  • Patent number: 7963030
    Abstract: Disclosed is a multilayer wiring board in which a copper foil is bonded by a thermocompression bonding onto an insulating layer having a bump for interlayer connection buried therein, and the copper foil and the bump are electrically connected to each other. The copper foil is provided with an oxide film having a thickness of 50 ? to 350 ? on a surface in contact with the bump and an insulating layer. In a manufacturing process, for example, an oxide coating of the copper foil to be subject to the thermocompression bonding is removed by acid cleaning, and then an oxide film having an appropriate thickness is formed by irradiating the copper foil with ultraviolet light. Consequently, reliability in electrical connection between the copper foil and the burn is adequately ensured, while achieving sufficient mechanical connection strength between the copper foil and the insulating layer.

  • Publication number: 20110110066
    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.

  • Publication number: 20110005724
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a heat transport device manufacturing method and a heat transport device that has a high hermeticity and is manufactured without increasing a load applied at a time of performing diffusion bonding. [Solving Means] A bonding surface (1a) of an upper member (1) that is subjected to diffusion bonding to a bonding surface (21) of a frame member (2) is formed into a convex shape, which can make a contact area of the bonding surface (1a) and the bonding surface (21) small. Therefore, a pressure (load per unit area) applied to the bonding surfaces (1a and 21) is increased, and thus the diffusion bonding of the bonding surfaces (1a and 21) is performed by a high pressure. Similarly, a bonding surface (3a) of a lower member (3) and a bonding surface (23) of the frame member (2) are also subjected to the diffusion bonding by a high pressure.
