1 j»: ( 51) INT CL B 23 K 1/20 O ( 52) Index at acceptance B 3 R 24 26 A ( 54) SOLDER BONDING OF SURFACES ( 71) We, INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ELECTRIC CORPORATION a Corporation organised and existing under the Laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America of 320 Park Avenue, New York 22, State of New York, United States of America, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:-
The present invention relates to solder bonding of surfaces particularly but not exclusively in the construction of printed circuit assemblies.
In the past it has been the practice of plating the surface of the substrate to be bonded to a surface of the carrier with a metal and then tinning both of these surfaces separately with solder The tinned surfaces are separately cleaned to remove undesirable voids in both of the tinned surfaces A flux is applied to both of the cleaned tinned surfaces separately and both of the fluxed cleaned tinned surfaces are placed in contact with each other Heat and pressure is then simultaneously applied to both of the substrate and the carrier until the solder of both of the fluxed cleaned tinned surfaces flows.
Both of the bodies are then allowed to cool in a natural manner to room temperature while still applying the pressure to bond the substrate to the carrier.
A disadvantage of this method of bonding a substrate to a carrier in printed circuit assemblies is that intimate contact between the bonded surfaces may not be achieved due to trapped flux and additionally excess solder will flow out onto undesirable areas of the substrate and carrier, such as the outer surface of the substrate and the carrier adjacent the bonded joint.
According to the present invention there is provided a method of soldering a dielectric body to a metallic body, the method including plating a surface of said dielectric body with a metal, forming a plurality of vents in the metal body, tinning the plated surface and a surface of the metallic body with solder, cleaning the two surfaces to remove undesirable voids, applying a flux to the surfaces, placing the fluxed surfaces in contact with each other, applying heat and pressure until the solder flows, and allowing the bodies to cool to room temperature while still 55 applying the pressure to solder bond said dielectric body to said metallic body, the plurality of vent means removing excess flux and solder from the contact surfaces during the step of applying heat and pressure 60 to provide an intimate bonded contact between both surfaces.
According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of soldering a first body of a given material 65 to a second body of a material different than said given material, the method including forming a plurality of vents in a surface of one of said bodies, tinning said surface with solder, plating one surface of the other 70 body with a metal and tinning that surface with solder, cleaning said tinned surfaces separately to remove undesirable voids in both of said tinned surfaces; applying a flux to both of said cleaned tinned surfaces 75 separately; placing both of said fluxed cleaned tinned surfaces in contact with each other; applying heat and pressure simultaneously to both of said first and second bodies until said solder of both of said fluxed cleaned 80 tinned surfaces flows; and allowing both of said bodies to cool to room temperature while still applying said pressure to solder said first body to said second body; said plurality of vent means removing excess 85 flux and solder from the contact surface during said step of applying heat and pressure to provide an intimate soldered contact between both of said surfaces.
So the invention can be clearly understood, 90 reference will now be made to the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig 1 is a cross-sectional view of a printed circuit assembly employing the method of bonding the dielectric substrate to the 95 metallic carrier in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention with the thickness of the various components of the assembly and the diameter of the vent holes being greatly exaggerated for clarity; 100 and ( 11) 1 586 265 Fig 2 is a cross-sectional view along lines 2-2 of Fig 1.
Referring to Figs 1 and 2, a surface 1 of dielectric substrate 2 is plated with a metallic plating material 3 The dielectric substrate 2 may be any known dielectric material but as a preferred embodiment is composed of alumina (A 1203) The metallic plating material 3 may be any suitable metallic material easily applied to surface 1 In the preferred embodiment plating material 3 is gold which may be placed on surface 1 by well known vaporizing techniques Surface 1 of substrate 2 is to be bonded to surface 5 of metallic carrier 4 Metallic carrier 4 may be composed of any suitable metal and in the preferred embodiment carrier 4 is composed of aluminium Due to the difficulty of soldering aluminium, a metallic plating material 6 is vaporized upon surface 5 of carrier 4.
As with plating material 3, plating material 6 may be any suitable metal, however, in the preferred embodiment the metal employed is gold The plating of surface 5 may be eliminated if the metal of carrier 4 can be easily tinned Vent holes 7 are formed in carrier 4 by drilling a plurality of holes from surface 5 through carrier 4 to surface 8 parallel to surface 5 Vent holes 7 may be drilled in carrier 4 by employing a drilling jig with as many drills having the desired spacing therebetween as the number of desired vent holes 7.
Plating material 3 of substrate 2 and plating material 6 of carrier 4 are tinned by applying flux and solder to materials 3 and 6 with substrate 2 and carrier 4 separated from each other Substrate 2 and carrier 4 are then separately heated to a temperature of approximately 150 ‘C (centigrade) at which temperature the solder will flow Substrate 2 and carrier 4 are then allowed to separately cool in a natural manner to room temperature.
The cooled separated substrate 2 and carrier 4 have the tinned surfaces thereof cleaned to remove undesirable voids in the tinned surfaces The cleaning process includes the step of dipping each of the tinned surfaces separately into water, wiping the water’ from each of the tinned surfaces separately with a tissue, dipping each of the tinned surfaces separately in a halocarbon solvent and wiping the solvent from each of the tinned surfaces separately with a tissue.
A flux is then applied to both of the cleaned tinned surfaces separately and the cleaned tinned surfaces are then placed in contact with each other Heat and pressure is then simultaneously applied to substrate 2 and carrier 4 until the solder of both of the tinned surfaces flows The solder flows due to the applied heat at a temperature of approximately 1500 C and the pressure applied to the substrate 2 and carrier 4 is approximately 2 psi (pounds per square inch) At this point in the process substrate 2 and carrier 4 are allowed to cool in a natural manner to room temperature while still applying the pressure to cause a soldered bond between the plated surfaces 1 and 5 such as illustrated by bonding material 9 in the form of solder.
The printed circuit assembly is then completed by plating the desired metallic circuit on surface 11 of substrate 2 by well known printed circuit techniques.
The vent holes 7 remove excess flux to prevent the trapping of flux between plated surfaces 1 and 5 and thus provides an intimate soldered contact between plated surfaces 1 and 5 and remove solder to prevent the solder from flowing into undesirable areas, such as the outer surface of carrier 4 and substrate 2 adjacent the soldered joint.
