing or hot melt deposition. Additionally, the HTIA may contain inert fillers of sufficient size and dielectric properties to ensure minimal dielectric spacing between adjacent components as required by the circuit / stack design and service conditions.
