Description

本発明は、ファインピッチ用鉛フリーのハンダ粉末の製造方法及びこの方法により製造されたハンダ粉末を用いてハンダ用ペーストを製造する方法に関する。更に詳しくは、平均粒径が5μm以下の微細なSn系ハンダ粉末の製造方法及びこの方法により製造されたハンダ粉末を用いてハンダ用ペーストを製造する方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a method for producing a lead-free solder powder for fine pitch and a method for producing a solder paste using the solder powder produced by this method. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for producing a fine Sn-based solder powder having an average particle size of 5 μm or less and a method for producing a solder paste using the solder powder produced by this method.

電子部品の接合に用いられるハンダは環境の面から鉛フリー化が進められ、現在では、錫を主成分としたハンダ粉末が採用されている。ハンダ粉末のような微細な金属粉末を得る方法としては、ガスアトマイズ法や回転ディスク法等のアトマイズ法の他に、メルトスピニング法、回転電極法、機械的プロセス、化学的プロセス等が知られている。ガスアトマイズ法は、誘導炉やガス炉で金属を溶融した後、タンディッシュの底のノズルから溶融金属を流下させ、その周囲より高圧ガスを吹き付けて粉化する方法である。また回転ディスク法は、遠心力アトマイズ法とも呼ばれ、溶融した金属を高速で回転するディスク上に落下させて、接線方向に剪断力を加えて破断して微細粉を作る方法である。   Solder used for joining electronic parts has been made lead-free from the viewpoint of the environment, and at present, solder powder mainly composed of tin is used. As a method for obtaining a fine metal powder such as a solder powder, in addition to an atomizing method such as a gas atomizing method or a rotating disk method, a melt spinning method, a rotating electrode method, a mechanical process, a chemical process, or the like is known. . The gas atomization method is a method in which after melting a metal in an induction furnace or a gas furnace, the molten metal is caused to flow down from a nozzle at the bottom of the tundish, and high pressure gas is sprayed from the surrounding area to pulverize. The rotating disk method is also called a centrifugal force atomizing method, and is a method in which molten metal is dropped on a rotating disk at high speed, and a shearing force is applied in a tangential direction to break and make a fine powder.

一方、電子部品の微細化とともに接合部品のファインピッチ化も進んでおり、より微細な粒径のハンダ粉末が求められているため、こうしたファインピッチ化に向けた技術の改良も盛んに行われている。例えば、ガスアトマイズ法を改良した技術として、ガスを巻き込ませた状態の金属溶湯をノズルから噴出させ、このノズルの周囲から高圧ガスを吹き付ける金属微粉末の製造方法が開示されている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。この特許文献1に記載の方法では、溶湯がノズルを通過する際にガスを巻き込ませることによって、ノズルから出湯した時点で溶湯がすでに分断され、より小さな粉末を製造することができる。   On the other hand, the fine pitch of joining parts is progressing along with the miniaturization of electronic parts, and there is a demand for solder powder with a finer particle size. Therefore, the technology for fine pitch is being actively improved. Yes. For example, as a technique for improving the gas atomization method, a method for producing a metal fine powder is disclosed in which a molten metal in a gas state is ejected from a nozzle and a high-pressure gas is blown from the periphery of the nozzle (for example, a patent document) 1). In the method described in Patent Document 1, by introducing gas when the molten metal passes through the nozzle, the molten metal is already divided when the molten metal is discharged from the nozzle, and a smaller powder can be manufactured.

また、回転ディスク法を改良した技術として、回転体に金属微粉末サイズ調整手段としてのメッシュを配し、このメッシュを通して溶融金属を飛散させる金属微粉末の製法が開示されている(例えば、特許文献2参照。)。この特許文献2に記載の方法では、従来の回転ディスク法に比べて微細な金属微粉末を効率良く生成できる。   Further, as an improved technique of the rotating disk method, a metal fine powder manufacturing method in which a mesh as metal fine powder size adjusting means is arranged on a rotating body and molten metal is scattered through the mesh is disclosed (for example, Patent Documents). 2). In the method described in Patent Document 2, fine metal fine powder can be efficiently generated as compared with the conventional rotating disk method.

更に、化学的プロセスを用いた技術として、本出願人は、中心核及び中心核を被包する被覆層で構成される構造を有する平均粒径5μm以下のハンダ粉末であって、中心核が錫よりも貴な金属或いは水素過電圧が低い金属である銀、銅、ビスマス、ゲルマニウム、ニッケル又はインジウムからなり、被覆層が錫からなることを特徴とするハンダ粉末を開示している(例えば、特許文献3参照。)。この特許文献3に示されるハンダ粉末では、錫よりも貴な金属或いは水素過電圧が低い金属とした中心核を構成する金属元素により、ハンダ合金の機械的強度が向上する。溶媒に中心核を構成する金属元素を含む化合物と被覆層を構成する金属元素を含む化合物及び分散剤をそれぞれ添加して混合することにより溶解液を調製し、この調製した溶解液に還元剤水溶液を添加して混合することにより、還元反応を生じさせ、錫よりも貴な金属或いは水素過電圧が低い金属を還元させて中心核を形成し、続いて錫が還元させて、錫を中心核の表面に析出させることで、上記構造の金属粉末を形成している。   Further, as a technique using a chemical process, the applicant of the present application is a solder powder having an average particle diameter of 5 μm or less having a structure composed of a central core and a coating layer encapsulating the central core, the central core being tin. Disclosed is a solder powder characterized in that it is made of silver, copper, bismuth, germanium, nickel, or indium, which is a noble metal or a metal having a lower hydrogen overvoltage, and the coating layer is made of tin (for example, patent document) 3). In the solder powder disclosed in Patent Document 3, the mechanical strength of the solder alloy is improved by the metal element constituting the central core made of a noble metal or a metal having a lower hydrogen overvoltage than tin. A solvent is prepared by adding a compound containing a metal element constituting the central core to the solvent, a compound containing the metal element constituting the coating layer, and a dispersing agent, and mixing them. An aqueous reducing agent solution is added to the prepared solution. Is added and mixed to cause a reduction reaction, and a noble metal or a metal having a lower hydrogen overvoltage than tin is reduced to form a central nucleus, and then tin is reduced, so that tin becomes a central nucleus. By depositing on the surface, the metal powder having the above structure is formed.

しかしながら、上記従来の特許文献1,2に示された、いわゆるアトマイズ法により微細な粉末を得るためには、この方法によって得られた金属粉末を更に分級して、ファインピッチ化に対応する5μm以下の微細なものを採取する必要がある。このため、歩留まりが非常に悪くなる。一方、7μm程度の粉末であれば、この方法でも歩留まりは良くなるものの、この程度の粒径のものでは、近年のファインピッチ化には十分に対応できない。   However, in order to obtain a fine powder by the so-called atomization method shown in the above-mentioned conventional Patent Documents 1 and 2, the metal powder obtained by this method is further classified to 5 μm or less corresponding to fine pitch formation. It is necessary to collect the fine thing. For this reason, a yield will become very bad. On the other hand, if the powder is about 7 μm, the yield is improved even with this method, but a particle having this particle size cannot sufficiently cope with the recent fine pitch.

また、上記特許文献3に示されたハンダ粉末のように、錫とは異なる種類の金属元素が核になっている場合、溶食反応の後に拡散が起こるため、ハンダバンプ形成の溶融時に時間がかかるため、濡れ性が悪いという問題を有していた。   In addition, as in the case of the solder powder shown in Patent Document 3, when a metal element of a different type from tin is used as a nucleus, diffusion occurs after the erosion reaction, so it takes time to melt the solder bump formation. For this reason, it has a problem of poor wettability.

本発明の第1の目的は、ファインピッチ化を実現するハンダ用ペーストに好適な微細なハンダ粉末であって、リフロー時の溶融拡散性が良く、ハンダバンプ形成時の組成制御が容易であり、濡れ性に優れた、ハンダ粉末を製造する方法を提供することにある。本発明の第2の目的は、このハンダ粉末を用いてハンダ用ペーストを製造する方法を提供することにある。 The first object of the present invention is a fine solder powder suitable for a solder paste that realizes fine pitch, has good melt diffusibility during reflow, easy composition control during solder bump formation, and wetness An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing solder powder having excellent properties. The second object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a solder paste using this solder powder.

本発明の第1の観点の方法及び第2の観点の方法により製造されたハンダ粉末は、中心核と中心核を被覆する被覆層で構成される平均粒径5μm以下のハンダ粉末において、中心核が銀、銅、ニッケル、インジウム、コバルト又は金からなる金属元素核と、この金属元素核の外周に金属元素と錫との金属間化合物層を有する2層構造からなり、被覆層が錫からなる。このように、本発明のハンダ粉末では、中心核を金属元素核と、この金属元素核の外周に金属元素と錫との金属間化合物層を有する2層構造としているため、中心核が金属元素のみで構成された従来のハンダ粉末に比べ、リフロー時の溶融拡散性が良く、ハンダバンプ形成時の組成制御が容易であり、濡れ性に優れる。また、平均粒径5μm以下と微細な粉末であるため、この粉末を原料としたハンダ用ペーストを基板等に印刷する際に、ファインピッチパターンで印刷できる。 The solder powder produced by the method according to the first aspect and the method according to the second aspect of the present invention is a solder powder having an average particle size of 5 μm or less composed of a central core and a coating layer covering the central core. but it becomes silver, copper, nickel, indium, a metal element nuclei consisting of cobalt or gold, a two-layer structure having an intermetallic compound layer of a metal element and tin on the outer periphery of the metal element core, the coating layer is made of tin . As described above, in the solder powder of the present invention, the central nucleus has a metal element nucleus and a two-layer structure having an intermetallic compound layer of a metal element and tin on the outer periphery of the metal element nucleus. Compared to the conventional solder powder composed only of the above, it has good melt diffusibility during reflow, easy composition control during solder bump formation, and excellent wettability. Further, since it is a fine powder having an average particle size of 5 μm or less, it can be printed with a fine pitch pattern when a solder paste made from this powder is printed on a substrate or the like.

本発明の第7の観点の方法で製造されたハンダ用ペーストは、上記本発明のハンダ粉末を用いて得られる。そのため、このハンダ用ペーストは、リフロー時の溶融が速く、濡れ性が非常に良いため、ハンダバンプ形成時に溶融したペーストが微細な球状になって飛散する、いわゆるソルダボールの発生を大幅に抑制することができる。また、形成後のハンダバンプにおける組成をより均一にできるため、溶け残りが生じないハンダバンプを形成することができる。更にハンダ粉末は5μm以下と微細であるため、このハンダ用ペーストを用いれば、基板等にファインピッチパターンで印刷でき、より微細な電子部品を実装できる。 The solder paste manufactured by the method of the seventh aspect of the present invention is obtained using the solder powder of the present invention. For this reason, this solder paste is rapidly melted at the time of reflow and has very good wettability, so that the paste melted at the time of solder bump formation becomes a fine sphere and scatters so-called solder balls are greatly suppressed. Can do. Further, since the composition of the solder bumps after formation can be made more uniform, it is possible to form solder bumps that do not cause unmelted residue. Furthermore, since the solder powder is as fine as 5 μm or less, if this solder paste is used, it can be printed on a substrate or the like with a fine pitch pattern, and a finer electronic component can be mounted.

本発明実施形態のハンダ粉末を模式的に表した図である。It is a figure showing typically solder powder of an embodiment of the present invention. 実施例2で得られたハンダ粉末におけるXRD測定結果である。It is a XRD measurement result in the solder powder obtained in Example 2.

次に本発明を実施するための形態を図面に基づいて説明する。   Next, an embodiment for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

本発明のハンダ粉末は、図1に示すように、中心核11と、この中心核を被覆する被覆層12により構成され、平均粒径が5μm以下、好ましくは0.1〜5μmの粉末である。ハンダ粉末の平均粒径を5μm以下に限定したのは、5μmを越えるとハンダ用ペーストを基板等にファインピッチパターンで印刷できず、微細な電子部品をハンダ用ペーストにより実装できないからである。なお、本明細書において、粉末の平均粒径とは、レーザー回折散乱法を用いた粒度分布測定装置(堀場製作所社製、レーザー回折/散乱式粒子径分布測定装置LA−950)にて測定した体積累積中位径(Median径、D50)をいう。そして、本発明のハンダ粉末の特徴ある構成は、中心核が銀、銅、ニッケル、インジウム、コバルト又は金からなる金属元素核と、この金属元素核の外周に金属元素と錫との金属間化合物層を有する2層構造からなり、被覆層が錫からなるところにある。 As shown in FIG. 1, the solder powder of the present invention comprises a central core 11 and a coating layer 12 covering the central core, and has an average particle size of 5 μm or less, preferably 0.1 to 5 μm. . The reason why the average particle size of the solder powder is limited to 5 μm or less is that when it exceeds 5 μm, the solder paste cannot be printed on the substrate or the like in a fine pitch pattern, and fine electronic components cannot be mounted with the solder paste. In the present specification, the average particle size of the powder was measured with a particle size distribution measuring device (Horiba Seisakusho, laser diffraction / scattering particle size distribution measuring device LA-950) using a laser diffraction scattering method. Volume cumulative median diameter (Median diameter, D 50 ). The characteristic configuration of the solder powder of the present invention, the central core is silver, copper, nickel, indium, cobalt or a metal element core made of gold, an intermetallic compound of a metal element and tin on the outer periphery of the metal element nuclei It has a two-layer structure having layers, and the coating layer is made of tin.

このように、本発明のハンダ粉末は、中心核を金属元素核と、この金属元素核の外周に金属元素と錫との金属間化合物層を有する2層構造としているため、中心核が金属元素のみで構成された従来のハンダ粉末に比べ、リフロー時の溶融拡散性が良く、ハンダバンプ形成時の組成制御が容易であり、濡れ性に優れる。また、平均粒径5μm以下と微細な粉末であるため、この粉末を原料としたハンダ用ペーストを基板等に印刷する際に、ファインピッチパターンで印刷できる。   Thus, the solder powder of the present invention has a two-layer structure in which the central nucleus has a metal element nucleus and an intermetallic compound layer of a metal element and tin on the outer periphery of the metal element nucleus. Compared to the conventional solder powder composed only of the above, it has good melt diffusibility during reflow, easy composition control during solder bump formation, and excellent wettability. Further, since it is a fine powder having an average particle size of 5 μm or less, it can be printed with a fine pitch pattern when a solder paste made from this powder is printed on a substrate or the like.

The pH of the solution is preferably adjusted to a range of 0 to 2.0 in consideration of redissolution of the generated solder powder. In addition, after adding and dissolving each of the compound containing the metal element and the compound containing tin element in the solvent, a complexing agent may be added to complex each metal element, and then a dispersant may be added. .

次に、還元剤を溶解した水溶液を調製し、この水溶液のpHを、上記調製した溶解液と同程度に調整する。還元剤としては、テトラヒドロホウ酸ナトリウム、ジメチルアミンボラン等のホウ素水素化物、ヒドラジン等の窒素化合物、三価のチタンイオンや2価のクロムイオン等の金属イオン等が挙げられる。   Next, an aqueous solution in which the reducing agent is dissolved is prepared, and the pH of the aqueous solution is adjusted to the same level as that of the prepared solution. Examples of the reducing agent include boron hydrides such as sodium tetrahydroborate and dimethylamine borane, nitrogen compounds such as hydrazine, metal ions such as trivalent titanium ions and divalent chromium ions, and the like.

次に、上記溶解液に還元剤水溶液を添加して混合することにより、溶解液中の各金属イオンが還元され、液中に金属粉末が分散した分散液が得られる。この還元反応では、先ず、錫よりも貴な金属又は水素過電圧が低い金属が還元されて中心核が形成される。続いて錫が還元され、形成された中心核の表面に錫が析出することにより、中心核とこの中心核を被覆する錫で構成された、平均粒径5μm以下の金属粉末が形成される。   Next, by adding a reducing agent aqueous solution to the solution and mixing, each metal ion in the solution is reduced, and a dispersion in which metal powder is dispersed in the solution is obtained. In this reduction reaction, first, a noble metal or a metal having a lower hydrogen overvoltage than tin is reduced to form a central nucleus. Subsequently, tin is reduced, and tin is deposited on the surface of the formed central core, thereby forming a metal powder having an average particle diameter of 5 μm or less, which is composed of the central core and tin covering the central core.

ニッケル又はコバルトを中心核とする場合には、先ず、溶媒に中心核の金属間化合物を構成する金属元素を含む化合物、即ちニッケル又はコバルトを含む化合物と分散剤とをそれぞれ添加して混合することにより溶解液を調製する。溶媒及び分散剤には上記と同等のものを使用できる。使用されるニッケル化合物としては、塩化ニッケル(II)、硫酸ニッケル(II)六水和物又は硝酸ニッケル(II)六水和物等が挙げられる。コバルト化合物としては、塩化コバルト(II)又は硝酸コバルト(II)又は硫酸コバルト(II)等が挙げられる。調製した溶解液はpH調整する。溶解液のpHは、生成したハンダ粉末の再溶解等を考慮して、0〜2.0の範囲に調整するのが好ましい。 When the central core of nickel or cobalt, first, compounds containing metal elements constituting the intermetallic compound of the central core in a solvent, i.e., mixing by adding respectively with a compound containing nickel or cobalt dispersing agent and the Prepare the lysate.

As the reducing agent, the same one as described above can be used, and the pH of the aqueous solution is adjusted to the same level as the prepared solution.

次に、中心核の金属間化合物や被覆層を構成する錫元素を含む化合物及び分散剤とを上記溶解液と同程度のpHに調整し、先ほどの混合液に追加することにより、錫が先ほどの金属核を中心として成長し、中心核とこの中心核を被覆する錫で構成された、平均粒径5μm以下の金属粉末が形成される。   Next, by adjusting the intermetallic compound of the central core and the compound containing the tin element constituting the coating layer and the dispersant to the same pH as the above-mentioned solution, and adding to the previous mixture, tin is Thus, a metal powder having an average particle size of 5 μm or less, which is composed of the central core and tin covering the central core, is formed.

このような反応は微細な粒径の粉末が製造し易いという効果がある。溶解液と還元剤水溶液を混合する方法としては、容器内の溶解液に所定の添加速度で還元剤水溶液を滴下し、スターラ等で攪拌する方法や、所定の径を有する反応チューブを用い、この反応チューブ内に両液を所定の流量で注ぎ込み、混合させる方法等が挙げられる。   Such a reaction has an effect that it is easy to produce a fine particle size powder. As a method of mixing the dissolving solution and the reducing agent aqueous solution, the reducing agent aqueous solution is dropped into the dissolving solution in the container at a predetermined addition rate and stirred with a stirrer or a reaction tube having a predetermined diameter. Examples include a method of pouring both solutions into a reaction tube at a predetermined flow rate and mixing them.

次いで、この分散液を、デカンテーション等によって固液分離し、回収した固形分を水又はpHを0.5〜2に調整した塩酸水溶液、硝酸水溶液、硫酸水溶液、或いはメタノール、エタノール、アセトン等で洗浄する。洗浄後は、再度固液分離して固形分を回収する。洗浄から固液分離までの工程を、好ましくは2〜5回繰り返す。   Then, this dispersion is subjected to solid-liquid separation by decantation or the like, and the collected solid content is water or a hydrochloric acid aqueous solution, a nitric acid aqueous solution, a sulfuric acid aqueous solution, or methanol, ethanol, acetone, etc., adjusted to a pH of 0.5-2. Wash. After washing, the solid content is recovered by solid-liquid separation again. The steps from washing to solid-liquid separation are preferably repeated 2 to 5 times.

次に、回収した固形分に、沸点が100℃以上の高沸点溶媒を加えて分散させ、不活性ガス雰囲気下、所定の温度で加熱する。この加熱処理を施すことにより、上記還元反応で形成された金属粉末の金属元素からなる中心核と、中心核と接触している被覆層の一部が反応して、金属元素核と、この金属元素核の外周を被覆する金属元素と錫との金属間化合物層の2層構造からなる中心核が形成され、この中心核を錫からなる被覆層で被覆した構成となる。   Next, a high-boiling solvent having a boiling point of 100 ° C. or higher is added to the recovered solid content and dispersed, and heated at a predetermined temperature in an inert gas atmosphere. By performing this heat treatment, the central core composed of the metal element of the metal powder formed by the above reduction reaction reacts with a part of the coating layer in contact with the central core, and the metal element nucleus and the metal A central nucleus having a two-layer structure of an intermetallic compound layer of a metal element and tin covering the outer periphery of the element nucleus is formed, and the central nucleus is covered with a coating layer made of tin.

金属元素に銀を用いたとき、100℃〜120℃で20分間〜1時間加熱することが好ましく、110℃で30分間加熱することが特に好ましい。また、銅を用いたとき、70℃〜100℃で20分間〜1時間加熱することが好ましく、90℃で30分間加熱することが特に好ましい。また、ニッケルを用いたとき、100℃〜130℃で20分間〜1時間加熱することが好ましく、120℃で30分間加熱することが特に好ましい。また、インジウムを用いたとき、60℃〜80℃で20分間〜1時間加熱することが好ましく、70℃で30分間加熱することが特に好ましい。また、コバルトを用いたとき、90〜110℃で20分間〜1時間加熱することが好ましく、100℃で30分間加熱することが特に好ましい。また、金を用いたとき、140〜160℃で20分間〜1時間加熱することが好ましく、150℃で30分間加熱することが特に好ましい。   When silver is used as the metal element, it is preferably heated at 100 ° C. to 120 ° C. for 20 minutes to 1 hour, and particularly preferably heated at 110 ° C. for 30 minutes. Moreover, when using copper, it is preferable to heat at 70 to 100 degreeC for 20 minutes to 1 hour, and it is especially preferable to heat at 90 degreeC for 30 minutes. When nickel is used, it is preferably heated at 100 ° C. to 130 ° C. for 20 minutes to 1 hour, particularly preferably heated at 120 ° C. for 30 minutes. When indium is used, it is preferably heated at 60 ° C. to 80 ° C. for 20 minutes to 1 hour, and particularly preferably heated at 70 ° C. for 30 minutes. Moreover, when cobalt is used, it is preferable to heat at 90-110 degreeC for 20 minutes-1 hour, and it is especially preferable to heat at 100 degreeC for 30 minutes. Further, when gold is used, it is preferably heated at 140 to 160 ° C. for 20 minutes to 1 hour, and particularly preferably heated at 150 ° C. for 30 minutes.

なお上記温度未満での加熱、或いは保持時間が短い加熱では、中心核に金属間化合物層が形成されず、また上記温度を越える加熱では、錫被膜の酸化により溶融性が低下する不具合が生じる。なお、必要以上に保持時間が長い加熱を施すと、中心核の全てが金属間化合物になる。   When heating is performed at a temperature lower than the above temperature or when the holding time is short, an intermetallic compound layer is not formed on the central core. When heating is performed at a temperature exceeding the above temperature, the melting property is lowered due to oxidation of the tin coating. When heating is performed for a longer holding time than necessary, all of the central core becomes an intermetallic compound.

加熱後は、再度上記洗浄から固液分離までの工程を、好ましくは2〜5回繰り返した後、回収した固形分を真空乾燥させることにより、本発明のハンダ粉末を得ることができる。   After heating, the steps from washing to solid-liquid separation are preferably repeated 2 to 5 times, and then the collected solid content is vacuum dried to obtain the solder powder of the present invention.

なお、この実施の形態では、金属元素からなる中心核と、この中心核を被覆する錫からなる被覆層から構成された金属粉末の製造に、還元反応による化学的手法を用いたが、中心核の製造には、アトマイズ法のような物理的手法でも可能である。   In this embodiment, a chemical method based on a reduction reaction is used for the production of metal powder composed of a central core made of a metal element and a coating layer made of tin covering the central core. For the production of this, a physical method such as an atomizing method is also possible.

以上の工程により、本発明のハンダ粉末を得ることができる。このハンダ粉末は、ハンダ用フラックスと混合してペースト化して得られるハンダ用ペーストの材料として好適に用いられる。ハンダ用ペーストの調製は、例えばハンダ用フラックスを、好ましくは10〜30質量%、更に好ましくは10〜25質量%混合してペースト化することにより行われる。ハンダ用フラックスの混合量を10〜30質量%とするのは、10質量%未満ではフラックス不足でペースト化できず、30質量%を越えるとペースト中のフラックスの含有割合が多すぎて金属の含有割合が少なくなってしまい、ハンダ溶融時に所望のサイズのハンダバンプを得ることができないからである。   Through the above steps, the solder powder of the present invention can be obtained. This solder powder is suitably used as a material for a solder paste obtained by mixing with a solder flux to form a paste. The solder paste is prepared, for example, by mixing a solder flux, preferably 10-30% by mass, more preferably 10-25% by mass, into a paste. The amount of solder flux mixed is set to 10 to 30% by mass. If the amount is less than 10% by mass, the flux cannot be made into a paste due to insufficient flux. If the amount exceeds 30% by mass, the content of the flux in the paste is too high. This is because the ratio decreases, and a solder bump having a desired size cannot be obtained when the solder is melted.

このハンダ用ペーストは、上記本発明のハンダ粉末を材料としているため、溶融性及び濡れ性が非常に良く、ソルダボールが生じにくい点で優れる。また、形成後のハンダバンプにおける組成をより均一できるため、これを用いて形成されるハンダバンプは、溶け残りが生じない点で優れる。更に5μm以下の微細なハンダ粉末によって調製されるため、このハンダ用ペーストを用いれば、基板等にファインピッチパターンで印刷でき、高さのバラツキが少ないハンダバンプを形成することができる。そのため、このハンダ用ペーストは、より微細な電子部品の実装に好適に用いることができる。   Since this solder paste is made of the above-described solder powder of the present invention, it is excellent in that it has very good meltability and wettability, and hardly produces solder balls. Further, since the composition of the solder bumps after formation can be made more uniform, the solder bumps formed using this are excellent in that no undissolved residue occurs. Furthermore, since it is prepared with a fine solder powder of 5 μm or less, by using this solder paste, it is possible to print on a substrate or the like with a fine pitch pattern, and to form a solder bump with little height variation. Therefore, this solder paste can be suitably used for mounting finer electronic components.
