Abstract
A method of adhesion strength test for thick films has been developed. Adhesion strength of silver-glass thick-film/alumina substrate was ob tained without soldering. Three types of adhesion strengths were intro duced: prefracture adhesion strength; fracture process adhesion streng th; and total adhesion strength, which is the sum of the other two adh esion strengths. The relation between adhesion strengths and microstru cture was discussed. Strength of glass, thickness of glass layer, and densification of silver powder were proposed as possible factors respo nsible for the adhesion strengths. A fracture mechanism in thick films was suggested from analysis of adhesion strength and observation of m icrostructure. Adhesion strength was evaluated using the Weibull distr ibution function.
