Abstract

A process for producing a solder powder is provided by which it is possible to efficiently obtain a solder powder having an average particle diameter of 0.05 µm or larger but less than 3 µm in a stable yield. The process for producing a solder powder comprises: a step in which a solid or liquid metal, a nonaqueous solvent, and balls for pulverization that have a diameter of 0.05-5 mm are introduced into a vessel to obtain a mixture; a step in which the mixture is heated to a temperature between (melting point of the metal)-5ºC and (melting point of the metal)+20ºC and stirred; a step in which the balls for pulverization are separated from the stirred mixture to obtain a mixture of a solder powder and the nonaqueous solvent; and a step in which the mixture of a solder powder and the nonaqueous solvent is subjected to solid-liquid separation to obtain the solder powder.

Description

はんだ粉の製造方法Solder powder manufacturing method
 本発明は、粒径が微細であるはんだ粉の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for producing solder powder having a fine particle size.
 携帯通信機器等の電子機器の小型化か進んでおり、それに組み込まれる電子部品・電子回路の小型化が進み、今後もこの傾向は続くものと考えられる。はんだ粉を配合したはんだペーストが使用される部品・回路のサイズは小さくなっており、基板のスルーホールやICチップの配線において100μm程度の線幅または径に対応したファインピッチソルダリング技術の要求に適合したはんだペーストが必要となってきている。この場合、用いるはんだペーストに配合するはんだ粉の平均粒径は、5μm以下であることが望まれる場合がある。今後予想される電子部品や回路の更なる小型化の要請に対応するために、はんだペーストに配合するはんだ粉として、平均粒径3μm未満、更には平均粒径1μm未満のはんだ粉が要望されることが増加すると考えられる。 The downsizing of electronic devices such as mobile communication devices is progressing, and the downsizing of electronic components and electronic circuits incorporated therein is expected, and this trend will continue in the future. The size of parts and circuits that use solder paste mixed with solder powder is becoming smaller, and it is necessary for fine pitch soldering technology that supports line widths and diameters of about 100 μm in substrate through holes and IC chip wiring. A suitable solder paste is needed. In this case, the average particle size of the solder powder blended in the solder paste used may be desired to be 5 μm or less. In order to meet the demand for further miniaturization of electronic components and circuits, solder powder having an average particle size of less than 3 μm and an average particle size of less than 1 μm is required as a solder powder to be blended in the solder paste. Is thought to increase.
 従来よりはんだ粉は、ディスクアトマイズ法やガスアトマイズ法にてその多くが製造されているが、これらの方法では平均粒径10μm以下のはんだ粉を得ることが困難であった。特許文献1には、ガスアトマイズ法でも製造条件を調整することにより、平均粒径5μm以下のはんだ粉が得られることが記載されている。しかし、ディスクアトマイズ法やガスアトマイズ法で平均粒径4μm以下のはんだ粉が得られた報告例はない。 Conventionally, many solder powders have been manufactured by a disk atomizing method or a gas atomizing method, but it has been difficult to obtain a solder powder having an average particle size of 10 μm or less by these methods. Patent Document 1 describes that solder powder having an average particle size of 5 μm or less can be obtained by adjusting the manufacturing conditions even in the gas atomization method. However, there is no report example in which solder powder having an average particle size of 4 μm or less was obtained by the disk atomizing method or the gas atomizing method.
また、ディスクアトマイズ法、ガスアトマイズ法以外のはんだ粉の製法としては、特許文献2に、オイルとハンダ溶融物を攪拌することによりはんだ粉を得る方法が記載されている。特許文献3には、微細粒状にされたリフローはんだを製造する方法が記載されているが、いずれの文献でも、平均粒径3μm未満のはんだ粉は得られていない。 As a method for producing solder powder other than the disk atomizing method and the gas atomizing method, Patent Document 2 describes a method of obtaining solder powder by stirring oil and solder melt. Patent Document 3 describes a method for producing a reflow solder having a fine particle shape, but no solder powder having an average particle diameter of less than 3 μm is obtained in any of the documents.

In order to make it easier to obtain solder powder having a uniform metal composition, it is preferable to use an alloy.
 <非水系溶媒>
本発明での非水系溶媒とはその沸点が、150℃以上であるものが好適であり、200℃以上であるものが特に好適である。後述するように、はんだ粉を得るためには、非水系溶媒として得ようとするはんだ粉の融点よりも高い沸点を持つものが好ましいが、攪拌をおこなう容器に圧力容器を用いることにより、雰囲気圧力を上げ、常圧の沸点がはんだ粉の融点より低い非水系溶媒でも、使用が可能である。しかしながら製造装置に耐圧性能が必要となるので、沸点は、得ようとするはんだ粉の溶融温度よりも10℃以上高いことが望ましい。更に非水系溶媒として、はんだ粉が酸素と反応して、表面に酸化物を形成しやすいために、還元性を有する溶媒であることが更に好ましい。
<Non-aqueous solvent>
The non-aqueous solvent in the present invention preferably has a boiling point of 150 ° C. or higher, and particularly preferably has a boiling point of 200 ° C. or higher. As will be described later, in order to obtain solder powder, it is preferable to have a boiling point higher than the melting point of the solder powder to be obtained as a non-aqueous solvent, but by using a pressure vessel as a vessel for stirring, the atmospheric pressure It is possible to use a non-aqueous solvent whose boiling point at normal pressure is lower than the melting point of the solder powder. However, since the pressure resistance performance is required for the manufacturing apparatus, the boiling point is desirably higher by 10 ° C. than the melting temperature of the solder powder to be obtained. Further, as the non-aqueous solvent, the solder powder reacts with oxygen and easily forms an oxide on the surface, so that a solvent having a reducing property is more preferable.
例えば、このような非水系溶媒の一例として、沸点が150℃から400℃の範囲のアルコール系溶媒が挙げられる。具体的にはSn-Ag-Cu系はんだの融点が218℃の場合、且つ常圧下で以下に述べる攪拌操作を行ない、微粉化されたはんだ粉を得るためには、非水系溶媒の沸点は220℃以上であることが好ましく、250℃以上であることが更に好ましい。 For example, an alcohol solvent having a boiling point in the range of 150 ° C. to 400 ° C. is an example of such a non-aqueous solvent. Specifically, when the melting point of the Sn—Ag—Cu solder is 218 ° C. and the following stirring operation is performed under normal pressure, a non-aqueous solvent has a boiling point of 220 in order to obtain finely divided solder powder. It is preferable that the temperature is higher than or equal to ° C, more preferably higher than or equal to 250 ° C.

Examples of such a solvent include —CH 2 —CHOH, or —CHR—CHOH, —CR 1 R 2 —CHOH, ═CHCHOH, ═CRCHOH (R, R 1 , R 2 : side chain) in the molecule.

<粉砕用ボール>
本発明に用いる粉砕用ボールとしては、材質としてセラミックス系を用いたアルミナボール、ジルコニアボール、ムライトボール、ガラスボール、金属系のステンレスボールや鉄ボール等を使用することができ、特に材質に制限はないが、粉砕用ボールの材質として、耐久性が高く、はんだ粉への不純物の混入が少ない利点のある、ジルコニア、アルミナ、ステンレス鋼が、特に好適である。
<Crushing ball>
As the grinding balls used in the present invention, alumina balls, zirconia balls, mullite balls, glass balls, metallic stainless balls, iron balls, etc. using ceramics can be used, and the material is not particularly limited. Nonetheless, zirconia, alumina, and stainless steel are particularly suitable as the material for the ball for pulverization, which has the advantages of high durability and low contamination of solder powder.
粉砕用ボールは、粒径が0.05mm~5mmであることが好ましい。粒径15mm超の粉砕用ボールのみを使用すると、目的とする微細な粒径を持つはんだ粉を得ることが難しくなり、粒径0.05mm未満の粉砕用ボールのみを使用すると、攪拌後の固液分離に時間を要することがある。
より粒径の小さいはんだ粉を容易に得るためには、粉砕用ボールの粒径は、0.1~5mmが更に好ましく、0.1~3mmが一層好ましく、0.1~1mmが更に一層好ましい。粉砕用ボールを大きな粒径のものと小さな粒径のものとを組み合わせて使用することも可能である。この場合には、大きなボールサイズは特に粒径15mmにこだわる必要はなく、例えば、粒径30mmでも良い。少なくとも粒径0.05mm~15mmの粉砕用ボールが50質量%入っていることが必要である。
The grinding balls preferably have a particle size of 0.05 mm to 5 mm. If only pulverizing balls having a particle diameter of more than 15 mm are used, it becomes difficult to obtain solder powder having a desired fine particle diameter. If only pulverizing balls having a particle diameter of less than 0.05 mm are used, solidification after stirring is difficult. Liquid separation may take time.
In order to easily obtain a solder powder having a smaller particle diameter, the particle diameter of the ball for grinding is more preferably 0.1 to 5 mm, still more preferably 0.1 to 3 mm, and still more preferably 0.1 to 1 mm. . It is also possible to use a pulverizing ball in combination of a large particle size and a small particle size. In this case, the large ball size need not be particularly concerned with the particle size of 15 mm, and may be, for example, a particle size of 30 mm. It is necessary that at least 50% by mass of grinding balls having a particle size of 0.05 mm to 15 mm be contained.
粉砕用ボールの表面に、はんだが付着しにくい材質であるダイヤモンドライクカーボン(DLC)やB,C,N等の化合物を形成することができる。 Diamond-like carbon (DLC) or a compound such as B, C, or N, which is a material to which solder is difficult to adhere, can be formed on the surface of the grinding ball.
 <混合物の体積比>
前記混合物の体積比は、用いる非水系溶媒の体積に対して、金属原料は、0.1体積%~20体積%が好ましく、0.1体積%~10体積%が一層好ましい。粉砕用ボールは、用いる非水系溶媒の体積に対して、20体積%~600体積%が好ましい。金属原料が0.1体積%未満の場合、生産性が低くなり、20体積%超の場合には、得られるはんだ粉の粒径が十分小さくならないことがある。粉砕用ボールが20体積%未満の場合には、得られるはんだ粉の粒径が十分小さくならないことがあり、600体積%超の場合は、粉砕用ボールの表面に原料用金属が多く付着した状態となることがある。前記混合物を容器中で静置したときに、前記粉砕用ボールの上面と前記非水系溶媒の上面の高さが、略同一となるように、前記粉砕用ボールの前記非水系溶媒に対する体積比率を調整することにより、微粒子のはんだ粉が得やすくなるので、更に好ましい。
<Volume ratio of the mixture>
The volume ratio of the mixture is preferably 0.1% by volume to 20% by volume, and more preferably 0.1% by volume to 10% by volume with respect to the volume of the non-aqueous solvent used. The grinding balls are preferably 20% by volume to 600% by volume with respect to the volume of the non-aqueous solvent used. When the metal raw material is less than 0.1% by volume, the productivity is low, and when it exceeds 20% by volume, the particle size of the obtained solder powder may not be sufficiently small. When the pulverizing ball is less than 20% by volume, the particle size of the obtained solder powder may not be sufficiently small. When the pulverizing ball is more than 600% by volume, a large amount of raw material metal adheres to the surface of the pulverizing ball. It may become. When the mixture is allowed to stand in a container, the volume ratio of the grinding ball to the non-aqueous solvent is set so that the height of the top surface of the grinding ball and the top surface of the non-aqueous solvent are substantially the same. By adjusting, it becomes easier to obtain fine solder powder, which is more preferable.
<加熱・攪拌工程>
前記金属原料と、前記非水系溶媒と、前記粉砕用ボールの混合物を加熱・攪拌することにより、平均粒径が0.05μm以上、3μm未満であるはんだ粉を生成することができる。
<Heating and stirring process>
By heating and stirring the mixture of the metal raw material, the non-aqueous solvent, and the grinding balls, a solder powder having an average particle size of 0.05 μm or more and less than 3 μm can be generated.
 加熱・攪拌する雰囲気は、不活性ガスまたは還元性ガスとすることが好ましい。雰囲気を空気とした場合、生成したはんだ粉の表面に厚い酸化膜が生成することがあり、雰囲気中の酸素濃度は低いほうが好ましい。不活性ガスとしては、窒素、アルゴン等が挙げられ、還元性ガスとしては、水素または水素と不活性ガスの混合ガスが挙げられる。 The atmosphere for heating and stirring is preferably an inert gas or a reducing gas. When the atmosphere is air, a thick oxide film may be formed on the surface of the generated solder powder, and it is preferable that the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere is low. Examples of the inert gas include nitrogen and argon, and examples of the reducing gas include hydrogen or a mixed gas of hydrogen and an inert gas.

It is preferable to do. More preferably, the temperature may be the same temperature as the melting point to 17 ° C. higher than the melting point. More preferably, the temperature may be 7 ° C. higher than the melting point to 12 ° C. higher than the melting point. By heating and stirring at a temperature near the melting point of the alloy composition, the yield of solder powder (solder powder yield / solder alloy raw material input amount) becomes suitable. The heating temperature is set to a temperature lower than the boiling point of the non-aqueous solvent to be used (in the case of heating and stirring under pressure, the boiling point under pressure).
 攪拌は、攪拌羽根を回転することによりおこなうことができ、ミル等の粉砕用ボールを用いることができる粉砕機を用いておこなってもよい。回転数等の粉砕条件は、混合物の内容と得ようとするはんだ粉の平均粒径に応じて、適宜選択すれば良く、攪拌羽根等の回転数を上昇させることにより、得られるはんだ粉の平均粒径を小さくすることができる。例えば、攪拌羽根を用いる場合、その回転数は、100~100000
rpmの範囲、攪拌羽根の周速は、100~5000cm/secの範囲に設定することができる。
Stirring can be performed by rotating a stirring blade, and may be performed using a pulverizer that can use pulverizing balls such as a mill. The pulverization conditions such as the number of revolutions may be appropriately selected according to the content of the mixture and the average particle diameter of the solder powder to be obtained. By increasing the number of revolutions of the stirring blade, the average of the obtained solder powder The particle size can be reduced. For example, when a stirring blade is used, the rotational speed is 100 to 100,000.
The range of rpm and the peripheral speed of the stirring blade can be set in the range of 100 to 5000 cm / sec.
<粉砕用ボールの分離>
 加熱・攪拌後、混合物は、攪拌をおこなった状態で、はんだ粉の融点より10℃以上低い温度まで冷却する。その後、混合物から粉砕用ボールをメッシュを通す等の公知の手段により分離して、はんだ粉と非水系溶媒の混合物を得る。
<Separation of balls for grinding>
After the heating / stirring, the mixture is cooled to a temperature lower by 10 ° C. or more than the melting point of the solder powder in a state of stirring. Thereafter, the mixture is separated from the mixture by a known means such as passing a pulverizing ball through a mesh to obtain a mixture of solder powder and a non-aqueous solvent.
<固液分離>
 前記工程で得られたはんだ粉と非水系溶媒の混合物の固液分離をおこなう。固液分離は、遠心分離、フィルタープレスによるろ過等の公知の方法によりおこなうことができる。なお、用いた非水系溶媒が、はんだ粉の分散媒として支障ない場合には、固液分離をおこなう必要はない。
<Solid-liquid separation>
Solid-liquid separation of the mixture of the solder powder and non-aqueous solvent obtained in the above step is performed. Solid-liquid separation can be performed by a known method such as centrifugation or filtration with a filter press. In addition, when the used non-aqueous solvent does not have a trouble as a dispersion medium of solder powder, it is not necessary to perform solid-liquid separation.
<洗浄・乾燥>
 固液分離したはんだ粉は、溶媒で洗浄することができる。前記溶媒としては、メタノール、エタノール等の低沸点であるアルコールの有機溶媒が好適な例としてあげられる。洗浄後、真空乾燥等の高温加熱をおこなわない方法で乾燥することにより、使用した非水系溶媒の残留が少ないはんだ粉を得ることができる。
<Washing and drying>
The solid-liquid separated solder powder can be washed with a solvent. A suitable example of the solvent is an organic solvent of alcohol having a low boiling point such as methanol or ethanol.

10 g of solder alloy wire 1 mmΦ having a composition of Sn 99% by mass, Ag 0.3% by mass and Cu 0.7% by mass was weighed, and this solder wire was put into a 300 mL separable flask. As a result of measuring the melting point of the solder alloy wire with a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) (manufactured by Rigaku Corporation, Thermo plus DSC 8230), the melting point was 218 ° C. Next, 300 g of 0.3 mmφ zirconia balls were charged into the separable flask, and 100 mL of tetraethylene glycol was further charged to obtain a mixture. Thereafter, the upper lid of the separable flask was sealed and sealed, and nitrogen gas was allowed to flow at 100 mL / min to perform gas replacement for 10 minutes. Next, in a state where stirring was performed by rotating a stainless steel stirring blade having a rotational diameter of 6 cm installed in the separable flask at 700 rpm, the mixture was subjected to 14 kinds of temperatures (heating temperature) shown in Table 1 ). The temperature of the mixture was measured with a thermocouple installed in a separable flask. After maintaining the mixture at the heating temperature for 1 hour, the mixture was cooled at a cooling rate of 5 ° C./min while maintaining the stirring state. When the mixture became 40 ° C. or lower, the rotation of the stirring blade was stopped.
