The present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet.
When various members typified by an electronic part are processed, the following has been generally performed. Each of the members is temporarily fixed to a support with a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, and after the processing, the processed member is peeled from the support. In, for example, Patent Literature 1, there is a description of a method including: processing a substrate (member to be processed) under a state in which the substrate is temporarily fixed to a support via an adhesive layer and a separation layer; breaking the separation layer through laser light irradiation after the processing to peel the substrate from the support together with the adhesive layer; and then removing the adhesive layer from the substrate.
[PTL 1] JP 5875850 B2
However, the above-mentioned method involves a problem in terms of production cost because the method requires a step of removing the adhesive layer from the member, followed by the washing of the bonded surface of the member. In addition, the method involves a problem in that the application of the laser light at a high output causes damage to the member.
The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the related art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that can temporarily fix an adherend in a peelable manner, the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet being free from requiring the application of high-output laser light at the time of the peeling of the adherend and being capable of eliminating the need for a step of washing the adherend after the peeling.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, including a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing a UV absorber and an active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive, wherein the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has a transmittance of 50% or less for light having a wavelength of 355 nm.
In one embodiment, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer has a thickness of 20 μm or less.
In one embodiment, the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has a visible light transmittance of 50% or more.
In one embodiment, the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has a haze value of 70% or less.
In one embodiment, the active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive further contains a photopolymerization initiator and a photosensitizer.
In one embodiment, the UV absorber has a 5% weight loss temperature of 350° C. or less.
In one embodiment, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer further contains particles.
According to the present invention, the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that can temporarily fix an adherend in a peelable manner, the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet being free from requiring the application of high-output laser light at the time of the peeling of the adherend and being capable of eliminating the need for a step of washing the adherend after the peeling, can be provided.
In the present invention, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer contains the UV absorber, and hence the adherend can be peeled by laser light irradiation. More specifically, when the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is irradiated with laser light, a gas produced by the decomposition of the UV absorber and/or a gas produced by the decomposition of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer through the heat generation of the UV absorber deforms the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and as a result, peelability is expressed in its portion irradiated with the laser light. According to the present invention, the deformation can be caused in a fine range as described above, and hence even when a small adherend is processed, the adherend can be satisfactorily peeled. In addition, even when a small adherend that needs to be peeled and a small adherend that does not need to be peeled are temporarily fixed so as to be adjacent to each other, only the small adherend that needs to be peeled can be peeled, and unnecessary separation of the small adherend that does not need to be peeled can be prevented.
Further, the present invention is characterized in that the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer contains the active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive. The irradiation of such pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention with an active energy ray reduces the pressure-sensitive adhesive strength of the entirety of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. When the laser light irradiation is performed as described above after the reduction in pressure-sensitive adhesive strength by the irradiation of the entirety of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having bonded thereto an adherend with the active energy ray, an adhesive residue after the peeling of the adherend can be prevented. The use of such pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can omit the washing of the adherend to be performed after the peeling. In addition, the formation of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing the active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive can reduce a laser output at the time of the peeling. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention expresses its peelability with low-output laser light, and hence the use of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can reduce damage to the adherend at the time of the peeling to prevent the breakage of the adherend. Examples of the active energy ray include a gamma ray, UV light, visible light, an infrared ray (heat ray), a radio wave, an alpha ray, a beta ray, an electron beam, a plasma flow, an ionizing ray, and a particle beam. Of those, UV light is preferred.
The transmittance of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention for light having a wavelength of 355 nm is 50% or less. In the present invention, the laser output at the time of the peeling can be reduced by reducing the light transmittance. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention expresses the peelability with low-output laser light, and hence the use of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can reduce damage to the adherend at the time of the peeling to prevent the breakage of the adherend. The transmittance of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention for light having a wavelength of 355 nm is preferably 40% or less, more preferably 30% or less. When the light transmittance falls within such ranges, the above-mentioned effect becomes more significant. The light transmittance of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is a light transmittance in the thickness direction of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, and is a light transmittance to be measured for all the layers for forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet. In the present invention, the transmittance of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for light having a wavelength of 355 nm may be controlled by adjusting the content of the UV absorber to be incorporated into the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.
The visible light transmittance of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention is preferably 50% or more, more preferably 60% or more, still more preferably 70% or more. When the visible light transmittance falls within such ranges, there can be obtained such a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that when an adherend is peeled by laser light irradiation, the adherend serving as a peeling object can be satisfactorily viewed through the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet. Although the visible light transmittance of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is preferably as high as possible, its upper limit is, for example, 95% (preferably 100%).
The haze value of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention is preferably 70% or less, more preferably 65% or less. When the haze value falls within such ranges, there can be obtained such a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that when an adherend is peeled by laser light irradiation, the adherend serving as a peeling object can be satisfactorily viewed through the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet. Although the haze value of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is preferably as low as possible, its lower limit is, for example, 0.1%.
An initial pressure-sensitive adhesive strength at 23° C. when the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention is bonded to a stainless-steel plate is preferably from 0.1 N/20 mm to 15 N/20 mm, more preferably from 0.5 N/20 mm to 10 N/20 mm. When the initial pressure-sensitive adhesive strength falls within such ranges, a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that can satisfactorily hold an adherend can be obtained. The pressure-sensitive adhesive strength is measured in conformity with JIS Z 0237:2000. Specifically, the measurement is performed by: reciprocating a 2-kilogram roller once to bond the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet to the stainless-steel plate (arithmetic average surface roughness Ra: 50±25 nm); leaving the resultant to stand under 23° C. for 30 minutes; and then peeling the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet under the conditions of a peel angle of 180° and a peel rate (tensile rate) of 300 mm/min. Although the pressure-sensitive adhesive strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is changed by active energy ray irradiation and laser light irradiation, the term “initial pressure-sensitive adhesive strength” as used herein means a pressure-sensitive adhesive strength before the active energy ray irradiation and the laser light irradiation.
In one embodiment, a pressure-sensitive adhesive strength at 23° C. after the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has been bonded to a mirror wafer made of silicon, and the resultant has been irradiated with UV light having an integrated light quantity of 460 mJ/cm2 is preferably from 0.01 N/20 mm to 0.3 N/20 mm, more preferably from 0.02 N/20 mm to 0.2 N/20 mm. When the pressure-sensitive adhesive strength falls within such ranges, a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having a reduced amount of an adhesive residue can be obtained. The UV irradiation is performed by, for example, irradiating the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with UV light from a high-pressure mercury lamp (characteristic wavelength: 365 nm, integrated light quantity: 460 mJ/cm2, irradiation energy: 70 W/cm2, irradiation time: 6.6 seconds) through use of a UV irradiation apparatus (manufactured by Nitto Seiki Co., Ltd., product name: “UM-810”).
The thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is preferably from 1 μm to 300 μm, more preferably from 5 μm to 200 μm.
The thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is preferably 20 μm or less. When the thickness falls within such range, there can be obtained a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that can further reduce a laser output at the time of the peeling of an adherend, and hence excellently expresses its peelability. The thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is more preferably 10 μm or less, still more preferably 8 μm or less, still more preferably from 1 μm to 8 μm. When the thickness falls within such ranges, the above-mentioned effect becomes significant.
As described above, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer contains the active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive and the UV absorber.
In one embodiment, an active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive (A1), which contains a base polymer serving as a parent agent and an active energy ray-reactive compound (monomer or oligomer) that can be bonded to the base polymer, is used as the active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive. In another embodiment, an active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive (A2) containing an active energy ray-reactive polymer as the base polymer is used.

An example of the phosphoric acid group-containing monomer is 2-hydroxyethylacryloyl phosphate. An example of the acrylamide is N-acryloylmorpholine. Those monomers may be used alone or in combination thereof. The content of a constituent unit derived from the copolymerizable monomer is preferably 60 parts by weight or less, more preferably 40 parts by weight or less with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base polymer.
The acrylic polymer may contain a constituent unit derived from a polyfunctional monomer for forming a cross-linked structure in a polymer skeleton thereof. Examples of the polyfunctional monomer include hexanediol di(meth)acrylate, (poly)ethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, (poly)propylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, neopentyl glycol di(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol di(meth)acrylate, trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol hexa(meth)acrylate, epoxy (meth)acrylate (that is, polyglycidyl (meth)acrylate), polyester (meth)acrylate, and urethane (meth)acrylate. Those monomers may be used alone or in combination thereof.

The weight-average molecular weight of the acrylic polymer is preferably from 100,000 to 3,000,000, more preferably from 200,000 to 2,000,000. The weight-average molecular weight may be measured by GPC (solvent: THF).
The active energy ray-reactive compound that may be used in the pressure-sensitive adhesive (A1) is, for example, a photoreactive monomer or oligomer having a functional group having a polymerizable carbon-carbon multiple bond, such as an acryloyl group, a methacryloyl group, a vinyl group, an allyl group, or an acetylene group. Specific examples of the photoreactive monomer include esterified products of (meth)acrylic acid and polyhydric alcohols, such as trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, tetramethylolmethane tetra(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol monohydroxypenta(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol hexa(meth)acrylate, 1,4-butanediol di(meth)acrylate, 1,6-hexanediol di(meth)acrylate, and polyethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate; polyfunctional urethane (meth)acrylate; epoxy (meth)acrylate; and oligoester (meth)acrylates. In addition, a monomer, such as methacryloisocyanate, 2-methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate (2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate), or m-isopropenyl-α,α-dimethylbenzyl isocyanate, may be used. Specific examples of the photoreactive oligomer include dimers to pentamers of the above-mentioned monomers. The molecular weight of the photoreactive oligomer is preferably from 100 to 3,000.
In addition, a monomer, such as epoxidized butadiene, glycidyl methacrylate, acrylamide, or vinylsiloxane, or an oligomer formed of the monomer may be used as the active energy ray-reactive compound.
Further, a mixture of an organic salt, such as an onium salt, and a compound having a plurality of heterocycles in a molecule thereof may be used as the active energy ray-reactive compound. When the mixture is irradiated with an active energy ray (e.g., UV light or an electron beam), the organic salt cleaves to produce an ion, and the ion serves as an initiation species to cause the ring-opening reaction of the heterocycles. Thus, a three-dimensional network structure can be formed. Examples of the organic salt include an iodonium salt, a phosphonium salt, an antimonium salt, a sulfonium salt, and a borate salt. Examples of the heterocycles in the compound having the plurality of heterocycles in a molecule thereof include oxirane, oxetane, oxolane, thiirane, and aziridine.
The content of the active energy ray-reactive compound in the pressure-sensitive adhesive (A1) is preferably from 0.1 part by weight to 500 parts by weight, more preferably from 5 parts by weight to 300 parts by weight, still more preferably from 40 parts by weight to 150 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base polymer.
The active energy ray-reactive polymer (base polymer) in the pressure-sensitive adhesive (A2) is, for example, a polymer having a functional group having a carbon-carbon multiple bond, such as an acryloyl group, a methacryloyl group, a vinyl group, an allyl group, or an acetylene group. Specific examples of the active energy ray-reactive polymer include: polymers formed of polyfunctional (meth)acrylates; photocationically polymerizable polymers; cinnamoyl group-containing polymers, such as polyvinyl cinnamate; diazotized amino novolac resins; and polyacrylamide.
In one embodiment, there is used an active energy ray-reactive polymer formed by introducing an active energy ray-polymerizable carbon-carbon multiple bond into a side chain of the above-mentioned acrylic polymer, the main chain thereof, and/or a terminal of the main chain. An approach to introducing a radiation-polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond into the acrylic polymer is, for example, a method including: copolymerizing raw material monomers including a monomer having a predetermined functional group (first functional group) to provide the acrylic polymer; and then subjecting a compound having a predetermined functional group (second functional group) that can react with the first functional group to be bonded thereto and the radiation-polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond to a condensation reaction or an addition reaction with the acrylic polymer while maintaining the radiation polymerizability of the carbon-carbon double bond.
Examples of the combination of the first functional group and the second functional group include: a carboxy group and an epoxy group; an epoxy group and a carboxy group; a carboxy group and an aziridyl group; an aziridyl group and a carboxy group; a hydroxy group and an isocyanate group; and an isocyanate group and a hydroxy group. Of those combinations, the combination of a hydroxy group and an isocyanate group or the combination of an isocyanate group and a hydroxy group is preferred from the viewpoint of the ease with which a reaction between the groups is tracked. In addition, technical difficulty in producing a polymer having an isocyanate group having high reactivity is high, and hence a case in which the first functional group of the acrylic polymer side is a hydroxy group and the second functional group is an isocyanate group is more preferred from the viewpoint of the ease with which the acrylic polymer is produced or obtained. In this case, examples of an isocyanate compound having both of a radiation-polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond and an isocyanate group serving as the second functional group include methacryloyl isocyanate, 2-methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate, and m-isopropenyl-α,α-dimethylbenzyl isocyanate. In addition, a polymer containing a constituent unit derived from the above-mentioned hydroxy group-containing monomer is preferred as the acrylic polymer having the first functional group, and a polymer containing a constituent unit derived from an ether-based compound, such as 2-hydroxyethyl vinyl ether, 4-hydroxybutyl vinyl ether, or diethylene glycol monovinyl ether, is also preferred.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive (A2) may further contain the active energy ray-reactive compound (monomer or oligomer).
The active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive may contain a photopolymerization initiator.
Any appropriate initiator may be used as the photopolymerization initiator. Examples of the photopolymerization initiator include: α-ketol-based compounds, such as 4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl (2-hydroxy-2-propyl)ketone, α-hydroxy-α,α′-dimethylacetophenone, 2-methyl-2-hydroxypropiophenone, and 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone; acetophenone-based compounds, such as methoxyacetophenone, 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone, 2,2-diethoxyacetophenone, and 2-methyl-1-[4-(methylthio)-phenyl]-2-morpholinopropane-1; benzoin ether-based compounds, such as benzoin ethyl ether, benzoin isopropyl ether, and anisoin methyl ether; ketal-based compounds, such as benzyl dimethyl ketal; aromatic sulfonyl chloride-based compounds, such as 2-naphthalenesulfonyl chloride; photoactive oxime-based compounds, such as 1-phenone-1,1-propanedione-2-(o-ethoxycarbonyl)oxime; benzophenone-based compounds, such as benzophenone, benzoylbenzoic acid, and 3,3′-dimethyl-4-methoxybenzophenone; thioxanthone-based compounds, such as thioxanthone, 2-chlorothioxanthone, 2-methylthioxanthone, 2,4-dimethylthioxanthone, isopropylthioxanthone, 2,4-dichlorothioxanthone, 2,4-diethylthioxanthone, and 2,4-diisopropylthioxanthone; camphorquinone; halogenated ketones; acylphosphinoxides; and acylphosphonates. The usage amount of the photopolymerization initiator may be set to any appropriate amount.
In one embodiment, a photopolymerization initiator having a maximum absorption wavelength in the range of 400 nm or less (preferably 380 nm or less, more preferably 340 nm or less) is used. The use of such photopolymerization initiator can provide such a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that when the pressure-sensitive adhesive strength of the entirety of its pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is reduced by applying an active energy ray thereto, the curing reaction of the pressure-sensitive adhesive of the layer preferably occurs, and hence an adhesive residue is particularly reduced.
A commercially available product may be used as the photopolymerization initiator. Examples of the photopolymerization initiator having a maximum absorption wavelength in the range of 400 nm or less include products available under the product names “IRGACURE 127”, “IRGACURE 369”, “IRGACURE 369E”, “IRGACURE 379”, “IRGACURE 379EG”, “IRGACURE 819”, “IRGACURE TOP”, “IRGACURE 784”, and “IRGACURE OXE01” from BASF SE.
In one embodiment, the active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive may contain a photosensitizer.
In one embodiment, the photosensitizer may be used in combination with the photopolymerization initiator. The photosensitizer can generate a radical from the photopolymerization initiator by transferring, to the photopolymerization initiator, energy obtained by the absorption of light by the photosensitizer itself, and hence can advance the polymerization of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with light having a long wavelength at which no absorption peak of the photopolymerization initiator itself is present. Accordingly, the incorporation of the photosensitizer can enlarge a difference between the absorption wavelength of the UV absorber and the wavelength at which the radical can be generated from the photopolymerization initiator. As a result, the photopolymerization of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the peeling thereof by the UV absorber can be performed without affecting each other. In one embodiment, 2,2-dimethoxy-1,2-diphenylethan-1-one (e.g., a product available under the product name “IRGACURE 651” from BASF SE) serving as the photopolymerization initiator and the photosensitizer are used in combination. Examples of such photosensitizer include a product available under the product name “UVS-581” from Kawasaki Kasei Chemicals Ltd. and 9,10-diethoxyanthracene (e.g., a product available under the product name “UVS-1101” from Kawasaki Kasei Chemicals Ltd.).
Other examples of the photosensitizer include 9,10-dibutoxyanthracene (e.g., a product available under the product name “UVS-1331” from Kawasaki Kasei Chemicals Ltd.), 2-isopropylthioxanthone, benzophenone, a thioxanthone derivative, and 4,4′-bis(dimethylamino)benzophenone. Examples of the thioxanthone derivative include ethoxycarbonylthioxanthone and isopropylthioxanthone.
The content of the photosensitizer is preferably from 0.01 part by weight to 2 parts by weight, more preferably from 0.5 part by weight to 2 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base polymer.
The active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive preferably contains a cross-linking agent. Examples of the cross-linking agent include an isocyanate-based cross-linking agent, an epoxy-based cross-linking agent, an oxazoline-based cross-linking agent, an aziridine-based cross-linking agent, a melamine-based cross-linking agent, a peroxide-based cross-linking agent, a urea-based cross-linking agent, a metal alkoxide-based cross-linking agent, a metal chelate-based cross-linking agent, a metal salt-based cross-linking agent, a carbodiimide-based cross-linking agent, and an amine-based cross-linking agent.
When the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is of a single-layer construction, the content of the cross-linking agent is preferably from 0.5 part by weight to 10 parts by weight, more preferably from 1 part by weight to 8 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base polymer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive.
In one embodiment, an isocyanate-based cross-linking agent is preferably used. The isocyanate-based cross-linking agent is preferred because the agent may react with many kinds of functional groups. Specific examples of the isocyanate-based cross-linking agent include: lower aliphatic polyisocyanates, such as butylene diisocyanate and hexamethylene diisocyanate; alicyclic isocyanates, such as cyclopentylene diisocyanate, cyclohexylene diisocyanate, and isophorone diisocyanate; aromatic isocyanates, such as 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate, 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, and xylylene diisocyanate; and isocyanate adducts, such as a trimethylolpropane/tolylene diisocyanate trimer adduct (manufactured by Nippon Polyurethane Industry Co., Ltd., product name: “Coronate L”), a trimethylolpropane/hexamethylene diisocyanate trimer adduct (manufactured by Nippon Polyurethane Industry Co., Ltd., product name: “Coronate HL”), and an isocyanurate form of hexamethylene diisocyanate (manufactured by Nippon Polyurethane Industry Co., Ltd., product name: “Coronate HX”). Of those, a cross-linking agent having 3 or more isocyanate groups is preferably used.
The active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive may further contain any appropriate additive as required. Examples of the additive include an active energy ray polymerization accelerator, a radical scavenger, a tackifier, a plasticizer (e.g., a trimellitate-based plasticizer or a pyromellitate-based plasticizer), a pigment, a dye, a filler, an age resistor, a conductive material, an antistatic agent, a UV absorber, a light stabilizer, a peeling modifier, a softener, a surfactant, a flame retardant, and an antioxidant.
Any appropriate UV absorber may be used as the UV absorber as long as the absorber is a compound that absorbs UV light (having a wavelength of, for example, 355 nm). Examples of the UV absorber include a benzotriazole-based UV absorber, a benzophenone-based UV absorber, a triazine-based UV absorber, a salicylate-based UV absorber, and a cyanoacrylate-based UV absorber. Of those, a triazine-based UV absorber or a benzotriazole-based UV absorber is preferred, and a triazine-based UV absorber is particularly preferred. In particular, when an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is used as the pressure-sensitive adhesive A1, the triazine-based UV absorber may be preferably used because of its high compatibility with the base polymer of the acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive.

Examples of the dye include azo-based, phthalocyanine-based, anthraquinone-based, carbonyl-based, indigo-based, quinone imine-based, methine-based, quinoline-based, and nitro-based dyes.
The molecular weight of the compound for forming the UV absorber is preferably from 100 to 1,500, more preferably from 200 to 1,200, still more preferably from 200 to 1,000. When the molecular weight falls within such ranges, a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that can form a more satisfactory deformed portion through laser light irradiation can be obtained.
The maximum absorption wavelength of the UV absorber is preferably from 300 nm to 450 nm, more preferably from 320 nm to 400 nm, still more preferably from 330 nm to 380 nm. A difference between the maximum absorption wavelength of the UV absorber and the maximum absorption wavelength of the photopolymerization initiator is preferably 10 nm or more, more preferably 25 nm or more.
The 5% weight loss temperature of the UV absorber is preferably 350° C. or less, more preferably 330° C. or less. The lower limit of the 5% weight loss temperature of the UV absorber is, for example, 100° C. When the 5% weight loss temperature falls within such ranges, a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that can form a more satisfactory deformed portion through laser light irradiation can be obtained. The 5% weight loss temperature of the UV absorber means a temperature at the time point when the weight of the UV absorber at the time of an increase in temperature of the UV absorber reduces by 5 wt % as compared to the weight thereof before the temperature increase. The 5% weight loss temperature is measured with a differential thermal analyzer under the following measurement conditions: the measurement is performed under an air atmosphere at a rate of temperature increase of 10° C./min and a flow rate of 25 ml/min.
The content of the UV absorber is preferably from 1 part by weight to 50 parts by weight, more preferably from 5 parts by weight to 20 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base polymer in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. When the content falls within such ranges, there can be obtained such a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that when the pressure-sensitive adhesive strength of the entirety of its pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is satisfactorily reduced by applying an active energy ray thereto, the curing of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer satisfactorily progresses, and satisfactory peelability is exhibited by laser light irradiation.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer may further contain any appropriate additive. In one embodiment, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer further contains particles. The incorporation of the particles can prevent excessive embedding of an adherend (e.g., a chip) in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and as a result, can provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet showing satisfactory peelability. In particular, when the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is thick, such effect becomes significant.
The particles may be inorganic particles or may be organic particles. Examples of the inorganic particles include silica particles, titanium particles, alumina particles, and zirconia particles. Examples of the organic particles include melamine-based resin particles and acrylic resin particles.
The average particle diameter of the particles is preferably from 5 nm to 1 μm, more preferably from 10 nm to 500 nm. When the average particle diameter is excessively small, the effect of the addition of the particles may be small. In addition, when the average particle diameter is excessively large, unevenness may be formed on the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to make it impossible to obtain a sufficient pressure-sensitive adhesive strength. The average particle diameter of the particles is a number-average particle diameter obtained by a laser diffraction method.
The content of the particles is preferably from 0.5 part by weight to 10 parts by weight, more preferably from 1 part by weight to 5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base polymer in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. When the content of the particles is excessively small, the effect of the addition of the particles may be small. In addition, when the content of the particles is excessively large, unevenness may be formed on the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive to make it impossible to obtain a sufficient pressure-sensitive adhesive strength.
The base material may include any appropriate resin. Examples of the resin include a polyolefin-based resin, such as a polyethylene-based resin, a polypropylene-based resin, a polybutene-based resin, or a polymethylpentene-based resin, a polyurethane-based resin, a polyester-based resin, a polyimide-based resin, a polyetherketone-based resin, a polystyrene-based resin, a polyvinyl chloride-based resin, a polyvinylidene chloride-based resin, a fluorine-based resin, a silicon-based resin, a cellulose-based resin, and an ionomer resin. Of those, a polyolefin-based resin is preferred.
The thickness of the base material is preferably from 2 μm to 300 μm, more preferably from 2 μm to 100 μm, still more preferably from 2 μm to 50 μm.
The transmittance of the base material for light having a wavelength of 355 nm is preferably 70% or more, more preferably 80% or more, still more preferably 90% or more, particularly preferably 95% or more. The upper limit of the total light transmittance of the base material is, for example, 98% (preferably 99%).
The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet may be produced by any appropriate method. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet may be obtained by, for example, applying the pressure-sensitive adhesive onto the base material or the release liner. Various methods, such as bar coater coating, air knife coating, gravure coating, gravure reverse coating, reverse roll coating, lip coating, die coating, dip coating, offset printing, flexographic printing, and screen printing, may each be adopted as a method for the application. In addition, for example, a method involving separately forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on a release liner and then bonding the resultant to the base material may be adopted.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention may be used for temporarily fixing any appropriate member to be processed (e.g., an electronic part) at the time of the processing of the member to be processed. A method of using the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention is, for example, a usage method including: (i) bonding and fixing the member to be processed to the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet; (ii) processing the member to be processed; (iii) irradiating the entirety of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet with an active energy ray (e.g., UV light) to reduce the pressure-sensitive adhesive strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet; and (iv) irradiating a site where the expression of peelability is desired with laser light to peel the member to be processed. According to the method, the member to be processed can be peeled by its free fall. In addition, when a plurality of members to be processed are temporarily fixed, only part of the members can be peeled. When the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention is used, the pressure-sensitive adhesive strength can be reduced to such an extent that an adherend freely falls, and hence even extremely small (e.g., 50-micrometer square) members to be processed can be peeled one by one separately.
Now, the present invention is specifically described by way of Examples. However, the present invention is by no means limited to these Examples. Test and evaluation methods in Examples are as described below. In addition, the terms “part(s)” and “%” are by weight unless otherwise stated.

5 Parts by weight of a cross-linking agent (manufactured by Nippon Polyurethane Industry Co., Ltd., product name: “CORONATE L”), 10 parts by weight of a phenol resin (manufactured by Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd., product name: “SUMILITERESIN PR12603”), and 20 parts by weight of a UV absorber (manufactured by BASF Japan Ltd., product name: “Tinuvin 477”) were added to the acrylic polymer solution IV containing 100 parts by weight of the acrylic polymer IV to provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive (4).
The pressure-sensitive adhesive (4) was applied to the silicone-treated surface of a PET separator (thickness: 38 μm), and was then heated at 130° C. for 2 minutes to form a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a thickness of 5 μm.
Another PET separator was bonded onto the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with a hand roller to provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet with separators.
4 Parts by weight of a cross-linking agent (manufactured by Nippon Polyurethane Industry Co., Ltd., product name: “CORONATE HX”) and 20 parts by weight of a UV absorber (manufactured by BASF Japan Ltd., product name: “Tinuvin 477”) were added to the acrylic polymer solution V containing 100 parts by weight of the acrylic polymer V to provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive (5).
The pressure-sensitive adhesive (5) was applied to the silicone-treated surface of a PET separator (thickness: 38 μm), and was then heated at 130° C. for 2 minutes to form a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer having a thickness of 5 μm.
Another PET separator was bonded onto the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer with a hand roller to provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet with separators.
As is apparent from Table 1, when the transmittance of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for light having a wavelength of 355 nm was 50% or less, excellent peelability was expressed by laser light irradiation at a low output (0.2 W or less). In addition, the formation of a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing an active energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive was able to prevent the contamination of the silicon chip. When any one of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets of Examples was used, the washing of the peeled silicon chip was not required. In addition, each of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets of Examples had a high visible light transmittance, and was hence advantageous in that the silicon chip was able to be satisfactorily viewed through the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet at the time of the peeling of the adherend by laser light irradiation.
