摘要:

Although Si3N4ceramics have been developed for engineering applications, such as bearings, Si3N4itself has also many kinds of functions including high thermal conductivity, high electrical insulation, high transparency in visible and infrared light and so on. In this talk, recent development of multifunctional Si3N4ceramics developed by advanced powder processing will be introduced. Si3N4ceramics are expected to be used as a substrate for SiC power modules because of good mechanical properties. Alignment of c-axis of Si3N4is effective in higher thermal conductivity of the Si3N4ceramics because thermal conductivity of c-axis of ?-Si3N4has much higher than that of a-axis. We have fabricated the c-axis oriented Si3N4ceramics using graphene / Si3N4nanocomposite particles by molding in low and static magnetic field. The graphene / Si3N4nanocomposite particles were prepared by mechanical treatment. A slurry composed of the seed particles, α-Si3N4and sintering aid powders was prepared, and then it was molded in the low and static magnetic field. As a result, c-axis of the graphene-coated ?-Si3N4seeds were successfully oriented under the magnetic field of 0.4 T. After firing at high temperature, dense Si3N4ceramics in which c-axis of elongated β-Si3N4grains were well oriented were obtained. We also prepared the transparent and luminescent α-SiAlON ceramics by cyclic CIP and HIP process for high power white LED application alternative to phosphor / resin composites. The developed Ce doped Y-α SiAlON ceramics showed over 60% transparency at 600 nm in wavelength and blue or blue-green emission excited by UV light. The maximum excitation and emission were obtained at 370 and 480 nm, respectively. Transparent Eu doped Ca-α SiAlON ceramics was also developed, of which emission was yellow color by blue light excitation. It was confirmed that advanced powder processing is very important to develop such multifunctional Si3N4ceramics.
