Take Anti-sulfur Measures In The LED Packaging Process In the LED packaging process, the vulcanization phenomenon mainly occurs in the die bonding and dispensing packaging processes, and the vulcanization is mainly caused by silver-containing materials (silver-plated stents and conductive silver glue) and silicone adhesive materials. When silver-containing materials are vulcanized, black silver sulfide will be generated, causing the vulcanized area to turn yellow and black; the vulcanization of silicone rubber materials will cause silica gel [poisoning", which will hinder curing and fail to fully cure. Among them, the poisoning of silicone curing agent: The curing agent of LED encapsulation silicone contains platinum (platinum) complex, and this platinum complex is very easy to poison. The poisoning agent is any kind of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) ), sulfur (S) compounds, once the curing agent is poisoned, the silicone will not be cured completely, which will cause the linear expansion coefficient to be higher and the stress to increase.
Take the SMD lamp bead packaging process as an example, the materials that may be vulcanized during the production process include:
1. In the bonding process, the silver-plated stent is vulcanized, and the stent becomes yellow, black and tarnished, which will reduce reliability;
2. In the solidification process, the silver glue is vulcanized, the silver glue is black, and the color is dim, which will lead to reduced reliability or failure;
3. In the bonding process, the silicon-based bonding adhesive is vulcanized, which will hinder the curing and cannot be fully cured, which will cause the bonding force to decrease or fail;
4. In the dispensing, powder dispensing, and encapsulation processes, the silicon-based dot powder is vulcanized, which will cause curing hindrance, unable to fully cure, and product failure;
5. In the dot powder process, the phosphor contains sulfur, which will hinder the curing and cause the product to fail.
LED packaging factory must pay great attention to the prevention of vulcanization in these two links during the LED production process. The prevention methods are:
1. Avoid exposing the LED to a slightly acidic (PH<7) workshop environment. Nitrogen-containing acid gases will first react with silver and then with sulfur/chlorine/bromine elements to produce black silver sulfide, silver chloride or silver bromide.
2. For the purchased other LED supporting materials, the manufacturer can be required to provide the LED auxiliary material discharge sulfur/bromine/chlorine test report provided by Jinjian to confirm whether it contains sulfur, halogen and other substances to prevent it from chemically or with the LED material. The physical reaction causes the corrosion of the silver plating layer of the LED product, and the performance of the LED silica gel and phosphor material changes, which leads to the failure of the LED photoelectric performance.
3. Use desulfurization gloves, finger cots, and sulfur-free masks; distinguish sulfur-free materials and box clamps; use sulfur-free cleaning agents; use sulfur-containing PCB boards after cleaning and desulfurization; set up a dedicated sulfur-free oven and use the products separately. Bake independently.
4. The substances that are prone to silica gel "poisoning" include: organic compounds containing N, P, S, etc.; heavy metal ion compounds such as Sn, Pb, Hg, Sb, Bi, As, etc.; organic compounds containing unsaturated groups such as ethynyl groups. Pay attention to the following materials:
Organic rubber: sulfur vulcanized rubber such as gloves
Epoxy resin, polyurethane resin: amine, isocyanate curing agent
Comprehensive silicone RTV rubber: especially using Sn catalyst
Soft polyvinyl cyanide: plasticizer, stabilizer
flux
Engineering plastics: flame retardants, enhanced heat-resistant agents, ultraviolet absorbers, etc.
Silver-plated, gold-plated surface (the plating solution during manufacturing is the main reason)
Outgassing generated by the Solder register (caused by heating and curing of silicone)
Vulcanization is an irreversible chemical reaction. Once vulcanization occurs, the product will be scrapped and cannot be recovered. As a professional third-party LED analysis and testing organization, Jinjian Testing LED Laboratory has a large number of professional microstructure testing and analysis equipment and a large number of LED sulfur removal case analysis experience, which can quickly detect the possible sulfur/chlorine/bromine in the LED packaging process To investigate and identify the pollution sources, and provide an optimized plan to reduce millions of losses for packaging manufacturers.
