Study on properties of the environmental-friendly Sip/Al composites for electronic packaging applications

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A reclaimed environmental-friendly Sip/LD11 (Al-12%Si) composite with volume fraction of 65% was fabricated by squeeze casting technology. The thermo-physical and mechanical properties of Sip/Al composite for electronic packaging application were studied by use of TEM observation, thermal expansion analyzer, laser thermal conduction analyzer and tensile test machine. The results show that the composite was free of porosity and the Si particles distributed uniformly. The coefficient thermal expansion of composite reached 8.1 × 10-6/°C, from 20°C to 50°C and increased with the temperature, also reduced after annealing. The thermal conductivity of casting and annealing treatment were 132.9 W/m·°C and 160.1 W/m·°C, respectively. The flexural strength and specific modulus were moderately high. An electroless nickel surface was established on the composite. It is an excellent composite for electronic packaging application.
