Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed are an insulating material (high-k layer) which includes a fiber assembly mainly composed of a cellulose nanofiber, and an electroconductive metal material supported by the fiber assembly; and a passive element (capacitor) which includes a high-k layer which is composed of the insulating material, and an electroconductive part stacked on the high-k layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An insulating material comprising a fiber assembly mainly composed of a cellulose nanofiber, and an electroconductive metal material supported by the fiber assembly, wherein the electroconductive metal material is fibrous, and the fibrous electroconductive metal material, supported by 100 g of cellulose nanofiber, has a total length of 1×10^7 m or longer and 5×10^8 m or shorter. 2. The insulating material according to claim 1 , wherein the electroconductive metal material is a fibrous material. 3. The insulating material according to claim 1 , represented by a product of dielectric constant (∈) and electrical resistivity (Ω·cm) of 1×10 11 or larger. 4. The insulating material according to claim 1 , represented by dielectric loss tangent (tan δ) and dielectric constant (∈) which satisfy the relational expression below: (Mathematical Formula 1) [Dielectric loss tangent(tan δ)/Dielectric constant(∈)]×100≦2.0  (Formula 1) 5. The insulating material according to claim 1 , wherein the electroconductive metal material is a silver-based fibrous material, and the content of the silver-based fibrous material is 20 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the cellulose nanofiber. 6. The insulating material according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the cellulose nanofiber is 90% by mass or more per 100% by mass of the fiber assembly. 7. The insulating material according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the cellulose nanofiber is 95% by mass or more per 100% by mass of the fiber assembly. 8. The insulating material according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the cellulose nanofiber is 99% by mass or more per 100% by mass of the fiber assembly. 9. The insulating material according to claim 1 , wherein the electroconductive metal material is a fibrous material, and the fibrous material is composed of any one metal material selected from the group consisting of silver, metal materials composed of silver and other metals, copper, and metal materials composed of copper and other metals excluding silver. 10. The insulating material according to claim 1 , wherein the electroconductive metal material is a fibrous material, and the fibrous material has an aspect ratio of 200 or smaller. 11. The insulating material according to claim 1 , wherein the electroconductive metal material is a fibrous material, and the fibrous material has an aspect ratio of 100 or smaller. 12. A passive element comprising: a high-k layer which is composed of the insulating material described in claim 1 ; and an electroconductive part which is stacked on the high-k layer. 13. The passive element according to claim 12 , wherein the passive element is a capacitor, in which the electroconductive part has a first electrode provided on one surface of the high-k layer, and a second electrode provided on the other surface, the first electrode and the second electrode being opposed to configure an electrode pair. 14. The passive element according to claim 13 , wherein a plurality of electrode pairs are provided in the plane of the high-k layer. 15. A circuit board comprising: a passive element which has a high-k layer composed of the insulating material descried in claim 1 , and an electroconductive part which is stacked on the high-k layer; and interconnect boards which are opposed while placing the passive element in between. 16. The circuit board according to claim 15 , wherein the passive element is a capacitor, in which the electroconductive part has a first electrode provided on one surface of the high-k layer, and a second electrode provided on the other surface, the first electrode and the second electrode being opposed to configure an electrode pair. 17. A method of manufacturing an insulating sheet which is mainly composed of a cellulose nanofiber, the method comprising: filtering a suspension which contains a fiber material mainly composed of the cellulose nanofiber and an electroconductive metal material, to thereby form a filter sheet which contains the fiber material and the electroconductive metal material; and drying the filter sheet, wherein the electroconductive metal material is fibrous, and the fibrous electroconductive metal material, supported by 100 g of cellulose nanofiber, has a total length of 1×10^7 m or longer and 5×10^8 m or shorter. 18. The method of manufacturing an insulating sheet according to claim 17 , further comprising: pressing the filter sheet concurrently with the step of drying.
