Abstract
Description
本発明は、導電パターン形成方法及び光照射またはマイクロ波加熱による導電パターン形成用組成物の改良に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for forming a conductive pattern and improvement of a composition for forming a conductive pattern by light irradiation or microwave heating.
微細な配線パターンを作製する技術として、従来銅箔とフォトレジストを組み合わせてリソグラフィー法で配線パターンを形成する方法が一般的に用いられているが、この方法は工程数も長い上に、排水、廃液処理の負担が大きく、環境的に改善が望まれている。また、加熱蒸着法やスパッタリング法で作製した金属薄膜をフォトリソグラフィー法によりパターニングする手法も知られている。しかし、加熱蒸着法やスパッタリング法は真空環境が不可欠である上に、価格も非常に高価になり、配線パターンへ適用した場合には製造コストを低減させることが困難であった。 As a technique for producing a fine wiring pattern, a method of forming a wiring pattern by a lithography method using a combination of a copper foil and a photoresist is generally used, but this method has a long process number, drainage, The burden of waste liquid treatment is large, and environmental improvement is desired. Also known is a method of patterning a metal thin film produced by a heat deposition method or a sputtering method by a photolithography method. However, the heating vapor deposition method and the sputtering method are indispensable for a vacuum environment, and the price is very expensive. When applied to a wiring pattern, it is difficult to reduce the manufacturing cost.
そこで、金属インキ(酸化物を還元剤により還元して金属化するものも含む)を用いて印刷により配線を作製する技術が提案されている。印刷による配線技術は、低コストで多量の製品を高速に作製することが可能であるため、既に一部で実用的な電子デバイスの作製が検討されている。 In view of this, there has been proposed a technique for producing a wiring by printing using a metal ink (including a metal oxide obtained by reducing an oxide with a reducing agent). Since the wiring technology by printing is capable of producing a large quantity of products at low cost and at high speed, the production of practical electronic devices has already been studied in part.
しかし、加熱炉を用いて金属インキを加熱焼成する方法では、加熱工程で時間がかかる上に、金属インキの焼成に必要な加熱温度にプラスチック基材が耐えることが出来ない場合には、プラスチック基材の耐える温度で焼成せざるを得ず、満足な導電率に到達しないと言う問題があった。 However, in the method of heating and baking metal ink using a heating furnace, the heating process takes time, and if the plastic substrate cannot withstand the heating temperature required for baking the metal ink, the plastic substrate is used. There was a problem that the material had to be fired at a temperature that the material could withstand, and that it did not reach a satisfactory electrical conductivity.
そこで、特許文献1〜3に記載のように、ナノ粒子を含む組成物(インキ)を用いて、光照射により金属配線に転化させようとの試みがあった。
Therefore, as described in
光エネルギーやマイクロ波を加熱に用いる方法は、インキ部分のみを加熱出来る可能性があり、非常に良い方法ではあるが、金属粒子そのものを用いた場合には、得られる導電膜の導電率が満足に向上しないという問題や、酸化銅を用いた場合には、得られる導電膜の空隙率が大きかったり、一部還元されないまま、酸化銅粒子が残るという問題があった。 The method using light energy or microwave for heating may be able to heat only the ink part and is a very good method. However, when metal particles themselves are used, the conductivity of the resulting conductive film is satisfactory. When copper oxide is used, there is a problem that the porosity of the obtained conductive film is large, or copper oxide particles remain without being partially reduced.
また、これらの焼結には少なくとも直径が1μm以下の金属または金属酸化物粒子を用いる必要があり、これらのナノ粒子の調製には非常にコストがかかるという問題がある上に、照射時のエネルギーを強くすると、微粒子なので、焼結する前に飛散しやすいという欠点があった。 In addition, it is necessary to use metal or metal oxide particles having a diameter of 1 μm or less for the sintering, and there is a problem that the preparation of these nanoparticles is very expensive, and the energy during irradiation is also high. However, since the fine particles are fine particles, they have a drawback of being easily scattered before sintering.
一般に、基板上に形成された導電膜は、導電率が高い(体積抵抗率が低い)ほど性能が高いといえる。そのため、上記従来の技術により形成された導電パターンも、さらに導電率を向上させることが望ましい。 In general, it can be said that a conductive film formed on a substrate has higher performance as the electrical conductivity is higher (volume resistivity is lower). Therefore, it is desirable to further improve the conductivity of the conductive pattern formed by the conventional technique.

以下、本発明を実施するための形態(以下、実施形態という)について説明する。 Hereinafter, modes for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter referred to as embodiments) will be described.
本実施形態にかかる導電パターン形成方法では、扁平状の形状を持つ酸化金属粒子(以後、扁平状酸化金属粒子という)と還元剤とを含む組成物を準備し、この組成物に光照射またはマイクロ波加熱を行うことにより金属の焼結体を生成し、導電パターンとすることが特徴となっている。ここで、準備とは、例えばスクリーン印刷、グラビア印刷等により、あるいはインクジェットプリンタ等の印刷装置を使用し、適宜な基板上に上記組成物で所定の印刷パターンを形成すること、あるいは基板の全面に上記組成物層を形成すること等をいう。 In the conductive pattern forming method according to the present embodiment, a composition containing a metal oxide particle having a flat shape (hereinafter referred to as flat metal oxide particle) and a reducing agent is prepared, and the composition is irradiated with light or microscopically. A feature is that a metal sintered body is generated by wave heating to form a conductive pattern. Here, preparation refers to, for example, screen printing, gravure printing, or the like, or using a printing apparatus such as an ink jet printer, and forming a predetermined printing pattern with the above composition on an appropriate substrate, or on the entire surface of the substrate. It means forming the composition layer.
上記扁平状酸化金属粒子の厚みは10〜800nmが好適であり、好ましくは20nm〜500nmの範囲がよく、より好ましくは20nm〜300nmがよい。10nmより薄いものは調製するのが難しく、また800nmよりも厚いと焼結されにくくなるという問題が起こる。また、アスペクト比(粒子の幅/厚さ)については、ある程度大きくないと接触面積を大きくする効果が出ない。また、あまりに大きすぎると印刷精度が落ち、さらに粒子の分散をうまく行うことが出来ないという問題がある。そこで、好ましいアスペクト比は5〜200の範囲であり、より好ましくは5〜100の範囲である。扁平状酸化金属粒子の形状は、3万倍の倍率で観察箇所を変えて10点SEM観察して厚さと幅を実測し、厚さはその数平均値として求める。 The thickness of the flat metal oxide particles is preferably 10 to 800 nm, preferably 20 nm to 500 nm, more preferably 20 nm to 300 nm. If it is thinner than 10 nm, it is difficult to prepare, and if it is thicker than 800 nm, it becomes difficult to sinter. Further, the aspect ratio (particle width / thickness) must be large to some extent, and the effect of increasing the contact area cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if it is too large, the printing accuracy is lowered, and further, the particles cannot be dispersed well. Therefore, the preferred aspect ratio is in the range of 5 to 200, more preferably in the range of 5 to 100. The shape of the flat metal oxide particles is obtained by changing the observation location at a magnification of 30,000 times, observing the thickness and width by 10-point SEM observation, and obtaining the thickness as a number average value thereof.
扁平状酸化金属粒子としては、酸化銅、酸化コバルト、酸化ニッケル、酸化鉄、酸化亜鉛、酸化インジウム、酸化錫等が挙げられる。これらの中でも還元された金属の導電性が高い点から酸化銅がより好ましい。また、磁性等他の物性の点では酸化コバルトがより好ましい。 Examples of the flat metal oxide particles include copper oxide, cobalt oxide, nickel oxide, iron oxide, zinc oxide, indium oxide, and tin oxide. Among these, copper oxide is more preferable because the reduced metal has high conductivity. Further, cobalt oxide is more preferable in terms of other physical properties such as magnetism.
また、扁平状酸化金属粒子には、種々の酸化状態を持つ酸化物、例えば酸化第一銅や酸化第二銅のように酸化状態の違うものも含まれる。 Further, the flat metal oxide particles include oxides having various oxidation states, for example, those having different oxidation states such as cuprous oxide and cupric oxide.
本発明の導電膜形成用組成物には上記扁平状酸化金属粒子を含むことが必須であるが、他の形状、例えば球状、棒状等の上記酸化金属粒子や銅、コバルト、ニッケル、鉄、亜鉛、インジウム、錫、あるいはこれらの合金の金属粒子を併用することができる。その場合扁平状酸化金属粒子が全粒子に対して70質量%以上であることが好ましく、80質量%以上であることがより好ましい。 The composition for forming a conductive film according to the present invention must contain the flat metal oxide particles, but the metal oxide particles may have other shapes, for example, a spherical shape or a rod shape, or copper, cobalt, nickel, iron, or zinc. Indium, tin, or metal particles of these alloys can be used in combination. In that case, the flat metal oxide particles are preferably 70% by mass or more, more preferably 80% by mass or more based on the total particles.
扁平状酸化金属粒子と併用せず、球状の酸化金属粒子のみを使用して光照射またはマイクロ波加熱により導電膜を形成する場合には、特に粒径の小さい酸化金属粒子を用いた場合には、化学還元焼結により、粒子が連続的に連結された金属膜を与えることができる。しかし、酸化金属粒子の中心部まですべて還元するためには、照射する光またはマイクロ波のエネルギーを大きくし、かつ小さい粒子径の酸化金属粒子を使用する必要がある。このため、光照射またはマイクロ波加熱中に酸化金属粒子が一部吹き飛んでしまい、導電膜の厚さを厚くすることが困難であるという問題がある。また、焼成時に吹き飛ばないように、粒径の大きな酸化金属粒子を用いた場合には、粒子の内部の金属酸化物が還元できず抵抗が下がらないという問題が起こる。 When a conductive film is formed by light irradiation or microwave heating using only spherical metal oxide particles without using flat metal oxide particles, especially when metal oxide particles with a small particle size are used. By chemical reduction sintering, a metal film in which particles are continuously connected can be provided. However, in order to reduce all the metal oxide particles to the center, it is necessary to increase the energy of the light or microwave to be irradiated and use metal oxide particles having a small particle diameter. For this reason, there is a problem that it is difficult to increase the thickness of the conductive film because part of the metal oxide particles blows off during light irradiation or microwave heating. In addition, when metal oxide particles having a large particle size are used so that they do not blow off during firing, there is a problem that the metal oxide inside the particles cannot be reduced and the resistance does not decrease.
これに対して、本実施形態では、扁平状の形状を持つ扁平状酸化金属粒子と還元剤とを混合した組成物に光照射またはマイクロ波加熱を行うことにより金属の焼結体を効率的に生成し、抵抗が十分に下がった導電膜を形成する点に特徴がある。 On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the metal sintered body is efficiently formed by performing light irradiation or microwave heating on a composition in which flat metal oxide particles having a flat shape and a reducing agent are mixed. It is characterized in that a conductive film is formed and the resistance is sufficiently lowered.
本実施形態の導電パターン形成用組成物は扁平状酸化金属粒子を主成分とするため、光照射またはマイクロ波加熱により導電パターンを形成するための還元剤を含む。還元剤としては、メタノール、エタノール、イソプロピルアルコール、ブタノール、シクロヘキサノール、テルペニオールのようなアルコール化合物、エチレングリコール、プロピレングリコール、グリセリン等の多価アルコール、蟻酸、酢酸、蓚酸、コハク酸のようなカルボン酸、アセトン、メチルエチルケトン、シクロヘキサン、ベンズアルデヒド、オクチルアルデヒドのようなカルボニル化合物、酢酸エチル、酢酸ブチル、酢酸フェニルのようなエステル化合物、ヘキサン、オクタン、トルエン、ナフタリン、デカリンのような炭化水素化合物を使用することが出来る。この中で、還元剤の効率を考えると、エチレングリコール、プロピレングリコールやグリセリン等の多価アルコール、蟻酸、酢酸、蓚酸のようなカルボン酸が好適である。上記還元剤の配合量は扁平状酸化金属粒子に対してその還元に必要な量であれば制限はいが、通常後述のバインダー樹脂を含む組成物の溶剤としての機能を兼ねるので扁平状酸化金属粒子100質量部に対して20〜200質量部配合される。 Since the composition for forming a conductive pattern of the present embodiment is mainly composed of flat metal oxide particles, it contains a reducing agent for forming a conductive pattern by light irradiation or microwave heating. Reducing agents include alcohol compounds such as methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, butanol, cyclohexanol, and terpeniol, polyhydric alcohols such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and glycerin, and carboxylic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, and succinic acid. , Carbonyl compounds like acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexane, benzaldehyde, octyl aldehyde, ester compounds like ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, phenyl acetate, hydrocarbon compounds like hexane, octane, toluene, naphthalene, decalin I can do it. Of these, considering the efficiency of the reducing agent, polyhydric alcohols such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and glycerin, and carboxylic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid and oxalic acid are preferred. The amount of the reducing agent blended is not limited as long as it is an amount necessary for the reduction of the flat metal oxide particles, but since it also serves as a solvent for a composition containing a binder resin, which will be described later, the flat metal oxide particles 20-200 mass parts is mix | blended with respect to 100 mass parts.
上記扁平状酸化金属粒子を主成分とする組成物を印刷するためには、バインダー樹脂が必要となる。バインダー樹脂として使用できる高分子化合物としては、ポリビニルピロリドン、ポリビニルカプロラクトンのようなポリ−N−ビニル化合物、ポリエチレングリコール、ポリプロピレングリコール、ポリTHFのようなポリアルキレングリコール化合物、ポリウレタン、セルロース化合物およびその誘導体、エポキシ化合物、ポリエステル化合物、塩素化ポリオレフィン、ポリアクリル化合物のような熱可塑性樹脂、熱硬化性樹脂が使用できる。これらのバインダー樹脂は効果の程度に差はあるが、いずれも還元剤としての機能を有する。この中でもバインダー効果を考えるとポリビニルピロリドンが、還元効果を考えるとポリエチレングリコール、ポリプロピレングリコール等のポリアルキレングリコールが、また、バインダーとしての粘着力の観点からはポリウレタン化合物が好ましい。なお、ポリエチレングリール、ポリプロピレングリコール等のポリアルキレングリコールは多価アルコールの分類に入り、特に還元剤として好適な特性を有する。 In order to print the composition mainly composed of the flat metal oxide particles, a binder resin is required. Examples of the polymer compound that can be used as the binder resin include poly-N-vinyl compounds such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone and polyvinyl caprolactone, polyalkylene glycol compounds such as polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, and polyTHF, polyurethanes, cellulose compounds and derivatives thereof, Thermoplastic resins and thermosetting resins such as epoxy compounds, polyester compounds, chlorinated polyolefins, and polyacryl compounds can be used. These binder resins have a difference in the degree of effect, but all have a function as a reducing agent. Among these, polyvinyl pyrrolidone is preferable when considering the binder effect, polyalkylene glycol such as polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol is preferable when considering the reducing effect, and a polyurethane compound is preferable from the viewpoint of adhesive strength as a binder. Polyalkylene glycols such as polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol fall into the category of polyhydric alcohols, and have characteristics that are particularly suitable as reducing agents.
上記の通り扁平状酸化金属粒子を主成分とする導電パターン形成用組成物を印刷するためにはバインダー樹脂の存在は必須であるが、あまり多く用いると導電性が発現しにくくなるという問題があり、またあまりに少なすぎると粒子同士を繋ぎ止める能力が低くなってしまう。そのため、扁平状酸化金属粒子100質量部に対して、1〜50質量部、より好ましくは3〜20質量部の使用量が好ましい。上述の通りバインダー樹脂は還元剤としての機能を有するため、前述のバインダー樹脂を兼用しない還元剤は本発明の導電パターン形成用組成物における必須成分ではない。しかしながら、バインダー樹脂単独でその配合量が少ない場合には還元剤としては不十分となるため、バインダー樹脂の溶剤を兼ねる還元剤を上記配合割合を満たす範囲で併用することが好ましい。 As described above, the presence of a binder resin is indispensable for printing a composition for forming a conductive pattern mainly composed of flat metal oxide particles, but there is a problem that if it is used too much, it is difficult to develop conductivity. If the amount is too small, the ability to hold the particles together is lowered. Therefore, the usage-amount of 1-50 mass parts with respect to 100 mass parts of flat metal oxide particles, More preferably, 3-20 mass parts is preferable. Since the binder resin has a function as a reducing agent as described above, the reducing agent that does not serve as the binder resin is not an essential component in the conductive pattern forming composition of the present invention. However, when the amount of the binder resin alone is small, it is insufficient as a reducing agent. Therefore, it is preferable to use a reducing agent that also serves as a solvent for the binder resin in a range that satisfies the above-described mixing ratio.
上記扁平状酸化金属粒子を主成分とする導電パターン形成用組成物には、印刷する方法に応じて組成物の粘度調整等を目的として必要に応じて公知の有機溶媒、水溶媒等を使用することができる。 For the conductive pattern forming composition containing the flat metal oxide particles as a main component, a known organic solvent, water solvent, or the like is used as necessary for the purpose of adjusting the viscosity of the composition according to the printing method. be able to.
なお、本実施形態にかかる導電パターン形成用組成物には、公知のインキの添加剤(消泡剤や、表面調整剤、チクソ剤等)を必要に応じて存在させても良い。 The conductive pattern forming composition according to this embodiment may contain known ink additives (such as an antifoaming agent, a surface conditioner, and a thixotropic agent) as necessary.
上記導電パターン形成用組成物を導電性とするためには、導電パターン形成用組成物に光照射またはマイクロ波加熱を行う。また、基板上に導電性パターンを形成するためには、導電パターン形成用組成物を基板に印刷し、上記光照射またはマイクロ波加熱を行う。基板の材質は特に限定されず、例えばプラスチック基板、ガラス基板、セラミックス基板等を採用することができる。 In order to make the composition for forming a conductive pattern conductive, the composition for forming a conductive pattern is subjected to light irradiation or microwave heating. Moreover, in order to form a conductive pattern on a substrate, the composition for forming a conductive pattern is printed on the substrate, and the light irradiation or microwave heating is performed. The material of the substrate is not particularly limited, and for example, a plastic substrate, a glass substrate, a ceramic substrate, or the like can be employed.
導電パターン形成用組成物に照射する光としては、波長200nm〜3000nmの連続光またはパルス光がよく、焼成時の蓄熱が起こりにくいパルス光がより好ましい。本明細書中において「パルス光」とは、光照射期間(照射時間)が短時間の光であり、光照射を複数回繰り返す場合は図1に示すように、第一の光照射期間(on)と第二の光照射期間(on)との間に光が照射されない期間(照射間隔(off))を有する光照射を意味する。図1ではパルス光の光強度が一定であるように示しているが、1回の光照射期間(on)内で光強度が変化してもよい。上記パルス光は、キセノンフラッシュランプ等のフラッシュランプを備える光源から照射される。このような光源を使用して、上記組成物の層にパルス光を照射する。n回繰り返し照射する場合は、図1における1サイクル(on+off)をn回反復する。なお、繰り返し照射する場合には、次パルス光照射を行う際に、基材を室温付近まで冷却できるようにするため基材側から冷却することが好ましい。 As light irradiated to the composition for forming a conductive pattern, continuous light or pulsed light having a wavelength of 200 nm to 3000 nm is preferable, and pulsed light that is less likely to store heat during firing is more preferable. In this specification, “pulse light” means light having a short light irradiation period (irradiation time). When light irradiation is repeated a plurality of times, as shown in FIG. 1, the first light irradiation period (on ) And the second light irradiation period (on) means light irradiation having a period (irradiation interval (off)) in which light is not irradiated. Although FIG. 1 shows that the light intensity of the pulsed light is constant, the light intensity may change within one light irradiation period (on). The pulsed light is emitted from a light source including a flash lamp such as a xenon flash lamp. Using such a light source, the layer of the composition is irradiated with pulsed light. When irradiation is repeated n times, one cycle (on + off) in FIG. 1 is repeated n times. In addition, when irradiating repeatedly, when performing the next pulse light irradiation, it is preferable to cool from the base-material side so that a base material can be cooled to room temperature vicinity.
パルス光の1回の照射期間(on)としては、5マイクロ秒から1秒、より好ましくは20マイクロ秒から10ミリ秒の範囲が好ましい。5マイクロ秒よりも短いと焼結が進まず、導電性パターンの性能向上の効果が低くなる。また、1秒よりも長いと光劣化、熱劣化による悪影響のほうが大きくなる。パルス光の照射は単発で実施しても効果はあるが、上記の通り繰り返し実施することもできる。繰返し実施する場合、照射間隔(off)は20マイクロ秒から5秒、より好ましくは2000マイクロ秒から2秒の範囲とすることが好ましい。20マイクロ秒よりも短いと、連続光と近くになってしまい一回の照射後に放冷される間も無く照射されるので、基材が加熱され温度がかなり高くなってしまう。また、5秒より長いと、放冷が進むのでまったく効果が無いわけはないが、繰り返し実施する効果が低減する。 The irradiation period (on) of the pulsed light is preferably in the range of 5 microseconds to 1 second, more preferably 20 microseconds to 10 milliseconds. If it is shorter than 5 microseconds, sintering does not proceed, and the effect of improving the performance of the conductive pattern is reduced. On the other hand, if the time is longer than 1 second, the adverse effects due to light deterioration and heat deterioration become larger. Irradiation with pulsed light is effective even if performed in a single shot, but can also be performed repeatedly as described above. In the case of repeated execution, the irradiation interval (off) is preferably in the range of 20 microseconds to 5 seconds, more preferably 2000 microseconds to 2 seconds. If it is shorter than 20 microseconds, it becomes close to continuous light and is irradiated without being allowed to cool after one irradiation, so that the substrate is heated and the temperature becomes considerably high. Also, if it is longer than 5 seconds, the cooling is progressed, so there is no reason for no effect at all, but the effect of repeated execution is reduced.
また、導電パターン形成用組成物をマイクロ波により加熱することもできる。導電パターン形成用組成物をマイクロ波加熱する場合に使用するマイクロ波は、波長範囲が1m〜1mm(周波数が300MHz〜300GHz)の電磁波である。 Further, the conductive pattern forming composition can be heated by microwaves. The microwave used when heating the composition for forming a conductive pattern is an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength range of 1 m to 1 mm (frequency is 300 MHz to 300 GHz).

実施例1
還元剤としてエチレングルコール、グリセリン(関東化学株式会社製の試薬)の混合水溶液(質量比 エチレングリコール:グリセリン:水=70:15:15)を調製し、この混合水溶液にバインダー樹脂としてポリビニルピロリドン(日本触媒株式会社製)を溶解して、40質量%のバインダー樹脂溶液を調製した。このバインダー樹脂溶液1.5gと上記混合水溶液0.5gとを混合し、上記調製した扁平状酸化銅粒子1を6.0g加え、自転・公転真空ミキサー あわとり練太郎 ARV−310(株式会社シンキー製)を用いて良く混合し、印刷用のペーストを作製した。
Example 1
A mixed aqueous solution (mass ratio ethylene glycol: glycerin: water = 70: 15: 15) of ethylene glycol and glycerin (reagent manufactured by Kanto Chemical Co., Ltd.) was prepared as a reducing agent, and polyvinylpyrrolidone ( Nippon Catalyst Co., Ltd.) was dissolved to prepare a 40% by mass binder resin solution. 1.5 g of this binder resin solution and 0.5 g of the above mixed aqueous solution are mixed, 6.0 g of the prepared flat
得られたペーストをスクリーン印刷にて、2cm×2cm角のパターンをポリイミドフィルム(厚さ25μm)(カプトン100N、東レ・デュポン株式会社製)上に印刷し、溶媒を室温大気雰囲気下で乾燥除去した。このようにして得られたサンプルの印刷パターンに対して、Novacentrix社製PulseForge3300を用いてパルス光照射を行い、上記パターンを導電パターンに転化した。照射条件は、電圧250V、パルス幅1600マイクロ秒で単発照射した。その際のパルスエネルギーは3.47J/cm2であった。以上により形成した導電パターンの厚さは25μmで、体積抵抗率は2.05×10−5Ω・cmであった。表1に測定結果を示す。なお、光照射前の乾燥除去後の印刷パターンは絶縁性であり、株式会社三菱アナリテック製 ロレスタGPでは体積抵抗率は測定できなかった。 The obtained paste was screen printed to print a 2 cm × 2 cm square pattern on a polyimide film (thickness 25 μm) (Kapton 100N, manufactured by Toray DuPont Co., Ltd.), and the solvent was removed by drying in a room temperature air atmosphere. . The sample print pattern thus obtained was irradiated with pulsed light using PulseForge 3300 manufactured by Novacentrix to convert the pattern into a conductive pattern. The irradiation conditions were a single irradiation with a voltage of 250 V and a pulse width of 1600 microseconds. The pulse energy at that time was 3.47 J / cm 2 . The thickness of the conductive pattern formed as described above was 25 μm, and the volume resistivity was 2.05 × 10 −5 Ω · cm. Table 1 shows the measurement results. In addition, the printed pattern after drying removal before light irradiation was insulative, and volume resistivity could not be measured with Mitsubishi Analitech's Loresta GP.
図9(a)、(b)には、パルス光照射前後の上記パターンのSEM写真が示される。パルス光照射前である図9(a)に較べて、パルス光照射後である図9(b)の方が空孔が少ないことがわかる。 FIGS. 9A and 9B show SEM photographs of the pattern before and after pulse light irradiation. It can be seen that there are fewer vacancies in FIG. 9B after the pulse light irradiation than in FIG. 9A before the pulse light irradiation.
実施例2〜4
実施例1と同様にして、他の扁平状酸化銅粒子2〜4をそれぞれ用いてインク化(ペースト作製)、印刷後光照射を行った。結果を表1に示す。
Examples 2-4
In the same manner as in Example 1, the other flat
比較例1
球状の酸化銅粒子として、古河ケミカルズ株式会社製1−550(D50=720nm)6gを使用し、実施例1と同様にして印刷用のペーストを作製した。得られたペーストを実施例1と同様にしてパターン印刷し、光照射を行った。形成した導電パターンの厚さは23μmであったが、体積抵抗率が高く、株式会社三菱アナリテック製 ロレスタGPでは測定できなかった。測定結果を表1に示す。
Comparative Example 1
As spherical copper oxide particles, 6 g of 1-550 (D50 = 720 nm) manufactured by Furukawa Chemicals Co., Ltd. was used, and a paste for printing was produced in the same manner as in Example 1. The obtained paste was pattern-printed in the same manner as in Example 1 and irradiated with light. The thickness of the formed conductive pattern was 23 μm, but the volume resistivity was high and could not be measured with a Loresta GP manufactured by Mitsubishi Analitech Co. The measurement results are shown in Table 1.
比較例2
球状の酸化金属粒子として、シーアイ化成株式会社製NanoTek CuO(D50=270nm)6.0gを使用し、実施例1と同様にして印刷用のペーストを作製した。得られたペーストを実施例1と同様にしてパターン印刷し、光照射を行った。形成した導電パターンの厚さは22μmであり、体積抵抗率は7.68×10−4Ω・cmであった。測定結果を表1に示す。
Comparative Example 2
As a spherical metal oxide particle, 6.0 g of NanoTek CuO (D50 = 270 nm) manufactured by C-I Kasei Co., Ltd. was used, and a paste for printing was produced in the same manner as in Example 1. The obtained paste was pattern-printed in the same manner as in Example 1 and irradiated with light. The formed conductive pattern had a thickness of 22 μm and a volume resistivity of 7.68 × 10 −4 Ω · cm. The measurement results are shown in Table 1.
図10(a)、(b)には、比較例2のパルス光照射前後の上記パターンのSEM写真が示される。パルス光照射前である図10(a)に較べて、パルス光照射後である図10(b)では非常に空孔が多いことがわかる。粒径が小さい球状の粒子を使用したため、短時間に強い光照射を行った場合に吹き飛びやすく、転化された導体内部に空隙が生じやすいためと考えられる。 10A and 10B show SEM photographs of the pattern before and after the pulsed light irradiation of Comparative Example 2. FIG. It can be seen that there are very many holes in FIG. 10B after the pulse light irradiation, compared to FIG. 10A before the pulse light irradiation. Since spherical particles having a small particle diameter are used, it is considered that air is easily blown out when intense light irradiation is performed in a short time, and voids are easily generated inside the converted conductor.
表1に示されるように、比較例1、2にかかる導電パターンに較べて、実施例1〜4にかかる導電パターンは、体積抵抗率が一桁低下していることがわかる。 As shown in Table 1, it can be seen that the volume resistivity of the conductive patterns according to Examples 1 to 4 is one digit lower than that of the conductive patterns according to Comparative Examples 1 and 2.
