Patent number: 8710662Abstract: A light-reflective anisotropic conductive paste is used as an anisotropic conductive paste when a light-emitting device is produced by flip-chip mounting a light-emitting element such as a light-emitting diode element (LED) on a wiring board. The light-reflective anisotropic conductive paste includes light-reflective insulating particles, in order to improve light emission efficiency without providing, in the LED, a light-reflecting layer that causes an increase in manufacturing cost. With the light-reflective anisotropic conductive paste, a reduction in bonding strength of the light-emitting element to the wiring board in a high-temperature environment can be suppressed, and a reduction in conduction reliability after a TCT can also be suppressed. In the light-reflective anisotropic conductive paste, conductive particles and the light-reflective insulating particles are dispersed in a thermosetting resin composition.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2011Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Sony Corporation & Information Device CorporationInventors: Hideaki Umakoshi, Hidetsugu Namiki, Akira Ishigami, Masaharu Aoki, Shiyuki Kanisawa, Yoshihisa Shinya

Patent number: 7625814Abstract: A method of filling a conductive material in a three dimensional integration feature formed on a surface of a wafer is disclosed. The feature is optionally lined with dielectric and/or adhesion/barrier layers and then filled with a liquid mixture containing conductive precursor, such as a solution with dissolved ruthenium precursor or a dispersion or suspension with conductive particles (e.g., gold, silver, copper), and the substrate is rotated while the mixture is on its surface. Then, the liquid carrier is dried from the feature, leaving a conductive layer in the feature. These two steps are optionally repeated until the feature is filled up with the conductor. Then, the conductor is annealed in the feature, thereby forming a dense conductive plug in the feature.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2007Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: ASM Nutool, Inc.Inventors: Ismail Emesh, Chantal J.

Patent number: 7384862Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to alleviate unevenness due to an opening for making a contact with the lower layer even when the opening has a large diameter (1 ?m or more). Thus, it is a further object of the invention to reduce defects caused by the unevenness due to the contact hole. It is a feature of the invention to form a wiring by filling the contact hole with conductive fine particles. The conductive fine particles can be easily dispersed into a wiring material by using conductive fine particles having high wettability with the wiring material, thereby making a contact. Thus, planarization of a contact hole can be achieved without performing a reflow process. Further, more planarity can be obtained by performing a reflow process in addition, and the reliability is improved accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2004Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd.Inventor: Shunpei Yamazaki
