Lead-free, pressureless paste based on
nano-silver technology provides a cost-friendly option to enhance
high-power semiconductor performance
Kyocera America, Inc., Chemical Sales Division, today announced
the U.S. introduction of its environmentally-friendly XT2773R7
Silver Sinter Paste, a proprietary formulation specifically
developed to deliver a wider range of benefits and performance
characteristics compared to high-lead solders. Kyocera’s lead-free,
pressureless Silver Sinter Paste exhibits excellent thermal and
electrical performance, plus strong adhesion to bare copper, making
it ideal for high-reliability applications in which heat
dissipation is crucial — including power semiconductors, automotive
modules and high-brightness light emitting diodes (LEDs).
“High-power devices such as insulated-gate bipolar transistors
(IGBTs), LED power sources and automotive modules have hit a
performance ceiling due to the limited thermal dissipation offered
by traditional power die attach materials,” said Bob Whisler,
president of Kyocera America, Inc. “Kyocera’s Silver Sinter Paste
is the solution that will help drive technology to the next level
by enabling customers to overcome ongoing technical hurdles and
maximize package performance.”
Based on nano-silver technology, Kyocera’s Silver Sinter Paste
demonstrates a thermal conductivity of more than 200 W/mK, and
excellent die-shear adhesion to bare copper and silver- and
gold-plated surfaces. Compared to standard solders and electrically
conductive die-attach pastes, Kyocera’s Silver Sinter Paste offers
more than three times the thermal conductivity. Moreover, through
the utilization of a novel resin-dispersion system, the paste shows
excellent interface reliability in the most demanding
applications.
The semiconductor industry is making every effort to eliminate
high-lead solder in its products, where feasible, due to
environmental and health concerns. Many semiconductor devices serve
essential safety purposes in automotive and industrial
applications. Until now, high-lead alloys — which offer a high
melting point and thermal conductivity — were considered necessary
to guarantee the required level of reliability. By leveraging the
unique properties of nano silver, Kyocera’s solution to further
enhance semiconductor performance offers a low-temperature,
pressureless silver solder option that enhances the performance of
high-power semiconductor devices, such as gallium nitride (GaN) and
silicon carbide (SiC).
Kyocera is actively engaged in the development of
environmentally friendly products and strives to reduce the use of
environmentally-harmful materials and processes in the industries
it supports.
Kyocera’s XT2773R7 Silver Sinter Paste is manufactured in
Kyocera Chemical Corporation’s Kawasaki, Japan factory, and is
already in use by customers worldwide. Kyocera’s Silver Sinter
Paste is now available to U.S. customers in both sample and bulk
delivery options.
Kyocera America, Inc. will be exhibiting at the 2015 IEEE MTT-S
International Microwave Symposium (IMS) in Phoenix from May 19-21
in booth #233. Please contact Iris Labadie for more information at
858.614.2592.

About Kyocera
San Diego-based Kyocera America, Inc. provides
high-reliability ceramic packages, complex modules, and contract
assembly services for numerous electronics markets and
applications, with customers in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. It is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Kyocera International, Inc., the North
American holding company for Kyocera Corporation.
Kyocera Chemical Corporation, headquartered in Tokyo,
joined the Kyocera Group after Kyocera’s 2002 merger with Toshiba
Chemical Corporation, founded in 1974. Kyocera Chemical Corporation
specializes in organic chemical products, varnishes, resins,
adhesives, molding compounds, thermo-setting sealing, and
semiconductor assembly materials.
Kyocera Corporation (NYSE:KYO) (TOKYO:6971), the parent
and global headquarters of the Kyocera Group, was founded in 1959
as a producer of fine (or “advanced”) ceramics. Kyocera specializes
in combining these engineered materials with metals and integrating
them with other technologies to produce microelectronic packages
and substrates, electronic components, cutting tools, industrial
components, solar power generating systems, printers, copiers, and
mobile phones. During the year ended March 31, 2015, the company’s
net sales totaled 1.53 trillion yen (approx. USD12.7 billion).
Kyocera appears on the latest listing of the “Top 100 Global
Innovators” by Thomson Reuters, and is ranked #552 on Forbes
magazine’s 2015 “Global 2000” listing of the world’s largest
publicly traded companies.
