Abstract

金属粒子と、炭素数1~20の直鎖状又は分枝状の1価脂肪族アルコールと、を含有し、金属粒子は、体積平均粒径が0.12~0.8μmであるサブマイクロ銅粒子を含む、接合用金属ペースト。

Description

接合用金属ペースト、接合体及びその製造方法、並びに半導体装置及びその製造方法
 本発明は、接合用金属ペースト、接合体及びその製造方法、並びに半導体装置及びその製造方法に関する。
 半導体装置を製造する際、半導体素子とリードフレーム等(支持部材)とを接合させるため、さまざまな接合材が用いられている。半導体装置の中でも、150℃以上の高温で動作させるパワー半導体、LSI等の接合には、接合材として高融点鉛はんだが用いられてきた。近年、半導体素子の高容量化及び省スペース化により動作温度が高融点鉛はんだの融点近くまで上昇しており、接続信頼性を確保することが難しくなってきている。一方で、RoHS規制強化に伴い、鉛を含有しない接合材が求められている。
 これまでにも、鉛はんだ以外の材料を用いた半導体素子の接合が検討されている。例えば、下記特許文献1には、銀ナノ粒子を低温焼結させ、焼結銀層を形成する技術が提案されている。このような焼結銀はパワーサイクルに対する接続信頼性が高いことが知られている(非特許文献1参照。)。
 さらに別の材料として、銅粒子を焼結させ、焼結銅層を形成する技術も提案されている。例えば、下記特許文献2には、半導体素子と電極とを接合するための接合材として、酸化第2銅粒子及び還元剤を含む接合用ペーストが開示されている。また、下記特許文献3には、銅ナノ粒子と、銅マイクロ粒子もしくは銅サブマイクロ粒子、あるいはそれら両方を含む接合材が開示されている。
 ところで、半導体素子と支持部材との間の残留熱応力が大きい場合には、半導体素子への熱ひずみによる特性変化、並びに、半導体素子、接合材及び支持部材へのクラック等のダメージが発生する。そのため、半導体素子と支持部材との間の残留熱応力は歩留まりの低下及び長期信頼性の低下の原因となり得る。一方、一般に、半導体素子と支持部材とを接合させる際の温度(接合温度)は低ければ低いほど、半導体素子と支持部材との間の残留熱応力を低減することできる。また、接合温度が低い場合には、製造にかかるエネルギーの低減が可能となる。そのため、半導体素子と支持部材との接合温度は低ければ低いほど好ましい。特に、250℃以下の接合温度であれば、支持部材としてガラスエポキシ基板のような有機基板を適用することが可能となり、ロジック、センサー、受動部品等への応用が可能となる。
 接合温度を低減する方法としては、はんだに低融点の合金を用いる方法(特許文献4参照。)、はんだの溶融後にはんだに異種金属を拡散し合金化させて融点を上昇させる方法(特許文献5参照。)等が報告されている。

 しかしながら、特許文献4の方法では、はんだの融点とデバイスの使用温度が近い場合には、使用温度ではんだが軟らかくなり、接続信頼性が低下する。また、接合工程以降の工程にはんだの融点以上で加熱する工程が含まれる場合には、加熱によりはんだが再溶融するため不良の原因となる。また、特許文献5の方法は、接合時に生成する金属間化合物が脆いため、充分な接合強度が得られず、サイクル信頼性に劣ること、及び、熱伝導率が低いことが課題となっている。
 本発明は、上記事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、250℃以下の低温で接合することができ、充分な接合強度を有する接合体を得ることができる接合用金属ペースト、該接合用金属ペーストの焼結体を備える接合体及びその製造方法、並びに、該接合用金属ペーストの焼結体を備える半導体装置及びその製造方法を提供することを目的とする。
 本発明者らは、従来知られていた、銅粒子の焼結現象を利用した焼結銅ダイボンド材に着目し検討を行った。従来の焼結銅ダイボンド材は、熱伝導性及びサイクル疲労耐性に優れると共に、安価である特長を有するものの、焼結銅ダイボンド材の接合には280℃以上の高温を必要としており、従来の焼結銅ダイボンド材を用いた場合、接合温度(焼結温度)を250℃以下とすることは困難であった。しかしながら、本発明者らは、鋭意検討の結果、銅粒子を含む接合用金属ペーストにおいて、特定の体積平均粒径を有する銅粒子及び特定のアルコールを用いることで、低温での接合が可能となり、充分な接合強度を有する接合体が得られることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
 すなわち、本発明の一側面に係る接合用金属ペーストは、金属粒子と、炭素数1~20の直鎖状又は分枝状の1価脂肪族アルコールと、を含有する。この接合用金属ペーストにおいて、金属粒子は、体積平均粒径が0.12~0.8μmであるサブマイクロ銅粒子を含む。この接合用金属ペーストによれば、250℃以下の低温で接合することができ、充分な接合強度の接合体を得ることができる。また、この接合用金属ペーストによれば、無加圧での接合(無加圧接合)が可能であり、無加圧接合であっても充分な接合強度を有する接合体を得ることができる。
 一態様において、上記1価脂肪族アルコールの含有量は、金属粒子100質量部に対して、0.3~1.8質量部であってよい。この態様では、接合温度を更に低減し、より充分な接合強度が得られるとともに、金属粒子が凝集することによる接合用金属ペーストの粘度の経時的な上昇、金属粒子の分離及び沈降を防止することができる。
 一態様において、上記金属粒子は、最大径が2~50μmであり、アスペクト比が3.0以上であるフレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子を更に含む。この態様において、サブマイクロ銅粒子の含有量は、金属粒子の全質量を基準として、30~90質量%であり、マイクロ銅粒子の含有量は、金属粒子の全質量を基準として、10~70質量%である。この態様では、接合用金属ペーストを焼結した際の体積収縮を充分に低減でき、接合用金属ペーストを焼結させて製造される接合体の接合強度を確保することが容易となり、接合用金属ペーストを半導体素子の接合に用いる場合は半導体装置がより良好なダイシェア強度及び接続信頼性を示す傾向にある。

 以下、本発明の実施形態について詳細に説明する。ただし、本発明は、以下の実施形態に限定されるものではない。
<接合用金属ペースト>
 本実施形態に係る接合用金属ペーストは、例えば、複数の部材同士を接合するために用いられる。この接合用金属ペーストは、少なくとも、金属粒子と、炭素数1~20の直鎖状又は分枝状の1価脂肪族アルコール(以下、場合により「1価脂肪族アルコール」と称す。)と、を含有する。この接合用金属ペーストにおいて、金属粒子は、体積平均粒径が0.12~0.8μmであるサブマイクロ銅粒子を少なくとも含む。
 本実施形態に係る接合用金属ペーストを用いる場合、250℃以下の低温で接合することができ、充分な接合強度の接合体を得ることができる。また、本実施形態に係る接合用金属ペーストによれば、無加圧であっても充分な接合強度が得られる。このように、本実施形態に係る接合用金属ペーストを用いる場合、加圧を伴う熱圧着プロセスが不要であること、及び、チップと基板等、熱膨張率差の異なる部材間に生じる熱応力を低減することができ、熱による接合体の歪みを低減できることから、例えば半導体装置等の接合体を製造する場合に生産安定性を一層高めることが可能となる。また、デバイスの信頼性を向上させることができるほか、ガラスエポキシ基板等の熱に弱い材料を含む場合にも適用が可能となる。
 上述のような効果は、金属粒子が表面処理剤によって処理されている場合に顕著となり得る。この理由は、明らかではないが、本発明者らは次のように推察している。すなわち、金属粒子が表面処理剤によって処理されている場合、1価脂肪族アルコールが表面処理剤と水素結合等の相互作用を及ぼし、銅粒子から表面処理剤が脱離し易くなると推察される。その結果、1価脂肪族アルコールを添加しない場合と比較して、より低い加熱処理温度で焼結体を得ることができるため、上記効果が得られると推察している。特に、本実施形態で用いる1価脂肪族アルコールは炭素数が1~20であり、直鎖状又は分枝状であるため、1価脂肪族アルコールが嵩高くなく、金属表面に密に吸着した表面処理剤の中に入っていきやすいと推察される。
 また、本実施形態に係る接合用金属ペーストは、接合工程の低エネルギー化にも寄与する。また、銅粒子は、銀粒子と比較して安価であるため、本実施形態に係る接合用金属ペーストはコストの点においても有利となり得る。
(1価脂肪族アルコール)
 1価脂肪族アルコールは、炭素数が1~20であり、直鎖状又は分枝状である。1価脂肪族アルコールの炭素数は、接合温度の低減効果に更に優れる観点から、18以下が好ましい。また、1価脂肪族アルコールの炭素数は、乾燥及び昇温過程で揮発して失われにくく、安定した性能が得られやすい観点から、2以上が好ましく、4以上がより好ましい。ただし、炭素数が9以上である場合、分枝が少ないことが好ましく、直鎖状であることがより好ましい。以上の観点から、1価脂肪族アルコールの炭素数は、2~20であってもよく、4~20であってもよく、9~20であってもよく、9~18であってもよい。
 1価脂肪族アルコールは、1級アルコール、2級アルコール又は3級アルコールのいずれであってもよい。炭素数が9以上である場合、1級又は2級アルコールであることが好ましく、1級アルコールであることがより好ましい。また、1価脂肪族アルコールは、1気圧25℃において、液体であってよく、固体であってもよい。ただし、1価脂肪族アルコールは、焼結時に揮発しやすい観点から、1気圧における沸点が300℃以下であることが好ましい。
 1価脂肪族アルコールは、飽和又は不飽和のいずれであってもよい。1価飽和脂肪族アルコールとしては、例えば、メタノール(CHO)、エタノール(CO)、1-プロパノール(CO)、2-プロパノール(CO)、1-ブタノール(C10O)、2-ブタノール(C10O)、2-メチル-1-プロパノール(C10O)、2-メチル-2-プロパノール(C10O)、ペンタノール(C12O)、ヘキサノール(C14O)、ヘプタノール(C16O)、オクタノール(C18O)、ノナノール(C20O)、デカノール(C1022O)、ウンデカノール(C1124O)、ドデカノール(C1226O)、トリデカノール(C1328O)、テトラデカノール(C1430O)(例えば、1-テトラデカノール(ミリスチルアルコール))、ペンタデカノール(C1532O)、1-ヘキサデカノール(セチルアルコール)(C1634O)、2-ヘキシルデカノール(C1634O)、イソオクタデカノール(C1838O)(例えば、16-メチル-1-ヘプタデカノール(イソステアリルアルコール))、及びイソエイコサノール(C2042O)が挙げられる。1価不飽和脂肪族アルコールとしては、例えば、(Z)-9-オクタデセノール(オレイルアルコール)(C1836O)が挙げられる。これらの1価脂肪族アルコールは、ハロゲン等の置換基を有していてもよい。
 1価脂肪族アルコールは、市販品として入手可能である。このような市販品としては、例えば、日産化学工業株式会社製の「ファインオキソコール180T」、「ファインオキソコール180」、「ファインオキソコール1600」及び「ファインオキソコール2000」(いずれも商品名)、花王株式会社製の「カルコール2098」及び「カルコール4098」(いずれも商品名)等が挙げられる。
 1価脂肪族アルコールは、その一部が水素結合等によって金属粒子表面に吸着していてもよい。また、1価脂肪族アルコールは、その一部がアルコキシドとして存在していてもよい。なお、本実施形態において1価脂肪族アルコールは分散媒としても機能し得る。
 1価脂肪族アルコールの含有量は、金属粒子100質量部に対して、0.3質量部以上であってよく、0.6質量部以上であってもよく、1質量部以上であってもよい。1価脂肪族アルコールの含有量が0.3質量部以上であれば、接合温度を更に低減でき、例えば、接合時の温度(到達最高温度)が225℃であっても30MPa以上のダイシェア強度が得られる傾向がある。また、1価脂肪族アルコールの含有量は、金属粒子100質量部に対して、1.8質量部以下であってよく、1.5質量部以下であってもよく、1.2質量部以下であってもよい。1価脂肪族アルコールの含有量が1.8質量部以下であると、金属粒子が凝集することによる接合用金属ペーストの粘度の経時的な上昇、並びに、金属粒子の分離及び沈降を防止できるとともに、より充分な接合強度が得られる。これらの観点から、1価脂肪族アルコールの含有量は、金属粒子100質量部に対して、0.3~1.8質量部であってよく、0.6~1.5質量部であってもよく、1~1.2質量部であってもよい。なお、上記金属粒子100質量部には、金属粒子の表面に吸着した表面処理剤の量は含まない。
(金属粒子)
 本実施形態に係る金属粒子は、サブマイクロ銅粒子を少なくとも含む。金属粒子は、サブマイクロ銅粒子以外の銅粒子、銅粒子以外のその他の金属粒子等を含んでいてもよい。サブマイクロ銅粒子以外の銅粒子としては、例えばマイクロ銅粒子が挙げられる。なお、本明細書において、サブマイクロ銅粒子とは、0.1μm以上1μm未満の粒子径を有する銅粒子を意味し、マイクロ銅粒子とは、1μm以上50μm未満の粒子径を有する銅粒子を意味する。本明細書では、便宜上、複数の金属粒子の集合を「金属粒子」と称することがある。サブマイクロ銅粒子、マイクロ銅粒子及びその他の金属粒子についても同様である。
[サブマイクロ銅粒子]
 サブマイクロ銅粒子は、不可避的に含まれる銅以外の金属を含んでいてもよいが、実質的に銅のみからなる粒子である。サブマイクロ銅粒子としては、例えば、粒径が0.12~0.8μmの銅粒子を含むものが挙げられる。
 サブマイクロ銅粒子は、粒径が0.12~0.8μmの銅粒子を10質量%以上含むことができる。接合用金属ペーストの焼結性の観点から、サブマイクロ銅粒子は、粒径が0.12~0.8μmの銅粒子を20質量%以上含むことができ、30質量%以上含むことができ、100質量%含むことができる。サブマイクロ銅粒子における粒径が0.12~0.8μmの銅粒子の含有割合が20質量%以上であると、銅粒子の分散性がより向上し、粘度の上昇、ペースト濃度の低下をより抑制することができる。
 銅粒子の粒径は、下記方法により求めることができる。銅粒子の粒径は、例えば、SEM像から算出することができる。銅粒子の粉末を、SEM用のカーボンテープ上にスパチュラで載せ、SEM用サンプルとする。このSEM用サンプルをSEM装置により5000倍で観察する。このSEM像の銅粒子に外接する四角形を画像処理ソフトにより作図し、その一辺をその粒子の粒径とする。
 サブマイクロ銅粒子の体積平均粒径は、0.12μm以上であってよく、0.8μm以下であってよい。すなわち、サブマイクロ銅粒子の体積平均粒径は、0.12~0.8μmであってよい。サブマイクロ銅粒子の体積平均粒径が0.12μm以上であれば、サブマイクロ銅粒子の合成コストの抑制、良好な分散性、表面処理剤の使用量の抑制といった効果が得られやすくなる。サブマイクロ銅粒子の体積平均粒径が0.8μm以下であれば、サブマイクロ銅粒子の焼結性に優れるという効果が得られやすくなる。より一層上記効果を奏する観点から、サブマイクロ銅粒子の体積平均粒径は、0.15μm以上、0.2μm以上又は0.3μm以上であってもよく、0.6μm以下、0.5μm以下又は0.45μm以下であってもよい。例えば、サブマイクロ銅粒子の体積平均粒径は、0.15~0.8μmであってもよく、0.15~0.6μmであってもよく、0.2~0.5μmであってもよく、0.3~0.45μmであってもよい。
 なお、本願明細書において体積平均粒径とは、50%体積平均粒径を意味する。銅粒子の体積平均粒径を求める場合、原料となる銅粒子、又は接合用金属ペーストから揮発成分を除去した乾燥銅粒子を、分散剤を用いて分散媒に分散させたものを光散乱法粒度分布測定装置(例えば、島津ナノ粒子径分布測定装置(SALD-7500nano、株式会社島津製作所製)で測定する方法等により求めることができる。光散乱法粒度分布測定装置を用いる場合、分散媒としては、ヘキサン、トルエン、α-テルピネオール等を用いることができる。
 サブマイクロ銅粒子の含有量は、金属粒子の全質量を基準として、30質量%以上、35質量%以上、40質量%以上又は45質量%であってよく、90質量%以下、85質量%以下又は80質量%以下であってもよい。例えば、サブマイクロ銅粒子の含有量は、金属粒子の全質量を基準として、30~90質量%であってもよく、35~90質量%であってもよく、40~85質量%以下であってもよく、45~80質量%以下であってもよい。サブマイクロ銅粒子の含有量が上記範囲内であれば、接合用金属ペーストを焼結させて製造される接合体の接合強度を確保することが容易となり、接合用金属ペーストを半導体素子の接合に用いる場合は半導体装置が良好なダイシェア強度及び接続信頼性を示す傾向にある。なお、上記含有量には表面処理剤の量は含まれない。また、金属粒子の全質量には、金属粒子の表面に吸着した表面処理剤の量は含まない。
 金属粒子がマイクロ銅粒子を含む場合、サブマイクロ銅粒子の含有量の下限値は、サブマイクロ銅粒子の質量及びマイクロ銅粒子の質量の合計を基準として、30質量%であることが好ましく、サブマイクロ銅粒子の含有量の上限値は、サブマイクロ銅粒子の質量及びマイクロ銅粒子の質量の合計を基準として、90質量%であることが好ましい。すなわち、サブマイクロ銅粒子の含有量は、サブマイクロ銅粒子の質量及びマイクロ銅粒子の質量の合計を基準として、30~90質量%であることが好ましい。サブマイクロ銅粒子の上記含有量が30質量%以上であれば、マイクロ銅粒子の間を充填することができ、接合用金属ペーストを焼結させて製造される接合体の接合強度を確保することが容易となり、接合用金属ペーストを半導体素子の接合に用いる場合は半導体装置が良好なダイシェア強度及び接続信頼性を示す傾向にある。サブマイクロ銅粒子の上記含有量が90質量%以下であれば、接合用金属ペーストを焼結した時の体積収縮を充分に抑制できるため、接合用金属ペーストを焼結させて製造される接合体の接合強度を確保することが容易となり、接合用金属ペーストを半導体素子の接合に用いる場合は半導体装置が良好なダイシェア強度及び接続信頼性を示す傾向にある。より一層上記効果を奏する観点から、サブマイクロ銅粒子の含有量は、サブマイクロ銅粒子の質量及びマイクロ銅粒子の質量の合計を基準として、35質量%以上、40質量%以上又は45質量%以上であってもよく、85質量%以下又は80質量%以下であってもよい。例えば、サブマイクロ銅粒子の含有量は、サブマイクロ銅粒子の質量及びマイクロ銅粒子の質量の合計を基準として、35~85質量%であってもよく、40~85質量%であってもよく、45~80質量%であってもよい。なお、上記含有量には表面処理剤の量は含まれない。また、金属粒子の全質量には、金属粒子の表面に吸着した表面処理剤の量は含まない。
 サブマイクロ銅粒子の形状は、特に限定されるものではない。サブマイクロ銅粒子の形状としては、例えば、球状、塊状、針状、フレーク状、略球状及びこれらの凝集体が挙げられる。分散性及び充填性の観点から、サブマイクロ銅粒子の形状は、球状、略球状又はフレーク状であってもよく、燃焼性、分散性、フレーク状のマイクロ粒子(例えば、フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子)との混合性等の観点から、球状又は略球状であってもよい。本明細書において、「フレーク状」とは、板状、鱗片状等の平板状の形状を包含する。
 サブマイクロ銅粒子は、分散性、充填性、及びフレーク状のマイクロ粒子(例えば、フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子)との混合性の観点から、アスペクト比が5.0以下であってもよく、3.0以下であってもよい。サブマイクロ銅粒子のアスペクト比の下限は、特に限定されない。サブマイクロ銅粒子のアスペクト比は、例えば、1.0以上であってよい。本明細書において、「アスペクト比」とは、粒子の長辺/厚さを示す。粒子の長辺及び厚さの測定は、例えば、粒子のSEM像から求めることができる。
 サブマイクロ銅粒子は、特定の表面処理剤で処理されていてもよい。上述したように、サブマイクロ銅粒子が表面処理剤で処理されている場合、本発明の効果が顕著となり得る。表面処理剤は、例えば、サブマイクロ銅粒子の表面に水素結合等によって吸着していてよく、サブマイクロ銅粒子と反応してサブマイクロ銅粒子の表面に結合していてもよい。すなわち、サブマイクロ銅粒子が特定の表面処理剤由来の化合物を有していてもよい。
 特定の表面処理剤としては、例えば、炭素数8以上の有機酸が挙げられる。炭素数8以上の有機酸は、炭素数8~16の有機酸であることが好ましい。このような有機酸としては、例えば、カプリル酸、メチルヘプタン酸、エチルヘキサン酸、プロピルペンタン酸、ペラルゴン酸、メチルオクタン酸、エチルヘプタン酸、プロピルヘキサン酸、カプリン酸、メチルノナン酸、エチルオクタン酸、プロピルヘプタン酸、ブチルヘキサン酸、ウンデカン酸、メチルデカン酸、エチルノナン酸、プロピルオクタン酸、ブチルヘプタン酸、ラウリン酸、メチルウンデカン酸、エチルデカン酸、プロピルノナン酸、ブチルオクタン酸、ペンチルヘプタン酸、トリデカン酸、メチルドデカン酸、エチルウンデカン酸、プロピルデカン酸、ブチルノナン酸、ペンチルオクタン酸、ミリスチン酸、メチルトリデカン酸、エチルドデカン酸、プロピルウンデカン酸、ブチルデカン酸、ペンチルノナン酸、ヘキシルオクタン酸、ペンタデカン酸、メチルテトラデカン酸、エチルトリデカン酸、プロピルドデカン酸、ブチルウンデカン酸、ペンチルデカン酸、ヘキシルノナン酸、パルミチン酸、メチルペンタデカン酸、エチルテトラデカン酸、プロピルトリデカン酸、ブチルドデカン酸、ペンチルウンデカン酸、ヘキシルデカン酸、ヘプチルノナン酸、メチルシクロヘキサンカルボン酸、エチルシクロヘキサンカルボン酸、プロピルシクロヘキサンカルボン酸、ブチルシクロヘキサンカルボン酸、ペンチルシクロヘキサンカルボン酸、ヘキシルシクロヘキサンカルボン酸、ヘプチルシクロヘキサンカルボン酸、オクチルシクロヘキサンカルボン酸、ノニルシクロヘキサンカルボン酸等の飽和脂肪酸;オクテン酸、ノネン酸、メチルノネン酸、デセン酸、ウンデセン酸、ドデセン酸、トリデセン酸、テトラデセン酸、ミリストレイン酸、ペンタデセン酸、ヘキサデセン酸、パルミトレイン酸、サビエン酸等の不飽和脂肪酸;テレフタル酸、ピロメリット酸、o-フェノキシ安息香酸、メチル安息香酸、エチル安息香酸、プロピル安息香酸、ブチル安息香酸、ペンチル安息香酸、ヘキシル安息香酸、ヘプチル安息香酸、オクチル安息香酸、ノニル安息香酸等の芳香族カルボン酸が挙げられる。有機酸は、1種を単独で使用してもよく、2種以上を組み合わせて使用してもよい。このような有機酸と上記サブマイクロ銅粒子とを組み合わせることで、サブマイクロ銅粒子の分散性と焼結時における有機酸の脱離性を両立できる傾向にある。また、本実施形態では、上記のような有機酸の焼結時の脱離性が向上する傾向がある。そのため、上記有機酸を用いる場合には本発明の効果が顕著となりうる。このような効果は、1価脂肪族アルコールが有機酸と相互作用することによるものであると推察される。上記表面処理剤の中でも、1価脂肪族アルコールと親和性を有する有機酸を用いる場合に本発明の効果が一層顕著となる。このような表面処理剤としては、例えば、炭素数10以上のカルボン酸(例えば、炭素数9以上のアルキル基を有する長鎖アルキルカルボン酸)が挙げられる。
 表面処理剤の処理量は、表面処理後のサブマイクロ銅粒子の全質量を基準として、0.07質量%以上、0.10質量%以上、0.20質量%以上、0.50質量%以上又は0.80質量%以上であってよく、2.10質量%以下、1.60質量%以下又は1.10質量%以下であってもよい。例えば、表面処理剤の処理量は、表面処理後のサブマイクロ銅粒子の全質量を基準として、0.07~2.10質量%であってよく、0.10~1.60質量%であってもよく、0.20~1.10質量%であってもよく、0.50~1.10質量%であってもよく、0.80~1.10質量%であってもよい。
 表面処理剤の処理量は、サブマイクロ銅粒子の表面に一分子層~三分子層付着する量であってもよい。この処理量は、以下の方法により測定される。大気中、700℃で2時間処理したアルミナ製るつぼ(例えば、アズワン製、型番:1-7745-07)に、表面処理されたサブマイクロ銅粒子をW1(g)量り取り、大気中700℃で1時間焼成する。その後、水素中、300℃で1時間処理し、るつぼ内の銅粒子の質量W2(g)を計測する。次いで、下記式に基づき、表面処理剤の処理量を算出する。
 表面処理剤の処理量(質量%)=(W1-W2)/W1×100
 サブマイクロ銅粒子の比表面積は、焼結性、粒子間のパッキング等の観点から、0.5~10m/gであってよく、1.0~8.0m/gであってもよく、1.2~6.5m/gであってもよい。サブマイクロ銅粒子の比表面積は、乾燥させたサブマイクロ銅粒子をBET比表面積測定法で測定することで算出できる。
 上記サブマイクロ銅粒子は良好な焼結性を有する。上記サブマイクロ銅粒子を用いることで、銅ナノ粒子を主に用いた接合材にみられる高価な合成コスト、良好でない分散性、焼結後の体積収縮量の低下等の課題を低減することもできる。
 本実施形態に係るサブマイクロ銅粒子としては、市販されているサブマイクロ銅粒子を含む材料を用いることができる。市販されているサブマイクロ銅粒子を含む材料としては、例えば、CH-0200(三井金属鉱業株式会社製、体積平均粒径0.36μm)、HT-14(三井金属鉱業株式会社製、体積平均粒径0.41μm)、CT-500(三井金属鉱業株式会社製、体積平均粒径0.72μm)、及び、Tn-Cu100(大陽日酸株式会社製、体積平均粒径0.12μm)が挙げられる。
[マイクロ銅粒子]
 マイクロ銅粒子は、不可避的に含まれる銅以外の金属を含んでいてもよいが、実質的に銅のみからなる粒子である。マイクロ銅粒子としては、例えば、粒径が2~50μmの銅粒子を含むものが挙げられる。
 マイクロ銅粒子は、粒径が2~50μmの銅粒子を50質量%以上含むことができる。接合体内での配向、補強効果及び接合ペーストの充填性の観点から、マイクロ銅粒子は、粒径が2~50μmの銅粒子を70質量%以上含むことができ、80質量%以上含むことができ、100質量%含むことができる。
 マイクロ銅粒子の体積平均粒径は、2μm以上であってよく、50μm以下であってよい。すなわち、マイクロ銅粒子の体積平均粒径は、2~50μmであってよい。マイクロ銅粒子の体積平均粒径が上記範囲内であれば、接合用金属ペーストを焼結した際の体積収縮を充分に低減でき、接合用金属ペーストを焼結させて製造される接合体の接合強度を確保することが容易となり、接合用金属ペーストを半導体素子の接合に用いる場合は半導体装置がより良好なダイシェア強度及び接続信頼性を示す傾向にある。より一層上記効果を奏する観点から、3μm以上であってもよく、20μm以下であってもよい。例えば、マイクロ銅粒子の体積平均粒径は、マイクロ銅粒子の体積平均粒径は、3~50μmであってもよく、3~20μmであってもよい。
 マイクロ銅粒子の含有量は、金属粒子の全質量を基準として、10質量%以上、15質量%以上又は20質量%以上であってよく、70質量%以下、50質量%以下、45質量%以下又は40質量%以下であってもよい。例えば、マイクロ銅粒子の含有量は、金属粒子の全質量を基準として、10~70質量%であってよく、10~50質量%であってもよく、15~45質量%であってもよく、20~40質量%であってもよい。マイクロ銅粒子の含有量が、上記範囲内であれば、接合用金属ペーストを焼結させて製造される接合体の接合強度を確保することが容易となり、接合用金属ペーストを半導体素子の接合に用いる場合は半導体装置がより良好なダイシェア強度及び接続信頼性を示す傾向にある。なお、上記含有量には表面処理剤の量は含まれない。また、金属粒子の全質量には、金属粒子の表面に吸着した表面処理剤の量は含まない。
 サブマイクロ銅粒子の含有量及びマイクロ銅粒子の含有量の合計は、金属粒子の全質量を基準として、80質量%以上(例えば80~100質量%)であってよい。サブマイクロ銅粒子の含有量及びマイクロ銅粒子の含有量の合計が上記範囲内であれば、接合用金属ペーストを焼結した際の体積収縮を充分に低減でき、接合用金属ペーストを焼結させて製造される接合体の接合強度を確保することが容易となる。接合用金属ペーストを半導体素子の接合に用いる場合は半導体装置が良好なダイシェア強度及び接続信頼性を示す傾向にある。より一層上記効果を奏するという観点から、サブマイクロ銅粒子の含有量及びマイクロ銅粒子の含有量の合計は、金属粒子の全質量を基準として、90質量%以上であってもよく、95質量%以上であってもよく、100質量%であってもよい。なお、上記含有量には表面処理剤の量は含まれない。また、金属粒子の全質量には、金属粒子の表面に吸着した表面処理剤の量は含まない。
 マイクロ銅粒子の形状は、アスペクト比が3.0以上のフレーク状が好ましい。フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子を用いることで、接合用金属ペースト内のマイクロ銅粒子を接合面に対して略平行に配向させることができる。これにより、接合用金属ペーストを焼結させたときの体積収縮を抑制でき、接合用金属ペーストを焼結させて製造される接合体の接合強度を確保することが容易となる。接合用金属ペーストを半導体素子の接合に用いる場合は半導体装置が良好なダイシェア強度及び接続信頼性を示す傾向にある。より一層上記効果を奏する観点から、フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子のアスペクト比は4.0以上が好ましく、6.0以上がより好ましい。フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子のアスペクト比の上限は、特に限定されない。フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子のアスペクト比は、例えば、50以下であってよい。また、フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子の最大径及び平均最大径は、2μm以上又は3μmであってよく、20μm以下であってよい。例えば、フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子の最大径及び平均最大径は、2~50μmであってよく、3~50μmであってもよく、3~20μmであってもよい。フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子の最大径及び平均最大径の測定は、例えば、粒子のSEM像から求めることができ、フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子の長径X及び長径の平均値Xavとして求められる。長径Xは、フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子の三次元形状において、フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子に外接する平行二平面のうち、この平行二平面間の距離が最大となるように選ばれる平行二平面の距離である。
 フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子の形状は、長径(最大径)X、中径Y(幅)、短径(厚さ)Tというパラメータで規定することもできる。中径Yは、長径Xを与える平行二平面に直行し、且つ、フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子に外接する平行二平面のうち、この平行二平面間の距離が最大となるように選ばれる平行二平面の距離である。短径Tは、長径Xを与える平行二平面及び中径Yを与える平行二平面に直行し、且つ、フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子に外接する平行二平面のうち、平行二平面間の距離が最大となるように選ばれる平行二平面の距離である。
 長径の平均値Xavは、1μm以上20.0μm以下であってもよく、1μm以上10μm以下であってもよく、3μm以上10μm以下であってもよい。Xavが上記範囲内であれば、接合用金属ペースト(接合用銅ペースト)を焼結させて製造される接合体において、接合用金属ペーストの焼結体を適切な厚みで形成しやすい。
 短径の平均値Tavに対する長径の平均値Xavの比(アスペクト比)であるXav/Tavは、4.0以上であってもよく、6.0以上であってもよく、10.0以上であってもよい。Xav/Tavが上記範囲内であれば、接合用金属ペースト内のフレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子が、接合面に対して略平行に配向しやすくなり、接合用金属ペーストを焼結させたときの体積収縮を抑制でき、接合用金属ペーストを焼結させて製造される接合体の接合強度を確保することが容易となる。接合用金属ペーストを半導体素子の接合に用いる場合は半導体装置のダイシェア強度及び接続信頼性を向上させやすくなる。
 中径の平均値Yavに対する長径の平均値Xavの比であるXav/Yavは、2.0以下であってもよく、1.7以下であってもよく、1・5以下であってもよい。Xav/Yavが上記範囲内であれば、フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子の形状がある程度の面積を有するフレーク状の粒子となり、接合用金属ペースト内のフレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子が接合面に対して略平行に配向しやすくなり、接合用金属ペーストを焼結させたときの体積収縮を抑制でき、接合用金属ペーストを焼結させて製造される接合体の接合強度を確保することが容易となる。接合用金属ペーストを半導体素子の接合に用いる場合は半導体装置のダイシェア強度及び接続信頼性を向上させやすくなる。Xav/Yavが2.0を超える場合、フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子の形状が細長い線状に近づくことを意味する。
 短径の平均値Tavに対する中径の平均値Yavの比であるYav/Tavは、2.5以上であってもよく、4.0以上であってもよく、8.0以上であってもよい。Yav/Tavが上記範囲内であれば、接合用銅ペースト内のフレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子が、接合面に対して略平行に配向しやすくなり、接合用銅ペーストを焼結させたときの体積収縮を抑制でき、接合用銅ペーストを焼結させて製造される接合体の接合強度を確保することが容易となる。接合用銅ペーストを半導体素子の接合に用いる場合は半導体装置のダイシェア強度及び接続信頼性を向上させやすくなる。
 フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子の長径X及び中径YをSEM像から算出する方法を例示する。フレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子の粉末を、SEM用のカーボンテープ上にスパチュラで載せ、SEM用サンプルとする。このSEM用サンプルをSEM装置により5000倍で観察する。このSEM像のフレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子に外接する長方形を画像処理ソフトにより作図し、長方形の長辺をその粒子の長径X、長方形の短辺をその粒子の中径Yとする。複数のSEM像を用いて、この測定を50個以上のフレーク状のマイクロ銅粒子に対して行い、長径の平均値Xav及び中径の平均値Yavを算出する。
 マイクロ銅粒子において、表面処理剤の処理の有無は特に限定されるものではない。分散安定性及び耐酸化性の観点から、マイクロ銅粒子は表面処理剤で処理されていてもよい。本実施形態では、マイクロ銅粒子が表面処理されている場合であっても、本発明の効果が顕著となり得る。表面処理剤は、接合時に除去されるものであってもよい。このような表面処理剤としては、例えば、パルミチン酸、ステアリン酸、アラキジン酸、オレイン酸等の脂肪族カルボン酸;テレフタル酸、ピロメリット酸、o-フェノキシ安息香酸等の芳香族カルボン酸;オクチルアミン、ドデシルアミン、ステアリルアミン等のアルキルアミン;ステアロニトリル、デカンニトリル等の脂肪族ニトリル;アルキルアルコキシシラン等のシランカップリング剤;ポリエチレングリコール、ポリビニルアルコール、ポリビニルピロリドン、シリコーンオリゴマー等の高分子処理材等が挙げられる。これらの中でも、炭素数10以上のカルボン酸が好ましい。表面処理剤は、1種を単独で使用してもよく、2種以上を組み合わせて使用してもよい。
 表面処理剤の処理量は、粒子表面に一分子層以上付着する量であってもよい。このような表面処理剤の処理量は、マイクロ銅粒子の比表面積、表面処理剤の分子量、及び表面処理剤の最小被覆面積により変化する。表面処理剤の処理量は、表面処理後のマイクロ銅粒子の全質量を基準として、0.001質量%以上であってよい。マイクロ銅粒子の比表面積、表面処理剤の分子量、及び表面処理剤の最小被覆面積については、上述した方法により算出することができる。
 上記サブマイクロ銅粒子とマイクロ銅粒子とを併用する場合、乾燥に伴う体積収縮及び焼結収縮が大きくなりにくく、接合用金属ペーストの焼結時に被着面より剥離しにくくなる。すなわち、サブマイクロ銅粒子とマイクロ銅粒子とを併用することで、接合用金属ペーストを焼結させたときの体積収縮が抑制され、接合体はより充分な接合強度を有することができる。上記サブマイクロ銅粒子とマイクロ銅粒子とを併用した接合用金属ペーストを半導体素子の接合に用いる場合は半導体装置がより良好なダイシェア強度及び接続信頼性を示すという効果が得られる。
 本実施形態に係るマイクロ銅粒子としては、市販されているマイクロ銅粒子を含む材料を用いることができる。市販されているマイクロ銅粒子を含む材料としては、例えば、MA-C025(三井金属鉱業株式会社製、体積平均粒径7.5μm、平均最大径4.1μm)、3L3(福田金属箔粉工業株式会社製、体積平均粒径8.0μm、平均最大径7.3μm)、2L3(福田金属箔粉工業株式会社製、体積平均粒径9.9μm、平均最大径9μm)、2L3N/A(福田金属箔粉工業株式会社製、体積平均粒径9.4μm、平均最大径9μm)、1110F(三井金属鉱業株式会社製、体積平均粒径3.8μm、平均最大径5μm)及びHWQ3.0μm(福田金属箔粉工業株式会社製、体積平均粒径3.0μm)が挙げられる。
[銅粒子以外のその他の金属粒子]
 銅粒子以外のその他の金属粒子としては、亜鉛及び銀からなる群より選択される少なくとも1種の金属粒子が挙げられる。このような金属粒子が混合された場合、被着体が金又は銀である場合に接合力が向上する。上記その他の金属粒子は、表面処理剤によって処理されていてもよい。上記その他の金属粒子の含有量は、より一層の接着性向上効果の観点から、金属粒子の全質量を基準として、0.01~10質量%が好ましく、0.05~5質量%がより好ましく、0.1~2質量%が更に好ましい。上記その他の金属粒子の体積平均粒径は、0.01~10μmであってよく、0.01~5μmであってもよく、0.05~3μmであってもよい。その他の金属粒子の形状は、特に限定されるものではない。なお、上記含有量には表面処理剤の量は含まれない。また、金属粒子の全質量には、金属粒子の表面に吸着した表面処理剤の量は含まない。
(金属粒子及び1価脂肪族アルコール以外の成分)
 接合用金属ペーストは、金属粒子及び1価脂肪族アルコール以外の成分を更に含有していてもよい。このような成分としては、例えば、上述した金属粒子の表面処理剤、溶剤成分(上記表面処理剤は除く)、添加剤等が挙げられる。
[表面処理剤]
 接合用金属ペーストが含有し得る表面処理剤の例は、上述のとおりであり、例えば、炭素数10以上のカルボン酸が挙げられる。表面処理剤は、水素結合等により金属粒子に吸着していてよく、その一部がペースト中(例えば溶剤成分中)に遊離又は分散していてもよい。表面処理剤の含有量は、金属粒子100質量部に対して、0.07質量部以上、0.10質量部以上又は0.20質量部以上であってよく、2.10質量部以下、1.60質量部以下又は1.10質量部以下であってもよい。例えば、表面処理剤の含有量は、金属粒子100質量部に対して、0.07~2.10質量部であってよく、0.10~1.60質量部であってもよく、0.20~1.10質量部であってもよい。なお、表面処理剤として上述した成分は、必ずしも金属粒子の表面処理を目的として含有されている必要はなく、表面処理以外の目的で(例えば、分散媒として)接合用金属ペーストに含有されていてもよい。
[溶剤成分]
 溶剤成分は分散媒として機能する。溶剤成分は特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、揮発性のものであってよい。揮発性の溶剤成分としては、例えば、上記1価脂肪族アルコール以外の1価アルコール、多価アルコール等のアルコール類、エーテル類、エステル類、酸アミド、脂肪族炭化水素、芳香族炭化水素等が挙げられる。具体的には、シクロヘキサノール、エチレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール、プロピレングリコール、ブチレングリコール、α-テルピネオール等のアルコール類;ジエチレングリコールジメチルエーテル、ジエチレングリコールジエチルエーテル、ジエチレングリコールジブチルエーテル、ジエチレングリコールブチルメチルエーテル、ジエチレングリコールイソプロピルメチルエーテル、トリエチレングリコールジメチルエーテル、トリエチレングリコールブチルメチルエーテル、プロピレングリコールジメチルエーテル、プロピレングリコールジエチルエーテル、プロピレングリコールジブチルエーテル、プロピレングリコールジプロピルエーテル、トリプロピレングリコールジメチルエーテル等のエーテル類;エチレングリコールエチルエーテルアセテート、エチレングリコールブチルエーテルアセテート、ジエチレングリコールエチルエーテルアセテート、ジエチレングリコールブチルエーテルアセテート、ジプロピレングリコールメチルエーテルアセテート(DPMA)、乳酸エチル、乳酸ブチル、γ-ブチロラクトン、炭酸プロピレン等のエステル類;N-メチル-2-ピロリドン、N,N-ジメチルアセトアミド、N,N-ジメチルホルムアミド等の酸アミド;シクロヘキサン、オクタン、ノナン、デカン、ウンデカン等の脂肪族炭化水素;ベンゼン、トルエン、キシレン等の芳香族炭化水素などが挙げられる。
 溶剤成分の含有量は、接合用金属ペーストの全質量を基準として、2質量%以上又は5質量%以上であってよく、50質量%以下、30質量%以下又は20質量%以下であってもよい。例えば、溶剤成分の含有量は、接合用金属ペーストの全質量を基準として、2~50質量%であってよく、5~30質量%であってもよく、5~20質量%であってもよい。また、溶剤成分の含有量は金属粒子の全質量を100質量部として、5~50質量部であってよい。溶剤成分の含有量が上記範囲内であれば、接合用金属ペーストをより適切な粘度に調整でき、また、銅粒子の焼結を阻害しにくい。
 溶剤成分は、300℃以上の沸点を有する溶剤成分を含むことが好ましい。300℃以上の沸点を有する溶剤成分を含むことで、焼結開始直前まで接合用金属ペーストに可塑性と密着性が付与され、無加圧での接合が容易になる。300℃以上の沸点を有する溶剤成分の沸点は、接合用金属ペーストの焼結時において、焼結及び緻密化を妨げず、接合温度に達した際に速やかに蒸発し除去される観点から、300~450℃であってもよく、305~400℃であってもよく、310~380℃であってもよい。
 300℃以上の沸点を有する溶剤成分としては、イソボルニルシクロヘキサノール(MTPH、日本テルペン化学株式会社製)、ステアリン酸ブチル、エキセパールBS(花王株式会社製)、ステアリン酸ステアリル、エキセパールSS(花王株式会社製)、ステアリン酸2-エチルヘキシル、エキセパールEH-S(花王株式会社製)、ステアリン酸イソトリデシル、エキセパールTD-S(花王株式会社製)、ヘプタデカン、オクタデカン、ノナデカン、エイコサン、ヘネイコサン、ドコサン、メチルヘプタデカン、トリデシルシクロヘキサン、テトラデシルシクロヘキサン、ペンタデシルシクロヘキサン、ヘキサデシルシクロヘキサン、ウンデシルベンゼン、ドデシルベンゼン、テトラデシルベンゼン、トリデシルベンゼン、ペンタデシルベンゼン、ヘキサデシルベンゼン、ヘプタデシルベンゼン、ノニルナフタレン、ジフェニルプロパン、オクタン酸オクチル、ミリスチン酸メチル、ミリスチン酸エチル、リノール酸メチル、ステアリン酸メチル、トリエチレングリコールビス(2-エチルヘキサン酸)、クエン酸トリブチル、セバシン酸ジブチル、メトキシフェネチルアルコール、ベンジルフェノール(C1312O)、ヘキサデカンニトリル、ヘプタデカンニトリル、安息香酸ベンジル、シンメチリン、アジピン酸ビス(2―エチルヘキシル)等が挙げられる。無加圧での接合が一層容易になる観点から、300℃以上の沸点を有する溶剤成分が、イソボルニルシクロヘキサノール、トリブチリン、ステアリン酸ブチル及びオクタン酸オクチルからなる群より選択される少なくとも1種を含むことが好ましい。
 300℃以上の沸点を有する溶剤成分の含有量は、接合用金属ペーストの全質量を基準として、2質量%以上、2.2質量%以上又は2.4質量%以上であってよく、50質量%以下、45質量%以下、40質量%以下、20質量%以下、10質量%以下又は5質量%以下であってもよい。例えば、溶剤成分の含有量は、接合用金属ペーストの全質量を基準として、2~50質量%であってよい。
[添加剤]
 添加剤としては、ノニオン系界面活性剤、フッ素系界面活性剤等の濡れ向上剤;シリコーン油等の消泡剤;無機イオン交換体等のイオントラップ剤などが挙げられる。添加剤の含有量は、本発明の効果を阻害しない範囲で適宜調整することもできる。
 上述した接合用金属ペーストの粘度は特に限定されず、印刷、塗布等の手法で成型する場合には、成型方法に適した粘度に調整してよい。接合用金属ペーストの25℃におけるCasson粘度は、0.05Pa・s以上又は0.06Pa・s以上であってよく、2.0Pa・s以下又は1.0Pa・s以下であってよい。例えば、接合用金属ペーストの25℃におけるCasson粘度は、0.05~2.0Pa・sであってよく、0.06~1.0Pa・sであってもよい。
 本実施形態に係る接合用金属ペーストは30℃未満で保管されることが好ましい。30℃以上で保管すると1価脂肪族アルコール及び場合により含有される溶剤成分が揮発しやすくなり、接合用金属ペーストの濃度が変わることがある。その結果、接合用金属ペーストを部材上に配置する場合に、所望の部分に配置しにくくなることがある。本実施形態の接合用金属ペーストは、冷凍(例えば-30℃)で保管してもよく、それ以下の温度で保管してもよい。ただし、本実施形態に係る接合用金属ペーストは室温(例えば10~30℃)で使用されることが好ましいため、-30℃未満で保管する場合、解凍に時間が掛かり、解凍のために加熱を要する等、プロセスコスト増加に繋がる。
 接合用金属ペーストは保管前後で体積平均粒径の変化が20%以内であることが好ましい。接合用金属ペーストを構成する銅粒子(例えばサブマイクロ銅粒子)が接合用金属ペースト内で凝集し二次粒子になると、体積平均粒径が大きくなる。体積平均粒径が大きくなると、焼結後にボイドが入りやすくなり、熱伝導率が低下する場合がある。また、ボイドが応力集中点となり亀裂を生じやすくなり、所望の性能(例えば温度サイクル試験及びパワーサイクル試験で評価される性能)が得られにくくなる。
<接合用金属ペーストの調製>
 接合用金属ペーストは、上述のサブマイクロ銅粒子と、1価脂肪族アルコールと、場合により含有されるマイクロ銅粒子、その他の金属粒子、添加剤及び溶剤成分とを混合して調製することができる。各成分の混合後に、撹拌処理を行ってもよい。接合用金属ペーストは、分級操作により分散液の最大粒径を調整してもよい。このとき、分散液の最大粒径は20μm以下とすることができ、10μm以下とすることもできる。上記サブマイクロ銅粒子等の金属粒子は、表面処理剤で処理されたものを用いてよい。
 サブマイクロ銅粒子及び1価脂肪族アルコール以外の成分(例えば、マイクロ銅粒子、その他の金属粒子、添加剤及び溶剤成分)を添加する場合、接合用金属ペーストは、サブマイクロ銅粒子と、1価脂肪族アルコールと、溶剤成分と、をあらかじめ混合した後、分散処理を行ってサブマイクロ銅粒子の分散液を調製し、得られた分散液にサブマイクロ銅粒子及び1価脂肪族アルコール以外の成分を混合することにより調製してもよい。このような手順とすることで、例えば、マイクロ銅粒子を用いる場合には、サブマイクロ銅粒子の分散性が向上してマイクロ銅粒子との混合性が良くなり、接合用金属ペーストの性能がより向上する。また、サブマイクロ銅粒子の分散液を分級操作によって凝集物を除去してもよい。
 撹拌処理は、撹拌機を用いて行うことができる。撹拌機としては、例えば、自転公転型攪拌装置、ライカイ機、ハイビスディスパーミックス、二軸混練機、三本ロールミル、プラネタリーミキサー、薄層せん断分散機等が挙げられる。
 分級操作は、例えば、ろ過、自然沈降、遠心分離等を用いて行うことができる。ろ過用のフィルタとしては、例えば、金属メッシュ、メタルフィルター、ナイロンメッシュ等が挙げられる。
 分散処理としては、例えば、薄層せん断分散機、ディスパライザー、ビーズミル、ハイビスディスパーミックス、超音波ホモジナイザー、ハイシアミキサー、狭ギャップ三本ロールミル、湿式超微粒化装置、超音速式ジェットミル、超高圧ホモジナイザー等が挙げられる。

<接合体及び半導体装置の製造方法>
 以下、本実施形態の接合用金属ペーストを用いた接合体及び半導体装置の製造方法について説明する。
 図3(図3(a)及び図3(b))は、接合体100の製造方法を説明するための模式断面図である。本実施形態に係る接合体100の製造方法は、第一の部材2、該第一の部材2の自重が働く方向側に、上記接合用金属ペースト10、及び第二の部材3がこの順に積層された積層体50を用意し(図3(a))、接合用金属ペースト10を、第一の部材2の自重を受けた状態、又は第一の部材2の自重及び0.01MPa以下の圧力を受けた状態で、250℃以下で焼結する工程を備える。これにより接合体100が得られる(図3(b))。第一の部材2の自重が働く方向とは、重力が働く方向ということもできる。
 上記積層体50は、例えば、第一の部材2又は第二の部材3の必要な部分に本実施形態の接合用金属ペースト10を設け、次いで接合用金属ペースト10上に接合する部材(第一の部材2又は第二の部材3)を配置することにより用意することができる。
 本実施形態の接合用金属ペースト10を、第一の部材2及び第二の部材3の必要な部分に設ける方法としては、接合用金属ペーストを堆積させられる方法であればよい。このような方法としては、例えば、スクリーン印刷、転写印刷、オフセット印刷、凸版印刷、凹版印刷、グラビア印刷、ステンシル印刷、ジェット印刷等の印刷による方法、ディスペンサ(例えば、ジェットディスペンサ、ニードルディスペンサ)、カンマコータ、スリットコータ、ダイコータ、グラビアコータ、スリットコート、バーコータ、アプリケータ、スプレーコータ、スピンコータ、ディップコータ等を用いる方法、ソフトリソグラフィによる方法、粒子堆積法、電着塗装による方法などが挙げられる。

 部材上に設けられた接合用金属ペースト10は、焼結時の流動及びボイドの発生を抑制する観点から、適宜乾燥させてもよい。乾燥時のガス雰囲気は大気中であってよく、窒素、希ガス等の無酸素雰囲気中であってもよく、水素、ギ酸等の還元雰囲気中であってもよい。乾燥方法は、常温放置(例えば10~30℃)による乾燥であってよく、加熱乾燥であってもよく、減圧乾燥であってもよい。加熱乾燥又は減圧乾燥には、例えば、ホットプレート、温風乾燥機、温風加熱炉、窒素乾燥機、赤外線乾燥機、赤外線加熱炉、遠赤外線加熱炉、マイクロ波加熱装置、レーザー加熱装置、電磁加熱装置、ヒーター加熱装置、蒸気加熱炉、熱板プレス装置等を用いることができる。乾燥の温度及び時間は、使用した揮発成分(例えば、1価脂肪族アルコール及び溶剤成分)の種類及び量に合わせて適宜調整してもよい。乾燥条件(乾燥の温度及び時間)は、例えば、50~180℃で1~120分間乾燥させる条件であってよい。
 一方の部材を他方の部材上に配置する方法(例えば、接合用金属ペースト10が設けられた第二の部材3上に第一の部材2を配置する方法)としては、例えば、チップマウンター、フリップチップボンダー、カーボン製又はセラミックス製の位置決め冶具等を用いる方法が挙げられる。
 積層体50を加熱処理することで、接合用金属ペースト10の焼結を行う。これにより焼結体1が得られる。加熱処理には、例えば、ホットプレート、温風乾燥機、温風加熱炉、窒素乾燥機、赤外線乾燥機、赤外線加熱炉、遠赤外線加熱炉、マイクロ波加熱装置、レーザー加熱装置、電磁加熱装置、ヒーター加熱装置、蒸気加熱炉等を用いることができる。
 焼結時のガス雰囲気は、焼結体、部材(第一の部材2及び第二の部材3)の酸化抑制の観点から、無酸素雰囲気であってもよい。焼結時のガス雰囲気は、接合用金属ペースト中の銅粒子の表面酸化物を除去するという観点から、還元雰囲気であってもよい。無酸素雰囲気としては、例えば、窒素、希ガス等の無酸素ガス雰囲気、又は真空が挙げられる。還元雰囲気としては、例えば、純水素ガス雰囲気、フォーミングガスに代表される水素及び窒素の混合ガス雰囲気、ギ酸ガスを含む窒素雰囲気、水素及び希ガスの混合ガス雰囲気、ギ酸ガスを含む希ガス雰囲気等が挙げられる。
  加熱処理時の温度(到達最高温度)は、部材(第一の部材2及び第二の部材3)への熱ダメージを低減できる観点及び歩留まりを向上させる観点から、170℃以上、190℃以上又は200℃以上であってよく、250℃以下、250℃未満、225℃以下又は225℃未満であってよい。例えば、到達最高温度は、170~250℃であってもよく、170℃以上250℃未満であってもよく、190~225℃であってもよく、190℃以上225℃未満であってもよく、200~225℃であってもよく、200℃以上225℃未満であってもよい。本実施形態では、上記接合用金属ペースト10を用いるため、到達最高温度が250℃以下であっても、充分な接合強度が得られる。到達最高温度が、200℃以上であれば、到達最高温度保持時間が60分以下において焼結が充分に進行する傾向にある。溶剤成分を含む場合、到達最高温度は,溶剤成分の1気圧における沸点より低い温度であってもよい。この場合でも溶剤成分の蒸気圧により溶剤成分を揮発させて除去することができる。なお、到達最高温度が170℃以上200℃未満であっても、到達最高温度保持時間を60分超120分以下とすることで、焼結が充分に進行する傾向にある。本実施形態では、加熱処理時の温度(到達最高温度)は250℃以下であるが、温度サイクル試験、パワーサイクル試験等の信頼性試験における信頼性を向上させる目的で、280℃以上400℃以下の条件で加熱処理をすることもできる。
 到達最高温度保持時間は、揮発成分(例えば、1価脂肪族アルコール及び溶剤成分)を全て揮発させ、また、歩留まりを向上させる観点から、1分間以上であってよく、120分間以下、60分間以下、40分間未満又は30分間未満であってよい。すなわち、到達最高温度保持時間は、1~120分間であってよく、1~60分間であってもよく、1分間以上40分間未満であってもよく、1分間以上30分間未満であってもよい。
 本実施形態の接合用金属ペースト10を用いることにより、積層体50を焼結する際、無加圧での接合を行う場合であっても、接合体は充分な接合強度を有することができる。すなわち、接合用金属ペースト10に積層した第一の部材2による自重のみ、又は第一の部材2の自重に加え、0.01MPa以下、好ましくは0.005MPa以下の圧力を受けた状態で積層体50を焼結する場合であっても、充分な接合強度を得ることができる。焼結時に受ける圧力が上記範囲内であれば、特別な加圧装置が不要なため歩留まりを損なうこと無く、ボイドの低減、ダイシェア強度及び接続信頼性をより一層向上させることができる。接合用金属ペースト10が0.01MPa以下の圧力を受ける方法としては、例えば、鉛直方向上側に配置される部材(例えば第一の部材2)上に重りを載せる方法等が挙げられる。
 本実施形態に係る半導体装置は、上述した接合体100の製造方法と同様にして製造することができる。すなわち、半導体装置の製造方法は、第一の部材及び第二の部材の少なくとも一方に半導体素子を用い、第一の部材、該第一の部材の自重が働く方向側に、上記接合用金属ペースト、及び第二の部材がこの順に積層された積層体を用意し、接合用金属ペーストを、第一の部材の自重を受けた状態、又は第一の部材の自重及び0.01MPa以下の圧力を受けた状態で、250℃以下で焼結する工程を備える。例えば、図4(図4(a)~図4(c))に示すように、リードフレーム15a上に接合用金属ペースト20を設け、半導体素子18を配置して積層体60を得た後(図4(a))、この積層体60を加熱し、接合用金属ペースト20を焼結させることにより接合体105を得る(図4(b))。次いで、得られた接合体105におけるリードフレーム15bと半導体素子18とをワイヤ16によって接続し、封止樹脂によりこれらを封止する。以上の工程により半導体装置110が得られる(図4(c))。得られる半導体装置110は、無加圧での接合を行った場合であっても、充分なダイシェア強度及び接続信頼性を有することができる。本実施形態の半導体装置は、充分な接合力を有し、熱伝導率及び融点が高い銅を含む接合用金属ペーストの焼結体を備えることにより、充分なダイシェア強度を有し、接続信頼性に優れるとともに、パワーサイクル耐性にも優れたものになり得る。
 以上、本実施形態の接合用金属ペーストを用いて製造される接合体及び半導体装置の一例を説明したが、本実施形態の接合用金属ペーストを用いて製造される接合体及び半導体装置は上記実施形態に限られない。本実施形態の接合用金属ペーストを用いて製造される接合体は、例えば、図5及び図7に示す接合体であってもよい。
 図5に示す接合体120は、第一の部材2と、第二の部材3と、第三の部材4と、第四の部材5と、第一の部材2と第二の部材3とを接合する上記接合用金属ペーストの焼結体1aと、第一の部材2と第三の部材4とを接合する上記接合用金属ペーストの焼結体1bと、第三の部材4と第四の部材5とを接合する上記接合用金属ペーストの焼結体1cと、を備える。
 このような接合体120は、例えば、図6(図6(a)及び図6(b))に示すように、第三の部材4、該第三の部材4の自重が働く方向側に、第二の接合用金属ペースト10b、第一の部材2、第一の接合用金属ペースト10a、及び第二の部材3がこの順に積層された積層部分と、第三の部材4、該第三の部材4の自重が働く方向側に、第三の接合用金属ペースト10c、及び第四の部材5がこの順に積層された積層部分とを有する積層体70を用意し(図6(a))、上記接合体100の製造方法と同様にして、第一の接合用金属ペースト10a、第二の接合用金属ペースト10b及び第三の接合用金属ペースト10cを焼結する工程を備える方法で得ることができる(図6(b))。上記方法において、第一の接合用金属ペースト10a、第二の接合用金属ペースト10b及び第三の接合用金属ペースト10cは本実施形態に係る接合用金属ペーストであり、第一の接合用金属ペースト10aが焼結することにより焼結体1aが得られ、第二の接合用金属ペースト10bが焼結することにより焼結体1bが得られ、第三の接合用金属ペースト10cが焼結することにより焼結体1cが得られる。
 また、接合体120は、例えば、上記接合体100を得た後、第三の部材4、該第三の部材4の自重が働く方向側に、第二の接合用金属ペースト10b、及び第一の部材2がこの順に積層された積層部分と、第三の部材4、該第三の部材4の自重が働く方向側に、第三の接合用金属ペースト10c、及び第四の部材5がこの順に積層された積層部分とを形成し、上記接合体100の製造方法と同様にして、第二の接合用金属ペースト10b及び第三の接合用金属ペースト10cを焼結する工程を備える方法で得ることもできる。
 図7に示す接合体130は、第一の部材2と、第二の部材3と、第三の部材4と、第四の部材5と、第五の部材6と、第一の部材2と第二の部材3とを接合する上記接合用金属ペーストの焼結体1aと、第三の部材4と第四の部材5とを接合する上記接合用金属ペーストの焼結体1cと、第一の部材2と第五の部材6とを接合する上記接合用金属ペーストの焼結体1dと、第三の部材4と第五の部材6とを接合する上記接合用金属ペーストの焼結体1eと、を備える。
 このような接合体130は、例えば、図8(図8(a)及び図8(b))に示すように、第三の部材4、該第三の部材4の自重が働く方向側に、第五の接合用金属ペースト10e、第五の部材6、第四の接合用金属ペースト10d、第一の部材2、第一の接合用金属ペースト10a、及び第二の部材3がこの順に積層された積層部分と、第三の部材4、該第三の部材4の自重が働く方向側に、第三の接合用金属ペースト10c、及び第四の部材5がこの順に積層された積層部分とを有する積層体80を用意し(図8(a))、上記接合体100の製造方法と同様にして、第一の接合用金属ペースト10a、第三の接合用金属ペースト10c、第四の接合用金属ペースト10d及び第五の接合用金属ペースト10eを焼結する工程を備える方法で得ることができる(図8(b))。上記方法において、第一の接合用金属ペースト10a、第三の接合用金属ペースト10c、第四の接合用金属ペースト10d及び第五の接合用金属ペースト10eは本実施形態に係る接合用金属ペーストであり、第一の接合用金属ペースト10aが焼結することにより焼結体1aが得られ、第三の接合用金属ペースト10cが焼結することにより焼結体1cが得られ、第四の接合用金属ペースト10dが焼結することにより焼結体1dが得られ、第五の接合用金属ペースト10eが焼結することにより焼結体1eが得られる。

 また、接合体130は、上記接合体100を得た後、第三の部材4、該第三の部材4の自重が働く方向側に、第五の接合用金属ペースト10e、第五の部材6、第四の接合用金属ペースト10d、及び第一の部材2がこの順に積層された積層部分と、第三の部材4、該第三の部材4の自重が働く方向側に、第三の接合用金属ペースト10c、及び第四の部材5がこの順に積層された積層部分とを形成し、上記接合体100の製造方法と同様にして、第三の接合用金属ペースト10c、第四の接合用金属ペースト10d及び第五の接合用金属ペースト10eを焼結する工程を備える方法で得ることもできる。
 上記変形例において、第三の部材4、第四の部材5及び第五の部材6の例としては、第二の部材3の例と同一である。また、第三の部材4、第四の部材5及び第五の部材6の接合用金属ペーストの焼結体と接する面は金属を含んでいていてもよい。含みうる金属の例は、第一の部材2及び第二の部材3が接合用金属ペーストの焼結体と接する面に含みうる金属の例と同一である。また、上記変形例において用いる第一の接合用金属ペースト10a、第二の接合用金属ペースト10b、第三の接合用金属ペースト10c、第四の接合用金属ペースト10d、第五の接合用金属ペースト10eは、それぞれ同一であっても異なっていてもよい。

<接合体の製造>
 接合用金属ペースト1を用いて、以下の方法に従って実施例1の接合体を製造した。
 まず、19mm×25mmの電解ニッケルめっきされた銅板(総厚:3mm、めっき厚:3~5μm)上に、3mm×3mm正方形の開口を3行3列有するステンレス製のメタルマスク(厚さ:100μm)を載せ、メタルスキージを用いたステンシル印刷により接合用金属ペースト1を銅板上に塗布した。次いで、3mm×3mmのシリコンチップ(厚さ:400μm)に対して、チタン及びニッケルがこの順番でスパッタ処理されたシリコンチップを用意し、塗布した接合用金属ペースト上に、ニッケルが接合用金属ペーストと接するように該シリコンチップを載せた。シリコンチップは、ピンセットで軽く押さえることで接合用金属ペーストに密着させた。得られた積層体をチューブ炉(株式会社エイブイシー製)にセットし、チューブ炉内にアルゴンガスを3L/minで流してチューブ炉内の空気をアルゴンガスに置換した。その後、チューブ炉内に水素ガスを500ml/minで流しながら、30分間かけてチューブ炉の温度を200℃まで昇温した。昇温後、到達最高温度200℃(電解ニッケルめっきされた銅板を測定)、到達最高温度保持時間60分間の条件で焼結処理して、ニッケルめっきされた銅板と、ニッケルがスパッタ処理されたシリコンチップとを接合した接合体を得た。焼結後、アルゴンガスの流入速度を0.3L/minにかえて冷却し、50℃以下で接合体を空気中に取り出した。以上の操作により、加圧を行うことなく接合用金属ペースト1を焼結させて実施例1の接合体を得た。
