  • This invention relates to a composite copper particle and a process for producing the same.
  • Flake-like copper particles have a large specific surface area and a large contact area between themselves due to their flatness. Therefore, addition of flake-like copper particles to an electroconductive composition improves electric conductivity and allows for viscosity adjustment.
  • the assignee common to this patent application proposes a flake-like copper powder and a conductive paste containing the flake-like copper powder (see Patent Literature 1).
  • Patent Literature 1 discloses a flake-like copper powder having a particle diameter of 10 ⁇ m or less, an SD/D 50 of 0.5 or less (wherein SD is a standard deviation of particle size distribution, and D 50 is a particle diameter at 50% in the cumulative weight-based distribution), and a D 90 /D 10 of 4.0 or less (wherein D 90 is a particle diameter at 90% in the cumulative weight-based distribution, and D 10 is a particle diameter at 10% in the cumulative weight-based distribution).
  • Patent Literature 1 also discloses a flake-like copper powder having a particle diameter of 10 ⁇ m or less, an SD/D 50 of 0.15 to 0.35, and an aspect ratio ([thickness]/[D 50 ] of 0.3 to 0.7.
  • the flake-like copper powder described in Patent Literature 1 allows for forming a fine electrical circuit.
  • Patent Literature 1 JP 2003-119501A
  • An object of the invention is to provide composite copper particles free from the various disadvantages of the aforementioned conventional techniques and a process for making the same.
  • the present invention provides a composite copper particle including a flake-like copper particle and a plurality of inorganic oxide particles which are finer than the flake-like copper particle, the inorganic oxide particles being unevenly distributed on a surface of the flake-like copper particle.
  • the present invention provides a process for producing composite copper particles comprising subjecting a mixed powder of a starting spherical copper powder and a particulate inorganic oxide to a dispersion process using beads thereby plastically flattening the copper particles of the starting copper powder and locating the particulate inorganic oxide on the surface of the flattened copper particles, the particulate inorganic oxide powder having a ratio of a volume cumulative particle diameter D 50 (nm) measured by a dynamic light scattering method to a particle size D BET calculated from its BET specific surface area, D 50 /D BET , of 60 or greater.
  • the composite copper particle of the invention is composed of a copper particle as a matrix and a plurality of inorganic oxide particles combined with the matrix.
  • the copper particle as a matrix is a flake-like copper particle having a flat shape, and the inorganic oxide particles are finer than the flake-like copper particles as a matrix.
  • the composite copper particle of the invention is characterized by the fashion of the inorganic oxide particles being combined with the flake-like matrix copper particle. Specifically, the inorganic oxide particles are unevenly distributed on the surface of the flake-like copper particle. When described as being unevenly distributed on the surface, the inorganic oxide particles are not uniformly distributed on the entire surface of the flake-like copper particle but exist in part of the surface. Thus, the surface of the flake-like copper particle has an area where the inorganic oxide particles are present (hereinafter “composite area”) and an area where the inorganic oxide particles are substantially absent (hereinafter “composite-free area"). When the inorganic oxide particles are unevenly distributed on the surface of the flake-like copper particle, the following advantage is obtained.
  • a coating film of a conductive composition such as a conductive paste, prepared using the composite copper particles of the invention is fired to form, e.g., an electronic circuit

  • the sites at which the composite copper particles are less likely to bind together provide passageways for escape of the gas generated during firing.
  • blistering of an electrode that might occur during firing is prevented effectively, whereby the electronic circuit and the like formed by using the composite copper particles of the invention will be prevented from increasing electric resistivity and have improved surface smoothness.
  • flake-like copper particles having no inorganic oxide particles on their surface are liable to bind together on their flat surfaces, failing to provide a passageway for escape of the gas, which can result in blistering of the electrode during firing.

  • the entire peripheral surface of a composite copper particle is found to be a composite area or, conversely, a composite-free area, the inorganic oxide particles are not described as being unevenly distributed.
  • a plurality of inorganic oxide particles be agglomerated into agglomerates as shown in Fig. 2 as will be described later.
  • the inorganic oxide particles are located on the surface of a flake-like copper particle through an anchor effect in such a fashion that, for example, part of an inorganic oxide particle is embedded into the surface of the flake-like copper particle.
  • the inorganic oxide particles are located on the surface of a flake-like copper particle through the cohesive force (surface energy) produced between the inorganic oxide particle and the flake-like copper particle.
  • a plurality of the inorganic oxide particles are agglomerated by the surface energy generated between the inorganic oxide particles.
  • the composite copper particles of the invention having the inorganic oxide particles distributed unevenly on the surface of a flake-like copper particle can be produced by, for example, the process described infra.
  • the effect of unevenly distributing the inorganic oxide particles on the surface of a flake-like copper particle can be enhanced when the proportion of the inorganic oxide particles in the composite copper particles of the invention ranges from 0.001 mass% to 5.0 mass%, preferably 0.01 mass% to 3.0 mass%, more preferably 0.01 mass% to 2.0 mass%.

  • the inorganic oxide particles do not need to be present inside the flake-like copper particle, which does not mean to exclude the presence of the inorganic oxide particle inside the flake-like copper particle. Nevertheless, the smaller the ratio of the inorganic oxide particles present inside the flake-like copper particle, the better for making the effect of the uneven distribution of the inorganic oxide particles more pronounced. From this standpoint, the ratio of the inorganic oxide particles present inside the flake-like copper particles to the total content of the inorganic oxide particles of the composite copper particles of the invention is preferably 1.0 mass% or less, more preferably 0.7 mass% or less.
  • This ratio can be measured by, for example, elemental mapping of a section of a composite copper particle of the invention.
  • an inorganic oxide particle present inside a flake-like copper particle denotes an inorganic oxide particle that is not at all exposed on the surface of the composite copper particle of the invention.

  • Copper particles tend to have a reduced sintering onset temperature with a decrease in particle size. This tendency also applies to the composite copper particles of the invention. Reduction in sintering onset temperature is undesirable for some applications of the composite copper particles of the invention.
  • the composite copper particles of the invention are protected from reduction of the sintering onset temperature by virtue of the presence of the inorganic oxide particles on the surface of the flake-like matrix copper particles. That is, although the composite copper particles of the invention are microfine particles, the composite copper particles of the invention has approximately the same sintering onset temperature as conventionally used copper particles.
