Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a composition used during production of an electronic device and a method for producing the composition. The present application claims priority to JP 2020-008507 filed in Japan on Jan. 22, 2020, the content of which is incorporated herein.


BACKGROUND ART

Electronic devices produced using a printing method include printed wiring boards, capacitors, inductors, varistors, thermistors, transistors, speakers, actuators, antennas, solid oxide fuel cells, and hybrid integrated circuits (ICs).


For example, a multilayer ceramic capacitor is typically produced through a process as follows:


1. forming a slurry containing a ceramic powder; a binder resin, such as a poly(vinyl acetal) resin; and a solvent, into a sheet form, and producing a green sheet;


2. applying a conductive metal paste containing an electrical property-imparting material (e.g., such as nickel or palladium), a binder resin (e.g., such as ethyl cellulose), and a fluid organic material (e.g., such as terpineol) onto the green sheet by a printing method and forming a wiring or an electrode of a conductive circuit (which may be hereinafter referred to as a “wiring or the like”) (application);


3. drying the applied conductive metal paste (drying);


4. cutting the green sheet on which the wiring or the like is formed to a predetermined size and laminating and crimping a plurality of sheets; and


5. firing the laminate (firing).


The binder resin contained in the conductive metal paste has a function to fix the electrical property-imparting material on the green sheet and a function to impart moderate viscosity to the paste to enable formation of a fine printed pattern. For the binder resin, ethyl cellulose has been mainly used in the related art. However, ethyl cellulose has poor thermal decomposition properties and thus firing needs to be performed at high temperature. Exposure to high temperature for a long time may cause softening or deformation of an object coated with the paste, and cause a carbon component to remain as ash after firing, and this may reduce the conductivity, which have been problems with ethyl cellulose.


To solve the above problems, various improvements in the binder resin have been investigated. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses that use of a poly(vinyl acetal) resin instead of ethyl cellulose can reduce the amount of ash produced. However, the use of a poly(vinyl acetal) resin has not yet achieved a sufficiently satisfactory result for these problems.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Technical Problem

Thus, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a composition for forming a wiring and an electrode of an electronic device by a printing method, the composition having moderate viscosity for coating properties and ejection properties suitable for the printing method, being applicable for firing at low temperatures, and leaving an extremely small amount of ash after firing; and to provide a method for producing the composition.

As a result of diligent research to solve the above problems, the inventor of the present disclosure found that a composition containing a miscible material of a compound (1) represented by Formula (1) below and a compound (A), a specific fluid organic material, represented by Formula (A) below exhibits moderate viscosity and stabilizes (preventing the precipitation, local aggregation, or condensation of the composition, and stably maintaining a uniform state) even when the content of the compound (1) is small; and the composition can be fired at lower temperatures compared to a binder resin, such as ethyl cellulose, and residual amount of ash after firing can be extremely reduced. The invention according to the present disclosure was completed based on these findings.


That is, the present disclosure provides a composition containing a miscible material of:


a compound (1) and a compound (A), the compound (1) being represented by Formula (1) below:

Advantageous Effects of Invention

The composition of the present disclosure contains the miscible material of the specific compound (1) and the compound (A), a specific fluid organic material, and the combination of the compound (1) and the compound (A) exhibits moderate viscosity even when the content of the compound (1) is small. Thus, the composition is less susceptible to dripping and has good coating properties (or ejection properties). In addition, the composition can form a drawing part with a clearly defined edge and thus can improve the printing precision. Furthermore, the composition of the present disclosure can stably maintain the uniformity of the composition. For example, when the composition of the present disclosure contains an electrical property-imparting material, the composition can prevent the precipitation and local aggregation of the electrical property-imparting material and can stably maintain a uniformly and highly dispersed state of the electrical property-imparting material. Moreover, the content of the compound (1) can be reduced, and thus, compared to a composition in the related art obtained by thickening a fluid organic material with ethyl cellulose, the composition of the present disclosure can be fired at a lower temperature. This can prevent an object coated with the composition from softening and deformation due to exposure to high temperature for a long time. Moreover, a residual amount of ash after firing can be significantly reduced, and this can prevent various problems that have been caused by residual ash (e.g., such as reduction in electrical properties).

Method for producing composition

More in detail, the composition can be produced by mixing and warming the total amount of the compound (A) and the compound (1) to form a miscible material, and then cooling. In addition, the composition can also be produced by a method of mixing the compound (1) in a portion of the compound (A), warming the mixture to form a miscible material, then cooling the miscible material, and mixing this in the rest of the compound (A).


The temperature in mixing to form a miscible material is appropriately selected according to the types of compound (1) and compound (A) and is any temperature at which the compound (1) and the compound (A) are mixed to form a miscible material, and is not particularly limited. But the temperature preferably does not exceed 100° C. When the boiling point of the compound (A) is 100° C. or lower, the temperature is preferably at or around the boiling point.


The cooling after mixing to form a miscible material is any measure that can cool the miscible material to room temperature (e.g., 25° C.); the miscible material may be gradually cooled at room temperature or rapidly cooled by ice cooling or the like.


Although the amount of the compound (1) depends on the type of compound (A), the compound (1) is used in an amount, for example, from 0.1 to 50 parts by weight, preferably from 0.5 to 20 parts by weight, particularly preferably from 1 to 10 parts by weight, and most preferably from 1 to 7 parts by weight per 1000 parts by weight of the compound (A). Using the compound (1) in the above range can provides a uniformly stabilized composition having moderate viscosity.


The content of the miscible material (or the total amount of the compound (1) and the compound (A)) in the total amount (100 wt. %) of the composition of the present disclosure is not particularly limited, but in a case where the composition serves as a composition for a conductive metal paste, the content is, for example, approximately from 0.1 to 30 wt. %, preferably from 0.1 to 20 wt. %, more preferably from 0.1 to 10 wt. %, even more preferably from 0.1 to 5 wt. %, and particularly preferably from 0.1 to 3 wt. %, and in a case where the composition serves as a composition other than a composition for a conductive metal paste, the content is, for example, approximately from 30 to 99.9 wt. %, preferably from 50 to 99.9 wt. %, more preferably from 60 to 99.9 wt. %, even more preferably from 70 to 99.9 wt. %, particularly preferably from 90 to 99.9 wt. %, and most preferably from 97 to 99.9 wt. %.


The composition of the present disclosure preferably contains an electrical property-imparting material (e.g., at least one selected from a conductive metal material, a semiconductor material, a magnetic material, a dielectric material, and an insulating material) as an additional component.


For the conductive metal material or the magnetic material, a material known and commonly used can be used, and examples can include gold, silver, copper, nickel, palladium, aluminum, iron, platinum, molybdenum, tungsten, zinc, lead, cobalt, iron oxide-chromium oxide, ferrite, and their alloys. For the semiconductor material, a material known and commonly used can be used, and examples can include pentacene, fullerene derivatives, polythiophene derivatives, metals (copper, indium, gallium, selenium, arsenic, cadmium, tellurium, and their alloys), and silicon fine particles. For the dielectric material or the insulating material, a material known and commonly used can be used, and examples can include cycloolefin polymers, fluorocarbon resins, butyral resins, glass, paper, and Teflons (trade name).


In a case where the composition serves as a composition for a conductive metal paste, the content of the conductive metal material or the magnetic material (the total amount when two or more are contained) is, for example, from 70 to 99.9 wt. %, preferably from 80 to 99.9 wt. %, more preferably from 90 to 99.9 wt. %, even more preferably from 95 to 99.9 wt. %, and particularly preferably from 97 to 99.9 wt. % of the total amount (100 wt. %) of the composition.


In a case where the composition serves as a composition other than a composition for a conductive metal paste, such as, for example, a composition for a conductive ink or a conductive adhesive, the content of the electrical property-imparting material (the total amount when two or more are contained) is, for example, from 0.1 to 30 wt. %, preferably from 0.1 to 20 wt. %, more preferably from 0.1 to 10 wt. %, even more preferably from 0.1 to 5 wt. %, and particularly preferably from 0.1 to 3 wt. % of the total amount (100 wt. %) of the composition.


In addition, viscosity [viscosity (r1) at 25° C. and a shear rate of 0.3 s−1] of the composition of the present disclosure measured with a rheometer is preferably in a range of 10 Pas or higher (e.g., from 10 to 100 Pas) in that this can prevent dripping or flowing of the coating composition and improve the coating precision. Furthermore, the viscosity in the above range is preferred in that this can stably maintain the uniformity of the composition and in that in a case where the composition contains an electrical property-imparting material, the composition can prevent the precipitation and local aggregation of the electrical property-imparting material and can stably maintain a uniformly and highly dispersed state of the electrical property-imparting material.


Moreover, the viscosity [viscosity (r1) at 25° C. and a shear rate of 0.1 5′] of the composition of the present disclosure measured with a rheometer is preferably in a range of 10 Pas or higher (e.g., from 10 to 100 Pas) in that this can prevent dripping or flowing of the coating composition and improve the coating precision. Still more, the viscosity in the above range is preferred in that this can stably maintain the uniformity of the composition and in that in a case where the composition contains an electrical property-imparting material, the composition can prevent the precipitation and local aggregation of the electrical property-imparting material and can stably maintain a uniformly and highly dispersed state of the electrical property-imparting material.


The composition of the present disclosure has shear-thinning properties, and the viscosity ratio [ratio of the viscosity at 25° C. and a shear rate of 1 s−1/the viscosity at 25° C. and a shear rate of 10 s−1] measured with a rheometer is, for example, higher than 1.5, preferably 2 or higher, and particularly preferably 3 or higher. The upper limit is, for example, 10 and preferably 8. Thus, this can reduce the viscosity during coating and, for example, provides excellent ejection properties when the composition is coated using a printing machine or the like. Moreover, this rapidly increases the viscosity after coating and thus can prevent dripping of the coated composition and improve the coating precision.


The composition of the present disclosure has moderate viscosity, and thus this eliminates the need for adding a binder resin (e.g., a macromolecular compound with a molecular weight of 10000 or greater, such as an ethyl cellulose resin, an alkyl cellulose resin, a poly(vinyl acetal) resin, or an acrylic resin). Even in a case where the binder resin is added, the amount of the binder resin can be reduced, for example, to 10 wt. % or lower and preferably to 5 wt. % or lower of the total amount (100 wt. %) of the composition. When the amount of the binder resin added exceeds the above range, ash produced deriving from the binder resin by firing would reduce the electrical properties; thus, this is not preferred.


Furthermore, the miscible material contained in the composition of the present disclosure has excellent thermal decomposition properties and thus is easily decomposed into low molecular weight components. Thus, the composition of the present disclosure can be fired at lower temperatures (e.g., from 100 to 350° C., preferably from 150 to 300° C., and particularly preferably from 150 to 250° C.) compared to a composition having a viscosity imparted by a binder resin, such as ethyl cellulose, and this can prevent the object coated with the composition from softening and deformation during firing.


The composition of the present disclosure combines the above properties and thus can be ejected well to a surface of a substrate (e.g., such as a ceramic substrate or a green sheet), for example, by screen printing, and this further forms a drawing part with a clearly defined edge and improve the printing precision. In addition, in a case where the composition of the present disclosure contains an electrical property-imparting material, the composition prevents the precipitation and local aggregation of the electrical property-imparting material and stably maintains a uniformly and highly dispersed state of the electrical property-imparting material and can be ejected and printed in that state, and drying and firing the ejected composition can form a wiring or the like with excellent electrical properties (e.g., conductivity or insulating properties) with good precision.


Thus, the composition of the present disclosure is particularly useful as a composition for conductive metal pastes and a composition for conductive inks used, for example, in printed wiring boards, such as multilayer printed wiring boards; capacitors, such as multilayer ceramic capacitors; inductors; varistors; thermistors;


transistors; speakers; actuators; antennas; solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs); and hybrid ICs; and particularly in multilayer ceramic capacitors.


In addition, the composition of the present disclosure can be ejected selectively, for example, by screen printing, to a desired position on the surface of the substrate provided with an electrode, a circuit, or the like, then an electronic component or the like can be bonded to the substrate and the composition can be fired, and thus the substrate and the electronic component can be electrically connected. Furthermore, the compound of the present disclosure can be fired at a low temperature, thus component implementation can be performed at a lower temperature than component implementation employing soldering. Thus, the compound of the present disclosure can be used for implementation of an electronic component and the like having poor heat resistance.


Thus, the composition of the present disclosure is particularly useful as a conductive adhesive used in producing, for example, printed wiring boards, such as multilayer printed wiring boards; capacitors, such as multilayer ceramic capacitors; inductors; varistors; thermistors; transistors; speakers; actuators; antennas; solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs); and hybrid ICs; and particularly multilayer ceramic capacitors.


Each of the configurations, their combinations, and the like of the present disclosure above is an example, and an addition, an omission, a substitution, and a change of the configuration can be appropriately made without departing from the gist of the present disclosure. In addition, the present disclosure is not limited by the embodiments and is limited only by the claims.

Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4: Production of Composition

Each of compounds (1-1), and (1-3) to (1-9) obtained in Preparation Examples 1 to 8 above, which were thickening stabilizers, ethyl cellulose (EC), and a fluid organic material (1-methyl-amino-2,3-propanediol (MAPD), 1-amino-2,3-propanediol (1APD), or 1,2-propanediol (PD) were mixed according to the formulations shown in Table 1, dissolved by heating to form a miscible material, then cooled to 25° C., and a composition was obtained.


Combinations of each of compounds (1-1), (1-3) to (1-9) with 1-methyl-amino-2,3-propanediol (MAPD) or 1-amino-2,3-propanediol (1APD) were each stirred with heating at 100° C. for 1 hour and a miscible material was formed.


A combination of ethyl cellulose (EC) with 1,2-propanediol (PD) was stirred with heating at 80° C. for 24 hours and dissolved.


For ethyl cellulose (EC), “ETHOCEL STD 200” available from Nisshin Kasei Co., Ltd. was used.


The viscosity of the resulting composition was measured by changing a shear rate in a log scale from 0.1 to 100 s−1 using a steady flow viscosity measurement mode at 25° C. using a viscosity/viscoelasticity measuring device (rheometer) (trade name “RheoStress 600”, available from HAAKE) equipped with a cone-plate sensor (a cone angle of 1° was used for a diameter of 60 mm, and cone angles of 1°, 2°, and 4° were used for a diameter of 35 mm) and a Peltier temperature controller.


Evaluation of Thickening Properties

The viscosity was evaluated according to the criteria below from the viscosity of the resulting composition at a shear rate of 0.1 s−1. The larger value means higher viscosity and thus indicates that the content of the compound (1) for making the composition moderately viscous can be further reduced.

    • 1: 5 Pas or lower
    • 2: Higher than 5 Pas and 10 Pas or lower
    • 3: Higher than 10 Pas and 50 Pas or lower
    • 4: Higher than 50 Pas


In addition, residual ash contents at 250° C. of the compositions obtained in Examples and Comparative Examples were measured by the following method.


The temperature of 5 mg each of the compositions was increased from 20° C. to 400° C. at 10° C./min using a TG-DTA, and the residual ash amount at 250° C. was measured. The proportion of the residual ash amount relative to the total amount of the composition was calculated as the residual ash content (mass %).


The results are summarized and shown in Table 1 below.


Examples 1 to 8 contained from 0.3 to 0.5 mass % of the thickening stabilizer compound, and thus all had both an excellent viscosity of 3 to 4 and a low residual ash content of 0.2 to 0.4 mass %.


Examples 9 and 10 contained 1 mass % of the thickening stabilizer compound, and thus both Examples had an excellent viscosity of 3 to 4 as well as a low residual ash content of 0.7 to 0.9 mass %.


Comparative Examples 1 and 2 contained 1 mass % of the thickening stabilizer compound but had a poor viscosity of 1 to 2.


Comparative Examples 3 and 4 contained 5 mass % of the thickening stabilizer compound but had a low viscosity of 2 to 3 and a very high residual ash content of 4.9 mass %.
