Abstract

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a laminate in which, when an adhesive sheet is laminated on a wiring board having bumps provided on a surface thereof and the resulting laminate is heat-treated, the bumps will tend not to deform. This method for manufacturing a laminate includes: (a) a step for preparing a wiring board provided with bumps on at least one surface; and (b) a step for laminating, on the surface of the wiring board provided with the bumps, an adhesive sheet provided with a carrier, a peeling layer, and an adhesive layer containing an adhesive material in the stated order. The step of laminating the adhesive sheet on the wiring board includes: (b1) bringing the bumps of the wiring board and the adhesive layer of the adhesive sheet into contact with each other at a vacuum pressure of 3.0 hPa or less to perform first-stage vacuum lamination, and forming a laminate in which the bumps are embedded in the adhesive layer; and (b2) performing second-stage vacuum lamination on the laminate at the vacuum pressure and at a temperature higher than that in the first-stage vacuum lamination.

Abstract

A joined body in which a first joining target (11) and a second joining target (13) are joined with a joining layer interposed therebetween is produced. A paste that contains copper particles and an organic solvent is applied to the first joining target (11) to form a coating film (12X). The second joining target (13) is placed on the coating film (12X) to form a stack (15). The stack (15) is heated and pressed to sinter the copper particles contained in the coating film (12X) to form a joining layer. The heating is performed incrementally from a heating start temperature to a highest temperature Tm, and the pressing is performed incrementally from a pressing start pressure to a highest pressure Pm, and control is performed in such a manner that a pressing pressure is 15 MPa or less when a heating temperature reaches 200° C.

Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a method for producing (regenerating) an adsorbing material or recovering a target substance by adsorbing the target substance to the adsorbing material and then performing a desorption treatment on the target substance, the method being capable of desorbing a sufficient amount of the target substance without using aqua regia in the desorption treatment, and being capable of preventing a decrease in the adsorption performance of the adsorbing material after the desorption treatment. To solve the problem, provided is a method for producing an adsorbing material or a method for recovering a target substance, the method comprising: (1) a step for preparing a second adsorbing material obtained by performing a contact treatment with a target substance-containing liquid on a first adsorbing material which has a co-continuous structure formed by macropores and a ceramic skeleton having mesopores and in which the surface of the ceramic skeleton is modified with a functional group capable of adsorbing a target substance; and (2) a step for obtaining a third adsorbing material or a target substance by performing a contact treatment with an acidic solution excluding aqua regia on the second adsorbing material to desorb the target substance from the second adsorbing material.

Abstract

Provided is a method for manufacturing a redistribution stack with which warpage can be reduced. This method for manufacturing a redistribution stack comprises: a step for obtaining a first stack by forming a first redistribution layer having a thickness of 100 μm or less on a first metal layer of a first-carrier-attached metal foil that has a first carrier, a first peeling layer, and the first metal layer in this order; a step for preparing a second stack having a second redistribution layer or a dummy insulating layer having a thickness of 100 μm or less on the second carrier; and a step for obtaining a third stack by bonding the first carrier of the first stack and the second carrier of the second stack via an adhesive layer containing an adhesive material.
