Abstract

A hermetic sealing cap member capable of suppressing deterioration of characteristics of an electronic component resulting from a sealant such as solder coming into contact with the electronic component in a package is obtained. This hermetic sealing cap, which is a hermetic sealing cap employed for an electronic component storing package for storing an electronic component ( 5, 34 ), comprises a hermetic sealing cap member ( 11, 41 ), a first plating layer ( 12, 42 ) formed at least on a region other than a region of the hermetic sealing cap member formed with a sealant ( 3, 32 ) and a second plating layer ( 13, 43 ), formed on the region of the hermetic sealing cap member on which the sealant is arranged, containing a material superior in wettability with the sealant to the first plating layer.

Claims (37)

1. A hermetic sealing cap employed for an electronic component storing package for storing an electronic component, comprising:

a hermetic sealing cap member;

a first plating layer formed at least on a region other than a region of said hermetic sealing cap member formed with a sealant; and

a second plating layer, formed on the region of said hermetic sealing cap member on which the sealant is arranged, containing a material superior in wettability with said sealant to said first plating layer.

2. The hermetic sealing cap according to claim 1 , wherein

said electronic component storing package includes:

a ceramic substrate, and

a ceramic frame body formed to constitute a storage space on a prescribed region of the surface of said ceramic substrate, and

said hermetic sealing cap member is mounted on the surface of said ceramic frame body through said sealant.

3. The hermetic sealing cap according to claim 1 , wherein

said hermetic sealing cap member includes:

a recess portion, and

flange portions provided on both ends of said recess portion, and

the radius of curvature of sealing side inner corner portions of said flange portions is larger than 0 mm and not more than 0.1 mm.

4. The hermetic sealing cap according to claim 1 , wherein

said hermetic sealing cap member includes:

a recess portion, and

flange portions provided on both ends of said recess portion, and

sealing side inner corner portions of said flange portions are substantially right-angled.

5. The hermetic sealing cap according to claim 3 , wherein

said electronic component storing package includes a ceramic substrate, and

the hermetic sealing cap member having said recess portion is mounted on the surface of said ceramic substrate through said sealant.

6. The hermetic sealing cap according to any of claims 1 to 5 , wherein

said first plating layer is a nickel plating layer, and

said second plating layer is a gold plating layer.

7. The hermetic sealing cap according to any of claims 1 to 5 , wherein

said first plating layer has a larger thickness than said second plating layer.

8. The hermetic sealing cap according to any of claims 1 to 5 , wherein

said sealant includes gold-tin solder.

9. The hermetic sealing cap according to any of claims 1 to 5 , wherein

said hermetic sealing cap member consists of an Fe—Ni—Co alloy.

10. A hermetic sealing cap employed for an electronic component storing package for storing an electronic component, comprising:

a recess portion; and

flange portions provided on both ends of said recess portion said flange portions having a flat surface to face a substrate, wherein

the radius of curvature of sealing side inner corner portions of said flange portions is not more than 0.1 mm.

11. The hermetic sealing cap according to claim 10 , wherein

said hermetic sealing cap consists of an Fe—Ni—Co alloy.
