 以下、本発明の詳細を説明する。 Hereinafter, the details of the present invention will be described.
 (導電材料)
 本発明に係る導電材料は、複数の導電性粒子と、バインダーとを含む。上記導電性粒子は、導電部を有する。上記導電性粒子は、導電部の外表面部分に、はんだを有する。はんだは、導電部に含まれ、導電部の一部又は全部である。上記バインダーは、上記導電材料に含まれる導電性粒子を除く成分である。
(Conductive material)
The conductive material according to the present invention includes a plurality of conductive particles and a binder. 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. The binder is a component excluding conductive particles contained in the conductive material.
 本発明に係る導電材料は、上記バインダーとして、熱硬化性成分を含む。上記熱硬化性成分は、熱硬化性化合物と、熱硬化剤とを含む。 The conductive material according to the present invention contains a thermosetting component as the binder. The thermosetting component includes a thermosetting compound and a thermosetting agent.
 本発明に係る導電材料では、上記熱硬化性化合物が、チイラン基及びトリアジン骨格を有する熱硬化性化合物を含む。 In the conductive material according to the present invention, the thermosetting compound includes a thermosetting compound having a thiirane group and a triazine skeleton.
 本発明では、上記の構成が備えられているので、硬化物の透明性を高めることができ、更に硬化物が耐熱性に優れているので、硬化物が高温下に晒されても変色し難くすることができる。 In the present invention, since the above-described configuration is provided, the transparency of the cured product can be enhanced, and the cured product is excellent in heat resistance, so that the cured product is hardly discolored even when exposed to high temperatures. can do.
 さらに、本発明では、電極幅が狭く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る。電極幅が狭い場合に、電極上に導電性粒子のはんだを寄せ集めにくい傾向があるが、本発明では、電極幅が狭くても、電極上にはんだを充分に寄せ集めることができる。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位置しやすく、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、本発明では、電極幅が広いと、導電性粒子におけるはんだが電極上により一層効率的に配置される。 Furthermore, in the present invention, the solder in the conductive particles can be efficiently arranged on the electrode even if the electrode width is narrow. When the electrode width is narrow, there is a tendency that the solder of the conductive particles is difficult to gather on the electrode, but in the present invention, the solder can be sufficiently gathered on the electrode even if the electrode width is narrow. In the present invention, since the above configuration is provided, when the electrodes are electrically connected, the solder in the conductive particles is easily located between the upper and lower electrodes, and the solder in the conductive particles is used as the electrode. (Line) can be arranged efficiently. In the present invention, when the electrode width is wide, the solder in the conductive particles is arranged more efficiently on the electrode.
 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はんだを、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。 Also, it is difficult for a part of the solder in the conductive particles to be arranged in a region (space) where no electrode is formed, and the amount of solder arranged in a region where no electrode is formed can be considerably reduced. In the present invention, the solder that 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、導電材料の硬化物の耐熱性を高めることができる。特に、光半導体装置に導電材料を用いた場合に、光照射時に発熱し、導電材料の硬化物が高温下に晒される。本発明に係る導電材料は、硬化物の耐熱性に優れているので、光半導体装置に好適に用いることができる。特に、チイラン基及びトリアジン骨格を有する熱硬化性化合物を用いているので、導電材料の硬化物の耐熱性が高くなる。 Furthermore, in this invention, the heat resistance of the hardened | cured material of an electroconductive material can be improved. In particular, when a conductive material is used for the optical semiconductor device, heat is generated during light irradiation, and a cured product of the conductive material is exposed to a high temperature. Since the conductive material according to the present invention is excellent in the heat resistance of a cured product, it can be suitably used for an optical semiconductor device. In particular, since a thermosetting compound having a thiirane group and a triazine skeleton is used, the heat resistance of the cured material of the conductive material is increased.
 また、本発明では、導電材料の硬化物の屈折率を高めることができる。特に、本発明では、チイラン基及びトリアジン骨格を有する熱硬化性化合物を用いているので、導電材料の硬化物の屈折率が高くなる。導電材料の硬化物の屈折率をより一層高める観点からは、上記熱硬化性化合物は、トリアジン骨格を有する熱硬化性化合物を含むことが好ましく、チイラン基及びトリアジン骨格を有する熱硬化性化合物を含むことがより好ましく、本発明では、上記熱硬化性化合物は、チイラン基及びトリアジン骨格を有する熱硬化性化合物を含む。上記熱硬化性化合物の屈折率は、好ましくは1.75以上、より好ましくは1.8以上であり、好ましくは1.9以下、より好ましくは1.85以下である。上記熱硬化性化合物の屈折率が、上記下限以上であると、導電材料の硬化物の屈折率をより一層高めることができる。 In the present invention, the refractive index of the cured material of the conductive material can be increased. In particular, in the present invention, since a thermosetting compound having a thiirane group and a triazine skeleton is used, the refractive index of the cured material of the conductive material is increased. From the viewpoint of further increasing the refractive index of the cured material of the conductive material, the thermosetting compound preferably includes a thermosetting compound having a triazine skeleton, and includes a thermosetting compound having a thiirane group and a triazine skeleton. More preferably, in the present invention, the thermosetting compound includes a thermosetting compound having a thiirane group and a triazine skeleton.

 上記フラックスは、導電材料中に分散されていてもよく、導電性粒子の表面上に付着していてもよい。 The flux may be dispersed in the conductive material or may be adhered on the surface of the conductive particles.
 フラックスの融点が、はんだの融点より高いことにより、電極部分にはんだを効率的に凝集させることができる。これは、接合時に熱を付与した場合、接続対象部材上に形成された電極と、電極周辺の接続対象部材の部分とを比較すると、電極部分の熱伝導率が電極周辺の接続対象部材部分の熱伝導率よりも高いことにより、電極部分の昇温が速いことに起因する。導電性粒子におけるはんだの融点を超えた段階では、導電性粒子におけるはんだは溶解するが、表面に形成された酸化被膜は、フラックスの融点(活性温度)に達していないので、除去されない。この状態で、電極部分の温度が先に、フラックスの融点(活性温度)に達するため、優先的に電極上に来た導電性粒子におけるはんだの表面の酸化被膜が除去されることや、活性化したフラックスにより導電性粒子におけるはんだの表面の電荷が中和されることにより、はんだが電極の表面上に濡れ拡がることができる。これにより、電極上に効率的にはんだを凝集させることができる。 Since the melting point of the flux is higher than the melting point of the solder, the solder can be efficiently aggregated on the electrode portion. This is because, when heat is applied at the time of joining, when the electrode formed on the connection target member is compared with the portion of the connection target member around the electrode, the thermal conductivity of the electrode portion is that of the connection target member portion around the electrode. Due to the fact that it is higher than the thermal conductivity, the temperature rise of the electrode portion is fast. At the stage where the melting point of the solder in the conductive particles is exceeded, the solder in the conductive particles dissolves, but the oxide film formed on the surface does not reach the melting point (activation temperature) of the flux and is not removed. In this state, since the temperature of the electrode part first reaches the melting point (activation temperature) of the flux, the oxide film on the surface of the solder on the conductive particles preferentially coming on the electrode is removed or activated. Since the electric charge on the surface of the solder in the conductive particles is neutralized by the flux, the solder can spread on the surface of the electrode. Thereby, a solder can be efficiently aggregated on an electrode.

 本発明に係る接続構造体及び上記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、複数の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, since a specific conductive material is used, solder in a plurality of conductive particles easily collects between the first electrode and the second electrode. 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、複数の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、上記導電材料として、導電フィルムではなく、導電ペーストを用いることが好ましい。 Moreover, in order to arrange the solder in a plurality of conductive particles efficiently on the electrode and to considerably reduce the amount of the solder arranged in the region where the electrode is not formed, as the conductive material, a conductive film is used.

 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、複数の導電性粒子におけるはんだが電極間に多く集まりやすくなり、複数の導電性粒子におけるはんだを電極(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、複数の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導電性粒子におけ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 made even more effective, and a large amount of solder in a plurality of conductive particles tends to gather between the electrodes, and the solder in the plurality of conductive particles is more efficiently distributed on the electrode (line). Can be arranged. In addition, it is difficult for a part of the solder in the plurality of conductive particles to be disposed in the region (space) where the electrode is not formed, and the amount of solder in the conductive particle disposed in the region where the electrode is not formed is further increased. Can be 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.
 さらに、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、上記第2の接続対象部材の重量が加われば、接続部が形成される前に電極が形成されていない領域(スペース)に配置されていたはんだが第1の電極と第2の電極との間により一層集まりやすくなり、複数の導電性粒子におけるはんだを電極(ライン)上により一層効率的に配置することができることも、見出した。本発明では、導電フィルムではなく、導電ペーストを用いるという構成と、加圧を行わず、上記導電ペーストには、上記第2の接続対象部材の重量が加わるようにするという構成とを組み合わせて採用することには、本発明の効果をより一層高いレベルで得るために大きな意味がある。 Furthermore, in the step of arranging the second connection target member and the step of forming the connection portion, if the weight of the second connection target member is added to the conductive material without applying pressure, the connection portion is Solder arranged in a region (space) where no electrode is formed before it is formed is more likely to gather between the first electrode and the second electrode, and solder in a plurality of conductive particles can be It has also been found that it can be arranged more efficiently on the line). In the present invention, a configuration in which a conductive paste is used instead of a conductive film and a configuration in which the weight of the second connection target member is added to the conductive paste without applying pressure are used in combination. This has a great meaning in order to obtain the effects of the present invention at a higher level.
 なお、WO2008/023452A1では、はんだ粉を電極表面に押し流して効率よく移動させる観点からは、接着時に所定の圧力で加圧するとよいことが記載されており、加圧圧力は、はんだ領域をさらに確実に形成する観点では、例えば、0MPa以上、好ましくは1MPa以上とすることが記載されており、更に、接着テープに意図的に加える圧力が0MPaであっても、接着テープ上に配置された部材の自重により、接着テープに所定の圧力が加わってもよいことが記載されている。WO2008/023452A1では、接着テープに意図的に加える圧力が0MPaであってもよいことは記載されているが、0MPaを超える圧力を付与した場合と0MPaとした場合との効果の差異については、何ら記載されていない。また、WO2008/023452A1では、フィルム状ではなく、ペースト状の導電ペーストを用いることの重要性についても何ら認識されていない。 In addition, WO2008 / 023452A1 describes that it is preferable to pressurize with a predetermined pressure at the time of bonding from the viewpoint of efficiently moving the solder powder to the electrode surface, and the pressurizing pressure further ensures the solder area. For example, it is described that the pressure is set to 0 MPa or more, preferably 1 MPa or more. Further, even if the pressure intentionally applied to the adhesive tape is 0 MPa, the member disposed on the adhesive tape It is described that a predetermined pressure may be applied to the adhesive tape by its own weight. In WO2008 / 023452A1, it is described that the pressure applied intentionally to the adhesive tape may be 0 MPa, but there is no difference between the effect when the pressure exceeding 0 MPa is applied and when the pressure is set to 0 MPa. Not listed. In addition, WO2008 / 023452A1 recognizes nothing about the importance of using a paste-like conductive paste instead of a film.
 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、導電ペーストと比べて、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できず、はんだの凝集が阻害されやすい傾向がある。 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, compared with the conductive paste, the melt viscosity of the conductive film cannot be sufficiently lowered at the melting temperature of the solder, and the aggregation of the solder tends to be hindered.
 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、導電性粒子と、バインダーとを含む。本実施形態では、導電材料は、導電性粒子として、はんだ粒子を含む。本実施形態では、バインダーは、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を、熱硬化性成分と呼ぶ。 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 conductive particles and a binder. In the present embodiment, the conductive material includes solder particles as conductive particles. In the present embodiment, the binder includes a thermosetting compound and a thermosetting agent. The thermosetting compound and the thermosetting agent are referred to as thermosetting components.
 接続部4は、複数のはんだ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 solder particles are gathered and 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、複数のはんだ粒子が集まり、複数のはんだ粒子が溶融した後、はんだ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、はんだ粒子を用いることにより、導電部の外表面部分がニッケル、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。 As shown in FIG. 1, in the connection structure 1, a plurality of solder particles gather between the first electrode 2 a and the second electrode 3 a, and after the plurality of solder particles melt, After the electrode surface wets and spreads, it solidifies 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 solder particles, the solder portion 4A, the first electrode 2a, and the solder as compared with the case where the outer surface portion of the conductive portion is made of conductive particles such as nickel, gold or copper are used. 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.
 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.
 はんだ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。はんだ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 amount of solder particles used is reduced, the connection structure 1 can be easily obtained. If the amount of the solder particles used is increased, it becomes 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60%以上(より好ましくは70%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 60% or more (more preferably 70% 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、複数のはんだ粒子11Aとを含む導電材料11を配置する(第1の工程)。用いた導電材料は、熱硬化性成分11Bとして、熱硬化性化合物と熱硬化剤とを含む。 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 solder particles 11A is disposed on the surface of the first connection target member 2 (first Process). The used conductive material contains a thermosetting compound and a thermosetting agent as the thermosetting component 11B.
 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、はんだ粒子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。 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 conductive material 11 is disposed, the solder particles 11A are disposed 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、はんだ粒子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(熱硬化性化合物)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はんだ粒子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)。導電フィルムではなく、導電ペーストを用いた場合には、はんだ粒子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、はんだ粒子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、複数のはんだ粒子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。はんだ粒子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はんだ粒子11Aの移動が開始してから、第1の電極2aと第2の電極3aとの間にはんだ粒子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 to a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the solder particles 11A (third step). Preferably, the conductive material 11 is heated above the curing temperature of the thermosetting component 11B (thermosetting compound). At the time of this heating, the solder 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). When the conductive paste is used instead of the conductive film, the solder particles 11A are effectively collected between the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 3a. Also, the solder particles 11A are melted and joined together. 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 a plurality of solder particles 11A, and the cured part 4B is formed by thermosetting the thermosetting component 11B. If the solder particles 11A are sufficiently moved, the first electrode 2a and the second electrode are moved after the movement of the solder particles 11A not located between the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 3a starts. It is not necessary to keep the temperature constant until the movement of the solder particles 11A 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、はんだ粒子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、はんだ粒子11Aが第1の電極2aと第2の電極3a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, when the connection part 4 is formed, the solder particles 11A are effectively collected between the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 3a. In addition, if pressure is applied in at least one of the second step and the third step, the solder particles 11A tend to collect between the first electrode 2a and the second electrode 3a. The tendency to be inhibited becomes high.
 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の接続対象部材との電極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. Can be connected to the electrode of the second connection target member (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. Therefore, the force that makes the connection structure with alignment, which is the connection structure with the smallest area, works. Because. At this time, it is desirable that the conductive material is not cured, and that the viscosity of components other than the conductive particles of the conductive material is sufficiently low at that temperature and time.
 このようにして、図1に示す接続構造体1が得られる。なお、上記第2の工程と上記第3の工程とは連続して行われてもよい。また、上記第2の工程を行った後に、得られる第1の接続対象部材2と導電材料11と第2の接続対象部材3との積層体を、加熱部に移動させて、上記第3の工程を行ってもよい。上記加熱を行うために、加熱部材上に上記積層体を配置してもよく、加熱された空間内に上記積層体を配置してもよい。 In this way, the connection structure 1 shown in FIG. 1 is obtained. The second step and the third step may be performed continuously. Moreover, after performing the said 2nd process, the laminated body of the 1st connection object member 2, the electrically-conductive material 11, and the 2nd connection object member 3 which are obtained is moved to a heating part, and the said 3rd connection object is carried out. You may perform a process. In order to perform the heating, the laminate may be disposed on a heating member, or the laminate may be disposed in a heated space.
 上記第3の工程における上記加熱温度は、好ましくは140℃以上、より好ましくは160℃以上であり、好ましくは450℃以下、より好ましくは250℃以下、更に好ましくは200℃以下である。 The heating temperature in the third step is preferably 140 ° C. or higher, more preferably 160 ° C. or higher, preferably 450 ° C. or lower, more preferably 250 ° C. or lower, and still more preferably 200 ° C. or lower.
 上記第3の工程における加熱方法としては、はんだの融点以上及び熱硬化性化合物の硬化温度以上に、接続構造体全体を、リフロー炉を用いて又はオーブンを用いて加熱する方法や、接続構造体の接続部のみを局所的に加熱する方法が挙げられる。 As a heating method in the third step, a method of heating the entire connection structure using a reflow furnace or an oven above the melting point of the solder and the curing temperature of the thermosetting compound, or a connection structure The method of heating only the connection part of these is mentioned.
 上記第1,第2の接続対象部材は、特に限定されない。上記第1,第2の接続対象部材としては、具体的には、半導体チップ、半導体パッケージ、LEDチップ、LEDパッケージ、コンデンサ及びダイオード等の電子部品、並びに樹脂フィルム、プリント基板、フレキシブルプリント基板、フレキシブルフラットケーブル、リジッドフレキシブル基板、ガラスエポキシ基板及びガラス基板等の回路基板などの電子部品等が挙げられる。上記第1,第2の接続対象部材は、電子部品であることが好ましい。 The first and second connection target members are not particularly limited. Specifically as said 1st, 2nd connection object member, electronic components, such as a semiconductor chip, a semiconductor package, LED chip, LED package, a capacitor | condenser, a diode, and a resin film, a printed circuit board, a flexible printed circuit board, flexible Examples include electronic components such as flat cables, rigid flexible substrates, glass epoxy substrates, and circuit boards such as glass substrates. The first and second connection target members are preferably electronic components.
 上記第1の接続対象部材及び上記第2の接続対象部材の内の少なくとも一方が、樹脂フィルム、フレキシブルプリント基板、フレキシブルフラットケーブル又はリジッドフレキシブル基板であることが好ましい。上記第2の接続対象部材が、樹脂フィルム、フレキシブルプリント基板、フレキシブルフラットケーブル又はリジッドフレキシブル基板であることが好ましい。樹脂フィルム、フレキシブルプリント基板、フレキシブルフラットケーブル及びリジッドフレキシブル基板は、柔軟性が高く、比較的軽量であるという性質を有する。このような接続対象部材の接続に導電フィルムを用いた場合には、はんだが電極上に集まりにくい傾向がある。これに対して、導電ペーストを用いることで、樹脂フィルム、フレキシブルプリント基板、フレキシブルフラットケーブル又はリジッドフレキシブル基板を用いたとしても、はんだを電極上に効率的に集めることで、電極間の導通信頼性を充分に高めることができる。樹脂フィルム、フレキシブルプリント基板、フレキシブルフラットケーブル又はリジッドフレキシブル基板を用いる場合に、半導体チップなどの他の接続対象部材を用いた場合と比べて、加圧を行わないことによる電極間の導通信頼性の向上効果がより一層効果的に得られる。 It is preferable that at least one of the first connection target member and the second connection target member is a resin film, a flexible printed board, a flexible flat cable, or a rigid flexible board. The second connection target member is preferably a resin film, a flexible printed board, a flexible flat cable, or a rigid flexible board. Resin films, flexible printed boards, flexible flat cables, and rigid flexible boards have the property of being highly flexible and relatively lightweight. When a conductive film is used for connection of such a connection object member, there exists a tendency for a solder not to gather on an electrode. On the other hand, by using a conductive paste, even if a resin film, a flexible printed circuit board, a flexible flat cable, or a rigid flexible circuit board is used, the conductive reliability between the electrodes can be efficiently collected by collecting the solder on the electrodes. Can be sufficiently increased. When using a resin film, a flexible printed circuit board, a flexible flat cable, or a rigid flexible circuit board, the reliability of conduction between electrodes by not applying pressure compared to the case of using other connection target members such as a semiconductor chip. The improvement effect can be obtained more effectively.
 上記接続対象部材に設けられている電極としては、金電極、ニッケル電極、錫電極、アルミニウム電極、銅電極、モリブデン電極、銀電極、SUS電極、及びタングステン電極等の金属電極が挙げられる。上記接続対象部材がフレキシブルプリント基板である場合には、上記電極は金電極、ニッケル電極、錫電極、銀電極又は銅電極であることが好ましい。上記接続対象部材がガラス基板である場合には、上記電極はアルミニウム電極、銅電極、モリブデン電極、銀電極又はタングステン電極であることが好ましい。なお、上記電極がアルミニウム電極である場合には、アルミニウムのみで形成された電極であってもよく、金属酸化物層の表面にアルミニウム層が積層された電極であってもよい。上記金属酸化物層の材料としては、3価の金属元素がドープされた酸化インジウム及び3価の金属元素がドープされた酸化亜鉛等が挙げられる。上記3価の金属元素としては、Sn、Al及びGa等が挙げられる。 Examples of the electrode provided on the connection target member include metal electrodes such as a gold electrode, a nickel electrode, a tin electrode, an aluminum electrode, a copper electrode, a molybdenum electrode, a silver electrode, a SUS electrode, and a tungsten electrode. When the connection object member is a flexible printed board, the electrode is preferably a gold electrode, a nickel electrode, a tin electrode, a silver electrode, or a copper electrode. When the connection target member is a glass substrate, the electrode is preferably an aluminum electrode, a copper electrode, a molybdenum electrode, a silver electrode, or a tungsten electrode. In addition, when the said electrode is an aluminum electrode, the electrode formed only with aluminum may be sufficient and the electrode by which the aluminum layer was laminated | stacked on the surface of the metal oxide layer may be sufficient. Examples of the material for the metal oxide layer include indium oxide doped with a trivalent metal element and zinc oxide doped with a trivalent metal element. Examples of the trivalent metal element include Sn, Al, and Ga.
