Abstract

Eutectic bonding of copper to ceramics makes use of a liquid eutectic between copper and oxygen at 1065°C which wets oxide ceramics very well. Upon solidification of the eutectic melt a very strong bond is established which has a strength of about 5×107N/m2. The excellent bond strength gives this technique important applications in electronic packaging and mechanical engineering.
