Abstract

A multilayer anisotropic conductive adhesive a plurality of adhesive layers that are laminated, each of which contains an insulating resin and a hardening agent. The conductive particles are contained either in a first plurality of adhesive layers or in a second plurality of adhesive layers, and at least the top or bottom adhesive layer has the DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) exothermic peak temperature of 130° C. or more and 180° C. or less. Also, a connection structure is constructed in which a first electronic component having an electrode and an insulating film on the surface thereof and a second electronic component that has an electrode on the surface thereof are electrically connected through the multilayer anisotropic conductive adhesive.

Claims (11)

1. A multilayer anisotropic conductive adhesive, comprising:

a plurality of adhesive layers laminated and including a first adhesive layer and a second adhesive layer,

wherein conductive particles are contained in at least any one of the plurality of adhesive layers, and the DSC exothermic peak temperature of the first adhesive layer is 130° C. or more and 180° C. or less and the DSC exothermic peak temperature of the second adhesive layer is 110° C. or more and 140° C. or less, and the DSC exothermic peak temperature of the second adhesive layer is lower than that of the first adhesive layer by 10° C. or more, and

wherein each of the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer contains epoxy resin as a thermosetting resin, phenoxy resin as a thermoplastic resin, and a hardening agent, and

wherein the first adhesive layer contains spherical inorganic fillers of 70 pts.wt, or more and 170 pts.wt or less, based on a total 100 pts.wt of the thermosetting resin and the thermoplastic resin.

2. A multilayer anisotropic conductive adhesive according to claim 1 ,

wherein both said first and second adhesive layers are 10 μm or more in thickness, and the ratio of the thickness of said first adhesive layer to that of said second adhesive layer is 0.2 or more and 7 or less.

3. A multilayer anisotropic conductive adhesive according to claim 1 ,

wherein said first adhesive layer contains as a hardening agent any of 2-phenyl-4,5-dihydroxymethylimidazole, 2-phenyl-4-methyl-5-hydroxymethylimidazole and 2,4-diamino-6-[2′-methylimidazolyl(1′)]-ethyl-s triazine isocyanuric acid adduct of 5 pts.wt. or more and 15 pts.wt. or less, based on the total 100 pts.wt. of the thermosetting resin and the thermoplastic resin.

4. A multilayer anisotropic conductive adhesive according to claim 1 ,

wherein said second adhesive layer contains a 2-phenylimidazole or latent imidazole hardening agent as a hardening agent.
