Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a liner-attached double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet. [Background technology]

[0002] Double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets have been used in various situations. The double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can exhibit adhesiveness due to the adhesive layer on both sides. In such double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets, a protective layer such as a release paper or a release liner (hereinafter also referred to as a liner) is often removably disposed on the adhesive surface until it is used.

[0003] The liners are disposed on both sides of the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, but when one liner is peeled off, a portion of the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet components (effectively, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer components) may adhere to the liner on the peeled side (the first-release liner), causing a phenomenon in which the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is held separately by both liners (a phenomenon known as "separation"). When this phenomenon occurs, the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet may not be attached smoothly, or may cause a poor appearance even if attached (for example, Patent Document 1).

[0004] To address the above-mentioned problems, a technique is known in which the two liners have different peel strengths with respect to the PSA sheet. With this technique, when one liner is peeled off, the double-sided PSA sheet is held by the liner with the higher peel strength, preventing the separation phenomenon.

[0005] On the other hand, the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet may be required to have removability. The removability may be imparted only to one side of the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, or may be imparted to both sides so that the removability can be manifested at different times. For example, a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet in which one side loses its adhesiveness due to an external stimulus (e.g., heating, ultraviolet irradiation, etc.) is known as a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that can be preferably used as a temporary fixing material in processing electronic components, etc. Such a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can be used in such a manner that the side that loses its adhesiveness due to an external stimulus is the workbench side, and an adherend such as an electronic component is placed on the other side, the adherend is processed, etc., and then the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is peeled off from the workbench by an external stimulus. In this way, it is possible to provide the electronic component to the next process while it is fixed to the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet.

[0006] In double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets having different adhesion and / or peeling mechanisms on both sides, such as the above-mentioned removability double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, the side to be applied has a back and forth, and the order in which the liners arranged on both sides are peeled off may be specified. In such cases, the liner arranged on the side to be applied first needs to be peeled off with a lower peeling force than the other liner. However, in the above-mentioned "technology for providing a difference in peeling force from the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet for two liners," it is not necessarily possible to configure the liner arranged on the side to be applied first so that it can be peeled off with a lower peeling force, and there are cases in which the technology cannot be effectively applied.

[0010] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a liner-attached double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having liners on both sides, in which the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet remains on only one of the liners regardless of which liner is peeled off first. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a liner-attached double-sided PSA sheet according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 13 is a plan view illustrating evaluation b of liner peeling operability in the example. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] A. Overview of double-sided adhesive sheets with liner 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a liner-attached double-sided adhesive sheet according to one embodiment of the present invention. The liner-attached double-sided adhesive sheet 100 comprises a double-sided adhesive sheet 10, a first liner 20 disposed directly on one side of the double-sided adhesive sheet 10 in a releasable manner, and a second liner 30 disposed directly on the other side of the double-sided adhesive sheet 10 in a releasable manner. By disposing the first liner 20 and the second liner 30, it is possible to protect the adhesive layer from contamination and the like, and to prevent blocking of the roll-shaped or sheet-shaped double-sided adhesive sheet.

[0013] The double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet 10 is a sheet that exhibits adhesiveness on both sides. The double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet 10 includes at least a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11 arranged so as to be in contact with a first liner 20. The first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11 contains heat-expandable microspheres. When the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing the heat-expandable microspheres is heated, the heat-expandable microspheres expand or foam, causing unevenness on the adhesive surface, resulting in a decrease or loss of adhesive strength. The double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet 10 including such a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11 can be easily peeled off by heating.

[0014] The double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet may be a single layer (i.e., may have a configuration including only a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer) or may be a laminate including multiple layers. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet 10 includes a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 11, a substrate 12, and a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 13, in this order. This configuration is useful because it allows the use of various pressure-sensitive adhesives and also allows the selection of various means, such as extrusion, application, and coating, as a method for forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

[0015] The peel strength of the first liner and the second liner from the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is 0.001 N / 50 mm to 2 N / 50 mm. The product (I) of the cube of the thickness of the first liner and the elastic modulus of the first liner is 1×10 -7 ~1×10 -2 ( N m The second liner has a product (II) of the cube of the thickness and the elastic modulus of the second liner of 1×10 -7 ~1×10 -2 ( N m In addition, the product (I) of the cube of the thickness of the first liner and the elastic modulus of the first liner, the product (II) of the cube of the thickness of the second liner and the elastic modulus of the second liner, and the total of all layers (III) of the product of the cube of the single-layer thickness of each layer constituting the double-sided PSA sheet and the single-layer elastic modulus satisfy the following relationships (1) and (2). 0.001≦(I) / {(II)+(III)}≦1500 ···(1) 0.001≦(II) / {(I)+(III)}≦1500 ···(2)

[0016] According to the present invention, by focusing on the characteristics of the liners and configuring as described above, it is possible to provide a liner-attached double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet in which the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet remains on only one liner, i.e., the tear-and-break phenomenon is prevented, regardless of which liner is peeled off first. The present invention has the following features: excellent operability in liner peeling, (i) the end of the liner (first peeling liner) is easy to pinch (easy to grab); (ii) a small part can be pinched up to trigger peeling; (iii) the folding angle of the liner when peeling the liner (preferably 90° to 180°, more preferably 120° to 180°, even more preferably 135° to 180°, even more preferably 150° to 180°, and particularly preferably 165° to 180°) is unlikely to fluctuate during the peeling operation. When the liner is peeled off in this way, the force acting during the peeling operation (peeling stress) is concentrated at the peeling point of the release liner (the part where the liner peeled off from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer contacts the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer). As a result, the force required for peeling can be reduced, and tearing of the adhesive layer at the peeling point and poor peeling of the liner that needs to be peeled away can be prevented, with the double-sided adhesive sheet remaining on only one of the liners.

[0017] Generally, pressure-sensitive adhesive layers containing heat-expandable microspheres often have raised portions on the surface, which tends to reduce the concentration of peeling stress when the liner is peeled off. Therefore, the liner-attached double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention, which has the above-mentioned effects while comprising a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing heat-expandable microspheres, is useful.

[0018] The above "(I) / {(II)+(III)}" is preferably 0.0035 to 250, more preferably 0.0035 to 150, even more preferably 0.0035 to 100, and particularly preferably 0.0035 to 30. The above "(II) / {(I)+(III)}" is preferably 0.003 to 500, more preferably 0.0035 to 300, even more preferably 0.0035 to 150, and particularly preferably 0.0035 to 130. Within such a range, the above effects are remarkable. Note that "the total (III) of the products of the cube of the single layer thickness and the single layer elastic modulus of each layer constituting the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet" refers to the product (x1, x2, . . . ) of the cube of the single layer thickness and the single layer elastic modulus for each layer constituting the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, and the total value of the products (x1, x2, . . . ) for each layer. For example, if the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet comprises a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, a substrate, and a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the sum (x1+x2+x3) of the product (x1) of the cube of the thickness of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the elastic modulus of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the product (x2) of the cube of the thickness of the substrate and the elastic modulus of the substrate, and the product (x3) of the cube of the thickness of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the elastic modulus of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer corresponds to the "total (III) of all layers of the product of the cube of the single-layer thickness and the single-layer elastic modulus of each layer constituting the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet." Furthermore, when the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet comprises a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, an undercoat layer, a substrate, and a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the sum (x1+x2+x3+x4) of the product (x1) of the cube of the thickness of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the elastic modulus of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the product (x2) of the cube of the thickness of the undercoat layer and the elastic modulus of the undercoat layer, the product (x3) of the cube of the thickness of the substrate and the elastic modulus of the substrate, and the product (x4) of the cube of the thickness of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the elastic modulus of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer corresponds to the "total (III) of all layers of the products of the cube of the single layer thicknesses and the single layer elastic moduli of each layer constituting the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet."

[0019] In one embodiment, the product (I) of the cube of the thickness of the first liner and the elastic modulus of the first liner, the product (II) of the cube of the thickness of the second liner and the elastic modulus of the second liner, and the total of all layers (III) of the product of the cube of the single-layer thickness of each layer constituting the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet and the single-layer elastic modulus satisfy the following relationship (3): 0.001≦{(I)+(II)} / (III)≦1500 ···(3) With this configuration, it is possible to obtain a liner-attached double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet and a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that are easy to cut and do not easily buckle when cut. Such an effect is particularly useful in a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that contains heat-expandable microspheres. {(I)+(II)} / (III) is more preferably 0.005 to 1000, even more preferably 0.015 to 500, particularly preferably 0.015 to 300, and most preferably 0.015 to 250.

[0020] In one embodiment, when the liner-attached double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is used, the second liner is peeled off first. More specifically, the liner-attached double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can be used by first peeling off the second liner, attaching an adherend (e.g., electronic component) to the exposed adhesive surface (e.g., the surface of the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer), and then peeling off the first liner, and attaching the surface of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to another adherend (e.g., a base). In such an embodiment, the adherend (e.g., electronic component) is temporarily fixed to the base via the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet; the adherend is subjected to a predetermined processing; and then the adhesive strength of the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is reduced by heating, and the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet with the adherend is peeled off from the base.

[0021] B. First liner, second liner Typically, the first liner and the second liner include a liner substrate and a release treatment layer disposed on at least one side of the liner substrate. The first liner and the second liner are disposed so that the release treatment layer faces the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet. The first liner and the second liner may have the same configuration or different configurations.

[0022] As described above, the peel strength of the first liner from the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is 0.001 N / 50 mm to 2 N / 50 mm. The peel strength of the first liner from the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is preferably 0.01 N / 50 mm to 1.5 N / 50 mm, more preferably 0.05 N / 50 mm to 1 N / 50 mm, and particularly preferably 0.1 N / 50 mm to 0.8 N / 50 mm. By setting the peel strength of the liner from the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet within the above range, the liner is not peeled off unnecessarily, the end face can be quickly picked up when the liner is peeled off, and the heat-expandable microspheres can be prevented from falling off from the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The peel strength of the first liner from the double-sided adhesive sheet (and the peel strength of the second liner from the double-sided adhesive sheet) refers to the adhesive strength measured by peeling the liner from the double-sided adhesive sheet of the liner-attached double-sided adhesive sheet (peel angle: 180°, peel speed (tensile speed): 300 mm / min) in an environment of 23° C. The peel strength of the liner from the double-sided adhesive sheet can be adjusted by any appropriate method, such as the composition of the adhesive layer, the type of liner, or a surface treatment applied to the liner.

[0023] As described above, the peel strength of the second liner from the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is 0.001 N / 50 mm to 2 N / 50 mm. The peel strength of the second liner from the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is preferably 0.01 N / 50 mm to 1.5 N / 50 mm, more preferably 0.05 N / 50 mm to 1 N / 50 mm, and particularly preferably 0.1 N / 50 mm to 0.8 N / 50 mm.

[0024] The peel strength of the first liner from the double-sided PSA sheet and the peel strength of the second liner from the double-sided PSA sheet may be the same or different. In one embodiment, the absolute value of the difference between the peel strength of the first liner from the double-sided PSA sheet and the peel strength of the second liner from the double-sided PSA sheet is preferably 0.5 N / 50 mm or less, more preferably 0.4 N / 50 mm or less, and even more preferably 0.2 N / 50 mm or less. According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a liner-attached double-sided PSA sheet in which the double-sided PSA sheet remains on only one of the liners, regardless of which liner is peeled first, without providing a difference in peel strength between the first liner and the second liner.

[0025] The thickness of the first liner is preferably 5 μm to 250 μm, more preferably 10 μm to 200 μm, even more preferably 20 to 150 μm, and most preferably 30 to 100 μm. Within such a range, a liner can be obtained that is excellent in identifiability and can easily maintain the peel angle (fold back angle) during peeling. In addition, a liner can be obtained that is easy to wind up when wound around a roll and prevents the problem of the liner separating from the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer during punching (so-called "floating"). In one embodiment, the thickness of the first liner is 10 μm to 100 μm.

[0026] The thickness of the second liner is preferably 5 μm to 250 μm, more preferably 10 μm to 200 μm, further preferably 20 to 150 μm, and most preferably 30 to 100 μm. In one embodiment, the thickness of the second liner is 10 μm to 100 μm.

[0027] The thickness of the first liner and the thickness of the second liner may be the same or different. In one embodiment, the thickness of the first liner and the thickness of the second liner are different. By using liners with different thicknesses, it is easy to identify the liner to be peeled off.

[0028] The elastic modulus of the first liner (substantially the liner substrate) is 500 MPa to 5000 MPa, more preferably 500 MPa to 4000 MPa, and even more preferably 700 MPa to 4000 MPa. Within such a range, a liner can be obtained that is excellent in operability, easy to wind up when wound into a roll, and prevents the problem of the liner separating from the adhesive layer during punching (so-called "floating"). In the specification, the elastic modulus means the elastic modulus measured by the nanoindentation method in an environment of 23°C. The elastic modulus measured by the nanoindentation method means the elastic modulus obtained by continuously measuring the load applied to the indenter and the indentation depth during loading and unloading when the indenter is pressed into a sample (which may be a liner substrate) and then obtaining a load-indentation depth curve. The conditions for measuring the elastic modulus by the nanoindentation method will be described later.

[0029] The elastic modulus of the second liner (substantially the liner substrate) is 500 MPa to 5000 MPa, more preferably 500 MPa to 4000 MPa, and further preferably 700 MPa to 4000 MPa. The elastic modulus of the first liner and the elastic modulus of the second liner may be the same or different.

[0030] As described above, the product (I) of the cube of the thickness of the first liner and the elastic modulus of the first liner is 1×10 -7 ~1×10 -2 ( N m ). The product (I) is preferably 1×10 -6 ~5×10 -3 ( N m ), more preferably 5×10 -6 ~2×10 -3 ( N m Within such a range, a liner can be obtained which is easy to fold back and which can easily maintain the peel angle (fold back angle) during peeling.

[0031] As described above, the product (II) of the cube of the thickness of the second liner and the elastic modulus of the second liner is 1×10 -7~1×10 -2 ( N m ). The product (II) is preferably 1×10 -6 ~5×10 -3 ( N m ), more preferably 5×10 -6 ~2×10 -3 ( N m ), particularly preferably 5 × 10 -6 ~1.5×10 -3 ( N m ), most preferably 5×10 -6 ~1.308×10 -3 (N m) Within such a range, a liner can be obtained that is easy to fold back and can easily maintain the peel angle (fold back angle) during peeling. The above "product (I)" of the first liner and the above "product (II)" of the second liner may be the same or different.

[0032] The liner substrate may be made of any suitable material. The liner substrate may be, for example, a plastic film, a plastic sheet, or various sheet-like materials such as paper, cloth, nonwoven fabric, metal foil, or a plastic laminate thereof, or a laminate of plastics. Among them, plastic films and plastic sheets (hereinafter referred to as plastic films) are most preferable from the viewpoint of handling and cost. The material of the plastic film may be selected as necessary from the viewpoint of strength, heat resistance, and the like. For example, olefin-based resins having α-olefin as a monomer component, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), ethylene-propylene copolymer, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA); polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT); polyvinyl chloride (PVC); polyphenylene sulfide (PPS); amide-based resins such as polyamide (nylon) and fully aromatic polyamide (aramid); polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyimide, polyetherimide, polystyrene, and acrylic resins may be mentioned. These materials can be used alone or in combination of two or more. The plastic film may be any of an unstretched film, a uniaxially oriented film, and a biaxially oriented film. These films may be laminated films consisting of two or more film layers, or from the viewpoint of handling, a film containing a lubricant such as inert particles may be appropriately added.

[0033] Any suitable treatment may be adopted as the treatment for forming the release treatment layer. In one embodiment, the release treatment layer is a silicone treatment layer. As the silicone, a reactive silicone compound whose main component is dimethylpolysiloxane and has a functional group required for crosslinking (curing) may be preferably used. This is because it can be applied to a film in a low molecular weight state, and can be cured after application to form a release treatment layer that is resistant to abrasion, etc. Examples of functional groups of reactive silicone compounds include vinyl groups, epoxy groups, alkoxy groups, and isocyanato groups.

[0034] The silicone-treated layer is formed, for example, by diluting the reactive silicone compound in a solvent or the like to adjust the concentration, and applying and heating the mixture using a gravure coater or the like. Heating promotes the drying of the solvent and the curing reaction. It is preferable to use a catalyst that promotes the curing reaction in combination. Examples of catalysts that can be used include complexes of metals such as platinum, palladium, rhodium, zirconium, and tin, organic bases such as amines, and organic acids such as acetic acid.

[0035] In one embodiment, the first liner and / or the second liner (substantially, the release treatment layer of each liner) has an intensity of Si-Kα radiation by fluorescent X-ray analysis of 0.01 to 500 kcps (preferably 0.5 to 250 kcps, more preferably 1.0 to 150 kcps, and even more preferably 1.05 to 100 kcps). In such a range, the liner can be peeled off from the adhesive layer with a small force, so that it is easy to quickly pick up one end of the liner in a small amount. In addition, the adhesion between the liner / adhesive layer becomes sufficient, and unnecessary peeling of the liner can be prevented. The intensity of Si-Kα radiation by fluorescent X-ray analysis is a value obtained by measuring the Si intensity of the release treatment agent layer and the non-release treatment agent layer by fluorescent X-ray analysis, respectively, and subtracting the strength of the non-release treatment agent layer from the strength of the release treatment agent layer. The strength can be adjusted by controlling the release treatment layer formation conditions, such as the application amount, concentration, application speed, and drying of the release treatment agent.

[0036] In one embodiment, the first liner and the second liner are different colors. A liner-attached double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet configured in this manner can be obtained, for example, by coloring one of the liners (for example, the liner substrate). If both liners are different colors, the front and back of the liner-attached double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet become clear, making it easy to identify the liner to be peeled off.

[0037] C. Double-sided adhesive sheet As described above, the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet comprises a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. In one embodiment, the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet comprises a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, a substrate, and a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, in this order. In one embodiment, the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet further comprises an undercoat layer disposed between the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the substrate. The undercoat layer makes it possible to obtain a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that has excellent conformability to an adherend. When the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing heat-expandable microspheres is heated, the heat-expandable microspheres expand, causing deformation in the thickness direction; however, the undercoat layer suppresses deformation in the direction toward the substrate, improving peelability.

[0038] The initial adhesive strength at 23°C when the first adhesive layer of the double-sided adhesive sheet is attached to polyethylene terephthalate is preferably 0.5 N / 20 mm or more, more preferably 0.5 N / 20 mm to 20 N / 20 mm, and even more preferably 0.5 N / 20 mm to 15 N / 20 mm. Within such a range, for example, a double-sided adhesive sheet useful as a temporary fixing sheet used in the manufacture of electronic components can be obtained. In this specification, the initial adhesive strength refers to the adhesive strength in a state where there is no adhesive strength reduction due to the expansion of the heat-expandable microspheres, and means the adhesive strength in a state where there is no thermal history of 50°C or more. In addition, the adhesive strength refers to the adhesive strength measured by a method according to JIS Z 0237:2000 (lamination conditions: 1 round trip with a 2 kg roller, peel speed: 300 mm / min, peel angle 180°).

[0039] The adhesive strength of the first adhesive layer of the double-sided adhesive sheet when attached to polyethylene terephthalate is preferably reduced to 0.2 N / 20 mm or less (preferably 0.1 N / 20 mm or less) by heating. The heating temperature is preferably 90°C to 300°C, more preferably 100°C to 280°C.

[0040] The adhesive strength at 23°C when the second adhesive layer of the double-sided adhesive sheet is attached to polyethylene terephthalate is preferably 0.5 N / 20 mm or more, more preferably 0.5 N / 20 mm to 20 N / 20 mm, and even more preferably 0.5 N / 20 mm to 15 N / 20 mm.

[0042] The total thickness (III) of all layers constituting the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is preferably 1×10 -6 N m ~1×10 -1 N m and more preferably 5×10 -6 N m ~5×10 -2 N m and more preferably 5×10 -6 N m ~3×10 -2 N m Within this range, a double-sided PSA sheet can be obtained that is self-supporting, has excellent operability in lamination, and is also excellent in flexibility. This effect is particularly useful in a double-sided PSA sheet that includes a first PSA layer that contains heat-expandable microspheres.

[0043] In one embodiment, at least one of the layers constituting the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is a colored layer. When there are multiple colored layers, it is preferable that each layer is a different color. With these configurations, the front and back of the liner-attached double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet are clearly distinguished, making it easy to identify the liner to be peeled off. Note that coloring refers to a state in which any or all light in the visible light region (250 nm to 700 nm) is absorbed and / or reflected. Any appropriate method can be used as a method for coloring any one layer.

[0044] As the colorant, a pigment or a dye can be used. As the pigment, for example, organic pigments such as acrylic pigments, azo pigments, polyazo pigments, anthraquinone pigments, quinacridone pigments, isoindoline pigments, isoindolinone pigments, phthalocyanine pigments, perylene pigments, DPP pigments, fluorescent pigments, condensed polycyclic pigments, and colored resin particles can be used, and inorganic pigments such as carbon black, synthetic silica, chromium oxide, iron oxide, titanium oxide, zinc sulfide, calcined pigments, and natural mica can be used. As the dye, acid dyes, reactive dyes, direct dyes, disperse dyes, cationic dyes, and polymer dyes can be used. As the ink, a commercially available product such as "NB300" manufactured by Dainichi Seikagaku Co., Ltd. can be used. It should be noted that coloring can also be achieved by mixing a colorant into the adhesive layer. In addition, when the composition of the adhesive layer has a fine structure of a size of about the visible light wavelength due to, for example, microphase separation between a hydrophilic composition and a hydrophobic composition, a phenomenon in which the coloring occurs according to the size, that is, a so-called structural color, can be exhibited, and coloring utilizing this phenomenon can also be used.

[0081] When the double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has the above-mentioned undercoat layer, the undercoat layer can be formed, for example, by applying a composition for forming the undercoat layer (adhesive) onto the substrate or onto the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

[0082] Any suitable coating method can be adopted as the coating method of the pressure-sensitive adhesive. For example, each layer can be formed by coating and then drying. Examples of the coating method include coating methods using a multi-coater, a die coater, a gravure coater, an applicator, etc. Examples of the drying method include natural drying, heat drying, etc. The heating temperature when heat drying can be set to any suitable temperature depending on the characteristics of the material to be dried.

In one embodiment, the liner-attached double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can be used as a sheet for temporarily fixing a semiconductor chip when manufacturing a CSP (Chip Size / Scale Package) or a WLP (Wafer Level Package). In one embodiment, the liner-attached double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is used in processing including a step in which the second liner is first peeled off.

More specifically, the Si-Kα radiation intensity (i) of the surface of the liner in contact with the adhesive layer (the surface coated with a release agent) and the Si-Kα radiation intensity (ii) of the surface not in contact with the adhesive layer (the surface not coated with a release agent) were measured, the absolute value of the value obtained by subtracting the value of (ii) from the value of (i) was calculated, and the average value of the 100 points was taken as the Si-Kα radiation intensity of the liner. The Si-Kα radiation intensity is the intensity at a wavelength of 7.125 angstroms measured using the following device. Equipment: Rigaku ZSX100e Analysis area: 30mmφ Analysis element: Si Analytical crystal: RX4 Output: 50kV, 70mA
