Patent number: 4436785Abstract: 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. 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: March 13, 1984Assignee: Johnson Matthey Inc.Inventors: Raymond L.

Patent number: 4135038Abstract: A seal structure consisting of a ceramic base and a low-expansion metallic material bonded by a low-melting glass particularly useful for large scale integrated circuit (LSI) applications is disclosed. When using a high alumina ceramics containing 65 to 92% of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 by weight as a ceramic, the thermal coefficients of expansion are best matched while maintaining a comparatively low dielectric constant by using a composition consisting of 60 to 85% lead borate glass, 10 to 30% .beta.-eucryptite and 0.5 to 15% zircon as a low-melting sealing glass.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1977Date of Patent: January 16, 1979Assignee: NGK Spark Plug Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akio Takami, Kazuo Kondo, Kazutoshi Tanaka

Patent number: 4122232Abstract: A paste for forming a thick film conductor of a base metal on a non-conductive substrate comprises a base metal powder (particularly nickel) which ordinarily would oxidize when fired in air, boron powder and a vehicle. In one embodiment, the paste may also contain glass frit. By proper selection of the composition, in particular the amounts of boron and glass frit, a base metal conductor can be formed which strongly adheres to the substrate and has excellent conductive properties. Ranges of compositions are disclosed within which the pastes can be fired in air and produce conductive thick films and outside which conductive properties are inferior and/or the bond strength is unsatisfactory.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 1975Date of Patent: October 24, 1978Assignee: Engelhard Minerals & Chemicals CorporationInventor: Charles Y. Kuo

Patent number: 4098949Abstract: Metallizing compositions suitable for the production of fired on electrically conductive films which do not adversely affect the overall strength of heat resistant substrates are described. The compositions comprise, in specified proportions, at least one finely divided electrically conductive metal, certain alkali metal, crystallizable, high silica glass frits as binder, inert liquid vehicle and, if desired, inert filler and/or pigment. The compositions are particularly suited to glass substrates and provide therewith composite structures having greater strength than that of the glass substrate.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 1976Date of Patent: July 4, 1978Assignee: Hercules IncorporatedInventor: Raymond Stanley Kosiorek

Patent number: 4093771Abstract: The present invention relates to reaction cured glass and glass coatings prepared by reacting a compound selected from the group of substances consisting of silicon tetraboride, silicon hexaboride, other boron silicides, boron and mixtures thereof with a reactive glass frit composed of a porous high silica borosilicate glass and boron oxide. The glassy composites of the present invention are useful as coatings on low density fibrous porous silica insulations used as heat shields and for articles such as reaction vessels that are subjected to high temperatures with rapid heating and cooling and that require resistance to temperature and repeated thermal shock at temperatures up to about 1482.degree. C (2700PF).Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 1976Date of Patent: June 6, 1978Inventors: James C. Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, with respect to an invention of Fletcher, Howard E. Goldstein, Daniel B. Leiser, Victor W. Katvala

Patent number: 4091144Abstract: A substrate, such as a ceramic body, carries a layer of glaze consisting essentially of (a) an inorganic oxide glass matrix that is essentially free from ions which migrate in a high-electric field, (b) about 1 .times. 10.sup.19 to 50 .times. 10.sup.19 antimony cations distributed in each cubic centimeter of the glass matrix, and (c) about 4 to 30 weight percent with respect to the weight of said glaze of discrete tin-oxide particles in the antimony-containing glass matrix. The method comprises dissolving antimony, as a compound thereof, in a glass, mixing together particles of said glass and tin-oxide particles, coating the mixture on a substrate, heating the coated substrate to melt the glass particles while retaining tin oxide in discrete particulate form, and then solidifying the molten coating.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 1976Date of Patent: May 23, 1978Assignee: RCA CorporationInventors: Joseph Dresner, Kenneth Warren Hang

Electroless deposition of electrically nonconductive copper-boron coatings on nonmetallic substrates
Patent number: 4082898Abstract: An electrically nonconductive copper-boron film is deposited on the surface of a substrate, particularly a nonmetallic substrate such as glass, by reducing a copper salt with a small amount of alkali metal borohydride in the presence of a complexing agent such as Rochelle salt or ethylenediamine tetraacetate salts. The resultant copper-boron coated substrate may be further heated until it assumes a copper-bronze appearance by reflection, resulting in a copper-boron coated article, or the copper-boron coated substrate may be subjected to chemical reduction, resulting in a copper coated article of superior uniformity.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 1975Date of Patent: April 4, 1978Assignee: PPG Industries, Inc.Inventors: Richard G. Miller, Roy L. Cavitt -
Patent number: 4071649Abstract: A fire screening glazing panel and a method of producing same. A panel is formed of at least two structural plies and at least one of which is a vitreous sheet, layers of heat convertible thermally insulating barrier forming material are placed on a face of each ply, and a plastic membrane is sandwiched between the layered plies, the layers being adjacent the plastic membrane. When formed in this way, the plastic membrane makes the transfer of heat from one barrier-forming material layer to the other more uniform and prolongs the time taken for the vitreous sheet to reach a given temperature, while the panel as a whole is in itself sufficient to prevent or delay propagation of fire across an opening closed by the panel. Protective strata may be applied to each vitreous ply on its face that will be in contact with the barrier forming material layer to inhibit interaction between the ply and the layer and preserve the transparency (if the ply is transparent) of the ply over an extended period of time.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1976Date of Patent: January 31, 1978Assignee: Glaverbel-MecaniverInventors: Francis Jacquemin, Robert Terneau, Jean-Pierre Voiturier
