Low temperature sealing glass composition

摘要

A low temperature sealing glass composition suitable for sealing integrated circuit alumina packages at temperatures below 400 degrees C. in a short time of about ten minutes. This sealing glass composition is a mixture of a glass powder and 1 to 50% (by weight) of one or more low expansion ceramic powders. The glass powder comprises a lead borate or lead zinc borate glass and the joint addition of Cu2O, Tl2O and F in a range of 6.3 to 20% (by weight) wherein the molar ratio of Cu to Tl to F is in the range between 0.8 Cu: 0.8 Tl: 0.8 F to 1.2 Cu: 1.2 Tl: 1.2 F. The glass in powder form is blended with one or more compatible low expansion ceramic powders including cordierite, zircon, willemite, lead titanate or modified tin oxide.
