Abstract

Glass-ceramic packages for integrated circuits containing multi-layer, interconnected thick film wiring patterns are obtained by co-sintering a glass-ceramic composite and copper, silver, palladium, gold, based conductors at temperatures not exceeding about 1000.degree. C. The dielectric systems include composites of borosilicate glasses and crystalline fillers which are fabricated by either mixing glass frit and the filler or by a sol-gel coating process. The package is fabricated using a tape specifically designed for clean binder burnout in a reducing atmosphere at low temperatures and also for superior mechanical and thermal properties. Metallization, applied by the thick film screening technique, utilized herein has glass-ceramic bonding agents designed to promote adhesion yet maintain the desired electrical properties and post-processing characteristics.
