Abstract

Methods for attachment of a die to a substrate are disclosed. In certain examples, the method comprises disposing a capped nanomaterial on a substrate, disposing a die on the disposed capped nanomaterial, drying the disposed capped nanomaterial and the disposed die, and sintering the dried disposed die and the dried capped nanomaterial at a temperature of 300° C. or less to attach the die to the substrate.

Claims (10)

1. A method of attaching a die to a substrate, the method comprising:

disposing a nano-silver paste on a substrate, the nano-silver paste including silver particles comprising a capping agent;

disposing a die on the disposed nano-silver paste;

drying the disposed nano-silver paste and the disposed die; and

sintering the dried disposed die and the dried nano-silver paste at a temperature of between about 200° C. and about 300° C. to attach the die to the substrate.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the capping agent is present at about 10 weight percent to about 15 weight percent based on the weight of the silver particles.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising dispersing the silver particles in a solvent prior to disposition of the nano-silver paste on the substrate.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising removing the capping agent from the silver particles during the sintering step.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the capping agent is an organic amine, a thiol or a pyridine based capping agent.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the capping agent comprises hexadecylamine.
