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:
A heat-dissipating structure is formed by bonding a first member and a second member, each being any of a metal, ceramic, and semiconductor, via a die bonding member; or a semiconductor module formed by bonding a semiconductor chip, a metal wire, a ceramic insulating substrate, and a heat-dissipating base substrate including metal, with a die bonding member interposed between each. At least one of the die bonding members includes a lead-free low-melting-point glass composition and metal particles. The lead-free low-melting-point glass composition accounts for 78 mol % or more in terms of the total of the oxides V2O5, TeO2, and Ag2O serving as main ingredients. The content of each of TeO2 and Ag2O is 1 to 2 times the content of V2O5, and at least one of BaO, WO3, and P2O5 is included as accessory ingredients, and at least one of Y2O3, La2O3, and Al2O3 is included as additional ingredients.
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.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes an IGBT as a vertical semiconductor element provided between first, and second lead frames, in pairs, the first, and second lead frames being opposed to each other, first and second sintered-metal bonding layers provided on first and second bonding surfaces of the IGBT, in pairs, respectively, a through-hole opened in the second lead frame, and a heat-release member having a surface on one side thereof, bonded to a second sintered-metal bonding layer of the second bonding surface while a side (lateral face) of a surface of the heat-release member, on the other side thereof, being fitted into the through-hole. A solder layer is formed in a gap between an outer-side wall of the side of the surface of the heat-release member, on the other side thereof, and an inner-side wall of the through-hole.
