Technical Field
The invention relates to a conductive paste, an electronic component and a multilayer ceramic capacitor.
Background
With the miniaturization and high performance of electronic devices such as mobile phones and digital devices, miniaturization and high capacity are also demanded for electronic components including multilayer ceramic capacitors and the like. The multilayer ceramic capacitor has a structure in which a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of internal electrode layers are alternately laminated, and can be reduced in size and increased in capacity by making the dielectric layers and the internal electrode layers thin.
For example, a laminated ceramic capacitor can be manufactured as follows. Firstly, barium titanate (BaTiO) is added3) The conductive paste for internal electrodes is printed (applied) on the surfaces of the dielectric green sheets of the dielectric powder and the binder resin in a predetermined electrode pattern, and dried to form a dry film. Then, the dry film and the dielectric green sheet are alternately stacked, and are heated and pressed to be bondedIntegrated to form a crimp body. The pressure-bonded body is cut, subjected to a binder removal treatment in an oxidizing atmosphere or an inert atmosphere, and then fired to obtain a fired chip (laminate). Next, an external electrode paste is applied to both ends of the fired chip (laminate), and after firing, nickel plating or the like is applied to the surface of the external electrode, thereby obtaining a multilayer ceramic capacitor.
As a printing method used when printing the conductive paste on the dielectric green sheet, a screen printing method has been generally used, but from the demands for downsizing, thinning, and improvement in productivity of electronic devices, printing of a finer electrode pattern with high productivity is required.
As one of the printing methods of the conductive paste, a gravure printing method has been proposed as a continuous printing method in which a concave portion provided in a plate is filled with the conductive paste, the plate is pressed against a surface to be printed, and the conductive paste is transferred from the plate. The gravure printing method has a high printing speed and excellent productivity. When the gravure printing method is used, it is necessary to appropriately select a binder resin, a dispersant, a solvent, and the like in the conductive paste and adjust the properties such as viscosity to a range suitable for gravure printing.

Patent document 3 describes a conductive paste for an internal electrode of a multilayer ceramic capacitor, which contains a conductive powder (a), an organic resin (B), an organic solvent (C), an additive (D), and a dielectric powder (E), wherein the organic resin (B) is composed of polyvinyl butyral having a polymerization degree of 10000 or more and 50000 or less and ethyl cellulose having a weight average molecular weight of 10000 or more and 100000 or less, the organic solvent (C) is composed of propylene glycol monobutyl ether, or a mixed solvent of propylene glycol monobutyl ether and propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, or a mixed solvent of propylene glycol monobutyl ether and mineral spirits, the additive (D) is composed of a separation inhibitor and a dispersant, and the separation inhibitor is composed of a composition containing a polycarboxylic acid polymer or a polycarboxylate.

Problems to be solved by the invention
With the recent reduction in the thickness of the internal electrode layer, the conductive powder tends to have a smaller particle size. When the particle diameter of the conductive powder is small, the specific surface area of the particle surface thereof becomes large, and therefore the surface activity of the conductive powder (metal powder) becomes high, and the dispersibility of the conductive paste may decrease, and a conductive paste having a higher dispersibility is required.
In addition, when printing the conductive paste by the gravure printing method, since a paste viscosity lower than that of the screen printing method is required, it is considered that the conductive powder having a large specific gravity is precipitated to lower the dispersibility of the paste. In the conductive pastes described in patent documents 1 and 2, the dispersibility of the paste is improved by removing the lumps in the conductive paste using a filter, but the process of removing the lumps is required, and the production process is therefore easily complicated.

(dispersing agent)
The inventors of the present invention have studied various dispersants with respect to a dispersant used in a conductive paste, and as a result, have found that by using a dispersant containing a first acid-based dispersant having an average molecular weight of more than 500 and 2000 or less and having one or more branched chains composed of a hydrocarbon group with respect to a main chain and a second acid-based dispersant having a carboxyl group other than the first acid-based dispersant, the dispersibility of a powder material (conductive powder, ceramic powder) contained in the conductive paste is excellent, and the smoothness of a dried film surface is excellent.
Although the reason why the effect is obtained is not clearly understood, it is considered that the steric hindrance is effectively formed and the aggregation of the powder material is suppressed by providing the first acid-based dispersant with a branch chain made of a hydrocarbon group, and the carboxyl group is provided in the second acid-based dispersant, whereby the first acid-based dispersant can be more effectively dispersed. Further, by setting the molecular weight of the first acid-based dispersant to a specific size, it is possible to maintain a viscosity suitable for the use of the conductive paste. The present invention is not limited by the above theory (reason). The dispersant according to the present embodiment will be described in further detail below.
The first acid-based dispersant preferably has at least one branch chain made of a hydrocarbon group, preferably a plurality of branch chains made of a hydrocarbon group, with respect to the main chain. The first acid-based dispersant preferably has a carboxyl group, and more preferably is a hydrocarbon-based graft copolymer having a polycarboxylic acid as a main chain. In addition, the polycarboxylic acid preferably has an ester structure. The hydrocarbon group preferably has a chain structure. In addition, the hydrocarbyl group may be an alkyl group. The alkyl group may be composed of only carbon and hydrogen, and a part of hydrogen constituting the alkyl group may be substituted with a substituent.
The molecular weight of the first acid-based dispersant is greater than 500 and 2000 or less, and may be 1000 or more and 2000 or less. When the molecular weight is in the above range, the dispersibility of the conductive powder or ceramic powder is excellent, and the density and smoothness of the surface of the dried film are excellent. In the present specification, the molecular weight of the dispersant means a weight average molecular weight when the molecular weight of the dispersant has a certain degree of distribution.
The first acid-based dispersant may be selected from commercially available products, for example, and used so as to satisfy the above-described characteristics. The acid-based dispersant may be produced by a conventionally known production method so as to satisfy the above-described characteristics.
The first acid-based dispersant is preferably contained in an amount of 0.2 parts by mass or more and 2 parts by mass or less based on 100 parts by mass of the conductive powder. When the content of the acid-based dispersant is in the above range, the dispersibility of the conductive powder and the ceramic powder and the smoothness of the surface of the dried electrode after coating are excellent, the viscosity of the conductive paste can be adjusted to an appropriate range, and sheet erosion and peeling failure of the green sheet can be suppressed. In the conductive paste according to the present embodiment, even if the content of the acid-based dispersant is 1 part by mass or less, the conductive paste can have high dispersibility.

[ electronic component ]
Embodiments of electronic components and the like according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the drawings are schematically illustrated and the scale may be changed as appropriate. The position, direction, and the like of the member will be described with reference to the XYZ rectangular coordinate system shown in fig. 1 and the like as appropriate. In the XYZ rectangular coordinate system, the X direction and the Y direction are horizontal directions, and the Z direction is a vertical direction (vertical direction).
Fig. 1 a and 1B are views showing a multilayer ceramic capacitor 1 as an example of an electronic component according to an embodiment. The multilayer ceramic capacitor 1 includes a multilayer body 10 in which dielectric layers 12 and internal electrode layers 11 are alternately laminated, and external electrodes 20.
A method for manufacturing a multilayer ceramic capacitor using the conductive paste will be described below. First, a conductive paste is printed on the dielectric green sheets and dried to form a dried film, and a plurality of dielectric green sheets having the dried film on the upper surface thereof are laminated by pressure bonding and then fired to be integrated, thereby preparing a multilayer ceramic fired body (multilayer body 10) as a ceramic capacitor main body. Then, the multilayer ceramic capacitor 1 is manufactured by forming a pair of external electrodes 20 on both ends of the multilayer body 10. Hereinafter, the description will be made in more detail.
First, a dielectric green sheet (ceramic green sheet) as an unfired ceramic sheet is prepared. Examples of the dielectric green sheet include a dielectric green sheet formed by applying a dielectric layer slurry obtained by adding an organic binder such as polyvinyl butyral and a solvent such as terpineol to a predetermined ceramic raw material powder such as barium titanate onto a support film such as a PET film in a sheet form, and drying the sheet to remove the solvent. The thickness of the dielectric layer formed of the dielectric green sheet is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.05 μm or more and 3 μm or less from the viewpoint of the demand for downsizing the multilayer ceramic capacitor 1.
Next, a plurality of sheets on which the conductive paste was print-applied by a gravure printing method on one surface of the dielectric green sheet and dried to form a dry film were prepared. In addition, from the viewpoint of the requirement for making the internal electrode layer 11 thinner, the thickness of the conductive paste (dry film) after printing is preferably 1 μm or less after drying.
Next, the dielectric green sheet was peeled off from the support film, and laminated so that the dielectric green sheet and the conductive paste (dry film) formed on one surface of the dielectric green sheet were alternately arranged, followed by heating and pressing to obtain a laminate (pressure-bonded body). In addition, a dielectric green sheet for protection, which is not coated with a conductive paste, may be further disposed on both surfaces of the laminate.
Next, the multilayer body is cut into a predetermined size to form green chips, and then the green chips are subjected to a binder removal treatment and fired in a reducing atmosphere to produce a multilayer ceramic fired body (multilayer body 10). Further, the atmosphere in the binder removal treatment is preferably air or N2A gas atmosphere. The temperature at which the binder removal treatment is performed is, for example, 200 ℃ to 400 ℃. The holding time at the temperature when the binder removal treatment is performed is preferably 0.5 hours or more and 24 hours or less. The firing is performed in a reducing atmosphere in order to suppress oxidation of the metal used in the internal electrode layer 11, and the temperature at the time of firing the laminate 10 is, for example, 1000 ℃ to 1350 ℃, and the holding time at the time of firing is, for example, 0.5 hour to 8 hours.
The green chip is fired to completely remove the organic binder in the dielectric green sheet, and the ceramic raw material powder is fired to form the ceramic dielectric layer 12. Further, the organic vehicle in the dried film is removed, and an alloy powder containing nickel powder or nickel as a main component is sintered or melted and integrated to form the internal electrode layer 11, and a multilayer ceramic fired body (laminate 10) in which a plurality of dielectric layers 12 and internal electrode layers 11 are alternately laminated is formed. In addition, from the viewpoint of bringing oxygen into the dielectric layers 12 to improve reliability and suppressing reoxidation of the internal electrode layers 11, the fired multilayer ceramic body (multilayer body 10) after firing may be subjected to annealing treatment.
Then, the multilayer ceramic capacitor 1 is manufactured by providing the pair of external electrodes 20 to the multilayer ceramic fired body (multilayer body 10) thus manufactured. For example, the external electrode 20 includes an external electrode layer 21 and a plating layer 22. The external electrode layers 21 are electrically connected to the internal electrode layers 11. Further, as the material of the external electrode 20, for example, copper, nickel, or an alloy thereof can be preferably used. In addition, electronic components other than the multilayer ceramic capacitor may be used.

(evaluation results)
The conductive paste of the example was cut at a shear rate of 100sec-1The viscosity at that time is 0.20 to 0.23 pas and the shear rate is 10000sec-1The viscosity of the ink composition is 0.11 to 0.14 pas, and the ink composition shows a low value stably at any shear rate, indicating that the ink composition has a viscosity suitable for gravure printing. In addition, it was confirmed that the dry film density of the conductive paste of the examples was 5.1 to 5.4g/cm3The surface roughness of the dried film is 0.13 to 0.16 μm, and the dispersibility is excellent.
In addition, in the case of comparing the conductive pastes of examples 1 to 3, it is understood that the dry film density is increased and the surface roughness becomes smoother as the content of the first acid-based dispersant (a) is increased. In example 3, the dry film density and surface roughness were almost saturated values. As is clear from examples 2, 4 and 5, the dry film density and the surface roughness can be improved by increasing the content of the second acid-based dispersant. Further, as is clear from comparison of the conductive pastes of examples 1 and 4 and example 6, when the mixing ratios are close to each other, the dry film density and the surface roughness tend to be good as compared with the case where the mixing ratios of the first acid-based dispersant (a) and the second acid-based dispersant (B) are greatly different.
On the other hand, when the conductive paste of comparative example 1, which did not contain the first acid-based dispersant but used the phosphoric acid-based dispersant, was produced under the same conditions, the viscosity was higher than that of the example, the dry film density could not be sufficiently increased, and the surface roughness was higher than that of the example.
In addition, the conductive paste of comparative example 2, which uses TPO generally used as a main solvent, has a very high viscosity and is not suitable for gravure paste, and the surface roughness is higher than that of the examples. In addition, the conductive paste of comparative example 3, which contained no acetal resin in the binder resin, had a high viscosity and failed to sufficiently increase the dry film density.
It is also shown that the conductive paste of reference example 1 containing the first acid-based dispersant (a) alone or the conductive paste of reference example 2 containing the second acid-based dispersant (B) alone as the dispersant has a higher dry film density, a lower surface roughness, and improved dispersibility as compared with comparative example 1 using a phosphoric acid-based dispersant.
As is clear from the above, when the conductive paste of the example of the present invention containing both the first acid-based dispersant (a) and the second acid-based dispersant (B) was compared with the conductive pastes of the comparative examples and the reference examples, the dry film density was higher, the surface roughness was lower, and the dispersibility of the conductive paste was further improved. In addition, it is found that the conductive paste of the example of the present invention containing both dispersants is also lower in viscosity than the conductive pastes of the comparative examples and the reference examples, and is more suitable for gravure printing.
