  Examples of the method for producing the spherical inorganic powder made of silica or alumina include a method (VMC method) obtained by oxidizing a corresponding metal powder in an oxygen-containing atmosphere, a flame melting method, and the like.

  In the VMC method, a chemical flame is formed by a burner in an atmosphere containing oxygen, and an amount of metal powder that forms part of the target oxide particles is added to the chemical flame so that a dust cloud is formed. This is a method for obtaining spherical oxide particles by deflagration.

  In the flame melting method, the metal oxide constituting the target spherical metal oxide particles is pulverized by pulverization or the like, and then charged and dissolved in a flame. It is a manufacturing method.

  Regardless of which method is used, it is necessary to transport the raw material powder into the flame. In this case, pulsation may occur due to causes such as the raw material powder agglomerating or adhering to the transportation path, and transportation may not proceed smoothly.If transportation does not proceed smoothly, the production conditions will change greatly and the desired properties Thus, a spherical inorganic powder having a particle size cannot be obtained.

As a conventional technique for dealing with this problem, there is a method for producing a spherical inorganic fine powder in which an inorganic raw material powder is sprayed into a flame to form a spheroid, and the surface of the dispersion system is applied to the inorganic raw material powder having an average particle size of 0.5 to 3 μm. After mixing the treatment agent, spraying on the flame of the thermal spray burner prevents the inorganic raw material powder from adhering to the thermal spray burner and piping, and prevents increase of particles during thermal spraying due to aggregation of the raw material powder. A manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus for spherical inorganic fine powder characterized by the above is disclosed (Patent Document 1). Patent Document 1 discloses a silane coupling agent as a dispersion surface treatment agent.

(Method for producing spherical inorganic powder)
Hereinafter, the manufacturing method of the spherical inorganic powder of the present invention will be described in detail according to the embodiment. Method for producing a spherical inorganic powder of the present embodiment is applied to a melting method. Note that the melting method and the VMC method are not exclusive manufacturing methods, and can be combined as a configuration as described in the VMC method. In other words, it is possible to change the production conditions by mixing the inorganic material constituting the spherical inorganic powder produced in the raw material inorganic powder to be combusted by the VMC method, so that the spherical inorganic material having various properties can be obtained. Powder can be manufactured.

(1) Melting Method The method for producing a spherical inorganic powder according to this embodiment is a method for producing a spherical inorganic powder by heating and melting the raw inorganic powder, and includes a surface treatment step and a spheroidizing step. The form of the raw material inorganic powder is not particularly limited, but the particle size (particle size distribution) of the spherical inorganic powder produced varies depending on the particle size (particle size distribution) of the raw material inorganic powder. The particle size (particle size distribution) is set so that the particle size distribution can be realized.

The raw inorganic powder is crushed silica or crushed lead-free low-melting glass. Furthermore, you may mix the compound volatilized by heating like a certain kind of organic substance.

  Since the raw material inorganic powder having a volume average particle size of 0.1 μm to 5.0 μm is likely to cause adhesion and aggregation in the transportation path, it is desirable to employ the manufacturing method of this embodiment.

The surface treatment step is a step of bringing a raw material inorganic powder into contact with an organosilazane to obtain a treated raw material inorganic powder. The organosilazanes are not particularly limited as long as they are compounds having Si—NH—Si bonds and having one or more hydrocarbon groups. Examples thereof include disilazane: (R ₃ Si) ₂ NH and cyclosilazane: (R ₂ SiNH) _n . Here, all R are independently selectable hydrocarbon groups. In particular, it is desirable to employ hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS). Organosilazane compound is desirably used in surface area 1 m ² per 0.05μ moles ~5μ mols of raw material inorganic material powder, it is more desirable to use a range of 0.07μ mol ~3μ mol. Here, the surface area of the raw inorganic powder was measured by the BET method using nitrogen gas.

  The method for bringing the organosilazane into contact with the raw material inorganic powder is not particularly limited. For example, when the organosilazane is in a liquid state, it can be mixed as it is or as a solution using some solvent. In particular, by adding organosilazanes with good stirring in a mixer or pulverizer, it can be more uniformly adhered to the surface of the raw material inorganic powder. The method for adding the organosilazanes is not particularly limited, but it is desirable to add the organosilazanes atomized using a sprayer as they are or as a solution using some solvent. In addition, a part of the raw material inorganic powder can be processed by bringing the organosilazane into contact with the surface of the raw material inorganic powder and then mixing the remaining raw material inorganic powder with the remaining raw material inorganic powder. Here, the organosilazanes may be those that are simply attached to the surface of the raw material inorganic powder, or those that undergo a chemical reaction with the surface of the raw material inorganic powder.

  The spheronization process has a conveyance process, a melting process, and a solidification process. After the raw material inorganic powder is transported in the transporting process, the raw material inorganic powder is melted and spheroidized in the melting process, and the melted raw material inorganic powder is solidified in the solidifying process.

  The transporting process is a process of transporting the processed raw material inorganic powder together with the carrier gas. The processed raw material inorganic powder stored in a hopper or the like is conveyed by being supplied into a transport path through which a carrier gas is circulated. As the carrier gas, a gas that does not cause an undesired reaction with the treated raw inorganic powder is selected. Nitrogen, air, oxygen, rare gases such as argon can be employed. In particular, it is desirable to use nitrogen or air from the viewpoint of cost unless it is a raw material inorganic powder composed of a highly reactive material, especially when transporting at room temperature.

  The melting step is a step of dispersing and heating the processed raw material inorganic powder in a high-temperature flame. The melting step is preferably performed in a heating furnace. Although a heating furnace is not specifically limited, It is desirable to select the material which comprises the wall of a heating furnace according to the purity requested | required of the spherical inorganic powder to manufacture. For example, when the spherical inorganic powder to be manufactured is required to have a uranium concentration of a predetermined value or less, the wall of the heating furnace in which the raw inorganic powder and the spherical inorganic powder may come into contact with each other It is desirable to control the uranium concentration in the material that constitutes low.

  The solidification step is a step in which the raw material inorganic powder heated and melted in the melting step is recovered from the flame and cooled and solidified. In order to cool and solidify, it is necessary to collect the spheroidized raw material inorganic powder from the flame, but the method of collecting from the flame is not limited.

  The following processes can be mentioned as an example of a coagulation process. Since the raw inorganic powder dispersed in the flame in the melting process is melted by the heat of the flame and then descends by its own weight, the temperature of the space below is lowered without forming a flame below the heating furnace. Thus, it is possible to employ a process in which the raw inorganic powder that has been melted and spheroidized is solidified in the lower space of the heating furnace. When this configuration is adopted, the spherical inorganic powder formed by cooling and solidification can be recovered by sucking the contents from a recovery port formed below the heating furnace, for example, below.

( Reference ) VMC Method The spherical inorganic powder manufacturing method of the present embodiment is produced by burning a raw material inorganic powder made of metal in a flame, and reacting the metal with the atmospheric gas in the flame, thereby causing the spherical inorganic substance to react. A method for producing a powder, which includes a surface treatment step and a spheronization step. The form of the raw material inorganic powder is not particularly limited, but the particle size (particle size distribution) of the spherical inorganic powder produced varies depending on the particle size (particle size distribution) of the raw material inorganic powder. The particle size (particle size distribution) is set so that the particle size distribution can be realized.

  The metal constituting the raw inorganic powder is a material capable of forming a spherical inorganic powder after burning. For example, when the spherical inorganic powder is formed from a metal oxide (such as silica or alumina), a raw material inorganic powder composed of the corresponding metal (silicon, aluminum) is used. The purity of these metals is adjusted according to the purity required for the spherical inorganic powder finally produced. And as raw material inorganic substance powder, not only a single metal but the mixture of a some metal may be sufficient as needed. Moreover, you may mix the compound volatilized by combustion like a certain kind of organic substance.

  Further, if necessary, a powder formed from an inorganic substance (for example, silica, alumina, etc.) constituting the spherical inorganic powder can be contained in the raw inorganic powder (adopting a structure similar to the melting method). In that case, it is desirable to treat the powder with organosilazanes.

  The surface treatment step is a step of bringing a raw material inorganic powder into contact with an organosilazane to obtain a treated raw material inorganic powder. Since this surface treatment process is the same as the surface treatment process in the melting method described above except that the kind of raw material inorganic powder to be treated is different, further explanation is omitted.

Since the same process as the process demonstrated in the melting method mentioned above can be employ | adopted for a conveyance process and a solidification process, the further description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The combustion process is a process in which the processed raw material inorganic powder transported in the transport process is dispersed in a high-temperature flame and burned. The high-temperature flame contains an atmospheric gas containing an element selected according to the elements composing the spherical inorganic powder to be produced. For example, when the inorganic substance constituting the spherical inorganic powder is silica (alumina), the raw inorganic powder is made of silicon (aluminum), and the atmosphere gas is selected to contain oxygen. In the combustion step, silicon in the raw material inorganic powder reacts with oxygen in the atmospheric gas, so that the combustion reaction proceeds to form silica.

It becomes difficult to occur.

  The heating furnace has an internal space. The internal space is a space in which the processed raw material inorganic powder is conveyed. The treated raw material inorganic powder is heated in the internal space. In the case of the melting method, this heat treatment is a treatment in which the treated raw material inorganic powder is heated and melted, and in the case of the VMC method, the treated raw material inorganic powder is burned.

  There is a flame generator inside the interior space. The flame generator is a device that generates a high-temperature flame, and includes a supply nozzle that supplies a combustible gas and a combustion-supporting gas and opens into the internal space. Examples of the combustible gas include hydrocarbon gases such as methane, propane, and acetylene, hydrogen gas, and examples of the combustion supporting gas include oxygen. In particular, when applied to the VMC method, oxygen used in the VMC method can be supplied by excessively adding oxygen as a combustion support gas. When a gas other than oxygen is used in the VMC method, the gas may be mixed with a carrier gas, a combustible gas and / or a combustion-supporting gas and supplied.

  The unloading means is means for unloading the inorganic powder after the heat treatment from the inside of the heating furnace. For example, a suction device provided with a bag filter or the like can be cited, and this device separates the spherical inorganic powder that floats by sucking the internal gas from an opening opening below the heating furnace.

(Production method of resin composition)
The resin composition produced by the resin composition production method of the present embodiment is a mixture of the spherical inorganic powder and the organic resin material, and the spherical inorganic powder is dispersed in the organic resin material. is there. The resin composition can be used as a semiconductor liquid sealing material for sealing semiconductor elements and electronic devices, as well as substrate materials, adhesives, sealing materials, fillers, resist materials, inorganic pastes, coating agents, precision molding resins.

It can be used alone or in combination.

  In particular, an epoxy resin is preferable from the viewpoints of availability, handleability, and the like. Although an epoxy resin is not specifically limited, The monomer, oligomer, and polymer which have two or more epoxy groups in 1 molecule are mentioned. For example, biphenyl type epoxy resin, stilbene type epoxy resin, bisphenol type epoxy resin, triphenol methane type epoxy resin, alkyl modified triphenol methane type epoxy resin, dicyclopentadiene modified phenol type epoxy resin, naphthol type epoxy resin, triazine core containing An epoxy resin is mentioned.

(Test 2)

(Example 8)
Using the test powder of Example 6, spherical inorganic powder was produced by the melting method. The apparatus shown in FIG. 1 was used. Oxygen was used as carrier gas A. A heating furnace having a heat retaining structure was adopted.

Using the test powder of Reference Example 1 , a spherical inorganic powder was produced by the VMC method. The apparatus shown in FIG. 1 was used. Air was used as carrier gas A. A heating furnace having a heat removal structure was adopted.

(Comparative Example 5)
Using the test powder of Comparative Example 4, spherical inorganic powder was produced by the melting method. The apparatus shown in FIG. 1 was used. Oxygen was used as carrier gas A. A heating furnace having a heat retaining structure was adopted.

(result)
The volume average particle diameter was measured with LA500 manufactured by Horiba. The sphericity is calculated from (Sphericality) = {4π × (Projected area) ÷ (Ambient length) ² } by measuring the projected area and circumference of a predetermined number of particles based on the observation result with SEM. did. The sphericity was determined as an average value after measuring 100 for each spherical inorganic powder of each example and comparative example. The results are shown in Table 2.

  As apparent from Table 2, the spherical inorganic powders of Examples 7 and 8 produced by the melting method using the test powders (Examples 4 and 6) surface-treated with HMDS were used as raw materials. It had a volume average particle diameter that was almost the same as the volume average particle diameter of the powder. This can be presumed to originate from the fact that it became possible to stably supply the test powder as a raw material.

  On the other hand, the volume average of the spherical inorganic powder produced in Comparative Example 5 was the same as Example 8 except that the test powder of Comparative Example 4 that was not treated with HMDS was used. The particle size was 6.0 μm, which was found to be significantly larger than the average particle size of the raw material was 3.2 μm. This is because, in Comparative Example 5, the amount of the test powder as a raw material greatly fluctuates as ± 40 kg / hour, so that stable supply of the test powder is not realized, and the particles of the test powder are not realized. It was presumed that a plurality of particles were fused to a particle size larger than that of the raw material. It can be inferred from the value of sphericity that a plurality is fused. That is, the sphericity of the spherical inorganic powder of Comparative Example 5 is 0.87, and compared with the sphericity of 0.97 of the spherical inorganic powder of Example 8 in which the manufacturing conditions other than the surface treatment are the same. This is a low value, confirming that multiple fusions have progressed.

As is apparent from the results of Reference Example 2 (described as “ Example 9 ” in the table ) , even when spherical inorganic powder is produced by the VMC method, the sphericity is very stable at 0.99. It has been found that it is possible to provide spherical inorganic powders of the same quality.

It is a schematic diagram which shows the outline of the manufacturing apparatus of the spherical inorganic substance powder used in the Example.
