Abstract:For the problems that the curing time of chip adhesive used for surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices is very long, and its shear strength of the chip with less than 10mm2 areas (be called as small size in the below paper) is very low at present,the thermal stability, material deflation and adhesive composition of Type 988 adhesive are tested and analyzed. The influences of Type 988 adhesive on the shear strength of small size chip and the out band rejection of SAW filter are investigated under the different curing condition.The tested and investigated results show that the curing time could be shorten, the shear strength could meet the requirement of national military standard, and the properties of SAW filters could be enhanced by use of Type 988 adhesive.
