Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to alkali-free glass. The invention also relates to glass plates containing such alkali-free glass, glass substrates for high-frequency devices, panel antennas, window glass, vehicle window glass, and cover glass for touch panels. [Background technology]

[0002] Examples of electronic devices include communication equipment such as mobile phones, smartphones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and Wi-Fi devices, as well as surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, radar components, and antenna components. In such electronic devices, the signal frequency is being increased to achieve higher communication capacities and faster communication speeds. Circuit boards used in high-frequency electronic equipment generally use insulating substrates such as resin substrates, ceramic substrates, and glass substrates. Insulating substrates used in high-frequency devices are required to reduce transmission losses due to dielectric loss and conductor loss in order to ensure the quality and strength of high-frequency signals.

[0003] Of these insulating substrates, resin substrates have low rigidity due to their properties. Therefore, resin substrates are difficult to apply when rigidity (strength) is required for semiconductor packaging products. Ceramic substrates have the drawback that it is difficult to improve surface smoothness, which tends to increase conductor loss due to conductors formed on the substrate surface. On the other hand, glass substrates have high rigidity, making it easy to miniaturize and thin packages, and they also have excellent surface smoothness and can be easily enlarged as substrates themselves.

[0004] Patent Document 1 discloses a glass substrate for high-frequency devices having a dielectric loss tangent of 0.007 or less at a frequency of 35 GHz. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2018 / 051793 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0006] In recent years, in addition to reducing the dielectric loss tangent in the high-frequency range, glass substrates for the above applications are required to have excellent acid resistance. In the manufacturing process of circuit boards such as liquid crystal antennas and high-frequency devices, chemical cleaning is performed as a pretreatment before forming a wiring layer on the glass substrate. If the chemical resistance of the glass is low, for example, during acid cleaning, the substrate surface may dissolve, impairing the smoothness of the substrate surface, which may reduce the adhesion of the film formed on the substrate surface. In addition, there is a risk that eluted substances may adhere to the substrate surface. This may lead to increased conductor loss caused by the conductors formed on the substrate surface.

[0007] Furthermore, glass substrates for the above applications are required to have excellent moisture resistance. If moisture resistance is low, the substrate surface may deteriorate during storage, potentially impairing its smoothness. Excellent moisture resistance also allows the substrate to withstand use under high humidity conditions.

[0008] Furthermore, glass substrates for the above applications are required to have excellent phase separation characteristics. If the glass has excellent phase separation characteristics, for example, localized irregularities on the substrate surface can be effectively prevented when the glass substrate is acid-cleaned. This reduces the transmission loss of high-frequency signals.

[0009] The present invention aims to provide alkali-free glass that exhibits low dielectric loss tangent in the high-frequency range and excellent acid resistance, moisture resistance, and phase separation characteristics. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] The inventors of the present invention have found that by specifying a particular composition range for the glass, and in particular by reducing the proportion of three-coordinate boron in the boron contained in the glass, moisture resistance can be improved while maintaining good dielectric loss and acid resistance, thereby solving the above problems, and have completed the present invention.

[0011] The alkali-free glass of the present invention has a low dielectric loss tangent in the high-frequency range. Therefore, it can reduce dielectric loss of high-frequency signals and is suitable for glass substrates for high-frequency devices. Circuit boards using such glass substrates can reduce transmission loss of high-frequency signals and provide practical high-frequency devices such as electronic devices. The alkali-free glass of the present invention exhibits excellent acid resistance. Therefore, when glass substrates are acid-cleaned during the manufacturing process of circuit boards such as liquid crystal antennas and high-frequency devices, there is no risk of the substrate surface dissolving, deteriorating the smoothness of the substrate surface, or of leached substances adhering to the substrate surface. This prevents a decrease in the adhesion of films formed on the substrate surface. Furthermore, it prevents an increase in conductor loss. The alkali-free glass of the present invention can reduce the transmission loss of radio waves in the high frequency band. Therefore, it is suitable for glass products that transmit and receive radio waves in the high frequency band. The alkali-free glass of this invention has excellent moisture resistance. Therefore, it can prevent deterioration during storage. Furthermore, it is suitable for use under high temperature and high humidity conditions. The alkali-free glass of the present invention exhibits excellent phase separation characteristics. Therefore, for example, it can effectively prevent localized irregularities from forming on the substrate surface when a glass substrate is acid-cleaned. This reduces the transmission loss of high-frequency signals. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

However, the structure of the first and second wiring layers 3 and 4 is not limited to this. Furthermore, the wiring layers may be formed on only one of the main surfaces of the glass substrate 2.

[0086] The first and second wiring layers 3 and 4 are layers formed of a conductor, and their thickness is typically around 0.1 to 50 μm. The conductors forming the first and second wiring layers 3 and 4 are not particularly limited, and for example, metals such as copper, gold, silver, aluminum, titanium, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, platinum, and nickel, or alloys and metal compounds containing at least one of these metals can be used. The structure of the first and second wiring layers 3 and 4 is not limited to a single-layer structure, but may have a multi-layer structure, such as a laminated structure of a titanium layer and a copper layer. The method for forming the first and second wiring layers 3 and 4 is not particularly limited, and for example, various known formation methods such as printing using a conductor paste, dipping, plating, vapor deposition, and sputtering can be applied.

[0087] When the glass plate of the present invention is used as the glass substrate 2, it is preferable that the dielectric loss tangent (tanδ) of the glass substrate 2 at a frequency of 35 GHz is 0.005 or less. If the dielectric loss tangent of the glass substrate 2 at a frequency of 35 GHz is 0.005 or less, dielectric loss in the high-frequency region exceeding 30 GHz can be reduced. The dielectric loss tangent of the glass substrate 2 at a frequency of 35 GHz is more preferably 0.004 or less, even more preferably 0.003 or less, even more preferably 0.0025 or less, especially preferably 0.002 or less, and still more preferably 0.0015 or less. A relative permittivity of 5 or less at a frequency of 35 GHz is preferable because it reduces dielectric loss in the high-frequency range. A relative permittivity of 4.8 or less at a frequency of 35 GHz is more preferable, 4.7 or less is even more preferable, 4.6 or less is even more preferable, 4.5 or less is particularly preferable, 4.3 or less is even more preferable, 4.2 or less is even more preferable, 4.1 or less is even more preferable, and 4 or less is even more preferable.

[0088] Furthermore, the glass substrate 2 has main surfaces 2a and 2b and an end face. At least one of the main surfaces 2a and 2b on which the first and second wiring layers 3 and 4 are formed on the glass substrate 2 preferably has an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of 1.5 nm or less, and more preferably both main surfaces have an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of 1.5 nm or less. If the arithmetic mean roughness Ra of the main surfaces is within the above range, even if the skin effect occurs on the first and second wiring layers 3 and 4 in a high-frequency region exceeding 30 GHz, the skin resistance of the first and second wiring layers 3 and 4 can be reduced, thereby reducing conductor loss. The arithmetic mean roughness Ra of the main surfaces 2a and 2b of the glass substrate 2 is more preferably 1 nm or less, and even more preferably 0.5 nm or less. The main surface of the glass substrate 2 refers to the surface on which the wiring layer is formed. If the wiring layer is formed on one of the main surfaces, it is sufficient that the arithmetic mean roughness Ra of that one main surface satisfies the condition of 1.5 nm or less. In this specification, the arithmetic mean roughness Ra refers to the value in accordance with JIS B0601 (2001).

[0089] The surface roughness of the main surfaces 2a and 2b of the glass substrate 2 can be achieved as needed by polishing the surface of the glass substrate 2. For polishing the surface of the glass substrate 2, for example, polishing using an abrasive mainly composed of cerium oxide or colloidal silica and a polishing pad; polishing using a polishing slurry containing an abrasive and an acidic or alkaline dispersion medium and a polishing pad; or polishing using an acidic or alkaline etching solution. These polishing treatments are applied according to the surface roughness of the raw material of the glass substrate 2, and for example, pre-polishing and finish polishing may be applied in combination. In addition, it is preferable to chamfer the edges of the glass substrate 2 to prevent cracking, chipping, or breakage of the glass substrate 2 caused by the edges during process flow. The chamfering can be any of the following: C-chamfering, R-chamfering, thread chamfering, etc.

[0090] The use of such a glass substrate 2 can reduce the transmission loss of the circuit board 1 at a frequency of 35 GHz. For example, it can be reduced to 1 dB / cm or less. Therefore, the characteristics such as quality and intensity of high-frequency signals, especially high-frequency signals exceeding 30 GHz, and even high-frequency signals above 35 GHz, are maintained, making it possible to provide a glass substrate 2 and circuit board 1 suitable for high-frequency devices that handle such high-frequency signals. In other words, the characteristics and quality of high-frequency devices that handle such high-frequency signals can be improved. The transmission loss of the circuit board 1 at a frequency of 35 GHz is preferably 0.5 dB / cm or less.

[0091] The shape of the glass plate of the present invention is not particularly limited, but a thickness of 0.7 mm or less is preferred. When the glass plate thickness is 0.7 mm or less, it can be used as a glass substrate for high-frequency devices to make high-frequency devices thinner, smaller, and improve production efficiency. In addition, the ultraviolet transmittance is improved, and manufacturability can be enhanced by using ultraviolet curing materials in the device manufacturing process. The thickness of the glass plate is more preferably 0.6 mm or less, even more preferably 0.5 mm or less, even more preferably 0.4 mm or less, especially preferably 0.3 mm or less, still even more preferably 0.2 mm or less, and most preferably 0.1 mm or less. The lower limit is about 0.01 mm.

[0092] When the glass plate is used as a large substrate, it is preferable that at least one side is 1000 mm or longer, more preferably 1500 mm or longer, and even more preferably 1800 mm or longer. There is no particular upper limit, but the size of one side is usually 4000 mm or less. The glass plate is also preferably rectangular.

[0093] Next, the method for manufacturing a glass plate according to the present invention will be described. When manufacturing a glass plate, the process involves a melting step in which glass raw materials are heated to obtain molten glass, a clarification step in which bubbles are removed from the molten glass, a molding step in which the molten glass is formed into a plate shape to obtain a glass ribbon, and a slow cooling step in which the glass ribbon is slowly cooled to room temperature. Alternatively, a method may be used in which the molten glass is formed into a block shape, slowly cooled, and then cut and polished to produce a glass plate.

[0094] The melting process involves preparing the raw materials to achieve the target glass composition, continuously feeding the raw materials into a melting furnace, and heating them to a temperature of preferably 1450 to 1750°C to obtain molten glass. In this embodiment, the alkali-free glass has a low resistance value in the temperature range where the glass raw materials melt, for example, around 1500°C. Therefore, it is preferable to use an electric melting furnace and melt the glass by electric heating. However, electric heating and heating with a burner may be used in combination.

[0095] The raw materials can also include halides such as oxides, carbonates, nitrates, hydroxides, and chlorides. In processes where molten glass comes into contact with platinum during dissolution or clarification, minute platinum particles may dissolve into the molten glass and become foreign matter in the resulting glass plate. However, using nitrate raw materials is effective in preventing the formation of platinum foreign matter.

[0096] As nitrates, strontium nitrate, barium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, calcium nitrate, etc. can be used. The use of strontium nitrate is more preferable. The particle size of the raw materials can be used as appropriate, from large particles of several hundred μm that do not leave any undissolved residue, to small particles of several μm that do not scatter during raw material transport and do not aggregate as secondary particles. Granulated materials can also be used. The water content of the raw materials can be adjusted as appropriate to prevent scattering of the raw materials. β-OH value, redox degree of Fe (redox [Fe 2+ / ( Fe 2+ +Fe 3+ The dissolution conditions for )) can also be adjusted as appropriate.

[0097] The next clarification step is to remove bubbles from the molten glass obtained in the dissolution step described above. For the clarification step, a defoaming method by reduced pressure may be applied, or defoaming may be performed by raising the temperature above the dissolution temperature of the raw materials. SO3 or SnO2 can also be used as a clarifying agent. As an SO3 source, sulfates of at least one element selected from Al, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba are preferred, and sulfates of alkaline earth metals are more preferred, with CaSO4·2H2O, SrSO4, and BaSO4 being particularly preferred because they have a significant effect in increasing the size of bubbles.

[0098] In the defoaming method by reduced pressure, the use of halogens such as Cl or F is preferred as a clarifying agent. As a Cl source, chlorides of at least one element selected from Al, Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba are preferred, alkaline earth metal chlorides are more preferred, and among these, SrCl2·6H2O and BaCl2·2H2O are even more preferred because they significantly increase foam volume and have low deliquescence. As a F source, fluorides of at least one element selected from Al, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba are preferred, alkaline earth metal fluorides are more preferred, and among these, CaF2 is even more preferred because it significantly increases the solubility of the glass raw material.

[0099] Tin compounds, such as SnO2, generate O2 gas in molten glass. In molten glass, at temperatures of 1450°C or higher, SnO2 is reduced to SnO, generating O2 gas and promoting the growth of large bubbles. During the manufacture of glass plates, the glass raw materials are heated to approximately 1450-1750°C to melt, which allows the bubbles in the molten glass to grow more effectively. When using SnO2 as a clarifying agent, it is preferable to prepare the raw materials so that they contain 0.01% or more of the tin compound in terms of SnO2, relative to 100% of the total amount of the base composition. A SnO2 content of 0.01% or more is preferable because it provides a clarifying effect during the melting of the glass raw materials. A SnO2 content of 0.05% or more is more preferable, and 0.1% or more is even more preferable. A SnO2 content of 0.3% or less is preferable because it suppresses the occurrence of glass discoloration and devitrification. The tin compound content in the glass is more preferably 0.25% or less, even more preferably 0.2% or less, and even more preferably 0.15% or less, based on SnO2 equivalent relative to 100% of the total amount of the glass matrix composition.

[0100] The next molding step is to form the molten glass, from which bubbles have been removed in the clarification step described above, into a plate shape to obtain a glass ribbon. As for the molding step, known methods for forming glass into a plate shape can be applied, such as the float method, in which molten glass is poured onto a molten metal such as tin to form a plate shape and obtain a glass ribbon; the overflow downdraw method (fusion method), in which molten glass is poured downwards from a trough-shaped member; and the slit downdraw method, in which molten glass is poured down through a slit. Among these, the float method or the fusion method are preferred from the viewpoint of no polishing or light polishing.

[0101] Next, the annealing process involves cooling the glass ribbon obtained in the molding process down to room temperature under controlled cooling conditions. The annealing process involves cooling the glass ribbon to form a glass ribbon, and then further annealing it down to room temperature under predetermined conditions. After cutting the annealed glass ribbon, a glass plate is obtained.

[0102] If the cooling rate in the slow cooling process is too high, distortion is likely to remain in the glass after cooling. Also, if the equivalent cooling rate, a parameter that reflects the virtual temperature, becomes too high, the shrinkage of the glass cannot be reduced. For this reason, it is preferable to set R so that the equivalent cooling rate is 800°C / min or less. The equivalent cooling rate is more preferably 600°C / min or less, even more preferably 400°C / min or less, even more preferably 300°C / min or less, especially preferably 200°C / min or less, even more preferably 100°C / min or less, even more preferably 60°C / min or less, and particularly preferably 40°C / min or less. On the other hand, if the cooling rate is too low, the process time becomes too long, resulting in low productivity. For this reason, it is preferable to set it to 0.1°C / min or more, more preferably 0.5°C / min or more, and even more preferably 1°C / min or more. The equivalent cooling rate, a parameter that reflects the virtual temperature, is based on the refractive index for ease of evaluation.

[0103] Here, the definition and evaluation method of the equivalent cooling rate based on the refractive index are as follows: A glass sample is prepared by processing a glass of the target composition into a rectangular parallelepiped measuring 10 mm × 10 mm × 0.3 to 2.0 mm. The glass sample is heated in an infrared electric furnace and held at the strain point + 170°C for 5 minutes, after which the glass sample is cooled to room temperature (25°C). At this time, multiple glass samples are prepared by changing the cooling rate in the range of 1°C / min to 1000°C / min.

[0104] Using a precision refractive index measuring device (e.g., Shimadzu Devices KPR3000), the refractive index n of multiple glass samples at the d-line (wavelength 587.6 nm) is measured. d Measure the n. The V-block method or the minimum angle method may be used for measurement. d By plotting n against the logarithm of the cooling rate, we can see the relationship between the above cooling rate and n d Obtain a calibration curve.

[0105] Next, n of glass of the same composition that was actually manufactured through processes such as melting, molding, and cooling. d The obtained n is measured by the measurement method described above. d The corresponding cooling rate (referred to as the equivalent cooling rate in this embodiment) is determined from the calibration curve described above. In glass samples cooled at a constant rate, the equivalent cooling rate based on tanδ and the equivalent cooling rate based on the refractive index are the same. However, in the case of complex cooling processes, a difference may arise between the equivalent cooling rate based on tanδ and the equivalent cooling rate based on the refractive index.

[0106] The method for manufacturing the glass plate of the present invention is not limited to the above. For example, when manufacturing the glass plate of the present invention, the glass may be formed into a plate by a press molding method in which molten glass is directly formed into a plate.

[0107] Furthermore, when manufacturing the glass plate of the present invention, in addition to the manufacturing method using a melting tank made of refractory material, a crucible made of platinum or an alloy mainly composed of platinum (hereinafter referred to as a platinum crucible) may be used in the melting tank or clarification tank. When a platinum crucible is used, the melting process involves preparing the raw materials to achieve the composition of the glass plate to be obtained, heating the platinum crucible containing the raw materials in an electric furnace, preferably to about 1450 to 1700°C, inserting a platinum stirrer, and stirring for 1 to 3 hours to obtain molten glass.

[0108] In the molding process of glass plate manufacturing using a platinum crucible, molten glass is poured onto, for example, a carbon plate or into a mold to form a plate or block. The annealing process is typically T g After maintaining a temperature of approximately +100°C, the glass plate is cooled at a rate of approximately 1-10°C / min to near the strain point, and then cooled to room temperature at a rate that does not leave any residual strain. After cutting to the predetermined shape and polishing, a glass plate is obtained. Alternatively, the cut glass plate can be processed, for example, T g The glass may be heated to approximately +100°C and then slowly cooled to room temperature at a predetermined rate. This allows for adjustment of the equivalent cooling rate of the glass.

[0109] The circuit board 1 using the glass plate of the present invention as the glass substrate 2 is suitable for high-frequency devices that handle high-frequency signals, particularly high-frequency signals exceeding 30 GHz, and even high-frequency signals with frequencies of 35 GHz or higher. It can reduce the transmission loss of such high-frequency signals and improve characteristics such as the quality and strength of the high-frequency signals. The circuit board 1 using the glass plate of the present invention as the glass substrate 2 is suitable for high-frequency devices (electronic devices) such as semiconductor devices used in communication equipment such as mobile phones, smartphones, personal digital assistants, and Wi-Fi devices, as well as surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, radar components such as radar transceivers, and antenna components such as liquid crystal antennas and panel antennas. In other words, the present invention relates not only to a glass substrate for high-frequency devices containing the glass of the present invention, but also to a panel-type antenna containing the glass of the present invention.

[0110] Furthermore, the glass of the present invention can be suitably applied to other products for the purpose of reducing transmission loss of high-frequency signals. In other words, the present invention also relates to window glass, vehicle window glass, and touch panel cover glass, which include the glass of the present invention. The glass plate containing the glass of the present invention can stably transmit and receive radio waves in the high frequency band and is resistant to damage and breakage, making it suitable for window glass, vehicle windows, and touch panel cover glass. For vehicle windows, for example, windows for autonomous vehicles are more preferable. [Examples]

[0116] (B [3] (B2O3 conversion)) The percentage (mol %) of tri-coordinate boron contained in the glass, converted to B2O3 equivalent, was calculated using the following formula, which is based on the total amount of B2O3 and the relative abundance of tri-coordinate boron and tetra-coordinate boron. B [3] (B2O3 conversion)=[B2O3]×(B [3] / ( B [3] +B [4] ))

[0117] (Average thermal expansion coefficient) Measurements were taken using a differential thermal expander in accordance with the method specified in JIS R3102 (1995). The measurement temperature range was 50 to 350°C, and the unit was ×10⁻⁶. -7 It was expressed as / ℃.

[0126] (Surface devitrification temperature) The glass was crushed and classified using a test sieve to obtain particles in the range of 2-4 mm. The resulting glass cullet was ultrasonically cleaned in isopropyl alcohol for 5 minutes, washed with deionized water, dried, placed in a platinum dish, and heat-treated in an electric furnace controlled to a constant temperature for 17 hours. The heat treatment temperature was set in 10°C increments. After heat treatment, the glass was removed from the platinum dish, and the highest temperature at which crystals precipitated on the glass surface and the lowest temperature at which crystals did not precipitate were observed using an optical microscope. The highest temperature at which crystals precipitate on the glass surface and the lowest temperature at which crystals do not precipitate were each measured once. In cases where it is difficult to determine crystal precipitation, measurements may be taken twice. The average value was calculated using the highest temperature at which crystals precipitated on the glass surface and the lowest temperature at which crystals did not precipitate, and this value was defined as the surface devitrification temperature.

[0127] (Acid resistance, 6%HNO3+5%H2SO4@45℃×170sec) The glass sample was immersed in an acidic aqueous solution (6% by mass HNO3 + 5% by mass H2SO4, 45°C) for 170 seconds, and the amount of glass components eluted per unit surface area (mg / cm³) was measured. 2 The following was evaluated: The amount of glass components eluted was 0.12 mg / cm³. 2 The following conditions indicate good acid resistance.

[0128] (Transmittance after heat treatment) Each glass plate is heated to a temperature T4 (°C), held for 1 minute, and then cooled at a rate of 40°C / min. g The glass was slowly cooled to -150°C. After cooling to room temperature, the parallel light transmittance at a wavelength of 308 nm was measured for the glass that had been mirror-finished on both sides. The parallel light transmittance was measured according to JIS-K-7136 (2000) and was determined by subtracting the diffuse transmittance from the total light transmittance.

[0129] (β-OH) After mirror-polishing both sides of the glass sample to a thickness of 0.7-2.0 mm, FT-IR was used to measure wavenumbers of 4000-2000 cm⁻¹. -1 Transmittance measurements were performed within the specified range. Wavenumber 4000 cm² -1Transmittance in τ1 (%), wavenumber 3700-3500 cm -1 The minimum transmittance was denoted as τ2 (%), and the thickness of the glass sample was denoted as X (mm).
