Embodiment
Below, referring to figs. 1 to Fig. 3, one execution mode of fuse involved in the present invention is described.
As shown in Figure 1 to Figure 3, the fuse system 1 of present embodiment possesses: insulative substrate 2; Pair of electrodes 3, is formed in insulative substrate 2; Metal Melting cortina 4, for the banded and electric conducting material of its two ends directly or via other is connected with pair of electrodes 3; Low melting point parts 5, at least mid portion of covering metal fuse film 4 and arranging, and formed by the metal material of fusing point lower than Metal Melting cortina 4; And resistance body 6, be formed in insulative substrate 2 by the resistance material generated heat by being energized, and be connected with pair of electrodes 3.
Above-mentioned Metal Melting cortina 4 has the narrow width part 4a formed than other parts or the narrow mode of electrode 3 with width.That is, narrow width part 4a is the necking part that live width attenuates locally, and the part for fusing when low melting point parts 5 are melted.
Above-mentioned low melting point parts 5 are formed in the mode that its width is wider than narrow width part 4a, and are directly fixed in insulative substrate 2 by binding agent S.Specifically, low melting point parts 5 are bonded in insulative substrate 2 by binding agent S in the both sides of narrow width part 4a.That is, low melting point parts 5 are formed as the H type being equipped with a pair recess 5a in the both sides of narrow width part 4a, and are bonded in insulative substrate 2 by the binding agent S coating recess 5a.
The film that above-mentioned Metal Melting cortina 4 and electrode 3 are the one film forming by sputtering.Such as, the Cu film that Metal Melting cortina 4 and electrode 3 are the sputtering and film forming by using Cu sputtering target, such as its thickness is less than 3 μm.
Above-mentioned insulative substrate 2 is such as the ceramic substrates such as AlN.
Above-mentioned resistance body 6 is the such as TaSi etc. of film forming by sputtering, and the resistive film for being generated heat by resistance heating when being energized.
One side of pair of electrodes 3 is connected with resistance body 6 via Metal Melting cortina 4.That is, one end of Metal Melting cortina 4 is connected with the rectangular electrode 3 of the end side being disposed in insulative substrate 2, and the other end of Metal Melting cortina 4 is connected to one end of resistance body 6.That is, the other end of Metal Melting cortina 4 is connected to electrode 3 via electric conducting material and resistance body 6.Further, the other end of resistance body 6 is connected to the electrode 3 of another side being disposed in insulative substrate 2.So, the opposing party of a side of pair of electrodes 3, Metal Melting cortina 4, resistance body 6 and pair of electrodes 3 is electrically connected in the mode of series connection successively.
In above-mentioned pair of electrodes 3, block electrode terminal 7 is engaged respectively by welding etc.
Above-mentioned low melting point parts 5, can adopt the alloy of such as Ag/Sn/Cu, Sn/Pb, Ag/Sn, Au/Sn/Cu or Au/Sn etc.These low melting point parts 5 are set as that its thickness is significantly thicker than the Metal Melting cortina 4 being disposed in bottom, are namely set as the thickness of about 10 times.
In the fuse 1 of present embodiment, when electric current flows through between pair of electrodes 3, the resistance body 6 be connected in series is resistively heated and generates heat.Now sent heat is conducted to insulative substrate 2, thus low melting point parts 5 are also subject to heat.If the electric current flow through between pair of electrodes 3 is comparatively large, and the heating of above-mentioned resistance body 6 uprises and the temperature of insulative substrate 2 exceedes the fusing point of low melting point parts 5, then low melting point parts 5 melting by the heat from insulative substrate 2.Further, the narrow width part 4a being positioned at the Metal Melting cortina 4 below low melting point parts 5 is fused by the low melting point parts 5 be melted.That is, if flow through excessive electric current between pair of electrodes 3, then make low melting point parts 5 melting by the resistance body 6 after high temperature, and Metal Melting cortina 4 is fused.
So in the fuse 1 of present embodiment, low melting point parts 5 are formed as its width wider than narrow width part 4a, and be directly fixed in insulative substrate 2 by binding agent S, therefore, no matter whether electrode 3 is electrically connected with Metal Melting cortina 4, low melting point parts 5 melt mainly through conducting next heat from insulative substrate 2, and the narrow width part 4a be positioned at below low melting point parts 5 is fused.That is, low melting point parts 5 are by conducting to the heat of insulative substrate 2 and melting from other the position (being resistance body 6 in present embodiment) of carrying out generating heat, and the melting not by the resistance heating of Metal Melting cortina 4 or low melting point parts 5.
So, low melting point parts 5 are directly bonded in insulative substrate 2 by binding agent S, therefore be electrically connected without the need to low melting point parts 5 are engaged on Metal Melting cortina 4 by ultrasonic bonding or crimping etc., and the thickness of metal fuse film 4 can not be relied on and with high bond strength, low melting point parts 5 are fixed on metal film 4.And, because low melting point parts 5 do not engage with the Metal Melting cortina 4 being connected to electrode 3, and be fixed in insulative substrate 2, therefore, it is possible to by the thermal impact carrying out self-electrode 3 caused such as welding when being reduced in assembling fuse, and the phenomenon of low melting point parts 5 fusing when assembling can be suppressed, and overall miniaturization can be realized.In addition, binding agent S to spread upon in insulative substrate 2 but not on Metal Melting cortina 4, is therefore difficult to have an impact when 4 melting of Metal Melting cortina.
In addition, low melting point parts 5 are bonded in insulative substrate 2 in the both sides of narrow width part 4a by binding agent S, and therefore low melting point parts 5 can melting from the both sides of narrow width part 4a, thus reliably makes narrow width part 4a fuse.
And, low melting point parts 5 are formed as the H type being equipped with a pair recess 5a in the both sides of narrow width part 4a, and be bonded in insulative substrate 2 by the binding agent S coating recess 5a, therefore, owing to being provided with binding agent S in the mode of point-like on a pair recess 5a, therefore when Metal Melting cortina 4 fuses, binding agent S is difficult to flow to Metal Melting cortina 4 side, thus can suppress the impact on fusing further.Further, because low melting point parts 5 are formed as H type, be therefore pulled to both sides when melting, thus become and easily fuse in central authorities.
Further, Metal Melting cortina 4 is film forming by sputtering, therefore, the heat carrying out self-electrode 3 during assembling can be made more to be difficult to conduct to low melting point parts 5 by the Metal Melting cortina 4 thinner than the film formed based on plating or evaporation.
And, insulative substrate 2 possesses the resistance body 6 being connected to pair of electrodes 3, and a side of pair of electrodes 3 is connected with resistance body 6 via Metal Melting cortina 4, therefore when overcurrent flows through, the heat of the resistance body 6 of heating conducts to low melting point parts 5 via insulative substrate 2, thus its melting can be made, and Metal Melting cortina 4 is fused.Further, resistance body 6 and fuse mechanism can be made to be integrally formed as monolithic and to make it miniaturized, and assembly number of packages can be reduced, and narrower setting area can be tackled.
