Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an adhesive sheet for transferring electronic components and a method for processing electronic components using the adhesive sheet for transferring electronic components. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, when transferring electronic components placed on a predetermined material to another material, the electronic components are received using an adhesive sheet, and then the electronic components are transferred to the other material. For example, when incorporating an LED chip into a device, the LED chip formed on the material is first transferred onto an adhesive sheet, received, and then transferred from the adhesive sheet to the predetermined device or material, thereby transporting the LED chip.

[0003] As described above, an adhesive sheet equipped with an active energy ray-curable adhesive layer can be used as an adhesive sheet for temporarily fixing electronic components (i.e., receiving and then transferring electronic components). Such an adhesive sheet exhibits a predetermined adhesive strength before irradiation with active energy rays (e.g., ultraviolet rays), allowing it to fix electronic components securely. After irradiation with active energy rays, the adhesive layer hardens, reducing the adhesive strength and facilitating the pickup of electronic components.

[0004] In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards the use of miniaturized and thin electronic components. Because small and thin electronic components do not have sufficient contact area with the adhesive sheet and are prone to damage during peeling, adhesive sheets equipped with an active energy ray curable adhesive layer that balances both fixation and peelability are preferred. However, particularly with miniaturized and thin electronic components (e.g., 100 μm square or less, 30 μm thickness or less), when the electronic component is received and fixed, a high proportion of the component becomes embedded in the adhesive layer. This results in the problem of difficulty in peeling and susceptibility to damage even after the adhesive layer has hardened. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-53558 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0006] The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its objective is to provide an adhesive sheet for transferring electronic components that is excellent in both fixing and peeling properties of electronic components, and that prevents defects such as damage even when the electronic components are small and thin, and enables the receiving and delivery of such electronic components. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The adhesive sheet for transferring electronic components according to the present invention comprises a substrate and an adhesive layer disposed on at least one side of the substrate, wherein the adhesive layer has an adhesive strength of 460 mJ / cm². 2 The nanoindenter modulus at 25°C after irradiation with ultraviolet light is 500 MPa or less. In one embodiment, the amount of sinking of the adhesive sheet using TMA in a 40°C environment is 3 μm to 27 μm. In one embodiment, the thickness of the adhesive layer is 2.1 μm to 35 μm. In one embodiment, the normal nanoindenter modulus of the adhesive layer at 25°C is 0.4 MPa or higher. In one embodiment, the normal probe tack value of the adhesive layer is 8 N / cm². 2 That's all. In one embodiment, the substrate is made of a polyester resin. In one embodiment, the thickness of the substrate is 30 μm to 200 μm. In one embodiment, the electronic component is a mini-LED or a micro-LED. In one embodiment, the adhesive sheet for transferring electronic components includes, in this order, the adhesive layer, the base material, and another adhesive layer. According to another aspect of the present invention, a method for processing an electronic component is provided. This processing method is a method for processing an electronic component using the adhesive sheet for transferring electronic components, and includes a step a of transferring an electronic component disposed on a first member onto the adhesive layer of the adhesive sheet, and a step b of picking up the electronic component with a second member and peeling the electronic component from the adhesive sheet. In one embodiment, the electronic component is a mini LED or a micro LED. In one embodiment, the step b includes a step b-1 of bringing the second member into contact with the electronic component on the adhesive layer, a step b-2 of irradiating the adhesive sheet with active energy rays, and a step b-3 of picking up the electronic component with the second member and peeling the electronic component from the adhesive sheet. In one embodiment, the first member is a sapphire substrate. In one embodiment, the electronic component is a micro LED, and in the step a, the sapphire substrate on which a plurality of micro LEDs are arranged is irradiated with UV laser light to transfer the micro LEDs onto the adhesive sheet.

Advantages of the Invention

[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an adhesive sheet for transferring electronic components that is excellent in both the fixing property and the peelability of the electronic components, prevents defects even when the electronic components are small and thin, and enables the reception and delivery of the electronic components.

Brief Description of the Drawings

[0009] [Figure 1] It is a schematic cross-sectional view of an adhesive sheet according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2]This is a schematic cross-sectional view of an adhesive sheet according to another embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] A. Overview of adhesive sheets for transferring electronic components Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an adhesive sheet for transferring electronic components according to one embodiment of the present invention. The adhesive sheet 100 for transferring electronic components according to this embodiment comprises a base material 10 and an adhesive layer 20 disposed on at least one side of the base material 10. Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an adhesive sheet according to another embodiment of the present invention. The adhesive sheet 200 according to this embodiment comprises an adhesive layer 20, a base material 10, and another adhesive layer 30.

[0011] The adhesive layer 20 contains an active energy ray-curable adhesive. The adhesive layer containing the active energy ray-curable adhesive hardens and loses its adhesive strength when irradiated with active energy rays. The adhesive sheet for transferring electronic components of the present invention (hereinafter also simply referred to as the adhesive sheet) has a predetermined adhesive strength before irradiation with active energy rays, allowing electronic components to be preferably fixed in place. On the other hand, after irradiation with active energy rays, the adhesive strength decreases as described above, making it possible to easily peel off (transfer) the electronic components.

[0012] The adhesive layer 20 has a viscosity of 460 mJ / cm². 2 The nanoindenter modulus at 25°C after irradiation with ultraviolet light is 500 MPa or less. The nanoindenter modulus is determined by continuously measuring the load and indentation depth on the indenter during loading and unloading, and obtaining the resulting load-indentation depth curve. Details of the nanoindenter modulus measurement method will be described later. The above ultraviolet irradiation is performed, for example, using an ultraviolet irradiation device (manufactured by Nitto Seiki Co., Ltd., product name "UM-810") with ultraviolet light from a high-pressure mercury lamp (characteristic wavelength: 365 nm, integrated light intensity: 460 mJ / cm²). 2 Irradiation energy: 70W / cm² 2 The process involves irradiating the adhesive layer with an irradiation time of 6.6 seconds.

[0013] Generally, when fixing electronic components on an adhesive layer, part (or all) of the electronic component may become embedded in the adhesive layer, thereby achieving a predetermined fixing force. On the other hand, when removing electronic components, the embedding of the electronic component becomes a factor that hinders peelability. In the present invention, because the nanoindenter elastic modulus of the cured adhesive layer is within the above range, the degree of freedom of movement of the electronic component in the planar direction on the adhesive layer is high, and an adhesive sheet is provided that allows for easy peeling of the electronic component even if part of it is embedded. Using such an adhesive sheet of the present invention, even when small and thin electronic components (e.g., mini-LEDs, micro-LEDs) are attached, it is possible to peel them off without damaging the electronic components. Furthermore, as described above, desirable peelability is achieved, allowing for sufficient embedding of the electronic component, and as a result, the adhesive sheet of the present invention also has excellent fixing properties for electronic components.

[0014] The initial adhesive strength at 23°C when the adhesive layer of the above adhesive sheet is attached to a stainless steel plate (SUS304) is preferably 0.1N / 20mm to 30N / 20mm, and more preferably 0.1N / 20mm to 15N / 20mm. Within this range, an adhesive sheet capable of holding electronic components well can be obtained. The adhesive strength is measured in accordance with JIS Z 0237:2000. Specifically, the adhesive sheet is attached to a stainless steel plate (arithmetic mean surface roughness Ra: 50±25nm) by one back-and-forth motion of a 2kg roller, left at 23°C for 30 minutes, and then the adhesive sheet is peeled off and measured under conditions of a peeling angle of 180° and a tensile speed of 300mm / min. The adhesive strength of the adhesive layer changes upon irradiation with active energy rays, but in this specification, "initial adhesive strength" means the adhesive strength before irradiation with active energy rays.

[0015] In one embodiment, the adhesive layer of an adhesive sheet is attached to a stainless steel plate (SUS304), and the pressure is 460 mJ / cm². 2The adhesive strength at 23°C after irradiation with ultraviolet light is preferably 0.01 N / 20 mm to 0.3 N / 20 mm, and more preferably 0.02 N / 20 mm or more and less than 0.2 N / 20 mm. Within this range, an adhesive sheet with excellent peelability can be obtained. Note that the adhesive strength after ultraviolet irradiation can be measured after the adhesive layer is attached to the substrate and then the adhesive surface is irradiated with ultraviolet light.

[0016] The thickness of the adhesive sheet is preferably 1 μm to 300 μm, and more preferably 3 μm to 200 μm.

[0017] The above adhesive sheet preferably has a depth of indentation of 2 μm to 35 μm in a 40°C environment using a thermomechanical analyzer (TMA), more preferably 3 μm to 27 μm, even more preferably 4 μm to 25 μm, and particularly preferably 5 μm to 20 μm. Within this range, the electronic component to be adhered to is adequately embedded in the adhesive layer, and an adhesive sheet with excellent fixation (i.e., acceptance) and peelability (i.e., transfer) can be obtained. "Depth of indentation in a 40°C environment using a TMA" refers to the depth of indentation after 20 minutes of contact with the adhesive layer using a thermomechanical analyzer (TMA). The measurement conditions are: probe diameter: 1.0 mm, mode: needle insertion mode, nitrogen gas flow rate: 50.0 ml / min, indentation load: 0.5 N, and measurement ambient temperature: 40°C.

[0018] B.Adhesive layer As described above, the nanoindenter modulus of the adhesive layer at 25°C after UV irradiation is 500 MPa or less. The adhesive layer has a resistance of 460 mJ / cm². 2 The nanoindenter modulus at 25°C after irradiation with ultraviolet light is more preferably 450 MPa or less, even more preferably 400 MPa or less, particularly preferably 350 MPa or less, and most preferably 300 MPa or less. Within this range, the above effects become significant. Furthermore, the adhesive layer has a viscosity of 460 mJ / cm². 2The elastic modulus of the nanoindenter at 25°C after irradiation with ultraviolet light is preferably 1 MPa or more, more preferably 5 MPa or more, even more preferably 10 MPa or more, particularly preferably 50 MPa or more, and most preferably 100 MPa or more. Within this range, an adhesive sheet can be obtained that has excellent fixing properties and allows for accurate transfer of electronic components. The elastic modulus of the adhesive layer can be adjusted by any appropriate method, such as the composition of the adhesive constituting the adhesive layer, for example, the structure of the polymer contained in the adhesive, the type and amount of crosslinking agent contained in the adhesive, etc.

[0019] The normal state nanoindenter modulus of the adhesive layer at 25°C is preferably 0.1 MPa to 55 MPa, more preferably 0.2 MPa to 40 MPa, even more preferably 0.3 MPa to 30 MPa, and particularly preferably 0.3 MPa to 20 MPa. Within this range, an adhesive sheet with excellent fixing properties for electronic components can be obtained. "Normal state nanoindenter modulus" refers to the modulus of elasticity before irradiation with active energy rays.

[0020] In one embodiment, the normal nanoindenter modulus of the adhesive layer at 25°C is preferably 10 MPa or less, more preferably 8 MPa or less, and even more preferably 3 MPa or less. Within this range, an adhesive sheet with particularly excellent fixing properties for electronic components can be obtained.

[0021] In another embodiment, the normal nanoindenter modulus of the adhesive layer at 25°C is preferably 0.4 MPa or higher, more preferably 0.5 MPa or higher, and even more preferably 0.8 MPa or higher. Within this range, the transferability is improved when transferring electronic components from a predetermined member (e.g., a sapphire substrate) to an adhesive sheet and allowing the adhesive sheet to receive the electronic components. Thus, an adhesive sheet with excellent transferability when receiving electronic components is particularly useful in processes (e.g., PSLLO processes) in which only a portion of multiple electronic components arranged on a predetermined member are selectively received by the adhesive sheet.

[0022] The storage elastic modulus at 25°C of the above adhesive layer is preferably 10 MPa or less, more preferably 5 MPa or less, and still more preferably 0.01 MPa to 3 MPa. The "storage elastic modulus" means the elastic modulus before irradiation with active energy rays. The measurement method of the storage elastic modulus will be described later.

[0023] The above adhesive layer has a tensile elastic modulus at 25°C after irradiation with ultraviolet rays of 460 mJ / cm 2 preferably in the range of 0.05 MPa to 100 MPa, and more preferably in the range of 0.1 MPa to 70 MPa. The measurement method of the tensile elastic modulus will be described later.

[0024] The thickness of the above adhesive layer is preferably 1.5 μm to 50 μm, more preferably 2.1 μm to 35 μm, and still more preferably 3 μm to 30 μm. If it is in such a range, an adhesive sheet can be obtained in which the electronic component as the adherend is appropriately embedded in the adhesive layer and has excellent fixability (i.e., receptivity) and peelability (i.e., transferability).

[0025] In one embodiment, the thickness of the adhesive layer is preferably 40 μm or less, more preferably 30 μm or less, and still more preferably 20 μm or less. By reducing the thickness of the adhesive layer, the transferability when transferring an electronic component from a predetermined member (for example, a sapphire substrate) to the adhesive sheet and allowing the adhesive sheet to receive the electronic component is improved. Thus, an adhesive sheet excellent in transferability when receiving an electronic component is particularly useful in a process (for example, the PSLLO process) of selectively receiving only a part of a plurality of electronic components arranged on a predetermined member with the adhesive sheet.

[0026] The normal probe tack value of the above adhesive layer is preferably 8 N / cm 2 or more, more preferably 12 N / cm 2 or more, and still more preferably 15 N / cm 2That concludes the explanation. Within this range, an adhesive sheet with excellent fixing properties for electronic components can be obtained. The upper limit of the normal probe tack value of the adhesive layer is, for example, 60 N / cm². 2 The method for measuring the probe tack value will be described later. "Normal probe tack value" refers to the probe tack value before irradiation with active energy rays.

[0027] The above adhesive layer has a viscosity of 460 mJ / cm². 2 The probe tack value after irradiation with ultraviolet light was 15 N / cm². 2 Preferably, the following: 12 N / cm 2 The following is even more preferable. Within this range, an adhesive sheet with excellent peelability can be obtained.

[0028] (Activated energy ray curing adhesive) As described above, the adhesive layer contains an active energy ray curing type adhesive.

[0029] Examples of base polymers constituting the above adhesive include acrylic polymers, rubber polymers (e.g., natural rubber, chloroprene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, nitrile rubber, etc.), polyesters, urethane polymers, polyethers, silicone polymers, polyamides, fluorine polymers, ethylene-vinyl acetate polymers, epoxy resins, vinyl chloride polymers, cyanoacrylate polymers, cellulose polymers (nitrocellulose polymers, etc.), phenolic resins, polyimides, polyolefins, styrene polymers, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetal, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl butyral, polybenzimidazole, melamine resins, urea resins, resorcinol polymers, etc. These polymers may be used individually or in combination of two or more. From the viewpoint of adhesion and cost, acrylic polymers and rubber polymers are preferred, and acrylic polymers are more preferred. The term "base polymer" refers to the main component of the polymer contained in the adhesive. The above polymer is preferably a rubbery polymer that exhibits rubber elasticity in the temperature range around room temperature. Furthermore, in this specification, "main component" refers to a component present in an amount exceeding 50% by weight, unless otherwise specified.

[0030] As the above-mentioned acrylic polymer, for example, a polymer of a monomer raw material containing alkyl (meth)acrylate as the main monomer and a secondary monomer copolymerizable with the main monomer is preferred. Here, the main monomer refers to a component that accounts for more than 50% by weight of the monomer composition in the above-mentioned monomer raw material. The content ratio of the main monomer is preferably 60 to 100 parts by weight, and more preferably 70 to 99.5 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of monomer in the monomer raw material.

[0031] As the alkyl (meth)acrylate, for example, a compound represented by the following formula (1) can be suitably used. CH2=C(R 1 )COOR 2 (1) Here, in equation (1) above, R 1R is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group. 2 R is a branched or linear alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms (hereinafter, this range of carbon atoms may be referred to as "C1-20"). 2 Preferably, it is a branched or linear C1-14 alkyl group, more preferably a branched or linear C6-14 alkyl group, and even more preferably a branched or linear C8-12 alkyl group.

[0032] Specific examples of the alkyl (meth)acrylates mentioned above include methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, propyl (meth)acrylate, isopropyl (meth)acrylate, n-butyl (meth)acrylate, isobutyl (meth)acrylate, s-butyl (meth)acrylate, pentyl (meth)acrylate, isopentyl (meth)acrylate, hexyl (meth)acrylate, heptyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, octyl (meth)acrylate, isooctyl (meth)acrylate. Examples include alkyl(meth)acrylates, nonyl(meth)acrylate, isononyl(meth)acrylate, decyl(meth)acrylate, isodecyl(meth)acrylate, undecyl(meth)acrylate, lauryl(meth)acrylate, tridecyl(meth)acrylate, tetradecyl(meth)acrylate, pentadecyl(meth)acrylate, hexadecyl(meth)acrylate, heptadecyl(meth)acrylate, octadecyl(meth)acrylate, nonadecyl(meth)acrylate, eicosyl(meth)acrylate, etc. These alkyl(meth)acrylates can be used individually or in combination of two or more. Among these, 2-ethylhexylacrylate (2EHA) and lauryl(meth)acrylate (LA, LMA) are particularly preferred.

[0033] In one embodiment, R 2Alkyl (meth)acrylates, which are branched or linear alkyl groups with 8 or more carbon atoms, are used. Using such monomers as the main monomers allows for the creation of adhesive sheets that exhibit a desirable elastic modulus before and after curing, and are particularly excellent in terms of fixing and peeling properties for electronic components. 2 Examples of alkyl (meth)acrylates in which the alkyl group is a branched or linear alkyl group having 8 or more carbon atoms include 2EHA, octyl (meth)acrylate, isooctyl (meth)acrylate, nonyl (meth)acrylate, isononyl (meth)acrylate, decyl (meth)acrylate, isodecyl (meth)acrylate, dodecyl (meth)acrylate, etc. 2 The content of the constituent units derived from alkyl (meth)acrylate, which are branched or linear alkyl groups having 8 or more carbon atoms, is preferably 60 to 100 parts by weight, and more preferably 70 to 95 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the base polymer.

[0034] The secondary monomers copolymerizable with the main monomer, alkyl(meth)acrylate, can be useful for introducing crosslinking sites into acrylic polymers or for enhancing the cohesive strength of acrylic polymers. Furthermore, it is preferable to use monomers as secondary monomers that have a functional group (functional group a) that can react with the functional group (functional group b) of the carbon-carbon double bond-containing monomer described later. As secondary monomers, for example, the following functional group-containing monomer components can be used individually or in combination of two or more. Carboxylate-containing monomers: for example, ethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acids such as acrylic acid (AA), methacrylic acid (MAA), and crotonic acid; ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acids such as maleic acid, itaconic acid, and citraconic acid, and their anhydrides (maleic anhydride, itaconic anhydride, etc.); Hydroxyl group-containing monomers: for example, hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylates such as 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, 3-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, and 2-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate; unsaturated alcohols such as vinyl alcohol and allyl alcohol; ether compounds such as 2-hydroxyethyl vinyl ether, 4-hydroxybutyl vinyl ether, and diethylene glycol monovinyl ether; Amino group-containing monomers: for example, aminoethyl (meth)acrylate, N,N-dimethylaminoethyl (meth)acrylate, t-butylaminoethyl (meth)acrylate; Epoxy group-containing monomers: for example, glycidyl (meth)acrylate, methylglycidyl (meth)acrylate, allyl glycidyl ether; Cyano group-containing monomers: e.g., acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile; Keto group-containing monomers: for example, diacetone (meth)acrylamide, diacetone (meth)acrylate, vinyl methyl ketone, vinyl ethyl ketone, allyl acetate, vinyl acetate; Monomers having a nitrogen atom-containing ring: for example, N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-methylvinylpyrrolidone, N-vinylpyridine, N-vinylpiperidone, N-vinylpyrimidine, N-vinylpiperazine, N-vinylpyrazine, N-vinylpyrrole, N-vinylimidazole, N-vinyloxazole, N-vinylmorpholine, N-vinylcaprolactam, N-(meth)acryloylmorpholine; Monomers containing alkoxysilyl groups: for example, 3-(meth)acryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-(meth)acryloxypropyltriethoxysilane, 3-(meth)acryloxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane, 3-(meth)acryloxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane; Isocyanate group-containing monomers: (meth)acryloyl isocyanate, 2-(meth)acryloyloxyethyl isocyanate, m-isopropenyl-α,α-dimethylbenzyl isocyanate. Furthermore, it is preferable not to use amide group-containing monomers that can produce polymers with high affinity for metals, from the viewpoint of maintaining release properties.

[0035] In one embodiment, a hydroxyl group-containing monomer is preferably used as the sub-monomer, and 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate may be more preferably used. Using this monomer, an adhesive sheet can be obtained that has a desirable elastic modulus before and after curing and is particularly excellent in fixing and peeling properties for electronic components.

[0036] The content ratio of the constituent units derived from the above-mentioned sub-monomers is preferably 0.1 to 40 parts by weight, and more preferably 1 to 30 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the base polymer. Within this range, an adhesive layer with high cohesive strength and excellent tackiness can be formed.

[0037] Furthermore, when a base polymer having a carbon-carbon double bond is used as the base polymer, as described later, it is preferable to use a sub-monomer having a functional group (functional group a) that can react with the functional group (functional group b) of compound B having a carbon-carbon double bond, as described later. In this case, the type of sub-monomer is determined by the type of compound B. As sub-monomers having functional group a, for example, carboxyl group-containing monomers, epoxy group-containing monomers, hydroxyl group-containing monomers, and isocyanate group-containing monomers are preferred, with hydroxyl group-containing monomers being particularly preferred. By using a hydroxyl group-containing monomer as the sub-monomer, the acrylic polymer has hydroxyl groups. In contrast, by using an isocyanate group-containing monomer as compound B having a carbon-carbon double bond, the hydroxyl group of the acrylic polymer reacts with the isocyanate group of the compound, and a carbon-carbon double bond derived from compound B is introduced into the acrylic polymer.

[0038] Furthermore, other copolymerization components besides the aforementioned sub-monomers can be used for purposes such as increasing the cohesive strength of the acrylic polymer. Examples of such copolymer components include vinyl ester monomers such as vinyl acetate and vinyl propionate; aromatic vinyl compounds such as styrene, substituted styrene (α-methylstyrene, etc.), and vinyltoluene; cycloalkyl (meth)acrylates such as cyclohexyl (meth)acrylate, cyclopentyl di(meth)acrylate, and isobornyl (meth)acrylate; aromatic ring-containing (meth)acrylates such as aryl (meth)acrylate (e.g., phenyl (meth)acrylate), aryloxyalkyl (meth)acrylate (e.g., phenoxyethyl (meth)acrylate), and arylalkyl (meth)acrylate (e.g., benzyl (meth)acrylate); olefin monomers such as ethylene, propylene, isoprene, butadiene, and isobutylene; chlorine-containing monomers such as vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride; alkoxy group-containing monomers such as methoxyethyl (meth)acrylate and ethoxyethyl (meth)acrylate; and vinyl ether monomers such as methyl vinyl ether and ethyl vinyl ether. Other copolymerization components besides these secondary monomers can be used individually or in combination of two or more. The amount of such other copolymerization components is, for example, 2 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the total amount of monomer in the monomer raw material.

[0039] Furthermore, polyfunctional monomers can be used as copolymerizable components for purposes such as crosslinking acrylic polymers. As the polyfunctional monomer, one or more of the following can be used: hexanediol di(meth)acrylate, polyethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, polypropylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, neopentyl glycol di(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol di(meth)acrylate, trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol hexa(meth)acrylate, epoxy acrylate, polyester acrylate, urethane acrylate, etc. The amount of the polyfunctional monomer is, for example, 30 parts by weight or less per 100 parts by weight of the total amount of monomer in the monomer raw material.

[0040] The above-mentioned acrylic polymers can be obtained by any suitable polymerization method. Examples include solution polymerization, emulsion polymerization, bulk polymerization, and suspension polymerization.

[0041] Preferably, a carbon-carbon double bond is introduced into the base polymer (preferably an acrylic polymer). By using a base polymer having a carbon-carbon double bond, an adhesive layer that hardens with active energy rays (typically ultraviolet light) can be formed. In addition to the above method, in the present invention, it is also possible to form a curable adhesive layer using an adhesive containing a polymerizable monomer or oligomer and an acrylic polymer, but from the viewpoint of obtaining an adhesive sheet with excellent peelability, it is preferable to form a curable adhesive layer using a base polymer having a carbon-carbon double bond.

[0042] Any suitable method can be used to produce a base polymer having a carbon-carbon double bond. For example, one method involves reacting a polymer A having functional group a with compound B having a functional group (functional group b) that can react with functional group a and a carbon-carbon double bond. In this case, it is preferable to carry out the reaction in a way that the carbon-carbon double bond does not disappear, and for example, condensation reactions, addition reactions, etc., can be used. As polymer A, for example, as described above, a polymer obtained by copolymerizing an alkyl (meth)acrylate as the main monomer and a sub-monomer having functional group a can be used.

[0043] Examples of combinations between functional group a and functional group b include combinations of carboxyl group and epoxy group, combinations of carboxyl group and aziridyl group, and combinations of hydroxyl group and isocyanate group. Among these, the combination of hydroxyl group and isocyanate group is preferred from the viewpoint of reaction traceability. From the viewpoint of polymer design, a combination in which the acrylic polymer has a hydroxyl group and the compound has an isocyanate group is particularly preferred.

[0044] Examples of compounds having the carbon-carbon double bond and functional group b include isocyanate group-containing monomers (isocyanate group-containing compounds). Among these, 2-(meth)acryloyloxyethyl isocyanate is more preferred.

[0045] The amount of isocyanate group-containing monomer blended is preferably 1 to 40 parts by weight, more preferably 5 to 30 parts by weight, and even more preferably 8 to 15 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the polymer before the introduction of the carbon-carbon double bond (i.e., polymer A).

[0046] Alternatively, carbon-carbon double bonds may be introduced while retaining the hydroxyl groups present in polymer A. In this way, the degree of crosslinking can be increased when the adhesive layer is heated. In this case, the molar ratio (a / b) of the hydroxyl group as functional group a to the isocyanate group as functional group b is appropriate to be greater than 1, and preferably 1.1 or higher.

[0047] The weight-average molecular weight Mw of the above base polymer (preferably an acrylic polymer) is preferably 10 × 10 4 ~500×10 4 And more preferably 20 × 10 4 ~200×10 4 And more preferably 30 × 10 4 ~100×10 4 Within this range, an adhesive layer with minimal residue and excellent adhesion can be formed. In this specification, Mw refers to the value obtained by GPC on a standard polystyrene basis.

[0048] Preferably, the adhesive contains a crosslinking agent. Examples of crosslinking agents include isocyanate-based crosslinking agents, epoxy-based crosslinking agents, oxazoline-based crosslinking agents, aziridine-based crosslinking agents, melamine-based crosslinking agents, peroxide-based crosslinking agents, urea-based crosslinking agents, metal alkoxide-based crosslinking agents, metal chelate-based crosslinking agents, metal salt-based crosslinking agents, carbodiimide-based crosslinking agents, amine-based crosslinking agents, and the like. These crosslinking agents can be used individually or in combination of two or more.

[0049] The content ratio of the above-mentioned crosslinking agent is preferably 0.1 to 10 parts by weight, and more preferably 0.2 to 8 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the base polymer of the adhesive. Within this range, an adhesive layer with appropriately adjusted nanoindenter modulus can be formed.

[0050] In one embodiment, an isocyanate-based crosslinking agent is preferably used. Isocyanate-based crosslinking agents are preferred because they can react with a variety of functional groups.

Preferably, a crosslinking agent having three or more isocyanate groups is used.

[0051] The above-mentioned isocyanate-based crosslinking agent is preferably added in such a way that the number of functional groups of the isocyanate-based crosslinking agent is 10 mol% to 50 mol%, and more preferably 20 mol% to 40 mol%, relative to the number of functional groups in the base polymer that can react with the isocyanate-based crosslinking agent. Adding it in such amounts allows for the formation of an adhesive layer with appropriately adjusted nanoindenter modulus.

[0052] The above adhesive may further contain any suitable additives as needed. Examples of such additives include photopolymerization initiators, tackifiers, plasticizers (e.g., trimellitic acid ester plasticizers, pyromellitic acid ester plasticizers), pigments, dyes, fillers, antioxidants, conductive materials, ultraviolet absorbers, light stabilizers, release modifiers, softeners, surfactants, flame retardants, antioxidants, solvents, and the like.

[0054] In one embodiment, a substrate made of a polyester resin is used as the substrate. A substrate made of a polyester resin preferably has rigidity, and by using such a substrate, it is possible to prevent misalignment when fixing electronic components.

[0055] The thickness of the above-mentioned substrate is preferably 2 μm to 300 μm, more preferably 5 μm to 200 μm, and even more preferably 10 μm to 200 μm.

[0056] In one embodiment, a substrate with a thickness of 30 μm to 200 μm (preferably a substrate made of polyester resin) is used. Using a substrate of such thickness makes it possible to prevent misalignment when fixing electronic components.

[0059] E. Method for manufacturing adhesive sheets The above-mentioned adhesive sheet can be manufactured by any suitable method. The adhesive sheet can be obtained, for example, by coating the above-mentioned adhesive onto a substrate. Various coating methods can be employed, such as bar coater coating, air knife coating, gravure coating, gravure reverse coating, reverse roll coating, lip coating, die coating, dip coating, offset printing, flexographic printing, and screen printing. Alternatively, a method in which an adhesive layer is formed on a release liner and then bonded to the substrate may be employed.

[0060] F. How to use adhesive sheets (processing method for electronic components) The adhesive sheet of the present invention can be used in the processing of any suitable electronic component to transfer the electronic component between members. For example, in one embodiment, a method for processing an electronic component using the adhesive sheet is provided, which includes (a) step a of transferring the electronic component, which is placed on a first member, onto the adhesive layer of the adhesive sheet (the adhesive sheet receives the electronic component), and (b) step b of picking up the electronic component with a second member and peeling the electronic component off the adhesive sheet (the adhesive sheet takes over the electronic component). Any suitable processing steps may be performed before step a, between step a and step b, and after step b.

[0061] In one embodiment, a plurality of the electronic components are arranged on a first member. In one embodiment, in step a, all the electronic components arranged on the first member are transferred onto the adhesive sheet. In another embodiment, only a portion of the electronic components arranged on the first member are selectively transferred onto the adhesive sheet.

[0062] In one embodiment, step b includes step b-1 of bringing the second member into contact with the electronic component on the adhesive layer, step b-2 of irradiating the adhesive sheet (substantially the adhesive layer) with active energy rays, and step b-3 of picking up the electronic component with the second member and peeling the electronic component from the adhesive sheet.

[0063] In one embodiment, the electronic component may be an LED. In one embodiment, a mini-LED or micro-LED may be used as the LED. A mini-LED is, for example, an LED chip with a side length of 100 μm or more, and has a structure in which a growth support substrate such as a sapphire substrate is adjacent to a light-emitting (epitaxial) layer mainly composed of gallium nitride. In this specification, even if the side length is 100 μm or less, an LED chip having a growth support substrate such as a sapphire substrate is defined as a mini-LED. The side length of a mini-LED chip is, for example, 50 μm to 500 μm, and the thickness is, for example, 30 μm to 200 μm. A micro-LED is, for example, an LED chip with a side length of 100 μm or less, and has a structure in which the light-emitting (epitaxial) layer mainly composed of gallium nitride is separated from the growth support substrate such as a sapphire substrate, and consists only of the light-emitting (epitaxial) layer. In this specification, LED chips that do not have a growth support substrate such as a sapphire substrate, even if one side is 100 μm or more, are defined as micro-LEDs. The side length of a micro-LED chip is, for example, 5 μm to 200 μm, and the thickness is, for example, 3 μm to 30 μm.

[0064] In one embodiment, the electronic component is an LED (preferably a micro-LED), and the first member is a sapphire substrate. In this embodiment, in step a, UV laser light is irradiated onto the sapphire substrate on which the LEDs are arranged to transfer the LEDs to the adhesive sheet. Here, the LEDs are detached from the sapphire substrate by chemically decomposing the interface between the sapphire substrate and the LEDs through UV laser irradiation. Specifically, gallium nitride present near the interface between the sapphire substrate and the LEDs is decomposed into liquid metallic gallium and gaseous nitrogen by UV laser irradiation, and the LEDs are separated from the sapphire substrate. In one embodiment, all LEDs arranged on the sapphire substrate are transferred onto the adhesive sheet. In another embodiment, only a portion of the LEDs arranged on the sapphire substrate are selectively transferred onto the adhesive sheet. [Examples]

[0065] The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. The test and evaluation methods in the examples are as follows. Unless otherwise specified, "parts" and "%" are based on weight.

[0066] (1) Nanoindenter elastic modulus Using a nanoindenter (Hysitron Inc., product name "Triboindenter TI-950"), measurements were taken at a predetermined temperature (25°C) using a single indentation method, with an indentation speed of approximately 500 nm / sec, an extraction speed of approximately 500 nm / sec, and an indentation depth of approximately 3000 nm, under normal conditions and at 460 mJ / cm². 2 The elastic modulus of the adhesive layer surface was measured after irradiation with ultraviolet light.

[0067] (2) Storage modulus of the adhesive layer under normal conditions A dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device (TA instruments, product name "ARES-G2") was used to measure the storage modulus G' and loss factor tanδ at a measurement frequency of 1 Hz, strain of 0.05%, and 25°C. Specifically, an adhesive sheet without a substrate, with a thickness of 50 μm, was prepared using the adhesive obtained in the examples and comparative examples. This adhesive sheet was laminated to a thickness of 1.0 mm or more, punched out to a size of φ8 mm using a jig, and set in the probe of the ARES-G2. Measurements were taken from -50°C to 200°C at a heating rate of 5°C / min. From the obtained data, the value of the storage modulus G' at 25°C was extracted.

Specifically, adhesive sheets without a substrate and with a thickness of 50 μm were prepared using the adhesives obtained in the examples and comparative examples, and these adhesive sheets were laminated to a thickness of 200 μm or more. With release liners attached to both sides of the sample, a tensile strength of 460 mJ / cm² was measured.2 After irradiating the adhesive layer with ultraviolet light once from each side and removing the release liner, a 10 mm wide sample was prepared. The distance between the chucks was 20 mm, and measurements were taken at a heating rate of 5 °C / min from 0 °C to 200 °C. From the obtained data, the value of the tensile modulus E' at 25 °C was extracted.

[0069] (4) Probe tack An adhesive sheet (20 mm wide x 50 mm long) was attached to a glass slide (Matsunami Glass Industry Co., Ltd., 26 mm x 76 mm) using a 2 kg hand roller, via double-sided adhesive tape (Nitto Denko Corporation, product name "No. 5600") to the entire surface opposite the adhesive layer on the evaluation surface. Subsequently, the probe tack value of the exposed adhesive layer surface and the tack value of 460 mJ / cm² on the exposed adhesive layer surface were measured. 2 The probe tack value after irradiation with ultraviolet light was measured using a probe tack measuring instrument (RHESCA, product name "TACKINESS Model TAC-II") with a 5mmφ stainless steel probe terminal, under the following conditions: probe descent speed (Immersion speed): 120mm / min, test speed: 600mm / min, adhesion load (Prelod): 20gf, and adhesion holding time (press time): 1 second. Measurements were performed with N=5, and the average of these measured values ​​was taken as the probe tack value. In addition, for the adhesive sheets of Examples 17-22, the adhesive side opposite the adhesive layer on the evaluation surface was attached to the above-mentioned slide glass using a 2kg hand roller, and the probe tack value was measured under the same conditions as above.

[0070] (5) Adhesive strength The adhesive layer of the adhesive sheet was attached to SUS304BA, and the adhesive strength of the adhesive sheet to the SUS304BA was measured according to the method conforming to JIS Z 0237:2000 (bonding conditions: 2kg roller, one pass; tensile speed: 300mm / min; peeling angle: 180°; measurement temperature: 23℃). In addition, the adhesive layer of the adhesive sheet was attached to polyethylene terephthalate film (Toray Industries, Ltd., product name "Lumirror S10", thickness: 25μm), and the adhesive strength of the adhesive sheet to the polyethylene terephthalate film was measured by peeling the adherend from the adhesive sheet according to the method conforming to JIS Z 0237:2000 (bonding conditions: 2kg roller, one pass; tensile speed: 300mm / min; peeling angle: 180°; measurement temperature: 23℃). Furthermore, after attaching to the substrate as described above, 460 mJ / cm³ of adhesive is applied to the adhesive layer. 2 The adhesive strength after irradiation with ultraviolet light was measured using the method described above.

[0071] (6) TMA sinking depth Using a thermomechanical analyzer (TA-instrument Co., Ltd., product name "TMA Q400"), a φ1.0 mm probe was used, and the indentation depth of the adhesive sheet was measured from the adhesive layer side in needle insertion mode under the following conditions: nitrogen gas flow rate: 50.0 ml / min, indentation load: 0.5 N, measurement ambient temperature: 40 °C, and indentation loading time: 20 min.

If it is 27 μm or more, the embedding performance is excessive (indicated by × in the table).

[0073] (8) Amount of deformation of the substrate The deformation of the substrate was calculated by subtracting the thickness of the adhesive layer of the adhesive sheet from the depth of the adhesive sheet's sinking, which was measured by thermomechanical analysis (TMA). If the depth of the adhesive sheet's sinking was less than the thickness of the adhesive layer, no deformation of the substrate was assumed.

If it is 20 μm or more, the positional accuracy when receiving the chip is insufficient (indicated by × in the table).

[0075] (10) 460 mJ / cm 2 Shear adhesion after irradiation with ultraviolet light The adhesive sheets (size: 20mm x 20mm) obtained in the examples and comparative examples were fixed by attaching the side opposite the adhesive layer to a predetermined base (for example, a 26mm x 76mm slide glass manufactured by Matsunami Glass Industry Co., Ltd.). A 1mm x 1mm silicon chip was placed on the surface of the adhesive layer of the adhesive sheet, and the silicon chip was heat-pressed using a heat press machine at 40°C and 0.05MPa for 1 minute to prepare evaluation samples. For adhesive sheets without a separate adhesive layer, double-sided adhesive tape (Nitto Denko Corporation, product name "No. 5600") was used to fix them to the base. From the predetermined base side of the obtained evaluation samples, ultraviolet irradiation was performed using an ultraviolet irradiation device (Nitto Seiki Co., Ltd., product name "UM-810") from a high-pressure mercury lamp (characteristic wavelength: 365nm, integrated light intensity: 460mJ / cm²). 2 Irradiation energy: 70W / cm² 2 An evaluation sample was prepared by irradiating the adhesive layer of the adhesive sheet with the silicone tip (irradiation time: 6.6 seconds). For the evaluation sample, under an ambient temperature of 25°C, a Nordson dage4000 was used. The measurement terminal was set on the side of a 1mm x 1mm silicon chip at a height of 50μm from the bonding surface, and an external force was applied horizontally to the chip at a shear rate of 500μm / sec. The maximum breaking load was read from the resulting load-displacement curve and defined as the shear adhesive force at an ambient temperature of 25°C. Measurements were performed with N=5, and the average value of N=3 (excluding the maximum and minimum values) was defined as the shear adhesive force of the sample.

[0076] (11) Transferability 460 mJ / cm² 2 The shear adhesion strength after irradiation with ultraviolet light is 2000 N / cm². 2 If the value is less than 2000 N / cm², the transferability when transferring the chip is excellent (indicated by ○ in the table), and the value is 2000 N / cm². 2 More than 2400N / cm 2 If the value is less than 2400 N / cm², the transferability when transferring the chip is good (△ in the table), and the value is 2400 N / cm². 2 If the above conditions are met, the transferability of the chip during handover is insufficient (indicated by × in the table).
