ABSTRACTCharacteristics such as CTE close to that of silicon, high thermal conductivity, and good dielectric properties make aluminum nitride (AIN) an excellent dielectric for packaging silicon-based high density multichip interconnects. However, there remains many aspects of its behavior that have not been characterized. One such example is the behavior of the various metallizations used within a package. As with A12O3, these metallizations must contribute toward a hermetic seal separating the die from the environment. However, the chemical behavior of the metallization systems used for A12O3 may not be compatible with non-oxide ceramics such as AIN. Consequently, these chemical interactions are investigated in view of the requirements for each application within electronic packages. Hermeticity testing results are also included in the discussion.

AbstracMineralization processes used by bioorganisms have been adapted for the nucleation and growth of ceramic oxide thin films onto surfaces from aqueous solutions. These strategies include the use of surfaces derivatized with specific functional groups that control the nucleation and growth and properties of materials deposited. Iron oxide materials were deposited onto functionalized polystyrene surfaces, resulting in the formation of thin films composed of densely packed, nanometer-sized crystallites. Evidence for the formation of oriented crystallites was found. This process may have advantages over conventional thin film processing methods due to the ability to systematically control properties of materials deposited.

Spark Plasma

Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is a newly developed technique that enables poorly sinterable tin oxide powder to be fully densified. Sintering without sintering aids is of great importance when SnO2ceramics are used as electrodes in the glass melting industry and aluminum electrometallurgy. Dense and good-conductive Antimony-doped SnO2 ceramics can be achieved by SPS at a lower sintering temperature and in a shorter time. When the Sb2O3concentration is 1.0 mol%, the densities of the samples reach their maximum value, which is 98.2% of the theoretical value. When the content of Sb2O3was 2.44mol%, SnO2ceramics with densities 97.6% can be obtained at 800°C-1000°C, and the resistivity was about 5.19×10-2Ω.cm at the sintering temperature of 1000°C. Defined amount of Sb3+used in our research are beneficial to low the sintering temperature and promote the densification of SnO2ceramics

One of the most important interfaces in materials science is the one between polymers and ceramics. Ceramics can be viewed as highly cross-linked polymer systems, with the three-dimensional network providing strength, rigidity, and resistance to high temperatures. Although not generally recognized as such, a few ceramics exist that are totally organic (i.e., carbon-based). Melamine-formaldehyde resins, phenolformaldehyde materials, and carbon fibers are well-known examples. However, totally inorganic ceramics are more widely known, many of which are based on the elements silicon, aluminum, or boron combined with oxygen, carbon, or nitrogen. Among the inorganic ceramics, two different classes can be recognized—oxide ceramics and non-oxide materials. The oxide ceramics frequently include silicate structures, and these are relatively low melting materials. The non-oxide ceramics, such as silicon carbide, silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, and boron nitride are some of the highest melting substances known. Non-oxide ceramics are often so high melting that they are difficult to shape and fabricate by the melt- or powder-fusion techniques that are common for oxide materials. One major use for inorganic-organic polymers and oligomers is as sacrificial intermediates for pyrolytic conversion to ceramics. The logic is as follows. Linear, branched, or cyclolinear polymers or oligomers can be fabricated easily by solution- or melt-fabrication techniques. If a polymeric material that has been shaped and fabricated in this way is then cross-linked and pyrolyzed in an inert atmosphere to drive off the organic components (typically, the side groups), the resultant residue may be a totally inorganic ceramic in the shape of the original fabricated article. Thus, ceramic fibers, films, coatings, and shaped objects may by accessible without recourse to the ultra-high temperatures needed for melting of the ceramic material itself. Note, however, that although the final shape of the object may be retained during pyrolysis, the size will be diminished due to the loss of volatile material. If the pyrolysis takes place too quickly, this contraction process may cause cracking of the material and loss of strength.
