Definitions
- Such a conductive layer is typically formed from a photosensitive composition containing conductive powder and a photopolymerizable compound (see Patent Documents 1 to 4 below). Specifically, first, a photosensitive composition is applied (printed) onto a substrate, and then the photosensitive composition is dried to form a film (forming step).

セラミック微粒子を添加しなかったこと以外はサンプル2と同様にして、サンプル1に係る感光性組成物を調製した。
先ず、B2O3-SiO2-Al2O3系のガラス粉末(平均粒子径:2μm)を用意した(なお、かかる平均粒子径は、銀粉末の平均粒子径と同様な方法によって算出されたものを意味する)。また、光重合性化合物として、市販のアクリレートポリマー(クレゾールノボラック型エポキシアクリレート)を用意した。光重合開始剤として、2-ベンジル-2-ジメチルアミノ-1-(4-モルフォリノフェニル)-ブタン-1-オンを用意した。
そして、上記用意したガラス粉末と、光重合性化合物と、光重合開始剤と、その他添加成分(ここでは、市販の重合禁止剤を使用した)とを、有機系分散媒に溶解させることによって、ガラス組成物を調製した。ここで、上記有機系分散媒としては、市販のジエチレングリコールモノエチルエーテルアセテートと、エチレングリコールモノブチルエーテルとの混合溶媒を使用した。なお、上記成分の含有量は、ガラス組成物の全体を100質量%としたとき、ガラス粉末が52質量%、光重合性化合物が23質量%、光重合性開始剤が3質量%、その他添加成分が6質量%、残部が有機系分散媒となるようにした。ガラス組成物は、25℃-100rpm(BrookfieldDV型粘度計で測定)における粘度が20~50Pa・s程度となるように調整した。
本評価試験では、PETフィルム上に、上記サンプル1~8に係る感光性組成物と、上記ガラス組成物とを用いて積層体を作製し、該積層体を切断した際の切断面の癒着性評価を行った。
先ず、スクリーン印刷により、上記調製したガラス組成物を、市販のPETフィルム上に4cm×4cmの大きさで塗布した。そして、これを70℃で10分間乾燥させて、PETフィルム上にガラス膜(ベタ膜)を成形した(膜状体の成形工程)。次に、露光機により、照度10mW/cm2、露光量100mJ/cm2の条件で光を照射し、露光部分を硬化させた(露光工程)。このようにして、PETフィルム上にガラス硬化膜(厚み:15μm)を形成した。
図3に示すように、上記のとおり作製した積層体30を、PETフィルムから剥がし、熱剥離シート(日東電工株式会社製)に固定した。その後、切断機(マイクロ・テック株式会社製)を用いて、ステージ温度75℃で0.25mm×0.45mm程度のチップサイズとなるように切断した。そして、光学顕微鏡(オリンパス株式会社製 SZ61)を用いて、積層体の上面から無作為的に3視野撮影した(ここでは、図3の破線丸枠部分に相当する領域の光学顕微鏡観察画像を得た)。そして、各光学顕微鏡観察画像について、無作為的に選出した65~70箇所における切断面での癒着の有無を目視で観察し、(癒着率)=(癒着が確認された数/目視観察数)×100(%)として算出した。各積層体の癒着率を、表1の「癒着率」の欄に示した。また、下記評価基準に基づいて癒着性の評価を行った。各積層体の癒着性評価の結果を、表1の「癒着性評価」の欄に示した。

本試験例では、平均粒子径が20nm以下のセラミック微粒子を含む組成において、該セラミック微粒子の含有量を変化させた場合についての評価を行った。以下、本試験例について詳細に説明する。
・サンプル9,10:
セラミック微粒子(具体的には、シリカ微粒子)の含有量を、表2の該当欄に示すとおりとした以外はサンプル6と同様にして、サンプル9,10に係る感光性組成物を調製した。
・積層体における切断面の癒着性評価:
上記(積層体の作製)と同様にしてサンプル9,10に係る積層体を作製した後、上記積層体における切断面の癒着性評価と同様な方法で、各積層体における切断面の癒着率を算出した。結果を、表2の「癒着率」の欄に示した。
先ず、アルミナ基板上にサンプル6,9,10に感光性組成物の硬化物(即ち、銀導電膜)を形成した。かかる銀導電膜の形成はスクリーン印刷によって行い、細線パターンは、電極幅200μm×長さ26cmとした。そして、これを900℃で120分間焼成することによって、銀ライン電極(即ち、銀導電層)を形成した。
続いて、サンプル6,9,10に係る銀ライン電極について、それぞれ2端子測定法に基づいた直流抵抗を測定し、銀ライン電極の断面積および長さ寸法から電気抵抗率を算出した。かかる直流抵抗の測定には、デジタルマルチメータ(岩崎通信機株式会社製 SC-7401)を使用し、電極断面積の測定には、レーザー顕微鏡(株式会社キーエンス製 VK-X1050)を使用した。結果を、表2の「電気抵抗率」の欄に示した。なお、かかる電気抵抗率は、3.0μΩ・cm以下であると好ましいとされる。
また、表2に示す結果より、平均粒子径が20nm以下のセラミック微粒子(ここでは、シリカ微粒子)を含む組成においては、得られる積層体の切断面同士の癒着性と、焼成後に得られる銀ライン電極の電気抵抗率との観点から、銀粉末100質量部に対して、該セラミック微粒子の含有比率を0.7~1.8質量部の範囲内とすることが好ましいことが確認された。
このように、ここで開示される感光性組成物によると、該感光性組成物を用いて作製される積層体の切断に際して、切断面同士の癒着が抑制されることが分かる。即ち、ここで開示される感光性組成物によると、小型化された電子材料(例えば、積層チップインダクタ)を生産性高く提供することができる。
ここで開示される第2の感光性組成物は、導電性粉末と、有機バインダと、光重合性化合物と、セラミック微粒子と、を含む。上記有機バインダは、セルロース系樹脂およびアクリル系樹脂を含み、上記セルロース系樹脂および上記アクリル系樹脂の割合は、質量比で25:75~70:30である。また、上記セラミック微粒子の平均粒子径は、5nm~30nmであり、上記感光性組成物の全体を100質量%としたとき、上記セラミック微粒子は0.1質量%~1.9質量%含まれる。
ここで開示される第2の感光性組成物は、導電性粉末を含む。導電性粉末は、電子材料等における電極、導線や電導膜等の電気伝導性(以下、単に「導電性」という。)の高い層を主として形成するための材料である。導電性粉末の種類は特に限定されず、従来公知のもののなかから、1種類または2種類以上を適宜組み合わせて用いることができる。導電性粉末の種類の一例としては、銀(Ag)、白金(Pt)、金(Au)、パラジウム(Pd)、ロジウム(Rh)、イリジウム(Ir)、ルテニウム(Ru)、オスミウム(Os)等の貴金属の単体、ニッケル(Ni)、アルミニウム(Al)、銅(Cu)、タングステン(W)、モリブデン(Mo)等の卑金属の単体、カーボンブラック等の炭素質材料、およびこれらの混合物や合金等が挙げられる。このなかでも、緻密でかつ低抵抗な導電層を有する電子材料を好適に得るという観点から、銀(銀粉末)やタングステン(タングステン粉末)を好ましく用いることができる。また、合金としては、例えば、銀-パラジウム(Ag-Pd)合金、銀-白金(Ag-Pt)合金、銀-銅(Ag-Cu)合金等が挙げられる。そして、コアが上述したような金属から構成され、コアを覆うシェルからなるコアシェル粒子等を用いることもできる。なお、上述したような導電性粉末としては、例えば市販されているものを使用することができる。また、導電性粉末は、1種類または2種類以上を組み合わせて用いることができる。
光重合性化合物は、後述する光重合開始剤の分解で生じた活性種によって、重合反応や架橋反応等を生じて硬化する光硬化成分である。重合反応は、例えば付加重合であってもよいし開環重合であってもよい。光重合性化合物としては特に限定されず、従来公知のものの中から、例えば用途や基材の種類等に応じて、1種または2種以上を適宜選択して用いることができる。光重合性化合物は、典型的には、不飽和結合および/または環状構造を1つ以上有する。光重合性化合物の一好適例として、(メタ)アクリロイル基やビニル基のようなエチレン性不飽和結合を1つ以上有するラジカル重合性の化合物や、エポキシ基のような環状構造を有するカチオン重合性の化合物が挙げられる。なお、本明細書および請求の範囲において「光重合性化合物」は、光重合性ポリマー、光重合性オリゴマー、光重合性モノマーを包含する。
なお、上述したような(メタ)アクリレート含有化合物、ウレタン結合含有化合物としては、市販されているものを特に制限なく使用することができる。上記(メタ)アクリレート化合物、ウレタン結合含有化合物としては、例えば日本化薬株式会社、共栄社化学株式会社、新中村化学工業株式会社、東亞合成株式会社、三菱ケミカル株式会社のものを用いることができる。
ここで開示される第2の感光性組成物は、セラミック微粒子として平均粒子径が5nm~30nmのセラミック微粒子を含む。また、感光性組成物の全体を100質量%としたとき、上記セラミック微粒子は0.1質量%~1.9質量%含まれる。上述したように、感光性組成物が粒径の小さな導電性粉末を含む場合、露光工程において光が膜状体の深部まで届きにくくなる傾向にある。この場合、膜状体の下部が十分に硬化されず、現像工程において該膜状体の下部が除去されてしまうため、断面視において逆台形状の硬化膜が形成され得る(いわゆるアンダーカットが生じ得る)。本発明者の検討によると、感光性組成物にかかるセラミック微粒子を添加した場合、該感光性組成物中の導電性粉末が好適に分散され、露光工程において光が膜状態の深部まで好適に届くことが分かった。これによって、アンダーカットを抑制できることが分かった。そして、さらに、セラミック微粒子の含有量を上記範囲内とすることで、感光性組成物において優れた印刷性を実現できることが分かった。なお、上記の説明は、実験結果に基づく本発明者の考察であり、ここで開示される技術は、上記のメカニズムに限定して解釈されるものではない。
なお、上述したようなセラミック微粒子としては、市販されているものを特に制限なく使用することができる。上記セラミック微粒子としては、例えば日本アエロジル株式会社のものを用いることができる。また、セラミック微粒子は、ゾル状、スラリー状等他の有機系分散媒中に分散混合されたものを用いることもできる。
ここで開示される第2の感光性組成物は、有機バインダとしてセルロース系樹脂およびアクリル系樹脂を含む。また、上記セルロース系樹脂および上記アクリル系樹脂の割合は、質量比で25:75~70:30である。有機バインダは、基材と光硬化前の膜状体(未硬化物)との接着性を高める成分である。本発明者の検討によると、感光性組成物に対して、セルロース系樹脂およびアクリル系樹脂を上記範囲内で添加した場合、感光性組成物における優れた印刷性、現像工程における硬化膜の欠け・剥離の抑制、現像工程における残渣の抑制を好適に実現できることが分かった。セルロース系樹脂は、現像工程において除去し易いとされているため、残渣の抑制に好適に寄与するものと考えられ得る。また、セルロース系樹脂およびアクリル系樹脂の割合を上記範囲内とすることで、感光性組成物の粘度を適切に調整できるため(例えば10~200Pa・s程度、好ましくは20~100Pa・s程度)、感光性組成物における優れた印刷性を実現することができるものと考えられ得る。さらに、かかる構成よると、基材と膜状体の接着性を高めることができるため、硬化膜の欠け・剥離を好適に防止できるものと考えられ得る。なお、上記の説明は、実験結果に基づく本発明者の考察であり、ここで開示される技術は、上記のメカニズムに限定して解釈されるものではない。
ここで開示される第2の感光性組成物は、上記成分に加えて、これら成分を分散させる分散媒(例えば、有機系分散媒)を含有してもよい。分散媒は、感光性組成物に適度な粘性や流動性を付与して、感光性組成物の取扱性を向上したり、導電層を成形する際の作業性を向上したりする成分である。また、導電層を形成する際の作業性を向上するという観点から、感光性組成物は分散媒によってペースト状に調製されることが好ましい。分散媒としては、従来公知のものの中から、例えば光重合性化合物の種類等に応じて、1種または2種以上を適宜選択して用いることができる。
ここで開示される第2の感光性組成物は、上記成分に加えて、光重合開始剤を含んでいてもよい。光重合開始剤としては、従来公知のものの中から、感光性樹脂の種類等に応じて1種または2種以上を適宜選択して用いることができる。光重合開始剤は、可視光線、紫外線、電子線等の活性エネルギー線を照射することによって分解し、ラジカルや陽イオン等の活性種を発生させて、光重合性化合物の反応を開始させる成分である。一好適例として、2-メチル-1-[4-(メチルチオ)フェニル]-2-モルフォリノプロパン-1-オン、2-ベンジル-2-ジメチルアミノ-1-(4-モルフォリノフェニル)-ブタン-1-オン、2-ヒドロキシ-2-メチル-1-フェニルプロパン-1-オン、2,4,6-トリメチルベンゾイルジフェニルホスフィンオキシド、2,4-ジエチルチオキサントン、ベンゾフェノン等が挙げられる。なお、上述したような光重合開始剤としては、市販されているものを特に制限なく使用することができる。
ここで開示される第2の感光性組成物は、ここで開示される技術の効果を著しく損なわない限りにおいて、上記成分に加えて、さらに必要に応じて種々の添加成分を含有することができる。添加成分としては、従来公知のものの中から1種または2種以上を適宜選択して用いることができる。添加成分の一例としては、例えば、無機フィラー、光増感剤、重合禁止剤、ラジカル捕捉剤、酸化防止剤、紫外線吸収剤、分散剤(例えば、アニオン性分散剤、カチオン性分散剤、非イオン性分散剤等)、可塑剤、界面活性剤、レベリング剤、増粘剤、消泡剤、ゲル化防止剤、安定化剤、防腐剤、顔料等が挙げられる。例えば、感光性組成物に分散剤を添加することで、銀粉末やセラミック微粒子の分散性が向上し、形成される膜状体の光透過性が好適に向上するため、積層体の切断面同士の癒着の抑制をより好適に実現することができる。特に限定されるものではないが、感光性組成物全体に占める添加成分の割合は、概ね5質量%以下、典型的には3質量%以下、例えば2質量%以下、好ましくは1質量%以下とするとよい。

現像工程後に形成された硬化膜の配線パターンの断面を走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM)で合計5視野の断面像を得た。そして、断面視において理想状態である矩形形状の断面積と、「アンダーカット」部を除した断面積を算出し、(実際の現像工程後の断面積)÷(理想的な矩形形状の断面積)の比率を電極残存率として算出した。結果を表3~5の該当欄に示した。本評価における評価基準は下記の通りである。

成形工程で成膜した膜状体(ベタ膜)に対して光学顕微鏡で合計20視野の目視観察を行った。そして、膜表面の段差や基材の露出が生じているか否かを調べることによって各サンプルの印刷性を評価した。この段差の凹部が光硬化後の硬化膜に配置されると、断線の原因になり得る。また、好適な印刷性を有する感光性組成物を用いた場合には、全ての領域において均一な厚みの膜状体が形成される。かかる目視観察の結果を、表3~5の該当欄に示した。なお、本評価における評価基準は下記の通りである。

この点を除いて、上記「複合体の作製」と同じ手順で複合体を作製した。
「◎」:10視野中、欠けおよび剥離が確認されなかった。
「○」:1つの視野において欠けおよび/または剥離が確認された。
「△」:2つ以上4つ以下の視野において欠けおよび/または剥離が確認された。
「×」:5つ以上の視野において欠けおよび/または剥離が確認された。
