  • COPPER SOLDER FORMULATION
    Publication number: 20220055158
    Abstract: Bulk copper solder is highly desired as a solder compound because it is very electrically conductive and has a high melting point relative to other solders. A composition for a copper solder includes copper(II) oxide powder in the range of 37-53% by mass, silicon carbide (SiC) powder in the range of 8-14% by mass, and a flux in the range of 35%-53% by mass. Energy in the form of microwave energy can be applied to the copper solder to convert the Cu(II)O to Cu, for a Cu product conversion of >93%.
