Method for producing ceramic copper-clad substrate with pins by pre-slotting copper plate
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of aluminum nitride substrates, and particularly relates to a method for producing a ceramic copper-clad substrate with pins by a pre-grooved copper plate.
Background
At present, the manufacturing methods of the aluminum nitride ceramic-based copper-clad plate mainly comprise (1) a direct bonding copper technology (DBC) and (2) a direct copper plating technology (DPC).
The direct bonding copper technology has very strict control requirement on the process temperature, and the copper layer surface can be melted into a eutectic phase only when the temperature is extremely stable within the temperature range of 1050-1090 ℃ so as to realize the tight bonding with the ceramic substrate.
DPC is a copper-clad plate manufacturing technology combining vacuum coating and electroplating technologies, and the principle is that a layer of copper film is deposited on an alumina or aluminum nitride ceramic substrate by utilizing the vacuum coating technology, and then the copper film is thickened by utilizing the electroplating technology. The process temperature of DPC is generally lower than 400 ℃, so that the phenomenon of damage or dimensional variation caused by high temperature to the material is avoided. The DPC ceramic-based copper-clad plate has the advantages of high heat dissipation, high reliability, high precision, low manufacturing cost and the like. The upper limit of the resolution of the metal circuit of the DPC ceramic-based copper-clad plate is about 10-50um (taking the depth-to-width ratio of 1:1 as a standard), and even can be thinner, and the surface flatness is high, so that the DPC ceramic-based copper-clad plate is very suitable for a flip-chip/eutectic process requiring high circuit accuracy and high flatness. However, the use of the electroplating technology causes environmental pollution on the one hand, and on the other hand, the bonding force between the copper film plated by electroplating and the ceramic substrate is not very strong, and micro-pores or holes are generated in the electroplating process.
In the prior art, when the aluminum nitride ceramic-based copper-clad plate is manufactured in two ways, the pin is arranged on the copper plate, the pin is arranged between the pin and the aluminum nitride ceramic-based copper-clad plate, and the connection firmness between the copper plate and the aluminum nitride ceramic-based is possibly affected when the pin is arranged.
