Abstract

The invention relates to a metallization for a housing, for example for surface wave components, for use in strong magnetic fields as well as a nonmagnetic hermetically sealed cavity housing.

Claims (21)

1. A metallization layer for a ceramic, comprising:

a base layer comprising a metal,

an adhesion layer proximate to the base layer, wherein the adhesion layer comprises palladium and the layer thickness of the adhesion layer is between 0.1 and 5.0 μm,

a solderable layer proximate the adhesion layer made of a non-ferromagnetic material, wherein the material of the adhesion layer is different from the material of the solderable layer, and

an oxidation protection layer arranged over the solderable layer,

wherein the base layer comprises a metal with a melting point of at least 1100° C. and, wherein

the base layer is made of tungsten/molybdenum and the base layer has a layer thickness between 5 and 20 μm;

the solderable layer is made of copper and the solderable layer has a layer thickness between 2 and 15 μm; and

an additional layer is arranged between the solderable layer and the oxidation protection layer and is made of palladium and the additional layer has a layer thickness between 0.5 and 3.0 μm.

2. The metallization layer of claim 1 , wherein

the adhesion layer is made of palladium and has a layer thickness between 0.3 and 1.3 μm.

3. The metallization layer of claim 1 , wherein

the oxidation protection layer is made of gold and/or the oxidation protection layer has a layer thickness between 0.3 and 1.5 μm.

4. The metallization layer of claim 1 , wherein

the base layer is arranged directly on the ceramic and/or the adhesion layer is arranged directly on the base layer and/or the solderable layer is arranged directly on the adhesion layer.

5. The metallization layer of claim 1 , wherein

the oxidation protection layer is arranged directly on the solderable layer.

6. A ceramic comprising a metallization layer according to claim 1 , wherein the ceramic is a HTCC ceramic.

7. A cavity housing for receiving a component, having a bottom part and a cover part, wherein the bottom part and the cover part comprises a ceramic according to claim 6 .

8. The cavity housing of claim 7 , wherein the component is a SAW component.

9. The use of the ceramic of claim 6 for mounting a component by way of a die-bond and/or a wire bond process or by way of flip-chip bonding.
