  • Publication number: 20160255724
    Abstract: An electrical connection material such as anisotropic conductive film that suppresses generation of warpage at electrical connection portion such as anisotropic conductive connection portion, and does not allow conduction reliability of connection body obtained by electrical connection such as anisotropic conductive connection to be reduced has a structure in which a conductive particle-containing layer is disposed between first insulating thermosetting resin composition layer and second insulating thermosetting resin composition layer. The conductive particle-containing layer is obtained by irradiating conductive particle-containing resin composition layer that contains radically polymerizable acrylate compound, photoradical polymerization initiator, non-radically polymerizable epoxy-based compound, and conductive particles with light, resulting in photoradical polymerization to form B stage state of conductive particle-containing resin composition layer.

  • Publication number: 20160155717
    Abstract: An anisotropic conductive film includes a conductive particle array layer in which a plurality of conductive particles are arrayed in a prescribed manner and held in an insulating resin layer. The anisotropic conductive film has a direction in which a thickness distribution, around the individual conductive particle, of the insulating resin layer holding the array of the conductive particles is asymmetric with respect to the conductive particle. The direction in which the thickness distribution is asymmetric is aligned in the same direction in the plurality of conductive particles. When an electronic component is mounted using this anisotropic conductive film, short circuits and conductive failure can be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20160149366
    Abstract: An anisotropic conductive film is capable of preventing a short circuit between terminals even though narrowing of the interval between connecting terminals advances. An electrically conductive support plate supports a base film having one surface with an adhesive layer. An array plate is disposed to face the adhesive layer and has through holes arranged in a pattern corresponding to the array pattern of electrically conductive particles. A spray sprays the electrically conductive particles together with a liquid while applying a voltage to the electrically conductive particles, in which the electrically conductive particles which are charged with an electrical charge are sprayed together with a liquid from the spray while applying a voltage between the spray and the support plate and the electrically conductive particles which have passed through the through holes of the array plate are arranged on the adhesive layer in the array pattern of the through holes.

  • Patent number: 8715833
    Abstract: A high adhesive strength and good conduction reliability can be realized when anisotropic connection is performed under compression conditions of a compression temperature of 130° C. and a compression time of 3 seconds using an anisotropic conductive film which uses a polymerizable acrylic compound capable of being cured at a comparatively lower temperature and in a comparatively shorter time than a thermosetting epoxy resin along with a film-forming resin. Consequently, an anisotropic conductive film has a structure in which an insulating adhesive layer and an anisotropic conductive adhesive layer are laminated. The insulating adhesive layer and the anisotropic conductive adhesive layer each contain a polymerizable acrylic compound, a film-forming resin, and a polymerization initiator. The polymerization initiator contains two kinds of organic peroxide having different one minute half-life temperatures.
