Low temperature SiC die-attach bonding technology by hillocks generation on Al sheet surface with stress self-generation and self-release.


ABSTRACT: This paper introduced an approach of die-attach bonding technology based on a low-cost high-purity aluminum (99.99%) sheet in a silicon carbide (SiC)/direct bonded aluminum (DBA) power module. Both sides of an Al sheet were sputtered by a thin Ti and Ag layer, which generated a tensile stress of 166?MPa on the Al surface. After heating, the Al surface displayed a large quantity of Ag hillocks by stress self-release due to the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch among Al, Ti, and Ag. The SiC/Al sheet/DBA substrate interfaces were bridged by the generation of these hillocks, which correspond to a robust shear strength of 33.4?MPa in a low-temperature process. Hillocks generation and the interface bonding mechanism by surface stress self-generation and self-release were systematically analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The shear strength remains constant at 32.1?MPa after high-temperature storage at 250?°C for 500?h, which suggests that the Al sheet possesses excellent high-heat resistance and thermal stability. This novel approach of die-attach bonding technology serves as an attractive alternative for SiC power devices that require high-temperature performance.
