Benefits of technology

[0008]The present invention has been developed in light of the above circumstances, and has an object of providing a silicone adhesive for a semiconductor element that exhibits a high degree of concealment, effectively reflects light emitted from LED chips, and can be used as a die bonding material.
[0019]The present invention is able to provide a silicone adhesive for a semiconductor element that exhibits a high degree of concealment and effectively reflects light emitted from LED chips, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency. This adhesive also produces favorable chip positioning properties, and exhibits a high level of adhesive strength and excellent durability. Incidentally, herein, what is meant by the adhesive having favorable chip positioning properties, is that when a tip is placed and pressed on the adhesive applied on a substrate, the chip can be placed well at a desired position without deviation, lift or the like.DETAILED

Problems solved by technology

However, die bonding materials used for fixing blue or white LED light emitting elements (chips) tend to yellow over time upon extended use, and in a similar manner to that observed for epoxy encapsulating materials, the die bonding material tends to absorb light, causing a reduction in the brightness.
Silver electrodes and gold electrodes are typically used for LED electrodes, but in those cases where a silver electrode is used, oxygen permeation or the like through the encapsulating material can cause oxidation and blackening of the surface of the silver electrode, resulting in a deterioration in the light reflection efficiency.
However, if a transparent silicone die bonding material such as that disclosed in Patent Document 1 is used with a gold electrode, then a problem arises in that the light emitted from the LED chip is absorbed at the gold surface, causing a deterioration in the light extraction efficiency.

[0075]The silicone base 1 was prepared in the same manner as example 1, and to 100 parts by mass of this silicone base 1 were added 50 parts by mass of the same titanium oxide powder (b1) used in example 1, 90 parts by mass of an alumina powder (c2) having an average particle size of 4.0 μm (product name: AL-43PC, manufactured by Showa Denko K.K.), and the same platinum catalyst (D1) used in example 1, in sufficient amount to provide the equivalent of 10 ppm of platinum atoms relative to the silicone component. The mixture was then stirred thoroughly, and 3 parts by mass of a hydrocarbon solvent with a boiling point of at least 200° C. was added, yielding a white paste with a viscosity of 20 Pa·s.

[0076]A mixture containing 45.8 g of vinylmethyldichlorosilane, 111.0 g of phenyltrichlorosilane (molar ratio 38:62) (average composition of mixture: (CH3)0.38(C6H5)0.62(CH2═CH)0.38SiO1.31) and 20 g of toluene was added gradually, in a dropwise manner, to a mixture of 120 g of toluene and 320 g of water being stirred inside a flask, with the addition controlled so that the temperature inside the flask did not exceed 50° C., thereby effecting a cohydrolysis. A polycondensation was then conducted by continuing the reaction at not more than 70° C. for two hours, thus forming a toluene solution of a three dimensional network structure organopolysiloxane (silicone resin) (P1) that exhibited a non-volatile component of 70% when heated for 30 minutes at 150° C. The solid fraction (P1) within this solution existed in a non-fluid gum-like state at 25° C. This organopolysiloxane solution was stripped for one hour under conditions of 80° C. and 15 mmHg, and to 100 parts by mass of the resultin...
