From 25 to 95% of silver is blended with a low-melting glass, preferably one having 95-96% PbO, and a paste or ink is formed with a suitable vehicle at 75-85% solids. Use of the paste follows conventional practice. Selection of Ag:glass ratio depends on the type of die bonding to be used. The paste is particularly useful in MOS technology, where low contact resistance is required, and also finds applications as a solder substitute and bonding chip capacitors. It is most advantageous in attachment of larger-area integrated circuits in that stress cracking associated with the gold-silicon eutectic is avoided.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 1983Date of Patent: July 10, 1984Assignee: Johnson Matthey Inc.Inventors: Raymond L.

Patent number: 4436829Abstract: This invention is concerned with the fabrication of thick film, RuO.sub.2 -based resistors. More specifically, this invention is directed to the formulation of glass frits for use in such resistors exhibiting temperature coefficient of resistance values of less than 100 ppm. Such glass frits consist essentially, expressed in terms of mole percent on the oxide basis, of about 32-39% PbO, 44-47% B.sub.2 O.sub.3, 14-17% SiO.sub.2, and an effective amount up to 5% of WO.sub.3 or MoO.sub.3.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 1982Date of Patent: March 13, 1984Assignee: Corning Glass WorksInventor: Robert G.

Patent number: 4407061Abstract: A fabrication technique is described for making various devices in which a certain type of glass is used as a surface protection layer. The glass layers are formed by particle bombardment (generally sputtering or E-beam) of a glass target. Devices with such surface layers are also described. Such glass layers are highly advantageous as encapsulating layers, diffusion barrier layers, etc., particularly for optical type devices and certain semiconductor devices. Particularly important is the preparation procedure for the glass target used in the bombardment process. The glass layers are moisture stable, act as excellent barriers against diffusion, and are usable up to quite high temperatures (i.e., in diffusion doping procedures) without cracking or peeling. The glass layers also provide long-term protection against atmosphere components including water vapor, oxygen, atmosphere pollution contaminants, etc., and can be removed by standard etching techniques.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1981Date of Patent: October 4, 1983Assignee: Bell Telephone Laboratories, IncorporatedInventors: William H. Grodkiewicz, Shobha Singh, LeGrand G. Van Uitert

Patent number: 4401766Abstract: Acid and alkali oxides are smelted for an extended period of time at a first elevated temperature above their melting temperatures. The smelted mixture is then quenched in water and fritted. The fritted mixture is then disposed between a pair of members which are to be hermetically sealed relative to each other. The fritted mixture is then at least partially fused in an oxygen atmosphere at a second temperature below the first temperature for a relatively short period of time. The at least partially fused mixture is then rapidly cooled in air. In this way, the mixture is provided with a partially amorphous state and a partially crystalline state. The crystals in the mixture are disposed primarily at the borders of at least a particular one of the members to be sealed.The mixture hermetically seals the two members, is resistant to acids and alkalis and inhibits the propagation of cracks.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 1982Date of Patent: August 30, 1983Assignee: James C.

Patent number: 4401767Abstract: A silver metallizing paste for attachment of silicon semi-conductive devices in lead-frame packages, specifically ceramic packages, which is less expensive than a gold preform but useable in hermetic packages, and provides better electrical and thermal conductivity, and higher bond strength, than silver polyimides. From 25 to 95% of silver is blended with a low-melting glass, preferably one having 95-96% PbO, and a paste or ink is formed with a suitable vehicle at 75-85% solids. Use of the paste follows conventional practice. Selection of Ag:glass ratio depends on the type of die bonding to be used.

Patent number: 4400310Abstract: Thick film silver compositions, containing silver powder, glass and certain inorganic materials, useful for silver terminations for reduced barium titanate (RBT) capacitors, are provided. The inorganic materials or their precursors contain ions capable of substituting into the BaTiO.sub.3 lattice, existing as surface layers on the RBT bodies, or grains therein, to produce (Ba.sub.1-x M.sub.x ') (Ti.sub.1-y M.sub.y ")(O.sub.3-z A.sub.z) where x<1, y<1, and z<0.1.
