Description

導電性粒子及包括其的電連接用連接器Conductive particle and connector for electrical connection including the same

本發明涉及導電性粒子,用於電連接用連接器的導電部。並且,本發明涉及連接器,具有由導電性粒子組成的導電部,用於電連接檢查裝置和受檢設備。This invention relates to electroconductive particle used for the electroconductive part of the connector for electrical connection. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a connector which has a conductive portion made of conductive particles and is used to electrically connect an inspection device and a device to be inspected.

為了對受檢設備進行電檢查,在所屬技術領域中使用用於電連接受檢設備與檢查裝置的連接器。連接器配置在檢查裝置與受檢設備之間。作為這種連接器的一例,在所屬技術領域中使用因施加於受檢設備的加壓力而產生彈性變形的導電性橡膠片(conductive rubber sheet)。In order to electrically inspect a device under inspection, a connector for electrically connecting the device under inspection and an inspection device is used in the art. The connector is arranged between the inspection device and the device under inspection. As an example of such a connector, a conductive rubber sheet that is elastically deformed by a pressing force applied to a device under inspection is used in the related art.

導電性橡膠片包括:導電部,用於傳遞信號;以及絕緣部,用於絕緣導電部。多個導電性粒子以能夠導電的方式沿著上下方向聚集形成。導電部的一部分與絕緣部由相同彈性材料製成,例如,矽橡膠。The conductive rubber sheet includes: a conductive part for transmitting signals; and an insulating part for insulating the conductive part. A plurality of electroconductive particles are aggregated in the up-down direction so as to be able to conduct electricity. A portion of the conductive portion is made of the same elastic material as the insulating portion, eg, silicone rubber.

導電部和絕緣部可從在液相的矽橡膠混合有多個金屬粒子的液相的成型材料中一併成型。通過向上述液相的成型材料施加磁場來將導電性粒子聚集成導電部形狀,從而可形成導電部。作為導電性粒子的一例,可使用在所屬技術領域中已知的球形的導電性粒子與形成特定的文字形狀的導電性粒子。The conductive portion and the insulating portion can be integrally molded from a liquid-phase molding material in which a plurality of metal particles are mixed with a liquid-phase silicone rubber. The conductive portion can be formed by applying a magnetic field to the molding material in the liquid phase to gather the conductive particles in the shape of the conductive portion. As an example of electroconductive particle, the electroconductive particle of spherical shape and the electroconductive particle which forms a specific character shape well-known in the art can be used.

在由球形的導電性粒子組成的導電部中,因呈球形形狀,相鄰的導電性粒子點接觸。由於點接觸的導電性粒子具有較小的接觸面積,因此,導電部的電流密度低。In the electroconductive part which consists of spherical electroconductive particle, since it has a spherical shape, adjacent electroconductive particle is in point contact. Since the conductive particles in point contact have a small contact area, the current density of the conductive portion is low.

在點接觸的球形的導電性粒子中,因球形的導電性粒子的比表面積較小而導致導電性粒子與彈性材料之間的結合力低。當檢查受檢設備時,若加壓力反復施加於導電部,則可導致點接觸的導電性粒子之間的接點變得輕易分離並使得導電性粒子與彈性材料之間的結合被輕易解除,從而可導致導電性粒子從原位置中脫離。由此,使得導電性粒子之間的電連接變得不穩定並導致連接器的使用壽命縮短。Among the spherical conductive particles in point contact, since the specific surface area of the spherical conductive particles is small, the binding force between the conductive particles and the elastic material is low. When the device under test is inspected, if the pressure is repeatedly applied to the conductive part, the contacts between the conductive particles in point contact can be easily separated and the bonding between the conductive particles and the elastic material can be easily released. As a result, the conductive particles may be detached from their original positions. Thereby, the electrical connection between electroconductive particles becomes unstable, and the service life of a connector is shortened.

若在高溫環境中使用由球形的導電性粒子組成的導電部,則因彈性材料的膨脹而導致導電性粒子之間的間隔變大並增加接觸電阻。為了增加導電部的電流密度,雖然可高密度聚集球形的導電性粒子,但是,高密度聚集的球形的導電性粒子會降低導電部的工作性。When the conductive part which consists of spherical electroconductive particles is used in a high temperature environment, the space|interval between electroconductive particles becomes large due to the expansion of an elastic material, and a contact resistance increases. In order to increase the current density of the conductive portion, although spherical conductive particles can be aggregated at a high density, the spherical conductive particles aggregated at a high density reduce the workability of the conductive portion.

作為用於增加導電性粒子之間的接觸面積的一種方案,提出了形成特定文字形狀的導電性粒子,例如,C型、H型、V型。當通過磁力排列時,文字形狀的導電性粒子可沿著一個方向相結合。在文字形狀的導電性粒子的粒子之間的接觸面積被限制成粒子之間結合的面積,文字形狀的導電性粒子無法沿著未結合的方向電連接。因此,文字形狀的導電性粒子會降低導電部在未結合方向中的工作性。並且,由文字形狀的導電性粒子組成的導電部因粒子之間較多的空間而具有較低的粒子密度,從而導致導電部的電流密度低。As one solution for increasing the contact area between the conductive particles, conductive particles formed into a specific character shape, for example, C-type, H-type, and V-type have been proposed. When aligned by magnetic force, the text-shaped conductive particles can be combined in one direction. The contact area between the particles of the character-shaped conductive particles is limited to the area where the particles are bonded, and the character-shaped conductive particles cannot be electrically connected in the unbonded direction. Therefore, the electroconductive particle of a character shape reduces the workability|operativity of an electroconductive part in an unbonded direction. In addition, the conductive portion composed of the conductive particles in the shape of a character has a low particle density due to many spaces between the particles, resulting in a low current density of the conductive portion.

由於文字形狀的導電性粒子可通過磁力沿著一個方向相結合,因此,為了提高連接器的收率(yield),可通過文字形狀的導電性粒子組成導電部。由於文字形狀的導電性粒子可使得導電部的工作性僅在一個方向中實現,因此,可考慮在導電部的上側區間和下側區間配置球形的導電性粒子,在承受較小加壓力的負荷的導電部的中間區間配置文字形狀的導電性粒子。但是,當在導電部使用形狀互不相同的兩種導電性粒子時,在上側區間與中間區間之間及中間區間與下側區間之間的介面中,可通過減少導電性粒子之間的接觸面積來降低導電部的導電性。Since the character-shaped conductive particles can be coupled in one direction by magnetic force, in order to improve the yield (yield) of the connector, the conductive portion can be composed of the character-shaped conductive particles. Since the conductive particles in the shape of characters can realize the workability of the conductive part only in one direction, it is considered that spherical conductive particles are arranged in the upper section and the lower section of the conductive section to withstand a load with a small pressing force. Character-shaped conductive particles are arranged in the middle section of the conductive portion. However, when two types of conductive particles with different shapes are used in the conductive portion, the contact between the conductive particles can be reduced by reducing the interface between the upper section and the middle section and between the middle section and the lower section. area to reduce the conductivity of the conductive portion.

[解決問題之技術手段] 本發明實施例的一實施方式涉及導電性粒子,用於電連接檢查裝置和受檢設備的連接器的導電部。一實施例的導電性粒子包括底面接觸部;以及多個側面接觸部,底面接觸部及多個側面接觸部形成導電性粒子的表面。底面接觸部具有多個邊。多個側面接觸部分別與底面接觸部的多個邊相接觸,沿著垂直於底面接觸部的第一方向逐漸變窄。多個側面接觸部中的相鄰的側面接觸部沿著作為第一方向的周圍方向的第二方向相接觸。[Technical means to solve problems] One Embodiment of the Example of this invention relates to electroconductive particle for electrically connecting the electrically conductive part of the connector of an inspection apparatus and an inspection apparatus. The conductive particle of one embodiment includes a bottom surface contact part; and a plurality of side surface contact parts, and the bottom surface contact part and the plurality of side surface contact parts form the surface of the conductive particle. The bottom surface contact portion has a plurality of sides. The plurality of side contact portions are respectively in contact with the plurality of sides of the bottom contact portion, and gradually narrow along a first direction perpendicular to the bottom contact portion. Adjacent side contact portions among the plurality of side contact portions are in contact along a second direction, which is a peripheral direction of the first direction.

根據一實施例,導電性粒子包括:多個頂點接觸部,分別形成在底面接觸部與多個側面接觸部中的兩個側面接觸部相接觸的位置;多個邊角接觸部,分別形成在底面接觸部與多個側面接觸部中的一個側面接觸部相接觸的位置;以及多個邊角接觸部,分別形成在多個側面接觸部中的相鄰的側面接觸部沿著第二方向相接觸的位置。According to an embodiment, the conductive particle includes: a plurality of vertex contact parts, respectively formed at positions where the bottom surface contact part contacts two side surface contact parts of the plurality of side surface contact parts; a plurality of edge contact parts, respectively formed at a position where the bottom contact portion contacts one side contact portion of the plurality of side contact portions; and a plurality of corner contact portions, respectively formed on adjacent side contact portions of the plurality of side contact portions in contact with each other along the second direction contact location.

根據一實施例,導電性粒子包括上側頂點接觸部,形成在所有多個側面接觸部沿著第一方向相接觸的位置。底面接觸部的一邊長度與從底面接觸部到上側頂點接觸部為止的高度之間的比例可以為1:0.71。According to one embodiment, the conductive particle includes an upper vertex contact portion formed at a position where all the plurality of side contact portions are in contact along the first direction. The ratio between the length of one side of the bottom contact portion and the height from the bottom contact portion to the upper vertex contact portion may be 1:0.71.

根據一實施例,導電性粒子包括:上部面接觸部,從底面接觸部沿著第一方向隔開並與多個側面接觸部相接觸;以及多個頂點接觸部,分別形成在上部面接觸部與多個側面接觸部中的兩個側面接觸部相接觸的位置。According to one embodiment, the conductive particle includes: an upper surface contact portion spaced from the bottom surface contact portion along the first direction and in contact with the plurality of side surface contact portions; and a plurality of vertex contact portions formed on the upper surface contact portion, respectively A position in contact with two side contact portions of the plurality of side contact portions.

根據一實施例,底面接觸部與多個側面接觸部中的一個之間的夾角可以為54.7度。According to an embodiment, the included angle between the bottom contact portion and one of the plurality of side contact portions may be 54.7 degrees.

根據一實施例,底面接觸部和多個側面接觸部可具有多孔性。According to an embodiment, the bottom contact portion and the plurality of side contact portions may have porosity.

本發明實施例的另一實施方式涉及連接器,用於電連接檢查裝置與受檢設備的連接器。一實施例的連接器包括:導電部,具有以能夠導電的方式沿著上下方向接觸的上述導電性粒子;以及絕緣部,由彈性材料製成,用於將多個導電性粒子維持為導電部。Another implementation of the embodiments of the present invention relates to a connector for electrically connecting an inspection apparatus and a device under inspection. A connector according to an embodiment includes: a conductive part having the above-mentioned conductive particles in contact in an up-down direction so as to be able to conduct electricity; and an insulating part made of an elastic material for maintaining the plurality of conductive particles as the conductive part .

根據一實施例,在多個導電性粒子中,相鄰的兩個導電性粒子可通過任一個導電性粒子的底面接觸部與另一個導電性粒子的底面接觸部之間的面接觸、任一個導電性粒子的底面接觸部與另一個導電性粒子的多個側面接觸部中的一個之間的面接觸或任一個導電性粒子的多個側面接觸部中的一個與另一個導電性粒子的多個側面部中的一個之間的面接觸來相互接觸。According to an embodiment, among the plurality of conductive particles, two adjacent conductive particles may be in surface contact through the bottom surface contact portion of any one of the conductive particles and the bottom surface contact portion of the other conductive particle, either The surface contact between the bottom surface contact part of the conductive particle and one of the plurality of side surface contact parts of the other conductive particle, or the multiplication of one of the plurality of side surface contact parts of any one conductive particle and the other conductive particle surface contact between one of the side portions to come into contact with each other.

根據一實施例,在多個導電性粒子中,相鄰的兩個導電性粒子可以以能夠沿著多個側面接觸部中的一個滑動的方式相接觸。According to an embodiment, among the plurality of conductive particles, two adjacent conductive particles may be in contact with each other so as to be slidable along one of the plurality of side contact portions.

根據一實施例,多個導電性粒子中的一部分導電性粒子與多個導電性粒子中的另一部分導電性粒子可具有互不相同的尺寸。According to one embodiment, a part of the conductive particles in the plurality of conductive particles and another part of the conductive particles in the plurality of conductive particles may have mutually different sizes.

一實施例的導電性粒子為具有多個面接觸部的三維形狀的導電性立體物。根據一實施例,由於底面接觸部和沿著垂直於底面接觸部的第一方向逐漸變窄的多個側面接觸部形成導電性粒子的表面,因此,可使得導電性粒子可容易在前方向與另一導電性粒子進行面接觸。由此,若通過一實施例的導電性粒子組成連接器的導電部,則因導電性粒子的密集配置而形成未具有粒子無法接觸方向的導電部,從而增加導電部中的粒子之間的接觸面積並增加導電部的電流密度。所以,相比於由現有的球形導電性粒子或文字形狀的導電性粒子組成的導電部,可實現進一步提升導電性和電流密度的導電部。The conductive particle of one embodiment is a three-dimensional conductive three-dimensional object having a plurality of surface contact portions. According to an embodiment, since the bottom contact portion and the plurality of side contact portions gradually narrowed along the first direction perpendicular to the bottom contact portion form the surface of the conductive particles, the conductive particles can easily interact with the conductive particles in the front direction. The other electroconductive particle makes surface contact. Thereby, when the conductive part of the connector is composed of the conductive particles of one embodiment, the conductive part without the direction in which the particles cannot contact is formed due to the dense arrangement of the conductive particles, thereby increasing the contact between the particles in the conductive part area and increase the current density of the conductive part. Therefore, compared with the electroconductive part which consists of the conventional spherical electroconductive particle or the electroconductive particle of a character shape, the electroconductive part which improves electroconductivity and a current density can be realized.

根據一實施例的導電性粒子所具備的三維立體物的形狀特性,當導電部承受加壓力時,導電部內的一實施例的導電性粒子可沿著前方向相對滑動。由此,在導電部承受加壓力的情況下,可提高在上下方向中的工作性及在水平方向中的工作性,從而提高連接器的使用壽命。According to the shape characteristics of the three-dimensional object possessed by the conductive particles of an embodiment, when the conductive portion is subjected to a pressing force, the conductive particles of an embodiment in the conductive portion can relatively slide in the forward direction. Thereby, when the conductive portion is subjected to a pressing force, the workability in the vertical direction and the workability in the horizontal direction can be improved, thereby improving the service life of the connector.

根據一實施例的導電性粒子所具備的三維立體物的形狀特性,由於具有增加的比表面積並組成導電部的所有導電性粒子形成一個相互結合體,因此,可防止產生導電性粒子的脫離並增加導電部的耐久性。According to the shape characteristic of the three-dimensional object possessed by the conductive particles of one embodiment, since all the conductive particles having an increased specific surface area and constituting the conductive portion form a mutual bond, the separation of the conductive particles can be prevented and the occurrence of Increase the durability of the conductive portion.

一實施例的導電性粒子可具有增加的接觸面積和密集的分佈結構且以能夠導電的方式沿著上下方向相接觸,因此,可實現導電性有所增加且粒子之間的接觸結構穩定的導電部。並且,由於導電性粒子以能夠導電的方式相接觸且具有增加的接觸面積和密集的分佈結構,因此,可製造一種具有導電性粒子之間的電連接穩定的導電部並具有優秀收率的連接器。The conductive particles of an embodiment can have an increased contact area and a dense distribution structure, and are in contact along the upper and lower directions in a conductive manner. Therefore, the conductive particles with increased conductivity and stable contact structure between particles can be realized. department. Also, since the conductive particles are in contact with each other in a conductive manner and have an increased contact area and a dense distribution structure, it is possible to manufacture a connection having a conductive portion with stable electrical connection between the conductive particles and an excellent yield device.

In the cylindrical shape of the conductive portion 11, the dimensions of the upper end and the lower end may be larger than the dimension of the middle.

For example, in the connector 10 , the insulating portion 12 may be formed as a quadrangular region, and the conductive portions 11 may be arranged in a single row or a double row and column within the insulating portion 12 . Alternatively, the conductive portions 11 may also be arranged in a row along each side of the quadrangular region of the insulating portion 12 .

Although the above-mentioned elastic material for forming the insulating portion 12 may include silicone rubber, it is not limited thereto. The insulating portion 12 maintains, as the conductive portion 11 , a plurality of the above-described conductive particles that are in contact with each other along the vertical direction VD so as to be conductive.

根據上述底面接觸部與第一側面接觸部至第四側面接觸部的形狀特性,導電性粒子100可具有四角錐形狀或與四角錐台類似的形狀。由於導電性粒子100具有沿著第一方向AD逐漸變窄的形狀特性,因此,導電性粒子100的底面接觸部或側面接觸部中的一個可以與另一導電性粒子的底面接觸部或側面接觸部中的一個輕易實現面接觸。因此,一實施例的導電性粒子可在具有密集的分佈結構和有所增加的接觸面積的同時組成導電部。According to the shape characteristics of the bottom contact portion and the first to fourth side contact portions, the conductive particles 100 may have a quadrangular pyramid shape or a shape similar to a quadrangular pyramid.

That is, the bottom-surface contact part and the side-surface contact part which form the surface of the electroconductive particle 100 have porosity. Accordingly, the bottom surface contact portion 111 , the first side contact portion 112 , the second side contact portion 113 , the third side contact portion 114 , and the fourth side contact portion 115 have large surface roughness and high specific surface area. Therefore, the contact area between the elastic material forming the insulating part of the connector and the surface of the conductive particles 100 or the contact area between the elastic material in the conductive part of the connector and the surface of the conductive particle 100 is increased, so that the The conductive particles 100 can be maintained in the conductive portion by a strong binding force.

參照圖4,導電性粒子101、102、103可具有多種尺寸。在導電性粒子101、102、103中,底面接觸部111的一邊長度L與從底面接觸部111到第五頂點接觸部(上側頂點接觸部)125的高度H可互不相同。但是,在多種尺寸的導電性粒子101、102、103中的底面接觸部111的一邊長度L與從底面接觸部到111第五頂點接觸部125的高度H的比例可相同。作為一例,底面接觸部111的一邊長度L與從底面接觸部111到第五頂點接觸部125的高度H的比例可以為約1:0.71。並且,底面接觸部111的邊長L可以為20μm至60μm。4, the conductive particles 101, 102, 103 may have various sizes. In the conductive particles 101 , 102 , and 103 , the length L of one side of the bottom contact portion 111 and the height H from the bottom contact portion 111 to the fifth vertex contact portion (upper vertex contact portion) 125 may be different from each other. However, the ratio of the length L of one side of the bottom contact portion 111 to the height H from the bottom contact portion to the fifth vertex contact portion 125 of the conductive particles 101 , 102 and 103 of various sizes may be the same. As an example, the ratio of the length L of one side of the bottom contact portion 111 to the height H from the bottom contact portion 111 to the fifth vertex contact portion 125 may be about 1:0.71. Also, the side length L of the bottom contact portion 111 may be 20 μm to 60 μm.

如圖4所例示,多種尺寸的導電性粒子可用於組成一實施例的連接器的導電部。因此,組成連接器的導電部的多個導電性粒子中的一部分導電性粒子與另一部分導電性粒子可具有互不相同的尺寸。通過具有多種尺寸的導電性粒子組成導電部,可使得導電部中的粒子密度進一步增加。As illustrated in FIG. 4 , conductive particles of various sizes can be used to form the conductive portion of the connector of one embodiment. Therefore, a part of electroconductive particle and another part of electroconductive particle among the some electroconductive particle which comprise the electroconductive part of a connector may have mutually different size.

In this way, the conductive particle 100A including the upper surface contact portion 116 can have a quadrangular frustum shape. The conductive particle 100A does not include the aforementioned fifth vertex contact portion. The conductive particle 100A includes a sixth vertex contact portion 126 , a seventh vertex contact portion 127 , an eighth vertex contact portion 128 , and a ninth vertex contact portion 129 , which are formed on the upper surface contact portion 116 , the first side contact portion 112 , and the first side contact portion 112 , respectively.

與上述實施例的導電性粒子相同,導電性粒子100A可形成多種尺寸。並且,在導電性粒子100A中,底面接觸部111與第一側面接觸部112、第二側面接觸部113、第三側面接觸部114及第四側面接觸部115中的一個之間的夾角可以為約54.7度。並且,在導電性粒子100A中,上部面接觸部126與第一側面接觸部112、第二側面接觸部113、第三側面接觸部114及第四側面接觸部115中的一個之間的夾角可以為125.3度。Like the conductive particles of the above-described embodiments, the conductive particles 100A can be formed in various sizes.

圖7為示出另一實施例的導電性粒子的立體圖。圖7所示的導電性粒子可具有底面為長方形的四角錐形狀。即,圖7所示的導電性粒子100B的底面接觸部111為長方形。導電性粒子100B也可形成與圖6所示的導電性粒子類似的四角錐台形狀。FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing an electroconductive particle of another embodiment.

The electroconductive particle 100B can also be formed in the shape of a quadrangular frustum similar to the electroconductive particle shown in FIG. 6 .

若向由絕緣部的彈性材料的液相物質與多個上述導電性粒子混合而成的液相成型材料對導電部的每個位置沿著上下方向施加磁場,則多個導電性粒子聚集在磁場區域並沿著上下方向密集接觸。由此,可通過多個導電性粒子組成連接器的導電部。根據導電性粒子具有的上述形狀特徵,導電性粒子可在磁場區域內以未產生相互之間的間隔的方式密集接觸。因此,導電性粒子可沿著上下方向密集分佈在連接器的導電部內。所以,連接器的導電部可因具有增加的粒子密度和粒子之間的接觸面積而表現出提高的導電性及電流密度。When a magnetic field is applied to the liquid-phase molding material in which the liquid-phase substance of the elastic material of the insulating portion and the plurality of the conductive particles are mixed in the vertical direction for each position of the conductive portion, the plurality of conductive particles are gathered in the magnetic field. area and in close contact along the top-bottom direction. Thereby, the electroconductive part of a connector can be comprised by several electroconductive particle. According to the said shape characteristic which electroconductive particle has, electroconductive particle can contact densely so that the space|interval between them may not generate|occur|produce in a magnetic field area|region. Therefore, the conductive particles can be densely distributed in the conductive portion of the connector in the up-down direction. Therefore, the conductive portion of the connector may exhibit increased electrical conductivity and current density due to increased particle density and contact area between particles.

圖8為簡要示出在一實施例的連接器的導電部內的一實施例的導電性粒子以能夠導電的方式相接觸的例的立體圖。FIG. 8 is a perspective view schematically showing an example in which conductive particles of an embodiment are in contact with each other so as to be able to conduct electricity in a conductive portion of a connector of an embodiment.

雖然圖8示出了由四角錐形狀的導電性粒子組成的導電部的例,但是,也可通過圖6和圖7所示的導電性粒子組成導電部。並且,也可混合圖2、圖6及圖7所示的導電性粒子組成導電部。Although FIG. 8 shows the example of the electroconductive part which consists of the electroconductive particle of the quadrangular pyramid shape, the electroconductive part may be comprised by the electroconductive particle shown in FIG.6 and FIG.7. Moreover, the electroconductive particle shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 6, and FIG. 7 may be mixed to form an electroconductive part.

一實施例的多個導電性粒子以能夠導電的方式沿著上下方向VD相接觸,從而組成連接器的導電部11。導電部11可包括相同尺寸的導電性粒子104、105。多個導電性粒子104、105以無序取向(orientational disorder)密集接觸在導電部11內。垂直於底面接觸部的第一方向AD無序取向定位在導電部11內。例如,導電性粒子的第一方向AD定位在上下方向VD、水平方向HD或上下方向VD與水平方向HD之間的任意傾斜方向,導電性粒子可在導電部11沿著上下方向和水平方向密集分佈。並且,可通過在導電部11內密集分佈配置導電性粒子來使得各個導電性粒子的第五頂點接觸部125朝向上下方向VD、水平方向HD或上下方向VD與水平方向HD之間的任意傾斜方向。The plurality of conductive particles of one embodiment are in contact with each other along the vertical direction VD so as to be able to conduct electricity, thereby forming the conductive portion 11 of the connector. The conductive portion 11 may include conductive particles 104 and 105 of the same size. The plurality of conductive particles 104 and 105 are in close contact with each other in the conductive portion 11 in an orientational disorder. The disordered orientation of the first direction AD perpendicular to the bottom contact portion is positioned within the conductive portion 11 . For example, the first direction AD of the conductive particles is positioned in the vertical direction VD, the horizontal direction HD, or any inclined direction between the vertical direction VD and the horizontal direction HD, and the conductive particles can be densely packed along the vertical direction and the horizontal direction in the conductive part 11 distributed. In addition, the fifth vertex contact portion 125 of each conductive particle can be directed to the vertical direction VD, the horizontal direction HD, or any inclined direction between the vertical direction VD and the horizontal direction HD by arranging the conductive particles densely distributed in the conductive portion 11 . .

導電部11內的相鄰的導電性粒子104、105可通過面接觸方式、面與線的接觸方式、面與點的接觸方式相接觸。與此相關地,面接觸是指一個導電性粒子104的底面接觸部或側面接觸部中的一個與另一導電性粒子105的底面接觸部或側面接觸部中的一個相接觸。面與線的接觸是指一個導電性粒子104的底面接觸部或側面接觸部中的一個與另一導電性粒子105的邊角接觸部中的一個相接觸。面與點的接觸是指一個導電性粒子104的底面接觸部或側面接觸部中的一個與另一導電性粒子105的頂點接觸部中的一個相接觸。The adjacent conductive particles 104 and 105 in the conductive portion 11 can be in contact with each other by a surface contact method, a surface-to-line contact method, or a surface-to-point contact method. In this connection, the surface contact means that one of the bottom surface contact portion or the side surface contact portion of one conductive particle 104 is in contact with one of the bottom surface contact portion or the side surface contact portion of the other conductive particle 105 . The contact between the surface and the line means that one of the bottom surface contact part or the side surface contact part of one electroconductive particle 104 is in contact with one of the corner contact parts of the other electroconductive particle 105 . The surface-to-point contact means that one of the bottom surface contact portion or the side surface contact portion of one electroconductive particle 104 is in contact with one of the vertex contact portions of the other electroconductive particle 105 .

具體地,上述面接觸可包括底面接觸部與底面接觸部的面接觸、底面接觸部與側面接觸部的面接觸、側面接觸部與側面接觸部的面接觸。即,在導電部11內,相鄰的兩個導電性粒子104、105可通過如下方式相接觸,即,一個導電性粒子104的底面接觸部與另一導電性粒子105的底面接觸部之間的面接觸、一個導電性粒子104的底面接觸部與另一導電性粒子105的側面接觸部中的一個之間的面接觸或一個導電性粒子104的側面接觸部中的一個與另一導電性粒子105的側面接觸部中的一個之間的面接觸。Specifically, the above-mentioned surface contact may include surface contact between the bottom surface contact part and the bottom surface contact part, the surface contact between the bottom surface contact part and the side surface contact part, and the surface contact between the side surface contact part and the side surface contact part. That is, in the conductive portion 11 , the adjacent two conductive particles 104 and 105 can be in contact with each other by the contact between the bottom surface contact portion of one conductive particle 104 and the bottom surface contact portion of the other conductive particle 105 . surface contact, surface contact between the bottom surface contact part of one conductive particle 104 and one of the side surface contact parts of the other conductive particle 105, or one of the side surface contact parts of one conductive particle 104 and the other conductive particle Surface contact between one of the side contact portions of the particles 105 .

如上所述,相鄰的兩個導電性粒子104、105通過面接觸部的任意方向中的面接觸來使得組成導電部11的多個導電性粒子表現出在前方向中的接觸性。並且,通過相接觸的面接觸部來使得相鄰的兩個導電性粒子104、105的第一方向AD並不平行且相互重疊或交叉。由此,如圖8所示,相鄰的導電性粒子104、105可沿著上下方向VD及水平方向HD密集分佈並相互接觸。因此,組成導電部11的多個導電性粒子可在導電部11內以非常高的密集度並能夠導電的方式沿著上下方向相接觸。As described above, the two adjacent conductive particles 104 and 105 are brought into contact with each other in an arbitrary direction of the surface contact portion so that the plurality of conductive particles constituting the conductive portion 11 exhibit contactability in the front direction. In addition, the first directions AD of the two adjacent conductive particles 104 and 105 are not parallel but overlap or intersect with each other by the surface contact portion that is in contact with each other. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 8, the adjacent electroconductive particle 104 and 105 can be densely distributed along the vertical direction VD and the horizontal direction HD, and can contact each other. Therefore, the several electroconductive particle which comprises the electroconductive part 11 can contact along an up-down direction so that it may become electrically conductive with very high density|concentration in the electroconductive part 11.

並且,導電部11內的相鄰的導電性粒子104、105可通過如線接觸的接觸方式相接觸。與此關聯地,線接觸是指一個導電性粒子104的邊角接觸部中的一個與另一導電性粒子105的邊角接觸部中的一個相接觸。In addition, the adjacent conductive particles 104 and 105 in the conductive portion 11 can be in contact with each other by a contact method such as a line contact. In connection with this, the line contact means that one of the corner contact portions of one conductive particle 104 is in contact with one of the corner contact portions of the other conductive particle 105 .

如上所述,配置成無序取向並相互密集接觸的導電性粒子104、105可大幅增加在導電部11內的粒子之間的接觸面積。當通過由底面接觸部與側面接觸部組成的四角錐形狀的導電性粒子組成導電部11時,可容易引導相鄰的導電性粒子之間的面接觸。並且,多個導電性粒子在上述接觸方式中主要以面接觸的接觸方式進行接觸。因此,在組成導電部11的多個導電性粒子中並無接觸性低的方向,多個導電性粒子具有大幅增加的接觸面積。並且,在導電部11內,由於多個導電性粒子相結合成一個結構物,因此,可防止在導電部產生導電性粒子的脫離並增加導電部的耐久性。並且,由於多個導電性粒子以高密度分佈在導電部11內,因此,可提高導電部的電流密度。As described above, the conductive particles 104 and 105 arranged in a disordered orientation and in close contact with each other can significantly increase the contact area between the particles in the conductive portion 11 . When the electroconductive part 11 is comprised by the electroconductive particle of the quadrangular pyramid shape which consists of a bottom surface contact part and a side surface contact part, the surface contact between adjacent electroconductive particles can be easily guided. Moreover, in the said contact system, a some electroconductive particle is contacted mainly by the contact system of surface contact. Therefore, in the some electroconductive particle which comprises the electroconductive part 11, there is no direction in which the contact property is low, and a some electroconductive particle has the contact area which increases significantly. Moreover, in the conductive part 11, since a some electroconductive particle couple|bonds into one structure, it can prevent that electroconductive particle detaches in a conductive part, and can increase the durability of an electroconductive part. Moreover, since the some electroconductive particle is distributed in the electroconductive part 11 at high density, the current density of the electroconductive part can be improved.

作為另一例,導電部11可包括具有多種尺寸的導電性粒子。如圖4所示,多種尺寸的導電性粒子可組成導電部11並混合存在於導電部11內。在這種例中,組成導電部11的多個導電性粒子中的一部分導電性粒子和多個導電性粒子中的另一部分導電性粒子可具有互不相同的尺寸。並且,也可通過混合如圖2及圖4所示的導電性粒子、圖6所示的導電性粒子及圖7所示的導電性粒子中的兩種以上的導電性粒子來組成導電部11。在這種例中也相同,多種尺寸的導電性粒子可用於導電部11。As another example, the conductive portion 11 may include conductive particles having various sizes. As shown in FIG. 4 , conductive particles of various sizes may constitute the conductive portion 11 and be mixed in the conductive portion 11 . In such an example, a part of electroconductive particle in the some electroconductive particle which comprises the electroconductive part 11, and the other part of electroconductive particle in a some electroconductive particle may have mutually different size. Moreover, the electroconductive part 11 may be comprised by mixing two or more types of electroconductive particles among the electroconductive particles shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 , the electroconductive particles shown in FIG. 6 , and the electroconductive particles shown in FIG. 7 . . Also in this example, conductive particles of various sizes can be used for the conductive portion 11 .

由作為從底面逐漸變窄的立體物組成的導電性粒子通過面接觸相接觸,導電性粒子可通過各自的面接觸部進行滑動。因此,當檢查受檢設備時,導電部內的整體導電性粒子回應所施加的加壓力相對滑動,從而提高與加壓力相對應的工作性。並且,當導電性粒子以組成導電部的方式聚集在磁場內時,面接觸部的滑動特性可使得導電性粒子的移動變得容易。參照圖9,例示出在一實施例的連接器的導電部內的一實施例的導電性粒子相對滑動移動。The conductive particles composed of the three-dimensional objects gradually narrowed from the bottom surface are in contact with each other by surface contact, and the conductive particles can slide through the respective surface contact portions. Therefore, when the device to be inspected is inspected, the entirety of the conductive particles in the conductive portion relatively slides in response to the applied pressing force, thereby improving the workability corresponding to the pressing force. Furthermore, when the conductive particles are gathered in the magnetic field so as to constitute the conductive portion, the sliding properties of the surface contact portion can facilitate the movement of the conductive particles. Referring to FIG. 9 , it is illustrated that the conductive particles of one embodiment in the conductive portion of the connector of one embodiment are relatively slidingly moved.

相鄰的兩個導電性粒子104、105分別通過側面接觸部之間的面接觸相接觸。因此,在組成導電部的多個導電性粒子中,相鄰的兩個導電性粒子104、105相接觸,以能夠沿著側面接觸部中的一個滑動。並且,在相鄰的兩個導電性粒子通過底面接觸部實現面接觸的狀態下,相鄰的兩個導電性粒子也可沿著底面接觸部滑動。The adjacent two conductive particles 104 and 105 are in contact with each other by surface contact between the side contact portions. Therefore, among the plurality of conductive particles constituting the conductive portion, two adjacent conductive particles 104 and 105 are in contact with each other so as to be slidable along one of the side contact portions. In addition, in a state where the two adjacent conductive particles are in surface contact through the bottom surface contact portion, the adjacent two conductive particles can also slide along the bottom surface contact portion.

當檢查受檢設備時,加壓力P沿著上下方向VD中的下方施加於導電部11。相鄰的兩個導電性粒子中的一個導電性粒子104的側面接觸部中的一個和另一導電性粒子105的側面接觸部中的一個通過面接觸相接觸。一個導電性粒子104與另一導電性粒子105隨著回應加壓力P並通過實現面接觸的側面接觸部而被引導,可沿著滑動方向SD進行滑動。滑動方向SD可以為加壓力P的方向、垂直於加壓力P的方向或傾斜於加壓力P的方向。When the device under inspection is inspected, the pressing force P is applied to the conductive portion 11 along the lower side in the up-down direction VD. One of the side surface contact parts of one electroconductive particle 104 of two adjacent electroconductive particles and one of the side surface contact parts of the other electroconductive particle 105 are in contact with each other by surface contact. One electroconductive particle 104 and the other electroconductive particle 105 are guided by the side contact part which makes surface contact in response to the pressing force P, and can slide along the sliding direction SD. The sliding direction SD may be the direction of the pressing force P, the direction perpendicular to the pressing force P, or the direction inclined to the pressing force P.

在導電部11內,可滑動的兩個導電性粒子可回應加壓力P並容易沿著傾斜於水平方向HD或水平方向HD的方向移動。因此,連接器的導電部可通過加壓力P沿著水平方向膨脹,在此過程中,導電性粒子可滑動。通過加壓力滑動移動的導電性粒子可提高導電部在上下方向及水平方向中的工作性。並且,通過加壓力滑動移動的導電性粒子可分散施加於導電部的加壓力P並減少因加壓力P引起的受損。In the conductive portion 11 , the two conductive particles that are slidable can respond to the pressing force P and easily move along the direction inclined to the horizontal direction HD or the horizontal direction HD. Therefore, the conductive portion of the connector can be expanded in the horizontal direction by the pressing force P, and the conductive particles can slide during this process. The electroconductive particle which slides and moves by a pressing force can improve the workability|operativity of an electroconductive part in an up-down direction and a horizontal direction. Moreover, the electroconductive particle which slides by a pressurization force can disperse|distribute the pressurization force P applied to the electroconductive part, and can reduce the damage by the pressurization force P.

圖9示出的導電性粒子的接觸方式僅為例示。相鄰的導電性粒子可通過底面接觸部之間的面接觸相接觸,或者,可通過底面接觸部與側面接觸部中的一個之間的面接觸相接觸,或者,可通過底面接觸部或側面接觸部與邊角接觸部之間的接觸相接觸。上述接觸可定位在相對於上下方向VD的多種方向。因此,導電部內的多個導電性粒子可回應加壓力P並在前方向進行相對滑動。The contact form of the electroconductive particle shown in FIG. 9 is only an illustration. Adjacent conductive particles may be in contact by surface contact between bottom contact portions, or may be in contact by surface contact between the bottom contact portion and one of the side contact portions, or may be in contact by bottom contact portion or side surface The contact portion is in contact with the contact between the corner contact portion. The above-mentioned contacts can be positioned in various directions with respect to the up-down direction VD. Therefore, the plurality of conductive particles in the conductive portion can respond to the pressing force P and relatively slide in the forward direction.

如上所述,高密度分佈並實現相對滑動移動的導電性粒子可分佈在連接器的導電部中的下端到上端。即,在一實施例的連接器的導電部中,具有相同或不同尺寸且具有四角錐或四角錐台形狀的導電性粒子以高密度分佈在導電部的上側區間、導電部的中間區間及導電部的下側區間。因此,一實施例的連接器的導電部可消除因使用兩種粒子引起的問題,例如,不穩定結合力及接觸面積等。作為另一實施例,可在導電部的上側區間和下側區間配置有球形的導電性粒子,也可在導電部的中間區間配置有實施例的導電性粒子。在此例中,由於實施例的導電性粒子密集分佈,因此,可穩定確保實施例的導電性粒子與球形的導電性粒子之間的介面中的粒子之間的接觸面積。As described above, the conductive particles that are distributed at a high density and achieve relative sliding movement can be distributed from the lower end to the upper end in the conductive portion of the connector. That is, in the conductive portion of the connector of an embodiment, the conductive particles having the same or different sizes and having the shape of a quadrangular pyramid or a quadrangular pyramid are distributed at high density in the upper section of the conductive section, the middle section of the conductive section, and the conductive particles. the lower section of the section. Therefore, the conductive portion of the connector of an embodiment can eliminate the problems caused by using two kinds of particles, such as unstable bonding force and contact area.
