Active brazing of ceramic to metal is reviewed in this paper. As one of the key aspect in joint techniques, active brazing has been developed to simplify the manufacturing procedure of brazed joints between ceramic and metal. The active filler metal includes Ag-Cu-Ti series, Cu-Ti series, Co-Ti series and so on. The active filler metal which supplies the chemical bonds between ceramic and metal, enhances the wetting of filler metal on ceramic surface and eliminates the need for metallization treatments. The residual stress caused by difference of coefficient of thermal expansion between ceramic and metal, holds a direct influence on the bonding strength and even results in a fracture. Good joints of ceramic to metal promote the miniaturization and simplicity of electronic components with multifunction.
