きないという問題があった。[Prior Art] Conventional heat-seal connectors are made by forming a conductive pattern on an insulating base material, usually an insulating flexible base material, by printing, etching, etc., and then applying an anisotropic conductive adhesive on top of the conductive pattern. In order to obtain electrical continuity with the connection terminal electrode of the circuit board to be connected, a conductive conductor for connection is exposed from the insulating adhesive layer formed on the connection part during heat sealing and to obtain electrical continuity with the connection terminal electrode of the circuit board to be connected. There were some that contained sexual particles. However, in recent years, as electrical and electronic devices have become smaller and more precise, the wiring pitch has become finer, and the connection pitch has also increased from 0.05 to 0.05.
A pitch as low as 0.4 mm is now required. In heat seal connectors using anisotropic conductive adhesive, it is difficult to maintain insulation between conductive lines if there are conductive particles between them.To avoid the risk of poor insulation, it is necessary to reduce the amount of conductive particles. There was a problem that the connection resistance became high. In addition, when the conductive line contains conductive particles for connection to obtain electrical continuity with the terminal electrode to be connected, when forming a conductive pattern by screen printing, the conductive particles for connection cause clogging of the screen. This causes disconnection of the conductive pattern, so the opening of the screen must be made larger, and as a result, in low-pitch printing, the amount of paste passing through the screen increases, and the printed line width is larger than the set line width of the screen. Because the line width becomes wider, so-called "sag" tends to occur, which causes leakage, so the yield is very poor, especially when manufacturing low-pitch heat seal connectors such as 0.05 to 0.4 mm pitch. There was a problem that line formation was not possible at all.

した。[Means for Solving the Problems] The present inventor has discovered that the causes of sagging and fading of conductive paste, which made it difficult to form conductive patterns at a low pitch in screen printing, are as follows:
As a result of our research, we believed that the ease with which conductive paste spreads when it comes into contact with a base material, so-called wetting property (affinity), resulted in a paste that has good wetting properties in the direction of the conductive line and prevents leaks due to sagging. In order to achieve this, if the wetting property in the direction perpendicular to the conductive line is poor, it is possible to print with a low pitch even when printing with a large screen because the conductive paste contains connection particles. The inventors have discovered that the wiring pattern can be easily formed, and have arrived at the present invention.

2以下の深さまたは高さとすることが望ましい。If the width of the protrusions 6 and grooves 7 formed on the surface of this base material is larger than the pitch of the conductive pattern, it will not be possible to prevent leakage. It is desirable to do so. Further, the closer the distance between adjacent protrusions 6 and grooves 7, the better, but the upper limit is desirably less than or equal to the pitch of the wiring pattern, particularly less than or equal to 1/10 of the pitch. It is preferable that the protrusions 6 or grooves 7 are continuous along the conductive line 2, but even if they are not continuous, it is sufficient if they are oriented in the same direction as the conductive line 2, and the degree of the orientation angle is determined by the conductive line 2. It is preferable that the angle is within ±10° with respect to line 2, particularly within 5°. Regarding the control of wetting of the conductive paste, the angle of inclination of the side surfaces of the protrusions 6 or grooves 7 is important;
The plane preferably intersects the plane by 30 degrees or more, and the closer to perpendicular the plane, the more preferable it is. However, if the depth of the groove 7 is too shallow or the height of the protrusion 6 is too low, wetting of the conductive paste cannot be sufficiently controlled. In particular, it is preferable that the thickness be 1 μm or more. Also, if the grooves 7 are too deep, the strength of the base material 4 will be weakened, and if the protrusions 6 are too high, it will have a negative effect on the flexibility of the base material 4, so both of these will be 1/1/2 of the thickness of the base material 4.
It is desirable that the depth or height be 2 or less.

の制御に良好な結果を与える。The protrusions 6 and the grooves 7 are formed along the conductive pattern that will be formed later, and the grooves 7 can be formed by processing along the conductive pattern using a laser beam, or by using a mold or roll. Examples include a method in which the formed convex pattern is transferred to the base material 4 by pressing to form grooves. An example of a method for forming the protrusions 6 is a method in which UV curable ink is applied to the four surfaces of the base material to a predetermined thickness, exposed to UV light in a desired pattern, and then uncured portions are removed. Furthermore, according to the method of rubbing in a certain direction with sandpaper, a wire brush, a needle, etc., or the sandblasting method, the portion that is gouged out at the same time as the groove 7 is formed remains as a burr and acts as the protrusion 6, so that the conductive paste Gives good results in controlling wetting.

A binder such as a polyester resin, a polyurethane resin, an epoxy resin, an acrylic resin, etc. contains 40 to 95% by weight of conventionally known conductivity-imparting powder such as copper or nickel to have a volume resistivity of 100 Ω cm or less, It is preferable to mix 0.1 to 50% by volume of conductive particles 3 for connection. The conductivity imparting powder used here exists suspended in the binder and imparts isotropic conductivity, contributing to conduction in the longitudinal direction when a line is formed, and usually has a particle size of 0. The particle size is about .01 to 1 μm, and the shape is scaly, fibrous, or amorphous. On the other hand, the factors that determine the wettability of the conductive paste to the base material include the viscosity of the conductive paste and the S.sub. P. Differences in solubility parameters (solubility parameters), surface tension of the conductive paste, etc. can be considered, but since the conductive paste contains a large amount of conductivity-imparting powder, it is mostly controlled by the viscosity. It is best to adjust it to poise.

These are in the line 2 of the conductive pattern and are for electrically connecting the connection terminal electrode 9 of the connection circuit board 8 and the line 2 of the conductive pattern on the base material 4, so at least a part of them It is desirable that the particles be exposed from the conductive line 2, so the particle size should be at least 5 μm, preferably at least the thickness of the conductive line, and if it is too large, the adhesive strength will decrease, so the particle size is preferably at most 100 μm. The thickness is preferably 50 μm or less. Although various shapes of particles can be used, it is preferable to use particles with irregularities on their surfaces in order to strengthen the holding force of the conductive paste. Similarly, in order to strengthen the retention force, it is also effective to treat the particle surface with a coupling agent. The amount of particles mixed into the conductive paste should be 0.1 to 50% by volume, because if it is too small, the number of connection points will decrease and the stability and reliability of conduction will deteriorate, and if it is too large, it will be difficult to form a conductive line. In particular, it is preferably 1 to 20% by volume. The conductive line 2 is formed by screen printing,
In order to prevent clogging of the conductive particles 3 for connection, the mesh size of the screen mesh is preferably set to be larger than the particle size, particularly 1.5 times the particle size or more. Further, if the opening is too large, it is likely to be difficult to make a low pitch screen using emulsion, so the opening is preferably 150 μm or less, particularly 100 μm or less.

In the case where the material is used, it is sufficient that the material simply exhibits thermal adhesive properties, and is arbitrarily selected from thermoplastic, thermosetting, or a blend thereof. Specific examples of thermoplastic adhesives include polyamide, polyester, ionomer, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer, ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer, and ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer. Examples include polyethylene copolymers such as polymers, various synthetic rubbers, and modified products and composites thereof. Examples of the thermosetting adhesive include synthetic rubbers such as epoxy resin, urethane, acrylic, silicone, chloroprene, and nitrile, or mixtures thereof. In each case, curing agents, vulcanizing agents, control agents, deterioration inhibitors, heat-resistant additives, thermal conductivity improvers, tackifiers, softeners, colorants, metal deactivators, etc. are added. However, from the viewpoint of improving reliability, it is better to keep the content of impurity ions as low as possible.

できる。[Function] According to the present invention, as described above, by improving the wettability of the conductive paste in the line direction and making it worse in the direction perpendicular to the line, the conductive paste contains connection particles, so the screen has a large opening. Even if printing is required, it is possible to obtain a heat-sealed connector with a low pitch and less defects due to conductive line leaks and disconnections.

Grooves with a depth of 0.2 to 2 μm and protrusions with a height of 0.2 to 2 μm were formed at a pitch of about 10 μm. On the other hand, silver and carbon are mixed as conductive powder into a urethane binder to increase the dry volume resistivity to 10.
A conductive paste having a viscosity of 150 poise was prepared by adding 10 parts by volume of gold-plated Ni particles having a particle size of 20 to 30 μm to 100 parts by volume of a conductive paste having a viscosity of -4 Ω·cm. Next, the line pitch was 0.2 mm and the line width was 0 using emulsion on a stainless steel mesh with an opening of 60 μm.
.. Using a screen plate made to be 1mm,
A conductive line was formed on the PET film by printing using the conductive paste. At this time, the thickness of the conductive line was 15 μm excluding the connecting conductive particles, and the connecting conductive particles were exposed from the line. A thermoplastic adhesive layer of styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene block copolymer was screen printed on the entire surface to a thickness of 2.
The thickness was set to 5 μm. This was sized to have a length in the line direction of 40 mm and a number of lines of 240 to obtain a low pitch heat seal connector.
