Abstract

A copper-based paste is disclosed for filling vias in, and forming conductive surface patterns on, ceramic substrate packages for semiconductor chip devices. The paste contains copper aluminate powder in proper particle size and weight proportion to achieve grain size and shrinkage control of the via and thick film copper produced by sintering. The shrinkage of the copper material during sintering is closely matched to that of the ceramic substrate.
