Description
本発明はシリカゾル及びその製造方法に係り、その目的は高純度であることが要求される電子材料やシリコンウェハーなどの研磨材などの素材として好適に用いることができるとともに、シリカ微粒子の粒子径が揃っており、長期保存安定性に優れ、しかも、反応溶液中のシリカ微粒子の濃度を高濃度化することができ、生産性に優れるシリカゾル及びその製造方法を提供することにある。 The present invention relates to a silica sol and a method for producing the same, and the object thereof can be suitably used as a material such as an abrasive material such as an electronic material or a silicon wafer that is required to have high purity, and the particle size of silica fine particles is An object of the present invention is to provide a silica sol that is excellent in long-term storage stability, can increase the concentration of silica fine particles in a reaction solution, and is excellent in productivity, and a method for producing the same.
従来、シリカゾルの製造方法としては、水ガラスと呼ばれる珪酸ナトリウム溶液を出発原料とする製造方法が知られている（特許文献１参照）。この製造方法では、珪酸ナトリウム溶液を陽イオン交換樹脂で処理して、ナトリウムイオンを始めとするイオンを取り除くことにより出発原料の純度を上昇させた後、シリカゾルの製造に供される。
しかしながら、この製造方法では、イオン交換による高純度化に限界があり、電子材料用途に必要とされるナトリウムなどのアルカリ金属や銅・ニッケル・アルミニウムなどの金属不純物の含有量を１ｐｐｍレベル以下に到達することは困難である。
Conventionally, as a method for producing silica sol, a production method using a sodium silicate solution called water glass as a starting material is known (see Patent Document 1). In this production method, a sodium silicate solution is treated with a cation exchange resin to remove ions such as sodium ions, and the purity of the starting material is increased, and then the silica sol is produced.
However, in this manufacturing method, there is a limit to high purity by ion exchange, and the content of alkali metals such as sodium and metal impurities such as copper, nickel, and aluminum required for electronic material applications has reached 1 ppm level or less. It is difficult to do.
高純度シリカゾルを得るその他の方法として正珪酸エチルなどの高純度アルコキシシランの加水分解による方法が知られている（特許文献２乃至４参照）。
しかしながら、従来知られているアルコキシシランの加水分解による製造方法では、反応溶液中のシリカ微粒子の濃度がある一定以上に上昇すると、シリカ微粒子の成長が均一に行なわれず、微細な粒子が混合したゾルが形成される。このために、粒子径の揃ったシリカゾルを得ようとすると、シリカ微粒子の濃度を低下させざるを得ず、生産性の面で問題があった。
As another method for obtaining a high-purity silica sol, a method by hydrolysis of a high-purity alkoxysilane such as normal ethyl silicate is known (see
However, in the conventionally known production method by hydrolysis of alkoxysilane, if the concentration of silica fine particles in the reaction solution rises above a certain level, silica fine particles are not grown uniformly, and a sol in which fine particles are mixed is used. Is formed. For this reason, when trying to obtain a silica sol having a uniform particle diameter, the concentration of the silica fine particles has to be lowered, which is problematic in terms of productivity.
本発明の解決しようとする課題は、高純度であることが要求される電子材料やシリコンウェハーなどの研磨材などの素材として好適に用いることができるとともに、シリカ微粒子の粒子径が揃っており、長期保存安定性に優れ、しかも、反応溶液中のシリカ微粒子の濃度を高濃度化することができ、生産性に優れるシリカゾル及びその製造方法を提供することである。 The problem to be solved by the present invention can be suitably used as a material such as an abrasive material such as an electronic material or a silicon wafer that is required to have high purity, and the particle size of silica fine particles is uniform, An object of the present invention is to provide a silica sol that is excellent in long-term storage stability, can increase the concentration of silica fine particles in a reaction solution, and is excellent in productivity, and a method for producing the same.

この工程（以下、（ａ）工程という。）は、ゾルゲル法によって、シリカゾルの調製が行なわれる。ゾルゲル法とは、金属の有機化合物溶液を出発原料として、溶液中の化合物の加水分解・重縮合によって溶液を金属の酸化物、或いは水酸化物の微粒子が溶解したゾルとし、更に反応を進ませてゲル化してできた非晶質ゲルを得る方法であり、本発明では、テトラメトキシシランをアルコール水溶液中で加水分解してシリカゾルを得る。 In this step (hereinafter referred to as (a) step), silica sol is prepared by a sol-gel method. In the sol-gel method, a metal organic compound solution is used as a starting material, and the solution is made into a sol in which fine particles of metal oxide or hydroxide are dissolved by hydrolysis and polycondensation of the compound in the solution, and the reaction proceeds further. In this invention, tetramethoxysilane is hydrolyzed in an alcohol aqueous solution to obtain a silica sol.

上述したＡ液とＣ液とをＢ液に添加することによりテトラメトキシシランを加水分解及び重縮合させて本発明に係るシリカゾルを製造することができる。
この加水分解・重縮合反応は、減圧下、常圧下、加圧下のいずれの圧力条件下で行なうことも可能である。
Ａ液とＣ液をＢ液に添加する際、Ａ液とＣ液は、それぞれ略一定量を同時または交互にＢ液に添加するようにする。Ａ液やＣ液の液量によっても異なるが、Ａ液及びＣ液の全量をＢ液に添加する際に要する時間は、好ましくは３０分以上、より好ましくは６０〜３００分程度とされる。
By adding the above-mentioned A liquid and C liquid to B liquid, tetramethoxysilane can be hydrolyzed and polycondensed to produce the silica sol according to the present invention.
This hydrolysis / polycondensation reaction can be carried out under any pressure condition of reduced pressure, normal pressure or increased pressure.
When liquid A and liquid C are added to liquid B, substantially constant amounts of liquid A and liquid C are added to liquid B simultaneously or alternately. Although it depends on the amount of liquid A or liquid C, the time required for adding the total amount of liquid A and liquid C to liquid B is preferably 30 minutes or more, more preferably about 60 to 300 minutes.
Ａ液及びＣ液をＢ液に添加する際の液温は特に限定されないが、０〜７０℃、好ましくは２０〜５０℃程度とされる。０℃未満の場合、未反応物が多く残りゲル状物が生成し易くなる場合があり、７０℃を超えると、気相で反応が起り、固い粒子が生成し易くなる場合がある。 Although the liquid temperature at the time of adding A liquid and C liquid to B liquid is not specifically limited, It is 0-70 degreeC, Preferably it is about 20-50 degreeC. When the temperature is less than 0 ° C., a large amount of unreacted material may remain and a gel-like material may be easily generated.

Ａ液、Ｂ液及びＣ液それぞれの添加量は特に限定されず、Ａ液、Ｂ液及びＣ液中に含まれるテトラメトキシシランやアルカリ触媒の含有量によって適宜任意に決定されるが、反応液全量（Ａ液＋Ｂ液＋Ｃ液）中の水濃度が２〜１２ｍｏｌ／Ｌ、より好ましくは３〜１０ｍｏｌ／Ｌとなるように調整される。２ｍｏｌ／Ｌ未満では未反応物が残り易く、１２ｍｏｌ／Ｌを超える場合、ゲル状物が副生して分散性が悪くなり、好ましくない。
テトラメトキシシランの濃度は０．５〜３．５ｍｏｌ／Ｌ、より好ましくは１．５〜２．５ｍｏｌ／Ｌとなるように調整される。０．５ｍｏｌ／Ｌ未満の場合、生産性が悪く、３．５ｍｏｌ／Ｌを超える場合、シリカ濃度が高くなり過ぎて凝集物が生成し易くなり、好ましくない。
The addition amount of each of the A liquid, the B liquid, and the C liquid is not particularly limited, and is arbitrarily determined as appropriate depending on the content of tetramethoxysilane and the alkali catalyst contained in the A liquid, the B liquid, and the C liquid. It is adjusted so that the water concentration in the total amount (A liquid + B liquid + C liquid) is 2 to 12 mol / L, more preferably 3 to 10 mol / L.

(Test Example 2: Confirmation of particle size growth 1)
In Example 1 above, when adding liquid A and liquid B to liquid C, a small sample was taken from liquid B to which liquid A and liquid C were added, and the specific surface area of the formed silica fine particles was measured. Thus, the relationship between the addition concentration of tetramethoxysilane and the specific surface area of the formed silica fine particles was measured. The results are listed in FIG.
（試験例３；粒径成長の確認２）
純水５９０．６ｇ、２６％アンモニア水７８．６ｇ、メタノール２３１１．４ｇの混合液に、テトラメトキシシラン１２１７．８ｇ、メタノール３３０．４ｇ混合液を、液温を２０℃に保ちつつ１２０分かけ滴下し、シリカゾルを得た。

(Test Example 3; Confirmation of particle size growth 2)
A mixed liquid of 590.6 g of pure water, 78.6 g of 26% ammonia water and 2311.4 g of methanol was added dropwise to a mixed liquid of 1217.8 g of tetramethoxysilane and 330.4 g of methanol over 120 minutes while maintaining the liquid temperature at 20 ° C. As a result, silica sol was obtained.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the case of Example 1, it was confirmed that the specific surface area of the silica fine particles was decreased (the particle diameter of the silica fine particles was increased) as the addition concentration of tetramethoxysilane was increased. That is, in Example 1, even when the concentration of tetramethoxysilane is increased, silica fine particles grow in proportion to the added concentration, and the reaction proceeds stably.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, in the case of Comparative Example 1, an increase in specific surface area was confirmed when the addition concentration of tetramethoxysilane was increased. That is, in Comparative Example 1, it was confirmed that fine particles were generated during the reaction, and it can be seen that the reaction did not proceed stably.
