Description

  The present invention relates to an optical semiconductor device, an optical semiconductor element mounting substrate, and a light reflecting thermosetting resin composition.

  An optical semiconductor device combining an optical semiconductor element such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode) and a phosphor is high in energy efficiency and has a long life. Therefore, it has various uses such as an outdoor display, a portable liquid crystal backlight, and an in-vehicle application. Used for various purposes, and the demand is growing.

  However, in an optical semiconductor device, when a reflector is formed using a thermosetting resin composition containing semiconductor particles such as titanium oxide, there is a problem that the reflector is photodegraded. It is known that there are two main causes of this photodegradation: photooxidative degradation caused by the influence of light and oxygen, and photocatalytic degradation based on the photocatalytic action of titanium oxide.

  Among these, photooxidative degradation is caused by a chain reaction in a polymer containing a carbon-carbon bond that absorbs light and enters an excited state, and is attacked by oxygen to generate an active radical such as hydroperoxide. It is known to be caused by polymer degradation.

On the other hand, photocatalytic degradation is caused by the fact that titanium oxide absorbs short-wavelength light to generate electron-hole pairs, and water and oxygen act simultaneously, generating OH radicals and O ₂ H radicals to decompose the polymer. It is known to occur by doing.

  On the other hand, crystalline titanium oxide is a white compound in which a crystal lattice is formed at a ratio of titanium atoms to oxygen atoms of 1: 2. When titanium oxide receives high energy (heat, ultraviolet light, etc.), oxygen atoms jump out of the crystal lattice, defects occur in the crystal lattice, the titanium atoms are reduced, and the titanium atoms and oxygen atoms are locally 1: 1. It is known to produce titanium oxide (titanium black) having a ratio of It is known that titanium oxide (titanium black) in which oxygen defects are generated changes from blue to black. In addition, in titanium oxide doped with a metal, a photochromic effect may be observed in which electrons move to the doped metal, the band gap moves to the low energy side, and the above phenomenon occurs when receiving visible light. In general, titanium oxide is often manufactured by processing raw materials collected from natural minerals, and may contain metals that cannot be removed, so it is not rare to receive photochromic effects when receiving visible light. .

  Therefore, the conventional substrate for mounting an optical semiconductor element using the thermosetting resin composition for reflecting light is made of a cured product of the thermosetting resin composition for reflecting light provided so as to surround the outer periphery of the optical semiconductor element. Light emission from the optical semiconductor element is partially incident on the wall or the bottom of the substrate filled with a cured product of the same resin composition, and the cured product absorbs visible light and becomes blue due to photocatalytic action and photochromic effect. Problems with discoloration may occur.

  As a result, yellow to red light components among the light emitting components from the optical semiconductor element and the phosphor are absorbed by the wall surface and the bottom of the substrate, and the light to be emitted to the upper surface of the optical semiconductor device is lost. There is a problem that the light extraction efficiency of the apparatus is lowered.

  Further, in the molding resin composition described in Patent Document 2 containing titanium oxide and capable of maintaining high whiteness for a long time, titanium oxide whose surface is treated with an inorganic substance or an organic substance is used. However, even with such titanium oxide, the photocatalytic action and the photochromic effect are not sufficiently suppressed, and it is difficult to sufficiently suppress the decrease in the light output of the optical semiconductor device.

<Method for measuring element abundance ratio by XPS>
Measurement of constituent elements on the surface of titanium oxide by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) can be performed by the following method. First, a powder sample of titanium oxide is molded with a tablet molding machine, and the molded product is broken, and a part thereof is affixed to a carbon tape and fixed to a sample stage for XPS. The XPS measurement is performed with Shimadzu / Kratos AXIS-165. Irradiation X-rays are Al-Kα rays (1.4866 keV) and are monochromatic using the (100) plane of quartz (α structure). The cathode voltage value is 15 kV, and the current value varies depending on the type of measurement, and is 3 mA for wide scan and 10 mA for narrow scan. Photoelectrons from the surface obtained as a result of irradiating the sample with X-rays are taken out at a detection angle of 90 °, and the spectrum is measured. The measurement range is φ120 μm and the range from the sample surface to a depth of 10 nm. The value of the pass energy corresponding to the resolution (the smaller the resolution is, the higher the resolution) is 160 eV during the wide scan and 20 eV during the narrow scan. First, after performing a wide scan and confirming what elements are seen, narrow scans of O 1s, Ti 2p, C 1s, Si 2p, and Al 2p are performed. The number of integrations of each narrow scan of O 1s, Ti 2p, C 1s, Si 2p, and Al 2p is 3, 5, 10, 10, and 10, respectively. In the narrow scan spectrum obtained by the above method, the relative intensity ratio of the peak derived from each element is multiplied by the photoemission efficiency factor specific to each element and the sensitivity coefficient specific to the XPS apparatus used for the measurement. To calculate the abundance ratio (number of atoms) of each element.

<White pigment>
The white pigment has an element abundance ratio (Si / Ti) between silicon and titanium of 1 to 14 when the constituent elements on the surface are measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the element abundance ratio between silicon and aluminum (Si / Al) is 1.3 or more, and at least the titanium oxide whose element abundance ratio (Si / C) of silicon and carbon is 0.3 or more is included.

  In the titanium oxide, the element abundance ratio (Si / Ti) of silicon and titanium measured by XPS is 1-14. When the value of Si / Ti is less than 1, the titanium oxide contained in the thermosetting resin composition is discolored by receiving heat or light, and absorbs light from the optical semiconductor to reduce the output of the optical semiconductor device. To do. On the other hand, when the value of Si / Ti exceeds 14, the dispersibility of titanium oxide in the thermosetting resin component decreases, the melt viscosity of the thermosetting resin composition increases, and the moldability decreases. As a result, the degree of freedom in designing the optical semiconductor device tends to decrease.

  In the titanium oxide, the element abundance ratio (Si / Al) of silicon and aluminum measured by XPS is 1.3 or more, preferably 1.3 to 3, preferably 1.8 to 3. More preferably. When this Si / Al value is less than 1.3, the titanium oxide contained in the thermosetting resin composition is discolored by receiving heat or light, and absorbs light from the optical semiconductor to output the optical semiconductor device. Decreases. On the other hand, when the value of Si / Al exceeds 3, the dispersibility of titanium oxide in the thermosetting resin component decreases, the melt viscosity of the thermosetting resin composition increases, and the molding processability decreases. As a result, the degree of freedom in designing the optical semiconductor device tends to decrease.

  Further, in the titanium oxide, the element abundance ratio (Si / C) of silicon and carbon measured by XPS is 0.3 or more, and preferably 0.3 to 0.8. When this Si / C value is less than 0.3, the titanium oxide contained in the thermosetting resin composition is discolored by receiving heat or light, and absorbs light from the optical semiconductor to output the optical semiconductor device. Decreases. On the other hand, when it exceeds 0.8, the dispersibility of titanium oxide in the thermosetting resin component decreases, the melt viscosity of the thermosetting resin composition increases, and the molding processability decreases. As a result, the degree of freedom in designing the optical semiconductor device tends to decrease.

Titanium oxide whose element abundance ratio measured by XPS satisfies the above-mentioned condition has silicon, aluminum, and carbon on its surface. In order for these elements to be present on the surface, the titanium oxide is preferably titanium oxide whose surface is coated with a coating layer containing the above elements. For example, the titanium oxide is based on a fine particle titanium oxide whose content as titanium oxide (TiO ₂ ) is adjusted to 80 to 97% by mass, an inorganic substance such as a metal oxide, a silane coupling agent, Titanium oxide surface-treated with an organic substance such as a titanium coupling agent, organic acid, polyol and silicone is preferred. The crystal form of titanium oxide includes three crystal forms: a rutile form having a refractive index of 2.7, an anatase form having a refractive index of 2.5, and a brookite form having a refractive index of 2.6. From the viewpoint of light absorption characteristics, the rutile type is preferable. Examples of the surface treatment agent include metal oxides such as silica, alumina, and zirconia; organic substances such as silane coupling agents, titanium coupling agents, alkanolamines, polyols, silicone oils, and organic acids.

  The titanium oxide used in the present embodiment is an aluminum-containing compound such as alumina, a silicon-containing compound such as silica, a titanium-containing compound, a zirconium-containing compound such as zirconia, a zinc-containing compound, a tin-containing compound, a magnesium-containing compound, or a calcium-containing compound. And titanium oxide surface-treated with at least one inorganic substance selected from phosphorus-containing compounds such as aluminum phosphate and hydrates thereof. Among these, the titanium oxide used in the present embodiment is more preferably titanium oxide coated with a silicon-containing compound such as silica and further coated with an aluminum-containing compound such as alumina. Here, the order of coating of the silicon-containing compound and the aluminum-containing compound is not particularly limited, and the titanium oxide may be titanium oxide that is further coated with the silicon-containing compound after being coated with the aluminum-containing compound. By using such a titanium oxide, the titanium oxide contained in the thermosetting resin composition receives light and becomes a photocatalyst, deteriorates the thermosetting resin contained therein, absorbs light from the optical semiconductor, and forms an optical semiconductor device. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the output.

  In addition, the titanium oxide used in the present embodiment is water-containing, such as methyl hydrogen polysiloxane, polydimethylsiloxane, cyclic silicone, higher fatty acid, higher fatty acid amide, polyhydric alcohol, hexamethyldisilazane, aminosilane, and silazanes. It is also preferred to be a titanium oxide surface-treated with an oxide and a compound capable of dehydration condensation and at least one organic substance selected from these solutions. By using such a titanium oxide, the titanium oxide contained in the thermosetting resin composition receives light and becomes a photocatalyst, deteriorates the thermosetting resin contained therein, absorbs light from the optical semiconductor, and forms an optical semiconductor device. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the output.

  In particular, the titanium oxide used in the present embodiment is preferably titanium oxide that has been surface-treated with the above-described inorganic material and then surface-treated with the above-mentioned organic material, and is coated with an aluminum-containing compound, and then a silicon-containing compound. It is more preferable that the titanium oxide is coated with the above-mentioned organic substance after being coated with. By using such a titanium oxide, the titanium oxide contained in the thermosetting resin composition receives light and becomes a photocatalyst, deteriorates the thermosetting resin contained therein, absorbs light from the optical semiconductor, and forms an optical semiconductor device. It is possible to more sufficiently suppress the decrease in output.

  Further, the titanium oxide used in the present embodiment may be obtained by further organically treating the surface with a silane coupling agent such as epoxy silane from the viewpoint of improving the adhesion with the thermosetting resin component. .

  The production method of titanium oxide (hereinafter referred to as “surface-coated titanium oxide”) having a coating layer formed by the surface treatment described above is not particularly limited, and can be produced by a known method. As the titanium oxide used as the base for producing the surface-coated titanium oxide, titanium oxide produced by the known chlorine method and titanium oxide produced by the sulfuric acid method can be used without particular limitation. From the viewpoint of obtaining a high optical reflectance in the visible light region of the thermosetting resin composition, it is preferable to use titanium oxide obtained by a chlorine method capable of reducing the colorable metal derived from the production method. Here, titanium oxide can be produced from a natural product as a raw material using a known sulfuric acid method or hydrochloric acid method, but titanium oxide obtained from each of the sulfuric acid method and hydrochloric acid method has the same refractive index. In spite of the fact, the color of titanium oxide, that is, the reflection spectrum characteristic is different due to the difference in the elements mixed from the treatment liquid during the production. Usually, titanium oxide obtained from the hydrochloric acid method has a high light reflectance at a wavelength of 460 to 800 nm, and titanium oxide obtained from a sulfuric acid method has a light reflectance at a wavelength of 460 to 800 nm inferior to the former.

  Moreover, you may use a commercially available titanium oxide as a titanium oxide used as the base at the time of manufacturing surface coating titanium oxide. Although it does not specifically limit as a commercially available titanium oxide, For example, D-918, FTR-700 (all are brand names) by Sakai Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. which is a rutile type titanium oxide, and Taipei CR by Ishihara Sangyo Co., Ltd. -50, CR-50-2, CR-60, CR-60-2, CR-63, CR-80, CR-90, CR-90-2, CR-93, CR-95, CR-97 (any (Trade name), JR-403, JR-805, JR-806, JR-701, JR-800, etc. (all trade names) manufactured by Teika Co., Ltd., TR-600 manufactured by Fuji Titanium Industry Co., Ltd., TR-700, TR-750, TR-840, TR-900 (all are trade names) and the like.

  As surface treatment of titanium oxide, generally, inorganic treatment is first performed, and then organic treatment is performed. In addition, it is preferable that the titanium oxide used in this embodiment has been subjected to at least an inorganic treatment, and more preferably an organic treatment in addition to the inorganic treatment.

  The surface treatment of titanium oxide with an inorganic surface treatment agent can be performed by a conventionally known method. For example, a method of coating the surface of titanium oxide with a hardly soluble oxide hydrate by adding an inorganic surface treatment agent to the suspension of titanium oxide and subsequently adjusting the pH of the suspension.

  According to this embodiment, when applying surface coating to titanium oxide so that the surface-coated titanium oxide obtained is excellent in wettability and dispersibility with respect to the resin, first, an amorphous titanium oxide coating is formed, Further, a coating layer containing silica or alumina may be formed.

When a coating layer containing alumina is provided on the surface of titanium oxide, the coating layer can be formed using a water-soluble aluminum salt as an inorganic surface treatment agent. Specific examples of the water-soluble aluminum salt include sodium aluminate. For example, the surface of titanium oxide can be coated with alumina (Al ₂ O ₃ ) by dispersing titanium oxide in water, adding a water-soluble aluminum salt thereto, and further adding sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid.

Moreover, when providing the coating layer containing a silica on the surface of a titanium oxide, this coating layer can be formed, for example using sodium silicate as an inorganic surface treating agent. For example, the surface of the titanium oxide can be coated with silica (SiO ₂ ) by dispersing titanium oxide in water, adding sodium silicate thereto, and further adding sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid.

The titanium oxide used in the present embodiment preferably has a coating layer containing an aluminum phosphate compound from the viewpoint of obtaining excellent light resistance. The aluminum phosphate compound may be either aluminum orthophosphate or aluminum metaphosphate. The coating amount of the aluminum phosphate compound is preferably 0.1 to 2.0 parts by mass as AlPO _{4 with} respect to 100 parts by mass of titanium oxide as a base. If the coating amount is less than 0.1 parts by mass, the effect of improving light resistance tends to be insufficient, and if it exceeds 2.0 parts by mass, it is due to the influence of bound water contained in the aluminum phosphate compound. Since foaming is likely to occur when dispersed and molded in a thermosetting resin, there is a tendency that a molded article having a good appearance cannot be obtained.

When a coating layer containing an aluminum phosphate compound is provided on the surface of titanium oxide, the coating layer can be formed using a phosphate compound and an aluminum compound as an inorganic surface treatment agent. The phosphoric acid compound and the aluminum compound are not particularly limited as long as they are water-soluble. Examples of the phosphoric acid compound include orthophosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, pyrophosphoric acid and salts thereof, and the aluminum compound includes sodium aluminate and aluminum sulfate. And aluminum nitrate. For adjusting the pH, an inorganic compound such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid or an acidic compound such as organic acid such as acetic acid or formic acid, or an inorganic basic compound such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or ammonia can be used. A preferable amount of the phosphoric acid compound and the aluminum compound is suitably used so that 0.1 to 2.0 parts by mass of an aluminum phosphate compound can be formed as AlPO _{4 with} respect to 100 parts by mass of titanium oxide as a base. Is set.

  In the present embodiment, the surface-coated titanium oxide can be obtained, for example, as follows. First, titanium oxide as a raw material is dispersed in water to form a suspension, an inorganic surface treatment agent is added to the suspension, and then the pH is adjusted to about 6 to 7 with an acid or alkali. A coating layer is formed on the surface. Next, the suspension is filtered with a filter press, a drum filter or the like, the solid content is washed away to remove remaining salts, and then dried with a band dryer, a spray dryer or the like to obtain a dried product.

  Thereafter, the dried product is fired at a temperature in the range of 300 to 1000 ° C., preferably in the range of 500 to 900 ° C., using an appropriate means such as an electric furnace or a rotary kiln. When this calcination temperature is lower than 300 ° C., dehydration from the used surface treatment agent is insufficient, so that the resulting surface-coated titanium oxide still tends to have a large amount of volatile components at a high temperature. However, when the firing temperature is higher than 1000 ° C., the titanium oxide particles sinter to each other, so that there is a tendency that surface-coated titanium oxide having good dispersibility cannot be obtained.

  The fired product thus obtained may be pulverized as it is using a known mill, or pulverized as a suspension with a bead mill, filtered, washed with water, dried, and then subjected to a known mill. You may grind with. When pulverizing by the latter method, using a rotary jet mill, methyl hydrogen polysiloxane, polydimethylsiloxane, cyclic silicone, higher fatty acid, higher fatty acid amide, polyhydric alcohol, hexamethyldiethyl diamine as an organic surface treatment agent. You may grind | pulverize, adding the compound which can carry out a dehydration condensation with hydrous oxides, such as silazane, aminosilane, and silazanes. In addition, when water is generated by a chemical bond between the base titanium oxide or surface-coated titanium oxide and the organic surface treatment agent, it is preferable to perform pulverization while heating. Surface-coated titanium oxide can be obtained by the above method.

  As the inorganic surface treatment agent, sodium silicate, silicon tetrachloride or the like is used as a silica source, and sodium aluminate, aluminum sulfate, aluminum nitrate, aluminum chloride or the like is used as an alumina source.

  When a coating layer containing silica and a coating layer containing alumina are formed on the surface of titanium oxide, the amount of the inorganic surface treatment agent added is equivalent to silica and alumina, respectively, with respect to 100 parts by mass of titanium oxide to be surface-coated. The total amount is preferably 2 parts by mass or more, and more preferably 2 to 15 parts by mass. When this addition amount is less than 2 parts by mass, the surface coating of titanium oxide becomes insufficient, the effect of suppressing the surface activity is lowered, and there is a tendency that a sufficient light resistance improvement effect cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when the added amount is more than 15 parts by mass, the dispersibility of the obtained surface-coated titanium oxide in the resin tends to be lowered.

  As a surface treatment method using an organic surface treatment agent, for example, a method of adding the organic surface treatment agent to an aqueous slurry of titanium oxide whose pH is adjusted to 0.5 to 6, preferably 2 to 4, prepared in advance. For example, a method of adding titanium oxide to the aqueous dispersion after adjusting the pH of the aqueous dispersion of the organic silane compound to 0.5 to 6, preferably 2 to 4, can be used. If the pH is in the above range, the hydrolysis reaction of the organosilane compound proceeds, and it tends to be easy to produce hydrophilic silanol, and it is difficult to produce a polycondensate of hydrophobic silanol. It is preferable because it tends to be easily handled in the inside. Alternatively, silanol monomers can be generated and coated with titanium oxide particles, and then the slurry can be made to have a neutral pH or higher and polycondensed to generate oligomers or polymers on the surface of the titanium oxide particles.

  In addition to the above-mentioned compounds that can be dehydrated and condensed with the hydrous oxide, organic surface treatment agents include polyols, alkanolamines such as triethanolamine organic acid salts, and silicones such as alkylchlorosilanes. Organic surface treating agents are also included.

  The polyol-based organic surface treating agent is preferably a hydrocarbon compound having 10 to 10 carbon atoms and having 2 to 4 hydroxyl groups in the molecule. Specific examples of the polyol-based organic surface treatment agent include trimethylolethane, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, and the like. These can be used individually by 1 type or in combination of 2 or more types.

  Examples of the alkanolamine-based organic surface treatment agent include organic acid salts of triethanolamine, organic acid salts of trimethylolamine, and organic acid salts of tripropanolamine. These can be used individually by 1 type or in combination of 2 or more types.

  As the silicone-based organic surface treatment agent, a compound that generates silicone after the reaction may be used. Examples of the silicone-based organic surface treatment agent include dimethylpolysiloxane, methylhydrogenpolysiloxane, alkoxysilanes, and alkylchlorosilanes. These can be used individually by 1 type or in combination of 2 or more types.

  The surface treatment of titanium oxide with an organic surface treatment agent can be performed using a conventionally known method. For example, when pulverizing titanium oxide with a pulverizer, an alcohol solution of an organic surface treatment agent is added, and the surface is treated by evaporating the alcohol while heating. As a simple method, there is a method in which an alcohol solution of an organic surface treatment agent is dropped and mixed while stirring and mixing titanium oxide powder with a Henschel mixer or the like, and the alcohol is evaporated while heating to perform surface treatment.

  The surface-coated titanium oxide in the present embodiment may be surface-coated with an organosilicon compound (silicone resin) on the surface-coated titanium oxide and / or inorganic silica. The material used for the surface coating can be appropriately adjusted according to the ease of dispersion in the thermosetting resin as the base resin. From the viewpoint of suppressing defects such as bubble generation in the resin molded product, it is preferable that the surface-coated titanium oxide has a small volatile content when it is kneaded into the resin at a high temperature or heated during the resin molding process. More specifically, the surface-coated titanium oxide preferably has a low volatile content when heated from 105 ° C. to 220 ° C., and the volatile content at this time is preferably 0.80% by mass or less.

<Measurement of element abundance ratio by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)>
The elements contained on the surface of each titanium oxide were quantitatively analyzed with a calibration curve using the fluorescent X-ray analyzer system 3270 manufactured by Rigaku Co., Ltd. by the following method. First, a powder sample of titanium oxide was molded with a tablet molding machine, and the molded product was broken and a part thereof was attached to a carbon tape and fixed to a sample table for XPS. The XPS measurement was performed with AXIS-165 manufactured by Shimadzu / Kratos. Irradiated X-rays were Al—Kα rays (1.4866 keV) and were monochromatized using the (100) plane of quartz (α structure). The voltage value of the cathode was 15 kV, and the current value was changed depending on the type of measurement. The current value was 3 mA for wide scan and 10 mA for narrow scan. Photoelectrons from the surface obtained as a result of irradiating the sample with X-rays were taken out at a detection angle of 90 °, and the spectrum was measured. The measurement range is φ120 μm and the range from the sample surface to a depth of 10 nm. The value of the pass energy corresponding to the resolution (the smaller the resolution is, the higher the resolution) is 160 eV during the wide scan and 20 eV during the narrow scan. First, a wide scan was performed to confirm what elements were observed, and then narrow scans of O 1s, Ti 2p, C 1s, Si 2p, and Al 2p were performed. The number of integrations of each narrow scan of O 1s, Ti 2p, C 1s, Si 2p, and Al 2p is 3, 5, 10, 10, and 10, respectively. The results of measuring the constituent elements on the titanium oxide surface by the XPS are shown in Table 1 below.

<Evaluation of optical semiconductor device>
(Production of optical semiconductor device using thermosetting resin composition for light reflection)
The optical semiconductor element mounting substrate shown in FIG. 1 was prepared by transfer molding using the thermosetting resin composition for light reflection obtained in Example 1 and Comparative Example 2. As the lead frame, a test lead frame that can form 360 (15 rows × 24 columns) optical semiconductor device mounting substrates having an outer periphery of 3.0 × 1.4 mm per lead frame was used. The metal wiring used as the optical semiconductor element mounting region on the lead frame is a 0.2 μm thick copper lead frame whose surface is Ag-plated, and the cathode and anode of one optical semiconductor element mounting region are designed as a pair of patterns. . A CDIM (trade name) manufactured by Apic Yamada Co., Ltd. was used as a transfer molding machine, and a cured product (reflector) of a thermosetting resin composition for light reflection was collectively formed on a lead frame substrate. The molding conditions were a mold temperature of 180 ° C., a clamp pressure of 20 t, an injection pressure of 7 MPa, and a molding time of 90 seconds.

It was confirmed that there was little discoloration. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the light-reflective thermosetting resin compositions obtained in Comparative Examples 1 to 7 had a decrease in light reflectance at a wavelength of 700 nm. In addition, when LED packages were prepared using the thermoreflective resin compositions for light reflection of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 and compared, it can be seen that Example 1 is operating stably without any decrease in luminous flux. . As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a thermosetting resin composition for light reflection that can sufficiently suppress a decrease in light output, and by using the thermosetting resin composition for light reflection.
