Background technology
The applicant had before proposed to have from the teeth outwards the conductivity electroless plating powder (with reference to patent documentation 1) of the microspike that is formed by nickel or nickel alloy.Electroless plating particle in this powder shows good conductivity by the effect of its microspike.This electroless plating particle by the water paste with spherical core be added on the electroless plating that comprises nickel salt, reducing agent, complexing agent etc. in bathing electroless plating operation (A operation) and in the water paste of spherical core, the constituent of electroless plating liquid is separated at least 2 kinds of liquid, simultaneously and through the time ground electroless plating operation (B operation) of adding respectively make.In this manufacture method, in the A operation, when the surface of core material particles forms the nickel overlay film, form the nuclear that generates starting point as projection.This nuclear is grown up in the B operation and is formed projection.The electroless plating particle that obtains so for example, can use well in the conductive adhesive that is used for the bonding opposed connecting circuit of conducting, anisotropic conductive film, anisotropic-electroconductive adhesive etc.
Outside this technology, the nickel core material of the core material particles surface attachment particle diameter 50nm that has proposed in patent documentation 2 at particle diameter 4 μ m then carries out the electroless plating of nickel, obtains thus having the method for the conductive particle of jut.But in the method, because a little less than the adaptation of core material particles and nickel core material, so the nickel dam on coating core material particles surface and the globality of jut are not enough, when conductive particle was exerted pressure, jut was damaged easily.In addition, it is very difficult to adhere to the 50nm nickel core material very less than its particle diameter on the core material particles surface uniform ground of particle diameter 4 μ m.This is because the aggegation each other of nickel core material is adhered to easier generation than the nickel core material on the core material particles surface.Its result, the nickel core material agglutinating particle that the particle diameter that forms of aggegation is large each other is often in the core material particles surface attachment, thereby forms easily very large jut.
In addition, along with more miniaturization of e-machine class in recent years, the circuit of electronic circuit is wide to become more and more less with spacing.Accompany with it, the electroless plating powder as using in above-mentioned conductive adhesive, anisotropic conductive film, the anisotropic-electroconductive adhesive etc. requires its particle diameter little.But, if contract short grained particle diameter, particle aggegation each other just occurs easily, therefore, although use the little particle of particle diameter, also can become large because aggegation makes apparent particle diameter (aggregate particle size).In addition, when using the little particle of particle diameter, aspect improving conductivity (reduction resistance) when using bulky grain difficulty.

Embodiment
Below, be described based on the preferred embodiment of the present invention.Electric conduction powder of the present invention is the electric conduction powder that is formed with nickel overlay film or nickel alloy overlay film (following these overlay films are generically and collectively referred to as " nickel overlay film ") on the surface of core material particles.One of feature that electric conduction powder of the present invention has is to have a plurality of from the outstanding jut in nickel overlay film surface.Below, this jut is described.
Forming a plurality of juts on the surface of electric conduction powder, as described in the background technology item of this specification, is technology known in this technical field.With respect to such background technology, in the present invention, as jut, adopt the jut of given shape, significantly different from existing electric conduction powder in this.Particularly, the jut in the electric conduction powder of the present invention is characterised in that draw ratio is more than 1.So-called draw ratio in this specification refers to the height H of jut and at the ratio of the jut width D of jut base portion, that is, is the value with the H/D definition.From this definition as can be known, draw ratio becomes the yardstick of the flexibility of jut, and this value is larger, means that the shape of jut is more elongated.
Have the draw ratio of this jut in the existing electric conduction powder of jut, headed by the patent documentation 1 of in the background technology item of this specification, narrating, in the limit known to the inventor, be not easy to be made for more than 1.Jut in the existing electric conduction powder has so-called short and thick shape (for example with reference to Fig. 2 described later).Relative therewith, the jut in the electric conduction powder of the present invention, for example shown in Figure 1 as described later, be the elongated protrusion that extends to general radial from particle surface.The present inventor etc. are more than 1 to studying rear judgement with the draw ratio of jut by making this value, and namely more elongated than in the past by the shape that makes jut, it is very high that conductivity just becomes.Its reason can think, when using electric conduction powder conduction electrode of the present invention, at the thin oxidation overlay film of electrode surface self-assembling formation or when having a mind to form the oxidation overlay film of electrode, if the draw ratio of jut is large, then breaks through easily this oxidation overlay film.Can think that in addition when using electric conduction powder to form anisotropic conductive film, if the draw ratio of jut is large, then the resin removing property just uprises, so conductivity uprises.In view of this reason, consider also that if the value of the draw ratio of jut is excessive then jut can be damaged, so the preferable range of draw ratio is 1.0~4.0, more preferably 1.0~3.5, more preferably 1.0~3.0.Conductive particle with the large jut of such draw ratio, for example, can be by method manufacturing described later.
When being conceived in the electric conduction powder each particle, it is desirability that the draw ratio of the jut that each particle has all satisfies above-mentioned scope, but the present inventor studies judgement, if the jut ratio that draw ratio satisfies above-mentioned scope is more than 40%, is preferably more than 45%, more preferably more than 50%, just can obtains sufficient conductivity with respect to whole bump counts.
The assay method of above-mentioned draw ratio is as described below.Use each particle in the electron microscope amplifying observation electric conduction powder.For 1 particle, at least 1 jut is measured its base portion length D and height H.At this moment, than take observe be present in particle central authorities in the image jut as determination object, preferably take the jut that is present in the particle periphery as determination object, this is very important for correct size up.Carry out such mensuration with at least 20 different particles as object.Resulting so a plurality of draw ratio data are carried out arithmetic average, should be worth as draw ratio.In addition, shown in Figure 1 as described later, because the cross section of jut is the little shape of anisotropy (for example circular), so the numerical value of the base portion length D of jut is less with the possibility that the particle viewing angle changes.
The draw ratio of jut as mentioned above, and the base portion length D of this jut itself and the height H of jut itself, for base portion length D, be preferably 0.05~0.5 μ m, be particularly preferably 0.1~0.4 μ m, for height H, be preferably 0.05~0.5 μ m, be particularly preferably 0.1~0.4 μ m.When the height H of the base portion length D of jut and jut was in this scope, conductivity further improved.
Draw ratio in each particle of electric conduction powder is the particle diameter that the quantity of the projection more than 1 also depends on particle, be that 3 μ m are when following at the particle diameter of particle as described later, from the aspect that the conductivity of electric conduction powder improves more, preferred 2~40 projections of per 1 particle are particularly preferably 2~20 projections.
The nickel overlay film of each jut in the electric conduction powder and coating core material particles forms non-individual body.Therefore, jut and nickel overlay film are made of nickel or nickel alloy equally.Here, so-called " non-individual body " means nickel overlay film and jut and all is made of same material, and jut is formed by single operation, and do not exist seam etc. to damage the such position of associative perception between nickel overlay film and jut.Therefore, for example form the nickel overlay film on the surface of core material particles, adhere to the nuclear particle that jut forms usefulness thereon, the jut that forms as the starting point of growing up with this nuclear particle, because jut is not formed by single operation, so be not included in the said non-individual body of the present invention.Because jut and nickel overlay film form non-individual body, so the intensity of jut is guaranteed that therefore, when using electric conduction powder, even exert pressure, jut can be not damaged yet.Its result can access good conductivity.
About the thickness of above-mentioned nickel overlay film, if it is excessively thin, electric conduction powder just is difficult to show sufficient conductivity, on the contrary, if blocked up, just easily from the core material particles sur-face peeling.From these viewpoints, the thickness of nickel overlay film (thickness at the non-existent position of jut) is preferably 0.01~0.3 μ m, more preferably 0.05~0.2 μ m.The thickness of nickel overlay film can dissolve from electric conduction powder by making nickel, and the nickel of dissolving is carried out quantitatively and obtains.In addition, according to the method, nickel overlay film just, and the nickel of jut also dissolves, but because the ratio that jut occupies in nickel is all is very low, so the nickel amount of jut can be ignored.
In the electric conduction powder of the present invention, the shape of each particle is preferably sphere.Here the grain shape of saying refers to remove the grain shape of jut.The particle that results from is for sphere and have jut, and the conductivity of electric conduction powder of the present invention uprises.
In the electric conduction powder of the present invention, the size of each particle can suitably be set according to the concrete purposes of electric conduction powder.The result of the present inventor's research judges, because the relation of the draw ratio of above-mentioned jut, the conductivity that the conductive particle particle diameter is little is high.Particularly, the conductive particle particle diameter is preferably 1~10 μ m, is particularly preferably 1~5 μ m, especially is preferably 1~3 μ m.In addition, the conductive particle particle diameter does not comprise the height of jut.The particle diameter of conductive particle can be measured by electron microscope observation.In addition, also can measure respectively particle diameter and the nickel overlay film thickness of core material particles, obtain from these values.
If the particle diameter of conductive particle is little, then there is the easily tendency of cohesion.If the generation aggegation then uses the anisotropic conductive film of conductive particle to have the defective that produces easily short circuit.In addition, wait processing to untie cohesion if implement pulverizings, then the nickel overlay film is peeled off, thus the reason of formation conductivity decline.Consider that from this viewpoint in electric conduction powder of the present invention, the dispersiveness that improves each particle is very important.Therefore, in the present invention, the weight that the primary particle in the conductive particle is shared is more than 85 % by weight with respect to the weight of electric conduction powder, is preferably more than 90 % by weight, more preferably more than 92 % by weight.In order to improve the dispersiveness of conductive particle, for example make conductive particle according to method described later and get final product.The shared weight of primary particle is measured according to following method.The 0.1g electric conduction powder is joined in the 100mL water, use ultrasonic homogenizer to disperse 1 minute.Then, measure particle size distribution by coulter counter method.Calculated the part by weight of primary particle by this result.
As previously mentioned, nickel overlay film and the jut in the conductive particle is made of same material.Particularly, consisted of by metallic nickel or nickel alloy.In nickel alloy, for example, comprise nickel-phosphor alloy.Nickel-phosphor alloy is the alloy that generates when using sodium hypophosphite as the reducing agent of nickel in electric conduction powder manufacturing described later.
In the electric conduction powder of the present invention, the surface of each particle can be formed by nickel or nickel alloy, and perhaps the surface of nickel or nickel alloy can coat with noble metal.As noble metal, preferred high metallic gold or the palladium of conductivity, particularly preferably gold.Coat by this, just can further improve the conductivity of electric conduction powder.The thickness that noble metal coats is generally about 0.001~0.5 μ m.This thickness can be calculated from addition and the chemical analysis of precious metal ion.
The manufacture method that is fit to of electric conduction powder of the present invention then, is described.This manufacture method roughly is divided into (1) will be used as raw material at the resulting particle of A operation in A operation and (2) that the core material particles surface forms nickel initial stage thin layer, form these 2 operations of B operation of purpose conductive particle.Below, these operations are described respectively.
In the A operation, mixing comprises the electroless plating bath of dispersant and nickel ion and at area load the core material particles of noble metal is arranged, thereby forms nickel initial stage thin layer on the surface of core material particles.The kind of core material particles is not particularly limited, and can use in organic substance and the inorganic matter any one.If consider electroless plating method described later, then core material particles is preferably the particle that can disperse in water.Therefore, core material particles preferably is in fact insoluble particle in water, more preferably bronsted lowry acids and bases bronsted lowry is not also dissolved or the particle of sex change.What is called can be disperseed in water, refers to by common dispersion means such as stirrings and can be formed in the outstanding turbid body that disperses in fact in the water.
The shape of core material particles is very large on the shape impact of purpose conductive particle.As discussed previously, because coat the thin thickness of the nickel overlay film on core material particles surface, so the shape of core material particles almost directly reflects the shape of conductive particle.Because the conductive particle sphere that is preferably as discussed previously is so the shape of core material particles also is preferably sphere.
When core material particles was sphere, the particle diameter of core material particles had a great impact the particle diameter tool of purpose conductive particle.As previously mentioned, owing to coat the thinner thickness of the nickel overlay film on core material particles surface, so the particle diameter of core material particles has directly reflected the particle diameter of conductive particle basically.Consider that from this viewpoint the particle diameter of core material particles can be same degree with the particle diameter of purpose conductive particle.Particularly, be preferably 1~10 μ m, be particularly preferably 1~5 μ m, especially be preferably 1~3 μ m.The particle diameter of core material particles can adopt with the same method of the particle diameter of conductive particle and measure.
The particle size distribution of the core powder that records by said method has one fixed width.In general, the width of powder granularity distribution represents by the coefficient of alteration shown in the following formula (1).
Coefficient of alteration (%)=(standard deviation/average grain diameter) * 100 ... (1)
This coefficient of alteration is large, and then the expression distribution is wide, and on the other hand, coefficient of alteration is little, and then expression has sharp grain size distribution.In the present invention, as core material particles, preferably using this coefficient of alteration is below 30%, is particularly preferably below 20%, especially is preferably the material below 10%.Its reason is when using conductive particle of the present invention as the conductive particle in the anisotropic conductive film, to have the advantage of the ratio that improves the effective participation connection.

Be not particularly limited having implemented the core material particles of pre-treatment and the method for non-electrolytic nickel plating bath mixing.For example, can in advance non-electrolytic nickel plating bath be heated to the temperature that to carry out the nickel ion reduction, and under this state, the core material particles of having implemented pre-treatment be put in the non-electrolytic nickel plating bath.By this operation, the nickel ion reduction, the nickel that is generated by reduction forms the initial stage thin layer on the core material particles surface.The initial stage thin layer is preferably formed as thickness 0.1~10nm, is particularly preferably 0.1~5nm.At this moment, jut not yet forms.
Emphasis in the A operation is the core material particles the relationship between quantities of nickel ion amount and input contained in the non-electrolysis plating bath.Particularly, the nickel ion concentration with respect to 1 liter is adjusted to 0.0001~0.008 mol/L, preferably is adjusted to the non-electrolytic nickel plating bath of 0.0001~0.005 mol/L, and using the surface area summation is 1~15m 2, be preferably 2~8m 2The core material particles of amount.Thus, can form at an easy rate the initial stage thin layer with above-mentioned thickness.In addition, by making nickel ion amount and core material particles the relationship between quantities as mentioned above, can effectively prevent from forming the core material particles cohesion each other of initial stage thin layer.This is in the little situation of core material particles particle diameter, and for example particle diameter is effective especially in the following situation of 3 μ m.
The reduction of nickel ion is then carried out the B operation after finishing.The B operation is followed the A operation and is carried out, and does not carry out resulting core material particles with nickel initial stage thin layer in the A operation separated from liquid and waits operation.Therefore, in the water paste that comprises the core material particles with nickel initial stage thin layer, remaining have a dispersant that adds in the A operation.In the B operation, in comprising the A operation in resulting core material particles with nickel initial stage thin layer and the A operation in the water paste of employed dispersant, through the time ground add nickel ion and reducing agent.So-called " through the time ground add ", be to get rid of the meaning of quickly adding nickel ion and reducing agent, it refers to add continuously or intermittently nickel ion and reducing agent through the regular hour.At this moment, the interpolation of nickel ion and reducing agent opportunity can be in full accord, perhaps can add first nickel ion, then adds reducing agent again.Also can be reverse order.In addition, when add finishing, interpolation that can the FEFO nickel ion then finishes the interpolation of reducing agent again.Also can be reverse order.
As the nickel source of employed nickel ion in the B operation, can use with the A operation in identical nickel source, employed nickel source.Also be same for reducing agent.
In the B operation, by the reduction of nickel ion, at first in liquid, generate small nickel nuclear particle, this nuclear particle is attached on the surface of resulting core material particles with nickel initial stage thin layer in the A operation, make its growth with the nuclear particle that adheres to as starting point, form jut.By adopting the method, can effectively prevent particle cohesion each other, and can to form at an easy rate draw ratio be jut more than 1.Relative therewith, in the patent documentation 1 described in the background technology item of this specification, at first form overlay film on the surface of core material particles, form simultaneously the nuclear (the 1st operation) as the generation starting point of projection, then form projection (the 2nd operation) by this nuclear is grown up in subsequent handling.In the method, owing to must make the nickel ion in the 1st operation higher, so, take it as reason, just cause easily particle agglutination.In addition, be difficult to form the high jut of draw ratio.
In the reduction of nickel ion in the B operation, it is very important maintaining water paste in the pH scope that the dispersant (this dispersant also has remaining in the B operation) that adds in the A operation shows dispersion effect.Thus, can effectively prevent particle cohesion each other.The adjustment of pH can monitor the pH of water paste on one side, in hydrotropism slurry add the alkali such as the acid such as various inorganic acids or NaOH on one side.The adjusting range of pH adopts suitable value to get final product according to employed dispersant.When using that for example non-ionic surface active agent is as dispersant, preferably the pH with water paste maintains 5~10 scope.When using zwitterionic surfactant as dispersant, preferably the pH with water paste maintains 5~8 scope.When using water soluble polymer as dispersant, also preferred pH with water paste maintains 5~8 scope.
In the nickel ion reduction in the B operation, the nickel ion amount of adding in hydrotropism's slurry and reduction dosage also are very important.Thus, can successfully form the high jut core body of draw ratio.As actual conditions, in water paste, add through time ground that to be equivalent to the nickel amount of separating out hourly be 25~100nm, be preferably nickel ion and the reducing agent of the amount of 40~60nm.By adopting this adding conditional, separating out in nuclear particle than preferentially producing in the thin layer in the early stage of nickel forms the high jut core body of draw ratio easily.
When adding nickel ion and reducing agent, water paste can be heated to set point of temperature, thereby nickel ion is carried out smoothly by the reduction of reducing agent.When adding nickel ion and reducing agent, also can stir first water paste, so that the nickel of reduction evenly generates.
