Description

The present invention relates to a flux used for soldering and a solder paste using this flux.

Generally, the flux used for soldering chemically removes metal oxides present on the metal surface of the solder and the object to be soldered, allowing the movement of metal elements at the boundary between the two. Has the effect of soldering. Therefore, by performing soldering using flux, an intermetallic compound can be formed between the solder and the metal surface of the object to be bonded, and a strong bond can be obtained.

In such a soldering flux and a solder paste containing metal powder, thixotropy is imparted by the thixotropic agent contained in the flux. The thixotropic agent builds a network in the flux and imparts thixotropic properties. If the flux has thixotropic properties, the viscosity of the flux decreases when a shearing force is applied, so that workability such as printability is improved. In addition, by containing the thixotropy, the dripping of the solder paste after printing, which is called printing dripping, and the dripping of the solder paste when melting by heating, which is called heating dripping, are held by the network formed by the thixotropy, so that the flux The sagging is suppressed.

As the thixo agent, an amide-based thixo agent composed of an amide compound obtained by dehydration condensation of a fatty acid and an amine is used from the viewpoint of imparting tixo property, improving printability, and suppressing printing sagging and heating sagging (for example, Patent Documents). 1). Further, as the thixotropy, an ester-based thixotropy made of hydrogenated castor oil is used.

In the amide-based thixo agent, hydrogen bonds are easily formed in the molecule and between the molecules by the amide bond, and when it becomes a polymer, the compatibility is poor and uniform dispersion is difficult, so that the printability is not stable. Further, when the amount of the high molecular weight amide compound is increased, the viscosity becomes extremely high, so that the printability deteriorates. Further, even an ester thixotropy cannot sufficiently suppress heating sagging.

<Example of flux of this embodiment>
The flux of the present embodiment contains a thixotropic agent, an aromatic guanidine compound, rosin, an organic acid, and a solvent. The thixotropy comprises a cyclic amide compound and a non-cyclic amide compound.

The cyclic amide compound is a low molecular weight amide compound having a molecular weight of 3000 or less, particularly 1000 or less, in which a dicarboxylic acid and / or a tricarboxylic acid and a diamine and / or a triamine are cyclically polycondensed. The acyclic amide compound is an acyclic amide oligomer having a molecular weight of 3000 or less, which is a non-cyclic polycondensation of a monocarboxylic acid, a dicarboxylic acid and / or a tricarboxylic acid, and a monoamine, a diamine and / or a triamine, and a molecular weight of more than 3000. It is a non-cyclic polymer amide polymer.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of the molecular structure of a dicarboxylic acid, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of the molecular structure of a diamine, and FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of the molecular structure of an acyclic amide compound. .. By polycondensing (dehydrating condensation) the dicarboxylic acid shown in FIG. 1 and the diamine shown in FIG. 2, an acyclic amide compound is synthesized as shown in FIG.

In the thixo agent composed of the acyclic amide compound shown in FIG. 3, the carboxyl group (COOH) of the dicarboxylic acid shown in FIG. 1 and the amino group (NH ₂ ) of the diamine shown in FIG. 2 are amide-bonded by polycondensation to form an amide group. A network is formed by hydrogen bonding of C (= O) -NH hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) within and between molecules. The amide bond site is indicated by (A), and the hydrogen bond site is indicated by (B).

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of the molecular structure of the acyclic amide compound. When the acyclic amide compound is polymerized, as shown in FIG. 4, hydrogen bonds (B) proceed in the molecule, so that the solubility (compatibility) in the flux becomes very poor, and the acyclic amide compound becomes coarse in the flux. Precipitation may occur, resulting in poor thixophilicity. Further, in the solder paste in which such a flux and a metal powder are mixed, printability is poor, and printing sagging and heating sagging occur.

Therefore, by using the cyclic amide compound in combination with the acyclic amide compound, the non-cyclic amide compound is crosslinked with the cyclic amide compound by a non-covalent interaction to construct a relatively uniform network of thixotropic agent components. , Suppresses excessive thiox agent precipitation.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of the molecular structure of the cyclic amide compound. By polycondensing the dicarboxylic acid shown in FIG. 1 and the diamine shown in FIG. 2, a cyclic amide compound is synthesized as a low molecular weight amide as shown in FIG.

Since the cyclic amide compound has higher symmetry than the acyclic amide compound, it has a property of being easily crystallized as compared with the acyclic low molecular weight amide. On the other hand, since the acyclic low molecular weight amide has a polar terminal group, it is easily compatible with the flux and difficult to crystallize, so that it is difficult to impart thixotropic property due to network formation. On the other hand, since the cyclic amide compound does not have a polar terminal group, it is difficult to be compatible with the flux and it is easy to impart thixotropic property due to network formation.

As a result, in the thixo agent composed of the cyclic amide compound and the acyclic amide compound, the hydrogen bond between the cyclic amide compound and the acyclic amide compound is promoted, and the hydrogen bond in the molecule of the acyclic amide compound is inhibited. It is thought that it will be done.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of a molecular structure in which a non-cyclic amide compound is crosslinked with a cyclic amide compound. In the thixo agent composed of the cyclic amide compound and the acyclic amide compound, as shown in FIG. 6, the cyclic amide compound and the acyclic amide compound are hydrogen-bonded (B), so that the cyclic amide compound is a non-cyclic amide compound. It is considered that a network of relatively uniform components bridged by covalent interactions is constructed.

Therefore, in the flux containing the thixotropic agent composed of the cyclic amide compound and the acyclic amide compound, the excessive precipitation of the thixotropic agent is suppressed and the thixotropic property is excellent as compared with the thixotropic agent composed of the cyclic amide compound. Further, the solder paste composed of a flux containing a thixo agent composed of a cyclic amide compound and a non-cyclic amide compound and a metal powder is excellent in printability, suppresses printing sagging, and further suppresses heating sagging.

Cyclic amide compounds and acyclic amide compounds are represented as [n + n] type when the number of carboxylic acids is n and the number of amines is n. The cyclic amide compound is constructed from the [1 + 1] type to the [n + n] type, preferably the [1 + 1] type to the [3 + 3] type, and particularly preferably the [2 + 2] type. FIG. 5 shows an example of a [2 + 2] type in which a dicarboxylic acid and a diamine are polycondensed cyclically, and the cyclic amide compound is preferably a [2 + 2] type in which a dicarboxylic acid and a diamine are polycondensed cyclically.

The cyclic amide compound is a [2 + 2] type in which tricarboxylic acid and diamine are polycondensed cyclically and one of the functional groups of the tricarboxylic acid is unbonded to another compound, and tricarboxylic acid and diamine are contained. Also included are the [2 + 3] type, which is polycondensed cyclically to form a cage-type structure, and the [3 + 2] type, in which dicarboxylic acid and triamine are polycondensed cyclically to form a cage-type structure.

As a result, the cyclic amide compound includes an amide oligomer in which dicarboxylic acid and diamine are cyclically polycondensed, an amide oligomer in which tricarboxylic acid and diamine are cyclically polycondensed, an amide oligomer in which dicarboxylic acid and triamine are cyclically polycondensed, and tricarboxylic acid. An amide oligomer in which triamine is cyclically polycondensed, an amide oligomer in which dicarboxylic acid and tricarboxylic acid and diamine are cyclically polycondensed, an amide oligomer in which dicarboxylic acid and tricarboxylic acid and triamine are cyclically polycondensed, and a dicarboxylic acid and diamine and triamine are cyclic. It may be any of an amide oligomer polycondensed with, an amide oligomer obtained by cyclically polycondensing tricarboxylic acid, diamine and triamine, and an amide oligomer obtained by cyclically polycondensing dicarboxylic acid and tricarboxylic acid with diamine and triamine.

Further, the acyclic amide compound is an amide compound in which a dicarboxylic acid and / or a tricarboxylic acid and a monoamine are acyclically polycondensed when the monocarboxylic acid and diamine and / or triamine are acyclically polycondensed. In some cases, for example, in the case of an amide compound containing a monocarboxylic acid or a monoamine, the monocarboxylic acid and the monoamine function as terminal molecules to form an acyclic amide oligomer having a reduced molecular weight. Further, the acyclic amide compound is an acyclic polymer-based amide polymer when it is an amidation site in which a dicarboxylic acid and / or a tricarboxylic acid and a diamine and / or a triamine are polycondensed in an acyclic manner. Further, the acyclic amide compound also includes an amide compound in which a monocarboxylic acid and a monoamine are acyclically condensed.

The reason why an amide compound in which a monocarboxylic acid and a monoamine are acyclically condensed can form a network will be described below.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of the molecular structure of monocarboxylic acid, FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of the molecular structure of monoamine, and FIG. 9 is a molecule of an acyclic amide compound in which monocarboxylic acid and monoamine are condensed. It is a schematic diagram which shows the outline of the structure.

The carboxyl group (COOH) of the monocarboxylic acid shown in FIG. 7 and the amino group (NH ₂ ) of the monoamine shown in FIG. 8 are amide-bonded by condensation to form the acyclic amide compound shown in FIG. Further, hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) of the amide group C (= O) -NH of the acyclic amide compound are connected by hydrogen bonding between the molecules. The intramolecular amide bond site of the acyclic amide compound is indicated by (A), and the intermolecular hydrogen bond site of the acyclic amide compound is indicated by (B).

In this way, monoamides (monoamides) having one amide group in the molecule are connected by hydrogen bonds. The aggregate of monoamides formed by hydrogen bonds is treated as a supramolecular. Supramolecules refer to aggregates of molecules constructed from non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. Hydrogen bonds show strong interaction and have a stable structure.

Acyclic amide compounds, which are monoamides in which monocarboxylic acids and monoamines are condensed, are linked by hydrogen bond-derived interaction with amide bonds, and in addition, molecular chains linked by hydrogen bond interactions, especially main chain amides. A hydrogen bond derived from the bond and an interaction between molecular chains due to a hydrophobic interaction by a side chain or the like form a bridging site and grow into a three-dimensional network.

As described above, although the acyclic amide compound obtained by condensing a monocarboxylic acid and a monoamine has only one amide group, it can be seen that a network can be formed by binding by a non-covalent interaction by a hydrogen bond.

The cyclic amide compound contained as a thixo agent is an amide compound in which a dicarboxylic acid and / or a tricarboxylic acid and a diamine and / or a triamine are cyclically polycondensed, and has two or more amide groups.

As a result, when the cyclic amide compound is added to the thixo agent, the non-cyclic amide compound, which is an aggregate of monoamides connected by the interaction by hydrogen bonds, is connected via the cyclic amide compound.

In the solder paste using a flux in which the thixotropy contains a cyclic amide compound and a non-cyclic amide compound, it is considered that thixotropic property is imparted by forming a network of the cyclic amide compound and the acyclic amide compound.

However, if the contents of the cyclic amide compound and the non-cyclic amide compound are too small, a sufficient network cannot be formed, so that thixotropic property is not imparted.

On the other hand, in the case of a thixo agent which does not contain a cyclic amide compound or whose content of the cyclic amide compound is less than the amount specified in the present invention, when the acyclic amide compound becomes excessive, the acyclic amide compound is intramolecular or intermolecular. Excessively interacts with each other, and aggregation and precipitation are likely to occur.

As a result, the rheological characteristics of the flux are impaired (printability is poor due to crystal precipitation), and the thixotropic agent density is low in the portion where the aggregate is not formed, so that the thixotropic agent is substantially insufficient as described above. It is thought that it will not be effective.

On the other hand, a cyclic amide compound obtained by cyclically polycondensing dicarboxylic acid and / or tricarboxylic acid, diamine and / or triamine, monocarboxylic acid, dicarboxylic acid and / or tricarboxylic acid, monoamine, diamine and / or triamine. By using the acyclic amide compound condensed in an acyclic manner at the content specified in the present invention, the acyclic amide compound is crosslinked with the cyclic amide compound by a non-covalent interaction, and is relatively uniform. It is possible to construct a network of various tide agent components and suppress excessive tide agent precipitation. The effect of using the cyclic amide compound and the acyclic amide compound in combination is as long as the content of the cyclic amide compound and the acyclic amide compound is within the range specified in the present invention, even if the molecular weight of the acyclic amide compound is 3000 or less. It can be demonstrated even over 3000.

Further, the acyclic amide compound has the maximum molecular weight when the ratio of the total number of moles of the carboxyl groups of the dicarboxylic acid and / or the tricarboxylic acid to the total number of moles of the amino groups of the diamine and / or the triamine is 1: 1. Become. On the other hand, if the ratio of the total number of moles of the carboxyl groups of the dicarboxylic acid and / or the tricarboxylic acid to the total number of moles of the amino groups of the diamine and / or the triamine is 1: m or m: 1 (m> 1). , It becomes an acyclic amide oligomer with a reduced molecular weight. It is preferably 1: 2 to 2: 1.

<Example of solder paste of this embodiment>
The solder paste of the present embodiment contains the above-mentioned flux and metal powder.
The metal powder is preferably a solder containing no Pb, and is a solder powder containing Sn alone, or Sn-Ag-based, Sn-Cu-based, Sn-Ag-Cu-based, Sn-Bi-based, and Sn-In. It is composed of a system or the like, or a powder of a solder alloy obtained by adding Sb, Bi, In, Cu, Zn, As, Ag, Cd, Fe, Ni, Co, Au, Ge, P and the like to these alloys.

The solder alloy has As: 25 mass ppm or more and 300 mass ppm or less, Sb: 0 mass ppm or more and 3000 mass ppm or less, Bi: 0 mass ppm or more and 10000 mass ppm or less, and Pb: 0 mass ppm or more and 5100 mass ppm or less. It is preferable to have an alloy composition in which at least one of them and the balance (Bal) are Sn. The solder alloy may further contain at least one of Ag: 0% by mass or more and 4% by mass or less and Cu: 0% by mass or more and 0.9% by mass or less.

As is an element capable of suppressing the change in viscosity of the solder paste with time. It is presumed that As has low reactivity with flux and is a noble element with respect to Sn, so that it can exert an effect of suppressing thickening. The lower limit of the As content is, for example, 25 mass ppm or more, preferably 50 mass ppm or more, and more preferably 100 mass ppm or more. On the other hand, if the amount of As is too large, the wettability of the solder alloy deteriorates. The upper limit of the As content is, for example, 300 mass ppm or less, preferably 250 mass ppm or less, and more preferably 200 mass ppm or less.

Sb is an element that has low reactivity with flux and exhibits an effect of suppressing thickening. When the solder alloy contains Sb, the lower limit of the Sb content is, for example, more than 0 mass ppm, preferably 25 mass ppm or more, more preferably 50 mass ppm or more, still more preferably 100 mass ppm or more. It is particularly preferably 300 mass ppm or more. On the other hand, if the Sb content is too large, the wettability of the solder alloy deteriorates, so it is necessary to set the content to an appropriate level. The upper limit of the Sb content is, for example, 3000 mass ppm or less, preferably 1150 mass ppm or less, and more preferably 500 mass ppm or less.

Like Sb, Bi and Pb are elements that have low reactivity with flux and exhibit an effect of suppressing thickening. Further, Bi and Pb are elements that can suppress deterioration of the wettability of the solder alloy due to As because the liquidus temperature of the solder alloy is lowered and the viscosity of the molten solder is reduced.

If at least one element of Sb, Bi and Pb is present, deterioration of the wettability of the solder alloy due to As can be suppressed. When the solder alloy contains Bi, the lower limit of the Bi content is, for example, more than 0 mass ppm, preferably 25 mass ppm or more, more preferably 50 mass ppm or more, still more preferably 75 mass ppm or more. It is particularly preferably 100 mass ppm or more, and most preferably 250 mass ppm or more. When the solder alloy contains Pb, the lower limit of the Pb content is, for example, more than 0 mass ppm, preferably 25 mass ppm or more, more preferably 50 mass ppm or more, still more preferably 75 mass ppm or more. It is particularly preferably 100 mass ppm or more, and most preferably 250 mass ppm or more.

On the other hand, if the content of these elements is too large, the solidus temperature is remarkably lowered, so that ΔT, which is the temperature difference between the liquidus temperature and the solidus temperature, becomes too wide. If ΔT is too wide, the liquid phase Bi and Pb will be concentrated because a high melting point crystal phase having a low content of Bi and Pb is precipitated in the solidification process of the molten solder. After that, when the temperature of the molten solder is further lowered, the low melting point crystal phase having a high concentration of Bi and Pb is segregated. Therefore, the mechanical strength and the like of the solder alloy are deteriorated, and the reliability is deteriorated. In particular, since the crystal phase having a high Bi concentration is hard and brittle, segregation in the solder alloy significantly lowers the reliability.

From this point of view, when the solder alloy contains Bi, the upper limit of the Bi content is, for example, 10000 mass ppm or less, preferably 1000 mass ppm or less, more preferably 600 mass ppm or less, and further. It is preferably 500 mass ppm or less. When the solder alloy contains Pb, the upper limit of the Pb content is, for example, 5100 mass ppm or less, preferably 5000 mass ppm or less, more preferably 1000 mass ppm or less, and further preferably 850 mass ppm or less. It is particularly preferably 500 mass ppm or less.

The solder alloy preferably satisfies the following mathematical formula (1).

275≤2As + Sb + Bi + Pb ... (1)
In the above formula (1), As, Sb, Bi and Pb each represent the content (mass ppm) in the alloy composition.

As, Sb, Bi and Pb are all elements that have an effect of suppressing thickening. The total of these is preferably 275 mass ppm or more. In the formula (1), the As content is doubled because As has a higher effect of suppressing thickening than Sb, Bi, and Pb.

The lower limit of the formula (1) is preferably 350 or more, and more preferably 1200 or more. On the other hand, the upper limit of the mathematical formula (1) is not particularly limited from the viewpoint of the thickening suppressing effect, but is preferably 25200 or less, more preferably 10200 or less, from the viewpoint of setting ΔT in a suitable range. , More preferably 5300 or less, and particularly preferably 3800 or less.

The following mathematical formulas (1a) and (1b) are obtained by appropriately selecting the upper limit and the lower limit from the above preferred embodiments.

275 ≦ 2As + Sb + Bi + Pb ≦ 25200 ... (1a)
275 ≦ 2As + Sb + Bi + Pb ≦ 5300 ... (1b)
In the above formulas (1a) and (1b), As, Sb, Bi and Pb each represent the content (mass ppm) in the alloy composition.

Further, the solder alloy preferably satisfies the following mathematical formula (2).

0.01 ≦ (2As + Sb) / (Bi + Pb) ≦ 10.00 ... (2)
In the above formula (2), As, Sb, Bi and Pb each represent the content (mass ppm) in the alloy composition.

If the content of As and Sb is large, the wettability of the solder alloy deteriorates. On the other hand, Bi and Pb suppress the deterioration of the wettability of the solder alloy due to the inclusion of As, but if the content is too large, ΔT increases. In particular, in an alloy composition containing Bi and Pb at the same time, ΔT tends to increase. In view of these, if the contents of Bi and Pb are increased to excessively improve the wettability of the solder alloy, ΔT will spread. On the other hand, if the content of As and Sb is increased to improve the thickening suppressing effect, the wettability of the solder alloy deteriorates. Therefore, it is divided into As and Sb groups and Bi and Pb groups, and when the total amount of both groups is within an appropriate predetermined range, the thickening suppressing effect, the narrowing of ΔT, and the wettability of the solder alloy are exhibited. All are filled at the same time.

If the formula (2) is less than 0.01, the total content of Bi and Pb is relatively large as compared with the total content of As and Pb, so that ΔT is widened. The lower limit of the formula (2) is preferably 0.02 or more, more preferably 0.41 or more, further preferably 0.90 or more, particularly preferably 1.00 or more, and most preferably. It is 1.40 or more. On the other hand, when the mathematical formula (2) exceeds 10.00, the total content of As and Sb becomes relatively larger than the total content of Bi and Pb, so that the wettability of the solder alloy deteriorates. The upper limit of the formula (2) is preferably 5.33 or less, more preferably 4.50 or less, still more preferably 2.67 or less, and particularly preferably 2.30 or less.

The denominator of the mathematical formula (2) is "Bi + Pb", and the mathematical formula (2) cannot be established unless these are included. Therefore, the solder alloy preferably contains at least one of Bi and Pb. As described above, the alloy composition containing no Bi and Pb is inferior in the wettability of the solder alloy.

The following mathematical formula (2a) is obtained by appropriately selecting the upper limit and the lower limit from the above preferred embodiments.

0.31 ≦ (2As + Sb) / (Bi + Pb) ≦ 10.00 ... (2a)
In the above formula (2a), As, Sb, Bi and Pb each represent the content (mass ppm) in the alloy composition.

Ag is an optional element capable of forming Ag ₃ Sn at the crystal interface to improve the reliability of the solder alloy. In addition, Ag is an element whose ionization coefficient is noble with respect to Sn, and when it coexists with As, Pb and Bi, it promotes the effect of suppressing thickening of these elements. The Ag content is preferably 0% by mass or more and 4% by mass or less, more preferably 0.5% by mass or more and 3.5% by mass or less, and further preferably 1.0% by mass or more and 3.0% by mass or less. It is as follows.

Cu is an optional element that can improve the joint strength of solder joints. Further, Cu is an element whose ionization coefficient is noble with respect to Sn, and when it coexists with As, Pb and Bi, it promotes the effect of suppressing thickening of these elements. The Cu content is preferably 0% by mass or more and 0.9% by mass or less, more preferably 0.1% by mass or more and 0.8% by mass or less, and further preferably 0.2% by mass or more and 0.7. It is mass% or less.

The balance (Bal) of the solder alloy is preferably Sn. The solder alloy may contain unavoidable impurities in addition to the above-mentioned elements. Even if it contains unavoidable impurities, it does not affect the above-mentioned effects. If the content of In is too large, ΔT spreads, so if it is 1000 mass ppm or less, it does not affect the above-mentioned effect.
