Method for bonding a ceramic to a metal with a copper-containing shim

A method is provided for the bonding of ceramics to metals for the production of semiconductor packages. The method includes forming a copper-copper oxide eutectic on a substantially planar copper shim. The shim and its copper-copper oxide eutectic are placed in contact with a ceramic layer and meta...

Zusammenfassung:A method is provided for the bonding of ceramics to metals for the production of semiconductor packages. The method includes forming a copper-copper oxide eutectic on a substantially planar copper shim. The shim and its copper-copper oxide eutectic are placed in contact with a ceramic layer and metal layer. The assembly, so formed, is then heated to a temperature at least equal to the melting point of the eutectic and no greater than the melting temperature of copper. Upon cooling of the eutectic, a bond forms bond the ceramic layer to the metal layer.
