A new silver lead phosphovanadate glass die attach material is discussed. Its sintering characteristics are examined by dilatometry and the organic system by thermo gravimetric analysis. Sintering is found to occur at lower temperature than conventional silver glass systems. This is caused by reaction between silver and one of the glass components during heat treatment. The vehicle is found to evaporate faster allowing void free processing for large area dice.
The new glass combined with a more volatile organic system has produced a single pass die attach material which can be fired as low as 360°C.
