Abstract

A bonding structure and method of manufacturing the same are provided. The bonding structure of a substrate and a component include an electrode formed of metal powder and a resin component on the substrate. A low melting point solder that bonds the component to the electrode. The metal powder contains at least spherical metal powder and flake metal powder. The low melting point solder is infiltrated from the surface of the electrode into the electrode.

Claims (37)

1. A bonding structure of a substrate and a component comprising:

an electrode contains metal powder, polyester resin, and a curing agent that is equal to or less than 2.5 equivalents assuming that the hydroxyl equivalent of the polyester resin is 1 equivalent; and

a low melting point solder that bonds the component to the electrode,

wherein the low melting point solder comprises SnBi alloy and has a melting point equal to or lower than 200° C.,

wherein the metal powder contains at least spherical metal powder and flake metal powder, and the low melting point solder is infiltrated from the surface of the electrode into the electrode by about 5% to 95% of the thickness of the electrode,

wherein the component and the substrate, except for the electrode, are at least partially bonded to each other by resin,

wherein the resin is a thermosetting resin,

wherein the low melting point solder and the thermosetting resin are disposed on at least the electrode as a solder adhesive before heating,

wherein the amount of metal powder in the electrode is about 90% to 97.5% by mass,

wherein due to the heating, the low melting point solder is aggregated on and infiltrated into the electrode, and the thermosetting resin seeps into a portion on the substrate except for the electrode, and

wherein the thermosetting resin is filled between a lower part of the component and the substrate so that the lower part of the component and an upper surface of the substrate are adhered to each other, and a periphery of the component is covered by the thermosetting resin to increase bonding strength.

2. The bonding structure of a substrate and a component according to claim 1 ,

wherein the amount of flake metal powder in the metal powder is about 5% to 99.5% by mass.

3. The bonding structure of a substrate and a component according to claim 1 ,

wherein the average particle diameter of the spherical metal powder is about 3 μm or smaller.

4. The bonding structure of a substrate and a component according to claim 1 ,

wherein the resin component is a thermoplastic resin.

5. The bonding structure of a substrate and a component according to claim 1 ,

wherein the curing agent is an isocyanate compound, and

assuming that hydroxyl equivalent of the thermoplastic resin is 1 equivalent, the equivalent of isocyanate is equal to or less than 2.5 equivalents.

6. The bonding structure of a substrate and a component according to claim 1 ,

wherein a boundary of the low melting point solder in the electrode is irregular.

7. A method of manufacturing a bonding structure of a substrate and a component comprising:

forming on the substrate an electrode containing spherical metal powder, polyester resin, flake metal powder, and a curing agent that is equal to or less than 2.5 equivalents assuming that the hydroxyl equivalent of the polyester resin is 1 equivalent;

applying a solder adhesive containing a low melting point solder and a thermosetting resin at least between the electrode and the component; and

bonding the substrate to the component by the thermosetting resin by performing low-temperature heating such that the low melting point solder is aggregated on the electrode and is infiltrated from the surface of the electrode into the electrode by about 5% to 95% of the thickness of the electrode to bond the electrode to the component by the low melting point solder, and the thermosetting resin seeps into at least a portion on the substrate except for the electrode,

wherein the component and the substrate, except for the electrode, are at least partially bonded to each other by resin,

wherein the resin is a thermosetting resin,

wherein the low melting point solder comprises SnBi alloy and has a melting point equal to or lower than 200° C.,

wherein the low melting point solder and the thermosetting resin are mixed and applied onto at least the electrode as a solder adhesive before heating,

wherein the amount of metal powder in the electrode is about 90% to 97.5% by mass,

wherein due to the heating, the low melting point solder is aggregated on and infiltrated into the electrode, a boundary of the low melting point solder is irregular in the electrode, and the thermosetting resin seeps into a portion on the substrate except for the electrode, and

wherein the thermosetting resin is filled between a lower part of the component and the substrate so that the lower part of the component and an upper surface of the substrate are adhered to each other, and a periphery of the component is covered by the thermosetting resin to increase bonding strength.

8. The method of manufacturing a bonding structure of a substrate and a component according to claim 7 ,

wherein heating temperature is adjusted to a temperature higher than the melting point of the low melting point solder and the curing temperature of the thermosetting resin.

9. The method of manufacturing a bonding structure of a substrate and a component according to claim 7 ,

wherein heating temperature is gradually raised, the thermosetting resin is completely separated from the low melting point solder aggregated on the electrode and runs from above the electrode to around and under the component.
