Overview of sintered nano silver conductive adhesive

Sintered nano silver conductive adhesive is a type of conductive adhesive that utilizesnano silverThe unique surface energy enables sintering of conductive materials at low temperatures. It is mainly composed ofnano-silverComposed of solvents and trace additives, a conductive adhesive with excellent conductivity and thermal conductivity is formed through specific processing techniques. The small size effect of nano silver makes its melting point and sintering temperature much lower than that of bulk silver, allowing sintering to be achieved at lower temperatures, with a thin sintering layer and high thermal conductivity.

Technical principles and characteristics

1. Low temperature sintering technology

Nano silver particles have a large specific surface area and surface energy, allowing sintering to occur at lower temperatures. During the sintering process, the surface of nano silver particles melts, and adjacent particles come into contact with each other to form a sintering neck. As atoms diffuse, the sintering neck continues to grow, ultimately forming a dense sintered body. This process not only reduces the sintering temperature, but also improves the electrical and thermal conductivity of the sintered body.

Meanwhile, the high conductivity of nano silver also ensures the rapid transmission of electronic signals, reducing signal loss and delay.

3. High reliability

The sintered nano silver conductive adhesive maintains stable conductivity and thermal conductivity after multiple cold and hot cycles. The experiment showed that the conductive adhesive only experienced its first failure after 2000 cycles of cold and hot cycles, which is much higher than the 200 cycles of traditional conductive adhesive. In addition, the nano silver sintered layer has lower porosity and higher density, further improving the reliability of the connection.
