In addition, when the opening size of the through holes 12 is 200% or more of the average particle size of the electrically conductive particles 3 , it is concerned that a plurality of electrically conductive particles 3 pass through one through hole 12 , it is not possible to equally disperse and dispose the electrically conductive particles, and also it is concerned that the aggregation of particles is caused.
- the charging of the array plate 11 is prevented so that the passing of the charged electrically conductive particles 3 via the through holes 12 will not be impeded by attraction or repulsion.
- the array plate 11 is prevented from being charged as it is grounded as well as formed using an electrically conductive material such as nickel.
- the array plate 11 may be prevented from being charged as it is formed using a hardly charged material.
- the spray 13 is provided above the array plate 11 and sprays the electrically conductive particles 3 dispersed in a liquid such as water together with the liquid via the array plate 11 toward the binder resin 2 of the first base film 4 that is supported by the support plate 10 . At this time, the spray 13 applies an electrical charge to have a polarity opposite to the voltage applied to the support plate 10 to the electrically conductive particles 3 .
- the spray 13 can charge the electrically conductive particles 3 , for example, by conducting corona discharge at the nozzle tip.
- the electrically conductive particles 3 which are charged with an electrical charge are sprayed together with the liquid from the spray 13 while applying a voltage between the spray 13 and the support plate 10 to support the first base film 4 in a state in which the binder resin 2 is turned upward.
- the ejected electrically conductive particles 3 pass through the through holes 12 of the array plate 11 as well as are uniformly dispersed by the static electricity, and are attached onto the surface of the binder resin 2 on the first base film 4 supported by the support plate 10 to which the opposite polarity is applied in a pattern corresponding to the array pattern of the through holes 12 ( FIG. 4(A) ). Incidentally, the moisture attached to the electrically conductive particles 3 is thrown off from the surface of the electrically conductive particles 3 during a fall.
- the electrically conductive particles 3 are attached onto the surface of the binder resin 2 by being attracted to the support plate 10 to which the opposite polarity is applied, and thus the electrically conductive particles 3 are required to be charged with an electrical charge at least until being attached onto the surface of the binder resin 2 .
- the insulating film 3 a to be charged with an electrical charge is formed so as to have a film thickness of 0.1% or more of the particle size of the electrically conductive particles 3 , the electrically conductive particles 3 do not lose the electrostatic property before being attached to the binder resin 2 and are securely and equally dispersed and disposed in accordance with the pattern of the through holes 12 of the array plate 11 .
- the conduction resistance between the connecting terminals increases when the insulating film 3 a of the electrically conductive particles 3 is too thick.
- the respective electrically conductive particles 3 are charged with an electrical charge having the same polarity and thus repel one another. This makes it possible to prevent a plurality of electrically conductive particles 3 from passing through one through hole 12 , and the electrically conductive particles 3 are arranged on the surface of the binder resin 2 in a single layer in accordance with the pattern of the through holes 12 .
- the second base film 5 is laminated on the binder resin 2 on which the electrically conductive particles 3 are arranged ( FIG. 4(B) ).
- the second base film 5 pushes the electrically conductive particles 3 into the binder resin 2 so as to achieve the positioning of the electrically conductive particles 3 .
- the electrically conductive particles 3 are held in the binder resin 2 that is coated on the first and second base films 4 and 5 as the release treated surface of the second base film 5 is bonded to the surface on which the electrically conductive particles 3 are transferred of the binder resin 2 .
- the anisotropic conductive film 1 is formed in which the binder resin 2 containing the electrically conductive particles 3 is supported by the first base films 4 and 5 of an upper and lower pair.
- the electrically conductive particles 3 are pushed into the binder resin 2 as the anisotropic conductive film 1 is appropriately pressed by a laminating roll 21 . Subsequently, the surface on which the electrically conductive particles 3 are pushed of the binder resin 2 is cured by being irradiated with ultraviolet rays from the first base film 4 side, and the like, and thus the anisotropic conductive film 1 is fixed in the pattern arranged with the electrically conductive particles 3 .
- the anisotropic conductive film 1 can be suitably used in a connector in which an IC or a flexible substrate is COG, FOB, or FOF connected and any devices such as television, or PC, mobile phones, game machines, audio devices, and tablet terminators, or vehicle-mounted monitors.
- a rigid substrate 22 that is connected to an IC or a flexible substrate via the anisotropic conductive film 1 is formed of a plurality of connecting terminals 23 arranged in parallel. These connecting terminals 23 are microminiaturized to meet the requirement of high density mounting and the interval between the connecting terminals is narrowed.
- the anisotropic conductive film 1 is cut such that the size in the width direction corresponds to the size of the connecting terminal 23 , the first base film 4 is then peeled off therefrom, and the anisotropic conductive film 1 thus cut is pasted on the plurality of connecting terminals 23 by taking the parallel direction of the connecting terminals 23 as the longitudinal direction.
- the connecting terminal of the IC or flexible substrate side is mounted on the connecting terminal 23 via the anisotropic conductive film 1 , and the resultant is heated and pressurized by a pressure tool (not illustrated) from the top of it.
- the binder resin 2 is softened, the electrically conductive particles 3 are pressed and deformed between the connecting terminals facing each other, and the anisotropic conductive film 1 is cured in a state in which the electrically conductive particles 3 are pressed and deformed by being heated or irradiated with ultraviolet rays.
- the anisotropic conductive film 1 electrically and mechanically connects an IC or a flexible substrate to a connecting target such as a glass substrate.
- the electrically conductive particles 3 are equally arranged in a lattice shape throughout the longitudinal direction. Hence, it is possible to improve the conduction properties as the anisotropic conductive film 1 is securely captured on the microminiaturized connecting terminals 23 , and also it is possible to prevent a short circuit between adjacent terminals as the electrically conductive particles 3 are not linked to one another in the narrowed intervals between connecting terminals.
- the electrically conductive particles 3 ejected from the spray 13 pass through the through holes 12 of the array plate 11 as well as are uniformly dispersed by the static electricity, and are attached onto the surface of the binder resin 2 on the first base film 4 in a pattern corresponding to the array pattern of the through holes 12 ( FIG. 4(A) ).
- aggregates in which a plurality of electrically conductive particles 3 are linked to one another is within 15%, preferably within 8%, more preferably 5% of the total number of electrically conductive particles.
- the size of the aggregate is set to be preferably 8 times or less and more preferably 5 times or less the average particle size of the electrically conductive particles at most.
- the size of the aggregate mentioned here also includes the maximum length of the aggregate in which the electrically conductive particles 3 are linked to one another.
- a fine abrasion which is believed to be generated by friction with the through holes 12 is generated on the electrically conductive particles 3 in some cases.
- This abrasion is generated at approximately from 3 to 20% of the surface area of the electrically conductive particles 3 .
- the conduction performance is not affected when the abraded electrically conductive particles 3 are within 30% of the total number of the electrically conductive particles, but it is preferable that the abraded electrically conductive particles 3 are within 15% of the total number of the electrically conductive particles.
- the support plate to support the first base film may be formed in a roll shape as illustrated in FIG. 6 in addition to a plate shape.
- the roll-shaped support plate 30 conveys the first base film 4 by being rotated.
- the array plate 11 is disposed on the upper part of the first base film 4 supported by the roll-shaped support plate 30 .
- a voltage is applied between the roll-shaped support plate 30 and the spray 13 facing the array plate 11 such that the roll-shaped support plate 30 is charged in a polarity opposite to the electrical charge of the electrically conductive particles that are ejected from the spray 13 .
- the electrically conductive particles 3 ejected from the spray 13 pass through the through holes 12 of the array plate 11 and are attached onto the surface of the binder resin 2 provided on the base film 4 in a predetermined pattern when the first base film 4 moves on the upper part of the roll-shaped support plate 30 .
- This makes it possible to continuously arrange the electrically conductive particles 3 on the binder resin 2 of the first base film 4 that is conveyed by the roll-shaped support plate 30 , and thus it is possible to improve the manufacturing efficiency.
- the first base film 4 in which the electrically conductive particles 3 are arranged on the surface of the binder is continuously subjected to the roll lamination of the second base film 5 and the light curing of the adhesive layer on the downstream side in the conveying direction in the same manner, and thus it is possible to continuously form the anisotropic conductive film 1 by a series of steps.

- This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority of the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2013-157099 filed in the Japan Patent Office on Jul. 29, 2013, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- Hitherto, an anisotropic conductive film obtained by molding a binder resin in which electrically conductive particles are dispersed into a film is used as an adhesive when connecting a rigid substrate such as a glass substrate or a glass epoxy substrate to a flexible substrate or an IC chip or when connecting flexible substrates to each other. When the case of connecting the connecting terminal of a flexible substrate to the connecting terminal of a rigid substrate is described as an example, as illustrated in
FIG. 7(A) , an anisotropicconductive film 53 is disposed between the regions in which both connectingterminals flexible substrate 51 and arigid substrate 54 are formed, abuffer material 50 is appropriately disposed on theflexible substrate 51, and thesubstrates flexible substrate 51 by a heating and pressinghead 56. By virtue of this, as illustrated inFIG. 7(B) , the binder resin becomes fluid to flow out from between the connectingterminal 52 of theflexible substrate 51 and the connectingterminal 55 of therigid substrate 54 and also the electrically conductive particles in the anisotropicconductive film 53 are pressed and deformed by being sandwiched between the two connecting terminals. - As a result, the connecting
terminal 52 of theflexible substrate 51 and the connectingterminal 55 of therigid substrate 54 are electrically connected to each other via the electrically conductive particles, and the binder resin is cured in this state. The electrically conductive particles that are not present between the two connectingterminals terminal 52 of theflexible substrate 51 and theconnecting terminal 55 of therigid substrate 54. - Patent Literature 1: JP 04-251337 A

- In recent years, high density mounting of electronic components has advanced in association with the miniaturization and thinning mainly of small-sized portable electronic devices such as a mobile phone or a smart phone, a tablet PC, and a notebook computer, and the microminiaturization of the connecting terminals and the narrowing of the interval between the adjacent connecting terminals have advanced in a so-called FOB (Film on Board) connection to connect a flexible substrate to a main substrate or a so-called FOF (Film on Film) connection to connect flexible substrates to each other. In addition, the microminiaturization of the connecting terminals due to an increase in terminals associated with high definition of the screen and miniaturization of the control IC and the narrowing of the interval between the adjacent connecting terminals have advanced in a so-called COG (Chip on Glass) connection to connect the control IC of a liquid crystal screen to the ITO wiring of a glass substrate.
- As such microminiaturization of the connecting terminals associated with the requirement of high density mounting and the narrowing of the interval between connecting terminals advance, it is concerned that the electrically conductive particles are linked to one another between the micro terminals to cause a short circuit between the terminals since the electrically conductive particles are randomly dispersed in the binder resin in the anisotropic conductive film of prior art.
- In order to cope with such a problem, a decrease in particle size of the electrically conductive particles and a method to form an insulating film on the particle surface have been proposed, but it is concerned that the particle capture rate on the microminiaturized connecting terminal decreases when the particle size of the electrically conductive particles decreases, and it is not possible to completely prevent the short circuit between the terminals in the case of forming the insulating film. Furthermore, as illustrated in
FIG. 8(A) , a method to separate the electricallyconductive particles 57 from one another through biaxial stretching has also been proposed, but not all of the electrically conductive particles are separated, as illustrated inFIG. 8(B) , the aggregate ofparticles 58 in which a plurality of electricallyconductive particles 57 are linked to one another remains, and thus it is not possible to completely prevent a short circuit between the terminals generated between theadjacent terminals - Accordingly, an object of the invention is to provide a method for manufacturing an electrically conductive adhesive film which can capture electrically conductive particles in a microminiaturized connecting terminal as well as prevent a short circuit between terminals even though microminiaturization of the connecting terminal and the narrowing of the interval between connecting terminals advance and thus can meet the requirement of high density mounting, an electrically conductive adhesive film, and a method for manufacturing a connector.
- In order to solve the above problem, a method for manufacturing an electrically conductive adhesive film according to the invention is a method which includes steps of providing an electrically conductive support plate to support a first base film having an adhesive layer formed on a surface, providing an array plate that is disposed to face the adhesive layer of the first base film supported by the support plate and has a plurality of through holes arranged in a pattern corresponding to an array pattern of electrically conductive particles formed thereon, providing a spray that is disposed on a side opposite to a side facing the support plate of the array plate and sprays electrically conductive particles together with a liquid while applying a voltage to the electrically conductive particles, spraying the electrically conductive particles charged with an electrical charge together with a liquid from the spray while applying a voltage between the spray and the support plate supporting a surface on the opposite side to a surface on which the adhesive layer is formed of the first base film, and arranging the electrically conductive particles which passed through the through holes of the array plate on the adhesive layer in an array pattern of the through holes.
- In addition, an electrically conductive adhesive film according to the invention is one that is manufactured by the manufacturing method described above.
- In addition, a method for manufacturing a connector according to the invention is a method for manufacturing a connector obtained by connecting a plurality of terminals arranged in parallel to one another by an anisotropic conductive film having electrically conductive particles arranged therein, in which the anisotropic conductive film is manufactured by steps of: providing an electrically conductive support plate to support a base film having an adhesive layer formed on a surface; providing an array plate that is disposed to face the adhesive layer of the base film supported by the support plate and has a plurality of through holes arranged in a pattern corresponding to an array pattern of electrically conductive particles formed thereon; providing a spray that is disposed above the array plate and sprays electrically conductive particles together with a liquid while applying a voltage to the electrically conductive particles; spraying the electrically conductive particles charged with an electrical charge together with a liquid from the spray while applying a voltage between the spray and the support plate to support the base film in a state in which the adhesive layer is turned upward; and arranging the electrically conductive particles which passed through the through holes of the array plate on the adhesive layer in an array pattern of the through holes.
- According to the invention, it is possible to equally disperse and dispose the electrically conductive particles on the adhesive layer since the electrically conductive particles are arranged in a desired pattern in advance, and this makes it possible to provide an electrically conductive adhesive film which can capture the electrically conductive particles in the microminiaturized connecting terminal as well as prevent a short circuit between terminals even though microminiaturization of the connecting terminal and the narrowing of the interval between connecting terminals advance and thus can meet the requirement of high density mounting.

conductive film 1 for achieving conduction between connecting terminals as electrically conductive particles are equally dispersed and disposed on a binder resin to be an adhesive in a predetermined pattern and the electrically conductive particles are sandwiched between the connecting terminals facing each other. In addition, as the connector using an electrically conductive adhesive film to which the invention is applied is, for example, a connector in which an IC or a flexible substrate is COG, FOB, or FOF connected using the anisotropicconductive film 1 and another connector, and the connector can be suitably used in any devices such as television, or PC, mobile phones, game machines, audio devices, and tablet terminators, or vehicle-mounted monitors. - The anisotropic

Examples of the film forming resin may include various kinds of resins such as an epoxy resin, a modified epoxy resin, a urethane resin, and a phenoxy resin.

These may be a single substance or a combination of two or more kinds thereof.

- The latent curing agent is not particularly limited, and examples thereof may include various kinds of curing agents of a heat curing type, a UV curing type, and the like. The latent curing agent does not react under a normal condition, but it is activated by various kinds of triggers which are selected depending on the application, such as heat, light, and pressurization and starts to react. As the method for activating a thermally activated latent curing agent, there are a method in which active species (a cation or an anion, and a radical) are produced through the dissociation reaction caused by heating, and the like, a method in which the latent curing agent is stably dispersed in an epoxy resin at around room temperature, but at a higher temperature, it is compatible with and dissolves in the epoxy resin to start the curing reaction, a method in which a molecular sieve encapsulation type curing agent is eluted at a high temperature to start the curing reaction, a method of elution and curing by a microcapsule, and the like. Examples of the thermally activated latent curing agent may include imidazole-based one, hydrazide-based one, a boron trifluoride-amine complex, a sulfonium salt, an amine imide, a polyamine salt, dicyandiamide, and any modified product thereof, and these may be a single substance or a mixture of two or more kinds thereof. Among them, the microcapsule type imidazole-based latent curing agent is preferable.
- The silane coupling agent is not particularly limited, and examples thereof may include epoxy-based one, amino-based one, mercapto and sulfide-based one, and ureido-based one. The adhesive property at the interface between an organic material and an inorganic material is improved by adding a silane coupling agent.
- [Electrically Conductive Particles]
- Examples of the electrically
conductive particles 3 may include particles of various kinds of metals such as nickel, iron, copper, aluminum, tin, lead, chromium, cobalt, silver, and gold, or particles of a metal alloy, a metal oxide, those obtained by coating a metal on the surface of particles of carbon, graphite, glass, a ceramic, a plastic, or the like. In the case of those obtained by coating a metal on the surface of resin particles, examples of the resin particles may include particles of an epoxy resin, a phenolic resin, an acrylic resin, an acrylonitrile-styrene (AS) resin, a benzoguanamine resin, a divinylbenzene-based resin, and a styrene-based resin. - As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , an insulatingfilm 3 a is formed as the surface of the electricallyconductive particles 3 is covered with an insulating material. This makes it possible for the electricallyconductive particles 3 to charge the insulatingfilm 3 a with an electrical charge. - Examples of the insulating material constituting the insulating
film 3 a may include various polymers such as an acrylic polymer, a urethane-based polymer, an epoxy-based polymer, an imide-based polymer, and an amide-based polymer. In addition, examples of the method for forming the insulating film may include a “hybridization treatment”. The hybridization treatment is to composite fine particles with fine particles and is one in which the fixation and film forming treatment of particles are conducted by applying mechanical heat energy mainly composed of an impact force to the particles while dispersing the mother particles and the child particles in the gas phase. - [Film Thickness of Insulating Film]
- In addition, it is preferable that the insulating
film 3 a is formed to have a film thickness of from 0.1 to 50% of the particle size of the electricallyconductive particles 3. As to be described later, the electricallyconductive particles 3 are required to be arranged on thebinder resin 2 in a state of being charged, and thus it is concerned that the electrostatic property of the insulatingfilm 3 a is lost before the electricallyconductive particles 3 are attached to thebinder resin 2 when the thickness of the insulatingfilm 3 a that is charged with an electrical charge is thin and it is not possible to arrange the electricallyconductive particles 3 in a predetermined pattern. On the other hand, the conduction resistance between the connecting terminals increases when the insulatingfilm 3 a of the electricallyconductive particles 3 is too thick. Hence, it is preferable to form the insulatingfilm 3 ain a thickness of from 0.1 to 50% of the particle size of the electricallyconductive particles 3. - Specifically, the film thickness of the insulating
film 3 a can be decided based on the dielectric constant of the material constituting the insulatingfilm 3 a. For example, in the case of using (material name: polymethyl methacrylate, dielectric constant: 3) as the insulatingfilm 3 a that is formed on the surface of the electricallyconductive particles 3 having an average particle size of 4 μm, the film thickness can be set to approximately from 0.004 to 2.0 μm. - In the anisotropic
conductive film 1, as to be described later, the electricallyconductive particles 3 are regularly arranged in a predetermined array pattern and thus the occurrence of coarseness and fineness due to aggregation of the electrically conductive particles is prevented. Hence, according to the anisotropicconductive film 1, it is possible to prevent a short circuit between terminals by aggregates of the electrically conductive particles even though the narrowing of the interval between connecting terminals advances, it is also possible to capture the electrically conductive particles even in a microminiaturized connecting terminal and thus to meet the requirement of high density mounting. - Incidentally, the shape of the anisotropic
conductive film 1 is not particularly limited, and for example, it may have a long tape shape capable of being wound around a take-upreel 6 as illustrated inFIG. 1 so that it may be cut by a predetermined length for use. - In addition, in the embodiment described above, the anisotropic
conductive film 1 has been described by taking an adhesive film obtained by molding a thermosetting resin composition containing the electricallyconductive particles 3 in thebinder resin 2 in a film shape as an example, but the adhesive according to the invention is not limited thereto, and for example, it may have a configuration in which an insulating adhesive layer composed of only thebinder resin 2 and an electrically conductive particle-containing layer composed of thebinder resin 2 containing the electricallyconductive particles 3 are laminated. - [Method for Manufacturing Anisotropic Conductive Film]
- Next, the method for manufacturing the anisotropic
conductive film 1 will be described. The manufacturing process of the anisotropicconductive film 1 includes a step of arranging the electricallyconductive particles 3 on thebinder resin 2 formed on one surface of thefirst base film 4 in a predetermined pattern. The electricallyconductive particles 3 arranged on thebinder resin 2 are pushed into thebinder resin 2 as thesecond base film 5 is laminated on the surface on which the electricallyconductive particles 3 are arranged of thebinder resin 2. - In the step of arranging the electrically conductive particles, as illustrated in
FIG. 3 , an electricallyconductive support plate 10 to support thefirst base film 4 of which one surface is provided with thebinder resin 2, anarray plate 11 which is disposed to face thebinder resin 2 of thefirst base film 4 supported by thesupport plate 10 and on which a plurality of throughholes 12 arranged in a pattern corresponding to the array pattern of the electricallyconductive particles 3 are formed, and aspray 13 which is disposed above thearray plate 11 and sprays the charged electricallyconductive particles 3 together with a liquid while applying a voltage to the electricallyconductive particles 3 are used. - The
support plate 10 is one that allows the charged electricallyconductive particles 3 to adsorb to thebinder resin 2 that is provided to thefirst base film 4 as a voltage is applied between thesupport plate 10 and thespray 13, and thesupport plate 10 is formed of a nickel plate, for example. The material of thesupport plate 10 is not limited as long as it exhibits conductivity. - The
array plate 11 is one that arranges the electricallyconductive particles 3 which have passed through the throughholes 12 on the surface of thebinder resin 2 in the array pattern of the throughholes 12 as thearray plate 11 is disposed close onto thebinder resin 2. On thearray plate 11, a plurality of throughholes 12 are formed in accordance with a predetermined array pattern of the electricallyconductive particles 3. For example, thearray plate 11 has a plurality of through holes formed in a lattice shape at equal intervals. By virtue of this, the electrically conductive particles that have passed through the throughholes 12 are equally disposed on the surface of thebinder resin 2 in a lattice pattern. Incidentally, the throughholes 12 can be formed using a known processing technology such as laser processing. - The opening size of the through
holes 12 is 100% or more of the average particle size of the electricallyconductive particles 3 and preferably from 120 to 200% of the average particle size of the electricallyconductive particles 3. It is difficult for the electricallyconductive particles 3 to pass through the throughholes 12 when the opening size of the throughholes 12 is less than 100% of the average particle size of the electricallyconductive particles 3. In addition, when the opening size of the throughholes 12 is 200% or more of the average particle size of the electricallyconductive particles 3, it is concerned that a plurality of electricallyconductive particles 3 pass through one throughhole 12, it is not possible to equally disperse and dispose the electrically conductive particles, and also it is concerned that the aggregation of particles is caused. - The charging of the
array plate 11 is prevented so that the passing of the charged electricallyconductive particles 3 via the throughholes 12 will not be impeded by attraction or repulsion. For example, thearray plate 11 is prevented from being charged as it is grounded as well as formed using an electrically conductive material such as nickel. Alternatively, thearray plate 11 may be prevented from being charged as it is formed using a hardly charged material. - The
spray 13 is provided above thearray plate 11 and sprays the electricallyconductive particles 3 dispersed in a liquid such as water together with the liquid via thearray plate 11 toward thebinder resin 2 of thefirst base film 4 that is supported by thesupport plate 10. At this time, thespray 13 applies an electrical charge to have a polarity opposite to the voltage applied to thesupport plate 10 to the electricallyconductive particles 3. Thespray 13 can charge the electricallyconductive particles 3, for example, by conducting corona discharge at the nozzle tip. - In order to arrange the electrically
conductive particles 3 on thebinder resin 2 formed on one surface of thefirst base film 4 in a predetermined pattern using thesesupport plate 10,array plate 11, andspray 13, the electricallyconductive particles 3 which are charged with an electrical charge are sprayed together with the liquid from thespray 13 while applying a voltage between thespray 13 and thesupport plate 10 to support thefirst base film 4 in a state in which thebinder resin 2 is turned upward. - The ejected electrically
conductive particles 3 pass through the throughholes 12 of thearray plate 11 as well as are uniformly dispersed by the static electricity, and are attached onto the surface of thebinder resin 2 on thefirst base film 4 supported by thesupport plate 10 to which the opposite polarity is applied in a pattern corresponding to the array pattern of the through holes 12 (FIG. 4(A) ). Incidentally, the moisture attached to the electricallyconductive particles 3 is thrown off from the surface of the electricallyconductive particles 3 during a fall. - [Film Thickness of Insulating
Film 3 a] - Here, the electrically
conductive particles 3 are attached onto the surface of thebinder resin 2 by being attracted to thesupport plate 10 to which the opposite polarity is applied, and thus the electricallyconductive particles 3 are required to be charged with an electrical charge at least until being attached onto the surface of thebinder resin 2. Hence, as described above, as the insulatingfilm 3 a to be charged with an electrical charge is formed so as to have a film thickness of 0.1% or more of the particle size of the electricallyconductive particles 3, the electricallyconductive particles 3 do not lose the electrostatic property before being attached to thebinder resin 2 and are securely and equally dispersed and disposed in accordance with the pattern of the throughholes 12 of thearray plate 11. On the other hand, the conduction resistance between the connecting terminals increases when the insulatingfilm 3 a of the electricallyconductive particles 3 is too thick. Hence, it is preferable to form the insulatingfilm 3 a in a thickness of from 0.1 to 50% of the particle size of the electricallyconductive particles 3. - In addition, the respective electrically
conductive particles 3 are charged with an electrical charge having the same polarity and thus repel one another. This makes it possible to prevent a plurality of electricallyconductive particles 3 from passing through one throughhole 12, and the electricallyconductive particles 3 are arranged on the surface of thebinder resin 2 in a single layer in accordance with the pattern of the through holes 12. - After the electrically
conductive particles 3 are arranged in a predetermined pattern corresponding to the pattern of the throughholes 12, thesecond base film 5 is laminated on thebinder resin 2 on which the electricallyconductive particles 3 are arranged (FIG. 4(B) ). - The
second base film 5 pushes the electricallyconductive particles 3 into thebinder resin 2 so as to achieve the positioning of the electricallyconductive particles 3. The electricallyconductive particles 3 are held in thebinder resin 2 that is coated on the first andsecond base films second base film 5 is bonded to the surface on which the electricallyconductive particles 3 are transferred of thebinder resin 2. By virtue of this, the anisotropicconductive film 1 is formed in which thebinder resin 2 containing the electricallyconductive particles 3 is supported by thefirst base films - As illustrated in
FIG. 4(C) , the electricallyconductive particles 3 are pushed into thebinder resin 2 as the anisotropicconductive film 1 is appropriately pressed by alaminating roll 21. Subsequently, the surface on which the electricallyconductive particles 3 are pushed of thebinder resin 2 is cured by being irradiated with ultraviolet rays from thefirst base film 4 side, and the like, and thus the anisotropicconductive film 1 is fixed in the pattern arranged with the electricallyconductive particles 3. - [Manufacturing Process of Connector]
- The anisotropic
conductive film 1 can be suitably used in a connector in which an IC or a flexible substrate is COG, FOB, or FOF connected and any devices such as television, or PC, mobile phones, game machines, audio devices, and tablet terminators, or vehicle-mounted monitors. - As illustrated in
FIG. 5 , arigid substrate 22 that is connected to an IC or a flexible substrate via the anisotropicconductive film 1 is formed of a plurality of connectingterminals 23 arranged in parallel. These connectingterminals 23 are microminiaturized to meet the requirement of high density mounting and the interval between the connecting terminals is narrowed. - At the time of actual use, the anisotropic
conductive film 1 is cut such that the size in the width direction corresponds to the size of the connectingterminal 23, thefirst base film 4 is then peeled off therefrom, and the anisotropicconductive film 1 thus cut is pasted on the plurality of connectingterminals 23 by taking the parallel direction of the connectingterminals 23 as the longitudinal direction. Subsequently, the connecting terminal of the IC or flexible substrate side is mounted on the connectingterminal 23 via the anisotropicconductive film 1, and the resultant is heated and pressurized by a pressure tool (not illustrated) from the top of it. - By virtue of this, the
binder resin 2 is softened, the electricallyconductive particles 3 are pressed and deformed between the connecting terminals facing each other, and the anisotropicconductive film 1 is cured in a state in which the electricallyconductive particles 3 are pressed and deformed by being heated or irradiated with ultraviolet rays. By virtue of this, the anisotropicconductive film 1 electrically and mechanically connects an IC or a flexible substrate to a connecting target such as a glass substrate. - Here, in the anisotropic
conductive film 1, the electricallyconductive particles 3 are equally arranged in a lattice shape throughout the longitudinal direction. Hence, it is possible to improve the conduction properties as the anisotropicconductive film 1 is securely captured on themicrominiaturized connecting terminals 23, and also it is possible to prevent a short circuit between adjacent terminals as the electricallyconductive particles 3 are not linked to one another in the narrowed intervals between connecting terminals. - [Content of Aggregate]
- Incidentally, as described above, according to the invention, the electrically
conductive particles 3 ejected from thespray 13 pass through the throughholes 12 of thearray plate 11 as well as are uniformly dispersed by the static electricity, and are attached onto the surface of thebinder resin 2 on thefirst base film 4 in a pattern corresponding to the array pattern of the through holes 12 (FIG. 4(A) ). - At this time, aggregates in which a plurality of electrically
conductive particles 3 are linked to one another is within 15%, preferably within 8%, more preferably 5% of the total number of electrically conductive particles. The size of the aggregate is set to be preferably 8 times or less and more preferably 5 times or less the average particle size of the electrically conductive particles at most. The size of the aggregate mentioned here also includes the maximum length of the aggregate in which the electricallyconductive particles 3 are linked to one another. - [Abrasion by Through Hole]
- In addition, a fine abrasion which is believed to be generated by friction with the through
holes 12 is generated on the electricallyconductive particles 3 in some cases. This abrasion is generated at approximately from 3 to 20% of the surface area of the electricallyconductive particles 3. In addition, there are the abraded electricallyconductive particles 3 at 0.5% or more of the total number of the electrically conductive particles, and the flow of the electricallyconductive particles 3 is suppressed by this at the time of transfer to thebinder resin 2 or at the time of thermal pressurization of the anisotropicconductive film 1. In addition, the conduction performance is not affected when the abraded electricallyconductive particles 3 are within 30% of the total number of the electrically conductive particles, but it is preferable that the abraded electricallyconductive particles 3 are within 15% of the total number of the electrically conductive particles. - Incidentally, the support plate to support the first base film may be formed in a roll shape as illustrated in
FIG. 6 in addition to a plate shape. The roll-shapedsupport plate 30 conveys thefirst base film 4 by being rotated. In addition, thearray plate 11 is disposed on the upper part of thefirst base film 4 supported by the roll-shapedsupport plate 30. Furthermore, a voltage is applied between the roll-shapedsupport plate 30 and thespray 13 facing thearray plate 11 such that the roll-shapedsupport plate 30 is charged in a polarity opposite to the electrical charge of the electrically conductive particles that are ejected from thespray 13. - Thereafter, the electrically
conductive particles 3 ejected from thespray 13 pass through the throughholes 12 of thearray plate 11 and are attached onto the surface of thebinder resin 2 provided on thebase film 4 in a predetermined pattern when thefirst base film 4 moves on the upper part of the roll-shapedsupport plate 30. This makes it possible to continuously arrange the electricallyconductive particles 3 on thebinder resin 2 of thefirst base film 4 that is conveyed by the roll-shapedsupport plate 30, and thus it is possible to improve the manufacturing efficiency. - Furthermore, the
first base film 4 in which the electricallyconductive particles 3 are arranged on the surface of the binder is continuously subjected to the roll lamination of thesecond base film 5 and the light curing of the adhesive layer on the downstream side in the conveying direction in the same manner, and thus it is possible to continuously form the anisotropicconductive film 1 by a series of steps. - Subsequently, Examples of the invention will be described. In the present Examples, a plurality of the anisotropic conductive films which were manufactured by different manufacturing methods and had different configurations of the electrically conductive particles were prepared, and connector samples were manufactured in which an IC was connected onto a glass substrate using each of the anisotropic conductive films. Thereafter, the conduction resistance (Ω) and the proportion (ppm) of short circuit between terminals were determined for each of the connector samples.
- In the anisotropic conductive films according to Examples and Comparative Examples, a resin composition prepared by blending:
- 60 parts by mass of a phenoxy resin (YP-50, manufactured by NIPPON STEEL & SUMIKIN CHEMICAL CO., LTD.); and
- 40 parts by mass of an epoxy resin (jER828, manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation); and
- 2 parts by mass of a cationic curing agent (SI-60L, manufactured by SANSHIN CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CO., LTD.)
- was used as a binder resin.
- As the anisotropic conductive films according to Examples and Comparative Examples, a mixed solution was prepared by adjusting the solid content of these resin compositions to be 50% with toluene, the mixed solution was coated on a PET film having a thickness of 50 μm, and the coated PET film was dried in an oven at 80° C. for 5 minutes, thereby obtaining an anisotropic conductive film containing a binder resin having a thickness of 20 μm.
- In addition, in the anisotropic conductive films according to Examples and Comparative Examples, AUL704: (resin core Au plating particles, average particle size: 4 μm, manufactured by SEKISUI CHEMICAL CO., LTD.) was used as the electrically conductive particles.
- A glass substrate (trade name: 1737F, manufactured by Corning Incorporated, size: 50 mm×30 mm, thickness: 0.5 mm) on which an aluminum wiring pattern corresponding to the pattern of the IC chip was formed was used as the glass substrate.
- The connector sample to be used for the measurement of conduction resistance (Ω) was manufactured as follows. The anisotropic conductive films according to Examples and Comparative Examples were disposed on this glass substrate, the IC chip (dimensions: 1.8 mm×20.0 mm, thickness: 0.5 mm, gold bump size: 30 μm×85 μm, bump height: 15 μm, pitch: 50 μm) was disposed on the anisotropic conductive film, and the resultant was heated and pressurized, thereby connecting the IC chip and the aluminum wiring patterned glass substrate to each other. The condition for pressure joining was 180° C., 80 MPa, and 5 seconds.
- In addition, the connector sample to be used for the measurement of proportion (ppm) of short circuit between terminals was manufactured as follows. The anisotropic conductive films according to Examples and Comparative Examples were disposed on this glass substrate, the IC chip (size: 1.5 mm×13.0 mm, thickness: 0.5 mm, gold bump size: 25 μm×140 μm, bump height: 15 μm, pitch: 7.5 μm) was disposed on the anisotropic conductive film, and the resultant was heated and pressurized, thereby connecting the IC chip and the aluminum wiring patterned glass substrate to each other. The condition for pressure joining was 180° C., 80 MPa, and 5 seconds.
- In the manufacturing process of the anisotropic conductive film according to Example 1, the electrically conductive particles were arranged on the binder resin formed on one surface of a PET film in a predetermined pattern and then pushed into the binder resin by laminating a release-treated PET film on the surface on which the electrically conductive particles were arranged of the binder resin, thereby manufacturing the anisotropic conductive film.
- For the arrangement of the electrically conductive particles, an electrically conductive support plate to support a PET film provided with a binder resin, an array plate which was disposed to face the binder resin of the PET film supported by the support plate and on which a plurality of through holes arranged in a pattern corresponding to the array pattern of the electrically conductive particles were formed, and a spray which was disposed above the array plate and sprayed the charged electrically conductive particles together with a liquid while applying a voltage to the electrically conductive particles were used (see
FIG. 3 ). - Thereafter, the electrically conductive particles which were charged with an electrical charge were sprayed together with water from the spray while applying a voltage between the spray and the support plate. The ejected electrically conductive particles passed through the through holes of the array plate as well as were uniformly dispersed by the static electricity, and were attached onto the surface of the binder resin on the PET film supported by the support plate to which the opposite polarity was applied in a pattern corresponding to the array pattern of the through holes.
- Thereafter, the electrically
conductive particles 3 were pushed into the binder resin by laminating a release-treated PET film on the surface of the binder resin using a laminating roll, thereby obtaining the anisotropic conductive film. - This anisotropic conductive film was pasted on a plurality of connecting terminals by taking the parallel direction of the connecting terminals of an aluminum wiring pattern formed on a glass substrate as the longitudinal direction.
- Here, in Example 1, the insulating film (polymethyl methacrylate) was formed on the surface of the electrically conductive particles in a thickness of 0.1% of the average particle size (4 μm) of the electrically conductive particles.
- In Example 2, the conditions were the same as those in Example 1 except that the thickness of the insulating film formed on the surface of the electrically conductive particles was 10% of the average particle size (4 μm) of the electrically conductive particles.
- In Example 3, the conditions were the same as those in Example 1 except that the thickness of the insulating film formed on the surface of the electrically conductive particles was 50% of the average particle size (4 μm) of the electrically conductive particles.
- In Comparative Example 1, an anisotropic conductive film was obtained by a manufacturing method of prior art. In other words, an anisotropic conductive film molded in a film shape was obtained by coating a resin composition prepared by dispersing electrically conductive particles (AUL704) in the binder resin described above on a PET film and drying it. In the anisotropic conductive film according to Comparative Example 1, the electrically conductive particles are randomly disposed in the binder resin.
- Incidentally, in Comparative Example 1, the thickness of the insulating film formed on the surface of the electrically conductive particles was 10% of the average particle size (4 μm) of the electrically conductive particles.
- This anisotropic conductive film was pasted on a plurality of connecting terminals by taking the parallel direction of the connecting terminals of an aluminum wiring pattern formed on a glass substrate as the longitudinal direction.
- In Comparative Example 2, a pressure sensitive adhesive layer was formed by coating an acrylic polymer on a 100 μm of unstretched copolymerized polypropylene film and drying it. The electrically conductive particles (AUL704) were filled all over this pressure sensitive adhesive material layer, and the electrically conductive particles that did not reach the pressure sensitive adhesive were removed by air blowing, thereby forming a single-layer electrically conductive particle layer having a filling rate of 60%.
- Next, this polypropylene film on which the electrically conductive particles were fixed was stretched to 2.0 times at 135° C. and at a ratio of 10%/sec in both vertical and horizontal directions using a biaxial stretching apparatus for test and was gradually cooled up to room temperature, thereby obtaining an array sheet.
- Next, a PET film coated with a binder resin (transfer film) was superimposed on the electrically conductive particle side of this array sheet and laminated under the condition of 60° C. and 0.3 MPa to embed the electrically conductive particles into the binder resin, and the polypropylene film and the pressure sensitive adhesive were peeled off therefrom. Thereafter, a second PET film was bonded on the PET film in the same manner as in Example 1, thereby obtaining an anisotropic conductive film.
- This anisotropic conductive film was pasted on a plurality of connecting terminals by taking the parallel direction of the connecting terminals of an aluminum wiring pattern formed on a glass substrate as the longitudinal direction.
- Incidentally, in Comparative Example 2, the thickness of the insulating film formed on the surface of the electrically conductive particles was 10% of the average particle size (4 μm) of the electrically conductive particles.
- In Comparative Example 3, the conditions were the same as those in Example 1 except that the thickness of the insulating film formed on the surface of the electrically conductive particles was 0.05% of the average particle size (4 μm) of the electrically conductive particles.
- In Comparative Example 4, the conditions were the same as those in Example 1 except that the thickness of the insulating film formed on the surface of the electrically conductive particles was 80% of the average particle size (4 μm) of the electrically conductive particles.
- Connector samples were manufactured in which an IC was connected onto a glass substrate using these anisotropic conductive films according to the respective Examples and Comparative Examples. Thereafter, the conduction resistance (Ω) and the proportion (ppm) of short circuit between terminals were determined for each of the respective connector samples. The results are presented in Table 1.
-
TABLE 1 Comparative Comparative Comparative Comparative Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Arrangement of Equal Equal Equal Random Equal Equal Equal electrically conductive disposition disposition disposition disposition disposition disposition disposition particles Thickness of insulating 0.10 10 50 10 10 0.05 80 film with respect to size of electrically conductive particles (%) Conduction 0.2 0.2 0.5 0.2 0.2 0.2 2.0 resistance (Ω) Proportion of short 1 or less 1 or less 1 or less 3000 300 130 1 or less circuit between terminals (ppm) - As presented in Table 1, in all of Examples 1 to 3, the conduction resistance between the IC chip and the connecting terminal formed on the glass substrate was as low as 0.5Ω or less and the proportion of short circuit between the terminals was also 1 ppm or less.
- On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, although the conduction resistance was as low as 0.2Ω, the proportion of short circuit between the terminals was as frequent as 3000 ppm. In the same manner, in Comparative Example 2, although the conduction resistance was as low as 0.2Ω, the proportion of short circuit between the terminals was as frequent as 3000 ppm, and in Comparative Example 3 as well, although the conduction resistance was as low as 0.2Ω, the proportion of short circuit between the terminals was as frequent as 130 ppm. In addition, in Comparative Example 4, although the proportion of short circuit between the terminals was as rare as 1 ppm or less, the conduction resistance was as high as 2.0Ω.
- This is because, in Examples 1 to 3, the anisotropic conductive films manufactured using the manufacturing process according to the invention were used, and thus the electrically conductive particles were equally dispersed and disposed in a pattern corresponding to the pattern of the through
holes 12 of thearray plate 11, a high particle capture rate was maintained even though the connecting terminal was microminiaturized and the interval between the connecting terminals was narrowed, and also it was possible to prevent a short circuit between terminals having a narrowed interval as the aggregation of particles was prevented. - On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, the electrically conductive particles were randomly dispersed in the binder resin, and thus the locations at which the electrically conductive particles were concentrated and the locations at which the electrically conductive particles were dispersed were generated in the binder resin, the electrically conductive particles were linked to one another between the adjacent terminals having a narrowed interval, and thus a short circuit between terminals occurred as frequently as 3000 ppm.
- In addition, in Comparative Example 2, not all of the electrically conductive particles were separated from one another by the method to separate the electrically conductive particles from one another by biaxial stretching, the aggregate of particles in which a plurality of electrically conductive particles were linked to one another remained, and the short circuit between the adjacent terminals having a narrowed interval occurred as frequently as 300 ppm, and thus it was not possible to completely prevent the short circuit.
- In addition, in Comparative Example 3, the film thickness of the insulating film formed on the surface of the electrically conductive particles was less than 0.1% of the average particle size of the electrically conductive particles, thus the electrically conductive particles lost the electrostatic property after being ejected from the spray but before being attached onto the surface of the binder resin, and because of this, the electrically conductive particles were randomly scattered, and also the electrically conductive particles were not equally dispersed and disposed as a plurality of electrically conductive particles passed through one through hole. For this reason, in Comparative Example 3 as well, the aggregation of particles in which a plurality of electrically conductive particles were linked to one another occurred, thus a short circuit between adjacent terminals having a narrowed interval occurred as frequently as 130 ppm and it was not possible to completely prevent the short circuit.
- In addition, in Comparative Example 4, the film thickness of the insulating film formed on the surface of the electrically conductive particles was thick to be 80% of the average particle size of the electrically conductive particles, and the thick insulating film inhibited the conduction properties when the anisotropic conductive film was sandwiched between the connecting terminals. For this reason, in Comparative Example 4, although the electrostatic property was favorable and the proportion of short circuit between the adjacent terminals was 1 ppm to be favorable, but the conduction resistance was as high as 2.0Ω.
- From this, it can be seen that it is preferable that the thickness of the insulating film formed on the surface of the electrically conductive particles is 0.1% or more and 50% or less of the particle size of the electrically conductive particles.
