The present disclosure relates to a member for forming wiring, a method for forming a wiring layer using the member for forming wiring, and a formed wiring member.
In Patent Literature 1, a method for producing a printed circuit board in which an electronic part such as an IC chip is embedded is disclosed.
In a method for producing a substrate with an embedded part of the related art, as illustrated in (a) and (b) in
Therefore, an adhesive including conductive particles and a metal layer such as a metal foil laminated thereon has been considered as a member for forming wiring. According to such a member for forming wiring, via a step of disposing the member for forming wiring on the surface of a base material on which wiring is formed such that an adhesive layer faces the base material, a step of thermocompressing the member for forming wiring to the base material, and a step of performing a patterning treatment on the metal layer, it can be expected that a wiring layer connected to the wiring is simply formed on the base material on which the wiring is formed.
However, as a result of observing a formed wiring member obtained by the method described above in detail, it has been found that air bubbles or peeling may occur between a cured product of the adhesive and the base material. It is desirable that the member for forming wiring not only is capable of connecting the wirings with sufficient conductivity, but also has formability in which the adhesive is less likely to cause the problem described above.
Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a member for forming wiring, a method for forming a wiring layer using the member for forming wiring described above, and a formed wiring member capable of simplifying a forming process of a wiring layer connecting wirings while sufficiently suppressing the occurrence of air bubbles or peeling when forming the wiring.
As one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a member for forming wiring. Such a member for forming wiring includes a metal layer, and an adhesive layer disposed on the metal layer. In such a member for forming wiring, the adhesive layer contains conductive particles, an epoxy resin, and a phenolic resin.
According to the member for forming wiring described above, by the adhesive layer containing the conductive particles, it is possible to obtain electrical conduction between the metal layer to be a wiring pattern or wiring after processing, and another wiring pattern or wiring that adheres via the adhesive layer, and it is possible to simplify a forming process of a wiring layer connecting the wirings, compared to a process of the related art in which laser processing, a filled plating treatment, and the like are performed. In addition, by the adhesive layer containing the epoxy resin and the phenolic resin, it is possible to sufficiently suppress the occurrence of air bubbles or peeling between a base material for forming the wiring layer and a cured product of the adhesive layer. Note that, the present applicant has considered that such effects are attained by the fact that it is easier to maintain a curing reaction for a long period of time, and it is easier to obtain sufficient embeddability and uniform reactivity, by combining the epoxy resin and the phenolic resin.
In the member for forming wiring described above, the phenolic resin may have a hydroxyl equivalent of 300 g/eq or less.

Note that, the present applicant has considered that such effects are also attained by the fact that it is easier to obtain sufficient embeddability and uniform reactivity by a slow curing reaction.
In one aspect and another aspect described above, in the member for forming wiring, a thickness of the adhesive layer may be 0.8 to 2 times an average particle diameter of the conductive particles.
In one aspect and another aspect described above, the member for forming wiring may further include a release film. In this case, it is easier to handle the member for forming wiring as a member, and it is possible to improve an operation efficiency when forming the wiring layer using the member for forming wiring. Note that, such a release film, as an example, can be used by being disposed on the surface of the adhesive layer on a side opposite to the metal layer.
As still another aspect, the present disclosure relates to a member for forming wiring in which an adhesive layer containing conductive particles and a thermosetting component, and a metal layer are provided separately, and the adhesive layer is adherable to the metal layer at the point of use.

According to the member for forming wiring described above, it is possible to attain the same effects as those of the member for forming wiring according to one aspect described above. Further, since the adhesive layer and the metal layer can be prepared separately (as a set of the member for forming wiring), it is possible to improve the degree of operational freedom when preparing the wiring layer using the member for forming wiring, such as selecting the member for forming wiring with a more optimal material configuration.
In the member for forming wiring described above, the phenolic resin may have a hydroxyl equivalent of 300 g/eq or less.
As another mode in the member for forming wiring of still another aspect, the adhesive layer has a reaction rate of 90% or less when heated at 180° C. for 5 minutes.

As still another aspect, the present disclosure relates to a formed wiring member. Such a formed wiring member includes a base material including wiring, and a cured product of the adhesive layer of any one of the members for forming wiring described above, which is disposed on the base material in order to cover the wiring.

Hereinafter, a member for forming wiring according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, and a method for forming a wiring layer using the member for forming wiring will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same reference numerals will be applied to the same or corresponding parts, and the repeated description will be omitted. In addition, a positional relationship such as the top, bottom, right, and left is based on a positional relationship illustrated in the drawings, unless otherwise specified. Further, a dimensional ratio in the drawings is not limited to that illustrated.
In this specification, a numerical range represented by using “to” includes numerical values described before and after “to” as the minimum value and the maximum value, respectively. In addition, in numerical ranges described in stages in this specification, the upper limit value or the lower limit value described in one numerical range may be replaced with the upper limit value or the lower limit value of a numerical range described in the other stage.

The adhesive layer 10 contains conductive particles 12, and an insulating adhesive component 14 in which the conductive particles 12 are dispersed. The adhesive layer 10, for example, has a thickness of 5 to 50 μm. The adhesive component 14 of the adhesive layer 10 is defined as a solid content other than the conductive particles 12. The adhesive layer 10 may be in a stage B state, that is, a semi-cured state, before a wiring layer is formed by the member 1 for forming wiring.
The conductive particles 12 are approximately spherical particles having conductivity, and are composed of metal particles configured of a metal such as Au, Ag, Ni, Cu, and solder, conductive carbon particles configured of conductive carbon, or the like. The conductive particles 12 may be coated conductive particles including a core containing non-conductive glass, ceramic, plastic (such as polystyrene), or the like, and a coating layer containing the metal described above or conductive carbon and covering the core. Among them, the conductive particles 12 may be metal particles formed of a hot-melt metal, or coated conductive particles including a core containing plastic, and a coating layer containing a metal or conductive carbon and covering the core.
In one embodiment, the conductive particles 12 include a core consisting of polymer particles (plastic particles) such as polystyrene, and a metal layer covering the core. In the polymer particles, substantially the entire surface may be coated with the metal layer, or a part of the surface of the polymer particles may be exposed without being covered with the metal layer within a range where a function as a connecting material is maintained. The polymer particles, for example, may be particles containing a polymer having at least one type of monomer selected from styrene and divinyl benzene as a monomer unit.
The metal layer may be formed of various metals such as Ni, Ni/Au, Ni/Pd, Cu, NiB, Ag, and Ru. The metal layer may be an alloy layer consisting of an alloy of Ni and Au, an alloy of Ni and Pd, or the like. The metal layer may have a multi-layer structure consisting of a plurality of metal layers. For example, the metal layer may consist of a Ni layer and an Au layer. The metal layer may be prepared by plating, vapor deposition, sputtering, solder, or the like. The metal layer may be a thin film (for example, a thin film formed by plating, vapor deposition, sputtering, or the like).
The conductive particles 12 may include an insulating layer. Specifically, for example, in the conductive particles of the embodiment described above, including a core (for example, polymer particles), and a coating layer covering the core, such as a metal layer, the insulating layer further covering the coating layer may be provided outside the coating layer. The insulating layer may be an outermost surface layer positioned on the outermost surface of the conductive particles. The insulating layer may be a layer formed from an insulating material such as silica and an acrylic resin.
An average particle diameter Dp of the conductive particles 12 may be 1 μm or more, may be 2 μm or more, or may be 5 μm or more, from the viewpoint of being excellent in dispersibility and conductivity. The average particle diameter Dp of the conductive particles may be 50 μm or less, may be 30 μm or less, or may be 20 μm or less, from the viewpoint of being excellent in the dispersibility and the conductivity. From the viewpoint described above, the average particle diameter Dp of the conductive particles may be 1 to 50 μm, may be 5 to 30 μm, may be 5 to 20 μm, or may be 2 to 20 μm.
The maximum particle diameter of the conductive particles 12 may be less than the minimum interval between electrodes in a wiring pattern (the shortest distance between the adjacent electrodes). The maximum particle diameter of the conductive particles 12 may be 1 μm or more, may be 2 μm or more, or may be 5 μm or more, from the viewpoint of being excellent in the dispersibility and the conductivity. The maximum particle diameter of the conductive particles may be 50 μm or less, may be 30 μm or less, or may be 20 μm or less, from the viewpoint of being excellent in the dispersibility and the conductivity. From the viewpoint described above, the maximum particle diameter of the conductive particles may be 1 to 50 μm, may be 2 to 30 μm, or may be 5 to 20 μm.
In this specification, for 300 pieces (pcs) of any particles, a particle diameter is measured by observation using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the average value of the particle diameters obtained is set as the average particle diameter Dp, and the largest value obtained is set as the maximum particle diameter of the particles. Note that, in a case where the particles are not in a spherical shape, such as a case where the particles have a protrusion, the particle diameter of the particles is set as the diameter of a circle circumscribed around the particle in the image of SEM.
The content of the conductive particles 12 is determined in accordance with the definition of the electrode to be connected, or the like. For example, the blending amount of the conductive particles 12 is not particularly limited, but may be 0.10% by volume or more, or may be 0.2% by volume or more, on the basis of the total volume of the adhesive component (a component excluding the conductive particles in an adhesive composition). In a case where the blending amount is 0.1% by volume or more, there is a tendency that a decrease in the conductivity is suppressed. The blending amount of the conductive particles 12 may be 30% by volume or less, or may be 10% by volume or less, on the basis of the total volume of the adhesive component (the component excluding the conductive particles 12 in the adhesive composition). In a case where the blending amount is 30% by volume or less, there is a tendency that the short circuit of a circuit is less likely to occur. Note that, “% by volume” is determined on the basis of the volume of each component before curing at 23° C., but the volume of each component can be converted from weight to volume using specific weight. In addition, the component is put in a graduated cylinder or the like in which a suitable solvent (water, alcohol, or the like) for wetting the component without dissolving or swelling the component is put, and the increased volume can also be obtained as the volume of the component.
The adhesive component 14 configuring the adhesive layer 10 contains a thermosetting component. Examples of the thermosetting component include a thermosetting resin, a curing agent, and a curing accelerator.
The adhesive component may contain an epoxy resin and a phenolic resin as the thermosetting component, from the viewpoint of sufficiently suppressing the occurrence of air bubbles or peeling when forming the wiring.
The epoxy resin may be a compound having two or more epoxy groups in the molecules, and examples thereof include a bisphenol A-type epoxy resin, a bisphenol F-type epoxy resin, a bisphenol S-type epoxy resin, a biphenyl-type epoxy resin, a biphenyl novolac-type epoxy resin, a phenol novolac-type epoxy resin, a cresol novolac-type epoxy resin, a bisphenol A novolac-type epoxy resin, a bisphenol F novolac-type epoxy resin, a dicyclopentadiene-type epoxy resin, an alicyclic epoxy resin, an aliphatic chain epoxy resin, a glycidyl ester-type epoxy resin, an isocyanurate-type epoxy resin, a hydantoin-type epoxy resin, a glycidyl ether compound of polyfunctional phenols, a glycidyl ether compound of difunctional alcohols, hydrogen additives thereof, and the like. Among them, the novolac-type epoxy resin such as the biphenyl novolac-type epoxy resin, the phenol novolac-type epoxy resin, the cresol novolac-type epoxy resin, the bisphenol A novolac-type epoxy resin, or the bisphenol F novolac-type epoxy resin may be used from the viewpoint of handleability and availability. Only one type of such epoxy resins may be used alone, or two or more types thereof may be used together.
The adhesive component may contain a compound having three or more epoxy groups in one molecule, as the epoxy resin, from the viewpoint of ensuring an adhesive strength and heat resistance.
In the epoxy resin, an epoxy equivalent may be 100 to 1000 g/eq, may be 125 to 900 g/eq, or may be 150 to 800 g/eq, from the viewpoint of ensuring the adhesive strength and the heat resistance, and excellent reactivity. The epoxy equivalent is obtained by a method standardized in JIS Standard (K7236: 2001).
The content of the epoxy resin in the adhesive component may be 5 to 95% by mass, may be 10 to 90% by mass, or may be 15 to 85% by mass, on the basis of the total amount of the adhesive component (the total amount of the solid content other than the conductive particles 12 in the adhesive layer 10).
The phenolic resin functions as a curing agent of the epoxy resin. Examples of the phenolic resin include a novolac-type phenolic resin such as phenol novolac, cresol novolac, bisphenol A novolac, bisphenol F novolac, and catechol novolac, and a phenolic resin in which an aromatic ring of the above resin is substituted with an alkyl group. Only one type of such phenolic resins may be used alone, or two or more types thereof may be used together.
The adhesive component may contain a compound having three or more phenol groups or cresol groups in one molecule, as the phenolic resin, from the viewpoint of ensuring the adhesive strength and the heat resistance. As such a compound, a phenol novolac-type phenolic resin, a cresol novolac-type phenolic resin, a bisphenol A novolac-type phenolic resin, a bisphenol F novolac-type phenolic resin, or the like may be used from the viewpoint of the handleability and the availability.
The hydroxyl equivalent of the phenolic resin may be 300 g/eq or less, or may be 250 g/eq or less, from the viewpoint of suppressing the occurrence of the air bubbles or the peeling when forming the wiring, and may be 50 g/eq or more, or may be 100 g/eq or more, from the viewpoint of the handleability and excellent reactivity.
Note that, the hydroxyl equivalent of the phenolic resin is obtained by the following measurement method.
1 g of a sample is precisely weighed into a round-bottom flask, and 5 mL of a test solution of an acetic acid anhydride and pyridine is accurately weighed thereto. Next, an air cooler is attached to the flask, and heating is performed at 100° C. for 1 hour. After cooling the flask, 1 mL of water is added, and the flask is heated again at 100° C. for 10 minutes. After cooling again the flask, the air cooler and the neck of the flask are washed with 5 mL of neutralized methanol, and 1 mL of a phenolphthalein reagent is added. For a solution obtained as described above, titration is performed using 0.1 mol/L of a potassium hydroxide/ethanol solution to obtain a hydroxyl value. From the obtained hydroxyl value, a hydroxyl equivalent (g/eq) is calculated in terms of a mass per 1 mol (1 eq) of a hydroxyl group.
The content of the phenolic resin in the adhesive component can be set such that the number of hydroxyl groups of the phenolic resin is 0.5 to 2 per one epoxy group of the epoxy resin.
The adhesive component containing the epoxy resin and the phenolic resin may further contain a thermosetting resin other than the epoxy resin, or may further contain a curing agent other than the phenolic resin. As the thermosetting resin other than the epoxy resin, a triazine resin such as a polyimide resin and a melamine resin, modified products of such resins, and the like can be used. Examples of the curing agent other than the phenolic resin include amines, amides, acid anhydrides, acids, and imidazoles.
Examples of the curing accelerator include an imidazole-based compound, an organic phosphorus-based compound, tertiary amine, and a quaternary ammonium salt. Only one type of such curing accelerators may be used alone, or two or more types thereof may be used together.
The content of the curing accelerator in the adhesive component may be 0.001 to 10% by mass, on the basis of the total amount of the adhesive component.
The adhesive component containing the epoxy resin and the phenolic resin may contain an imidazole-based compound as the curing accelerator, from the viewpoint of being capable of arbitrarily adjusting the temperature and the time at the point of use (for example, a heating temperature and a heating time at the point of thermocompressing).
The adhesive component 14 may contain other components in addition to the thermosetting component described above. As the other components, a filler, a film-forming material, a softener, an anti-aging agent, a colorant, a flame retardant, a thixotropic agent, a coupling agent, and the like may be further contained.
Examples of the filler include an inorganic filler and an organic filler. Examples of the inorganic filler include alumina, silica, titanium oxide, clay, calcium carbonate, aluminum carbonate, magnesium silicate, aluminum silicate, mica, a glass staple fiber, aluminum borate, and silicon carbide. Examples of the organic filler include silicone particles, methacrylate/butadiene/styrene particles, acryl/silicone particles, polyamide particles, and polyimide particles. Only one type of such fillers may be used alone, or two or more types thereof may be used together.
The adhesive component may contain silica particles as the filler, from the viewpoint of improving the heat resistance, improving mechanical properties, and adjusting fluidity at the point of use (for example, at the point of thermocompressing).
The maximum diameter of the filler may be less than the particle diameter of the conductive particles 12, or may be 0.001 to 10 μm.
The content of the filler may be 5 parts by volume to 60 parts by volume with respect to 100 parts by volume of the adhesive component. In a case where the content of the filler is 5 parts by volume to 60 parts by volume, there is a tendency that excellent connection reliability is obtained.
As the film-forming material, a thermoplastic resin is preferably used, and examples thereof include a phenoxy resin, a polyvinyl formal resin, a polystyrene resin, a polyvinyl butyral resin, a polyester resin, a polyamide resin, a xylene resin, a polyurethane resin, a polyacrylic resin, a polyester urethane resin, and the like. Further, in such polymers, a siloxane bond or a fluorine substituent may be contained. Only one type of such resins can be used alone, or two or more types thereof can be used in combination. Among the resins described above, the phenoxy resin may be used from the viewpoint of the adhesive strength, the compatibility, the heat resistance, and a mechanical strength.
As the molecular weight of the thermoplastic resin increases, film-forming properties are more easily obtained, and a melt viscosity affecting the fluidity of the film can be set in a wide range. The molecular weight of the thermoplastic resin may be 5000 to 150000, or may be 10000 to 80000, in terms of the weight average molecular weight. By setting the weight average molecular weight to 5000 or more, excellent film-forming properties are easily obtained, and by setting the weight average molecular weight to 150000 or less, excellent compatibility with other components is easily obtained.
Note that, in the present disclosure, the weight average molecular weight indicates a value measured using a calibration curve of standard polystyrene obtained by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), in accordance with the following condition.
In addition, the content of the film-forming material may be 0.5% by mass or more, may be 1% by mass or more, or may be 5% by mass or more, and may be 50% by mass or less, may be 40% by mass or less, may be 30% by mass or less, or may be 20% by mass or less, on the basis of the total amount of the adhesive component. The content of the film-forming material may be 0.5 to 75% by mass, may be 1 to 50% by mass, may be 5 to 40% by mass, may be 5 to 30% by mass, or may be 5 to 20% by mass, on the basis of the total amount of the adhesive component.
In addition, the content of the film-forming material may be 0.5% by mass or more, may be 1% by mass or more, may be 5% by mass or more, or may be 10% by mass or more, and may be 50% by mass or less, may be 40% by mass or less, may be 30% by mass or less, or may be 20% by mass or more, on the basis of the total amount of the adhesive component excluding the filler. The content of the film-forming material may be 0.5 to 50% by mass, may be 1 to 50% by mass, may be 5 to 40% by mass, may be 5 to 30% by mass, or may be 5 to 20% by mass, on the basis of the total amount of the adhesive component excluding the filler.
The adhesive component 14 may not substantially contain a radical-polymerizable compound with high reactivity, such as an acrylic compound, a methacrylic compound, a styrene compound, and a vinyl compound, from the viewpoint of improving storage stability and improving the connection reliability. Note that, not substantially containing indicates that a content based on the total amount of the adhesive component is 1% by mass or less. The content of the compound described above in the adhesive component may be 0.5% by mass or less, or may be 0% by mass, on the basis of the total amount of the adhesive component.
In the adhesive layer 10 containing the conductive particles 12 and the thermosetting component, a reaction rate when heated at 180° C. for 5 minutes may be 90% or less, may be 85% or less, or may be 80% or less.
The reaction rate described above indicates a value obtained by the following measurement method.
[Measurement of Reaction Rate when Heated at 180° C. for 5 Minutes]
A part of the adhesive layer is scraped off to obtain two 5 mg evaluation samples before heating. Next, one of the evaluation samples before heating is heated at 180° C. for 5 minutes to obtain an evaluation sample after heating. For each of the evaluation sample before heating and the evaluation sample after heating, a DSC calorific value is measured using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) device (product name: DSC7, manufactured by PerkinElmer Inc.) at a measurement temperature range of 30 to 250° C. and a temperature increase rate of 10° C./minute under a nitrogen stream. On the basis of the measured DSC calorific value, the reaction rate when heated at 180° C. for 5 minutes is obtained from the following expression.
Reaction Rate=(Cx−Cy)×100/Cx
[In the expression, Cx indicates the DSC calorific value (J/g) of the evaluation sample before heating, and Cy indicates the DSC calorific value (J/g) of the evaluation sample after heating.]
Examples of the thermosetting component include the thermosetting resin, the curing agent, and the curing accelerator. Examples of the thermosetting resin include an epoxy resin, a polyimide resin, a triazine resin such as a melamine resin, a phenolic resin, and modified products of such resins. In a case where an epoxy resin is used as the thermosetting resin, examples of the curing agent include a polyfunctional phenolic resin such as phenol novolac and cresol novolac.
The adhesive layer 10 having the reaction rate of 90% or less may be configured by containing the conductive particles 12 and the adhesive component 14 described above.
The thickness of the adhesive layer may be 0.1 times or more, may be 0.2 times or more, may be 0.3 times or more, may be 0.5 times or more, may be 0.8 times or more, or may be 1 time or more the average particle diameter Dp of the conductive particles 12. The thickness of the adhesive layer may be 10 times or less, may be 7 times or less, may be 5 times or less, may be 3 times or less, may be 2 times or less, may be 1.8 times or less, may be 1.5 times or less, or may be 1 time or less the average particle diameter Dp of the conductive particles 12.
The member 1 for forming wiring may include only the adhesive layer 10 (a single-layered adhesive layer) as the adhesive layer.
The adhesive layer, for example, can be formed by preparing an application liquid for forming an adhesive layer in which the adhesive component described above, and as necessary, conductive particles are dissolved and dispersed in a solvent, applying the application liquid onto a metal layer described below (for example, a metal foil such as a copper foil), and drying the application liquid. As another method, a film-shaped adhesive may be formed by applying the application liquid for forming an adhesive layer onto a release film and drying the application liquid, and then, the film-shaped adhesive and a metal layer (for example, a metal foil such as a copper foil) may be laminated to form the adhesive layer. As the solvent, for example, methyl ethyl ketone, toluene, ethyl acetate, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, acetone, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and the like can be used.
One surface and the opposite surface of the metal layer 20 may have the same surface roughness Rz, or may have different surface roughness Rz. The metal layer 20, for example, has a thickness of 5 to 200 μm. Here, the thickness of the metal layer is a thickness including the surface roughness Rz. The metal layer 20, for example, is a copper foil, an aluminum foil, a nickel foil, stainless steel, titanium, or platinum.
The adhesive layer 10 is disposed on a first surface 20a of the metal layer 20. The surface roughness Rz of the first surface 20a of the metal layer 20 may be 0.3 μm or more, may be 0.5 μm or more, or may be 1.0 μm or more. In addition, the surface roughness Rz of the first surface 20a of the metal layer 20 may be 50 μm or less, may be 40 μm or less, may be 30 μm or less, may be 20 μm or less, may be less than 20 μm, may be 17 μm or less, may be 10 μm or less, may be 8.0 μm or less, may be 5.0 μm or less, or may be 3.0 μm or less. The surface roughness Rz of the first surface 20a of the metal layer 20, for example, may be 0.3 μm or more and 20 μm or less, or may be 0.3 μm or more and less than 20 μm, and more specifically, may be 0.5 μm or more and 10 μm or less. Note that, the surface roughness Rz of a second surface 20b of the metal layer 20, for example, may be 20 μm or more, may be greater than the surface roughness Rz of the first surface 20a, may be the same surface roughness as that of the first surface 20a, or may be less than the surface roughness Rz of the first surface 20a. Note that, in a case where the surface roughness Rz of the first surface 20a of the metal layer 20 is excessively low (for example, in a case where the surface roughness Rz is 0.2 μm), it is not possible to maintain the adhesiveness between the metal layer 20 and the adhesive layer 10 for a long period of time, which may cause peeling. Therefore, the surface roughness Rz of the first surface 20a of the metal layer 20 may be 0.3 μm or more. Here, by adopting a material or a connection configuration that is capable of ensuring the adhesiveness, the surface roughness Rz of the first surface 20a of the metal layer 20 may be less than 0.3 μm.
The surface roughness Rz indicates ten-point average roughness Rzjis measured on the basis of a method defined in JIS Standard (JIS B 0601-2001), and indicates a value measured using a commercially available surface roughness/contour measuring machine. For example, the surface roughness can be measured using a nano-search microscope (manufactured by SHIMADZU CORPORATION, “SFT-3500”).

Such a formed wiring member 1b includes the base material 30 including the wiring 32, and a cured product of the adhesive component 14 of the member 1 for forming wiring (the adhesive layer of the thermocompressed member for forming wiring) disposed on the base material 30 to cover the wiring 32. In such a formed wiring member 1b, the wiring 32, and the metal layer 20 of the member 1 for forming wiring or the wiring pattern 20c formed (for example, etched) from the metal layer 20 are electrically connected by the conductive particles 12a. Note that, in a case where the treatments of (a) to (d) in
As described above, according to the method for forming a wiring layer using the member 1 for forming wiring according to this embodiment, it is possible to simplify a forming process of the wiring layer connecting the wirings, compared to a process of the related art in which laser processing, a filled plating treatment, and the like are performed. In addition, it is possible to easily make the formed wiring layer thin.
Further, according to the method for forming a wiring layer using the member 1 for forming wiring according to this embodiment, it is possible to sufficiently suppress the occurrence of the air bubbles or the peeling between the base material for forming the wiring layer and the cured product of the adhesive layer by either of the following effects.

In addition, the members 1, 1c, and 1e for forming wiring may further include a release film. The release film may adhere to the surface of the adhesive layers 10, 10c, and 10d on a side opposite to the surface to which the metal layer 20 adheres, may adhere to the surface of the metal layer 20 on a side opposite to the surface to which the adhesive layers 10, 10c, and 10d adhere, or may adhere to both thereof. In addition, the first surface 20a of the metal layer 20 may adhere to the adhesive layers 10, 10c, and 10d.

In addition, in the above description, a case where the member for forming wiring is a member in which the adhesive layer 10 and the metal layer 20 adhere to each other has been described as an example, but the member for forming wiring in this embodiment may be composed of a combined product such that the adhesive layer 10 and the metal layer 20 are provided separately, and the adhesive layer 10 is adherable to the first surface 20a of the metal layer 20 at the point of use. In this case, since the adhesive layer 10 and the metal layer 20 can be prepared separately (as a set of the member for forming wiring), it is possible to improve the degree of operational freedom when preparing the wiring layer using the member for forming wiring, such as selecting the member for forming wiring with a more optimal material configuration.

The insulating adhesive component 17 in the second adhesive layer 16 may be the same as or different from the adhesive component 14. The second adhesive layer 16, for example, may have a thickness of 1 to 50 μm. The adhesive component 17 of the second adhesive layer 16 is defined as a solid content other than the conductive particles. The second adhesive layer 16 may be in a stage B state, that is, a semi-cured state, before the wiring layer is formed by the member 2 for forming wiring.
A thickness d2 of the second adhesive layer 16 may be 0.1 times or more, may be 0.5 times or more, may be 0.8 times or more, or may be 1 time or more the thickness d1 of the first adhesive layer 15.

Next, a method for forming the wiring layer using the member 2 for forming wiring described above will be described with reference to
First, as illustrated in (a) in
Subsequently, as illustrated in (c) in
Subsequently, as illustrated in (d) in
That is, the method for forming a wiring layer using the member for forming wiring includes a step of preparing the member for forming wiring, a step of preparing the base material on which the wiring is formed, a step of disposing the member for forming wiring on the surface of the base material on which the wiring is formed such that the adhesive layer side faces the substrate in order to cover the wiring, a step of thermocompressing the member for forming wiring to the base material, and a step of performing the patterning treatment on the metal layer.
As described above, a formed wiring member 2b is formed. Such a formed wiring member 2b includes the base material 30 including the wiring 32, and a cured product of the first adhesive layer 15 and the second adhesive layer 16 of the member 2 for forming wiring (the adhesive layer of the thermocompressed member for forming wiring) disposed on the base material 30 to cover the wiring 32. In such a formed wiring member 2b, the wiring 32, and the metal layer 20 of the member 2 for forming wiring or the wiring pattern 20c formed (for example, etched) from the metal layer 20 are electrically connected by the conductive particles 12a. Note that, in a case where the treatments of (a) to (d) in
As described above, according to the method for forming a wiring layer using the member 2 for forming wiring according to this embodiment, it is possible to simplify the forming process of the wiring layer connecting the wirings, compared to the process of the related art in which the laser processing, the filled plating treatment, and the like are performed. In addition, it is possible to easily make the formed wiring layer thin. Further, it is possible to sufficiently suppress the occurrence of the air bubbles or the peeling between the base material for forming the wiring layer and the cured product of the adhesive layer.
Further, according to the method for forming a wiring layer using the member 2 for forming wiring according to this embodiment, it is possible to sufficiently ensure the degree of design freedom of the wiring pattern when forming the wiring layer by the effects described below.
The effects described above will be described with reference to the drawings.
Here, by the adhesive layer 10 of the member 2 for forming wiring including the first adhesive layer 15 containing the conductive particles 12 and the adhesive component 14, and the second adhesive layer 16 containing the adhesive component 17 but not the conductive particles, it is possible to provide an adhesive layer 18a with a thickness capable of ensuring a distance in which the conduction by the conductive particles 12 does not occur between the wiring pattern 20e and the wiring pattern 32b that are not desired to be conductively connected while ensuring excellent conduction between the wirings of the wiring pattern 20d and the wiring pattern 32a via the conductive particles 12 when compressed. Accordingly, the wiring pattern 20e and the wiring pattern 32b are not conductively connected, and the insulating reliability in the thickness direction of the adhesive layer can be ensured.
Here, by the adhesive layer 10 of the member 2 for forming wiring including the first adhesive layer 15 containing the conductive particles 12 and the adhesive component 14, and the second adhesive layer 16 containing the adhesive component 17 but not the conductive particles, it is possible to provide the adhesive layer 18a in which the wiring pattern 20f and the conductive particles 12 are not in contact with each other while ensuring excellent conduction between the wirings of the wiring pattern 20d and the wiring pattern 32a via the conductive particles 12 when compressed. Accordingly, in the wiring pattern 20f, the transmission loss of the wiring due to the contact of the conductive particles can be suppressed. In particular, in the member 2 for forming wiring, by laminating the metal layer 20, the second adhesive layer 16, and the first adhesive layer 15 in this order, it is easier to prevent the contact between the wiring pattern 20f and the conductive particles 12.
In the method illustrated in
In the first adhesive layer 15 of the member 2 for forming wiring illustrated in
In addition, in the first adhesive layer 15 of the member 2 for forming wiring, the conductive particles 12 are locally disposed on the second adhesive layer 16 side, but the conductive particles 12 may be locally disposed on a side opposite to the second adhesive layer 16 side (the second surface 10b side of the adhesive layer 10).
In addition, the conductive particles are not contained in the second adhesive layer 16 of the member 2 for forming wiring, but the second adhesive layer 16 may contain a part of the particle bodies of the conductive particles 12 (in other words, may not contain all the particle bodies of the conductive particles 12).
In addition, the adhesive layer 10 of the member 2 for forming wiring may be composed of two layers of the first adhesive layer 15 and the second adhesive layer 16, or may be composed of three or more layers including layers (for example, a third adhesive layer) in addition to the first adhesive layer 15 and the second adhesive layer 16. The third adhesive layer may be a layer having the same composition as the composition described above for the first adhesive layer 15 or the second adhesive layer 16, or may be a layer having the same thickness as the thickness described above for the first adhesive layer 15 or the second adhesive layer 16. For example, the member 2 for forming wiring may be configured by sequentially laminating the metal layer, the third adhesive layer, the second adhesive layer, and the first adhesive layer, or may be configured by sequentially laminating the metal layer, the second adhesive layer, the first adhesive layer, and the third adhesive layer, but is not limited thereto.
In addition, the member 2 for forming wiring may further include a release film. The release film may adhere to the surface of the adhesive layer 10 (the second surface 10b side of the adhesive layer 10) on a side opposite to the surface to which the metal layer 20 adheres, may adhere to the surface of the metal layer 20 (the second surface 20b side of the metal layer 20) on a side opposite to the surface to which the adhesive layer 10 adheres (the first surface 20a of the metal layer), or may adhere to both thereof. In this case, it is easier to handle the member for forming wiring, and it is possible to improve the operation efficiency when forming the wiring layer using the member for forming wiring.
In addition, in the above description, a case where the member for forming wiring is a member in which the adhesive layer 10 and the metal layer 20 adhere to each other has been described as an example, but the member 2 for forming wiring in this embodiment may be composed of a combined product such that the adhesive layer 10 and the metal layer 20 are provided separately, and the adhesive layer 10 is adherable to the first surface 20a of the metal layer 20 at the point of use. In this case, since the adhesive layer 10 and the metal layer 20 can be prepared separately (as a set of the member for forming wiring), it is possible to improve the degree of operational freedom when preparing the wiring layer using the member for forming wiring, such as selecting the member for forming wiring with a more optimal material configuration.
