摘要
We have developed a new void free process for making the solder joint between the chip mounted AlN substrate and the metal substrate in large-area. high power insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules. This new process consists of two steps. First, Ar+ were used to clean the surfaces of Ni plated film on a metal and AlN substrates which were then coated with 0.5-mum-thick Ag film. Second, 50 wt% Pb-Sn solder was sandwiched between the two substrates and heated to 503 K in a vacuum for 5 min before being cooled in a N-2 atmosphere. By using this process, the area percentage of voids in a soldering area up to 130 x 190 mm(2) can be reduced to less than 0.1%. IGBT modules made by this process were also found to exhibit satisfactory current-voltage characteristics.
