Description

接続構造体の製造方法及び異方性導電接着剤
 本技術は、導電性粒子が分散された異方性導電接着剤、及びそれを用いた接続構造体の製造方法に関し、特に、ドライバーIC(Integrated Circuit)、LED(Light Emitting Diode)等のチップ(素子)が発する熱を放熱することが可能な異方性導電接着剤、及びそれを用いた接続構造体の製造方法に関する。
 LED素子を基板に実装する工法として、ワイヤーボンド工法が用いられている。この他、ワイヤーボンドを用いない工法として、導電性ペーストを用いる工法が提案されていると共に、導電性ペーストを用いない工法として、異方性導電接着剤を用いる工法が提案されている。
 また、フリップチップ(FC:Flip-Chip)実装するためのLED素子が開発されており、そのFC実装用LED素子を基板に実装する工法として、金スズ共晶接合が用いられている。この他、金スズ共晶を用いない工法として、はんだペーストを用いるはんだ接続工法が提案されていると共に、はんだペーストを用いない工法として、異方性導電接着剤を用いる工法が提案されている。

 しかしながら、異方性導電接着剤の硬化物の熱伝導率は、0.2W/(m・K)程度であるため、LED素子から発生する熱を基板側に十分に逃がすことができない。また、異方性導電接着剤を用いたFC実装では、電気接続部分の導電性粒子のみが放熱路となるため、放熱性が悪い。
 したがって、接続信頼性が高く、しかも高い放熱性が得られる異方性導電接着剤及び接続構造体の製造方法を提供することが望ましい。
 本技術では、導電性粒子としてはんだ粒子を使用すると共に、異方性導電接着剤を用いて、はんだ粒子の融点未満の温度で加熱押圧することで、上述の目的を達成できることを見出した。
 すなわち、本技術の一実施形態における接続構造体の製造方法は、エポキシ樹脂及び酸無水物を含有する熱硬化性接着剤組成物とその熱硬化性接着剤組成物に分散されたはんだ粒子とを含む異方性導電接着剤を、第1の電子部品の端子と第2の電子部品の端子との間に配置する工程と、第1の電子部品の端子及び第2の電子部品の端子のうちのいずれか一方を用いて、はんだ粒子の融点未満である温度で異方性導電接着剤を押圧して、第1の電子部品の端子と第2の電子部品の端子との間にはんだ粒子を保持させることにより、はんだ粒子を介して第1の電子部品の端子と第2の電子部品の端子とを電気的に接続させる工程とを含むようにしたものである。
 また、本技術の一実施形態における異方性導電接着剤は、エポキシ樹脂及び酸無水物を含有する熱硬化性接着剤組成物と、その熱硬化性接着剤組成物に分散されたはんだ粒子とを含み、はんだ粒子が分散された熱硬化性接着剤組成物は、そのはんだ粒子の融点未満の温度で加熱されるものである。
 本技術の一実施形態における接続構造体の製造方法又は異方性導電接着剤によれば、はんだ粒子の融点未満の温度で異方性導電接着剤を押圧するため、はんだ粒子の表面は濡れるものの、はんだ粒子全体は溶融しない。そのために、はんだ粒子と端子表面とは金属結合を確保できるものの、接触面積が必要以上に大きくならない効果を有し、熱サイクル試験によるクラックなどの発生を防止することができる。また、金属結合により形成された接触は、放熱路としての役割を果たす。したがって、接続信頼性が高く、放熱性の高い、特に、LED素子の接続に有用な接続構造体の製造方法を提供することができる。

 以下、本技術の一実施形態について、図面を参照しながら下記順序にて詳細に説明する。

 2.接続構造体及びその製造方法
 3.実施例
 
<1.異方性導電接着剤及びその製造方法>
 本技術の一実施形態における異方性導電接着剤は、エポキシ樹脂と酸無水物とを含有するバインダー(接着剤成分である熱硬化性接着剤組成物)中にはんだ粒子が分散されたものであり、その形状は、ペースト、フィルムなどであり、目的に応じて適宜選択することができる。
 本技術の一実施形態では、異方性導電接着剤を後述する構成とすることにより、圧着時に、はんだ粒子がその融点未満の温度で加熱加圧されるため、はんだ粒子の表面は濡れるものの、はんだ粒子全体は溶融しない。このため、はんだ粒子と端子表面とは金属結合を確保できるものの、接触面積が必要以上に大きくならず、熱サイクル試験によるクラックなどの発生を防止することができる。また、金属結合により形成された接触は、放熱路としての役割を果たす。したがって、接続信頼性が高く、放熱性の高い、特に、LED素子の接続に有用な接続構造体の製造方法を提供することができる。
 はんだ粒子の組成及び形状などに関しては、例えばJIS Z 3282-1999に規定されている。はんだ粒子の構成材料としては、Sn-Pb系、Pb-Sn-Sb系、Sn-Sb系、Sn-Pb-Bi系、Bi-Sn系、Sn-Cu系、Sn-Pb-Cu系、Sn-In系、Sn-Ag系、Sn-Pb-Ag系、Pb-Ag系などから、電極材料や接続条件などに応じて適宜選択することができる。また、はんだ粒子の形状としては、粒状、燐片状などから適宜選択することができる。なお、はんだ粒子は、異方性を向上させるために絶縁層で被覆されていても構わない。
 本技術の一実施形態では、加熱押圧する際の加熱温度がはんだ粒子の融点よりも低く設定されるが、この加熱押圧の際の加熱温度は、熱硬化性接着剤組成物の反応開始温度と等しい又はそれ以上であることが好ましい。具体的には、熱硬化性樹接着剤組成物の反応温度が、一般的な140℃~220℃である場合、はんだ粒子の融点が210℃~250℃の範囲のものを選択することが好ましく、210℃~240℃の範囲のものを選択することがより好ましい。
 はんだ粒子の中には、いわゆる固相点及び液相点を有するはんだ粒子と、固相点と液相点が実質的に合致して一つの融点として把握される共晶はんだ粒子がある。本技術の一実施形態においては、そのいずれのはんだ粒子も使用が可能であるが、前者のはんだ粒子を使用する場合には、固相点未満で加熱押圧し、後者の場合には共晶融点未満で加熱押圧することになる。すなわち、本明細書において、はんだ粒子の融点は、大気圧雰囲気で固相(固体)のはんだが溶け始める固相線温度を云う。
 はんだ粒子の平均粒径(D50)は、1μm~20μmであることが好ましく、より好ましくは2μm~10μmである。また、はんだ粒子の配合量は、接続信頼性及び絶縁信頼性の観点から異方性導電接着剤全量に対して1体積%~50体積%の範囲であることが好ましく、特に、3体積%~25体積%の範囲であることが好ましい。はんだ粒子の配合量が、3体積%以上であると、接続信頼性と放熱性を確実に確保され、25体積%以下であると、隣接するはんだ粒子の接触に伴うショート等を避けることができる。
 なお、導電性粒子として、はんだ粒子以外にも、本技術の効果に影響を与えない範囲において、エポキシ樹脂、フェノール樹脂、アクリル樹脂、アクリロニトリル・スチレン(AS)樹脂、ベンゾグアナミン樹脂、ジビニルベンゼン系樹脂、スチレン系樹脂等の樹脂粒子の表面をAu、Ni、Zn等の金属で被覆した金属被覆樹脂粒子を併用することができる。
 また、本技術の一実施形態における異方性導電接着剤(熱硬化性接着剤組成物)中に白色無機粒子が分散されていることが好ましい。白色無機粒子は、異方性導電接着剤に光反射性を与えるとともに、異方性導電接着剤に多少の熱伝導性を高める目的で配合される。
 白色無機粒子としては、金属酸化物、金属窒素化物、金属硫化物等の無機微粒子が用いられ、自然光の下で灰色から白色を呈する粒子であることが好ましい。具体的な白色無機粒子としては、酸化チタン、窒化ホウ素、酸化亜鉛、及び酸化アルミニウム等の中から種々選択して使用することが好ましい。
 また、白色無機粒子の熱伝導率は、10W/(m・K)以上であることが好ましい。白色無機粒子の熱伝導率が10W/(m・K)以上であることにより、接続構造体の放熱性を向上させることができる。
 白色無機粒子の形状は、球状、鱗片状、不定形状、針状等で良いが、反射率を考慮すると、球状又は鱗片状であることが好ましい。白色無機粒子の平均粒径(D50)は、はんだ粒子よりも大きいと端子間接続の際の障害となるため、はんだ粒子よりも小さいことが好ましい。具体的な平均粒径(D50)は、白色無機粒子が球状の場合、0.02μm~20μm、より好ましくは0.2μm~10μm、さらに好ましくは0.2μm~1.0μmである。
 また、白色無機粒子の配合量は、少なすぎると光反射性の実現の効果がなく、また多すぎるとはんだ粒子の接続の障害となるため、異方導電接着剤全量において1体積%~50体積%、より好ましくは2体積%~25体積%である。
 熱硬化性接着剤組成物としては、従来の異方性導電接着剤や異方性導電フィルムにおいて使用されている接着剤組成物を利用することができる。熱硬化性接着剤組成物の主剤としては、脂環式エポキシ化合物や複素環系エポキシ化合物や水素添加エポキシ化合物等を主成分としたエポキシ硬化系接着剤が好ましく挙げられる。
 脂環式エポキシ化合物としては、分子内に2つ以上のエポキシ基を有するものが好ましく挙げられる。これらは、液状であっても固体状であってもよい。具体的には、グリシジルヘキサヒドロビスフェノールA、3,4-エポキシシクロヘキセニルメチル-3’,4’-エポキシシクロヘキセンカルボキシレート等を挙げることができる。中でも、硬化物にLED素子の実装等に適した光透過性を確保でき、速硬化性にも優れている点から、3,4-エポキシシクロヘキセニルメチル-3’,4’-エポキシシクロヘキセンカルボキシレートを好ましく使用することができる。
 複素環状エポキシ化合物としては、トリアジン環を有するエポキシ化合物を挙げることができ、特に好ましくは1,3,5-トリス(2,3-エポキシプロピル)-1,3,5-トリアジン-2,4,6-(1H,3H,5H)-トリオンを挙げることができる。
 水素添加エポキシ化合物としては、先述の脂環式エポキシ化合物や複素環系エポキシ化合物の水素添加物や、その他公知の水素添加エポキシ樹脂を使用することができる。
 脂環式エポキシ化合物や複素環系エポキシ化合物や水素添加エポキシ化合物は、単独で使用してもよいが、2種以上を併用することができる。また、これらのエポキシ化合物に加えて本技術の効果を損なわない限り、他のエポキシ化合物を併用してもよい。例えば、ビスフェノールA、ビスフェノールF、ビスフェノールS、ジアリールビスフェノールA、ハイドロキノン、カテコール、レゾルシン、クレゾール、テトラブロモビスフェノールA、トリヒドロキシビフェニル、ベンゾフェノン、ビスレゾルシノール、ビスフェノールヘキサフルオロアセトン、テトラメチルビスフェノールA、テトラメチルビスフェノールF、トリス(ヒドロキシフェニル)メタン、ビキシレノール、フェノールノボラック、クレゾールノボラック等の多価フェノールとエピクロルヒドリンとを反応させて得られるグリシジルエーテル;グリセリン、ネオペンチルグリコール、エチレングリコール、プロピレングリコール、ヘキシレングリコール、ポリエチレングリコール、ポリプロピレングリコール等の脂肪族多価アルコールとエピクロルヒドリンとを反応させて得られるポリグリシジルエーテル;p-オキシ安息香酸、β-オキシナフトエ酸のようなヒドロキシカルボン酸とエピクロルヒドリンとを反応させて得られるグリシジルエーテルエステル;フタル酸、メチルフタル酸、イソフタル酸、テレフタル酸、テトラハイドロフタル酸、エンドメチレンテトラハイドロフタル酸、エンドメチレンヘキサハイドロフタル酸、トリメット酸、重合脂肪酸のようなポリカルボン酸から得られるポリグリシジルエステル;アミノフェノール、アミノアルキルフェノールから得られるグリシジルアミノグリシジルエーテル;アミノ安息香酸から得られるグリシジルアミノグリシジルエステル;アニリン、トルイジン、トリブロムアニリン、キシリレンジアミン、ジアミノシクロヘキサン、ビスアミノメチルシクロヘキサン、4,4’-ジアミノジフェニルメタン、4,4’-ジアミノジフェニルスルホン等から得られるグリシジルアミン;エポキシ化ポリオレフィン等の公知のエポキシ樹脂類が挙げられる。
 主剤を反応させる硬化剤としては、酸無水物、イミダゾール化合物、ジシアン等を挙げることができる。中でも、硬化物を変色させ難い酸無水物、特に脂環式酸無水物系硬化剤を好ましく使用できる。具体的には、メチルヘキサヒドロフタル酸無水物等を好ましく挙げることができる。
 また、酸無水物は、はんだ粒子に対するフラックスとして機能することができ、主剤のエポキシ樹脂の当量を超えて、酸無水物を配合することも差し支えない。具体的には、反応の観点からは、エポキシ樹脂の1.0当量に対して酸無水物が0.7当量~1.0当量で十分であるが、さらに、フラックスとして機能させるために、1.0当量~1.3当量の間で配合することが好ましい。このため、酸無水物は、エポキシ樹脂の1.0当量に対して0.7当量~1.3当量の範囲で配合されていることが好ましい。酸無水物は、エポキシ樹脂の1.0当量に対して1.0当量を超えて配合されてもよい。
 このような構成からなる異方性導電接着剤は、後述の製造方法と相まって、端子間のある程度の接触面積を維持しながら、高い放熱性及び高い接続信頼性を得ることができる。
<2.接続構造体及びその製造方法>
 次に、前述した異方性導電接着剤を用いた接続構造体について説明する。本技術の一実施形態における接続構造体では、第1の電子部品の端子と、第2の電子部品の端子とが、樹脂粒子の表面に導電性金属層が形成された導電性粒子を介して電気的に接続されている。第1の電子部品の端子と第2の電子部品の端子との間には、はんだ粒子が捕捉(保持)されている。
 本技術の一実施形態における電子部品としては、熱を発するドライバーIC(Integrated Circuit)、LED(Light Emitting Diode)等のチップ(素子)が好適である。
 図1は、LED実装体の構成例を示す断面図である。このLED実装体は、LED素子(第1の電子部品)と、そのLED素子を搭載する基板(第2の電子部品)とを、前述したはんだ粒子が接着剤成分中に分散された異方性導電接着剤を用いて接続したものである。
 LED素子は、例えばサファイヤからなる素子基板11上に、例えばn-GaNからなる第1導電型クラッド層12と、例えばInx Aly Ga1-x-y N層からなる活性層13と、例えばp-GaNからなる第2導電型クラッド層14とを備え、いわゆるダブルヘテロ構造を有する。また、第1導電型クラッド層12上の一部に第1導電型電極12aを備え、第2導電型クラッド層14上の一部に第2導電型電極14aを備える。LED素子の第1導電型電極12aと第2導電型電極14aとの間に電圧を印加すると、活性層13にキャリアが集中し、再結合することにより発光が生じる。
 基板は、基材21上に第1導電型用回路パターン22と、第2導電型用回路パターン23とを備え、LED素子の第1導電型電極12a及び第2導電型電極14aに対応する位置にそれぞれ電極22a及び電極23aを有する。
 異方性導電接着剤は、前述と同様、はんだ粒子31と、白色無機粒子32とがバインダー33に分散されたものである。
 図1に示すように、LED実装体では、LED素子の端子(電極12a、14a)と、基板の端子(電極22a、23a)とが、はんだ粒子31を介して電気的に接続される。また、LED素子と基板との間に白色無機粒子32が分散されている。
 これにより、LED素子の活性層13で発生した熱をはんだ粒子31を介して効率良く基板側に逃がすことができ、発光効率の低下を防ぐとともにLED実装体を長寿命化させることができる。また、白色無機粒子32が、白又は灰色の無彩色であることにより、活性層13からの光を反射し、高い輝度を得ることができる。
 また、フリップチップ実装するためのLED素子は、図2に示すように、パッシベーション15により、LED素子の端子(電極12a、14a)が大きく設計されているため、LED素子の端子(電極12a、14a)と基板の端子(回路パターン22、23)との間にはんだ粒子31がより多く捕捉される。これにより、LED素子の活性層13で発生した熱をさらに効率良く基板側に逃がすことができる。
 また、LED素子の端子(12a、14a)及び基板の端子(22、23)のそれぞれの材質は、はんだ粒子との共晶結合のために、金(Au)又は金-錫合金(AuSn)であることが好ましい。詳細には、LED素子の端子(12a、14a)及び基板の端子(22、23)は、いずれも金を含んでいることが好ましい。中でも、LED素子の端子(12a、14a)は金-錫合金であると共に、基板の端子(22、23)は金であることがより好ましい。
 次に、上述した接続構造体の製造方法について説明する。本技術の一実施形態における実装体の製造方法は、エポキシ樹脂と酸無水物とを含有する熱硬化性接着剤組成物に前述したはんだ粒子が分散された異方性導電接着剤を、第1の電子部品の端子と第2の電子部品の端子との間に配置する配置工程と、第1の電子部品の端子及び第2の電子部品の端子のうちのいずれか一方を用いて、所定の加熱温度で異方性導電接着剤を押圧して、第1の電子部品の端子と第2の電子部品の端子との間にはんだ粒子を捕捉させる押圧工程を有する。押圧工程では、第1の電子部品と第2の電子部品とを用いると共に、加熱ヘッド等の加熱ツールを使って、異方性導電接着剤を加熱押圧する。
 この加熱押圧により、はんだ粒子を第1の電子部品の端子と第2の電子部品の端子との間に捕捉させる際、その加熱温度は、はんだ粒子の融点未満とすることで、はんだ粒子全体を溶融させずに各端子に接触させる。より具体的な加熱温度としては、熱硬化性接着剤組成物の反応開始温度以上の温度であることが好ましいと共に、はんだ粒子の融点よりも15℃以上低い温度であることが好ましい。これにより、はんだ粒子と端子との接触面積が必要以上に大きくならず、熱サイクル試験におけるクラック等の発生を防止することができる。
 なお、加熱押圧の際の加熱温度は、加熱ツールのみを使用する場合は、加熱ツールの温度で近似することができる。また、接続構造体を配置するステージが加熱される場合、加熱ツールよりも異方性導電接着剤に与えられる温度が高いことがあるため、加熱ツールの温度を基準とするのではなく、加熱される異方性導電接着剤自体を熱電対等の測定機器を使って、実測を行うことが望ましい。
 なお、上記した本技術の一実施形態における接続構造体の製造方法及び異方性導電接着剤を用いない方法及びその問題点等は、以下の通りである。
 LED素子を基板に実装する工法として、ワイヤーボンド(WB:Wire Bonding)工法が用いられている。WB工法は、図3に示すように、LED素子の電極(第1導電型電極104a及び第2導電型電極102a)面を上に向け(フェイスアップ)、そのLED素子と基板の電気的接合をワイヤーボンド(WB)301a、301bで行い、LED素子と基板との接着には、ダイボンド材302を用いる。
 しかし、このようなワイヤーボンドで電気的接続を得る方法では、電極(第1導電型電極104a及び第2導電型電極102a)からのワイヤーボンドの物理的破断・剥離のリスクがあるため、より信頼性の高い技術が求められている。さらに、ダイボンド材302の硬化プロセスは、オーブン硬化で行われるため、生産に時間が掛かる。
 ワイヤーボンドを用いない工法として、図4に示すように、LED素子の電極(第1導電型電極104a及び第2導電型電極102a)面を基板側に向け(フェイスダウン、フリップチップ)、そのLED素子と基板との電気的接続に、銀ペーストに代表される導電性ベースト303(303a、303b)を用いる方法がある。
 しかし、導電性ペースト303(303a、303b)は、接着力が弱いため、封止樹脂304による補強が必要である。さらに、封止樹脂304の硬化プロセスは、オーブン硬化で行われるため、生産に時間が掛かる。
 導電性ペーストを用いない工法として、図5に示すように、LED素子の電極面を基板側に向け(フェイスダウン、フリップチップ)、そのLED素子と基板との電気的接続及び接着に、絶縁性の接着剤バインダー305中に導電性粒子306を分散させた異方性導電接着剤を用いる方法がある。異方性導電接着剤は、接着プロセスが短いため、生産効率が良い。また、異方性導電接着剤は、安価であり、透明性、接着性、耐熱性、機械的強度、電気絶縁性等に優れている。
 また、フリップチップ(FC:Flip-Chip )実装するためのLED素子が開発されている。このFC実装用LED素子は、パッシベーション105により、電極面積を大きく取る設計が可能であるため、バンプレス実装が可能となる。また、発光層の下に反射膜を設けることによって光取り出し効率が良くなる。
 FC実装用LED素子を基板に実装する工法としては、図6に示すように、金スズ共晶接合が用いられている。金スズ共晶接合は、チップ電極を金とスズの合金307で形成し、フラックスを基板に塗布し、チップを搭載、加熱することで基板電極と、共晶接合させる工法である。しかし、このようなはんだ接続工法は、加熱中のチップズレや洗浄しきれなかったフラックスによる信頼性への悪影響があるため歩留まりが悪い。また、高度な実装技術が必要である。
 金スズ共晶を用いない工法として、図7に示すように、LED素子の電極面と基板との電気的接続に、はんだペーストを用いるはんだ接続工法がある。しかし、このようなはんだ接続工法は、ペーストが等方性の導電性を有するため、pn電極間がショートしてしまい歩留まりが悪い。
 はんだペーストを用いない工法として、図8に示すように、LED素子と基板との電気的接続及び接着に、図5と同様、絶縁性のバインダー中に導電性粒子を分散させたACF(Anisotropic conductive film)などの異方性導電接着剤を用いる方法がある。異方性導電接着剤は、pn電極間に絶縁性のバインダーが充填される。よって、ショートが発生しにくいため歩留まりが良い。また、接着プロセスが短いため、生産効率が良い。
 ところで、LED素子の活性層(ジャンクション)103は、光の他に多くの熱を発生し、発光層温度(Tj=ジャンクション温度)が100℃以上になると、LEDの発光効率が低下し、LEDの寿命が短くなる。このため、活性層103の熱を効率良く逃がすための構造が必要である。
 図3に示すようなWB実装では、活性層103がLED素子の上側に位置するため、発生した熱が基板側に効率良く伝わらないため放熱性が悪い。
 また、図4、図6及び図7に示すようなフリップチップ実装を行うと、活性層103が基板側に位置するため、熱が基板側に効率良く伝わる。図4及び図7に示すように、電極間を導電性ペースト303(303a、303b)で接合した場合、高効率で放熱することができるが、導電性ペースト303(303a、303b)による接続は、上記で述べたように接続信頼性が悪い。また、図6に示すように、金スズ共晶接合を行った場合も、上記で述べたのと同様に接続信頼性が悪い。
 また、図5及び図8に示すように、導電性ペースト303(303a、303b)を用いずにACFやACP(Anisotropic Conductive Paste)等の異方性導電接着剤でフリップチップ実装することで、活性層103が基板側近くに配置され、熱が基板側に効率良く伝わる。また、接着力が高いため、高い接続信頼性が得られる。
 また、はんだペーストに類似する技術として、異方性導電接着剤に、導電性粒子としてはんだ粒子を配合することが考えられる。
 また、LED素子に使用される異方性導電接着剤に、接着層内部に入射する光を効率的に利用するために、白色無機粒子を含有させることにより、当該光を反射させてLED素子の全光束量を高めることが考えられる。
 異方性導電接着剤にはんだ粒子を用いれば、接続信頼性の確保はもとより、放熱性の確保も期待できる。しかしながら、はんだ粒子全体を溶融させてしまうと、必要以上にはんだ粒子と端子との接触面積が高くなり、その状態で熱サイクル試験を行うと、クラックなどの不良が発生してしまう。
 また、異方性導電接着剤に白色無機粒子を含有させる場合には、その白色無機粒子を含有する異方性導電接着剤の熱伝導率が10W/(m・k)であり、多少熱伝導率が高いため、放熱性が期待できる。しかし、白色無機粒子の粒子径が導電性粒子と同じ又は大きい場合、LED素子と基板の端子間に対して接続不良の原因となる。また、白色無機粒子の粒径が小さい場合、端子間同士で接触しないため放熱路となりえない。結局、接続信頼性を確保しようとすると、白色無機粒子は放熱性に寄与させることができないのが現実である。
<3.実施例>
 以下、本技術の実施例について詳細に説明するが、本技術はこれらの実施例に限定されるものではない。

 比較例3では、エポキシ樹脂(CEL2021P)と酸無水物(MH700)を主成分としたバインダーに、はんだ粒子(粒径10μm、mp217℃)と、白色無機粒子を混合し、450nmの光で反射率が65%の異方性導電接着剤を得た。この異方性導電接着剤を用いてLEDチップ側電極にAuめっきを施したLEDチップと、基板側電極にAuめっきを施した基板とをはんだ粒子の融点よりも高い260℃で加熱圧着して電気接続し、LEDモジュールを得た。その結果、LEDモジュールの初期導通特性はショートが発生した。また、LEDモジュールの電気接続部分の断面観察の結果、はんだ粒子は溶融し、PN電極間に広がっていることを確認した。
 以上のように、LED素子の電極と基板電極とを電気的に接続する方法として、はんだ粒子を含む異方性導電接着剤を使用し、はんだ融点よりも低い温度で加熱圧着することにより、高い放熱特性及び高い接着特性を有するLEDモジュールを製造することができることが分かった。また、加熱温度とはんだ粒子の融点とは、実施例1~4においては、17℃、20℃、37℃の差異があり、すなわち、はんだ粒子の融点との差が15℃以上あれば良いことがわかった。また、実施例1~4のLEDチップの接続構造体は、白色無機粒子の配合により、反射率が高く、そのために光学特性が向上することが分かった。また、実施例1~5では、硬化剤として酸無水物を使用し、酸無水物が主剤のエポキシ樹脂の硬化に加え、フラックスとしても機能するため、酸無水物が配合されていない比較例2と比較して、高い接着特性が得られることが分かった。
