Description

シリカ質粉末、その製造方法及び用途Siliceous powder, production method and use thereof
 本発明は、シリカ質粉末、その製造方法及び用途に関する。 The present invention relates to a siliceous powder, a production method thereof and an application.
 電子機器の小型化、軽量化、高性能化の要求に対応して、半導体の小型化、薄型化、高密度化が急速に進展している。また、半導体の実装方法も配線基板などへの高密度実装に好適な表面実装が主流になっている。近年、この表面実装型の半導体は、配線基板への実装高さを低くするため、超薄型の半導体パッケージが使用されるようになってきており、パッケージの肉厚が非常に薄くなっている。さらに最近では、半導体の上に、もう一段半導体を実装するPoP(Package on Package)実装法が実用化されており、半導体の薄型化がより一層進展している。 In response to the demands for smaller, lighter, and higher performance electronic devices, semiconductors are rapidly becoming smaller, thinner, and higher in density. As a semiconductor mounting method, surface mounting suitable for high-density mounting on a wiring board or the like is mainly used. In recent years, in order to reduce the mounting height of the surface-mount type semiconductor on the wiring board, an ultra-thin semiconductor package has been used, and the thickness of the package has become very thin. . Furthermore, recently, a PoP (Package-on-Package) mounting method in which another semiconductor is mounted on a semiconductor has been put into practical use, and the semiconductor has been further reduced in thickness.
 一方、昨今の環境問題への意識の高まりから、半導体の配線基板への実装には、環境負荷の大きい鉛を含有しない鉛フリーハンダが使用されるようになってきており、実装する際の温度が従来よりも、数10℃高くなっている。すなわち、半導体パッケージが従来よりも薄くなった状態で、従来よりも高温にさらされ実装される為、パッケージクラックの問題が多発するようになってきており、半導体封止材には、より一層の曲げ強度の向上、耐ハンダクラック性の向上などが要求されている。 On the other hand, due to the recent increase in awareness of environmental issues, lead-free solder that does not contain lead, which has a large environmental impact, has come to be used for mounting semiconductors on wiring boards. However, it is several tens of degrees Celsius higher than before. In other words, the semiconductor package is exposed to a higher temperature than in the past in a state where the semiconductor package is thinner, so that the problem of package cracks has frequently occurred. Improvements in bending strength and solder crack resistance are required.
 この要求を満たすべく、半導体封止材に使用するエポキシ樹脂やフェノール樹脂硬化剤等を改良する手法などによって、曲げ強度を向上させる、低応力化を図るといった手法がとられている(特許文献1及び特許文献2参照)。しかし、これらの手法では曲げ強度の向上効果は十分ではなく、従来よりも薄いパッケージで、鉛フリーハンダでの実装温度に耐え、耐ハンダクラック性を著しく向上させることができる半導体封止材は未だない。 In order to satisfy this requirement, a technique has been adopted in which bending strength is improved and stress is reduced by a technique of improving an epoxy resin, a phenol resin curing agent, or the like used for a semiconductor sealing material (Patent Document 1). And Patent Document 2). However, these methods do not provide sufficient bending strength improvement effects, and semiconductor encapsulants that can withstand mounting temperatures with lead-free solder and have significantly improved solder crack resistance are still available in thinner packages than before. Absent.
 また、セラミックス粉末を改質する手法としては、半導体封止材の高温放置特性(信頼性)を改善する目的で、アンモニアの化学的吸着量を制御し、半導体封止材中の不純物をトラップさせた例などが挙げられる。(特許文献3参照)

In addition, as a method of modifying ceramic powder, in order to improve the high temperature storage characteristics (reliability) of the semiconductor encapsulant, the chemical adsorption amount of ammonia is controlled to trap impurities in the semiconductor encapsulant.

Is done.
 以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
 本発明のシリカ質粉末は、ピリジンのフロイントリッヒ吸着定数Kが1.3~5.0であるシリカ質粉末である。塩基性物質であるピリジンは、シリカ質粉末表面の酸点に吸着するため、この物質の吸着定数Kの値が大きいほどシリカ質粉末表面の酸点の数が多いことを意味する。シリカ質粉末の酸点が多いと、アミノシラン、フェニルアミノシランなどの塩基性シランカップリング剤との結合点が多くなる。このため半導体封止材中のエポキシ樹脂、フェノール樹脂などの樹脂成分とシリカ質粉末表面との密着性がより強固になり、曲げ強度が向上するとともに、樹脂成分とシリカ質粉末との界面に水分が入り込みにくくなるため、耐ハンダクラック性も飛躍的に向上する。
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
The siliceous powder of the present invention is a siliceous powder having a Freundlich adsorption constant K of pyridine of 1.3 to 5.0. Since pyridine, which is a basic substance, adsorbs on the acid sites on the surface of the siliceous powder, the larger the value of the adsorption constant K of this material, the greater the number of acid sites on the surface of the siliceous powder. When the acid point of the siliceous powder is large, the bonding point with a basic silane coupling agent such as aminosilane or phenylaminosilane increases. For this reason, the adhesion between the resin component such as epoxy resin and phenol resin in the semiconductor sealing material and the surface of the siliceous powder becomes stronger, the bending strength is improved, and moisture is present at the interface between the resin component and the siliceous powder. Since it becomes difficult to penetrate, solder crack resistance is also greatly improved.
 ピリジンのフロイントリッヒ吸着定数Kが1.3未満であると、シランカップリング剤とシリカ質粉末との結合点が少なくなるため、半導体封止材の曲げ強度や耐ハンダクラック性を顕著に改善することができない。一方、ピリジンのフロイントリッヒ吸着定数Kが5.0を超えると、シリカ質粉末表面の酸点の数が多くなりすぎ、エポキシ樹脂を硬化させてしまう。このため半導体封止材を用いて半導体をパッケージングする際の封止材の粘度が上昇するため、成形性が損なわれてしまうという不具合が生じてしまう。好ましいピリジンのフロイントリッヒ吸着定数Kの値は1.5~4.5、特に好ましくは2.0~4.3である。これらの値は、従来のシリカ質粉末のフロイントリッヒ吸着定数Kの値0.07~0.8と比較すると特異的である。 If the Freundlich adsorption constant K of pyridine is less than 1.3, the bonding point between the silane coupling agent and the siliceous powder is reduced, so that the bending strength and solder crack resistance of the semiconductor encapsulant are remarkably improved. I can't. On the other hand, when Freundlich adsorption constant K of pyridine exceeds 5.0, the number of acid sites on the surface of the siliceous powder becomes too large and the epoxy resin is cured. For this reason, since the viscosity of the sealing material at the time of packaging a semiconductor using a semiconductor sealing material rises, the malfunction that a moldability will be impaired will arise. The value of Freundlich adsorption constant K of pyridine is preferably 1.5 to 4.5, particularly preferably 2.0 to 4.3. These values are specific when compared with the values of Freundlich adsorption constant K of conventional siliceous powders of 0.07 to 0.8.
 ピリジンのフロイントリッヒ吸着定数Kは以下のような手順で測定することができる。
(1)ピリジン標準溶液の調製:分光分析用ピリジン0.1molを500mlメスフラスコに取り、分光分析用n-ヘプタンで定容する。次に、前記ピリジン溶液を200mlメスフラスコにそれぞれ、0.25ml、0.50ml、1.00ml取り、n-ヘプタンで定容し、0.25mmol/l、0.50mmol/l、1.00mmol/lのピリジン標準溶液を調製する。
(2)シリカ質粉末への吸着:あらかじめ200℃で2時間加熱して乾燥させ、デシケーター中で放冷しておいたシリカ質粉末各4.00gを、25mlメスフラスコ3本に精秤する。この各メスフラスコに0.25mmol/l、0.50mmol/l、1.00mmol/lのピリジン標準溶液20mlを入れ、3分間振り混ぜる。このメスフラスコを25℃に設定した恒温槽に2時間入れ、ピリジンをシリカ質粉末に吸着させる。
(3)ピリジン吸着量の測定:ピリジン標準溶液とシリカ質粉末とを混合した前記メスフラスコから、それぞれ上澄み液を取り、紫外可視分光光度計の測定セルに入れ、吸着されずに残った残留ピリジン濃度を吸光度により定量する。
(4)ピリジンのフロイントリッヒ吸着定数Kの算出: logA=logK+(1/n)logCのフロイントリッヒ吸着式によりピリジンのフロイントリッヒ吸着定数Kを算出する。すなわち、logAをY軸に、(1/n)logCをX軸にしたグラフを描くと、Y軸切片からlogKが求まり、Kが算出できる。ここで、Aはシリカ質粉末1gに吸着したピリジン量(μmol/g)、Cは上澄み液中の残留ピリジン濃度(μmol/ml)、K、nは定数である。
The Freundlich adsorption constant K of pyridine can be measured by the following procedure.
(1) Preparation of pyridine standard solution: Take 0.1 mol of pyridine for spectroscopic analysis in a 500 ml volumetric flask and make a constant volume with n-heptane for spectroscopic analysis. Next, 0.25 ml, 0.50 ml, and 1.00 ml of the pyridine solution were taken in 200 ml volumetric flasks, respectively, and fixed with n-heptane, and then 0.25 mmol / l, 0.50 mmol / l, 1.00 mmol / Prepare 1 standard solution of pyridine.
(2) Adsorption onto siliceous powder: 4.00 g of each siliceous powder that has been dried by heating at 200 ° C. for 2 hours and allowed to cool in a desiccator is precisely weighed into three 25 ml volumetric flasks. In each volumetric flask, 20 ml of a pyridine standard solution of 0.25 mmol / l, 0.50 mmol / l, and 1.00 mmol / l is added and shaken for 3 minutes. This volumetric flask is placed in a thermostat set at 25 ° C. for 2 hours to adsorb pyridine onto the siliceous powder.
(3) Measurement of pyridine adsorption amount: From the volumetric flask in which the pyridine standard solution and the siliceous powder are mixed, each supernatant liquid is taken and placed in a measurement cell of an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, and residual pyridine remaining without being adsorbed The concentration is quantified by absorbance.
(4) Calculation of Freundlich adsorption constant K of pyridine: Freundlich adsorption constant K of pyridine is calculated by the Freundlich adsorption formula of logA = logK + (1 / n) logC. That is, if a graph is drawn with log A on the Y axis and (1 / n) log C on the X axis, log K is obtained from the Y axis intercept, and K can be calculated. Here, A is the amount of pyridine adsorbed on 1 g of siliceous powder (μmol / g), C is the residual pyridine concentration (μmol / ml) in the supernatant, and K and n are constants.
 なお、測定に使用する紫外可視分光光度計を例示すれば、島津製作所社製商品名「紫外可視分光光度計 モデルUV-1800」である。ピリジン標準溶液を調製するのに用いる試薬を例示すれば、和光純薬工業社製のピリジン(分光分析用グレード)、及びn-ヘプタン(分光分析用グレード)である。また、吸光度の測定波長は251nmとし、n-ヘプタンのみを測定しバックグランド補正をした。検量線の作成には、0.00mmmol/l、0.25mmol/l、0.50mmol/l、1.00mmol/lのピリジン標準溶液を用いた。 An example of an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer used for measurement is “Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer model UV-1800” manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation. Examples of the reagent used to prepare the pyridine standard solution are pyridine (grade for spectroscopic analysis) and n-heptane (grade for spectroscopic analysis) manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. The absorbance measurement wavelength was 251 nm, and only n-heptane was measured to correct the background. For the preparation of the calibration curve, 0.00 mmol / l, 0.25 mmol / l, 0.50 mmol / l, and 1.00 mmol / l pyridine standard solutions were used.
 また、本発明のシリカ質粉末の特徴は、SiO、Al、及びBの含有率(酸化物換算)の合計が99.5質量%以上であり、Al及びBの含有率の合計が0.1~20質量%であることである。SiO、Al、及びBの含有率の合計が99.5質量%未満、すなわち、SiO、Al、及びB以外の含有率が0.5質量%を超えると、半導体封止材とした際に、必要でない不純物となる物質が増えてしまうため、好ましくない。例えばNaO、Feなどは、一部がイオンとなり溶出し、半導体チップや配線にダメージを与えてしまう。MgO、KO、CaOなどは、シリカ質粉末の熱膨張率を大きくして、耐ハンダクラック性に悪影響を与えてしまう。
 SiO、Al、及びBの含有率の合計は、好ましくは99.6質量%以上、さらに好ましくは99.7質量%以上である。
 また、シリカ質粉末のAl及びBの含有率の合計は0.1~20質量%であることが好ましい。シリカ質粉末中にAl、Bが存在すると、Al、Bの位置が強い酸点になる。この酸点により、塩基性シランカップリング剤とシリカ質粉末表面との結合点が増加するため、曲げ強度、耐ハンダクラック性が改善される。Al及びBの含有率の合計が0.1質量%未満であると、酸点の増加が十分でなく、逆に20質量%を超えると、シリカ質粉末の熱膨張率が大きくなりすぎ、耐ハンダクラック性に悪影響を与えてしまう。より好ましいAl及びBの含有率の合計は0.2~18質量%、さらに好ましくは0.3~15質量%である。
Further, the siliceous powder of the present invention is characterized in that the total content of SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , and B 2 O 3 (as oxide) is 99.5% by mass or more, and Al 2 O 3 and The total content of B 2 O 3 is 0.1 to 20% by mass. The total content of SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , and B 2 O 3 is less than 99.5% by mass, that is, the content other than SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , and B 2 O 3 is 0.5% by mass. If it exceeds 50%, a substance that becomes an unnecessary impurity increases when the semiconductor sealing material is used, which is not preferable. For example, Na 2 O, Fe 2 O 3 and the like are partly ionized and eluted, causing damage to the semiconductor chip and wiring. MgO, K 2 O, CaO, etc. increase the coefficient of thermal expansion of the siliceous powder and adversely affect the solder crack resistance.
The total content of SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , and B 2 O 3 is preferably 99.6% by mass or more, and more preferably 99.7% by mass or more.
The total content of Al 2 O 3 and B 2 O 3 in the siliceous powder is preferably 0.1 to 20% by mass. When Al and B are present in the siliceous powder, the positions of Al and B become strong acid sites. This acid point increases the bonding point between the basic silane coupling agent and the surface of the siliceous powder, thereby improving the bending strength and solder crack resistance. When the total content of Al 2 O 3 and B 2 O 3 is less than 0.1% by mass, the acid point is not sufficiently increased. Conversely, when the total content exceeds 20% by mass, the thermal expansion coefficient of the siliceous powder Becomes too large and adversely affects solder crack resistance. The total content of Al 2 O 3 and B 2 O 3 is more preferably 0.2 to 18% by mass, still more preferably 0.3 to 15% by mass.

The platinum dish is allowed to stand on a sand bath heated to 300 ° C. for 15 minutes to dissolve and dry the powder. Next, a platinum dish is put in a muffle furnace heated to 1000 ° and heated for 10 minutes to evaporate fluorinated silicic acid. After cooling to room temperature in a desiccator, the mass of the platinum dish is precisely weighed, and the content of SiO 2 in the siliceous powder is calculated from the mass reduction rate.

The amount of Al in the solution is quantified by a calibration curve method using an atomic absorption photometer. The Al content is converted to Al 2 O 3 to calculate the content in the siliceous powder. An example of an atomic absorption photometer is the product name “Atomic Absorption Photometer Model AA-969” manufactured by Nippon Jarrel Ash. An example of a standard solution used for preparing a calibration curve is an Al standard solution for atomic absorption (concentration 1000 ppm) manufactured by Kanto Chemical. Note that an acetylene-nitrous oxide flame was used as a flame for measurement, and the absorbance at a wavelength of 309.3 nm was measured and quantified.
(3)B含有率の測定:シリカ質粉末1gを白金皿に精秤し、試薬特級フッ化水素酸、試薬特級硝酸、試薬特級マンニトールの1%水溶液をそれぞれ20ml、1ml、1ml加え、300℃に加熱されたサンドバス上に15分間静置して粉末を溶解、乾固させる。次に、白金皿の乾固物に、試薬特級硝酸、純水をそれぞれ1mlずつ加え、再溶解した後、25mlメスフラスコに移しかえ純水で定容する。この溶液中のB量をICP発光分光分析装置を用い検量線法により定量する。そのB量をBに換算しシリカ質粉末中の含有率を算出する。ICP発光分光分析装置を例示すれば、セイコーインスツルメント社製商品名「モデルSPS-1700R」であり、249.8nmの波長の発光強度を測定する。検量線を作成するのに用いる標準液を例示すれば、関東化学社製原子吸光用B標準液(濃度1000ppm)である。 (3) Measurement of B 2 O 3 content: 1 g of siliceous powder is precisely weighed on a platinum dish, and 1% aqueous solution of reagent special grade hydrofluoric acid, reagent special grade nitric acid, reagent special grade mannitol is added to each 20 ml, 1 ml and 1 ml. Then, leave it on a sand bath heated to 300 ° C. for 15 minutes to dissolve and dry the powder.

The amount of B in this solution is quantified by a calibration curve method using an ICP emission spectroscopic analyzer. The amount of B is converted into B 2 O 3 to calculate the content in the siliceous powder. For example, an ICP emission spectroscopic analyzer is a trade name “Model SPS-1700R” manufactured by Seiko Instruments Inc., which measures emission intensity at a wavelength of 249.8 nm. An example of a standard solution used for preparing a calibration curve is an atomic absorption B standard solution (concentration 1000 ppm) manufactured by Kanto Chemical Co., Inc.
 本発明の樹脂組成物における曲げ強度、及び耐ハンダクラック性の向上効果は、シリカ質粉末の比表面積が0.5~5m/gの範囲、平均粒子径が1~60μmの範囲にあるときにさらに助長される。比表面積が0.5m/g未満であると、シランカップリング剤とシリカ質粉末表面との結合面積が小さすぎ、曲げ強度、耐ハンダクラック性が改善されにくい。一方、比表面積が5m/gを超えると、シリカ質粉末が小さい粒子を多量に含むか、粒子表面の一部又は全部に凹凸があることを意味し、半導体封止材を用いて半導体をパッケージングする際の封止材の粘度が上昇するため、成形性が損なわれてしまう。好ましい比表面積の範囲は、0.6~4.8m/g、さらに好ましくは0.7~4.7m/gである。 The effect of improving the bending strength and solder crack resistance in the resin composition of the present invention is that when the specific surface area of the siliceous powder is in the range of 0.5 to 5 m 2 / g and the average particle diameter is in the range of 1 to 60 μm. Is further encouraged. When the specific surface area is less than 0.5 m 2 / g, the bonding area between the silane coupling agent and the siliceous powder surface is too small, and it is difficult to improve the bending strength and solder crack resistance. On the other hand, when the specific surface area exceeds 5 m 2 / g, it means that the siliceous powder contains a large amount of small particles or there are irregularities on part or all of the particle surface, and the semiconductor is encapsulated using a semiconductor encapsulant. Since the viscosity of the sealing material at the time of packaging rises, moldability will be impaired. The range of the specific surface area is preferably 0.6 to 4.8 m 2 / g, more preferably 0.7 to 4.7 m 2 / g.
 また、シリカ質粉末の平均粒子径が1μm未満でも、同様に、半導体封止材を用いて半導体をパッケージングする際の封止材の粘度が上昇するため、成形性が損なわれてしまうため好ましくない。逆に、平均粒子径が60μmを超える場合、半導体パッケージの肉厚が非常に薄くなっているため、半導体チップに傷をつけてしまう問題や、凹凸のない均質なパッケージが得られないという問題が発生してしまう。好ましい平均粒子径の範囲は、2~55μmであり、さらに好ましい範囲は、3~50μmの範囲である。また、最大粒子径は、196μm以下であることが好ましく、さらに好ましくは128μm以下である。 In addition, even if the average particle size of the siliceous powder is less than 1 μm, the viscosity of the sealing material when packaging the semiconductor using the semiconductor sealing material is increased, so that the moldability is impaired. Absent. Conversely, when the average particle diameter exceeds 60 μm, the thickness of the semiconductor package is so thin that the semiconductor chip is damaged or a uniform package without unevenness cannot be obtained. Will occur. A preferred average particle size range is 2 to 55 μm, and a more preferred range is 3 to 50 μm. The maximum particle size is preferably 196 μm or less, more preferably 128 μm or less.
 本発明のシリカ質粉末の平均粒子径は、レーザー回折散乱法による粒度測定に基づいて測定する。使用される測定機としては、例えば、シーラス社製商品名「シーラスグラニュロメーター モデル920」を用い、水にシリカ質粉末を分散させ、さらに超音波ホモジナイザーで200Wの出力で1分間分散処理してから測定する。なお、粒度分布測定は、粒子径チャンネルが0.3、1、1.5、2、3、4、6、8、12、16、24、32、48、64、96、128、196μmにて行なう。測定した粒度分布において、累積質量が50%となる粒子径が平均粒子径、累積質量が100%となる粒子径が最大粒子径である。 The average particle size of the siliceous powder of the present invention is measured based on particle size measurement by a laser diffraction scattering method. As a measuring instrument to be used, for example, a product name “Cirrus Granurometer Model 920” manufactured by Cirrus Co., Ltd. is used, and siliceous powder is dispersed in water. Measure from The particle size distribution was measured when the particle diameter channel was 0.3, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 196 μm. Do. In the measured particle size distribution, the particle size at which the cumulative mass is 50% is the average particle size, and the particle size at which the cumulative mass is 100% is the maximum particle size.
 本発明のシリカ質粉末の比表面積は、BET法による比表面積測定に基づいて測定する。比表面積測定機を例示すれば、マウンテック社製商品名「マックソーブ モデルHM-1208」である。 The specific surface area of the siliceous powder of the present invention is measured based on the specific surface area measurement by the BET method. As an example of a specific surface area measuring machine, it is the product name “Muxsorb Model HM-1208” manufactured by Mountec.
 本発明のシリカ質粉末は、他の無機質粉末に混合しても、その効果を発現させることができる。無機質粉末中の本発明のシリカ質粉末の含有率は、0.5質量%以上であることが好ましく、さらには2質量%以上であることが好ましい。無機質粉末の種類としては、シリカ質粉末及び/又はアルミナ質粉末であることが好ましい。これらの粉末は単独で用いてもよく、また二種類混合してもよい。半導体封止材の熱膨張率を低くする場合や、金型の摩耗性を低減する場合にはシリカ質粉末が、熱伝導性を付与する場合にはアルミナ質粉末が選択される。なおシリカ質粉末は、後記の方法で測定された非晶質率の値で95%以上であることが好ましい。 Even if the siliceous powder of the present invention is mixed with other inorganic powder, the effect can be exhibited. The content of the siliceous powder of the present invention in the inorganic powder is preferably 0.5% by mass or more, and more preferably 2% by mass or more. The inorganic powder is preferably a siliceous powder and / or an alumina powder. These powders may be used alone or in combination. Silica powder is selected when the thermal expansion coefficient of the semiconductor encapsulant is lowered or when the wear of the mold is reduced, and alumina powder is selected when thermal conductivity is imparted. In addition, it is preferable that siliceous powder is 95% or more by the value of the amorphous ratio measured by the postscript method.
 本発明のシリカ質粉末は、下記方法で測定された非晶質率が好ましくは95%以上、特には98%以上であることが好ましい。非晶質率は、粉末X線回折装置(例えばRIGAKU社製商品名「モデルMini Flex」)を用い、CuKα線の2θが26°~27.5°の範囲においてX線回折分析を行い、特定回折ピークの強度比から測定する。シリカ粉末の場合、結晶質シリカは、26.7°に主ピークが存在するが、非晶質シリカではピークは存在しない。非晶質シリカと結晶質シリカが混在していると、結晶質シリカの割合に応じた26.7°のピーク高さが得られるので、結晶質シリカ標準試料のX線強度に対する試料のX線強度の比から、結晶質シリカ混在比(試料のX線回折強度/結晶質シリカのX線回折強度)を算出し、式、非晶質率(%)=(1-結晶質シリカ混在比)×100から非晶質率を求める。 The siliceous powder of the present invention preferably has an amorphous ratio measured by the following method of 95% or more, particularly 98% or more. Amorphous ratio is specified by X-ray diffraction analysis using a powder X-ray diffractometer (for example, “Model Mini Flex” manufactured by RIGAKU) in the range of 2θ of CuKα ray of 26 ° to 27.5 °. Measured from the intensity ratio of diffraction peaks. In the case of silica powder, crystalline silica has a main peak at 26.7 °, but amorphous silica has no peak. When amorphous silica and crystalline silica are mixed, a peak height of 26.7 ° corresponding to the ratio of crystalline silica can be obtained, so the X-ray of the sample relative to the X-ray intensity of the crystalline silica standard sample From the intensity ratio, the crystalline silica mixing ratio (X-ray diffraction intensity of the sample / X-ray diffraction intensity of the crystalline silica) is calculated, and the formula, amorphous ratio (%) = (1-crystalline silica mixing ratio) Obtain the amorphous ratio from x100.
 本発明のシリカ質粉末、無機質粉末、及びアルミナ質粉末の平均球形度は好ましくは0.80以上、特には0.85以上であることが好ましい。これによって、樹脂組成物の粘度が低下し、成形性も向上させることができる。平均球形度は、実体顕微鏡(例えばニコン社製商品名「モデルSMZ-10型」)等にて撮影した粒子像を画像解析装置(例えばマウンテック社製商品名「MacView」)に取り込み、写真から粒子の投影面積(A)と周囲長(PM)から測定する。周囲長(PM)に対応する真円の面積を(B)とすると、その粒子の球形度はA/Bとなるので、試料の周囲長(PM)と同一の周囲長を持つ真円を想定すると、PM=2πr、B=πrであるから、B=π×(PM/2π)となり、個々の粒子の球形度は、球形度=A/B=A×4π/(PM)となる。このようにして得られた任意の粒子200個の球形度を求め、その平均値を平均球形度とした。 The average sphericity of the siliceous powder, the inorganic powder, and the alumina powder of the present invention is preferably 0.80 or more, and particularly preferably 0.85 or more. Thereby, the viscosity of a resin composition falls and a moldability can also be improved. The average sphericity is obtained by taking a particle image taken with a stereomicroscope (for example, trade name “Model SMZ-10” manufactured by Nikon Corporation) into an image analysis apparatus (for example, trade name “MacView” manufactured by Mountec Co., Ltd.). Measured from the projected area (A) and the perimeter (PM). If the area of a perfect circle corresponding to the perimeter (PM) is (B), the sphericity of the particle is A / B, so a perfect circle having the same perimeter as the perimeter (PM) of the sample is assumed. Then, since PM = 2πr and B = πr 2 , B = π × (PM / 2π) 2 , and the sphericity of each particle is sphericity = A / B = A × 4π / (PM) 2 . Become. The sphericity of 200 arbitrary particles thus obtained was determined, and the average value was defined as the average sphericity.
 次に、本発明のシリカ質粉末の製造方法ついて説明する。
 本発明の製造方法は、少なくとも2本のバーナーを、炉体の中心軸に対して2~10°の角度をつけて炉体に配置し、1本のバーナーからは原料シリカ質粉末を、少なくとも1本のバーナーからはAl源物質及び/又はB源物質を火炎に噴射することを特徴とするシリカ質粉末の製造方法である。原料シリカ質粉末とAl源物質及び/又はB源物質とを同一の1本のバーナーから火炎に噴射すると、噴射された原料は必ず円錐状に広がるため、原料シリカ質粉末の表面にAl源物質及び/又はB源物質が融着する割合が少なくなり、Al及びBの含有率の合計が0.1~20質量%である本発明のシリカ質粉末を製造することができない。また、原料シリカ質粉末とAl源物質及び/又はB源物質とを事前に混合しておいても、噴射時に円錐状に広がる際に、分散・分離されるため、組成が不均質になってしまう。
 少なくとも2本のバーナーを、炉体の中心軸に対して2~10°の角度をつけて、焦点を結ぶように炉体に配置し、1本のバーナーからは原料シリカ質粉末を、少なくとも1本のバーナーからはAl源物質及び/又はB源物質を火炎に噴射することで、本発明のシリカ質粉末を極めて効率よく製造することができる。Al源物質及び/又はB源物質を噴射するバーナーを複数本とすることで、本発明のシリカ質粉末の組成の均質性をより一段と高めることができる。好ましいバーナーの本数は、原料シリカ質粉末の噴射バーナー1本に対し、Al源物質及び/又はB源物質の噴射バーナーが2本の割合である。また、バーナーの配置角度は、炉体の中心軸に対して2~10°とする必要がある。バーナーの配置角度が2°未満であると、焦点を結ぶ位置が火炎の外になってしまい、原料シリカ質粉末の表面にAl源物質及び/又はB源物質が融着する割合が少なくなる。一方、バーナー配置角度が10°を超えても、原料シリカ質粉末の表面にAl源物質及び/又はB源物質が融着する前に焦点を結んでしまうので好ましくない。より好ましいバーナーの配置角度は、3~8°の範囲内である。
Next, the manufacturing method of the siliceous powder of the present invention will be described.
In the production method of the present invention, at least two burners are disposed in the furnace body at an angle of 2 to 10 ° with respect to the central axis of the furnace body, and at least raw silica material powder is contained from one burner. A siliceous powder manufacturing method is characterized in that an Al source material and / or a B source material are injected into a flame from one burner. When the raw material siliceous powder and the Al source material and / or B source material are injected into the flame from the same burner, the injected raw material always spreads in a conical shape, so the Al source material is formed on the surface of the raw material siliceous powder. And / or producing the siliceous powder of the present invention in which the ratio of the B source material to be fused is reduced and the total content of Al 2 O 3 and B 2 O 3 is 0.1 to 20% by mass. Can not. In addition, even if the raw siliceous powder and the Al source material and / or B source material are mixed in advance, they are dispersed and separated when spreading in a conical shape at the time of injection, so the composition becomes inhomogeneous. End up.
At least two burners are arranged in the furnace body so as to be focused at an angle of 2 to 10 ° with respect to the central axis of the furnace body. From one burner, at least one raw siliceous powder is placed. The siliceous powder of the present invention can be produced very efficiently by injecting Al source material and / or B source material into the flame from the burner of the present invention. By using a plurality of burners for injecting the Al source material and / or the B source material, the homogeneity of the composition of the siliceous powder of the present invention can be further enhanced. The number of the preferred burners is such that the injection burner of the Al source material and / or the B source material is two to one injection burner of the raw siliceous powder. Further, the arrangement angle of the burner needs to be 2 to 10 ° with respect to the central axis of the furnace body. When the arrangement angle of the burner is less than 2 °, the focal point is located outside the flame, and the proportion of the Al source material and / or B source material fused to the surface of the raw siliceous powder decreases. On the other hand, even if the burner arrangement angle exceeds 10 °, it is not preferable because the Al source material and / or the B source material are focused on the surface of the raw siliceous powder before fusing. A more preferable burner arrangement angle is in the range of 3 to 8 °.
 本発明においては、Al源物質が酸化アルミニウム粉末であることが好ましい。Al源物質としては、酸化アルミニウム、水酸化アルミニウム、硫酸アルミニウム、塩化アルミニウム、アルミニウム有機化合物などが挙げられるが、酸化アルミニウムが原料シリカ質粉末の融点と近いため、バーナーから噴射した際に原料シリカ質粉末の表面に融着しやすく、不純物含有率も少ないため最も好ましい。また、酸化アルミニウム粉末の平均粒子径は0.01~10μmであることが好ましい。平均粒子径が0.01μm未満であると、粉末が凝集しやすく、シリカ質粉末と融着した際の組成が不均質になる傾向にあり、同様に10μmを超えてもシリカ質粉末と融着した際の組成が不均質になる。好ましい平均粒子径の範囲は、0.03~8μm、さらに好ましくは0.05~5μmである。 In the present invention, the Al source material is preferably an aluminum oxide powder. Examples of the Al source material include aluminum oxide, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum sulfate, aluminum chloride, and an aluminum organic compound, but since the aluminum oxide is close to the melting point of the raw siliceous powder, the raw siliceous material is injected from the burner. It is most preferable because it is easily fused to the surface of the powder and has a low impurity content. The average particle size of the aluminum oxide powder is preferably 0.01 to 10 μm. If the average particle size is less than 0.01 μm, the powder tends to aggregate and the composition when fused with the siliceous powder tends to be inhomogeneous. The composition becomes inhomogeneous. A preferable range of the average particle diameter is 0.03 to 8 μm, more preferably 0.05 to 5 μm.

The Al 2 O 3 content of the raw siliceous powder is preferably 0.8% by mass or less, more preferably 0.5% by mass or less.
