Project description
The work can be divided into 3 main areas:
- Materials research: copper formate based complex and then a hybrid copper paste as a combination of surface modified flakes and copper complex.
- Sintering process: the process will be optimized mainly from the aspects of high volume shrinkage due to the decomposition of the copper formate and the identification and control of possible impurities generated by the formate sublimation.
- Characterization and validation: the sintered interconnects will be validated through thermal, electrical and mechanical characterization by both non-destructive analysis (transient thermal analysis, Raman spectroscopy, acoustic microscopy) and destructive testing (shear strength, creep measurements). This is an iterative process that runs in parallel with step (1) and (2), validating the scientific objectives.
