Abstract

Conventional Molded interconnect device technology with spatial circuit boards offer freedom of design as well as potential for rationalization and miniaturization by electronics integration. By integrating the third dimension into the circuit design, material and cost savings can be realized. Due to the limited application temperature of thermoplastics and thermosets, the potentials of spatial assemblies cannot be fully exploited. In the field of power electronics and LED technology, ceramic substrates are increasingly gaining acceptance for thermally demanding conditions. This publication investigates the interaction of a copper interface produced in an additive metallization process of a ceramic substrate by using the Plasmacoat® method and interconnection joints formed in a pressureless silver sintering process. Therefore, copper was deposited on different ceramic substrates and different particle temperatures as well as subsequent thermal treatment were evaluated. Silver sintering on selective coated interface was investigated for later use on a three-dimensional metallized ceramic substrate. Cross sections and Shear tests reveal that forming pressureless sintered interconnections on an additively formed copper surface is more demanding compared to common direct copper bonded (DCB) substrates.
