Description

  The present invention relates to a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, a method for processing an adherend using the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, and the like.

  The recent demand for electronic components is miniaturization and refinement of the components themselves. For example, in ceramic capacitors, miniaturization represented by so-called “0603” or so-called “0402” and high stacking greatly exceeding several hundred layers. The increase in capacity due to the increase is becoming more prominent. In particular, in the field of lamination of ceramic pre-fired sheets (green sheets) such as ceramic capacitors, precision during processing has been demanded due to miniaturization and precision.

  For example, as an example of a manufacturing process of a ceramic capacitor, (1) an electrode printing process on a green sheet, (2) a lamination process, (3) a pressing process (pressing press process), (4) a cutting process, 5) There is a firing step, and the laminating step (2) and the pressurizing step (3) are repeated a predetermined number of times, and then the manufacturing step moves to the cutting step (4).

  In such a process, the required accuracy includes, for example, the accuracy of electrode printing in the electrode printing step (1) on the green sheet, and the accuracy of the electrode position in the lamination step (2). In the pressurizing step (3), the green sheet is deformed by pressurization and the electrode position is prevented from being displaced due to displacement, and in the cutting step (4), the accuracy due to cutting is cited. It is done. If even one of these processes is inaccurate, the product will be defective and productivity will be reduced. Among them, the electrode printing process (1), the lamination process (2), and the cutting process (4) on the green sheet require mechanical accuracy, and can be handled by improving the device and improving accuracy. Is possible.

  In the laminating step (2), a method of using an adhesive tape or a sheet is utilized particularly from the viewpoints of miniaturization and adhesion of the green sheet at the subsequent cutting step. As such an adhesive tape or sheet, it has adhesive strength at room temperature, and firmly adheres (fixes) the lamination process, pressurization process, and cutting process, and after the cutting process, the adhesive tape or sheet is a heat release type In the case of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, a material having a function capable of being peeled off by heating, in the case of an ultraviolet curable pressure-sensitive adhesive tape by irradiation with ultraviolet light, and in the case of a weak pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, a physical force is used. Therefore, as the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape or sheet, for example, a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet (for example, see Patent Documents 1 to 5) provided with a heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on at least one side of a substrate, or an ultraviolet curable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet In addition, weak adhesive tapes are used. Specifically, in the case of a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is a combination of adhesiveness before heating and peelability after heating. By foaming or expanding the heat-expandable microspheres in the expandable adhesive layer, the surface of the heat-expandable adhesive layer changes to an uneven shape, so that the adhesion area (contact area) with the adherend (article) The adhesive force can be reduced by the decrease, and thus the adherend can be easily peeled (separated).

  As such a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape or sheet, a method using a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is most popular because it is adhesive and can be peeled off without stress on a part after cutting.

  However, when the conventional heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is used, it adheres only by light contact with the adherend, and if it is misaligned, if it tries to peel off again for alignment, the adherend There was a problem of damaging it. Therefore, the present inventors include a filler in the thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, together with a foaming agent such as thermally expandable microspheres, and the particle size and blending of the foaming agent and the filler. By adjusting the number of copies, the thickness of the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, etc., and providing unevenness on the surface of the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, it does not adhere only by light contact with the adherend, but it is suitable for adhesion by applying a load. We have developed a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that can develop However, in such a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, there are limitations on the particle size of the foaming agent and filler such as thermally expandable microspheres, the thickness of the thermally expandable adhesive layer, and the like.

  In the cutting step (4), heating may be performed in order to improve cutting accuracy. However, a normal heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet satisfies both high-temperature adhesive strength and peelability after processing. It was difficult. Therefore, the present inventors use an acrylic polymer in which a specific amount of a monomer having a specific nitrogen atom content is used as a polymer (adhesive polymer) constituting the adhesive component of the thermally expandable adhesive layer. A heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has been developed that has good releasability and can maintain adhesive strength even at high temperatures. However, since this heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has adhesive force even at room temperature (23 ° C.), it is difficult to perform alignment again if the alignment is incorrect.

  In this way, in the processing process of electronic parts that require higher precision, the adhesive force is small at the initial stage of pasting, and it can be peeled off for positioning to perform positioning again. There is a need for a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that maintains good adhesive strength at high temperatures (high adhesive strength) during subsequent processing, can be firmly fixed even at high temperatures, and can be easily peeled off after processing. ing.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that has a small initial adhesive force when affixed and can maintain a good adhesive force even at a high temperature, and the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet. It is in providing the processing method of the to-be-adhered body used.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that does not limit the particle size of the foaming agent or solid in the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the thickness of the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive. The object is to provide a method for processing an adherend using a sheet.

  As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the present inventors have found that, at normal temperature (23 ° C.), the shear modulus is high, and heating is performed at a temperature of 95 ° C. or higher and lower than the foaming start temperature of the foaming agent. When the polymer having the property of decreasing the elastic modulus is used as a polymer constituting the adhesive component of the heat-expandable adhesive layer in the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has little or no adhesiveness at room temperature. Although it does not have at all, it discovered that it can express adhesiveness by heating to the temperature below the temperature which heat-foams at the time of use, and can fix firmly at the time of lamination | stacking or a cutting | disconnection. The present invention has been completed based on these findings.

That is, the present invention is a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet in which a heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing a foaming agent is formed on at least one surface of a substrate, and is pressure-bonded to a polyethylene terephthalate film (thickness: 25 μm) at 23 ° C. (Pressure: 1.47 × 10 ⁵ Pa, time: 1 minute) and then the adhesive force of the thermally expandable adhesive layer at 23 ° C. (peel angle: 180 °, when left in an atmosphere at 23 ° C. for 30 minutes) (Tensile speed: 300 mm / min) is 0.5 N / 20 mm or less, and after pressure bonding (pressure: 1.47 × 10 ⁵ Pa, time: 1 minute) to a polyethylene terephthalate film (thickness: 25 μm) at 95 ° C. The adhesive strength (peel angle: 180 °, tensile speed: 300 mm / min) of the thermally expandable adhesive layer at 90 ° C. when left for 30 minutes in an atmosphere of 90 ° C. is 2.0 N / 20 Providing heat-peelable adhesive sheet, characterized in that at least m. As the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, it is preferable that the foaming start temperature of the foaming agent in the thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer exceeds 95 ° C.

  The present invention is also a method of processing an adherend using a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, wherein the adherend is bonded to the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, and the adherend is processed. Provided is a method for processing an adherend. As the adherend, electronic parts can be preferably used. Further, as a method of processing the adherend, it is preferable that the adherend is a green sheet for a ceramic capacitor and includes a green sheet laminating step.

  The present invention further provides an electronic component or a multilayer ceramic capacitor manufactured using the method for processing an adherend.

  According to the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention, the initial adhesive force during application is small, and after application, good adhesive force can be maintained even at high temperatures. Of course, after processing, the processed product can be easily peeled off by heating. Furthermore, there are no restrictions on the particle size of the foaming agent and solid matter in the thermally expandable adhesive layer and the thickness of the thermally expandable adhesive layer.

  Therefore, when an adherend is processed using the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention, it is possible to effectively improve productivity by improving component accuracy, dealing with downsizing, and improving yield prevention. it can.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings as necessary. In addition, the same code | symbol may be attached | subjected to the same member, a part, etc.
[Heat-release adhesive sheet]
As shown in FIG. 1, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention has a base material and a heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive containing heat-expandable microspheres as a foaming agent formed on at least one surface of the base material. The heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer was bonded to a polyethylene terephthalate film (thickness: 25 μm) at 23 ° C. (pressure: 1.47 × 10 ⁵ Pa, time: 1 minute), Adhesive strength at 23 ° C. (peel angle: 180 °, tensile speed: 300 mm / min; sometimes referred to as “low temperature adhesive strength”) when left in an atmosphere at 30 ° C. for 30 minutes is 0.5 N / 20 mm or less And after being pressure-bonded (pressure: 1.47 × 10 ⁵ Pa, time: 1 minute) to a polyethylene terephthalate film (thickness: 25 μm) at 95 ° C., and then left at 90 ° C. for 30 minutes at 90 ° C. Sticky It has a characteristic that the adhesion (peel angle: 180 °, tensile speed: 300 mm / min; sometimes referred to as “high temperature adhesive force”) is 2.0 N / 20 mm or more. FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view partially showing an example of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, 2 is a substrate, 3 is a rubber-like organic elastic layer, 4 is a heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and 5 is a separator (release liner). The thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 has a low-temperature adhesive force of 0.5 N / 20 mm or less and a high-temperature adhesive force of 2.0 N / 20 mm or more.

  A heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a base material 2 and a thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 formed on one surface (one surface) of the base material 2, and the base material. 2 and the thermally expandable adhesive layer 4 are provided with a rubber-like organic elastic layer 3, and the thermally expandable adhesive layer 4 has a form protected by a separator 5, The heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 has characteristics that the low-temperature pressure-sensitive adhesive strength is 0.5 N / 20 mm or less and the high-temperature pressure-sensitive adhesive strength is 2.0 N / 20 mm or more.

  Thus, since the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention has a characteristic that the low-temperature pressure-sensitive adhesive layer has a low-temperature adhesive strength of 0.5 N / 20 mm or less, the initial pressure-sensitive adhesive force when applied is It is getting smaller. Therefore, when pasting, alignment is performed at room temperature (for example, a temperature of 35 ° C. or lower). At this time, even if the alignment is incorrect, it can be peeled off and alignment can be easily performed again. In addition, since it has the property that the high-temperature adhesive strength is 2.0 N / 20 mm or more, it can be firmly attached by applying at a high temperature. You can maintain power. Therefore, after performing alignment accurately, by crimping in a heated or heated state (of course, it is important that the temperature is lower than the foaming start temperature of the foaming agent in the thermally expandable adhesive layer) The adherend can be strongly attached to the thermally expandable adhesive layer. Moreover, even after being firmly attached to the adherend, even if exposed to high temperatures in a cutting process or the like, it is possible to maintain or maintain a good adhesive force, and maintain or hold the adhesive state firmly and adhere The body can be fixed. Therefore, it is important that the temperature is lower than the foaming start temperature of the foaming agent in the thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer once in the process where adhesiveness is required in the lamination process or the cutting process. And can be cooled down to room temperature if necessary) and then laminated and cut, so that it can be firmly fixed at the time of lamination and cutting. Cutting can be performed.

  As described above, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention has low adhesiveness (low adhesion) required at the time of sticking and high adhesiveness (high adhesion) required at the time of lamination and cutting processes. Both can be easily applied to the adherend with excellent positional accuracy, and after being firmly attached, it can be firmly fixed even when exposed to high temperatures. In this state, processing such as lamination and cutting can be performed. Therefore, the accuracy of the processed product or part that has been processed can be improved, and it is possible to cope with downsizing, and further, yield can be prevented and productivity can be improved.

  Of course, after processing, the processed product can be easily peeled from the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet by heat treatment.

[Base material]
The substrate can be used as a support matrix such as a thermally expandable adhesive layer. Examples of the base material include paper base materials such as paper; fiber base materials such as cloth, non-woven fabric and net; metal base materials such as metal foil and metal plate; plastic base materials such as plastic films and sheets. Rubber base materials such as rubber sheets; foams such as foam sheets, and laminates thereof (in particular, laminates of plastic base materials and other base materials, and laminates of plastic films (or sheets)); Etc.) can be used. As a base material, what is excellent in heat resistance which does not melt at the heat processing temperature of a thermally expansible adhesive layer is preferable from points, such as the handleability after a heating. As the substrate, a plastic substrate such as a plastic film or sheet can be suitably used. As a material in such a plastic film or sheet, for example, an α-olefin such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), ethylene-propylene copolymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) or the like is used as a monomer component. Olefin-based resin: Polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT); polyvinyl chloride (PVC); polyphenylene sulfide (PPS); polyamide (nylon), wholly aromatic Examples thereof include amide resins such as polyamide (aramid); polyetheretherketone (PEEK). These materials can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  In addition, when a plastic-type base material is used as a base material, you may control deformability, such as elongation rate, by extending | stretching process etc. Moreover, as a base material, when using a radiation curable substance for a thermally expansible adhesive layer etc., it is preferable to use what does not inhibit transmission of a radiation.

  The thickness of the substrate can be appropriately selected according to the strength, flexibility, purpose of use, and the like. For example, it is generally 1000 μm or less (for example, 1 to 1000 μm), preferably 1 to 500 μm, more preferably 3 to 3 μm. Although it is 300 micrometers, especially about 5-250 micrometers, it is not limited to these. In addition, the base material may have a single layer form or may have a laminated form.

  In order to improve the adhesion with the thermally expandable adhesive layer, etc., the surface of the base material is subjected to conventional surface treatments such as corona treatment, chromic acid treatment, ozone exposure, flame exposure, high-voltage impact exposure, and ionizing radiation treatment. An oxidation treatment or the like by a physical or physical method may be performed, or a coating treatment or the like by a primer may be performed. Moreover, in order to give peelability with a thermally expansible adhesive layer etc., the coating process by release agents, such as silicone resin and a fluorine resin, etc. may be given, for example.

  Note that a thermally expandable adhesive layer is provided on at least one surface (one surface or both surfaces) of the substrate. Moreover, it can also be set as the form which embed | buried the base material inside the thermally expansible adhesive layer.

[Heat-expandable adhesive layer]
The heat-expandable adhesive layer has a low-temperature adhesive force [that is, a polyethylene terephthalate film (thickness: 25 μm) at 23 ° C., pressure: 1.47 × 10 ⁵ Pa (1.5 kgf / cm ² ), time: 1 min. After pressure-bonding under pressure-bonding conditions and leaving it to stand at 23 ° C. for 30 minutes, the adhesive strength when measured at 23 ° C. under conditions of peel angle: 180 ° and tensile speed: 300 mm / min] is 0.5 N / 20 mm or less (preferably 0.3 N / 20 mm or less, more preferably 0.1 N / 20 mm or less) and high-temperature adhesive strength [that is, polyethylene terephthalate film (thickness: 25 μm) at 95 ° C. And pressure: 1.47 × 10 ⁵ Pa, time: 1 minute under pressure bonding conditions, and further allowed to stand in an atmosphere at 90 ° C. for 30 minutes. The adhesive force when measured under the conditions of the angle of 180 ° and the tensile speed of 300 mm / min] is 2.0 N / 20 mm or more (preferably 2.5 N / 20 mm or more, more preferably 3.0 N / 20 mm or more). It has certain characteristics.

The heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having such a low-temperature pressure-sensitive adhesive force or high-temperature pressure-sensitive adhesive force is not particularly limited as long as it is a heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in which the low-temperature pressure-sensitive adhesive force or high-temperature pressure-sensitive adhesive force falls within the above range. After or after drying, the shear modulus in the unfoamed state (23 ° C.) is high, and the shear modulus in the unfoamed state decreases when heated to a temperature of 95 ° C. or higher and lower than the foaming start temperature of the foaming agent. And a heat-expandable adhesive layer using a polymer (thermoplastic polymer) as a base polymer. Specifically, as the heat-expandable adhesive layer, for example, after curing or after drying, the shear elastic modulus (23 ° C.) in an unfoamed state is 7 × 10 ⁶ Pa or more (preferably 1 × 10 ⁷ Pa or more). ) And after curing or drying, the shear elastic modulus (95 ° C.) in an unfoamed state is less than 7 × 10 ⁶ Pa (preferably 5 × 10 ⁶ Pa or less). An expandable adhesive layer can be used suitably.

  In addition, the shear elastic modulus described in this specification means the shear storage elastic modulus. Although it does not restrict | limit especially as a measuring method of the shear elastic modulus (shear storage elastic modulus) of a thermally expansible adhesive layer, The well-known thru | or usual dynamic viscoelastic characteristic measuring method is employable. Specifically, a trade name “ARES” manufactured by Rheometric Co., Ltd. can be used as the dynamic viscoelasticity measuring apparatus. As measurement conditions, the temperature was 23 ° C. or 95 ° C., measurement frequency: 1 Hz, sample thickness (thickness of the thermally expandable adhesive layer): about 2.0 mm, strain: 0.1% (23 ° C. ) Or 0.3% (95 ° C.), plate: conditions for a parallel plate jig having a diameter of 7.9 mmφ can be employed.

  The shear modulus of the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is determined based on the type and content of the base polymer and additives (crosslinking agent, tackifier, etc.) in the pressure-sensitive adhesive forming the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and the foaming agent (heat It can be adjusted according to the type and content of the expandable microspheres.

  Such a heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer contains at least a pressure-sensitive adhesive for imparting tackiness and a foaming agent for imparting thermal expansibility. Therefore, for example, when a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is adhered to an adherend (for example, a member or component such as a semiconductor wafer) using a heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can be used at any time. The layer is heated to foam and / or expand a foaming agent (such as thermally expandable microspheres), whereby the thermally expandable adhesive layer expands, and this expansion causes the thermally expandable adhesive layer and the adherend. The adhesive area (contact area) with the heat-expandable adhesive layer decreases, and the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can be easily peeled off from the adherend. In addition, in the foaming agent which is not microencapsulated, there are cases where good peelability cannot be expressed stably.

  The foaming agent used in the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is not particularly limited, but heat-expandable microspheres can be suitably used. A foaming agent can be used individually or in combination of 2 or more types. The heat-expandable microsphere can be appropriately selected from known heat-expandable microspheres. As the thermally expandable microsphere, a foaming agent that is encapsulated in a microcapsule can be suitably used. Examples of such thermally expandable microspheres include microspheres in which substances such as isobutane, propane, and pentane that are easily gasified and expanded by heating are encapsulated in an elastic shell. The shell is often formed of a hot-melt material or a material that is destroyed by thermal expansion. Examples of the substance forming the shell include vinylidene chloride-acrylonitrile copolymer, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl butyral, polymethyl methacrylate, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinylidene chloride, and polysulfone. Thermally expandable microspheres can be produced by a conventional method such as a coacervation method or an interfacial polymerization method. Examples of thermally expandable microspheres include commercial products such as “Matsumoto Microsphere” (manufactured by Matsumoto Yushi Seiyaku Co., Ltd.).

  In the present invention, as the foaming agent, foaming agents other than the thermally expandable microspheres can also be used. As such a foaming agent, various foaming agents such as various inorganic foaming agents and organic foaming agents can be appropriately selected and used. Typical examples of the inorganic foaming agent include ammonium carbonate, ammonium hydrogen carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, ammonium nitrite, sodium borohydride, various azides and the like. Representative examples of organic foaming agents include, for example, water; chlorofluorinated alkane compounds such as trichloromonofluoromethane and dichloromonofluoromethane; azobisisobutyronitrile, azodicarbonamide, and barium azodi. Azo compounds such as carboxylate; hydrazine compounds such as p-toluenesulfonyl hydrazide, diphenylsulfone-3,3'-disulfonyl hydrazide, 4,4'-oxybis (benzenesulfonyl hydrazide), allyl bis (sulfonyl hydrazide); p- Semicarbazide compounds such as toluylenesulfonyl semicarbazide and 4,4′-oxybis (benzenesulfonyl semicarbazide); Triazole compounds such as 5-morpholyl-1,2,3,4-thiatriazole; N, N′-dinitrosopene Methylene terrorism Ramin, N, N'-dimethyl -N, N'N-nitroso compounds such as dinitrosoterephthalamide, and the like.

  The thermal expansion start temperature (foam start temperature) of the foaming agent such as thermally expandable microspheres is not particularly limited, but it is important that the thermal expansion start temperature exceeds 95 ° C. The thermal expansion start temperature of the foaming agent (thermally expandable microspheres, etc.) is appropriately selected from the range of, for example, more than 95 ° C. and 200 ° C. or less (in particular, 100 to 200 ° C., particularly 100 to 170 ° C.). Can do.

  In the present invention, the thermal expansion start temperature (foaming start temperature) of a foaming agent such as a thermally expandable microsphere means a temperature at which the foaming agent starts to expand (foam) by heating. This corresponds to (or corresponds to) the peeling start temperature of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having a heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing a foaming agent (such as heat-expandable microspheres). As the peeling start temperature of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, for example, by heat treatment, the adhesive force by the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing a foaming agent (heat-expandable microspheres, etc.) is 10% or less of the adhesive force before heating The lowest heat treatment temperature that can be lowered can be obtained. Therefore, the thermal expansion start temperature of the foaming agent (such as thermally expandable microspheres) is the peeling start temperature of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having the thermally expandable adhesive layer containing the foaming agent (such as thermally expandable microspheres), that is, It is obtained by measuring the minimum heat treatment temperature at which the adhesive force by the thermally expandable adhesive layer containing a foaming agent (such as thermally expandable microspheres) can be reduced to 10% or less of the adhesive force before heating. be able to. Specifically, a polyethylene terephthalate film having a width of 20 mm and a thickness of 23 μm on the surface of the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing the foaming agent (heat-expandable microspheres, etc.) of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet [trade name “Lumirror S10 # 25” (manufactured by Toray Industries, Inc.); sometimes referred to as “PET film”] is bonded with a hand roller so that no air bubbles are mixed, to prepare a test piece. 30 minutes after bonding the PET film to the test piece, the PET film was peeled off at a 180 ° peeling angle, and the adhesive strength at that time (measurement temperature: 23 ° C., tensile speed: 300 mm / min, peeling angle) : 180 °), and the adhesive force is defined as “initial adhesive force”. Moreover, after putting the test piece produced by the said method into the heat circulation type dryer set to each temperature (heat processing temperature) for 1 minute, taking out from a heat circulation type dryer, it is left at 23 degreeC for 2 hours. Then, the PET film is peeled off at a 180 ° peeling angle, and the adhesive strength at that time (measurement temperature: 23 ° C., tensile speed: 300 mm / min, peeling angle: 180 °) is measured. “Adhesive strength after heat treatment”. Then, the lowest heat treatment temperature at which the adhesive strength after the heat treatment is 10% or less of the initial adhesive strength is obtained. This lowest heat treatment temperature can be set as the thermal expansion start temperature of a foaming agent (such as thermally expandable microspheres).

  In order to reduce the adhesive force of the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer efficiently and stably by heat treatment, it has an appropriate strength that does not rupture until the volume expansion coefficient is 5 times or more, especially 7 times or more, particularly 10 times or more. A foaming agent is preferred.

  The blending amount of the foaming agent (such as thermally expandable microspheres) can be appropriately set according to the expansion ratio of the thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer or the decrease in adhesive strength, but generally the pressure-sensitive adhesive that forms the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The amount is, for example, 1 to 150 parts by weight, preferably 10 to 130 parts by weight, and more preferably 25 to 100 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base polymer.

  When thermally expandable microspheres are used as the foaming agent, the particle size (average particle diameter) of the thermally expandable microspheres can be appropriately selected according to the thickness of the thermally expandable adhesive layer. The average particle diameter of the thermally expandable microspheres can be selected from a range of, for example, 100 μm or less (preferably 80 μm or less, more preferably 1 to 50 μm, particularly 1 to 30 μm). Note that the adjustment of the particle size of the thermally expandable microspheres may be performed in the process of generating the thermally expandable microspheres, or may be performed by means such as classification after the generation.

Moreover, as an adhesive used in the heat-expandable adhesive layer, the shear modulus (23 ° C.) after curing or drying is 7 × 10 ⁶ Pa or more (preferably 1 × 10 ⁷ Pa or more). At the same time, a pressure-sensitive adhesive having a shear modulus (95 ° C.) after curing or drying of less than 7 × 10 ⁶ Pa (preferably 5 × 10 ⁶ Pa or less) can be used. By using such an adhesive, a thermally expandable adhesive layer having a low temperature adhesive strength of 0.5 N / 20 mm or less and a high temperature adhesive strength of 2.0 N / 20 mm or more can be obtained.

  Although it will not restrict | limit especially if it has the said characteristic as an adhesive, The thing which does not restrain foaming and / or expansion | swelling of a foaming agent (thermally expansible microsphere etc.) at the time of a heating is preferable. Examples of adhesives include rubber adhesives, acrylic adhesives, vinyl alkyl ether adhesives, silicone adhesives, polyester adhesives, polyamide adhesives, urethane adhesives, fluorine adhesives, and styrene. -Diene block copolymer-based pressure-sensitive adhesives, and known pressure-sensitive pressure-sensitive adhesives such as those having a melting point of about 200 ° C or less and a melt-meltable resin blended with these pressure-sensitive adhesives (for example, JP-A 56- (See 61468, JP 61-174857, JP 63-17981, JP 56-13040, etc.) Can do. In addition, as the pressure-sensitive adhesive, a radiation curable pressure-sensitive adhesive (or energy beam curable pressure-sensitive adhesive) can be used. These pressure-sensitive adhesives can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  In addition, when the adhesive is comprised with 2 or more types of adhesives, of course, it is important that the adhesive comprised by 2 or more types of adhesive has the said characteristic.

  The heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is commonly used to form a sheet-like layer by mixing, for example, a pressure-sensitive adhesive, a foaming agent (such as heat-expandable microspheres), and a solvent or other additive as necessary. This method can be used. Specifically, for example, a method of applying a mixture containing a pressure-sensitive adhesive, a foaming agent (such as thermally expandable microspheres), and, if necessary, a solvent and other additives onto a substrate or a rubbery organic elastic layer By applying the mixture on a suitable separator (such as release paper) to form a heat-expandable adhesive layer and transferring (transferring) it onto the base material or rubber-like organic elastic layer, An adhesive layer can be formed. The thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer may be either a single layer or multiple layers.

  The thickness of the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be appropriately selected depending on the adhesiveness reduction property, and is, for example, about 5 to 300 μm, preferably about 20 to 150 μm. However, when thermally expandable microspheres are used as the foaming agent, the thickness of the thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is preferably thicker than the maximum particle diameter of the contained thermally expandable microspheres. When the thickness of the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is too thin, the surface smoothness is impaired by the unevenness of the heat-expandable microspheres, and the adhesiveness before heating (unfoamed state) is lowered. In addition, the degree of deformation of the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer by heat treatment is small, and the adhesive force is not easily lowered. On the other hand, if the thickness of the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is too thick, cohesive failure tends to occur in the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer after foaming by heat treatment.

[Separator]
In FIG. 1, a separator (release liner) is used as a protective material for the thermally expandable adhesive layer, but the separator is not necessarily provided. When an adhesive layer other than the heat-expandable adhesive layer is provided, a separator (release liner) may be used as a protective material for the adhesive layer.

  In addition, when using a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (such as a thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer) protected by the separator (that is, when adhering an adherend to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer protected by the separator), It is peeled off.

  A conventional release paper or the like can be used as such a separator. Specifically, as the separator, for example, a substrate having a release layer such as a plastic film or paper surface-treated with a release agent such as silicone, long-chain alkyl, fluorine, or molybdenum sulfide; polytetrafluoroethylene Low-adhesive substrate made of a fluorine-based polymer such as polychlorotrifluoroethylene, polyvinyl fluoride, polyvinylidene fluoride, tetrafluoroethylene / hexafluoropropylene copolymer, chlorofluoroethylene / vinylidene fluoride copolymer; A low-adhesive substrate made of a nonpolar polymer such as a series resin (for example, polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.) can be used. In addition, a separator can also be used as a base material for supporting a heat-expandable adhesive layer.

  The separator can be formed by a known or common method. Further, the thickness of the separator is not particularly limited.

[Rubber organic elastic layer]
In FIG. 1, a rubber-like organic elastic layer is provided between the base material and the thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer from the viewpoint of imparting the deformability of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet and improving the peelability after heating. The rubber-like organic elastic layer is a layer provided as necessary, and is not necessarily provided. Thus, by providing the rubbery organic elastic layer, when the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is adhered to the adherend, the surface of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet (the surface of the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer) is adhered. The surface area of the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be increased by following the surface shape of the heat-expandable sheet. The heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be preferentially and uniformly expanded in the thickness direction. That is, the rubber-like organic elastic layer has a function of providing a large adhesion area by following the surface shape of the adherend when the heat peelable pressure sensitive adhesive sheet is adhered to the adherend, and the heat peelable pressure sensitive adhesive sheet. When the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is heated and foamed and / or expanded in order to release the adherend, the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is restrained from foaming and / or expansion in the surface direction. It can serve to promote the formation of undele structure due to the three-dimensional structural change of the layer.

  The rubbery organic elastic layer is preferably provided on the base-side surface of the thermally expandable adhesive layer in a form superimposed on the thermally expandable adhesive layer. The rubbery organic elastic layer can be provided other than between the base material and the thermally expandable adhesive layer. The rubbery organic elastic layer can be interposed on one side or both sides of the substrate.

  The rubbery organic elastic layer is preferably formed of natural rubber, synthetic rubber or synthetic resin having rubber elasticity, for example, having a D-type Sure D-type hardness based on ASTM D-2240 of 50 or less, particularly 40 or less. Examples of the synthetic rubber or the synthetic resin having rubber elasticity include nitrile-based, diene-based, and acrylic-based synthetic rubbers; polyolefin-based and polyester-based thermoplastic elastomers; ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyurethane, polybutadiene, and the like. And a synthetic resin having rubber elasticity such as soft polyvinyl chloride. Even if it is essentially a hard polymer such as polyvinyl chloride, rubber elasticity can be manifested in combination with compounding agents such as plasticizers and softeners. Such a composition can also be used as a constituent material of the rubbery organic elastic layer. Moreover, an adhesive substance such as an adhesive constituting the thermally expandable adhesive layer can also be used as a constituent material of the rubbery organic elastic layer.

  The rubber-like organic elastic layer is, for example, a method in which a coating liquid containing a rubber-like organic elastic layer forming material such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber or synthetic resin having rubber elasticity is applied on a substrate (coating method), the rubber A method of adhering a film made of a layered organic elastic layer forming material or a laminated film in which a layer made of the rubbery organic elastic layer forming material is previously formed on one or more thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layers (dry laminating method) ), A resin composition containing the constituent material of the substrate and a resin composition containing the rubber-like organic elastic layer forming material can be formed by a forming method such as a method (coextrusion method).

  The thickness of the rubbery organic elastic layer is, for example, about 5 to 300 μm, preferably about 20 to 150 μm. If the thickness of the rubbery organic elastic layer is too thin, a three-dimensional structural change after heating and foaming cannot be formed, and the peelability may deteriorate. The rubbery organic elastic layer may be a single layer or may be composed of two or more layers.

  The rubbery organic elastic layer may be formed of an adhesive substance mainly composed of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, or synthetic resin having rubber elasticity, and is formed of a foam film or the like mainly composed of such a component. May be. Foaming is a conventional method, for example, a method using mechanical stirring, a method using a reaction product gas, a method using a foaming agent, a method for removing soluble substances, a method using a spray, a method for forming a syntactic foam, It can be performed by a sintering method or the like.

  Moreover, as a rubber-like organic elastic layer, when using a radiation curable substance for a thermally expansible adhesive layer etc., it is preferable to use what does not inhibit radiation permeation | transmission.

[Other layers]
As the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention, it is sufficient that a heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed on at least one surface of the base material. For example, a form in which a heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed on one surface of the base material A heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet in which a heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed on both surfaces of the substrate, a heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on one surface of the substrate, Examples thereof include a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having a form in which a heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (pressure-sensitive adhesive layer not having heat expandability) is formed. In addition, when the thermally expansible adhesive layer is formed in both surfaces of a base material, at least one thermal expansible adhesive layer should just have the said characteristic.

  Moreover, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention may have one or two or more intermediate layers (such as a rubbery organic elastic layer) between the base material and the thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

(Non-thermal expansion adhesive layer)
The pressure-sensitive adhesive for forming the non-thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is not particularly limited, and pressure-sensitive adhesives exemplified as the pressure-sensitive adhesive used in the above-mentioned heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (for example, rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive) , Vinyl alkyl ether adhesives, silicone adhesives, polyester adhesives, polyamide adhesives, urethane adhesives, fluorine adhesives, styrene-diene block copolymer adhesives, adhesives with improved creep characteristics Well-known or commonly used pressure-sensitive adhesives such as an adhesive and a radiation curable pressure-sensitive adhesive). These pressure-sensitive adhesives can be used alone or in combination of two or more. The pressure-sensitive adhesive for forming the non-thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer may contain, for example, known or usual additives such as plasticizers, fillers, surfactants, anti-aging agents, and tackifiers. Good.

  The thickness of the non-thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer may be, for example, 300 μm or less (for example, 1 to 300 μm, preferably 5 to 100 μm). As a method for forming the non-thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the same method as the above-mentioned heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer (for example, a method of coating on a base material, a coating layer on a separator and forming a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer) A method of transferring onto a base material) can be used. The non-thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer may be either a single layer or multiple layers.

(Middle layer)
Moreover, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention may have an intermediate layer as described above. Examples of such an intermediate layer include a release agent coating layer for the purpose of imparting releasability and a primer coating layer for the purpose of improving adhesion. In addition, as an intermediate layer other than the coating layer of the release agent and the coating layer of the primer, for example, a layer for the purpose of imparting good deformability, the purpose of increasing the adhesion area to the adherend (semiconductor wafer, etc.) The purpose is to improve the processability of reducing the adhesive force by heating, the layer aiming to improve the surface shape of the adherend (semiconductor wafer, etc.) And a layer intended to improve releasability from an adherend (such as a semiconductor wafer) after heating.

  The heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention may have the form of a double-sided adhesive sheet whose both surfaces are adhesive surfaces, but has the form of an adhesive sheet whose only one surface is an adhesive surface. It is preferable. Therefore, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is preferably a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having a form in which a heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed on one side of the substrate.

  Moreover, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet may be formed in a form wound in a roll shape, or may be formed in a form in which sheets are laminated. For example, when it has a form wound in a roll shape, the heat-expandable adhesive layer is wound in a roll shape in a state protected by a separator, that is, the base material and one surface of the base material The heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the separator formed on the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer are wound into a roll shape, and are heated and peeled in a roll-shaped state or form. It can be produced as a mold pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet.

  In addition, as the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet wound or rolled, the base material, the thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed on one surface of the base material, and the other surface of the base material And a release treatment layer (back treatment layer) formed on the substrate.

  The heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can have a form such as a sheet form or a tape form.

  Since the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention has the above-described configuration [that is, it has characteristics that the low-temperature adhesive strength is 0.5 N / 20 mm or less and the high-temperature adhesive strength is 2.0 N / 20 mm or more. Therefore, when processing the adherend, when attaching the adherend to the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, it is possible to perform alignment accurately while re-attaching, etc. In addition, the stacking process and the cutting process Then, the adherend can be fixed by exhibiting excellent adhesiveness, and the processed product can be easily peeled after processing. Therefore, it is possible to exhibit the workability and adhesion at the time of sticking at an excellent level for fixing during processing of the adherend, and when the adhesive state is desired to be solved after achieving the adhesive purpose, The adherence can be easily peeled or separated by reducing the adhesive force by heating. As described above, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention can be suitably used as a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet used when processing an adherend. The heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can also be used as a protective material when conveying the adherend.

[Processing method of adherend]
In the method for processing an adherend (workpiece) according to the present invention, the adherend is bonded onto the thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, and the adherend is subjected to a processing treatment. The kimono is processed. The process for processing the adherend can be arbitrarily selected. More specifically, as the process for processing the adherend, for example, an electrode printing process (pattern formation process or the like) on a green sheet, a laminating process, a pressurizing process (pressing press process), a cutting process, etc. (A polishing process, a dicing process, etc.), a baking process, etc. are mentioned, In addition, an assembly process etc. are also mentioned.

  In the processing of such an adherend, since it is required to have high adhesiveness (having a low shear modulus) in the laminating step and the cutting step, once in the laminating step and the cutting step, It is important to carry out after heating (of course, it is important that the temperature is lower than the foaming start temperature of the foaming agent in the thermally expandable adhesive layer). The temperature at the time of heating is not particularly limited as long as it is room temperature or higher and lower than the foaming start temperature of the foaming agent in the thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. For example, it is 50 to 150 ° C (preferably 80 to 120 ° C). Further, it is desirable to select from a range of about 90 to 110 ° C. In this way, once heated, after being heated or cooled, processing such as lamination, cutting, grinding or cutting can be performed. That is, processing such as lamination, cutting, grinding, and cutting can be performed at a temperature equal to or lower than the temperature at the time of heating (for example, room temperature to the temperature at the time of heating). Specifically, after heating, it may be cooled to room temperature, and then processing such as laminating and cutting may be performed at room temperature. Processing such as lamination or cutting may be performed in a warm state.

  As described above, in the method for processing an adherend according to the present invention, conditions such as temperature may be appropriately adjusted according to characteristics (elasticity, adhesiveness) required during processing. Of course, it is important that the temperature is lower than the foaming start temperature of the foaming agent in the thermally expandable adhesive layer.

  And after processing a to-be-adhered body (especially after achieving the adhesion objective, or when you want to release an adhesion state), it heats to the temperature more than the foaming start temperature of the foaming agent in a thermally expansible adhesive layer. Thus, the adherence (processed product) subjected to the processing treatment can be isolated by reducing the adhesive force and peeling or separating the adherend subjected to the processing treatment.

  In addition, as a heat treatment method at the time of peeling or separating the adherend (processed product) subjected to the processing treatment, for example, an appropriate heating means such as a hot plate, a hot air dryer, a near infrared lamp, an air dryer, or the like is used. It can be done using it. The heating temperature may be equal to or higher than the thermal expansion start temperature (foaming start temperature) of the foaming agent (thermally expandable microspheres, etc.) in the heat-expandable adhesive layer, but the heat treatment conditions are the surface condition of the adherend. It can be set as appropriate depending on the reduction of the adhesion area due to the type of foaming agent (thermally expandable microspheres, etc.), the heat resistance of the substrate or adherend, the heating method (heat capacity, heating means, etc.), etc. General heat treatment conditions are a temperature of 100 to 250 ° C. and a time of 1 to 90 seconds (hot plate or the like) or 5 to 15 minutes (hot air dryer or the like). Note that the heat treatment can be performed at an appropriate stage depending on the purpose of use. In some cases, an infrared lamp or heated water can be used as the heating source.

[Adherent]
The article (adhered body; workpiece) held by the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can be arbitrarily selected. Specifically, the adherend includes electronic parts such as semiconductor wafers (silicon wafers) and semiconductor chips; electrical articles such as ceramic capacitors and oscillators; display devices such as liquid crystal cells, Various articles such as a thermal head, a solar cell, a printed circuit board (such as a multilayer ceramic sheet), and a so-called “green sheet” can be mentioned. An adherend may be individual or may be combined 2 or more types.

[Processed adherend; Processed product]
In the present invention, various processed products (processed adherends) can be obtained by pasting an adherend (processed product) to the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet and then performing a processing treatment. For example, when an electronic component such as a semiconductor wafer is used as the adherend (processed product), an electronic component, a circuit board, or the like can be obtained as the processed product. Further, when a ceramic capacitor green sheet is used as the adherend, a multilayer ceramic capacitor or the like can be obtained as a processed product. That is, the electronic component and the multilayer ceramic capacitor of the present invention are manufactured using the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, and are manufactured using the method for processing the adherend.

Set in a tensile tester (trade name “Shimadzu Autograph AG-1 20 kN” manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) and leave for 30 minutes. After leaving, the load (maximum load) when the adherend was peeled off under the conditions of peel angle: 180 ° and tensile speed: 300 mm / min was measured. The adhesive strength (peel angle: 180 °, tensile speed: 300 mm / min; N / 20 mm) is determined. The adhesive strength is shown in the column of “95 ° C. adhesive strength (N / 20 mm)” in Table 1.

(Measurement method of shear modulus)
Thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the separator before making a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet by contacting the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the separator with the rubbery organic elastic layer in the polyester film having the rubbery organic elastic layer described above The shear modulus was measured for the layer. Specifically, the thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the separator is peeled off from the separator, and the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is placed on a predetermined part of a trade name “ARES” manufactured by Rheometric Co. as a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device. Set, temperature: 23 ° C., 95 ° C., measurement frequency: 1 Hz, sample thickness (thickness of thermally expandable adhesive layer): about 2.0 mm, strain: 0.1% (23 ° C.) or 0.3% (95 ° C.), plate: The shear elastic modulus of the unexpanded thermally expandable adhesive layer was measured under the conditions of a parallel plate jig having a diameter of 7.9 mmφ. The shear modulus when measured at 23 ° C. is shown in the “room temperature shear modulus (Pa)” column of Table 1, and the shear modulus when measured at 95 ° C. is “95” in Table 1. It was shown in the column of “° C. shear modulus (Pa)”.

  As is clear from Table 1, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets according to Examples 1 and 2 have a moderate shear modulus at room temperature, and therefore have low adhesive strength at room temperature, and shear elasticity at 95 ° C. Since the rate is also good, the adhesive strength at high temperature is high, the workability of alignment at the time of sticking is good, and excellent adhesive strength can be exhibited. Of course, the adherend (or processed product) can be easily peeled off by heating.

  Therefore, when the adherend is processed using the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets according to Examples 1 and 2 corresponding to the present invention, productivity due to improved component accuracy, reduced size, and improved yield prevention Can be effectively improved.
