Abstract

A method for producing a joined structure involving pressure-bonding a first circuit member and a second circuit member together via a connecting film while the circuit members are being heated, to thereby join the circuit members with each other, wherein the connecting film is defined and includes first and second layers wherein one of the first layer and the second layer is a conductive particle-containing organic resin layer, and the other layer is an insulating organic resin layer containing no conductive particles, and wherein the minimum melt viscosity of the conductive particle-containing organic resin layer is ten times or more greater than the minimum melt viscosity of the insulating organic resin layer.

Claims (13)

1. A method for producing a joined structure, comprising:

pressure-bonding a first circuit member and a second circuit member together via a connecting film while the circuit members are being heated, to thereby join the circuit members with each other,

wherein the connecting film, which electrically connects the first circuit member with the second circuit member having a nitrogen atom-containing film on a surface thereof facing the first circuit member, comprises:

a first layer which is to be located at the first circuit member side, and

a second layer which is to be located at the second circuit member side,

wherein the first layer comprises a cationic curing agent and an epoxy resin, and the second layer comprises a radical curing agent, an acrylic resin and an epoxy compound,

wherein one of the first layer and the second layer is a conductive particle-containing organic resin layer, and the other layer is an insulating organic resin layer containing no conductive particles, and

wherein the minimum melt viscosity of the conductive particle-containing organic resin layer is ten times or more greater than the minimum melt viscosity of the insulating organic resin layer.

2. A method for producing a joined structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first circuit member is a LCD panel, and the second circuit member has a polyimide film as the nitrogen atom-containing film and is an IC chip or a TAB tape,

wherein the pressure-bonding comprises:

temporarily attaching the first layer to the LCD panel;

temporarily arranging the polyimide film to be in contact with the second layer; and

pressure-bonding the first circuit member and the second circuit member together via the connecting film while the circuit members are heated from the side of the second circuit member by heat pressing, to thereby join the circuit members with each other.
