本研究主要目的在探討銀膏中添加硼矽玻璃在束縛燒結條件下，對緻密化及燒結應力的影響。實驗上以非等溫燒結方式透過雷射系統量測，在硼矽玻璃軟化前(710℃)對銀的燒結為束縛物的角色，這使得起始燒結溫度隨玻璃添加量增加而延緩；但在硼矽玻璃軟化後對銀燒結體的緻密化是隨玻璃增加而趨於緻密，若從晶粒成長隨密度變化分析知道，緻密度的提升主要是由於硼矽玻璃軟化後黏滯流動的結果。
同樣藉由雷射系統量測，可得硼矽玻璃對銀在束縛燒結下所產生的平面應力是隨玻璃添加量增加而降低，在750℃時平面應力從純銀的1.5MPa降至含30vol%硼矽玻璃的0.4MPa。另外透過熱機械分析儀在週期性加壓的方式下可量得銀膏添加硼矽玻璃的單軸向黏度值，並推測其剪黏度及燒結驅動力。由剪黏度及燒結驅動力分析知，硼矽玻璃的軟化能有效地鬆弛燒結張應力的影響，使得燒結驅動力的作用能有機會大於束縛燒結張應力的影響，這將使得銀燒結體能在束縛燒結下達到緻密。
