Patent number: 11426793Abstract: A method is provided to fabricate a high-power module. A non-touching needle is used to paste a slurry on a heat-dissipation substrate. The slurry comprises nano-silver particles and micron silver particles. The ratio of the two silver particles is 9:1˜1:1. The slurry is pasted on the substrate to be heated up to a temperature kept holding. An integrated chip (IC) is put above the substrate to form a combined piece. A hot presser processes thermocompression to the combined piece to form a thermal-interface-material (TIM) layer with the IC and the substrate. After heat treatment, the TIM contains more than 99 percent of pure silver with only a small amount of organic matter. No volatile organic compounds would be generated after a long term of use. No intermetallic compounds would be generated while the stability under high temperature is obtained. Consequently, embrittlement owing to procedure temperature is dismissed.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2018Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: National Cheng Kung UniversityInventors: In-Gann Chen, Hung-Cheng Chen, Chia-Ming Yang, Steve Lien-Chung Hsu, Chang-Shu Kuo

Patent number: 9902862Abstract: A method is provided to make a nano-silver paste. An organic acid is used as a protective agent. Silver nitrate is used as a source of silver ions to reduce silver nanoparticles on a surface protected by the organic acid. The particle size of the silver nanoparticle is 45 nanometers. In the other hand, a silver precursor of organic metal is synthesized. The organic metal is cracked at 200 celsius degrees (° C.) to fill pores left during sintering. After mixing the silver nanoparticle, the silver precursor and the solvent, the nano-silver paste is obtained. After being heated at 250° C. for 30 minutes, the nano-silver paste has a resistance of (3.09±0.61)×10?5 ?·cm.

Publication number: 20090136441Abstract: A nano-scaled antifouling paint for boat is fabricated. A few hydrophobic nano-particles are added into the paint to obtain a nanostructure and a low surface energy. Thus, sea creatures are hard to adhere on the boat or are easily removed. Moreover, owing to a low wettability of the paint, a water drag is reduced when the boat sails, and so fuel is saved.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2007Publication date: May 28, 2009Applicant: Fisheries Agency, Council of Agriculture, Executive YuanInventors: Steve Lien-Chung Hsu, Tsang-Tse Fang, Hsing-I Hsiang, Ming-Chung Fang
