Definitions

• the invention pertains to methods for producing 5 an article by means of inhibitor-containing liquids having reduced spreading tendency on solid surfaces.
• a first approach consists of appropriate modification of the solid surface to lower its critical surface tension of wetting. This can be done by means of an appropriate low energy surface coating.
• a second approach for preventing or reducing the spreading of a liquid on a solid surface also discussed by Bernett and Zisman (ibid.) consists of addition of a selected solute, to be referred to as an "inhibitor,” to the liquid.
• an additive while dispersed or dissolved in a liquid, can adsorb on a solid surface in contact with the liquid and form a thin layer thereon, with the resulting coated surface having a critical surface tension of wetting that is lower than the surface tension of the additive-containing liquid, then the liquid will not spread on the surface, and the additive is a potential inhibitor.
• the additive is more volatile than the liquid and creates a surface tension gradient at the edge of the liquid drop that opposes the spontaneous spreading of the liquid.
• the present invention is concerned with the inhibitor approach and does not require creation of a surface tension gradient. The gradient variant, therefore, will not be further discussed herein.
• Cottington et al report that effective adsorbable additives for the prevention of spreading of oils include the. silicones, fluoroesters, amine-organic acid salts, high molecular weight organic acids, alcohols, or amines, and some oil-soluble soaps (op.
• the additive should have appreciable solubility in the base oil over the temperature range contemplated, should adsorb promptly on the surface from the leading edge to give a film from which the oil retracts, that it should lower the surface tension of the base oil by less than 5 dynes/cm, that it should be more volatile than the base oil, and that it should not be altered by hydrolysis or oxidation in such a way as to increase the surface free energy of the adsorbed film.
• the prior art does not seem to have given consideration to inhibitors potentially capable of prevention of spreading of oils or other liquids at elevated temperatures.
• Oils are not the only liquids whose spreading tendency is of technological concern.
• conductive adhesives used for bonding a semiconductor component, e.g., a chip, to, e.g., a metallized substrate, are subject to spreading.
• Such spreading can have quite deleterious results. For instance, it can result,in coating of bonding pads used for connections to external circuitry and consequent reduction of the strength and reliability of wire connections made thereto, as well as in other difficulties in later processing steps due to surface contamination by the spreading liquid.

Also, the presence of inhibitor in a liquid according to the invention typically does not result in substantial deleterious changes in the properties of bodies produced from the liquid.

• Coating of a surface with such a compound typically results in a surface having substantially lower critical surface tension of wetting than the uncoated surface, typically less than about 30 dynes/cm at room temperature, i.e., at about 20°C. Since most coating-forming liquids, e.g., adhesives comprising epoxy resins, have surface tensions at room temperature greater than about 30 dynes/cm, the class of compounds discussed above thus are potentially useful as inhibitors. Inhibitors according to the invention advantageously have relatively low vapor pressure, in order to avoid loss of the inhibitor from the liquid during curing or other processing steps.
