Characterization of Gold-Aluminum Nitride and Gold-Silicon Carbide Interfaces

Aluminum nitride and silicon carbide substrates were screen‐printed with fritless gold and fired at 850°C in air. Interfacial diffusion zones up to 7 αm thick were observed, in which the concentrations of Au, Na impurities, and combined O varied together. Secondary ion mass and photoelectron spectro...

Zusammenfassung:Aluminum nitride and silicon carbide substrates were screen‐printed with fritless gold and fired at 850°C in air. Interfacial diffusion zones up to 7 αm thick were observed, in which the concentrations of Au, Na impurities, and combined O varied together. Secondary ion mass and photoelectron spectroscopy revealed oxidized Al in the gold conductor supported by AIN. It is suggested that enhanced oxidation accompanies the diffusion of Au into the ceramics.
