(Conductive material)
The conductive material according to the present invention includes a plurality of conductive particles, a thermosetting compound, and a thermosetting agent. The conductive particles have a conductive part. The conductive particles have solder on the outer surface portion of the conductive portion. Solder is contained in the conductive part and is a part or all of the conductive part.
 本発明に係る導電材料では、上記導電性粒子は、上記導電部の上記はんだの外表面に、O-Si結合を有する。 In the conductive material according to the present invention, the conductive particles have an O—Si bond on the outer surface of the solder of the conductive portion.
 本発明では、導電材料中に特定の導電性粒子が含まれているため、はんだの腐食がかなり抑えられる。本発明では、上記の構成が備えられているので、電極間を電気的に接続した場合に、導電性粒子におけるはんだが、上下の対向した電極間に集まりやすく、導電性粒子におけるはんだを電極(ライン)上に効率的に配置することができる。また、導電性粒子におけるはんだの一部が、電極が形成されていない領域(スペース)に配置され難く、電極が形成されていない領域に配置されるはんだの量をかなり少なくすることができる。本発明では、対向する電極間に位置していない導電性粒子を、対向する電極間に効率的に移動させることができる。従って、電極間の導通信頼性を高めることができる。しかも、接続されてはならない横方向に隣接する電極間の電気的な接続を防ぐことができ、絶縁信頼性を高めることができる。 In the present invention, since specific conductive particles are contained in the conductive material, the corrosion of the solder is considerably suppressed. In the present invention, since the above-described configuration is provided, when the electrodes are electrically connected, the solder in the conductive particles easily collects between the upper and lower electrodes, and the solder in the conductive particles is removed from the electrode ( Line). In addition, a part of the solder in the conductive particles is difficult to be disposed in a region (space) where no electrode is formed, and the amount of solder disposed in a region where no electrode is formed can be considerably reduced. In this invention, the electroconductive particle which is not located between the opposing electrodes can be efficiently moved between the opposing electrodes. Therefore, the conduction reliability between the electrodes can be improved. In addition, it is possible to prevent electrical connection between laterally adjacent electrodes that should not be connected, and to improve insulation reliability.
 さらに、本発明では、導電材料中での導電性粒子の分散性が高く、導電材料の保存安定性に優れている。また、本発明では、導電性粒子におけるはんだの腐食も進行しにくい。このため、導電材料の保管前及び保管後のいずれの場合であっても、導電性粒子におけるはんだを電極上に効率的に配置することができ、電極間の導通信頼性を高めることができる。 Furthermore, in the present invention, the dispersibility of the conductive particles in the conductive material is high, and the storage stability of the conductive material is excellent. In the present invention, the corrosion of the solder in the conductive particles hardly progresses. For this reason, it is possible to efficiently arrange the solder in the conductive particles on the electrodes regardless of whether the conductive material is stored before or after storage, and the conduction reliability between the electrodes can be improved.
 さらに、本発明では、電極間の位置ずれを防ぐことができる。本発明では、導電材料を上面に配置した第1の接続対象部材に、第2の接続対象部材を重ね合わせた際に、第1の接続対象部材の電極と第2の接続対象部材の電極とのアライメントがずれた状態で、第1の接続対象部材と第2の接続対象部材とが重ね合わされた場合でも、そのずれを補正して、第1の接続対象部材の電極と第2の接続対象部材の電極とを接続させることができる(セルフアライメント効果)。 Furthermore, in the present invention, it is possible to prevent displacement between the electrodes. In the present invention, when the second connection target member is superimposed on the first connection target member having the conductive material disposed on the upper surface, the electrode of the first connection target member and the electrode of the second connection target member Even when the first connection target member and the second connection target member are overlapped in a state where the alignment of the first connection target member and the second connection target member are overlaid, the shift is corrected and the first connection target member electrode and the second connection target are corrected. The electrode of the member can be connected (self-alignment effect).

In the connection structure according to the present invention, the material of the connection portion is the conductive material described above, and the connection portion is formed of the conductive material described above. In the connection structure according to the present invention, the first electrode and the second electrode are electrically connected by solder in the conductive particles. In the connection structure according to the present invention, the first electrode and the second electrode are electrically connected by a solder portion in the connection portion.

The second connection object member having at least one second electrode on the surface opposite to the first connection object member side of the conductive material, the first electrode and the second electrode The first connection target member and the second connection target member are connected by heating the conductive material to a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the solder in the conductive particles, and the step of arranging the electrodes to face each other. Forming a connecting portion made of the conductive material, and electrically connecting the first electrode and the second electrode by a solder portion in the connecting portion. Preferably, the conductive material is heated above the curing temperature of the thermosetting compound.
 本発明に係る接続構造体及び本発明に係る接続構造体の製造方法では、特定の導電材料を用いているので、導電性粒子におけるはんだが第1の電極と第2の電極との間に集まりやすく、はんだを電極(ライン)上に効率的に配置することができる。また、はんだの一部が、電極が形成されていない領域(スペース)に配置され難く、電極が形成されていない領域に配置されるはんだの量をかなり少なくすることができる。従って、第1の電極と第2の電極との間の導通信頼性を高めることができる。しかも、接続されてはならない横方向に隣接する電極間の電気的な接続を防ぐことができ、絶縁信頼性を高めることができる。 In the connection structure according to the present invention and the method for manufacturing the connection structure according to the present invention, since the specific conductive material is used, the solder in the conductive particles gathers between the first electrode and the second electrode. It is easy and the solder can be efficiently arranged on the electrode (line). In addition, a part of the solder is difficult to be disposed in a region (space) where no electrode is formed, and the amount of solder disposed in a region where no electrode is formed can be considerably reduced. Therefore, the conduction reliability between the first electrode and the second electrode can be improved. In addition, it is possible to prevent electrical connection between laterally adjacent electrodes that should not be connected, and to improve insulation reliability.
 また、導電性粒子におけるはんだを電極上に効率的に配置し、かつ電極が形成されていない領域に配置されるはんだの量をかなり少なくするためには、上記導電材料は、導電フィルムではなく、導電ペーストであることが好ましい。 Further, in order to efficiently arrange the solder in the conductive particles on the electrode and to considerably reduce the amount of solder arranged in the region where the electrode is not formed, the conductive material is not a conductive film, A conductive paste is preferred.
 電極間でのはんだ部の厚みは、好ましくは10μm以上、より好ましくは20μm以上であり、好ましくは100μm以下、より好ましくは80μm以下である。電極の表面上のはんだ濡れ面積(電極の露出した面積100%中のはんだが接している面積)は、好ましくは50%以上、より好ましくは70%以上であり、好ましくは100%以下である。 The thickness of the solder part between the electrodes is preferably 10 μm or more, more preferably 20 μm or more, preferably 100 μm or less, more preferably 80 μm or less. The solder wetted area on the surface of the electrode (area where the solder is in contact with 100% of the exposed area of the electrode) is preferably 50% or more, more preferably 70% or more, and preferably 100% or less.
 本発明に係る接続構造体の製造方法では、上記第2の接続対象部材を配置する工程及び上記接続部を形成する工程において、加圧を行わず、上記導電材料には、上記第2の接続対象部材の重量が加わることが好ましく、上記第2の接続対象部材を配置する工程及び上記接続部を形成する工程において、上記導電材料には、上記第2の接続対象部材の重量の力を超える加圧圧力は加わらないことが好ましい。これらの場合には、複数のはんだ部において、はんだ量の均一性をより一層高めることができる。さらに、はんだ部の厚みをより一層効果的に厚くすることができ、はんだが電極間に多く集まりやすくなり、はんだを電極(ライン)上により一層効率的に配置することができる。また、はんだの一部が、電極が形成されていない領域(スペース)に配置され難く、電極が形成されていない領域に配置されるはんだの量をより一層少なくすることができる。従って、電極間の導通信頼性をより一層高めることができる。しかも、接続されてはならない横方向に隣接する電極間の電気的な接続をより一層防ぐことができ、絶縁信頼性をより一層高めることができる。 In the method for manufacturing a connection structure according to the present invention, in the step of arranging the second connection target member and the step of forming the connection portion, no pressure is applied, and the second connection is applied to the conductive material. The weight of the target member is preferably added, and in the step of arranging the second connection target member and the step of forming the connection portion, the conductive material exceeds the weight force of the second connection target member. It is preferable that no pressure is applied. In these cases, the uniformity of the amount of solder can be further enhanced in the plurality of solder portions. Furthermore, the thickness of the solder portion can be increased more effectively, so that a large amount of solder is easily collected between the electrodes, and the solder can be arranged more efficiently on the electrodes (lines). Further, a part of the solder is difficult to be disposed in a region (space) where no electrode is formed, and the amount of solder disposed in a region where no electrode is formed can be further reduced. Therefore, the conduction reliability between the electrodes can be further enhanced. In addition, the electrical connection between the laterally adjacent electrodes that should not be connected can be further prevented, and the insulation reliability can be further improved.
 また、導電フィルムではなく、導電ペーストを用いれば、導電ペーストの塗布量によって、接続部及びはんだ部の厚みを調整することが容易になる。一方で、導電フィルムでは、接続部の厚みを変更したり、調整したりするためには、異なる厚みの導電フィルムを用意したり、所定の厚みの導電フィルムを用意したりしなければならないという問題がある。また、導電フィルムでは、はんだの溶融温度で、導電フィルムの溶融粘度を十分に下げることが困難である傾向があり、はんだの凝集が阻害されやすいという問題がある。 Also, if a conductive paste is used instead of a conductive film, it becomes easy to adjust the thicknesses of the connection part and the solder part depending on the amount of the conductive paste applied. On the other hand, in the conductive film, in order to change or adjust the thickness of the connection portion, it is necessary to prepare a conductive film having a different thickness or to prepare a conductive film having a predetermined thickness. There is. Moreover, in the conductive film, it tends to be difficult to sufficiently lower the melt viscosity of the conductive film at the melting temperature of the solder, and there is a problem that the aggregation of the solder is easily inhibited.
 以下、図面を参照しつつ、本発明の具体的な実施形態を説明する。 Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
 図1は、本発明の一実施形態に係る導電材料を用いて得られる接続構造体を模式的に示す断面図である。 FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a connection structure obtained using a conductive material according to an embodiment of the present invention.
 図1に示す接続構造体1は、第1の接続対象部材2と、第2の接続対象部材3と、第1の接続対象部材2と第2の接続対象部材3とを接続している接続部4とを備える。接続部4は、上述した導電材料により形成されている。本実施形態では、上記導電材料は、複数の導電性粒子と、熱硬化性化合物と、熱硬化剤とを含む。上記熱硬化性化合物と上記熱硬化剤とは、熱硬化性成分である。 The connection structure 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a connection that connects a first connection target member 2, a second connection target member 3, and the first connection target member 2 and the second connection target member 3. Part 4. The connection part 4 is formed of the conductive material described above. In the present embodiment, the conductive material includes a plurality of conductive particles, a thermosetting compound, and a thermosetting agent. The thermosetting compound and the thermosetting agent are thermosetting components.
 接続部4は、複数の導電性粒子が集まり互いに接合したはんだ部4Aと、熱硬化性成分が熱硬化された硬化物部4Bとを有する。 The connecting portion 4 includes a solder portion 4A in which a plurality of conductive particles gather and are joined to each other, and a cured product portion 4B in which a thermosetting component is thermally cured.
 第1の接続対象部材2は表面(上面)に、複数の第1の電極2aを有する。第2の接続対象部材3は表面(下面)に、複数の第2の電極3aを有する。第1の電極2aと第2の電極3aとが、はんだ部4Aにより電気的に接続されている。従って、第1の接続対象部材2と第2の接続対象部材3とが、はんだ部4Aにより電気的に接続されている。なお、接続部4において、第1の電極2aと第2の電極3aとの間に集まったはんだ部4Aとは異なる領域(硬化物部4B部分)では、はんだは存在しない。はんだ部4Aとは異なる領域(硬化物部4B部分)では、はんだ部4Aと離れたはんだは存在しない。なお、少量であれば、第1の電極2aと第2の電極3aとの間に集まったはんだ部4Aとは異なる領域(硬化物部4B部分)に、はんだが存在していてもよい。 The first connection object member 2 has a plurality of first electrodes 2a on the surface (upper surface). The second connection target member 3 has a plurality of second electrodes 3a on the surface (lower surface). The first electrode 2a and the second electrode 3a are electrically connected by the solder portion 4A. Therefore, the first connection target member 2 and the second connection target member 3 are electrically connected by the solder portion 4A. In the connection portion 4, no solder exists in a region (cured product portion 4B portion) different from the solder portion 4A gathered between the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 3a. In an area different from the solder part 4A (hardened product part 4B part), there is no solder separated from the solder part 4A. If the amount is small, the solder may be present in a region (cured product portion 4B portion) different from the solder portion 4A gathered between the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 3a.
 図1に示すように、接続構造体1では、第1の電極2aと第2の電極3aとの間に、複数の導電性粒子が集まり、複数の導電性粒子が溶融した後、導電性粒子の溶融物が電極の表面を濡れ拡がった後に固化して、はんだ部4Aが形成されている。このため、はんだ部4Aと第1の電極2a、並びにはんだ部4Aと第2の電極3aとの接続面積が大きくなる。すなわち、導電性粒子を用いることにより、導電性の外表面がニッケル、金又は銅等の金属である導電性粒子を用いた場合と比較して、はんだ部4Aと第1の電極2a、並びにはんだ部4Aと第2の電極3aとの接触面積が大きくなる。このため、接続構造体1における導通信頼性及び接続信頼性が高くなる。なお、導電材料は、フラックスを含んでいてもよい。フラックスを用いた場合には、加熱により、一般にフラックスは次第に失活する。 As shown in FIG. 1, in the connection structure 1, after a plurality of conductive particles gather between the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 3a and the plurality of conductive particles melt, the conductive particles The melted material solidifies after the surface of the electrode wets and spreads to form the solder portion 4A. For this reason, the connection area of 4 A of solder parts and the 1st electrode 2a, and 4 A of solder parts, and the 2nd electrode 3a becomes large. That is, by using the conductive particles, the solder portion 4A, the first electrode 2a, and the solder are compared with the case where the conductive outer surface is made of a metal such as nickel, gold or copper. The contact area between the portion 4A and the second electrode 3a increases. For this reason, the conduction | electrical_connection reliability and connection reliability in the connection structure 1 become high. Note that the conductive material may contain a flux. When the flux is used, the flux is generally deactivated gradually by heating.
 なお、図1に示す接続構造体1では、はんだ部4Aの全てが、第1,第2の電極2a,3a間の対向している領域に位置している。図3に示す変形例の接続構造体1Xは、接続部4Xのみが、図1に示す接続構造体1と異なる。接続部4Xは、はんだ部4XAと硬化物部4XBとを有する。接続構造体1Xのように、はんだ部4XAの多くが、第1,第2の電極2a,3aの対向している領域に位置しており、はんだ部4XAの一部が第1,第2の電極2a,3aの対向している領域から側方にはみ出していてもよい。第1,第2の電極2a,3aの対向している領域から側方にはみ出しているはんだ部4XAは、はんだ部4XAの一部であり、はんだ部4XAから離れたはんだではない。なお、本実施形態では、はんだ部から離れたはんだの量を少なくすることができるが、はんだ部から離れたはんだが硬化物部中に存在していてもよい。 In addition, in the connection structure 1 shown in FIG. 1, all of the solder portions 4A are located in the facing region between the first and second electrodes 2a and 3a. The connection structure 1X of the modification shown in FIG. 3 is different from the connection structure 1 shown in FIG. 1 only in the connection portion 4X. The connection part 4X has the solder part 4XA and the hardened | cured material part 4XB. As in the connection structure 1X, most of the solder portions 4XA are located in regions where the first and second electrodes 2a and 3a are opposed to each other, and a part of the solder portion 4XA is first and second. You may protrude to the side from the area | region which electrode 2a, 3a has opposed. The solder part 4XA protruding laterally from the region where the first and second electrodes 2a and 3a are opposed is a part of the solder part 4XA and is not a solder separated from the solder part 4XA. In the present embodiment, the amount of solder away from the solder portion can be reduced, but the solder away from the solder portion may exist in the cured product portion.
 導電性粒子の使用量を少なくすれば、接続構造体1を得ることが容易になる。導電性粒子の使用量を多くすれば、接続構造体1Xを得ることが容易になる。 If the use amount of the conductive particles is reduced, it becomes easy to obtain the connection structure 1. If the usage-amount of electroconductive particle is increased, it will become easy to obtain the connection structure 1X.
 導通信頼性をより一層高める観点からは、接続構造体1,1Xでは、第1の電極2aと接続部4,4Xと第2の電極3aとの積層方向に第1の電極2aと第2の電極3aとの対向し合う部分をみたときに、第1の電極2aと第2の電極3aとの対向し合う部分の面積100%中の50%以上に、接続部4,4X中のはんだ部4A,4XAが配置されていることが好ましい。 From the viewpoint of further improving the conduction reliability, in the connection structures 1 and 1X, the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 2a are arranged in the stacking direction of the first electrode 2a, the connection portions 4 and 4X, and the second electrode 3a. When the portion facing the electrode 3a is viewed, the solder portion in the connection portions 4 and 4X is at least 50% of the area of 100% of the portion facing the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 3a. 4A and 4XA are preferably arranged.
 導通信頼性をより一層高める観点からは、上記第1の電極と上記接続部と上記第2の電極との積層方向に上記第1の電極と上記第2の電極との対向し合う部分をみたときに、上記第1の電極と上記第2の電極との対向し合う部分の面積100%中の50%以上(より好ましくは60%以上、更に好ましくは70%以上、特に好ましくは80%以上、最も好ましくは90%以上)に、上記接続部中のはんだ部が配置されていることが好ましい。 From the viewpoint of further improving the conduction reliability, the portion where the first electrode and the second electrode face each other in the stacking direction of the first electrode, the connection portion, and the second electrode is seen. Sometimes, 50% or more (more preferably 60% or more, still more preferably 70% or more, particularly preferably 80% or more) out of 100% of the area where the first electrode and the second electrode face each other. , Most preferably 90% or more), the solder portion in the connection portion is preferably disposed.
 導通信頼性をより一層高める観点からは、上記第1の電極と上記接続部と上記第2の電極との積層方向と直交する方向に上記第1の電極と上記第2の電極との対向し合う部分をみたときに、上記第1の電極と上記第2の電極との対向し合う部分に、上記接続部中のはんだ部の70%以上(より好ましくは80%以上、更に好ましくは90%以上、特に好ましくは95%以上、最も好ましくは99%以上)が配置されていることが好ましい。 From the viewpoint of further improving the conduction reliability, the first electrode and the second electrode are opposed to each other in a direction orthogonal to the stacking direction of the first electrode, the connection portion, and the second electrode. When the matching portion is viewed, the portion where the first electrode and the second electrode face each other is 70% or more (more preferably 80% or more, more preferably 90%) of the solder portion in the connection portion. In particular, it is preferable that 95% or more, most preferably 99% or more) is disposed.
 次に、本発明の一実施形態に係る導電材料を用いて、接続構造体1を製造する方法の一例を説明する。 Next, an example of a method for manufacturing the connection structure 1 using the conductive material according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.
 先ず、第1の電極2aを表面(上面)に有する第1の接続対象部材2を用意する。次に、図2(a)に示すように、第1の接続対象部材2の表面上に、熱硬化性成分11Bと、複数の導電性粒子11Aとを含む導電材料11を配置する(第1の工程)。第1の接続対象部材2の第1の電極2aが設けられた表面上に、導電材料11を配置する。導電材料11の配置の後に、導電性粒子11Aは、第1の電極2a(ライン)上と、第1の電極2aが形成されていない領域(スペース)上との双方に配置されている。 First, the first connection target member 2 having the first electrode 2a on the surface (upper surface) is prepared. Next, as shown in FIG. 2A, a conductive material 11 including a thermosetting component 11B and a plurality of conductive particles 11A is disposed on the surface of the first connection target member 2 (first Process). The conductive material 11 is disposed on the surface of the first connection target member 2 on which the first electrode 2a is provided. After the arrangement of the conductive material 11, the conductive particles 11A are arranged both on the first electrode 2a (line) and on a region (space) where the first electrode 2a is not formed.
 導電材料11の配置方法としては、特に限定されないが、ディスペンサーによる塗布、スクリーン印刷、及びインクジェット装置による吐出等が挙げられる。 The arrangement method of the conductive material 11 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include application by a dispenser, screen printing, and discharge by an inkjet device.
 また、第2の電極3aを表面(下面)に有する第2の接続対象部材3を用意する。次に、図2(b)に示すように、第1の接続対象部材2の表面上の導電材料11において、導電材料11の第1の接続対象部材2側とは反対側の表面上に、第2の接続対象部材3を配置する(第2の工程)。導電材料11の表面上に、第2の電極3a側から、第2の接続対象部材3を配置する。このとき、第1の電極2aと第2の電極3aとを対向させる。 Moreover, the 2nd connection object member 3 which has the 2nd electrode 3a on the surface (lower surface) is prepared. Next, as shown in FIG. 2B, in the conductive material 11 on the surface of the first connection target member 2, on the surface opposite to the first connection target member 2 side of the conductive material 11, The 2nd connection object member 3 is arrange | positioned (2nd process). On the surface of the conductive material 11, the second connection target member 3 is disposed from the second electrode 3a side. At this time, the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 3a are opposed to each other.
 次に、導電性粒子11Aの融点以上に導電材料11を加熱する(第3の工程)。好ましくは、熱硬化性成分11B(バインダー)の硬化温度以上に導電材料11を加熱する。この加熱時には、電極が形成されていない領域に存在していた導電性粒子11Aは、第1の電極2aと第2の電極3aとの間に集まる(自己凝集効果)。本実施形態では、導電フィルムではなく、導電材料を用いているために、更に導電材料が特定の組成を有するために、導電性粒子11Aが、第1の電極2aと第2の電極3aとの間に効果的に集まる。また、導電性粒子11Aは溶融し、互いに接合する。また、熱硬化性成分11Bは熱硬化する。この結果、図2(c)に示すように、第1の接続対象部材2と第2の接続対象部材3とを接続している接続部4を、導電材料11により形成する。導電材料11により接続部4が形成され、複数の導電性粒子11Aが接合することによってはんだ部4Aが形成され、熱硬化性成分11Bが熱硬化することによって硬化物部4Bが形成される。導電性粒子11Aが十分に移動すれば、第1の電極2aと第2の電極3aとの間に位置していない導電性粒子11Aの移動が開始してから、第1の電極2aと第2の電極3aとの間に導電性粒子11Aの移動が完了するまでに、温度を一定に保持しなくてもよい。 Next, the conductive material 11 is heated above the melting point of the conductive particles 11A (third step). Preferably, the conductive material 11 is heated above the curing temperature of the thermosetting component 11B (binder). At the time of this heating, the conductive particles 11A that existed in the region where no electrode is formed gather between the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 3a (self-aggregation effect). In this embodiment, since the conductive material is used instead of the conductive film, the conductive material 11A has a specific composition, so that the conductive particles 11A are formed between the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 3a. Gather effectively in between. In addition, the conductive particles 11A are melted and joined to each other. Further, the thermosetting component 11B is thermoset. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2C, the connection portion 4 that connects the first connection target member 2 and the second connection target member 3 is formed of the conductive material 11. The connection part 4 is formed of the conductive material 11, the solder part 4A is formed by joining the plurality of conductive particles 11A, and the cured part 4B is formed by thermosetting the thermosetting component 11B. If the conductive particles 11A are sufficiently moved, the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 2a are moved after the movement of the conductive particles 11A that are not positioned between the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 3a starts. The temperature does not have to be kept constant until the movement of the conductive particles 11A between the electrodes 3a is completed.
 本実施形態では、上記第2の工程及び上記第3の工程において、加圧を行わない方が好ましい。この場合には、導電材料11には、第2の接続対象部材3の重量が加わる。このため、接続部4の形成時に、導電性粒子11Aが、第1の電極2aと第2の電極3aとの間に効果的に集まる。なお、上記第2の工程及び上記第3の工程の内の少なくとも一方において、加圧を行えば、導電性粒子が第1の電極と第2の電極との間に集まろうとする作用が阻害される傾向が高くなる。 In this embodiment, it is preferable that no pressure is applied in the second step and the third step. In this case, the weight of the second connection target member 3 is added to the conductive material 11. For this reason, the conductive particles 11A are effectively collected between the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 3a when the connection portion 4 is formed. In addition, if pressure is applied in at least one of the second step and the third step, the action of the conductive particles trying to collect between the first electrode and the second electrode is inhibited. The tendency to be higher.
 ただし、第1の電極と第2の電極との間隔を確保できれば、加圧を行ってもよい。電極間の間隔を確保する手段として、例えば、所望の電極間の間隔に相当するスペーサーを添加し、少なくとも1個、好ましくは3個以上のスペーサーが電極間に配置されるようにすればよい。スペーサーとしては、無機粒子、有機粒子が挙げられる。スペーサーは絶縁性粒子であることが好ましい。 However, pressurization may be performed as long as the interval between the first electrode and the second electrode can be secured. As a means for ensuring the gap between the electrodes, for example, a spacer corresponding to the desired gap between the electrodes may be added so that at least one, preferably three or more spacers are arranged between the electrodes. Examples of the spacer include inorganic particles and organic particles. The spacer is preferably an insulating particle.
 また、本実施形態では、加圧を行っていないため、導電材料を塗布した第1の接続対象部材に、第2の接続対象部材を重ね合わせた際に、第1の接続対象部材の電極と第2の接続対象部材の電極のアライメントがずれた状態で、第1の接続対象部材と第2の接続対象部材とが重ね合わされた場合でも、そのずれを補正して、第1の接続対象部材の電極と第2の接続対象部材の電極とを接続させることができる(セルフアライメント効果)。これは、第1の接続対象部材の電極と第2の接続対象部材の電極との間に自己凝集した溶融したはんだが、第1の接続対象部材の電極と第2の接続対象部材の電極との間のはんだと導電材料のその他の成分とが接する面積が最小となる方がエネルギー的に安定になるため、その最小の面積となる接続構造であるアライメントのあった接続構造にする力が働くためである。この際、導電材料が硬化していないこと、及び、その温度、時間にて、導電材料の導電性粒子以外の成分の粘度が十分低いことが望ましい。 Moreover, in this embodiment, since pressurization is not performed, when the second connection target member is superimposed on the first connection target member to which the conductive material is applied, the electrode of the first connection target member Even when the first connection target member and the second connection target member are overlapped in a state where the alignment of the electrodes of the second connection target member is shifted, the shift is corrected and the first connection target member is corrected. And the electrode of the second connection target member can be connected (self-alignment effect). This is because the molten solder self-aggregated between the electrode of the first connection target member and the electrode of the second connection target member is the electrode of the first connection target member and the electrode of the second connection target member. As the area where the solder and the other components of the conductive material are in contact with each other is minimized, the energy becomes more stable.
