Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A joining sheet includes a solder layer which contains solder particles, a thermoplastic resin, and an active agent capable of activating the solder particles and a thermosetting resin-containing layer which is laminated on at least one surface in a thickness direction of the solder layer and contains a thermosetting resin.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A joining sheet comprising: a solder layer which contains solder particles, a thermoplastic resin, and an active agent capable of activating the solder particles, but does not substantially contain a thermosetting resin; and a thermosetting resin-containing layer which is laminated on at least one surface in a thickness direction of the solder layer and contains a thermosetting resin. 2. The joining sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the thermosetting resin-containing layer further contains a thermoplastic resin and the content ratio of the thermosetting resin with respect to the thermosetting resin-containing layer is above 10 volume % and below 47.5 volume %. 3. The joining sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the content ratio of the solder particles with respect to the solder layer is above 40 volume % and below 90 volume %. 4. The joining sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the active agent is a carboxylic acid. 5. The joining sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the thermosetting resin contains an epoxy resin. 6. The joining sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the solder particles are made of a tin-bismuth alloy. 7. The joining sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the thermosetting resin-containing layer further contains a curing agent and a curing accelerator. 8. The joining sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the thermosetting resin-containing layer is also laminated on the other surface in the thickness direction of the solder layer. 9. A method for producing an electronic component comprising the steps of: preparing a laminate in which a joining sheet is disposed between two pieces of wired circuit boards arranged so that corresponding terminals thereof are spaced in opposed relation to each other, wherein the joining sheet comprises a solder layer which contains solder particles, a thermoplastic resin, and an active agent capable of activating the solder particles, but does not substantially contain a thermosetting resin, and a thermosetting resin-containing layer which is laminated on at least one surface in a thickness direction of the solder layer and contains a thermosetting resin; and heating the laminate at a temperature that is not less than the melting point of the solder particles. 10. An electronic component obtained by a method for producing an electronic component, wherein the method for producing an electronic component comprises the steps of: preparing a laminate in which a joining sheet is disposed between two pieces of wired circuit boards arranged so that corresponding terminals thereof are spaced in opposed relation to each other, and the joining sheet comprises a solder layer which contains solder particles, a thermoplastic resin, and an active agent capable of activating the solder particles, but does not substantially contain a thermosetting resin, and a thermosetting resin-containing layer which is laminated on at least one surface in a thickness direction of the solder layer and contains a thermosetting resin; and heating the laminate at a temperature that is not less than the melting point of the solder particles.
