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.
