Furthermore, since metals generally have high thermal conductivity, adhesives, pastes, and films containing these solders and conductive fillers may be used to increase heat dissipation.
- a high-luminance lighting device or a light-emitting device is manufactured using a light-emitting element such as an LED
- a semiconductor device is manufactured using a semiconductor element that operates at a high temperature and is called a power device.
- the amount of heat generation tends to increase. Attempts have been made to improve the efficiency of devices and elements to reduce heat generation. However, at present, sufficient results have not been achieved, and the operating temperature of devices and elements has risen.
- the bonding material for bonding devices and elements is required to have heat resistance that can withstand the increase in operating temperature due to the operation of the device after bonding and maintain sufficient bonding strength as the bonding temperature decreases.

- solder when several layers of elements and substrates are bonded using solder, it is necessary to go through the heating process for the number of layers to be overlapped. In order to prevent melting of the already bonded portion, the solder used for the next bonding It is necessary to lower the melting point (joining temperature) of the solder, and the number of types of solder composition is required by the number of layers to be overlaid, which makes handling complicated.

The problem of decomposition and deterioration of the resin component at the time of use temperature rise has not been solved.
- solder containing lead has been conventionally used as a high-temperature solder used at a high operating temperature. Since lead is toxic, the trend toward solder-free solder is remarkable. Since there is no other good alternative material for high-temperature solder, lead solder is still used, but from the viewpoint of environmental problems, a bonding material that does not use lead is eagerly desired.

前記接合層が、硫黄の含有量が15原子%以下である金属で構成されていること、
を特徴とする接合体をも提供する。
ここで、上記の硫黄の含有量は、9原子%以下であることが好ましい。また、当該硫黄の含有量は、接合強度を確保でき製造工程が長引かず生産性も確保できるという観点から、0.35原子%以上であるのが好ましい。なお、上記の第一の被接合体及び第二の被接合体は、それぞれ、金属又はセラミックスで構成されていてもよく、セラミックスの表面に金属めっきを施した構成を有していてもよい。
本実施形態の接合用組成物は、無機粒子及び有機成分をそれぞれ主成分及び副成分とする接合用組成物である。以下において接合用組成物の各成分について説明する。
本実施形態の接合用組成物の無機粒子としては、特に限定されるものではないが、本実施形態の接合用組成物を用いて得られる接合層の導電性を良好にすることができるため、亜鉛よりもイオン化傾向が小さい(貴な)金属であることが好ましい。
D=Kλ/Bcosθ
ここで、K:シェラー定数(0.9)、λ:X線の波長、B:回折線の半値幅、θ:ブラッグ角である。
本実施形態の接合用組成物において、無機粒子の表面の少なくとも一部に付着している有機成分は、いわば有機保護層を形成し、いわゆる分散剤として金属粒子とともに実質的に金属コロイド粒子を構成する。当該有機成分には、金属中に最初から不純物として含まれる微量有機物、後述する製造過程で混入して金属成分に付着した微量有機物、洗浄過程で除去しきれなかった残留還元剤、残留分散剤等のように、金属粒子に微量付着した有機物等は含まれない概念である。なお、上記「微量」とは、具体的には、金属コロイド粒子中1質量%未満が意図される。
本発明の接合用組成物で無機粒子として用いる金属粒子の表面に付着する有機成分及び無機成分に起因する加熱減量は25質量%未満とすることが好ましく、20質量%未満とすることがより好ましい。より具体的には、当該接合用組成物を大気雰囲気で室温から500℃まで昇温速度10℃/分で加熱したときの質量減少率が25質量%未満であることが好ましく、20質量%未満であることがより好ましい。質量減少率を25質量%未満とすることで、金属粒子の表面を保護する成分が少なくなり、金属粒子同士が焼結及び融着し易くなる。
本発明の接合用組成物における硫黄の含有量は、無機粒子と硫黄の総量に対して10原子%以下であることを特徴としている。
本実施形態の接合用組成物を製造するためには、主成分としての、有機成分で被覆された無機粒子とその他の成分とを調製及び混合し、更に、接合用組成物に含まれる硫黄の量を制御する必要がある。
本実施形態の接合用組成物を用いれば、加熱を伴う部材同士の接合において高いせん断強度と長期信頼性を得ることができる。ここで、長期信頼性とは、接合体の機械的特性等が長期間維持されることを意味し、例えば、多数のヒートサイクルの印加によっても接合体の機械的特性等が低下し難いことを意味している。
トルエン200mLとアミン(ヘキシルアミン)15gとを混合してマグネティックスターラーで十分に攪拌した。ここに、攪拌を行いながら硝酸銀10gを添加し、硝酸銀が溶解した後に、カルボン酸合計15g(オレイン酸5g及びヘキサン酸10gを順次)添加し、硝酸銀のトルエン溶液を得た。この硝酸銀のトルエン溶液に、イオン交換水50mLに水素化ホウ素ナトリウム1gを添加して調製した0.02g/mLの水素化ホウ素ナトリウム水溶液を滴下し、平均粒径が22nmである銀微粒子を含む分散液を得た。なお、銀微粒子の粒径は上述の広角X線回折法方法で測定した。ここで、使用する材料は予め硫黄吸着剤が存在する窒素中に保管し、合成はグローブボックス内(硫黄吸着剤が存在する窒素中)で行った。
(1)質量率の測定

上記のようにして得られた接合用組成物及び金属接合体(接合層)の硫黄量等をXPS(エックス線光電子分光分析)によって測定した。本実施例においては無機粒子が銀粒子であるため、硫黄量は下記の式を用いて求めた。

上記のようにして得られた金属接合体を熱風循環式オーブンから取り出して空冷した後、冷熱衝撃装置(エスペック社製:TSA-41L)に投入して、高温度側:125℃で30分間、低温度側:-40℃で30分間のヒートサイクルを印加した。高温度と低温度に曝すことを1サイクルとし、200、500、1000、2000サイクル経過後のせん断強度を測定した(せん断強度試験規格:MIL STD-883G)。せん断強度が規格を満たさなくなるサイクル数を計測し、500サイクル未満の場合は(×)、500サイクル以上の場合は(○)、1000サイクル以上の場合は(◎)とした。
