Description

金属充填微細構造体の製造方法Manufacturing method of metal-filled microstructure
 本発明は、バルブ金属部材を用いた金属充填微細構造体の製造方法に関し、特に、搬送性に優れ、かつ絶縁性能化が良好な金属充填微細構造体の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a metal-filled microstructure using a valve metal member, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a metal-filled microstructure having excellent transportability and good insulation performance.
 絶縁性基材に設けられた複数の貫通孔に金属等の導電性物質が充填されてなる構造体は、近年ナノテクノロジーでも注目されている分野のひとつであり、例えば、異方導電性部材としての用途が期待されている。
 異方導電性部材は、半導体素子等の電子部品と回路基板との間に挿入し、加圧するだけで電子部品と回路基板間の電気的接続が得られるため、半導体素子等の電子部品等の電気的接続部材、及び機能検査を行う際の検査用コネクタ等として広く使用されている。
 特に、半導体素子等の電子部品は、ダウンサイジング化が顕著である。従来のワイヤーボンディングのような配線基板を直接接続する方式、フリップチップボンディング、及びサーモコンプレッションボンディング等では、電子部品の電気的な接続の安定性を十分に保証することができないため、電子接続部材として異方導電性部材が注目されている。
A structure in which a plurality of through holes provided in an insulating base material are filled with a conductive substance such as metal is one of the fields that have been attracting attention in nanotechnology in recent years. For example, as an anisotropic conductive member. Is expected to be used.
Since the anisotropic conductive member can be electrically connected between the electronic component and the circuit board simply by inserting it between the electronic component such as a semiconductor element and the circuit board and pressurizing it, the electronic component such as the semiconductor element can be used. It is widely used as an electrical connection member and an inspection connector for performing functional inspections.
In particular, electronic components such as semiconductor elements are significantly downsized. As a method of directly connecting wiring boards such as conventional wire bonding, flip-chip bonding, thermocompression bonding, etc., the stability of electrical connection of electronic components cannot be sufficiently guaranteed, and therefore, as an electronic connection member. An anisotropic conductive member is attracting attention.

 金属充填微細構造体に関し、細孔(貫通孔)を有する酸化膜は絶縁抵抗が変動した。絶縁抵抗の変動について調べると保管場所、及び保管時期により影響を受けていたことが判明した。特別な温度調節を行わない倉庫内でも寒期は、絶縁抵抗が良好であったり、温度調節を実施している建屋内でも絶縁抵抗が不定期に悪化する等の挙動が見られた。
 鋭意検討した結果、保管中の温度ではなく、細孔(貫通孔)を有する酸化膜中の水分が影響するのではないかと考え、保管条件のうち特に、湿度について絶縁性能との関係を調べたところ、ある湿度の範囲で保持することにより、安定した絶縁抵抗が得られることがわかり本発明に至った。以下、金属充填微細構造体の製造方法について具体的に説明する。
Regarding the metal-filled microstructure, the insulating resistance of the oxide film having pores (through holes) fluctuated. Examining the fluctuation of insulation resistance, it was found that it was affected by the storage location and storage time. Even in a warehouse where no special temperature control was performed, the insulation resistance was good during the cold season, and even in the building where the temperature was controlled, the insulation resistance deteriorated irregularly.
As a result of diligent studies, we thought that the water content in the oxide film with pores (through holes) might have an effect, not the temperature during storage, and investigated the relationship between the humidity and the insulation performance, especially among the storage conditions. However, it has been found that stable insulation resistance can be obtained by holding the film in a certain humidity range, which led to the present invention. Hereinafter, a method for manufacturing a metal-filled microstructure will be specifically described.

 金属充填微細構造体は、バルブ金属部材の表面に陽極酸化処理を施して得られるものである。金属充填微細構造体は、バルブ金属の陽極酸化膜からなる絶縁性基材を有するものである。バルブ金属はアルミニウム等であるが、アルミニウムに特に限定されるものではないが、絶縁性基材として、アルミニウムの陽極酸化膜を例に説明する。このため、以下の説明では、バルブ金属部材としてアルミニウム基板を例にして説明する。
 図1に示すように、バルブ金属部材11として、アルミニウム基板を用意する。
 次に、図2に示すように、バルブ金属部材11の表面11aの外縁11bにだけ、マスク12を形成する。マスク12は、電気的に絶縁なものであれば、特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、半導体素子の形成に用いられる公知のレジスト膜を用いることができる。マスク12は、例えば、バルブ金属部材11の表面11a全面にレジスト膜を形成した後、フォトリソグラフィ法を用いて、バルブ金属部材11の表面11aの外縁11b以外のレジスト膜を除去し、外縁11bにだけマスク12を形成する。これ以外に、マスク12として、例えば、レジストペンを用いて、バルブ金属部材11の表面11aの外縁11bにだけレジスト膜を形成してもよい。更には、耐酸性を有する粘着性樹脂テープをバルブ金属部材11の表面11aの外縁11bに貼り付けてマスク12としてもよい。
 バルブ金属部材11の表面11aのうち、マスク12で囲まれた領域11cが陽極酸化膜16(図5参照)の形成領域である。
The metal-filled microstructure is obtained by subjecting the surface of the valve metal member to anodizing. The metal-filled microstructure has an insulating substrate made of an anodized film of valve metal. The valve metal is aluminum or the like, but the valve metal is not particularly limited to aluminum, but an anodic oxide film of aluminum will be described as an example as an insulating base material. Therefore, in the following description, an aluminum substrate will be described as an example of the valve metal member.
As shown in FIG. 1, an aluminum substrate is prepared as the valve metal member 11.
Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the mask 12 is formed only on the outer edge 11b of the surface 11a of the valve metal member 11. The mask 12 is not particularly limited as long as it is electrically insulating, and for example, a known resist film used for forming a semiconductor element can be used. For the mask 12, for example, after forming a resist film on the entire surface 11a of the valve metal member 11, a resist film other than the outer edge 11b of the surface 11a of the valve metal member 11 is removed by a photolithography method, and the outer edge 11b is formed. Only the mask 12 is formed. Alternatively, as the mask 12, for example, a resist pen may be used to form a resist film only on the outer edge 11b of the surface 11a of the valve metal member 11. Further, an acid-resistant adhesive resin tape may be attached to the outer edge 11b of the surface 11a of the valve metal member 11 to form the mask 12.
Of the surface 11a of the valve metal member 11, the region 11c surrounded by the mask 12 is the region where the anodic oxide film 16 (see FIG. 5) is formed.
 次に、バルブ金属部材11を電極とした陽極酸化処理を実施し、バルブ金属部材11のうち、マスク12で囲まれた領域11cに陽極酸化膜に形成する陽極酸化膜形成工程を行う。なお、陽極酸化膜16(図5参照)は絶縁性基材である。
 陽極酸化膜形成工程では、バルブ金属部材11を陽極の電極として、陽極酸化処理を実施する。これにより、バルブ金属部材11が陽極酸化されて、図3に示すようにバルブ金属部材11の領域11cに陽極酸化膜11dが形成される。陽極酸化処理において、例えば、バルブ金属部材11の裏面側から電流を印加してもよく、外縁11b側から電流を印加してもよい。
Next, an anodic oxidation treatment is carried out using the valve metal member 11 as an electrode, and an anodic oxide film forming step of forming the anodic oxide film on the region 11c surrounded by the mask 12 is performed in the valve metal member 11. The anodic oxide film 16 (see FIG. 5) is an insulating base material.
In the anodic oxide film forming step, the anodic oxidation treatment is carried out using the valve metal member 11 as an anode electrode. As a result, the valve metal member 11 is anodized, and an anodic oxide film 11d is formed in the region 11c of the valve metal member 11 as shown in FIG. In the anodizing treatment, for example, a current may be applied from the back surface side of the valve metal member 11, or a current may be applied from the outer edge 11b side.
 陽極酸化処理では、上述のようにバルブ金属部材11を電極として用いており、バルブ金属部材11の領域11c(図3参照)が陽極酸化膜11dの形成領域となり、マスク12の下のバルブ金属部材11(図2参照)が、外縁15b(図4参照)であり、フレーム部15d(図4参照)になる。
 上述の領域11cに陽極酸化膜11dが形成されるが、マスク12下のバルブ金属部材11は陽極酸化されない。このように、バルブ金属部材11が全て陽極酸化膜11dにならず、陽極酸化処理後でもバルブ金属部材15のままの領域がある。これにより、バルブ金属部材15の外縁15bに、バルブ金属部材15で構成された、バルブ金属部材15のフレーム部15dが配置される。フレーム部15dより囲まれる領域15cに陽極酸化膜16(図4参照)が形成される。
 なお、バルブ金属部材11がアルミニウムで構成されているため、酸化膜として、陽極酸化膜16が形成され、陽極酸化膜16はAl膜で構成される。
In the anodizing treatment, the valve metal member 11 is used as an electrode as described above, and the region 11c (see FIG. 3) of the valve metal member 11 becomes the forming region of the anodic oxide film 11d, and the valve metal member under the mask 12. Reference numeral 11 (see FIG. 2) is an outer edge 15b (see FIG. 4) and a frame portion 15d (see FIG. 4).
The anodic oxide film 11d is formed in the above-mentioned region 11c, but the valve metal member 11 under the mask 12 is not anodized. As described above, all the valve metal members 11 do not become the anodic oxide film 11d, and there is a region where the valve metal member 15 remains even after the anodizing treatment. As a result, the frame portion 15d of the valve metal member 15 composed of the valve metal member 15 is arranged on the outer edge 15b of the valve metal member 15. An anodic oxide film 16 (see FIG. 4) is formed in the region 15c surrounded by the frame portion 15d.
Since the valve metal member 11 is made of aluminum, an anodic oxide film 16 is formed as an oxide film, and the anodic oxide film 16 is made of an Al 2 O 3 film.
 陽極酸化膜11dは形成した時点で、複数のマイクロポアが存在する。しかしながら、複数のマイクロポアのうち、厚み方向Dtに貫通していないマイクロポアもある。また、マイクロポアの底部にはバリア層(図示せず)が存在する。このため、図3に示す陽極酸化膜11dに対して、バリア層を除去して、図4に示すように、陽極酸化膜16に、厚み方向Dtに延在する貫通孔17を複数形成する。 When the anodic oxide film 11d is formed, there are a plurality of micropores. However, among the plurality of micropores, some micropores do not penetrate in the thickness direction Dt. In addition, there is a barrier layer (not shown) at the bottom of the micropores. Therefore, the barrier layer is removed from the anodic oxide film 11d shown in FIG. 3, and a plurality of through holes 17 extending in the thickness direction Dt are formed in the anodic oxide film 16 as shown in FIG.
 以上の工程により、バルブ金属部材15の外縁15bに配置されたフレーム部15dで囲まれる領域15cに、複数の細孔(貫通孔17)を有する酸化膜(陽極酸化膜16)を形成することにより、バルブ金属部材15と、酸化膜(陽極酸化膜16)とを有する構造体18を得る。例えば、図7及び図8に示すように、バルブ金属部材15の表面15aに、陽極酸化膜16が形成され、陽極酸化膜16の周囲にフレーム部15dがある。また、図9に示すように、陽極酸化膜16の表面16aと、フレーム部15dの表面とは、略同一面である。
 上述のように、図3に示す陽極酸化膜形成工程と、図4に示す、厚み方向Dtに延在する貫通孔17を複数形成する工程とが、構造体18を得る形成工程である。
By the above steps, an oxide film (anodic oxide film 16) having a plurality of pores (through holes 17) is formed in the region 15c surrounded by the frame portion 15d arranged on the outer edge 15b of the valve metal member 15. , A structure 18 having a valve metal member 15 and an oxide film (anodic oxide film 16) is obtained. For example, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, an anodic oxide film 16 is formed on the surface 15a of the valve metal member 15, and a frame portion 15d is provided around the anodic oxide film 16. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16 and the surface of the frame portion 15d are substantially the same surface.
As described above, the anodic oxide film forming step shown in FIG. 3 and the step of forming a plurality of through holes 17 extending in the thickness direction Dt shown in FIG. 4 are forming steps for obtaining the structure 18.

〔陽極酸化処理工程〕

[Anodizing process]
For the anodizing treatment, a conventionally known method can be used, but from the viewpoint of increasing the regularity of the micropore arrangement and ensuring the anisotropic conductivity of the metal-filled microstructure, a self-regulating method or a constant voltage treatment can be used. Is preferably used.
Here, regarding the self-regularization method and the constant voltage treatment of the anodizing treatment, the same treatments as those described in paragraphs [0056] to [0108] and [FIG. 3] of JP-A-2008-270158 are performed. Can be applied.
 複数のマイクロポアを有する陽極酸化膜には、上述のようにマイクロポアの底部にバリア層(図示せず)が存在する。このバリア層を除去するバリア層除去工程を有する。 The anodic oxide film having a plurality of micropores has a barrier layer (not shown) at the bottom of the micropores as described above. It has a barrier layer removing step of removing the barrier layer.
〔バリア層除去工程〕
 バリア層除去工程は、例えば、アルミニウムよりも水素過電圧の高い金属M1のイオンを含むアルカリ水溶液を用いて、陽極酸化膜のバリア層を除去する工程である。
 上述のバリア層除去工程により、バリア層が除去され、かつ、マイクロポアの底部に、金属M1からなる導電体層が形成されることになる。
 ここで、水素過電圧(hydrogen overvoltage)とは、水素が発生するのに必要な電圧をいい、例えば、アルミニウム(Al)の水素過電圧は-1.66Vである(日本化学会誌,1982、(8),p1305-1313)。なお、アルミニウムの水素過電圧よりも高い金属M1の例及びその水素過電圧の値を以下に示す。
 <金属M1及び水素(1N H2SO4)過電圧>
 ・白金(Pt):0.00V
 ・金(Au):0.02V
 ・銀(Ag):0.08V
 ・ニッケル(Ni):0.21V
 ・銅(Cu):0.23V
 ・錫(Sn):0.53V
 ・亜鉛(Zn):0.70V
[Barrier layer removal process]
The barrier layer removing step is a step of removing the barrier layer of the anodic oxide film by using, for example, an alkaline aqueous solution containing ions of a metal M1 having a hydrogen overvoltage higher than that of aluminum.
By the barrier layer removing step described above, the barrier layer is removed and a conductor layer made of metal M1 is formed at the bottom of the micropores.
Here, the hydrogen overvoltage means a voltage required for hydrogen to be generated. For example, the hydrogen overvoltage of aluminum (Al) is −1.66 V (Journal of the Chemical Society of Japan, 1982, (8)). , P1305-1313). An example of the metal M1 having a hydrogen overvoltage higher than that of aluminum and the value of the hydrogen overvoltage thereof are shown below.
<Metal M1 and hydrogen (1NH 2 SO 4 ) overvoltage>
-Platinum (Pt): 0.00V

-Tin (Sn): 0.53V
-Zinc (Zn): 0.70V
 貫通孔17(細孔)は、マイクロポアを拡径し、かつバリア層を除去して形成することもできる。この場合、マイクロポアの拡径には、ポアワイド処理が用いられる。ポアワイド処理は、陽極酸化膜を、酸水溶液又はアルカリ水溶液に浸漬させることにより、陽極酸化膜を溶解させ、マイクロポアの孔径を拡大する処理である、ポアワイド処理には、硫酸、リン酸、硝酸、塩酸等の無機酸又はこれらの混合物の水溶液、又は水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カリウム及び水酸化リチウム等の水溶液を用いることができる。
 なお、ポアワイド処理でも、マイクロポアの底部のバリア層を除去することができ、ポアワイド処理において水酸化ナトリウム水溶液を用いることにより、マイクロポアが拡径され、かつバリア層が除去される。
 ポアワイド処理は、バリア層除去工程と同様に、導電体層を形成することができない。このため、ポアワイド処理後、改めてアルミニウムよりも水素過電圧の高い金属M1のイオンを含む水溶液を用いて処理して導電体層を形成してもよく、更に異なる金属を含む水溶液で複数段階の処理を施して導電体層を形成してもよい。
The through hole 17 (pore) can also be formed by expanding the diameter of the micropore and removing the barrier layer. In this case, pore wide processing is used to increase the diameter of the micropores. The pore-wide treatment is a treatment in which the anodic oxide film is immersed in an acid aqueous solution or an alkaline aqueous solution to dissolve the anodic oxide film and expand the pore size of the micropores. An aqueous solution of an inorganic acid such as hydrochloric acid or a mixture thereof, or an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide or the like can be used.
The barrier layer at the bottom of the micropore can also be removed by the pore wide treatment, and by using the sodium hydroxide aqueous solution in the pore wide treatment, the diameter of the micropore is expanded and the barrier layer is removed.
The pore-wide treatment cannot form the conductor layer as in the barrier layer removing step. Therefore, after the pore-wide treatment, the conductor layer may be formed by treating again with an aqueous solution containing ions of a metal M1 having a higher hydrogen overvoltage than aluminum, and further, a plurality of steps of treatment with an aqueous solution containing a different metal may be performed. It may be applied to form a conductor layer.
 次に、図4の状態からマスク12を外す(図5参照)。そして、図5に示す構造体18に対して、陽極酸化膜16の複数の貫通孔17に、金属を充填する充填工程を実施する。構造体18に対して、陽極酸化膜16の複数の貫通孔17の内部に金属を充填することにより、図6に示すように、導電性を有する導通路20が形成され、金属充填部材21を得る。なお、金属を充填する充填工程は、後に詳細に説明する。
 充填工程では、陽極酸化膜16の複数の貫通孔17の内部に金属を充填すればよいが、図5、図10及び図11に示すように、構造体18の表面、すなわち、金属充填部材21のフレーム部15d上及び陽極酸化膜16の表面16a上に、金属層19を形成することにより、金属を複数の貫通孔17に充填してもよい。この場合、フレーム部15d上に金属層19を、厚みδ(図5及び図11)100μm以下に形成することが好ましい。金属層19の厚みδの下限値としては、例えば、2μmである。
 金属層19の厚みδが2~100μmであれば、導通路20が保護され、金属充填部材21の搬送時に、陽極酸化膜16、及び導通路20等の損傷が抑制される。なお、金属層19の厚みδは、例えば、めっき時間を長くすることにより、厚くすることができる。充填工程では、陽極酸化膜16の表面16aを超えて、金属を充填することにより、フレーム部15d上に金属層19が形成される。
 充填工程では、陽極酸化膜16の表面16a迄、貫通孔17内に金属を充填して、金属層19を設けない工程としてもよい。
Next, the mask 12 is removed from the state shown in FIG. 4 (see FIG. 5). Then, for the structure 18 shown in FIG. 5, a filling step of filling the plurality of through holes 17 of the anodic oxide film 16 with metal is carried out. By filling the inside of the plurality of through holes 17 of the anodic oxide film 16 with respect to the structure 18, a conductive passage 20 having conductivity is formed as shown in FIG. 6, and the metal filling member 21 is formed. obtain. The filling step of filling the metal will be described in detail later.
In the filling step, the inside of the plurality of through holes 17 of the anodic oxide film 16 may be filled with metal, but as shown in FIGS. 5, 10 and 11, the surface of the structure 18, that is, the metal filling member 21 The metal may be filled in the plurality of through holes 17 by forming the metal layer 19 on the frame portion 15d of the above and on the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16. In this case, it is preferable to form the metal layer 19 on the frame portion 15d with a thickness δ (FIGS. 5 and 11) of 100 μm or less. The lower limit of the thickness δ of the metal layer 19 is, for example, 2 μm.
When the thickness δ of the metal layer 19 is 2 to 100 μm, the conduction path 20 is protected, and damage to the anodic oxide film 16 and the conduction path 20 is suppressed during transportation of the metal filling member 21. The thickness δ of the metal layer 19 can be increased by increasing the plating time, for example. In the filling step, the metal layer 19 is formed on the frame portion 15d by filling the metal over the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16.
In the filling step, the through hole 17 may be filled with metal up to the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16 so that the metal layer 19 is not provided.
 金属層19の厚みδは、金属充填部材21を厚み方向に対して切断し、FE-SEM(Field emission - Scanning Electron Microscope)を用いて切断断面の断面観察を行い、10点測定した平均値である。
 また、バルブ金属部材15の底部15eの厚み、特に限定されるものではないが、20μm以上あることが好ましく、30~50μmであることが更に好ましい。
 上述のバルブ金属部材15の底部15eの厚みは、上述の金属層19の厚みδと同じく、金属充填部材21を厚み方向に対して切断し、FE-SEMを用いて切断断面の断面観察を行い、10点測定した平均値である。
The thickness δ of the metal layer 19 is an average value measured at 10 points by cutting the metal filling member 21 in the thickness direction and observing the cut cross section using an FE-SEM (Field emission-Scanning Electron Microscope). be.
The thickness of the bottom portion 15e of the valve metal member 15 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 20 μm or more, and more preferably 30 to 50 μm.
The thickness of the bottom portion 15e of the valve metal member 15 described above is the same as the thickness δ of the metal layer 19 described above, the metal filling member 21 is cut in the thickness direction, and the cross section of the cut cross section is observed using FE-SEM. It is an average value measured at 10 points.
 上述の金属を充填する充填工程により、金属充填部材21が得られる。次に、金属充填部材21を、相対湿度10~30%の環境に24時間以上さらす保持工程を実施する。保持工程については、金属充填部材21を、相対湿度10~30%の環境に24時間以上さらす工程であれば、その工程は特に限定されるものではなく、保持工程については後に説明する。 The metal filling member 21 is obtained by the filling step of filling the metal described above. Next, a holding step of exposing the metal filling member 21 to an environment having a relative humidity of 10 to 30% for 24 hours or more is carried out. The holding step is not particularly limited as long as the metal filling member 21 is exposed to an environment having a relative humidity of 10 to 30% for 24 hours or more, and the holding step will be described later.
〔充填工程〕
 <充填される金属>
 上述の貫通孔17の内部に、導電性物質として充填される金属は、電気抵抗率が103Ω・cm以下の材料であることが好ましく、その具体例としては、金(Au)、銀(Ag)、銅(Cu)、アルミニウム(Al)、マグネシウム(Mg)、ニッケル(Ni)、及び亜鉛(Zn)が好適に例示される。
 なお、導電性物質としては、電気伝導性の観点から、Cu、Au、Al、Niが好ましく、Cu、Auがより好ましく、Cuが更に好ましい。
[Filling process]
<Metal to be filled>
Inside the above-mentioned through hole 17, the metal to be filled as a conductive material preferably has electric resistivity is less material 10 3 Ω · cm, and specific examples thereof include gold (Au), silver ( Ag), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn) are preferably exemplified.
As the conductive substance, Cu, Au, Al, and Ni are preferable, Cu and Au are more preferable, and Cu is further preferable, from the viewpoint of electrical conductivity.
 <充填方法>
 貫通孔の内部に金属を充填する電解めっき処理方法としては、例えば、電解めっき法又は無電解めっき法を用いることができる。
 ここで、着色等に用いられる従来公知の電解めっき法では、選択的に孔中に金属を高アスペクトで析出(成長)させることは困難である。これは、析出金属が孔内で消費され一定時間以上電解を行なってもめっきが成長しないためと考えられる。
 そのため、電解めっき法により金属を充填する場合は、パルス電解又は定電位電解の際に休止時間をもうける必要がある。休止時間は、10秒以上必要で、30~60秒であることが好ましい。
 また、電解液のかくはんを促進するため、超音波を加えることも望ましい。
<Filling method>
As an electroplating method for filling the inside of the through hole with metal, for example, an electroplating method or an electroless plating method can be used.
Here, it is difficult to selectively deposit (grow) a metal in the pores with a high aspect ratio by a conventionally known electrolytic plating method used for coloring or the like. It is considered that this is because the precipitated metal is consumed in the pores and the plating does not grow even if electrolysis is performed for a certain period of time or longer.
Therefore, when the metal is filled by the electrolytic plating method, it is necessary to allow a rest time during pulse electrolysis or constant potential electrolysis. The rest time is required to be 10 seconds or more, preferably 30 to 60 seconds.
It is also desirable to add ultrasonic waves to promote the agitation of the electrolyte.
 更に、電解電圧は、通常20V以下であって望ましくは10V以下であるが、使用する電解液における目的金属の析出電位を予め測定し、その電位+1V以内で定電位電解を行なうことが好ましい。なお、定電位電解を行なう際には、サイクリックボルタンメトリを併用できるものが望ましく、Solartron社、BAS株式会社、北斗電工株式会社、IVIUM社等のポテンショスタット装置を用いることができる。
 上述の電解めっき処理方法では、定電流電解を用いることも可能であるが、電解時の電圧が上述の電解電圧と同じ範囲になるよう電流値を設定することが好ましい。この場合、通常の直流電源を利用することができ、例えば、松定プレシジョン株式会社、株式会社高砂製作所、菊水電子工業株式会社、株式会社テクシオテクノロジー等の公知の装置を用いることができる。また、上述の電解めっき処理方法では、めっき処理で常用されるパルス電解を用いることもできる。
Further, the electrolytic voltage is usually 20 V or less, preferably 10 V or less, but it is preferable to measure the precipitation potential of the target metal in the electrolytic solution to be used in advance and perform constant potential electrolysis within the potential + 1 V. When performing constant potential electrolysis, it is desirable that cyclic voltammetry can be used in combination, and potentiostat devices such as Solartron, BAS, Hokuto Denko, and IVIUM can be used.
In the above-mentioned electroplating method, constant current electrolysis can be used, but it is preferable to set the current value so that the voltage at the time of electrolysis is in the same range as the above-mentioned electrolysis voltage. In this case, a normal DC power source can be used, and for example, known devices such as Matsusada Precision Co., Ltd., Takasago Seisakusho Co., Ltd., Kikusui Electronics Co., Ltd., and Texio Technology Co., Ltd. can be used. Further, in the above-mentioned electrolytic plating treatment method, pulse electrolysis, which is commonly used in the plating treatment, can also be used.
 めっき液は、従来公知のめっき液を用いることができる。
 具体的には、銅を析出させる場合には硫酸銅を含む水溶液が一般的に用いられるが、硫酸銅の濃度は、1~300g/Lであることが好ましく、100~200g/Lであるのがより好ましい。また、電解液中に塩酸を添加すると析出を促進することができる。この場合、塩酸濃度は10~20g/Lであることが好ましい。
 また、めっき液は酸を含んでいてもよく、その酸濃度は0.01~1mol/Lであることが好ましい。
As the plating solution, a conventionally known plating solution can be used.
Specifically, when precipitating copper, an aqueous solution containing copper sulfate is generally used, but the concentration of copper sulfate is preferably 1 to 300 g / L, preferably 100 to 200 g / L. Is more preferable. Further, the precipitation can be promoted by adding hydrochloric acid to the electrolytic solution. In this case, the hydrochloric acid concentration is preferably 10 to 20 g / L.
Further, the plating solution may contain an acid, and the acid concentration thereof is preferably 0.01 to 1 mol / L.
 電解液は添加剤を添加してもよく、電解液に添加する添加剤としては、例えば、以下に示すものがある。また、添加剤により、以下に示す作用が得られる。
 添加剤としては、光沢剤、平滑化剤と呼ばれる添加成分を添加することも可能である。付着抑制作用では、分子又はイオンが単独で吸着又は析出し、めっき反応を抑制する。サッカリン、ベンゾチアゾール、チオ尿素、ヤヌスグリーンB(JGB)、ベンゼルアセトン、鉛、ビスマス等が付着抑制作用を有するものに該当する。
 界面錯形成作用では、表面吸着した微量の錯体形成イオンが、金属イオンに配位してイオンブリッジ又はエレクトロブリッジを形成することにより析出反応を促進する。塩化物イオン、CN、SCN、硫黄系化合物(チオ尿素、3,3´-ジチオビス(1-プロパンスルホン酸)二ナトリウム(SPS)、ジメルカプトチアゾール(DMTD)等)、ホウ酸、シュウ酸、マロン酸等がこれに当たると考えられている。
 皮膜形成作用では、界面活性剤あるいは高分子が、めっき表面にマイルドに付着して皮膜を形成し、めっき反応を抑制する。PEG(ポリエチレングリコール)、ポリエチレングリコールモノ-4-ノニルフェニルエーテル(PEGNPE)、ポリビニルアルコール、ゼラチン等が代表例である。
 電解消耗機構では、分子又はイオンがめっき表面で迅速に電解還元され、その反応はそれらの分子又はイオンの表面への拡散輸送によって律速される。これにより、めっきの表面形状の凹凸が小さくなる。不飽和アルコール(ブチンジオール、プロパルギルアルコール、クマリン等)、NO 、Fe 等が代表例である。
 また、めっき液は、表面張力を調整しできるだけ低くすることも好ましく、表面張力としては、純水よりも低い60mN/m以下にすることが好ましい。表面張力の調整のために界面活性剤又は有機溶媒を添加することもできる。
 めっき液は、pH(水素イオン指数)を調整することが好ましく、pHは1以上であることが望ましい。
Additives may be added to the electrolytic solution, and examples of the additives added to the electrolytic solution include those shown below. In addition, the following actions can be obtained by the additive.
As an additive, it is also possible to add an additive component called a brightener or a smoothing agent. In the adhesion suppressing action, molecules or ions are adsorbed or precipitated alone to suppress the plating reaction. Saccharin, benzothiazole, thiourea, Janus Green B (JGB), benzelacetone, lead, bismuth and the like have an adhesion inhibitory effect.
In the interfacial complex formation action, a small amount of complex-forming ions adsorbed on the surface coordinate with metal ions to form an ion bridge or an electrobridge, thereby promoting a precipitation reaction. Chloride ion, CN -, SCN -, sulfur compounds (thiourea, 3,3'-dithiobis (1-propane sulfonic acid) disodium (SPS), dimercaptothiazoles (DMTD), etc.), boric acid, oxalic acid , Malonic acid, etc. are considered to correspond to this.
In the film-forming action, the surfactant or polymer mildly adheres to the plating surface to form a film and suppresses the plating reaction. Typical examples are PEG (polyethylene glycol), polyethylene glycol mono-4-nonylphenyl ether (PEGNPE), polyvinyl alcohol, gelatin and the like.
In the electrolytic consumption mechanism, molecules or ions are rapidly electrolytically reduced on the plating surface, and the reaction is rate-determined by diffusion transport of those molecules or ions to the surface. As a result, the unevenness of the surface shape of the plating is reduced. Unsaturated alcohols (butynediol, propargyl alcohol, coumarin, etc.), NO 3 -, Fe 3 + and the like are representative examples.
Further, it is preferable that the surface tension of the plating solution is adjusted to be as low as possible, and the surface tension is preferably 60 mN / m or less, which is lower than that of pure water. Surfactants or organic solvents can also be added to adjust the surface tension.
The pH (hydrogen ion index) of the plating solution is preferably adjusted, and the pH is preferably 1 or more.
 なお、金を析出させる場合、テトラクロロ金の硫酸溶液を用い、交流電解でめっきを行なうのが望ましい。
 また、無電解めっき法では、アスペクトの高い貫通孔からなる孔中に金属を完全に充填には長時間を要するので、電解めっき法を用いて貫通孔に金属を充填することが望ましい。
When depositing gold, it is desirable to use a sulfuric acid solution of tetrachloroauric acid and perform plating by AC electrolysis.
Further, in the electroless plating method, it takes a long time to completely fill the holes composed of through holes having a high aspect, so it is desirable to fill the through holes with metal by using the electrolytic plating method.
 保持工程の後、金属充填部材21に対して、図12に示すように、樹脂基材22を用いて、陽極酸化膜16の裏面16bに支持体24を設ける。
 樹脂基材22は、例えば、機能性吸着フィルムが用いられる。機能性吸着フィルムとしては、Q-chuck(登録商標)(丸石産業株式会社製)等を使用することができる。
 支持体24は、陽極酸化膜16と同じ外形状であることが好ましい。支持体24は、後工程で陽極酸化膜16を支持する。支持体24を取り付けることにより、取扱い性が増す。
After the holding step, the support 24 is provided on the back surface 16b of the anodic oxide film 16 using the resin base material 22 with respect to the metal filling member 21 as shown in FIG.
As the resin base material 22, for example, a functional adsorption film is used. As the functional adsorption film, Q-chuck (registered trademark) (manufactured by Maruishi Sangyo Co., Ltd.) or the like can be used.
The support 24 preferably has the same outer shape as the anodic oxide film 16. The support 24 supports the anodic oxide film 16 in a post-process. By attaching the support 24, the handleability is increased.
 次に、図13に示すように、例えば、金属充填部材21の金属層19を除去する金属層除去工程を実施する。金属層除去工程では、例えば、粘着テープを用いて金属層19を剥離する。複数の貫通孔17は平均直径が1μm以下と小さく、粘着テープを用いて、金属層を容易に除去できる。
 なお、金属層除去工程は、金属層19を除去できれば、その方法については特に限定されるものではない。
Next, as shown in FIG. 13, for example, a metal layer removing step of removing the metal layer 19 of the metal filling member 21 is carried out. In the metal layer removing step, for example, the metal layer 19 is peeled off using an adhesive tape. The plurality of through holes 17 have a small average diameter of 1 μm or less, and the metal layer can be easily removed by using an adhesive tape.
The metal layer removing step is not particularly limited as long as the metal layer 19 can be removed.
 図13に示す金属層19が除去された状態で、陽極酸化膜16の表面16aを平滑化する表面平滑化処理工程を有することが好ましい。表面平滑化処理工程の平滑化は、化学的機械的研磨(CMP)、ドライエッチング又は研削を用いることができ、また、化学的機械的研磨(CMP)、ドライエッチング及び研削を組み合わせて平滑化してもよい。化学的機械的研磨(CMP)を行う場合、異なる砥粒を組み合わせて研磨してもよく、いずれの方法においても、仕上がりの表面粗さ(算術平均粗さRa(JIS B 0601:2001)は0.02μm以下にすることが好ましい。
 金属層除去工程の後に、表面平滑化処理工程を実施することにより、表面平滑化処理工程において、研磨量等を少なくすることができ、研磨を容易に実施できる。これにより、表面平滑化処理に要する時間を短縮でき、かつ容易に平滑化できる。
 上述の金属層除去工程と表面平滑化処理工程とは、保持工程後になされる。上述の金属層除去工程及び表面平滑化処理工程は、バルブ金属部材15の裏面に、搬送等のハンドリングのために、支持部材が設けられている。
It is preferable to have a surface smoothing treatment step for smoothing the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16 with the metal layer 19 shown in FIG. 13 removed. The smoothing of the surface smoothing process can be done by using chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), dry etching or grinding, or by combining chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), dry etching and grinding. May be good. When performing chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), different abrasive grains may be combined and polished, and in any method, the finished surface roughness (arithmetic mean roughness Ra (JIS B 0601: 2001)) is 0. It is preferably .02 μm or less.
By carrying out the surface smoothing treatment step after the metal layer removing step, the amount of polishing and the like can be reduced in the surface smoothing treatment step, and polishing can be easily carried out. As a result, the time required for the surface smoothing treatment can be shortened, and smoothing can be easily performed.
The above-mentioned metal layer removing step and surface smoothing treatment step are performed after the holding step. In the metal layer removing step and the surface smoothing treatment step described above, a support member is provided on the back surface of the valve metal member 15 for handling such as transportation.
 表面平滑化処理工程の後、図14に示すように、支持体24が取り付けられた形態で、陽極酸化膜16及びフレーム部15dを厚み方向Dtに一部除去し、上述の充填した金属を陽極酸化膜16の表面16aよりも突出させてもよい。すなわち、導通路20を陽極酸化膜16の表面16aから突出させてもよい。陽極酸化膜16の表面16aから導通路20が突出した部分を突出部20aという。上述の充填した金属を陽極酸化膜16の表面16aよりも突出させる工程のことを金属突出工程という。 After the surface smoothing treatment step, as shown in FIG. 14, in the form in which the support 24 is attached, the anodic oxide film 16 and the frame portion 15d are partially removed in the thickness direction Dt, and the above-mentioned filled metal is used as the anode. It may protrude from the surface 16a of the oxide film 16. That is, the conduction path 20 may be projected from the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16. The portion where the conduction path 20 protrudes from the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16 is referred to as a protruding portion 20a. The step of projecting the filled metal from the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16 is called a metal projecting step.
〔金属突出工程〕
 上述の陽極酸化膜16の一部除去には、例えば、導通路20を構成する金属を溶解せず、陽極酸化膜16、すなわち、酸化アルミニウム(Al)を溶解する酸水溶液又はアルカリ水溶液が用いられる。上述の酸水溶液又はアルカリ水溶液を、金属が充填された貫通孔17を有する陽極酸化膜16を接触させることにより、陽極酸化膜16を一部除去する。上述の酸水溶液又はアルカリ水溶液を陽極酸化膜16に接触させる方法は、特に限定されず、例えば、浸漬法、スプレー法及びスピンプロセシング法等が挙げられる。中でも均一性の観点からスピンプロセッサーを用いた処理方法が好ましい。スピンプロセッサーとしては、三益半導体工業株式会社、株式会社日立ハイテクノロジーズ、株式会社SCREENホールディングス、大日本スクリーン、アクテス京三株式会社、株式会社カナメックス等の公知の製品を用いることができる。
[Metal protrusion process]
For the partial removal of the anodic oxide film 16 described above, for example, an acid aqueous solution or an alkaline aqueous solution that does not dissolve the metal constituting the conduction path 20 but dissolves the anodic oxide film 16, that is, aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3). Is used. A part of the anodic oxide film 16 is removed by bringing the above-mentioned acid aqueous solution or alkaline aqueous solution into contact with the anodic oxide film 16 having through holes 17 filled with metal. The method of bringing the above-mentioned acid aqueous solution or alkaline aqueous solution into contact with the anodic oxide film 16 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a dipping method, a spray method, and a spin processing method. Above all, a processing method using a spin processor is preferable from the viewpoint of uniformity. As the spin processor, known products such as Sanmasu Semiconductor Industry Co., Ltd., Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, SCREEN Holdings Co., Ltd., Dainippon Screen, Actes Kyozo Co., Ltd., and Kanamex Co., Ltd. can be used.
 酸水溶液を用いる場合は、硫酸、リン酸、硝酸及び塩酸等の無機酸又はこれらの混合物の水溶液を用いることが好ましい。中でもクロム酸を含有しない水溶液が安全性に優れる点で好ましい。酸水溶液の濃度は1~10質量%であることが好ましい。酸水溶液の温度は、25~60℃であることが好ましい。
 また、アルカリ水溶液を用いる場合は、水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カリウム及び水酸化リチウムからなる群から選ばれる少なくとも一つのアルカリの水溶液を用いることが好ましい。アルカリ水溶液の濃度は0.1~5質量%であることが好ましい。アルカリ水溶液の温度は、20~35℃であることが好ましい。
 具体的には、例えば、50g/L、40℃のリン酸水溶液、0.5g/L、30℃の水酸化ナトリウム水溶液又は0.5g/L、30℃の水酸化カリウム水溶液が好適に用いられる。
When an aqueous acid solution is used, it is preferable to use an aqueous solution of an inorganic acid such as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, or a mixture thereof. Of these, an aqueous solution containing no chromic acid is preferable because it is excellent in safety. The concentration of the aqueous acid solution is preferably 1 to 10% by mass. The temperature of the aqueous acid solution is preferably 25 to 60 ° C.
When an alkaline aqueous solution is used, it is preferable to use at least one alkaline aqueous solution selected from the group consisting of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and lithium hydroxide. The concentration of the alkaline aqueous solution is preferably 0.1 to 5% by mass. The temperature of the alkaline aqueous solution is preferably 20 to 35 ° C.
Specifically, for example, a phosphoric acid aqueous solution at 50 g / L and 40 ° C., a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution at 0.5 g / L and 30 ° C., or a potassium hydroxide aqueous solution at 0.5 g / L and 30 ° C. is preferably used. ..
 酸水溶液又はアルカリ水溶液への浸漬時間は、8~120分であることが好ましく、10~90分であるのがより好ましく、15~60分であるのが更に好ましい。ここで、浸漬時間は、短時間の浸漬処理を繰り返した場合には、各浸漬時間の合計をいう。なお、各浸漬処理の間には、洗浄処理を施してもよく、また、中和処理を施してもよい。 The immersion time in the acid aqueous solution or the alkaline aqueous solution is preferably 8 to 120 minutes, more preferably 10 to 90 minutes, and further preferably 15 to 60 minutes. Here, the immersion time means the total of each immersion time when the immersion treatment for a short time is repeated. A cleaning treatment may be performed or a neutralization treatment may be performed between the immersion treatments.
 また、金属を陽極酸化膜16の表面16aより突出させる程度であるが、作製される金属充填微細構造体32を異方導電性部材として用いた際に、配線基板等の被接着物との圧着性が良好となる理由から、金属を陽極酸化膜16の表面16aよりも10nm~1000nm突出させることが好ましく、50nm~500nm突出させることがより好ましい。すなわち、突出部20aの表面16aからの突出量は10nm~1000nmが好ましく、より好ましくは50nm~500nmである。 Further, although the metal is only projected from the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16, when the produced metal-filled microstructure 32 is used as an anisotropic conductive member, it is pressure-bonded to an object to be adhered such as a wiring board. For the reason that the properties are good, it is preferable that the metal protrudes from the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16 by 10 nm to 1000 nm, and more preferably 50 nm to 500 nm. That is, the amount of protrusion of the protruding portion 20a from the surface 16a is preferably 10 nm to 1000 nm, more preferably 50 nm to 500 nm.
 導通路20の突出部20aの高さを厳密に制御する場合は、貫通孔17の内部に金属を充填した後、陽極酸化膜16と導通路20の端部とを同一平面状になるように加工した後、陽極酸化膜を選択的に除去することが好ましい。
 また、上述の金属の充填後、又は金属突出工程の後に、金属の充填に伴い発生した導通路20内の歪みを軽減する目的で、加熱処理を施すことができる。
 加熱処理は、金属の酸化を抑制する観点から還元性雰囲気で施すことが好ましく、具体的には、酸素濃度が20Pa以下で行うことが好ましく、真空下で行うことがより好ましい。ここで、真空とは、大気よりも、気体密度及び気圧のうち、少なくとも一方が低い空間の状態をいう。
 また、加熱処理は、矯正の目的で、陽極酸化膜16に応力を加えながら行うことが好ましい。
 また、乾燥時の水の表面張力による突出部同士の収束を抑制するために、超臨界乾燥を施すことが好ましい。超臨界乾燥には、例えば、超臨界洗浄乾燥装置(SCRD6、株式会社レクザム社製)等を用いることができる。
When strictly controlling the height of the protruding portion 20a of the conduction path 20, after filling the inside of the through hole 17 with metal, the anodic oxide film 16 and the end portion of the conduction path 20 are made flush with each other. After processing, it is preferable to selectively remove the anodic oxide film.
Further, after the above-mentioned metal filling or after the metal projecting step, heat treatment can be performed for the purpose of reducing the distortion in the conduction path 20 generated by the metal filling.
The heat treatment is preferably carried out in a reducing atmosphere from the viewpoint of suppressing the oxidation of the metal. Specifically, the heat treatment is preferably carried out at an oxygen concentration of 20 Pa or less, and more preferably carried out under vacuum. Here, the vacuum means a state of a space in which at least one of the gas density and the atmospheric pressure is lower than that of the atmosphere.
Further, the heat treatment is preferably performed while applying stress to the anodic oxide film 16 for the purpose of straightening.
Further, it is preferable to perform supercritical drying in order to suppress the convergence of the protrusions due to the surface tension of water during drying. For supercritical drying, for example, a supercritical washing / drying device (SCRD6, manufactured by Rexxam Co., Ltd.) or the like can be used.
 陽極酸化膜16に支持体24を用けることにより、陽極酸化膜16単体を取扱うことに比して陽極酸化膜16の損傷を抑制することができ、取扱いが容易になる。
 ここで、取扱いとは、陽極酸化膜16を保持すること、ならびに陽極酸化膜16の移送、搬送及び運搬等の陽極酸化膜16を移動させることをいう。取扱いが容易とは、上述の陽極酸化膜16の保持の際、及び上述の陽極酸化膜16の移動の際に、陽極酸化膜16の損傷等を抑制できることをいう。取扱いが容易であることにより、例えば、充填した金属を陽極酸化膜16の表面16aよりも突出させるが、この金属の損傷を抑制することができる。
By using the support 24 on the anodic oxide film 16, damage to the anodic oxide film 16 can be suppressed as compared with handling the anodic oxide film 16 alone, and the handling becomes easier.
Here, handling means holding the anodic oxide film 16 and moving the anodic oxide film 16 for transferring, transporting, and transporting the anodic oxide film 16. "Easy to handle" means that damage to the anodic oxide film 16 can be suppressed when the above-mentioned anodic oxide film 16 is held and when the above-mentioned anodic oxide film 16 is moved. Since it is easy to handle, for example, the filled metal is projected from the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16, but damage to the metal can be suppressed.
 図14に示すように充填した金属が陽極酸化膜16の表面16aよりも突出しているため、突出した金属、すなわち、導通路20の突出部20aを保護することが好ましい。このため、図15に示すように導通路20の突出部20aが埋設する樹脂層26を、陽極酸化膜16の表面16aに形成することが好ましい。樹脂層26を設ける工程を樹脂層形成工程という。金属充填微細構造体の製造方法には樹脂層形成工程が含まれてもよい。 Since the filled metal protrudes from the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16 as shown in FIG. 14, it is preferable to protect the protruding metal, that is, the protruding portion 20a of the conduction path 20. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15, it is preferable to form the resin layer 26 in which the protruding portion 20a of the conduction path 20 is embedded on the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16. The step of providing the resin layer 26 is called a resin layer forming step. The method for producing the metal-filled microstructure may include a resin layer forming step.
 樹脂層26により、導通路20の突出部20aが保護され、金属充填微細構造体の搬送性をより向上させることができ、より取扱いが容易になる。樹脂層26は粘着性を備えるものであり、接着性を付与するものである。
 樹脂層26は、例えば、従来公知の表面保護テープ貼付装置及びラミネーターを用いて形成することができる。樹脂層26を設けることにより、金属充填微細構造体の搬送性を向上させることができる。
The resin layer 26 protects the protruding portion 20a of the conduction path 20, and can further improve the transportability of the metal-filled microstructure, making it easier to handle. The resin layer 26 has adhesiveness and imparts adhesiveness.
The resin layer 26 can be formed by using, for example, a conventionally known surface protective tape affixing device and a laminator. By providing the resin layer 26, the transportability of the metal-filled microstructure can be improved.
〔樹脂層形成工程〕
 樹脂層26を構成する樹脂材料としては、具体的には、例えば、エチレン系共重合体、ポリアミド樹脂、ポリエステル樹脂、ポリウレタン樹脂、ポリオレフィン系樹脂、アクリル系樹脂、及びセルロース系樹脂等を挙げることができるが、搬送性の観点と、異方導電性部材として使用しやすくする観点から、上述の樹脂層は、剥離可能な粘着層付きフィルムであることが好ましく、加熱処理又は紫外線露光処理により粘着性が弱くなり、剥離可能となる粘着層付きフィルムであるのがより好ましい。
[Resin layer forming process]
Specific examples of the resin material constituting the resin layer 26 include ethylene-based copolymers, polyamide resins, polyester resins, polyurethane resins, polyolefin-based resins, acrylic resins, and cellulose-based resins. However, from the viewpoint of transportability and ease of use as an anisotropic conductive member, the above-mentioned resin layer is preferably a film with a peelable adhesive layer, and is adhesive by heat treatment or ultraviolet exposure treatment. It is more preferable that the film has an adhesive layer that is weakened and can be peeled off.
 上述の粘着層付きフィルムは特に限定されず、熱剥離型の樹脂層、及び紫外線(ultraviolet:UV)剥離型の樹脂層等が挙げられる。
 ここで、熱剥離型の樹脂層は、常温では粘着力があり、加熱するだけで容易に剥離可能なもので、主に発泡性のマイクロカプセル等を用いたものが多い。
 また、粘着層を構成する粘着剤としては、具体的には、例えば、ゴム系粘着剤、アクリル系粘着剤、ビニルアルキルエーテル系粘着剤、シリコーン系粘着剤、ポリエステル系粘着剤、ポリアミド系粘着剤、ウレタン系粘着剤、スチレン-ジエンブロック共重合体系粘着剤等が挙げられる。
 また、UV剥離型の樹脂層は、UV硬化型の接着層を有するもので硬化により粘着力が失われて剥離可能になるというものである。
The above-mentioned film with an adhesive layer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a heat-peeling type resin layer and an ultraviolet (ultraviolet) peeling type resin layer.
Here, the heat-peeling type resin layer has adhesive strength at room temperature and can be easily peeled off only by heating, and most of them mainly use effervescent microcapsules or the like.
Specific examples of the adhesive constituting the adhesive layer include a rubber adhesive, an acrylic adhesive, a vinyl alkyl ether adhesive, a silicone adhesive, a polyester adhesive, and a polyamide adhesive. , Urethane-based pressure-sensitive adhesives, styrene-diene block copolymer-based pressure-sensitive adhesives, and the like.

 次に、図15に示す支持体24を陽極酸化膜16から取り除く。この場合、樹脂基材22を起点として支持体24を陽極酸化膜16から取り除く。
 次に、図16に示すように、樹脂層26の表面26aに剥離層27を積層する。剥離層27は、支持層28と剥離剤29が積層されたものである。剥離剤29が樹脂層26に接している。例えば、予め定められた温度に加熱することで、剥離剤29の接着力が弱まり、剥離層27を取り除くことができる。
 剥離剤29には、例えば、日東電工社製リバアルファ(登録商標)及びソマール株式会社製ソマタック(登録商標)等を用いることができる。
Next, the support 24 shown in FIG. 15 is removed from the anodic oxide film 16. In this case, the support 24 is removed from the anodic oxide film 16 starting from the resin base material 22.
Next, as shown in FIG. 16, the release layer 27 is laminated on the surface 26a of the resin layer 26. The release layer 27 is a laminate of the support layer 28 and the release agent 29. The release agent 29 is in contact with the resin layer 26. For example, by heating to a predetermined temperature, the adhesive force of the release agent 29 is weakened, and the release layer 27 can be removed.
As the release agent 29, for example, Riva Alpha (registered trademark) manufactured by Nitto Denko Corporation and Somatac (registered trademark) manufactured by SOMAR Corporation can be used.
 次に、両面粘着剤30を用いて、剥離層27に、例えば、支持部材31を取り付ける。支持部材31は支持層28に対向して配置される。支持部材31は、陽極酸化膜16と同じ外形状である。支持部材31は、後工程で支持体の役割を果たす。支持部材31を取り付けることにより、取扱い性が増す。
 両面粘着剤30は、剥離層27の支持層28と支持部材31とを接着することができれば、その構成は特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、日東電工社製の両面タイプのリバアルファ(登録商標)を用いることができる。
Next, for example, the support member 31 is attached to the release layer 27 using the double-sided adhesive 30. The support member 31 is arranged to face the support layer 28. The support member 31 has the same outer shape as the anodic oxide film 16. The support member 31 serves as a support in a subsequent process. By attaching the support member 31, the handleability is increased.
The configuration of the double-sided adhesive 30 is not particularly limited as long as the support layer 28 of the release layer 27 and the support member 31 can be adhered to each other. Trademark) can be used.
 支持部材31は、陽極酸化膜16を支持するものであり、例えば、シリコン基板で構成されている。支持部材31としては、シリコン基板以外に、例えば、SiC、SiN、GaN及びアルミナ(Al)等のセラミックス基板、ガラス基板、繊維強化プラスティック基板、ならびに金属基板を用いることができる。繊維強化プラスティック基板には、プリント配線基板であるFR-4(Flame Retardant Type 4)基板等も含まれる。 The support member 31 supports the anodic oxide film 16 and is made of, for example, a silicon substrate. As the support member 31, for example, a ceramic substrate such as SiC, SiC, GaN and alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), a glass substrate, a fiber reinforced plastic substrate, and a metal substrate can be used in addition to the silicon substrate. The fiber reinforced plastic substrate also includes a FR-4 (Flame Retardant Type 4) substrate, which is a printed wiring board.
 次に、陽極酸化膜16の裏面16bを研磨する。陽極酸化膜16の裏面16bの研磨では、陽極酸化膜16の裏面16bと導通路20の端面(図示せず)とが、同一面となる状態まで平坦化する。上述の陽極酸化膜16の裏面16bの研磨は、上述の図13に示す陽極酸化膜16の表面16aに対してした表面平滑化処理工程と同じであるため、その詳細な説明は省略する。 Next, the back surface 16b of the anodic oxide film 16 is polished. In polishing the back surface 16b of the anodic oxide film 16, the back surface 16b of the anodic oxide film 16 and the end surface (not shown) of the conduction path 20 are flattened to the same surface. Since the polishing of the back surface 16b of the anodic oxide film 16 described above is the same as the surface smoothing treatment step for the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16 shown in FIG. 13, detailed description thereof will be omitted.
 上述のように、複数の導通路20を有する陽極酸化膜16の表面16aに対して表面平滑化処理工程を実施した後、複数の導通路20を有する陽極酸化膜16の裏面16bに対して表面平滑化処理工程を実施したが、少なくとも一方の面に上述の表面平滑化処理工程を実施すればよい。
 例えば、陽極酸化膜16の表面16a及び裏面16bを、それぞれセンサ(図示せず)を用いて反射率を計測し、反射率の値が、予め定められた範囲にあれば研磨をすることなく、次の工程に移行するようにしてもよい。
As described above, after performing the surface smoothing treatment step on the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16 having the plurality of conduction paths 20, the surface of the back surface 16b of the anodic oxide film 16 having the plurality of conduction paths 20 Although the smoothing treatment step has been carried out, the above-mentioned surface smoothing treatment step may be carried out on at least one surface.
For example, the reflectance of the front surface 16a and the back surface 16b of the anodic oxide film 16 is measured using a sensor (not shown), respectively, and if the reflectance value is within a predetermined range, polishing is not required. You may move to the next step.
 次に、図17に示すように、陽極酸化膜16及びフレーム部15dを厚み方向Dtに一部除去し、上述の充填した金属を陽極酸化膜16の裏面16bよりも突出させる。すなわち、導通路20を陽極酸化膜16の裏面16bから突出させる。陽極酸化膜16の裏面16bから導通路20が突出した部分を突出部20bという。
 上述の充填した金属を陽極酸化膜16の裏面16bよりも突出させる工程は、上述の金属突出工程と同じであるため、その詳細な説明は省略する。
Next, as shown in FIG. 17, the anodic oxide film 16 and the frame portion 15d are partially removed in the thickness direction Dt, and the above-mentioned filled metal is projected from the back surface 16b of the anodic oxide film 16. That is, the conduction path 20 is projected from the back surface 16b of the anodic oxide film 16. The portion where the conduction path 20 protrudes from the back surface 16b of the anodic oxide film 16 is referred to as a protruding portion 20b.
Since the step of projecting the filled metal from the back surface 16b of the anodic oxide film 16 is the same as the above-mentioned metal projecting step, detailed description thereof will be omitted.
 次に、図18に示すように、陽極酸化膜16の裏面16bの導通路20の突出部20bが埋設する樹脂層26を、陽極酸化膜16の裏面16bに形成する。これにより、図18に示す金属充填微細構造体32を得ることができる。
 なお、導通路20の突出部20bが埋設する樹脂層26の形成方法は、上述の樹脂層形成工程と同じであるため、その詳細な説明は省略する。
Next, as shown in FIG. 18, a resin layer 26 in which the protruding portion 20b of the conduction path 20 of the back surface 16b of the anodic oxide film 16 is embedded is formed on the back surface 16b of the anodic oxide film 16. As a result, the metal-filled microstructure 32 shown in FIG. 18 can be obtained.
Since the method of forming the resin layer 26 in which the protruding portion 20b of the conduction path 20 is embedded is the same as the above-described resin layer forming step, detailed description thereof will be omitted.
 図18に示すように、陽極酸化膜16の両面に樹脂層26が形成された状態で、陽極酸化膜16外縁部にフレーム部15dが残存している。この外縁部に残存したフレーム部15dを、溶解、又は研削等の物理的な方法を用いて除去してもよい。これにより、図19に示すように、陽極酸化膜16単体の金属充填微細構造体32を得ることができる。なお、陽極酸化膜16を破損等することなく、バルブ金属部材15を取り除くことができれば、溶解に限定されるものではない。アルミニウム基板等のバルブ金属部材15を取り除くことをバルブ金属部材除去工程という。バルブ金属部材除去工程については後に説明する。
 金属充填微細構造体32の形状が、例えば、円板状であれば、金属充填微細構造体32の搬送に、半導体ウエハの搬送等に利用される装置を利用することができ、金属充填微細構造体32の取扱いに特別な装置は不要である。
As shown in FIG. 18, with the resin layers 26 formed on both sides of the anodic oxide film 16, the frame portion 15d remains on the outer edge of the anodic oxide film 16. The frame portion 15d remaining on the outer edge portion may be removed by a physical method such as melting or grinding. As a result, as shown in FIG. 19, the metal-filled microstructure 32 of the anodic oxide film 16 alone can be obtained. If the valve metal member 15 can be removed without damaging the anodic oxide film 16, it is not limited to melting. Removing the valve metal member 15 such as an aluminum substrate is called a valve metal member removing step. The valve metal member removing step will be described later.
If the shape of the metal-filled microstructure 32 is, for example, a disk shape, an apparatus used for transporting a semiconductor wafer or the like can be used for transporting the metal-filled microstructure 32, and the metal-filled microstructure 32 can be transported. No special device is required to handle the body 32.

[金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第2の例]
 図20~図24は本発明の実施形態の金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第2の例を工程順に示す模式的断面図である。なお、図20~図24において、図6に示す構成と同一構成物には、同一符号を付して、その詳細な説明は省略する。
[Second example of a method for manufacturing a metal-filled microstructure]
20 to 24 are schematic cross-sectional views showing a second example of the method for manufacturing a metal-filled microstructure according to the embodiment of the present invention in order of steps. In FIGS. 20 to 24, the same components as those shown in FIG. 6 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
 金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第2の例は、金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第1の例に比して、バルブ金属部材11の表面11aの外縁11bにだけマスク12(図4参照)を形成するのではなく、開口13aを有するマスク13をバルブ金属部材11の表面11aの外縁11bに配置する点が異なり、それ以外は、金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第1の例と同様にして、図6に示す金属充填部材21ならびに図18及び図19に示す金属充填微細構造体32を得ることができる。
 図20に示すように、バルブ金属部材11の表面11a上に、開口13aを有するマスク13を配置する。次に、図21に示すように、バルブ金属部材11の表面11aの外縁11bにマスク13を設置する。このとき、バルブ金属部材11の表面11aにおいて、マスク13の開口13aに相当する領域11cが陽極酸化膜11d(図22参照)の形成領域である。
 次に、バルブ金属部材11を電極とした陽極酸化処理を実施し、バルブ金属部材11のうち、マスク13で囲まれた領域11cに陽極酸化膜に形成する陽極酸化膜形成工程を行う。陽極酸化膜形成工程は、上述の金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第1の例と同じであるため、その詳細な説明は省略する。陽極酸化膜形成工程では、上述の領域11cに陽極酸化膜11dが形成されるが、マスク13下のバルブ金属部材11は陽極酸化されない。
The second example of the method for manufacturing the metal-filled microstructure is different from the first example of the method for manufacturing the metal-filled microstructure, and the mask 12 is only on the outer edge 11b of the surface 11a of the valve metal member 11 (FIG. 4). The first example of the method for manufacturing a metal-filled microstructure is different in that the mask 13 having the opening 13a is arranged on the outer edge 11b of the surface 11a of the valve metal member 11 instead of forming (see). In the same manner as above, the metal filling member 21 shown in FIG. 6 and the metal filling microstructure 32 shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 can be obtained.
As shown in FIG. 20, a mask 13 having an opening 13a is arranged on the surface 11a of the valve metal member 11. Next, as shown in FIG. 21, the mask 13 is installed on the outer edge 11b of the surface 11a of the valve metal member 11. At this time, on the surface 11a of the valve metal member 11, the region 11c corresponding to the opening 13a of the mask 13 is the region where the anodic oxide film 11d (see FIG. 22) is formed.
Next, an anodic oxidation treatment is carried out using the valve metal member 11 as an electrode, and an anodic oxide film forming step of forming the anodic oxide film on the region 11c surrounded by the mask 13 is performed in the valve metal member 11. Since the anodic oxide film forming step is the same as the first example of the above-mentioned method for producing a metal-filled microstructure, detailed description thereof will be omitted. In the anodic oxide film forming step, the anodic oxide film 11d is formed in the above-mentioned region 11c, but the valve metal member 11 under the mask 13 is not anodized.
 陽極酸化処理後、図23に示すように、マスク13を、バルブ金属部材11の表面11aから離す。次に、図23に示す陽極酸化膜11dに対して、バリア層を除去して、陽極酸化膜11dに、図24に示すように、厚み方向Dtに延在する貫通孔17を複数形成し、陽極酸化膜11dで構成された陽極酸化膜16を得る。
 次に、図24に示す構造体18に対して、陽極酸化膜16の複数の貫通孔17に、金属を充填する充填工程を実施する。構造体18に対して、陽極酸化膜16の複数の貫通孔17の内部に、陽極酸化膜16の表面16aを超えて金属を充填することにより、上述の図6に示すように金属層19が形成される。これにより、図6に示す金属充填部材21が形成される。金属層19の形成方法は、上述の金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第1の例と同じであるため、その詳細な説明は省略する。
After the anodizing treatment, as shown in FIG. 23, the mask 13 is separated from the surface 11a of the valve metal member 11. Next, the barrier layer is removed from the anodic oxide film 11d shown in FIG. 23, and a plurality of through holes 17 extending in the thickness direction Dt are formed in the anodic oxide film 11d as shown in FIG. 24. An anodic oxide film 16 composed of the anodic oxide film 11d is obtained.
Next, for the structure 18 shown in FIG. 24, a filling step of filling the plurality of through holes 17 of the anodic oxide film 16 with metal is performed. By filling the inside of the plurality of through holes 17 of the anodic oxide film 16 with metal beyond the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16 with respect to the structure 18, the metal layer 19 is formed as shown in FIG. It is formed. As a result, the metal filling member 21 shown in FIG. 6 is formed. Since the method for forming the metal layer 19 is the same as that of the first example of the method for manufacturing the metal-filled microstructure described above, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[Third example of a method for manufacturing a metal-filled microstructure]
25 to 29 are schematic cross-sectional views showing a third example of the packed microstructure according to the embodiment of the present invention in order of steps. In FIGS. 25 to 29, the same components as those shown in FIG. 6 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
 金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第3の例は、金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第1の例に比して、バルブ金属部材の表面11a全面を陽極酸化処理する点、陽極酸化膜を除去してフレーム部を形成する点が異なり、それ以外は、金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第1の例と同様にして、図6に示す金属充填部材21ならびに図18及び図19に示す金属充填微細構造体32を得ることができる。
 金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第3の例では、金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第1の例と同様に、バルブ金属部材11(図1参照)を用意する。次に、バルブ金属部材11の表面11a全面を陽極酸化処理し、バルブ金属部材11の底部11e(図3参照)を残して陽極酸化膜11d(図3参照)を形成する。更に陽極酸化膜11dに対して、バリア層を除去して、陽極酸化膜11dに、図25に示すように、厚み方向Dtに延在する貫通孔17を複数形成し、陽極酸化膜で構成された陽極酸化膜16を得る。陽極酸化膜16の下方にバルブ金属部材11(図3参照)の一部である底部11e(図3参照)が残存しており、底部11eがバルブ金属部材15の底部15e(図25参照)である。陽極酸化膜16は厚みHが200μm未満であることが好ましい。厚みHが200μm未満であれば、陽極酸化膜16とバルブ金属部材15とが同一面にあるとみなすことができる。
The third example of the method for manufacturing the metal-filled microstructure is anodized in that the entire surface 11a of the valve metal member is anodized as compared with the first example of the method for manufacturing the metal-filled microstructure. The metal-filled member 21 shown in FIG. 6 and FIGS. 18 and 19 are shown in the same manner as in the first example of the method for manufacturing the metal-filled microstructure, except that The metal-filled microstructure 32 shown can be obtained.
In the third example of the method for manufacturing the metal-filled microstructure, the valve metal member 11 (see FIG. 1) is prepared as in the first example of the method for manufacturing the metal-filled microstructure. Next, the entire surface 11a of the valve metal member 11 is anodized to form the anodic oxide film 11d (see FIG. 3), leaving the bottom 11e (see FIG. 3) of the valve metal member 11. Further, the barrier layer is removed from the anodic oxide film 11d, and a plurality of through holes 17 extending in the thickness direction Dt are formed in the anodic oxide film 11d as shown in FIG. 25, and the anodic oxide film is formed. Anodized film 16 is obtained. The bottom portion 11e (see FIG. 3), which is a part of the valve metal member 11 (see FIG. 3), remains below the anodic oxide film 16, and the bottom portion 11e is the bottom portion 15e (see FIG. 25) of the valve metal member 15. be. The anodic oxide film 16 preferably has a thickness HA of less than 200 μm. If the thickness HA is less than 200 μm, it can be considered that the anodic oxide film 16 and the valve metal member 15 are on the same surface.
 次に、図26に示すように、陽極酸化膜16の表面16aに、陽極酸化膜16の外縁16e以外にマスク14を配置する。この状態で、陽極酸化膜16が溶解し、かつバルブ金属部材15が溶解しない特性を有する液体を用いて、陽極酸化膜16の外縁16eを溶解する。これにより、図27に示すように、バルブ金属部材15の底部15eが露出する。
 なお、マスク14は、陽極酸化膜16が溶解し、かつバルブ金属部材15が溶解しない特性を有する液体に対して溶解しないものであれば、特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、レジスト膜が用いられる。マスク14に用いるレジスト膜は、陽極酸化膜16の表面16a全面にレジスト膜を形成した後、フォトリソグラフィ法を用いて、陽極酸化膜16の外縁16eのレジスト膜を除去して形成することができる。
 上述の陽極酸化膜16が溶解し、かつバルブ金属部材15が溶解しない特性を有する液体としては、酸化アルミニウム(Al)を溶解する酸水溶液又はアルカリ水溶液が用いられる。具体的には、例えば、塩化銅を含む塩酸水溶液が用いられる。
Next, as shown in FIG. 26, a mask 14 is arranged on the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16 in addition to the outer edge 16e of the anodic oxide film 16. In this state, the outer edge 16e of the anodic oxide film 16 is dissolved by using a liquid having a property that the anodic oxide film 16 is dissolved and the valve metal member 15 is not dissolved. As a result, as shown in FIG. 27, the bottom portion 15e of the valve metal member 15 is exposed.
The mask 14 is not particularly limited as long as it does not dissolve in a liquid having a characteristic that the anodized film 16 dissolves and the valve metal member 15 does not dissolve. For example, a resist film is used. Be done. The resist film used for the mask 14 can be formed by forming a resist film on the entire surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16 and then removing the resist film on the outer edge 16e of the anodic oxide film 16 by using a photolithography method. ..
As the liquid having the property that the anodized film 16 is dissolved and the valve metal member 15 is not dissolved, an acid aqueous solution or an alkaline aqueous solution that dissolves aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3) is used. Specifically, for example, an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution containing copper chloride is used.
 次に、図28に示すように、陽極酸化膜16の表面16aからマスク14を除去する。これにより、バルブ金属部材15と、陽極酸化膜16とを有する構造体18を得る。
 陽極酸化膜16の表面16aと、フレーム部15dの上面との差、すなわち、陽極酸化膜16の厚みHは200μm未満である。このため、陽極酸化膜16の表面16aと、フレーム部15dの上面とは略同一面にある。
 なお、マスク14は、例えば、レジスト膜であれば、アッシングを用いて除去することができる。
Next, as shown in FIG. 28, the mask 14 is removed from the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16. As a result, a structure 18 having the valve metal member 15 and the anodic oxide film 16 is obtained.
The difference between the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16 and the upper surface of the frame portion 15d, that is, the thickness HA of the anodic oxide film 16 is less than 200 μm. Therefore, the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16 and the upper surface of the frame portion 15d are substantially on the same surface.
If the mask 14 is a resist film, for example, it can be removed by ashing.
 次に、図28に示す構造体18に対して、陽極酸化膜16の複数の貫通孔17に、金属を充填する充填工程を実施する。構造体18に対して、陽極酸化膜16の複数の貫通孔17の内部に、陽極酸化膜16の表面16aを超えて金属を充填することにより、図29に示すように、金属層19aが形成される。これにより、金属充填部材21を得る。このとき、金属層19aを形成することにより、導電性を有する導通路20が形成されて、金属充填部材21が形成される。金属層19aの形成方法は、上述の金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第1の例の金属層19の形成方法と同じであるため、その詳細な説明は省略する。
 なお、マスク14を配置して陽極酸化膜16の外縁16eを溶解したが、これに限定されるものではなく、陽極酸化膜16の外縁16eを、研削又はレーザー光等により物理的に削りとってもよい。また、陽極酸化膜16の外縁16eに、例えば、陽極酸化膜が溶解し、かつバルブ金属部材が溶解しない特性を有する液体を、インクジェット法を用いて吹き付けて、陽極酸化膜16の外縁16eを選択的に溶解させてもよい。
Next, for the structure 18 shown in FIG. 28, a filling step of filling the plurality of through holes 17 of the anodic oxide film 16 with metal is performed. As shown in FIG. 29, a metal layer 19a is formed in the structure 18 by filling the inside of the plurality of through holes 17 of the anodic oxide film 16 with a metal beyond the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16. Will be done. As a result, the metal filling member 21 is obtained. At this time, by forming the metal layer 19a, the conductive passage 20 is formed, and the metal filling member 21 is formed. Since the method for forming the metal layer 19a is the same as the method for forming the metal layer 19 in the first example of the method for manufacturing the metal-filled microstructure described above, detailed description thereof will be omitted.
The mask 14 is arranged to dissolve the outer edge 16e of the anodic oxide film 16, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the outer edge 16e of the anodic oxide film 16 may be physically scraped by grinding, laser light, or the like. .. Further, for example, a liquid having a property that the anodic oxide film is dissolved and the valve metal member is not dissolved is sprayed onto the outer edge 16e of the anodic oxide film 16 by using an inkjet method to select the outer edge 16e of the anodic oxide film 16. May be dissolved.
[金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第4の例]
 図30~図34は本発明の実施形態の金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第4の例を工程順に示す模式的断面図である。なお、図30~図34において、図6に示す構成と同一構成物には、同一符号を付して、その詳細な説明は省略する。
[Fourth example of a method for manufacturing a metal-filled microstructure]
30 to 34 are schematic cross-sectional views showing a fourth example of the method for manufacturing a metal-filled microstructure according to the embodiment of the present invention in order of steps. In FIGS. 30 to 34, the same components as those shown in FIG. 6 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
 金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第4の例は、金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第1の例に比して、絶縁支持体61の表面61aに部分的に、導電性を有する導電層62が形成された電極体60を用いてバルブ金属部材11を陽極酸化処理する点が異なり、それ以外は、金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第1の例と同様にして、図6に示す金属充填部材21ならびに図18及び図19に示す金属充填微細構造体32を得ることができる。 The fourth example of the method for manufacturing the metal-filled microstructure has conductivity partially having conductivity on the surface 61a of the insulating support 61 as compared with the first example of the method for manufacturing the metal-filled microstructure. The difference is that the valve metal member 11 is anodized using the electrode body 60 on which the layer 62 is formed. The metal-filled member 21 shown and the metal-filled microstructure 32 shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 can be obtained.
 金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第4の例では、図30に示すように、まず、矩形状の絶縁支持体61の表面61aに部分的に、導電性を有する導電層62が形成された電極体60を用意する。電極体60は、陽極酸化処理の際の電極として用いるものである。
 導電層62は、絶縁支持体61の表面61aにレジスト層63を形成し、例えば、フォトリソグラフィ法を用いたパターニングにより、部分的にレジスト層63を取り除く。次に、例えば、レジスト層63上にシード層(図示せず)を形成し、めっきにより導電層62を形成する。導電層62を形成する際、平坦化処理により、レジスト層63と導電層62との表面を平坦にする。なお、導電層62は、めっきにより形成したが、導電層62の形成方法は、特に限定されるものではない。
In the fourth example of the method for manufacturing a metal-filled microstructure, first, as shown in FIG. 30, a conductive layer 62 having conductivity is partially formed on the surface 61a of the rectangular insulating support 61. The electrode body 60 is prepared. The electrode body 60 is used as an electrode in the anodizing treatment.
The conductive layer 62 forms a resist layer 63 on the surface 61a of the insulating support 61, and the resist layer 63 is partially removed by patterning using, for example, a photolithography method. Next, for example, a seed layer (not shown) is formed on the resist layer 63, and the conductive layer 62 is formed by plating. When the conductive layer 62 is formed, the surfaces of the resist layer 63 and the conductive layer 62 are flattened by a flattening treatment. Although the conductive layer 62 is formed by plating, the method for forming the conductive layer 62 is not particularly limited.
 次に、図31に示すように、電極体60の導電層62を覆うバルブ金属部材11を設ける。バルブ金属部材11は、金属充填部材21の陽極酸化膜16(図33参照)、すなわち、陽極酸化膜の厚み、又は最終的に得られる金属充填微細構造体32(図34参照)の陽極酸化膜16の厚み、加工する装置等に応じて大きさ及び厚みが適宜決定されるものである。バルブ金属部材11は、例えば、矩形状の板材である。
 バルブ金属部材11としては、上述のようにアルミニウム基板が用いられる。
 なお、バルブ金属部材11は、例えば、アルミニウム基板を用意してもよいが、電極体60上にバルブ金属部材11を形成してもよい。この場合、バルブ金属層形成工程では、例えば、導電層62の表面62aとレジスト層63の表面63aに、例えば、蒸着法によりバルブ金属部材11として、アルミニウム基板を形成する。
Next, as shown in FIG. 31, a valve metal member 11 that covers the conductive layer 62 of the electrode body 60 is provided. The valve metal member 11 is the anodic oxide film 16 of the metal filling member 21 (see FIG. 33), that is, the thickness of the anodic oxide film, or the anodic oxide film of the finally obtained metal-filled microstructure 32 (see FIG. 34). The size and thickness of the 16 are appropriately determined according to the thickness, the apparatus for processing, and the like. The valve metal member 11 is, for example, a rectangular plate material.
As the valve metal member 11, an aluminum substrate is used as described above.
As the valve metal member 11, for example, an aluminum substrate may be prepared, but the valve metal member 11 may be formed on the electrode body 60. In this case, in the valve metal layer forming step, an aluminum substrate is formed on the surface 62a of the conductive layer 62 and the surface 63a of the resist layer 63, for example, as the valve metal member 11 by a vapor deposition method.
 次に、導電層62を電極とした陽極酸化処理を実施し、バルブ金属部材11のうち、導電層62上の領域のバルブ金属部材11を陽極酸化膜に形成する陽極酸化膜形成工程を行う。なお、陽極酸化膜は絶縁性基材である。バルブ金属部材11を陽極酸化処理することにより陽極酸化膜11dが形成される。
 陽極酸化膜形成工程では、導電層62を陰極の電極とし、バルブ金属部材11を陽極の電極として、陽極酸化処理を実施する。これにより、導電層62上のバルブ金属部材11が陽極酸化されて、図32に示すようにバルブ金属部材15の領域15cに陽極酸化膜11dが形成される。陽極酸化処理において、例えば、導電層62に引出し電極が設けられていれば、引出し電極を利用して導電層62に直流電流を印加する。
Next, an anodic oxidation treatment is carried out using the conductive layer 62 as an electrode, and an anodic oxide film forming step of forming the valve metal member 11 in the region on the conductive layer 62 on the anodic oxide film is performed. The anodic oxide film is an insulating base material. The anodic oxide film 11d is formed by anodizing the valve metal member 11.
In the anodic oxide film forming step, the anodic oxidation treatment is carried out using the conductive layer 62 as the electrode of the cathode and the valve metal member 11 as the electrode of the anode. As a result, the valve metal member 11 on the conductive layer 62 is anodized, and an anodic oxide film 11d is formed in the region 15c of the valve metal member 15 as shown in FIG. In the anodizing treatment, for example, if the conductive layer 62 is provided with an extraction electrode, a direct current is applied to the conductive layer 62 by using the extraction electrode.
 陽極酸化処理では、上述のように電極体60の導電層62を電極として用いており、電極体60の導電層62上のバルブ金属部材11(図31参照)が、陽極酸化膜11dが形成される領域11c(図31参照)となり、レジスト層63上のバルブ金属部材11(図31参照)がバルブ金属部材15の外縁15bであり、フレーム部15dになる。
 上述の領域11cに陽極酸化膜11dが形成されるが、レジスト層63上のバルブ金属部材11は陽極酸化されない。このように、バルブ金属部材11が全て陽極酸化膜11dにならず、陽極酸化処理後でもバルブ金属部材11のままの領域がある。これにより、バルブ金属部材15の外縁15bに、バルブ金属部材11で構成された、バルブ金属部材15のフレーム部15dが配置される。フレーム部15dより囲まれる領域15cに陽極酸化膜16として、陽極酸化膜11d(図32参照)が形成される。
 陽極酸化処理では、導電層62上のバルブ金属部材11は全て陽極酸化膜11dにできるが、陽極酸化処理時間等を調整することにより、導電層62上のバルブ金属部材11の一部を陽極酸化膜11dに形成することができる。図32では導電層62と、陽極酸化膜である陽極酸化膜16との間にバルブ金属部材15が存在する。
 なお、バルブ金属部材11がアルミニウムで構成されているため、酸化膜として、陽極酸化膜11dが形成され、陽極酸化膜11dはAl膜で構成される。
In the anodizing treatment, the conductive layer 62 of the electrode body 60 is used as an electrode as described above, and the valve metal member 11 (see FIG. 31) on the conductive layer 62 of the electrode body 60 is formed with the anodic oxide film 11d. The region 11c (see FIG. 31) is formed, and the valve metal member 11 (see FIG. 31) on the resist layer 63 is the outer edge 15b of the valve metal member 15 and becomes the frame portion 15d.
The anodic oxide film 11d is formed in the above-mentioned region 11c, but the valve metal member 11 on the resist layer 63 is not anodized. As described above, all the valve metal members 11 do not become the anodic oxide film 11d, and there is a region where the valve metal member 11 remains even after the anodizing treatment. As a result, the frame portion 15d of the valve metal member 15 composed of the valve metal member 11 is arranged on the outer edge 15b of the valve metal member 15. An anodic oxide film 11d (see FIG. 32) is formed as the anodic oxide film 16 in the region 15c surrounded by the frame portion 15d.
In the anodizing treatment, all the valve metal members 11 on the conductive layer 62 can be formed into an anodic oxide film 11d, but by adjusting the anodizing treatment time and the like, a part of the valve metal member 11 on the conductive layer 62 is anodized. It can be formed on the membrane 11d. In FIG. 32, the valve metal member 15 exists between the conductive layer 62 and the anodic oxide film 16 which is the anodic oxide film.
Since the valve metal member 11 is made of aluminum, an anodic oxide film 11d is formed as an oxide film, and the anodic oxide film 11d is made of an Al 2 O 3 film.
 陽極酸化膜11dは形成した時点で、複数のマイクロポアが存在する。しかしながら、複数のマイクロポアのうち、厚み方向Dtに貫通していないマイクロポアもある。また、マイクロポアの底部にはバリア層(図示せず)が存在する。このため、図32に示す陽極酸化膜11dに対して、バリア層を除去して、陽極酸化膜11dに、図33に示すように、厚み方向Dtに延在する貫通孔17を複数形成し、陽極酸化膜11dで構成された陽極酸化膜16を得る。 When the anodic oxide film 11d is formed, there are a plurality of micropores. However, among the plurality of micropores, some micropores do not penetrate in the thickness direction Dt. In addition, there is a barrier layer (not shown) at the bottom of the micropores. Therefore, the barrier layer is removed from the anodic oxide film 11d shown in FIG. 32, and a plurality of through holes 17 extending in the thickness direction Dt are formed in the anodic oxide film 11d as shown in FIG. 33. An anodic oxide film 16 composed of the anodic oxide film 11d is obtained.
 以上の工程により、バルブ金属部材15の外縁15bに配置されたフレーム部15dで囲まれる領域15cに、複数の細孔(貫通孔17)を有する陽極酸化膜16(陽極酸化膜)を形成することにより、バルブ金属部材15と、陽極酸化膜16(陽極酸化膜)とを有する構造体18を得る。例えば、図33に示すように、バルブ金属部材15の表面15aに、陽極酸化膜16(陽極酸化膜)が形成され、陽極酸化膜16の周囲にフレーム部15dがある。また、図示はしないが陽極酸化膜16の表面16aと、フレーム部15dの上面とは、略同一面である。
 上述のように、図32に示す陽極酸化膜形成工程と、図33に示す、厚み方向Dtに延在する貫通孔17を複数形成する工程とが、構造体18を得る形成工程である。
Through the above steps, an anodic oxide film 16 (anodide film) having a plurality of pores (through holes 17) is formed in the region 15c surrounded by the frame portion 15d arranged on the outer edge 15b of the valve metal member 15. A structure 18 having a valve metal member 15 and an anodic oxide film 16 (anodized film) is obtained. For example, as shown in FIG. 33, an anodic oxide film 16 (anodized film) is formed on the surface 15a of the valve metal member 15, and a frame portion 15d is provided around the anodic oxide film 16. Although not shown, the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16 and the upper surface of the frame portion 15d are substantially the same surface.
As described above, the anodic oxide film forming step shown in FIG. 32 and the step of forming a plurality of through holes 17 extending in the thickness direction Dt shown in FIG. 33 are forming steps for obtaining the structure 18.
 次に、図34に示すように、構造体18に対して、陽極酸化膜16の複数の貫通孔17に、金属を充填する充填工程を実施する。構造体18に対して、陽極酸化膜16の複数の貫通孔17の内部に、陽極酸化膜16の表面16aを超えて金属を充填することにより、上述の金属層19が形成される。これにより、金属充填部材21を得る。このとき、金属層19を形成することにより、導電性を有する導通路20が形成される。金属層19の形成方法は、上述の金属充填微細構造体の製造方法の第1の例と同じであるため、その詳細な説明は省略する。
 充填工程では、陽極酸化膜16の複数の貫通孔17の内部に金属を充填し、かつ図34に示すように、構造体18の表面、すなわち、金属充填部材21のフレーム部15d上及び陽極酸化膜16の表面16a上に、金属層19を形成することにより、金属を複数の貫通孔17に充填する。この場合、金属層19では、上述のようにフレーム部15d上に存在する部分の厚みδ(図2参照)を2μm~100μmとする。
 なお、例えば、めっき時間を長くすることにより、金属層19の厚みδを厚くすることができる。充填工程では、陽極酸化膜16の表面16aを超えて、金属を充填することにより、フレーム部15d上にも金属層19が形成される。
 以下、金属充填微細構造体の構成の一例について説明する。
Next, as shown in FIG. 34, a filling step of filling the plurality of through holes 17 of the anodic oxide film 16 with metal is performed on the structure 18. The above-mentioned metal layer 19 is formed by filling the inside of the plurality of through holes 17 of the anodic oxide film 16 with metal beyond the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16 with respect to the structure 18. As a result, the metal filling member 21 is obtained. At this time, by forming the metal layer 19, the conductive passage 20 having conductivity is formed. Since the method for forming the metal layer 19 is the same as that of the first example of the method for manufacturing the metal-filled microstructure described above, detailed description thereof will be omitted.
In the filling step, the inside of the plurality of through holes 17 of the anodic oxide film 16 is filled with metal, and as shown in FIG. 34, the surface of the structure 18, that is, on the frame portion 15d of the metal filling member 21, and the anodic oxidation. By forming a metal layer 19 on the surface 16a of the film 16, the metal is filled into the plurality of through holes 17. In this case, in the metal layer 19, the thickness δ (see FIG. 2) of the portion existing on the frame portion 15d is set to 2 μm to 100 μm as described above.
For example, the thickness δ of the metal layer 19 can be increased by lengthening the plating time. In the filling step, the metal layer 19 is also formed on the frame portion 15d by filling the metal beyond the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16.
Hereinafter, an example of the configuration of the metal-filled microstructure will be described.

FIG. 36 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IB-IB of FIG. 35.
 図35及び図36に示す金属充填微細構造体32は、上述のように絶縁性基材である陽極酸化膜16と、陽極酸化膜16の厚み方向Dtに貫通した貫通孔17と、貫通孔17の内部に充填された金属で構成された複数の導通路20とを有する。複数の導通路20は、互いに電気的に絶縁された状態で設けられている。更に、例えば、陽極酸化膜16の表面16a及び裏面16bに設けられた樹脂層26を具備する。
 ここで、「互いに電気的に絶縁された状態」とは、陽極酸化膜16の内部に存在している各導通路20が陽極酸化膜16の内部において互いに導通性が十分に低い状態であることを意味する。
 金属充填微細構造体32は、導通路20が互いに電気的に絶縁されており、陽極酸化膜16の厚み方向Dtと直交する方向xには導電性が十分に低く、厚み方向Dtに導電性を有する、異方導電性を示す部材である。金属充填微細構造体32は厚み方向Dtを、例えば、後述の電子素子の積層方向に一致させて配置される。
 導通路20は、図35及び図36に示すように、互いに電気的に絶縁された状態で陽極酸化膜16を厚み方向Dtに貫通して設けられている。
In the metal-filled microstructure 32 shown in FIGS. 35 and 36, as described above, the anodic oxide film 16 which is an insulating base material, the through hole 17 penetrating the anodic oxide film 16 in the thickness direction Dt, and the through hole 17 It has a plurality of conduction paths 20 made of metal filled in the inside of the above. The plurality of conduction paths 20 are provided in a state of being electrically insulated from each other. Further, for example, the resin layer 26 provided on the front surface 16a and the back surface 16b of the anodic oxide film 16 is provided.
Here, the "state of being electrically insulated from each other" means that the conduction paths 20 existing inside the anodic oxide film 16 are sufficiently low in conductivity with each other inside the anodic oxide film 16. Means.

Further, the metal-filled microstructure 32 preferably has a TTV (Total Thickness Variation) of 10 μm or less. Since the front surface 16a and the back surface 16b of the anodic oxide film 16 are polished, the thickness of the anodic oxide film 16 is thicker than the thickness h of the metal-filled microstructure 32, for example, it exceeds 60 μm, but is preferably about 40 μm from the viewpoint of brittleness.
 ここで、金属充填微細構造体32の厚みh及び陽極酸化膜16の厚みは、金属充填微細構造体32及び陽極酸化膜16を、それぞれ厚み方向に対して集束イオンビーム(Focused Ion Beam:FIB)で切削加工し、その断面を電解放出形走査型電子顕微鏡により20万倍の倍率で観察し、金属充填微細構造体32及び陽極酸化膜16の輪郭形状を、それぞれ取得し、厚みhに相当する領域について10点測定した平均値のことである。

Here, the thickness h of the metal-filled microstructure 32 and the thickness of the anodized film 16 are such that the metal-filled microstructure 32 and the anodized film 16 are focused ion beams (FIB) in the thickness direction, respectively. The cross section of the metal-filled microstructure 32 and the anodized film 16 was obtained at a magnification of 200,000 times with an electrolytically-release scanning electron microscope, and the contour shapes of the metal-filled microstructure 32 and the anodized film 16 were obtained and corresponded to the thickness h.

 金属充填微細構造体32は、例えば、異方導電性を示す異方導電性部材として利用することができる。この場合、半導体素子と半導体素子とを、金属充填微細構造体32を介して接合して、半導体素子と半導体素子とを電気的に接続した電子素子を得ることができる。電子素子において、金属充填微細構造体32はTSV(Through Silicon Via)の機能を果たす。
 これ以外に、金属充填微細構造体32を用いて3つ以上の半導体素子を電気的に接続した電子素子とすることもできる。金属充填微細構造体32を用いることで3次元実装ができる。なお、半導体素子を接合する数は、特に限定されるものではなく、電子素子の機能、及び電子素子に要求される性能に応じて適宜決定されるものである。
 電子素子との接合は熱加圧接合を用いることができる。還元性雰囲気下で接合させれば、温度250℃以下で容易に金属電極と突出部が接合されるので、デバイスへの熱影響を小さくすることができる。
The metal-filled microstructure 32 can be used, for example, as an anisotropically conductive member exhibiting anisotropic conductivity. In this case, the semiconductor element and the semiconductor element are joined via the metal-filled microstructure 32 to obtain an electronic element in which the semiconductor element and the semiconductor element are electrically connected. In the electronic device, the metal-filled microstructure 32 functions as a TSV (Through Silicon Via).
In addition to this, an electronic element in which three or more semiconductor elements are electrically connected by using the metal-filled microstructure 32 can also be used. Three-dimensional mounting is possible by using the metal-filled microstructure 32. The number of semiconductor elements to be bonded is not particularly limited, and is appropriately determined according to the function of the electronic element and the performance required for the electronic element.
Thermal pressure bonding can be used for bonding with the electronic element. When bonded in a reducing atmosphere, the metal electrode and the protruding portion are easily bonded at a temperature of 250 ° C. or lower, so that the heat effect on the device can be reduced.
 金属充填微細構造体32を用いることにより、電子素子の大きさを小さくでき実装面積を小さくできる。また、金属充填微細構造体32の厚みを短くすることにより、半導体素子間の配線長を短くでき、信号の遅延を抑制し、電子素子の処理速度を向上させることができる。半導体素子間の配線長を短くすることで消費電力も抑制することができる。
 金属充填微細構造体32は、上述のように陽極酸化膜16と導通路20とが、陽極酸化膜16の表面16aで同一面の状態になるように研磨しているため、形状精度が高く、また、上述のように導通路20の突出部20aの高さを厳密に制御することができるため、半導体素子と半導体素子との電気的な接続の信頼性が優れる。
 また、金属充填微細構造体32は金属が密に充填されているため、樹脂材料に比べ熱伝導性が高い。接続した電極間、半導体素子間の上下方向の熱伝導はもちろん、平面方向への熱拡散も大きいため、放熱が必要な部材に特に有用である。金属充填微細構造体32は、上述の半導体素子以外にメタルベース基板の放熱等にも用いることができ、放熱フィンの接続にも有効である。また、多層接続による熱のこもりが問題とされるメモリ等の接合には非常に有効である。
By using the metal-filled microstructure 32, the size of the electronic element can be reduced and the mounting area can be reduced. Further, by shortening the thickness of the metal-filled microstructure 32, the wiring length between the semiconductor elements can be shortened, the signal delay can be suppressed, and the processing speed of the electronic element can be improved. Power consumption can also be suppressed by shortening the wiring length between semiconductor elements.
Since the metal-filled microstructure 32 is polished so that the anodic oxide film 16 and the conduction path 20 are flush with each other on the surface 16a of the anodic oxide film 16 as described above, the shape accuracy is high. Further, since the height of the protruding portion 20a of the conduction path 20 can be strictly controlled as described above, the reliability of the electrical connection between the semiconductor element and the semiconductor element is excellent.
Further, since the metal-filled microstructure 32 is densely packed with metal, it has higher thermal conductivity than the resin material. Not only heat conduction in the vertical direction between connected electrodes and semiconductor elements, but also heat diffusion in the plane direction is large, so it is particularly useful for members that require heat dissipation. The metal-filled microstructure 32 can be used for heat dissipation of a metal base substrate in addition to the above-mentioned semiconductor element, and is also effective for connecting heat dissipation fins. Further, it is very effective for joining a memory or the like, which has a problem of heat retention due to multi-layer connection.

The distance between the conduction paths in the anodic oxide film 16 is preferably 5 nm to 800 nm, more preferably 10 nm to 200 nm, and even more preferably 20 nm to 60 nm. When the distance between the conduction paths in the anodic oxide film 16 is within this range, the anodic oxide film 16 sufficiently functions as an insulating partition wall.
Here, the distance between the conduction paths means the width w between the adjacent conduction paths, and the cross section of the metal-filled microstructure 32 is observed by an electrolytic emission scanning electron microscope at a magnification of 200,000 times and adjacent to each other.

 貫通孔17の平均直径dは、走査型電子顕微鏡を用いて陽極酸化膜16の表面を真上から倍率100~10000倍で撮影し撮影画像を得る。撮影画像において、周囲が環状に連なっている貫通孔を少なくとも20個抽出し、その直径を測定し開口径とし、これら開口径の平均値を貫通孔の平均直径として算出する。
 なお、倍率は、貫通孔を20個以上抽出できる撮影画像が得られるように上述した範囲の倍率を適宜選択することができる。また、開口径は、貫通孔部分の端部間の距離の最大値を測定した。すなわち、貫通孔の開口部の形状は略円形状に限定はされないので、開口部の形状が非円形状の場合には、貫通孔部分の端部間の距離の最大値を開口径とする。従って、例えば、2以上の貫通孔が一体化したような形状の貫通孔の場合にも、これを1つの貫通孔とみなし、貫通孔部分の端部間の距離の最大値を開口径とする。

In the photographed image, at least 20 through holes having a ring-shaped periphery are extracted, the diameters thereof are measured and used as the opening diameter, and the average value of these opening diameters is calculated as the average diameter of the through holes.
As the magnification, the magnification in the above range can be appropriately selected so that a photographed image capable of extracting 20 or more through holes can be obtained. For the opening diameter, the maximum value of the distance between the ends of the through hole portion was measured. That is, since the shape of the opening of the through hole is not limited to a substantially circular shape, when the shape of the opening is a non-circular shape, the maximum value of the distance between the ends of the through hole portion is set as the opening diameter. Therefore, for example, even in the case of a through hole having a shape in which two or more through holes are integrated, this is regarded as one through hole, and the maximum value of the distance between the ends of the through hole portion is set as the opening diameter. ..

 次に、保持工程について説明する。
 [保持工程]
 図37は本発明の実施形態の保持工程に用いられる容器の一例を示す模式的斜視図であり、図38は本発明の実施形態の保持工程の収納容器の一例を示す模式的断面図である。
 保持工程において、保持とは、静置した状態、及び静置した状態に限らず、搬送等の移動することも含まれる。
Next, the holding process will be described.
[Holding process]
FIG. 37 is a schematic perspective view showing an example of a container used in the holding step of the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 38 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of a storage container of the holding step of the embodiment of the present invention. ..
In the holding step, holding is not limited to a stationary state and a stationary state, but also includes movement such as transportation.
 上述のように保持工程は、充填工程により構造体18(図5参照)の複数の貫通孔17(細孔)に金属を充填して得られた金属充填部材21(図6参照)を、相対湿度10~30%の環境に24時間以上さらす工程のことである。上述の保持工程により、貫通孔(細孔)を有する酸化膜(陽極酸化膜16)において、安定した絶縁抵抗が得られる。相対湿度が40%を超えると、絶縁抵抗が変動し、安定した絶縁抵抗が得られない。
 一方、相対湿度を10%未満に維持するには専用設備が必要になる等、湿度の管理が難しい。
 また、保持時間についても、24時間未満では、絶縁抵抗が変動し、安定した絶縁抵抗が得られない。
As described above, in the holding step, the metal filling member 21 (see FIG. 6) obtained by filling the plurality of through holes 17 (pores) of the structure 18 (see FIG. 5) with metal by the filling step is relative to each other. It is a process of exposing to an environment with a humidity of 10 to 30% for 24 hours or more. By the above-mentioned holding step, stable insulation resistance can be obtained in the oxide film (anodic oxide film 16) having through holes (pores). If the relative humidity exceeds 40%, the insulation resistance fluctuates and stable insulation resistance cannot be obtained.
On the other hand, it is difficult to control the humidity because a dedicated facility is required to maintain the relative humidity below 10%.
Further, regarding the holding time, if it is less than 24 hours, the insulation resistance fluctuates and stable insulation resistance cannot be obtained.
 保持工程では、金属充填部材21を相対湿度10~30%の環境に24時間以上にさらすことであれば、保管場所等は特に限定されるものではない。例えば、保持工程において、金属充填部材21は、図37に示す容器40に収納されて保管される。容器40は、容器本体42と蓋44とを有する。容器40では、蓋44で容器本体42の開口42aが閉塞され、容器本体42が密閉される。
 また、保持工程における温度は、25℃以上であればよく、40℃~50℃であることが好ましい、
In the holding step, the storage location and the like are not particularly limited as long as the metal filling member 21 is exposed to an environment having a relative humidity of 10 to 30% for 24 hours or more. For example, in the holding step, the metal filling member 21 is stored and stored in the container 40 shown in FIG. 37. The container 40 has a container body 42 and a lid 44. In the container 40, the opening 42a of the container body 42 is closed by the lid 44, and the container body 42 is sealed.
The temperature in the holding step may be 25 ° C. or higher, preferably 40 ° C. to 50 ° C.
 容器内部42bには、例えば、図示はしないが棚が設けられており、複数の金属充填部材21が、棚に1つずつ離間して収納される。金属充填部材21が接触して積層されると、金属充填部材21が振動等により、金属充填部材21同士が擦れた際に金属充填部材21が損傷する虞があるため、金属充填部材21は上述のように離間して収納することが好ましい。1つずつ離間して収納することができれば、棚に限定されるものではなく、棚に代えてスペーサでもよい。
 なお、金属充填部材21は、上述のように矩形状であり、容器40としては、矩形状の基板を収納する各種の容器を用いることができる。
 金属充填部材21が一般的な半導体ウエハの形状と同じく、円形状である場合、容器40としては、半導体ウエハを収納する各種の容器を用いることができる。容器40としては、半導体ウエハの搬送容を用いることができ、例えば、フロントオープニングアンファインドポッド(FOUP)及びフロントオープニングシッピングボックス(FOSB)等を用いることができる。
For example, a shelf (not shown) is provided inside the container 42b, and a plurality of metal filling members 21 are housed in the shelves one by one. If the metal filling members 21 are in contact with each other and laminated, the metal filling members 21 may be damaged when the metal filling members 21 rub against each other due to vibration or the like. Therefore, the metal filling member 21 is described above. It is preferable to store them separately as in. As long as they can be stored one by one, the shelves are not limited to the shelves, and spacers may be used instead of the shelves.
The metal filling member 21 has a rectangular shape as described above, and as the container 40, various containers for accommodating the rectangular substrate can be used.
When the metal filling member 21 has a circular shape similar to the shape of a general semiconductor wafer, various containers for accommodating the semiconductor wafer can be used as the container 40. As the container 40, a transfer capacity of a semiconductor wafer can be used, and for example, a front opening unfinded pod (FOUP), a front opening shipping box (FOSB), and the like can be used.
 保持工程では、例えば、図38に示すように、収納容器50と、収納容器50の内部50aの温度及び湿度を調整する調整部52を用いる。
 収納容器50には、内部50aの温度及び湿度の変化を記録するセンサ53が設けられており、センサ53からの温度の情報及び湿度の情報に基づいて、調整部52が、少なくとも収納容器50の内部50aの湿度を調整する。調整部52による収納容器50の内部50aの温度及び湿度の調整には、例えば、センサ53からの温度の情報及び湿度の情報に基づくフィードバック制御が用いられる。
In the holding step, for example, as shown in FIG. 38, a storage container 50 and an adjusting unit 52 that adjusts the temperature and humidity of the inside 50a of the storage container 50 are used.
The storage container 50 is provided with a sensor 53 that records changes in the temperature and humidity of the inside 50a, and the adjusting unit 52 is at least the storage container 50 based on the temperature information and the humidity information from the sensor 53. Adjust the humidity inside 50a. For the adjustment of the temperature and humidity inside the storage container 50 by the adjusting unit 52, for example, feedback control based on the temperature information and the humidity information from the sensor 53 is used.
 調整部52は、例えば、湿度を調整することができれば、特に限定されるものではない。公知の空調機器が利用可能である。また、調整部52は収納容器50と一体でも、別体でもよい。
 保持工程では、相対湿度10~30%の環境に24時間以上さらせばよいため、調整部52は少なくとも温度を調整できる機能を有していればよく、収納容器50の内部50aを換気するファンでもよい。
 なお、湿度に関しては、吸湿剤を収納容器50の内部50aに設けることで調整するようにしてもよく、吸湿剤を容器40内に設け、調整部52では温度だけ調整するようにしてもよい。
 センサ53は、保管期間中、温度及び湿度を計測することができれば、特に限定されるものではないが、温度情報及び湿度情報が時刻と一緒に時系列で記録できるもの、すなわち、時間履歴で記録できることが好ましい。また、センサ53は有線式でも無線式でもよい。
The adjusting unit 52 is not particularly limited as long as the humidity can be adjusted, for example. Known air conditioning equipment is available. Further, the adjusting unit 52 may be integrated with the storage container 50 or may be a separate body.
In the holding process, the environment may be exposed to an environment with a relative humidity of 10 to 30% for 24 hours or more. Therefore, the adjusting unit 52 only needs to have a function of adjusting the temperature, and even a fan that ventilates the inside 50a of the storage container 50. good.
The humidity may be adjusted by providing a hygroscopic agent inside the storage container 50 50a, or the hygroscopic agent may be provided in the container 40 and only the temperature may be adjusted by the adjusting unit 52.
The sensor 53 is not particularly limited as long as it can measure the temperature and humidity during the storage period, but the temperature information and the humidity information can be recorded in time series together with the time, that is, it is recorded in the time history. It is preferable to be able to do it. Further, the sensor 53 may be a wired type or a wireless type.
 保持工程では、収納容器50の内部50aに複数の容器40を収納し、収納した状態で、調整部52を動作させて、収納容器50の内部50aにある容器40の金属充填部材21の相対湿度を10~40%に保持する。 In the holding step, a plurality of containers 40 are stored in the inner 50a of the storage container 50, and the adjusting unit 52 is operated in the stored state to operate the relative humidity of the metal filling member 21 of the container 40 in the inner 50a of the storage container 50. Is held at 10-40%.
 また、調整部52により、収納容器50の内部50aについて、温度25℃における絶対湿度50%以下の水分量(g/cm)の環境となるように調整することが好ましい。なお、温度25℃における絶対湿度50%以下の水分量(g/cm)は、11.52(g/cm)である。収納容器50の内部50aの湿度を下げることにより、収納容器50の内部50aの水分量を少なくできる。
 この場合、例えば、温度と湿度及び絶対湿度との関係を調整部52に記憶させておき、センサ53からの温度の情報と湿度の情報に基づき、収納容器50の内部50aの水分量を求める。求めた水分量に基づき、調整部52で温度と湿度を調整するようにしてもよい。
 収納容器50の内部50aの上述の水分量は、上述のように吸湿剤を用いて調整することができる。
Further, it is preferable that the adjusting unit 52 adjusts the inside 50a of the storage container 50 so that the environment has a water content (g / cm 3 ) of 50% or less in absolute humidity at a temperature of 25 ° C. The amount of water (g / cm 3 ) having an absolute humidity of 50% or less at a temperature of 25 ° C. is 11.52 (g / cm 3 ). By lowering the humidity of the inside 50a of the storage container 50, the amount of water inside the storage container 50 can be reduced.
In this case, for example, the relationship between the temperature, the humidity, and the absolute humidity is stored in the adjusting unit 52, and the water content in the inside 50a of the storage container 50 is obtained based on the temperature information and the humidity information from the sensor 53. The temperature and humidity may be adjusted by the adjusting unit 52 based on the obtained water content.
The above-mentioned water content in the inside 50a of the storage container 50 can be adjusted by using a hygroscopic agent as described above.
 また、大気圧よりも圧力が低い減圧下で金属充填部材21を保管することも好ましい。これにより、収納容器50の内部50aの絶対湿度が低くなる。このことから、金属充填部材21の絶縁抵抗の変動を抑制でき、ひいては金属充填微細構造体の性能劣化を抑制することができる。また、上述のように減圧下で金属充填部材21を保管することで、導通路20の突出部20a、20bの酸化等も抑制することができ、これにより、金属充填部材21の接合対象、例えば、半導体素子及び半導体ウエハとの接合強度の向上、及び接合対象との接合抵抗の低減の効果を得ることができる。 It is also preferable to store the metal filling member 21 under a reduced pressure lower than the atmospheric pressure. As a result, the absolute humidity inside the storage container 50 50a is lowered. From this, it is possible to suppress fluctuations in the insulation resistance of the metal filling member 21, and thus it is possible to suppress deterioration in the performance of the metal filling microstructure. Further, by storing the metal filling member 21 under reduced pressure as described above, oxidation of the protruding portions 20a and 20b of the conduction path 20 can be suppressed, whereby the metal filling member 21 can be joined, for example. , The effect of improving the bonding strength between the semiconductor element and the semiconductor wafer and reducing the bonding resistance with the bonding target can be obtained.
 上述の減圧下は、例えば、収納容器50の内部50aの空気を排気することにより実現することができ、例えば、調整部52にロータリーポンプ等の真空ポンプを設けて、更に収納容器50の内部50aの圧力を計測する圧力計又は圧力センサを設けることで実現される。圧力計及び圧力センサとしては、大気圧よりも低い圧力を測定することができるものであれば特に限定されるものではなく、一般的な真空容器に圧力の計測に用いられるものを適宜利用可能である。
 上述の減圧下とは、圧力が0.01~0.1Pa程度のことをいう。
 また、収納容器50の内部50aに複数設ける構成としたが、これに限定されるものではなく1つでもよい。
The above-mentioned depressurization can be realized by, for example, exhausting the air inside the storage container 50. For example, a vacuum pump such as a rotary pump is provided in the adjusting unit 52, and the inside 50a of the storage container 50 is further provided. It is realized by providing a pressure gauge or a pressure sensor that measures the pressure of. The pressure gauge and the pressure sensor are not particularly limited as long as they can measure the pressure lower than the atmospheric pressure, and those used for measuring the pressure in a general vacuum vessel can be appropriately used. be.
The above-mentioned pressure reduction means that the pressure is about 0.01 to 0.1 Pa.
Further, although a plurality of configurations are provided inside 50a of the storage container 50, the present invention is not limited to this, and one may be used.
 このようにして、金属充填部材21を保管することができ、収納容器50に保管された状態で、金属充填部材21を移送することができる。これにより、保管状態を管理して移送先まで移送することができる。 In this way, the metal filling member 21 can be stored, and the metal filling member 21 can be transferred while being stored in the storage container 50. As a result, the storage state can be managed and the transfer can be performed to the transfer destination.
 容器40は、収納容器50に限定されるものではなく、例えば、図39に示すように収納袋54に収納してもよい。収納袋54は、例えば、ガスバリア性を有するフィルムで構成される。ガスバリア性を有するフィルムとは、例えば、水蒸気透過性の低いもののことであり、電子部品の包装に用いられる公知のフィルム、又は有機EL(Electro Luminescence)、電子ペーパーもしくは太陽電池等に用いられるガスバリアフィルムを用いることができる。
 ガスバリア性は、水蒸気透過性により評価され、水蒸気透過性はモコン法等で測定される。
The container 40 is not limited to the storage container 50, and may be stored in the storage bag 54 as shown in FIG. 39, for example. The storage bag 54 is made of, for example, a film having a gas barrier property. A film having gas barrier properties is, for example, a film having low water vapor permeability, which is a known film used for packaging electronic parts, or a gas barrier film used for organic EL (Electro Luminescence), electronic paper, solar cells, and the like.
