Description

本発明は,無機組成物に関し,より具体的には無鉛低融点組成物,該組成物を含んでなる無鉛低融点封止材及び導電用材料,並びにこれらを用いた電子部品に関する。 The present invention relates to an inorganic composition, more specifically to a lead-free low melting point composition, a lead-free low melting point encapsulant and a conductive material containing the composition, and an electronic component using these.

種々の無機低融点組成物が電気・電子機器業界において様々な用途で用いられている。例えば,水晶振動子,LED素子のような電気・電子部品の封止において,低融点(例えば,250℃)のAu−Sn合金はんだペーストや封止用ガラスフリットが,これをそれらの部品に塗布し焼成するという方法で用いられている。また,太陽電池パネルなどの電気電子部品には,パターニングされた電極および配線が形成されているが,配線の形成には金属粉末と低融点ガラス粉末とを混合した導電性ペースト等が用いられている。 Various inorganic low melting point compositions are used in various applications in the electrical and electronic equipment industry. For example, in the encapsulation of electrical and electronic parts such as crystal oscillators and LED elements, Au-Sn alloy solder paste having a low melting point (for example, 250 ° C.) or glass frit for encapsulation is applied to those parts. It is used in the method of baking. In addition, patterned electrodes and wiring are formed on electrical and electronic parts such as solar panels, and conductive paste or the like, which is a mixture of metal powder and low melting point glass powder, is used to form the wiring. There is.

Au−Sn合金(特許文献1)は以前より用いられてきた材料であり信頼性はあるが,金を成分に含むため非常に高価である。 The Au-Sn alloy (Patent Document 1) is a material that has been used for a long time and is reliable, but it is very expensive because it contains gold as a component.

このため,封止材の調製に用いられる低融点ガラスとしては,より安価なPbO系ガラスやV系ガラスも知られている。例えば,400℃未満の温度で封止可能なPbO系ガラス(特許文献2)や350℃以下で焼成可能なV系ガラス(特許文献3)が知られている。Therefore, as the low melting point glass used in the preparation of the sealing material, it is also known less expensive PbO-based glass or V 2 O 5 based glass. For example, sealable PbO-based glass (Patent Document 2) and 350 ° C. can be baked V 2 O 5 based glass below (Patent Document 3) is known at a temperature below 400 ° C..

他方,酸化銀及び/又はハロゲン化銀と他の金属酸化物(Pb,Vであってよい)を含んでなる,300〜330℃で使用できる封止材料が知られている(特許文献4)。 On the other hand, a sealing material containing silver oxide and / or silver halide and other metal oxides (which may be Pb, V) and which can be used at 300 to 330 ° C. is known (Patent Document 4). ..

また,酸化銀,五酸化燐及びヨウ化銀を含んでなる封止材料も知られている(特許文献5,6)。 Further, a sealing material containing silver oxide, phosphorus pentoxide and silver iodide is also known (Patent Documents 5 and 6).

このような状況において,近年,電気・電子材料の回路構成等の益々の微細化が進むのに伴い,より信頼性が高くかつ安価な封止材や低温での焼成が可能な導電性ペーストが求められるようになっているが,その要請には未だ十分に応えられていない。 Under these circumstances, in recent years, with the increasing miniaturization of circuit configurations of electrical and electronic materials, more reliable and inexpensive encapsulants and conductive pastes that can be fired at low temperatures have become available. It has come to be required, but the request has not yet been fully met.

本発明の上記1の低融点組成物は,これを含んでなる低融点封止材を封止対象の無機酸化物及び/又金属からなる表面に適用し,大気中で350℃以下の幅広い温度領域において加熱融解させて適宜広げた後,冷却させ固化させることで,当該表面に対し密着性の良好な封止を達成できる。また,金属に対する融解時の濡れ性が特に高く,このため,無機酸化物表面を含む封止対象の封止に取り分け適している。また,金属表面への濡れ性が良いことから,金属粉末の焼結助剤として用いることもでき,そのことにより特に,低温焼成用の導電用材料や酸化物基板上への回路作成用の導電用材料の製造に適している。 In the low melting point composition of 1 above of the present invention, a low melting point encapsulant containing the same is applied to a surface made of an inorganic oxide and / or a metal to be sealed, and a wide temperature of 350 ° C. or lower is applied in the atmosphere. By heating and melting in the region, spreading as appropriate, and then cooling and solidifying, sealing with good adhesion to the surface can be achieved. In addition, the wettability to metal during melting is particularly high, which makes it particularly suitable for sealing objects to be sealed that include the surface of inorganic oxides. In addition, since it has good wettability to the metal surface, it can also be used as a sintering aid for metal powder, which makes it particularly conductive for low-temperature firing and for creating circuits on oxide substrates. Suitable for manufacturing materials for materials.

本発明の上記2の低融点組成物も,これを含んでなる低融点封止材として,大気中で350℃を超えない幅広い温度領域において封止に使用することができる。当該封止材は,融解時において,無機酸化物に対するよりも金属に対して高い濡れ性を示す。このため,封止対象の金属表面同士のみを封止材で接合しようとする際,接合部の周囲に無機酸化物表面が存在しても,金属表面に適用された封止材が無機酸化物表面に流れて拡がるのを抑制でき,高い信頼性を以て金属表面に選択的な封止の実施を可能にする。 The low melting point composition of the above 2 of the present invention can also be used for sealing in a wide temperature range not exceeding 350 ° C. in the atmosphere as a low melting point sealing material containing the same. The encapsulant exhibits higher wettability to metals when melted than to inorganic oxides. Therefore, when trying to join only the metal surfaces to be sealed with a sealing material, even if there is an inorganic oxide surface around the joint, the sealing material applied to the metal surface is an inorganic oxide. It can be suppressed from flowing to the surface and spreading, and it is possible to carry out selective sealing on the metal surface with high reliability.

更に,本発明の組成物は,焼結助剤として金属粉末へ混合することで,低温での焼成が可能な導電用材料の提供を可能にする。 Furthermore, the composition of the present invention makes it possible to provide a conductive material that can be fired at a low temperature by mixing it with a metal powder as a sintering aid.

本発明の上記3の低融点組成物も,これを含んでなる低融点封止材として,大気中で350℃を超えない幅広い温度領域において封止に使用することができる。当該封止材は,融解時に無機酸化物表面と金属表面の両方に対する良好な濡れ性を示し,このため無機酸化物表面有する部材と金属表面を有する部材との封止による接合(異種材料接合)を高い信頼性を以て達成することを可能にする。 The low melting point composition of the above 3 of the present invention can also be used for sealing in a wide temperature range not exceeding 350 ° C. in the atmosphere as a low melting point sealing material containing the same. The encapsulant exhibits good wettability to both the inorganic oxide surface and the metal surface when melted, and therefore, the member having the inorganic oxide surface and the member having the metal surface are bonded by sealing (dissimilar material bonding). Can be achieved with high reliability.

本明細書において,「低融点」の語は,融点が350℃を超えないことを意味し,より好ましくは,融点が300℃を超えないことを意味する。本発明の組成物は,その融点に適した用途に使用できる。例えば,250〜300℃の融点を有する組成物は,Au−Sn合金封止材の安価な代替材料として用いることができる。また,融点が250℃を超えない組成物は,Au−Sn合金はんだが既に用いられている電子部品に更に封止を施す場合にも,好都合に使用できる。 As used herein, the term "low melting point" means that the melting point does not exceed 350 ° C, more preferably the melting point does not exceed 300 ° C. The composition of the present invention can be used for applications suitable for its melting point. For example, a composition having a melting point of 250 to 300 ° C. can be used as an inexpensive alternative to Au—Sn alloy encapsulants. Further, the composition whose melting point does not exceed 250 ° C. can be conveniently used when further sealing the electronic component in which the Au—Sn alloy solder is already used.
