Abstract Duralcan F3S.xxS is a heat treatable aluminum alloy-matrix gravity composite. The base alloy is similar to Aluminum 359 (Alloy Digest Al-188, July 1969); the discontinuously reinforced composite is silicon carbide. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and compressive strength as well as fracture toughness and fatigue. It also includes information on high temperature performance. Filing Code: AL-329. Producer or source: Alcan Aluminum Corporation.

Die Attach

ABSTRACTSingle crystal silicon carbide (SiC) has such excellent physical, chemical, and electronic properties that SiC based semiconductor electronics can operate at temperatures in excess of 600°C well beyond the high temperature limit for Si based semiconductor devices. SiC semiconductor devices have been demonstrated to be operable at temperatures as high as 600°C, but only in a probe-station environment partially because suitable packaging technology for high temperature (500°C and beyond) devices is still in development. One of the core technologies necessary for high temperature electronic packaging is semiconductor die-attach with low and stable electrical resistance. This paper discusses a low resistance die-attach method and the results of testing carried out at both room temperature and 500°C in air. A 1 mm2 SiC Schottky diode die was attached to aluminum nitride (AlN) and 96% pure alumina ceramic substrates using precious metal based thick-film material. The attached test die using this scheme survived both electronically and mechanically performance and stability tests at 500°C in oxidizing environment of air for 550 hours. The upper limit of electrical resistance of the die-attach interface estimated by forward I-V curves of an attached diode before and during heat treatment indicated stable and low attach-resistance at both room-temperature and 500°C over the entire 550 hours test period. The future durability tests are also discussed.

Biosensor Applications

Silicon Carbide is mainly used for power semiconductor devices fabrication. However, SiC material also offers attractive properties for other types of applications, such as high temperature sensors and biomedical devices. Micro-electrodes arrays are one of the leading biosensor applications. Semi-insulating SiC can be used to implement these devices, offering higher performances than Silicon. In addition, it can be combined with Carbon Nanotubes growth technology to improve the devices sensing performances. Other biosensors were SiC could be used are microfluidic based devices. However, improvement of SiCOI starting material is necessary to fulfill the typical requirements of such applications.

Drilling Technology

While silicon carbide has been an industrial product for over a century, it is only now emerging as the semiconductor of choice for high-power, high-temperature, and high-radiation environments. From electrical switching and sensors for oil drilling technology to all-electric airplanes, SiC is finding a place which is difficult to fill with presently available Si or GaAs technology. In 1824 Jöns Jakob Berzelius published a paper which suggested there might be a chemical bond between the elements carbon and silicon. It is a quirk of history that he was born in 1779 in Linköping, Sweden where he received his early education, and now, 172 years later, Linkoping University is the center of a national program in Sweden to study the properties of SiC as a semiconductor.

Different Content

High-temperature mechanical properties, machinability, oxidation resistance and thermal shock resistance of different content of carbon particles modified silicon carbide composite ceramics (Cp/SiC) prepared by pressureless sintering techniques were studied. Adhesion of Cp/SiC to melted glass under 1000°C was also observed. The results showed that 15-Cp/SiC had the optimum machinability and it also did not adhere to melted glass at high temperature. And flexural strength, hardness, and fracture toughness of 15-Cp/SiC is 136.5MPa, 274.6kgf/mm2, 2.58MPa•m1/2 respectively. The good performance of Cp/SiC made it possible to be used as high temperature glass fixture, which means that Cp/SiC can not only improve the service life of fixture materials, but also broaden the application fields of SiC ceramics.
