本発明は、基材微粒子と導電層との密着性が高く、耐衝撃性及び導電性に優れた導電性微粒子、並びに、該導電性微粒子を用いてなる異方性導電材料に関する。 The present invention relates to conductive fine particles having high adhesion between substrate fine particles and a conductive layer and excellent in impact resistance and conductivity, and an anisotropic conductive material using the conductive fine particles.
導電性微粒子は、バインダー樹脂や粘接着剤等と混合、混練することにより、例えば、異方性導電ペースト、異方性導電インク、異方性導電粘接着剤、異方性導電フィルム、異方性導電シート等の異方性導電材料として広く用いられている。 The conductive fine particles are mixed and kneaded with a binder resin or an adhesive, for example, an anisotropic conductive paste, an anisotropic conductive ink, an anisotropic conductive adhesive, an anisotropic conductive film, Widely used as anisotropic conductive materials such as anisotropic conductive sheets.
これらの異方性導電材料は、例えば、液晶ディスプレイ、パーソナルコンピュータ、携帯電話等の電子機器において、基板同士を電気的に接続したり、半導体素子等の小型部品を基板に電気的に接続したりするために、相対向する基板や電極端子の間に挟み込んで使用されている。 These anisotropic conductive materials are, for example, for electrically connecting substrates in electronic devices such as liquid crystal displays, personal computers, and mobile phones, and electrically connecting small components such as semiconductor elements to the substrate. In order to do so, it is used by being sandwiched between opposing substrates and electrode terminals.
これらの導電性微粒子としては、従来、粒子径が均一で、適度な強度を有する樹脂微粒子等の非導電性微粒子の表面に、導電性膜として金属メッキ層を形成させた導電性微粒子が開示されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 As these conductive fine particles, conventionally, conductive fine particles in which a metal plating layer is formed as a conductive film on the surface of non-conductive fine particles such as resin fine particles having a uniform particle size and appropriate strength have been disclosed. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
特許文献1に開示されている導電性微粒子は、導電性膜としてニッケルメッキ被膜が形成されているが、ニッケルメッキ被膜の形成過程でのリン濃度が低くなっている。このようなリン濃度が低いニッケルメッキ被膜では、結晶構造のニッケルメッキ被膜が形成される。このようなニッケルメッキ被膜は硬く、衝撃に対する追従性が充分でなく、ニッケルメッキ被膜が割れる恐れがあり、また、基材微粒子とニッケルメッキ被膜との密着性も良くないといった問題点があった。 In the conductive fine particles disclosed in Patent Document 1, a nickel plating film is formed as a conductive film, but the phosphorus concentration in the formation process of the nickel plating film is low. In such a nickel plating film having a low phosphorus concentration, a nickel plating film having a crystal structure is formed. Such a nickel-plated film is hard and has insufficient followability to impact, and the nickel-plated film may break, and there is a problem that the adhesion between the substrate fine particles and the nickel-plated film is not good.
このような問題点に対し、特許文献2には、基材微粒子の表面に、結晶粒塊が認められない第1層と、結晶粒塊が厚さ方向に配向している第2層とからなるニッケルメッキ被膜を有する導電性微粒子が開示されている。この導電性微粒子においては、第1層が基材微粒子とニッケルメッキ被膜との密着性を高める役割を行っている。
しかしながら、特許文献2に開示された導電性微粒子は、特に近年の電子機器の急激な進歩や発展に伴って求められているほどの導電性や耐衝撃性等の性能が発揮されているとは言えなかった。
However, the conductive fine particles disclosed in Patent Document 2 exhibit performances such as conductivity and impact resistance that are required with the rapid progress and development of electronic devices in recent years. I could not say it.
本発明は、上記現状に鑑み、基材微粒子と導電層との密着性が高く、耐衝撃性及び導電性に優れた導電性微粒子、並びに、該導電性微粒子を用いてなる異方性導電材料を提供することを目的とする。 In view of the present situation, the present invention provides conductive fine particles having high adhesion between the substrate fine particles and the conductive layer and excellent in impact resistance and conductivity, and an anisotropic conductive material using the conductive fine particles.

The conductive layer has an amorphous structure nickel-phosphorous plating layer in contact with the surface of the substrate fine particles and a crystalline structure nickel-tungsten-phosphorous plating layer in contact with the surface of the amorphous structure nickel-phosphorus plating layer.
In the conductive fine particles of the present invention, by having an amorphous nickel-phosphorous plating layer in contact with the surface of the substrate fine particles, conductive fine particles having high adhesion between the substrate fine particles and the conductive layer can be obtained. it can.
Further, by having a crystal structure nickel-tungsten-phosphorous plating layer in contact with the surface of the non-crystalline structure nickel-phosphorous plating layer, the adhesiveness with the non-crystalline structure nickel-phosphorus plating layer is high, and conductivity and heat resistance are improved. While being excellent, the conductive layer can be made difficult to break, and conductive fine particles having improved impact resistance can be obtained. This is presumably because the inclusion of tungsten causes the layer to be finely crystallized and the layer becomes hard to improve the impact resistance.

If it is less than 1 wt%, the crystal structure nickel-tungsten-phosphorous plating layer may be too hard and may be easily broken, and if it exceeds 8 wt%, the amorphous structure nickel-tungsten-phosphorous plating layer will be too soft and conductive fine particles As a result, sufficient performance may not be exhibited.

The thickness of the non-crystalline nickel-phosphorous plating layer is not particularly limited, but a preferred lower limit is 10 nm and a preferred upper limit is 100 nm.
The thickness of the crystal structure nickel-tungsten-phosphorous plating layer is not particularly limited, but a preferred lower limit is 100 nm and a preferred upper limit is 400 nm.

The thickness ratio of the non-crystalline structure nickel-phosphorus plating layer is also preferably 1/20 to 1/5 of the thickness of the crystalline structure nickel-tungsten-phosphorus plating layer.
上記導電層の厚さとしては特に限定されないが、好ましい下限は110nm、好ましい上限は500nmである。110nm未満であると、所望の導電性が得られないことがあり、500nmを超えると、上記導電層が基材微粒子から剥離しやすくなる。 Although it does not specifically limit as thickness of the said conductive layer, A preferable minimum is 110 nm and a preferable upper limit is 500 nm. When the thickness is less than 110 nm, desired conductivity may not be obtained. When the thickness exceeds 500 nm, the conductive layer is easily peeled off from the substrate fine particles.

By having the protrusion on the surface, when the conductive fine particles of the present invention are used for pressure bonding of a circuit board or the like, the protrusion can break through the oxide film on the surface of the circuit board or the like.

Examples of the particle shape include a spherical shape, a disk shape, a columnar shape, a plate shape, a needle shape, a cube shape, and a rectangular parallelepiped shape.
上記芯物質が粒子状である場合には、芯物質の80%以上が、基材微粒子に接触しているか又は上記基材微粒子との距離が5nm以内であることが好ましい。
上記芯物質が、基材微粒子に接触しているか又は基材微粒子から近接した位置に存在することにより、芯物質が確実に導電層で覆われることになり、突起の基材微粒子に対する密着性が優れた導電性微粒子を得ることができる。更に、芯物質が基材微粒子に接触しているか又は基材微粒子から近接した位置に存在することにより、基材微粒子の表面上に突起を揃えることができる。また、芯物質の大きさを揃えやすく、突起の高さが基材微粒子の表面上で揃った導電性微粒子を得ることが可能となる。
従って、本発明の導電性微粒子を異方性導電材料として用いた電極間の接続時には、導電性微粒子の導電性能のばらつきが小さくなり、導電信頼性に優れるという効果が得られる。
When the core substance is in the form of particles, it is preferable that 80% or more of the core substance is in contact with the base particle or the distance from the base particle is within 5 nm.
When the core material is in contact with the substrate fine particles or is present at a position close to the substrate fine particles, the core material is surely covered with the conductive layer, and the adhesion of the protrusions to the substrate fine particles is improved. Excellent conductive fine particles can be obtained. Furthermore, when the core substance is in contact with the substrate fine particles or exists at a position close to the substrate fine particles, the protrusions can be aligned on the surface of the substrate fine particles. In addition, it is possible to obtain conductive fine particles in which the size of the core substance can be easily adjusted and the height of the protrusion is uniform on the surface of the base fine particles.
Therefore, at the time of connection between electrodes using the conductive fine particles of the present invention as an anisotropic conductive material, the variation in conductive performance of the conductive fine particles is reduced, and the effect of excellent conductive reliability can be obtained.
上記突起の平均高さとしては特に限定されないが、好ましい下限は基材微粒子の粒子直径の0.5%、好ましい上限は基材微粒子の粒子直径の25%である。0.5%未満であると、充分な樹脂排除性が得られないことがあり、25%を超えると、突起が回路基板等に深くめり込み、回路基板等を破損させるおそれがある。より好ましい下限は基材微粒子の粒子直径の10%、より好ましい上限は基材微粒子の粒子直径の17%である。
なお、突起の平均高さは、無作為に選んだ50個の導電層上にある凸部の高さを測定し、それを算術平均して突起の平均高さとする。このとき、突起を付与した効果が得られるものとして、導電層上の10nm以上の凸部のものを突起として選ぶものとした。
The average height of the protrusions is not particularly limited, but a preferred lower limit is 0.5% of the particle diameter of the substrate fine particles, and a preferred upper limit is 25% of the particle diameter of the substrate fine particles. If it is less than 0.5%, sufficient resin exclusion may not be obtained, and if it exceeds 25%, the protrusions may be deeply embedded in the circuit board and the like, possibly damaging the circuit board. A more preferred lower limit is 10% of the particle diameter of the substrate fine particles, and a more preferred upper limit is 17% of the particle diameter of the substrate fine particles.
Note that the average height of the protrusions is obtained by measuring the heights of the protrusions on 50 conductive layers selected at random, and calculating the average height of the protrusions to obtain the average height of the protrusions. At this time, a projection having a projection of 10 nm or more on the conductive layer was selected as the projection as an effect of providing the projection.

Furthermore, it is preferable to use deionized water as a dispersion medium in order not to significantly change the surface charges of the substrate fine particles and the core substance. In addition, a cationic surfactant may be used for the purpose of improving dispersibility.

If it is less than 1 nm, it may be difficult to prevent oxidation of the conductive layer, and the connection resistance value may be high. If it exceeds 100 nm, the gold layer erodes the conductive layer, Adhesion with the conductive layer may be deteriorated.
本発明の導電性微粒子においては、上記基材微粒子の表面を被覆している導電層、金層等の厚さの好ましい下限が110nm、好ましい上限が600nmである。110nm未満であると、所望の導電性が得られないことがあり、600nmを超えると、基材微粒子と導電層との密着性が悪くなることがある。 In the conductive fine particles of the present invention, the preferred lower limit of the thickness of the conductive layer, gold layer, etc. covering the surface of the substrate fine particles is 110 nm, and the preferred upper limit is 600 nm. If it is less than 110 nm, desired conductivity may not be obtained, and if it exceeds 600 nm, the adhesion between the substrate fine particles and the conductive layer may be deteriorated.
