An object of the present invention is to provide: a resin composition in which the specific resistance after curing is low regardless of the type of a thermosetting resin, and furthermore, the specific resistance after curing does not significantly change depending on the content of a copper powder; and a conductive copper paste including the resin composition. There are provided a resin composition including (A) a copper powder having an oxygen content of 0.3% by mass or less, (B) a thermosetting resin, (C) a fatty acid, and (D) an amine or an amine compound, as well as a conductive copper paste containing the resin composition. The (A) component has an average particle size of preferably 1 to 10 &#x3bc;m.

Resin composition, conductive copper paste, and semiconductor device

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a conductive copper paste which is curable in an ambient atmosphere, has a long pot life, and, has a low specific resistance even under a high-temperature and short-time curing condition, wherein the specific resistance after curing does not greatly vary depending on a copper powder content. The conductive copper paste provided is characterized by containing (A) a copper powder, (B) a thermosetting resin, (C) a fatty acid that is liquid at normal temperature, and (D) triethanolamine. Preferably, component (B) is a resol-type phenol resin. More preferably, the content of component (B) is 10 to 20 parts by mass with respect to a total of 100 parts by mass of component (A) and component (B).

Conductive copper paste, conductive copper paste cured film, and semiconductor device

An object of the present invention is to provide a resin composition suitable for copper pastes, which can be cured in an ambient atmosphere and has a viscosity within an appropriate range and a low specific resistance after curing. This resin composition includes (A) a copper powder, (B) a thermosetting resin, (C) a fatty acid, (D) an amine, and (E) 4-aminosalicylic acid. Preferably, the (B) component is resol-type phenolic resin.

Resin composition, copper paste, and semiconductor device

A method for producing a metal particle which includes the steps of: mixing a metal salt and a polycarboxylic acid in a liquid phase; adding a reducing agent to the resultant mixture to deposit metal particles; and drying the deposited metal particles.

Method for producing a metal particle

A metal particle which is a non-nucleated, spherical porous material having continuous open pores, and which is formed from dendritic crystals which have grown uniformly outward from the center without requiring a nucleating agent. The metal particle is unlikely to suffer bonding or aggregation of the metal particles and exhibits excellent dispersibility. When the metal particle is used in a conductive composition, such as a conductive paste, a cured product having satisfactory conduction properties can be obtained at a relatively low temperature, making it possible to easily control the specific gravity or resistance.
