A New Alternative Non-Pressure Silver Sinter Process by Using IR

Abstract:
Silver sinter materials have attracted rising attention to use as interconnect materials in the power electronic devices mainly due to the requirement for devices with longer lifetime, higher efficiency, lower manufacturing cost and the most important is devices that do not contain lead. Silver sintering process are generally classified as pressure and non-pressure sintering process based on the presence or absence of applied pressure during the sintering process. This paper describes the used of Infrared Radiation in pressure sinter and non-pressure sinter applications.
