Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There are provided an anodizing method by which straight micropores can be formed and a manufacturing method for an anisotropic conductive member in which a filling defect of a conductive material is suppressed. The anodizing method is a method including subjecting a surface of a valve metal plate to a plurality of times of anodization and forming an anodized film having micropores present in a thickness direction of the valve metal plate and having a barrier layer present in the bottom part of the micropores, on the surface of the valve metal plate. In steps of second and subsequent times of anodization of the plurality of times of anodization, a current increasing period and a current keeping period are continuous. The current increasing period is a period in which a quantity of current increase is more than 0 amperes per square meter per second and 0.2 amperes per square meter per second or less, and which is 10 minutes or less. A current is kept at a constant value during a current keeping period, and the constant value is equal to or less than a maximum current value during the current increasing period.

First claim
