  • Patent number: 6510059
    Abstract: In mounting an electronic component using a conductive resin, a conductive resin containing a specific diluent component is used as the conductive resin, or a specific diluent component is applied to the conductive resin before being cured. This allows connection in a portion where an electrode (5) of an electronic component (4) and an electrode (2) of a circuit substrate (1) are opposed to each other to be provided via a resin (3a) containing a conductive filler as a main component, and allows connection at a lower surface of the electronic component (4) and connection in vicinities of the electrode (5) to be provided via a resin (3b, 3c) containing a binder resin as a main component that has oozed out of the conductive resin. The resin (3b, 3c) containing the binder resin as the main component increases junction strength.

  • Publication number: 20020158232
    Abstract: A conductive adhesive comprises main components of a conductive filler and a binder resin, and a content of the conductive filler is in a range from 20 wt % to 70 wt %. It is preferable that at least a part of the conductive filler has protrusions. A dendrite metal filler is especially preferred. When this adhesive is compressed, the resin component is squeezed out, while the conductive filler component remains inside. As a result, the concentration of the conductive filler component is raised inside, and this is useful in connecting the electrodes by scratching the surfaces of the electrodes. No solder is required in forming a conductive adhesive 3 on a substrate electrode 2 of a circuit substrate 1 and also for packaging an electronic element 4. Provided also are a package of an electronic element using the conductive adhesive with improved initial and long-term reliability, and a method of packaging the same.

  • Publication number: 20020062988
    Abstract: An electronic component mounted member includes a circuit board, an electronic component connected to the circuit board and an electrically conductive adhesive interposed between the electronic component and the circuit board. In a joining interface of the electrically conductive adhesive and an electrode of the circuit board, an intermediate layer that is formed of a thermoplastic insulating adhesive with a softening temperature of 100° C. to 300° C. is interposed between the electrically conductive adhesive and the electrode. An electrically conductive filler contained in the electrically conductive adhesive is present partially in the intermediate layer, thus allowing an electrical conduction between the electrically conductive adhesive and the electrode of the circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20020050643
    Abstract: A conductive adhesive agent of the invention contains an elution preventing film-forming agent 4, which becomes reactive after electric continuity through a conductive particle 3 appeared in the conductive adhesive agent when a binder resin 2 is being hardened, to thereby form an elution preventing film 5 on a surface of the conductive particle 3. By using this conductive adhesive agent, the packaging structure is made migration resistant and sulfurization resistant.

  • Publication number: 20020043652
    Abstract: The present invention provides a conductive adhesive and a packaging structure that can keep moisture-proof reliability even when a multipurpose base metal electrode is used. A conductive adhesive according to the present invention includes first particles having a standard electrode potential that is equal to or higher than a standard electrode potential of silver, and second particles having a standard electrode potential lower than a standard electrode potential of silver. A metal compound coating having a potential higher than that of metal particles as the first particles can be formed on a surface of an electrode having a potential lower than that of the metal particles.

  • Publication number: 20010015424
    Abstract: A mounting technique with improved adhesive strength and higher reliability against bending stress is provided with the use of a conductive adhesive including a binder resin and a metal filler as main components, in which a functional group is introduced into the molecular chain of the binder resin to form a multidentate bonding with an electrode metal easily. As a thermoplastic resin, at least two kinds of functional groups selected from the group consisting of a carbonyl group, a carboxyl group, an amino group, an imino group, an iminoacetic acid group, an iminopropionic acid group, a hydroxyl group, a thiol group, a pyridinium group, an imido group, an azo group, a nitrilo group, an ammonium group and an imidazole group are introduced. Accordingly, a strong bond with the electrode metal can be achieved. The conductive adhesive is screen-printed to an electrode disposed on a substrate, and after an electrode of a component is mounted, the structure is heated so as to create a mounted structure.

  • Publication number: 20010005053
    Abstract: A surface of an external electrode 3 of an electronic part 4 is formed with a coating containing resin ingredient. Thereby, adhesion strength and reliability may be significantly improved in mounting an electronic part onto a circuit board 1 through the medium of a conductive adhesive. Further, it will be able to mount an electronic part to an element to be mounted by utilizing a conductive adhesive forming an external electrode 3 as a connecting element.
