Description

DESCRIPTION
ONE-PART CURABLE SILICONE COMPOSITION
AND OPTICAL SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an one-part curable silicone composition that is cured by a hydrosilylation reaction, and an optical semiconductor device produced using the composition.
[0002] Priority is claimed on Japanese Patent Application No. 2013-179426, filed on August 30, 2013, the contents of which is incorporated herein by reference. Background Art
[0003] Curable silicone compositions having aryl groups that are cured by a hydrosilylation reaction are used as a sealant of elements in optical semiconductor devices such as luminous diodes (LED) and as a protector because they are rapidly cured by heating to form a highly transparent cured product with a high refractive index.
[0004] Examples of such curable silicone compositions include a curable silicone composition comprising: a branched-chain organopolysiloxane having phenyl groups and alkenyl groups, an organopolysiloxane with at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms in a molecule, and a hydrosilylation reaction catalyst (see Patent Document 1); a curable silicone compositions comprising: a straight-chain organopolysiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups and at least one aryl group in a molecule, a branched-chain
organopolysiloxane having at least one alkenyl group and at least one aryl group in a molecule, an organopolysiloxane having at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms in a molecule, and a hydrosilylation reaction catalyst (see Patent Document 2); a curable silicone compositions comprising: a straight-chain organopolysiloxane having at least one alkenyl group and containing diphenylsiloxane units in a molecule, a branched-chain organopolysiloxane having vinyl groups and phenyl groups, an organopolysiloxane having diorganohydrogensiloxy groups, and a hydrosilylation reaction catalyst (see Patent Document 3).
[0005] Such curable silicone compositions are provided in two components that are divided into an organopolysiloxane having silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms and a hydrosilylation reaction catalyst in order to ensure storage stability. The two components must be uniformly mixed for use. Consequently, the inherent performance would not be adequately demonstrated if the mixture ratio of the two components should vary or if the two components are not adequately mixed. Thus, an one-part curable silicone
composition that has storage stability and that does not require mixture prior to use is desired. Prior Art Documents

Brief Description of the Drawings
[0014] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an LED that is an example of an optical semiconductor device of the present invention. Detailed Description of the Invention
[0015] First, the one-part curable silicone composition of the present invention will be described in detail.
[0016] Component (A) is a main material of this composition and is a branched-chain organopolysiloxane represented by the average unit formula:
(R1Si03/2)a (R1 2Si02/2)b (R1 3Si01/2)c (Si04/2)d (XOi/2)e
[0017] In the formula, R1 represent the same or different monovalent hydrocarbon groups. Specific examples include alkyl groups such as methyl groups, ethyl groups, propyl groups, butyl groups, pentyl groups, hexyl groups, heptyl groups; alkenyl groups such as vinyl groups, allyl groups, butenyl groups, pentenyl groups, hexenyl groups; aryl groups such as phenyl groups, tolyl groups, xylyl groups; aralkyl groups such as benzyl groups or phenethyl groups; halogenated alkyl groups such as 3-chloropropyl groups, and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl groups. However, at least 5 mol% of R1 in a molecule are alkenyl groups, and preferably at least 10 mol% of R1 are alkenyl groups. Furthermore, at least 30 mol% of R1 are aryl groups, and preferably at least 40 mol% of R1 are aryl groups. That is because of a decrease in attenuation of light from the resulting cured product due to refraction, reflection, or dispersion. Furthermore, X in the formula represents hydrogen atoms or alkyl groups. Examples of such alkyl groups include methyl groups, ethyl groups, propyl groups, and butyl groups.
[0018] Furthermore, a in the formula represents a positive integer, b represents 0 or a positive integer, c represents 0 or a positive integer, d represents a number from 0 to 0.3, e represents a number from 0 to 0.4, and b/a represents a number from 0 to 10, c/a represents a number from 0 to 5 and a + b + c + d = l . [0019] Component (B) is a crosslinking agent of this composition and a catalyst that stimulates this crosslinking. It is a reaction mixture or a mixture derived by mixing (i) an organopolysiloxane represented by the general formula:
HR2 2SiO(R2 2SiO)mSiR2 2H
with (ii) a hydrosilylation reaction metal-based catalyst and (iii) an amine compound represented by the general formula:
R4 2N-R5-NR4 2
[0020] R in the formula in component (i) represent the same or different monovalent hydrocarbon groups lacking aliphatic unsaturated bonds. Specific examples include alkyl groups such as methyl groups, ethyl groups, propyl groups, butyl groups, pentyl groups, hexyl groups, heptyl groups; aryl groups such as phenyl groups, tolyl groups, xylyl groups; aralkyl groups such as benzyl groups or phenethyl groups; halogenated alkyl groups such as 3-chloropropyl groups, and 3,3,3-trifluoropropyl groups. However, at least 15 mol% of R2 in a molecule are aryl groups, and preferably at least 20 mol% of R2 or at least 30 mol% of R2 are aryl groups. That is because of a decrease in attenuation of light from the resulting cured product due to refraction, reflection, or dispersion. Furthermore, in the formula, m represents an integer from 1 to 100, preferably an integer from 1 to 50, and most preferably an integer from 1 to 20. That is because the operational efficiency for handling the resultant composition is enhanced if m is not more than the maximum of the aforementioned range.
[0021] Examples of component (ii) include platinum catalysts, rhodium catalysts and palladium catalysts, and the platinum catalysts are preferable. Examples of such platinum catalysts include fine platinum powder, chloroplatinic acid, alcohol solutions of
chloroplatinic acid, a platinum-alkenylsiloxane complex, a platinum-olefin complex, and a platinum-carbonyl complex. A platinum-alkenylsiloxane complex is preferable.
Examples of the alkenylsiloxane include l,3-divinyl-l ,l ,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, 1 ,3,5,7- tetramethyl-l ,3,5,7-tetravinyl cyclotetrasiloxane, alkenylsiloxanes having part of the methyl groups of these alkenylsiloxane substituted by ethyl groups, phenyl groups, or the like, and alkenylsiloxanes having vinyl groups of these alkenylsiloxane substituted by allyl groups, hexenyl groups, or the like. l,3-divinyl-l ,l ,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane is preferable because of its good stability.

[0023] The amount of component (ii) that is added is an amount such that catalyst metal contained in component (ii) reach from 0.01 to 1 ,000 ppm in mass units in
component (B). Preferably, the amount is from 0.1 to 1 ,000 ppm, or from 0.1 to 500 ppm.
[0024] In the formula, R3 in component (iii) represent the same or different hydrogen atoms or alkyl groups having from 1 to 4 carbons. Examples of this alkyl group include methyl groups, ethyl groups, propyl groups, and butyl groups. In addition, R4 represents an alkylene group having from 2 to 4 carbons. Examples of this alkylene group include ethylene groups, propylene groups, methylmethylene groups and methyl ethylene groups.
[0025] Examples of component (iii) include Ν,Ν,Ν',Ν'-tetramethyl ethylene diamine, Ν,Ν-dimethylethylene diamine, Ν,Ν-diethylethylene diamine, N,N-dibutylethylene diamine, Ν,Ν,Ν',Ν'-tetraethylethylene diamine.
[0026] Component (iii) is known as a reaction inhibitor in hydrosilylation reacting curable silicone compositions, but while this component is merely contained alone in conventional compositions, the storage stability of an one-part curable silicone
composition was found to be markedly enhanced by premixture of this composition with component (i) and component (ii).
[0027] The amount of component (iii) that is added is from 0.5 to 1 ,000 ppm of mass units in component (B), and preferably from 1 to 400 ppm.
[0028] Component (B) is prepared by mixing the aforementioned component (i) to component (iii), but these components may be heated or cured at room temperature after mixture.
[0029] The content of component (B) in this composition is from 0.1 to 5 mols of silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms in component (i) per one mol of alkenyl groups in component (A), and preferably from 0.5 to 2 mols. This is because the present
composition is satisfactorily cured if the content of component (B) is not less than the lower limit of the above-mentioned range, and heat resistance of an obtained cured product is improved if the content of component (B) is not more than the upper limit of the above- mentioned range.
[0030] This composition may include (C) a straight-chain organopolysiloxane represented by the general formula:
Figure imgf000008_0001
in order to adjust the hardness of the obtained cured product.
[0031] In the formula, R5 represent the same or different monovalent hydrocarbon groups. Examples are groups similar to those presented in the aforementioned R1. · However, at least two of R5 in a molecule are alkenyl groups. In addition, at least 20 mol% of R5 in a molecule are aryl groups. Preferably, at least 30 mol% of R5 are aryl groups, and more preferably at least 40 mol% of R5 are aryl groups. That is because of a decrease in attenuation of light from the resultant cured product due to refraction, reflection, or dispersion. Furthermore, n in the formula is an integer from 5 to 1,000, preferably an integer from 5 to 100, and more preferably an integer from 5 to 50.
[0032] There is no specific limitation on the content of component (C) in this composition, but it preferably is not more than 100 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of component (A), and more preferably not more than 70 parts by mass so that the hardness of the resultant cured product is not markedly reduced. Furthermore, the content preferably exceeds 1 part by mass per 100 parts by mass of component (A), and more preferably 5 parts by mass, so as to suitably adjust the hardness of the resulting cured product and so as to adjust the hardness of the obtained cured product.
[0033] Furthermore, this composition may also include (D) a branched-chain organopolysiloxane represented by the average unit formula:
(HR6 2SiO! /2)f (R6Si03/2)g (R6 2Si02/2)h (R6 3Si01 /2)i (Si04/2)j (Y01/2)k
in order to adjust the hardness of the resultant cured product and to impart mechanical strength.
[0034] R6 in the formula represent the same or different monovalent hydrocarbon groups lacking aliphatic unsaturated bonds. Specific examples are groups similar to those presented in the aforementioned R . However, at least 10 mol% of R in a molecule are aryl groups. At least 15 mol% of R6 are preferably aryl groups, and more preferably at least 20 mol% of R6 are aryl groups. That is because of a decrease in attenuation of light from the resulting cured product due to refraction, reflection, or dispersion. Furthermore, Y in the formula represents a hydrogen atom or alkyl group. Examples of the alkyl group include methyl groups, ethyl groups, propyl groups and butyl groups.
[0035] In the formula, f represents a positive integer, g represents a positive integer, h represents 0 or a positive integer, i represents 0 or a positive integer, j represents a number from 0 to 0.3, k represents a number from 0 to 0.4, and f/g represents a number from 0.1 to 4, h/g represents a number from 0 to 10, i/g represents a number from 0 to 50, and
f + g + h + i + j = l .
[0036] There is no specific limitation on the content of component (D) in this composition. The content of silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms in component (D) is from 1 to 20 mol%, preferably from 2 to 20 mol%, and more preferably from 2 to 10% of the total of silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms in components (B) and (D) in order to impart moderate hardness and mechanical strength to the resulting cured product. That is because mechanical strength can be imparted to the resulting cured product if the content of component (D) exceeds the minimum in the aforementioned range. On the other hand, moderate hardness can be imparted to the resulting cured product if the content is equal to or below the maximum in the aforementioned range.
[0037] A reaction inhibitor, for example, an alkyne alcohol such as 2-methyl-3-butyn-
2- ol, 3,5-dimethyl-l -hexyn-3-ol or 2-phenyl-3-butyn-2-ol; an ene-yne compound such as
3- methyl-3-penten-l-yne or 3,5-dimethyl-3-hexen-l-yne; or l ,3,5,7-tetramethyl-l ,3,5,7- tetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane, l ,3,5,7-tetramethyl-l ,3,5,7-tetrahexenylcyclotetrasiloxane or a benzotriazole may be incorporated as an optional component in the present composition. There is no specific limitation on the content of this reaction inhibitor, but a range of 0.0001 to 5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of this composition is preferable.
[0038] The present composition may also contain an adhesion-imparting agent for improving the adhesion of the composition. Preferred adhesion-imparting agents are organosilicon compounds having at least one alkoxy group bonded to a silicon atom in a molecule. This alkoxy group is exemplified by a methoxy group, an ethoxy group, a propoxy group, a butoxy group, and a methoxy ethoxy group; and the methoxy group is particularly preferred. Moreover, non-alkoxy groups bonded to a silicon atom of this organosilicon compound are exemplified by substituted or non-substituted monovalent hydrocarbon groups such as alkyl groups, alkenyl groups, aryl groups, aralkyl groups, halogenated alkyl groups and the like; glycidoxyalkyl groups such as a 3-glycidoxypropyl group, a 4-glycidoxybutyl group, and the like; epoxycyclohexylalkyl groups such as a 2- (3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl group, a 3-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)propyl group, and the like; oxiranylalkyl groups such as a 4-oxiranyl butyl group, an 8-oxiranyloctyl group, and the like; acrylic group-containing monovalent organic groups such as a 3-methacryloxypropyl group and the like; and a hydrogen atom. This organosilicon compound preferably has groups that can react with alkenyl groups or silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms in this composition. Specificly, it preferably has silicon-bonded alkenyl groups or silicon- bonded hydrogen atoms. Moreover, due to the ability to impart good adhesion with respect to various types of substrates, this organosilicon compound preferably has at least one epoxy group-containing monovalent organic group in a molecule. This type of organosilicon compound is exemplified by organosilane compounds, organosiloxane oligomers, and alkyl silicates. Molecular structure of the organosiloxane oligomer or alkyl silicate is exemplified by a linear structure, partially branched linear structure, branched chain structure, ring-shaped structure, and net-shaped structure. A linear chain structure, branched chain structure, and net-shaped structure are particularly preferred. This type of organosilicon compound is exemplified by silane compounds such as 3- glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane, 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyl trimethoxysilane, 3- methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane, and the like; siloxane compounds having at least one of silicon-bonded alkenyl groups or silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms, and at least one silicon-bonded alkoxy group in a molecule; mixtures of a silane compound or siloxane compound having at least one silicon-bonded alkoxy group and a siloxane compound having at least one silicon-bonded hydroxyl group and at least one silicon-bonded alkenyl group in a molecule; and methyl polysilicate, ethyl polysilicate, and epoxy group- containing ethyl polysilicate. There is no specific limitation on the content of adhesion- imparting agent in this composition. A range of 0.01 to 10 parts by mass of this adhesion-imparting agent per 100 parts by mass of this composition is preferable.
[0039] Moreover, an inorganic filler such as silica, glass, alumina or zinc oxide; an organic resin fine powder of a polymethacrylate resin and the like; a heat-resistant agent, a dye, a pigment, a flame retardant, a solvent and the like may be incorporated as optional components in the present composition at levels that do not impair the object of the present invention.
[0040] Curing of this composition is promoted by heating, and heating to a
temperature range of 50 to 200°C is preferable to accelerate curing.
[0041] Furthermore, this composition has adequate storage stability even at a temperature of 25°C, but cooling to a temperature 5°C or less is preferable.
