Abstract
An anisotropic conductive adhesive film capable of maintaining a high connection reliability on connection electrodes with a fine pitch on which an oxide film is formed.
The anisotropic conductive adhesive film 1 comprises conductive particles 7 dispersed in an insulating binder 6. Each conductive particle 7 consists of a styrene resin particle 71 and a thin metal film 72 formed on the surface thereof by gold-plating, etc. Projections 72 a are formed on the surface of the thin metal film 72 of the conductive particle 7.
Description
- This invention relates to an anisotropic conductive adhesive film to be used in, for example, electrically connecting a liquid crystal display (LCD) to a circuit board.
- It has been a practice to connect, for example, a liquid crystal device to an integrated circuit board, etc. by using anisotropic conductive adhesive films.
- These anisotropic conductive adhesive films are used in fixing and electrically connecting various terminals to each other, for example, in connecting the connection electrode of a tape carrier package (TCP) or an IC chip to a pattern electrode formed in the glass board of an LCD panel.
- In general, an anisotropic conductive adhesive film comprises an insulating binder containing conductive particles. As the conductive particles in this case, use is made of those obtained by forming a conductive thin film by for example, nickel- or gold-plating on the surface of particles made of metals (nickel, silver, etc.) or resins.
- A fine pitch (pitch: about 60 μm) and a high connective reliability (about 1,000 hours at 85° C. under relative humidity of 85%) are required in connecting an LCD panel with the use of a wiring pattern made of aluminum (Al) or chromium (Cr) on which an oxide film is frequently formed on the surface of an electrode pattern.
- However, these requirements cannot be satisfied by the prior art.
- In the case of an anisotropic conductive adhesive film comprising conductive particles made of a metal (Ni, etc.), namely, electricity passes through an oxide film formed on an electrode pattern but a fine pitch cannot be established due to the irregular particle diameter of the metallic particles. In this case, there arises an additional problem that the small linear expansion coefficient, compared with that of the binder, brings about a low connective reliability after heat aging.
- In the case of an anisotropic conductive adhesive film with the use of conductive particles obtained by metal-plating resin particles, on the other hand, a fine pitch can be established on a pattern electrode on which no oxide film is formed. However, such an anisotropic conductive adhesive film suffers from a problem of having a high initial resistance to a pattern electrode on which an oxide film is formed.
- The present invention, which has been made to solve these problems encountering in the prior art, aims at providing an anisotropic conductive adhesive film capable of maintaining a high connective reliability on connection electrodes with a fine pitch on which an oxide film is formed.
- The present inventors have conducted intensive studies to achieve the above-described object. As a result, they have successfully found out that connection electrodes with a fine pitch each having an oxide film can be surely connected to each other by forming specific projections on the surface of a conductive thin film of conductive particles consisting of resin particles and the conductive thin film formed thereon, thus completing the present invention.
- According to a present invention, which has been completed based on the finding as described above, relates to an anisotropic conductive adhesive film for electrically connecting terminals to each other which comprising an insulating adhesive formed in a film, and conductive particles being dispersed in an insulating adhesive, and consisting of resin particles having a conductive thin film on the surface thereof and wherein projections are formed on the surface of the conductive thin film.
- In the present invention, projections are formed on the surface of the conductive thin film on resin particles. Under pressure, therefore, the projections of the conductive thin film of the conductive particles break through the oxide films of connection electrodes and thus the connection electrodes can be surely connected electrically to each other.
- On the other hand, conductive particles having resin particles as the core are used therein, which makes it possible to achieve a regular particle diameter. When the insulating binder is loosened between the connection electrodes after the aging, moreover, the contact of the projections of the conductive thin film with the connection electrodes can be maintained owing to the elastic rebound of the resin particles, thus ensuring a high conductive reliability.
- As described above, the present invention makes it possible to provide an anisotropic conductive adhesive film capable of maintaining a high connective reliability on connection electrodes with a fine pitch on which an oxide film is formed.
- In the present invention, it is effective that the resin particles have such a hardness as giving a K value at 10% compressive deformation of from 1×102 to 2×103 kgf/mm2.
- In the present invention, it is also effective that the resin particles have a recovery ratio from 10% compressive deformation of 5% or above.
- In the present invention, it is also effective that the conductive thin film has a compressive elastic modulus of 1.5×104 kgf/mm2 or above.
- When the hardness and the recovery ratio of the resin particles are defined each within a specific range, or the compressive elastic modulus of the conductive thin film is set to a level sufficiently higher than the hardness of the resin particles, the projection can break through the oxide film of the pattern electrode due to the elastic rebound of the resin particles caused by the compressive deformation under pressure. Thus, the connection electrodes can be surely connected to each other via these conductive particles.
- In the present invention, it is also effective that 4 to 300, on average, projections are formed on the surface of the conductive thin film.

- FIG. 2 is an example of electron microscopic photographs (5,000×magnification) showing the structure of the conductive particles to be used in the present invention.
- As FIG. 1 shows, the anisotropic conductive
adhesive film 1 of the present invention, which is to be used in, for example, connectingelectrodes 3 of acircuit board 2 toelectrodes 5 of a glass panel 4, comprisesconductive particles 7 dispersed in a filmy insulating binder resin (insulating binder) 6. Theelectrodes 3 of thecircuit board 2 adjacent to each other have a pitch of about 60 μm. - In this embodiment, an
oxide film 8 is formed on the surface of theelectrode 3 of thecircuit board 2, as shown in FIG. 1 (c). - In the present invention, use can be made, as the
insulating binder resin 6, of those containing epoxy resins as the main component together with coupling agents, curing agents, etc. - This anisotropic conductive
adhesive film 1 is formed on a separate film made of, for example, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and the surface of the anisotropic conductiveadhesive film 1 may be covered, if necessary, with a cover film, though not shown in the figure. - As the
conductive particles 7, on the other hand, use is made of those obtained by coating aresin particle 71 with a thin metal film (a conductive thin film) 72 and formingprojections 72 a on the surface of thethin metal film 72, as will be described hereinafter. - As the
resin particles 71, it is possible to use those made of resins such as epoxy resin, phenolic resin, acrylic resin, acrylonitrile/styrene (AS) resin, benzoguanamine resin, divinyl benzene resin, styrene resin, etc. - From the viewpoint of ensuring the adequate conductive reliability, the average particle diameter of the
resin particles 71 preferably ranges from 2 to 10 μm, more preferably form 3 to 8 μm. To ensure the adequate conductive reliability too, it is preferable that the dispersion in the particle diameter of theresin particles 71 falls within a range of ±2 μm. - It is preferable that the
resin particles 71 have such a hardness as giving a K value at 10% compressive deformation of from 100 to 2,000 kgf/mm2 (1 kgf/mm2=9.80665 MPa), more preferably from 200 to 1,500 kgf/mm2. - When the K value at 10% compressive deformation of the
resin particles 71 is less than 100 kgf/mm2, theresin particles 71 are largely deformed under pressure and thus theprojections 72 a of thethin metal film 72 cannot adequately break through the oxide film, thus resulting in a problem that the conductive resistance is elevated. When the K value thereof exceeds 2,000 kgf/mm2, on the other hand, theresin particles 71 cannot be adequately deformed so as to fail to make up for the dispersion in the thickness of the electrode terminals. In this case, there arise additional problems such as a high pressure being required in the pressuring step, the enlarged elastic rebound among the conductive particles causing interfacial separation, etc. - Further, it is preferable that the
resin particles 71 have a recovery ratio from 10% compressive deformation of 5% or above, more preferably 7% or above. - When the recovery ratio of the
resin particles 71 is less than 5%, theresin particles 71 in the deformed state cannot exhibit a sufficient elastic rebound. Thus, theseresin particles 71 cannot follow up the displacement of theinsulating binder resin 6, etc., which results in a problem that the conductive resistance is elevated. - The K value at 10% compressive deformation of the
resin particles 71 is determined from the relationship between the compressive displacement and the compressive load on theresin particles 71 at 10% compressive deformation among the relationships between the compressive displacement and the compressive load on theresin particles 71. - Namely, the K value can be expressed on following equation.
- K value=2.8 P/πd 2(kgf/mm 2)
- P: The load at 10% compressive deformation of the
resin particles 71 - d: The mean diameter of the
resin particle 71 - The recovery ratio from 10% compressive deformation of the
resin particles 71 is defined as the ratio (percentage) of the displacement (L1) of theresin particles 71 caused by compressing theresin particles 71 from the original load (0.1 gf) to the reverse load (1.0 gf) and the displacement(L2) thereof caused by relieving the load from the reverse load (1.0 gf) to the original load (0.1 gf). - Namely, the recovery ratio(R) can be expressed in following equation.
- R(recovery ratio)=(L 1 /L 2)×100(%)
- In the present invention, the
thin metal film 72 is formed on the surface of theresin particles 71 by, for example, electrolessly plating. In this step, nickel, gold, etc. can be used as the material for forming thethin metal film 72. - It is preferable that the
thin metal film 72 has a compressive elastic modulus of 1.5×104 kgf/mm2 or above, more preferably 2.0×104 kgf/mm2 or above on 10% compressive deformation. - When the compressive elastic modulus of the
thin metal film 72 is less than 1.5×104 kgf/mm2, there arises a problem thatprojections 72 a of thethin metal film 72 are deformed under pressure and thus cannot adequately break through theoxide film 8. - In the present embodiment of the invention, the
projections 72 a on the surface of thethin metal film 72 can be formed by, for example, changing the treatment temperature in the step of the electroless plating so as to change the reaction speed of nickel, etc. - The height of the
projections 72 a of thethin metal film 72 preferably ranges from 0.01 to 3 μm, more preferably from 0.1 to 1.1 μm. - When the height of the
projections 72 a of thethin metal film 72 is less than 0.01 μm, there arises a problem that theprojections 72 a of thethin metal film 72 cannot break through theoxide film 8 and thus fail to reach theelectrodes 3 of thecircuit board 2, thereby achieving only insufficient connection of theelectrodes projections 72 a can be formed only in a small number and thus the contact between theconductive particles 7 and theelectrodes 3 becomes insufficient. In this case, only insufficient connection of theelectrodes - It is preferable that 4 to 300, more preferably 4 to 200, on average,
projections 72 a are formed on the surface of thethin metal film 72. - When the number of the
projections 72 a of thethin metal film 72 is less than 4, theprojections 72 a break through theoxide film 8 and come in contact with theelectrodes 3 only in a small contact area. As a result, there arises a problem that adequate connection between theelectrodes more projections 72 a are provided, on the other hand, theprojections 72 a of thethin metal film 72 condense together, which makes the thickness of thethin metal film 72 irregular. - The content of the
conductive particles 7 having the above-described constitution preferably ranges from 1 to 15% by volume, more preferably from 2 to 15% by volume. - When the content of the
conductive particles 7 is less than 1% by volume, there arises a problem that the connection between theelectrodes conductive particles 7 condense together and thus the insulation resistance between theelectrodes - When the content of the
conductive particles 7 is from 5 to 15% by volume, on the other hand, it is favorable to form an insulation layer on the surface of thethin metal film 72 of theconductive particles 7. - The anisotropic conductive
adhesive film 1 according to the present invention is produced in the following manner. First,conductive particles 7 dispersed in a solvent are added to a solution in which a definite epoxy resin is dissolved and mixed to give a binder paste. - Next, this binder paste is applied onto a separate film such as a polyester film and dried. Then a cover film is laminated thereon to give the anisotropic conductive
adhesive film 1. - The
electrodes adhesive film 1 of the present invention by, for example, the following method. The anisotropic conductiveadhesive film 1 is adhered to the surface of the glass panel 4. And the glass panel 4 followed by registration and temporal tacking to thecircuit board 2. Next, heat compression bonding is carried out at definite temperature and pressure as shown in FIG. 1 (a). Thus, the insulatingbinder resin 6 is hardened while electrically connecting theelectrodes 5 of the glass panel 4 to theelectrodes 3 of thecircuit board 2. - In the present invention, the
projections 72 a of thethin metal film 72 break through theoxide film 8, due to the elastic rebound of theresin particles 71, and thus come into contact with theelectrodes 3 of thecircuit board 2 in the step of heat compression bonding, as FIG. 1 (c) shows. Thus, theelectrodes 3 of thecircuit board 2 are electrically connected to theelectrodes 5 of the glass panel 4 via thethin metal film 72 of theconductive particles 7. - As a result, a high connective reliability on the
electrodes 3 arranged with a fine pitch can be maintained even in the case where anoxide film 8 is formed on theelectrodes 3. - Furthermore, the
electrodes 3 of thecircuit board 2 can be connected surely to theelectrodes 5 of the glass panel 4 and thus a high connective reliability can be established by appropriately controlling the hardness of theresin particles 7, the compressive modules of thethin metal film 72, the number and height of theprojections 72 a formed on the surface of thethin metal film 72 and the content of the conductive particles. - When the
conductive particles 7 are used in an amount of from 5 to 15% by volume, thethin metal film 72 may be coated with an insulation layer. Thus, it becomes possible to prevent electrical short circuit among theconductive particles 7, even though the conductive particles condense together, thereby maintaining a high connective reliability. - Now, the anisotropic conductive adhesive film according to the present invention will be described in greater detail by reference to the following Examples and Comparative Examples.
- First, an insulating binder resin solution (solid content:50%) was prepared by dissolving 48% by weight of a solid bisphenol A-type epoxy resin (EP1009™ manufactured by Yuka-Shell), 50% by weight of an imidazole-based curing agent (HX3941HP™ manufactured by Asahi Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) and 2.0% by weight of a silane coupling agent (A187™ manufactured by Nippon Unicar Co., Ltd.) in toluene employed as a solvent.
