Abstract:
An aluminum salt is dissolved into water as a solvent to prepare an aqueous solution of the aluminum salt. Urea is added to the aqueous solution of the aluminum salt to be dissolved into the solution. The solution is heated to produce a precipitation of aluminum hydroxide. A deflocculant is added to deflocculate the precipitation. Thus, a sol is produced which contains colloidal particles of aluminum hydroxide and crystalline particles of aluminum oxide. An even and dense alumina thin film can be produced by using the sol on a surface of a substrate made of a metal having a low melting point, such as copper or aluminum.
Abstract:
Provided are: a sintering binder including nanoparticles, a method for producing the sintering binder, and a method for bonding using the sintering binder. The sintering binder mainly includes cuprous oxide nanoparticles, combines particle stability with bondability, and less undergoes ion migration. A composite particle including metallic copper with the remainder being cuprous oxide and inevitable impurities is used for bonding typically of metals. The composite particle structurally includes metallic copper dispersed inside the particle and has an average particle size of 1000 nm or less.
