Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of electronic packaging materials, and particularly relates to a liquid molding compound capable of eliminating flow marks as well as a method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a liquid molding compound (LMC) packaging process, flow mark defects not only affect the appearance of a product, but also seriously damage the mechanical strength, electrical reliability and long-term service performance of an electronic device.

[0003] At present, two typical flow mark problems, i.e., edge white flow marks and center jet flow marks, are mainly faced in an electronic packaging process. The edge white flow marks are strip-shaped gray marks distributed along the edges of a chip or a frame, and are commonly seen at the end of flow or in a structure mutation area. The core cause of the edge white flow marks lies in the phase separation of fillers and resin induced by high shear force in a hot pressing process, i.e., a low-viscosity resin phase preferentially flows along a wall surface, and filler particles lag behind and deposit due to frictional resistance, thereby forming a local filler-rich area. Such defects will cause a hard and brittle interface to be formed between the filler-rich area and a matrix, and microcracks will be induced in subsequent thermal cycles due to the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients, and finally, the encapsulation material and the chip will be delaminated, which seriously threatens the reliability of a device. The center jet flow marks are radial lines radiating from a glue dropping area, and the root cause of the center jet flow marks lies in the high-speed jetting of a low-viscosity melt under high pressure, thereby forming unsteady flow. Such turbulence causes the viscosity distribution inside the material to be uneven, and part of the melt is non-uniformly filled to the far end of a cavity in a jetting manner, instead of ideal laminar flow expansion. Such flow marks directly weaken the mechanical integrity, moisture-proof sealing and heat resistance of a plastic encapsulation material, and at the same time, the production yield is reduced due to the obvious surface defects, and the process fluctuation and maintenance cost are also increased.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a liquid molding compound capable of eliminating flow marks to improve the comprehensive performance and production yield of a packaged device is a technical problem that those skilled in the art need to solve urgently. SUMMARY

[0022] The present application provides a liquid molding material for eliminating flow marks, which comprises the following components in mass percentage: 85%-90% of silica, 4%-8% of epoxy resin, 5%-8% of acid anhydride curing agent, 0.2%-0.5% of organic pre-gel microparticles, 0.2%-0.3% of catalyst, and 0.1%-0.2% of carbon black; the maximum particle size of the silica is less than 75 μm, and the particle size distribution of the silica is: 1.4 μm≤D10≤1.6 μm, 12 μm≤D50≤18 μm, and 40 μm≤D90≤50 μm; the epoxy resin comprises at least one of bisphenol A type epoxy resin, naphthalene type epoxy resin and alicyclic epoxy resin; and the catalyst is composed of latent microencapsulated imidazole and accelerant.

[0023] Specifically, the application provides a liquid molding material for eliminating flow marks, which comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 85-90% of silica, 4-8% of epoxy resin, 5-8% of acid anhydride curing agent, 0.2-0.5% of organic pre-gel microparticles, 0.2-0.3% of catalyst, and 0.1-0.2% of carbon black; wherein the maximum particle size of the silica is less than 75 microns, and the particle size distribution of the silica is 1.4 microns ≤ D10 ≤ 1.6 microns, 12 microns ≤ D50 ≤ 18 microns, and 40 microns ≤ D90 ≤ 50 microns; the flowability of the liquid molding material during extrusion diffusion and the shrinkage rate of the liquid molding material during encapsulation curing are adjusted by controlling the particle size distribution of the silica; the catalyst composed of latent microencapsulated imidazole and an accelerator can significantly reduce the initial curing temperature, and the residence time of the liquid molding material at the lowest viscosity point when heated is reduced and the lowest rheological viscosity during the heating and curing process of the liquid molding material is improved by the latent microencapsulated imidazole, thereby improving the flow marks caused by the high pressure outward ejection of the liquid molding material during the encapsulation and hot pressing process; the pre-gel property of the organic pre-gel microparticles is used to increase the rheological viscosity by microparticle swelling when the liquid molding material is not completely cured, to prevent the glue liquid from collapsing during encapsulation and curing, and then to improve the flow marks caused by high pressure in the low viscosity stage of the liquid molding material.

[0052] The formulation proportions provided by the above Examples 1-8 and Comparative Examples 1-7 are prepared into liquid molding compounds according to the following experimental steps: (1) The raw materials are weighed according to the formulation proportions of the respective examples and comparative examples, and are added to a stirring cup and mixed uniformly using a centrifugal mixer, with a revolution of 2100 r / min and a rotation of 1200 r / min, and a stirring time of 180 s; (2) The uniformly mixed slurry is added to a three-roll mill for dispersion treatment, to obtain uniformly dispersed slurry, wherein the feed gap of the three-roll mill is 200 μm and the discharge gap is 90 μm; (3) The uniformly dispersed slurry is vacuum degassed by a centrifugal mixer, to obtain a liquid molding compound, wherein the revolution of the centrifugal mixer is 1500 r / min, the rotation is 150 r / min, and the stirring time is 60 s.

[0053] The liquid molding compounds prepared according to the above Examples 1-8 and Comparative Examples 1-7 are tested, with the specific testing process as follows: 1. Viscosity test: measured using a digital rotary viscometer at 25°C; 2. Warpage Test Method: 150g of liquid molding compound is extruded onto a 12-inch silicon wafer (300μm thick), covered with a release film, and placed on a carrier plate of a vacuum vulcanizing machine at 125℃. The carrier plate is controlled to close the film, a vacuum is drawn, and hot pressing is performed at 3000kN pressure with a pressing height of 300μm. After holding the pressure for 10 minutes, the sample is removed and placed in a 150℃ vacuum drying oven for curing for 1 hour. After cooling, the height of warpage between the liquid epoxy molding compound and one end of the silicon wafer is measured, which is the material warpage value. (See attached diagram) Figure 2 As shown; 3. Flow Mark Test Method: 150g of liquid molding compound is extruded onto a 12-inch glass slide (1000μm thick), covered with a release film, and placed on a vacuum vulcanizing machine carrier plate at 125℃. The carrier plate is closed with the film, a vacuum is drawn, and hot-pressed at 3000kN pressure with a pressing height of 300μm. After holding the pressure for 10 minutes, the sample is removed. The pressed sample is then ultrasonically scanned using SAT (Scanning Acoustic Tomography) to observe whether there are central jet-like flow marks and discolored flow marks at the edges on the scanned surface. (See attached image.) Figure 3 As shown.

[0054] The test results are shown in Table 2 below: Table 2 Test Results It should be further noted that the liquid molding compound provided by this invention will be extruded using an instrument in the encapsulation process. The normal operating requirements of the instrument are as follows: the viscosity of the liquid molding compound is less than 800 Pa·s; stringing will occur when the viscosity is between 800-1200 Pa·s; and an extrusion pressure alarm will be triggered when the viscosity is greater than 1200 Pa·s.

[0055] As can be seen from the table above, the formulation ratio of Example 3 is within the range defined by this invention, and the liquid molding compound prepared there are no flow marks or defects visually observed under strong light after curing. Figure 4 ) and no flow marks were found after SAT ultrasound scanning. Figure 5 In contrast, the silica with particle size distribution 3 used in Comparative Example 1 exhibited edge flow mark defects during the vacuum hot pressing process when preparing liquid molding compound (e.g., ...). Figure 6 As shown), this will affect the reliability of the packaged device; Comparative Example 3 uses a single catalyst (2E4MZ) to prepare liquid molding compound, which shows central flow mark defects during vacuum hot pressing (e.g., Figure 7 (As shown). Furthermore, in Comparative Example 7, an excessive amount of organic pregel microparticles was added. Although it exhibited low warpage and no flow marks after curing, its viscosity exceeded the instrument's operating range, easily triggering extrusion pressure alarms and consequently affecting the instrument's normal operation. Therefore, it is evident that the liquid molding compound prepared using the formulation ratio provided by this invention has a viscosity at room temperature that meets the requirements for normal instrument operation, and exhibits no flow marks after curing.
