Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a reinforcing film. Background Technology

[0002] Adhesive films are used to reinforce members of various shapes. For example, adhesive films have been reported as reinforcing films that remain attached to the surface of the device even during use, in addition to being used during assembly, processing, and transportation of the device (e.g., Patent Document 1). In addition to surface protection, such adhesive films have the function of reinforcing the device by dispersing impact to the device or imparting rigidity to the flexible device.

[0003] For example, when bonding an integrated circuit (IC) or a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) to a substrate of a semiconductor device (e.g., a TFT substrate, etc.), thermal compression is typically performed using an anisotropic conductive film (ACF). When performing such thermal compression, there are cases where an adhesive film is bonded to the other side of the semiconductor device substrate in advance to provide reinforcement (e.g., Patent Document 2).

[0004] In addition, as a method for manufacturing so-called flexible devices, such as foldable or rollable devices currently under development, a release layer and a flexible film substrate are generally formed on a support substrate such as glass, a TFT substrate is formed on the film substrate, and an organic EL layer is formed thereon. Then, the support substrate is released to manufacture the flexible device, but since the flexible display layer is very thin, problems may occur in the device due to handling, etc. For this reason, there are cases where an adhesive film is bonded to this side to reinforce it (e.g., Patent Document 3).

[0005] Semiconductor substrates or flexible devices are subjected to repeated bending. If the bending characteristics of the adhesive film bonded to the substrate are poor, recovery after bending deteriorates, or in the worst case, the device may break due to repeated bending. Specifically, when an adhesive film is bonded to a bending section (e.g., a movable bending section of a folding member), if the film bends at an angle, compressive stress acts on the inner diameter side of the bend and tensile stress acts on the outer diameter side. Since stress deformation occurs in the bending section and its surroundings, there is a problem in that the semiconductor substrate or flexible device may break.

[0006] As a means of solving the above-mentioned problem, a method is conceived to alleviate the above-mentioned stress deformation by making the adhesive included in the adhesive film flexible.

[0007] Storage modulus G' is known as an indicator of the flexibility of an adhesive, and a technique for designing an adhesive such that the change rate of elasticity (G'(-20) / G'(40))×100, based on the storage modulus G'(-20) at -20°C and the storage modulus G'(40) at 40°C, is within a predetermined range (Patent Document 4), or a technique for designing an adhesive such that the change rate of storage modulus, which is the value obtained by dividing the storage modulus G'(-20) at -20°C by the storage modulus G'(85) at 85°C, is within a predetermined range (Patent Document 5).

[0008] In the examples of Patent Document 4, an adhesive obtained from 100 parts by weight of a (meth)acrylic acid ester polymer (A) with a composition of BA / 2EHA / AA / 2HPA = 47.8 / 47.8 / 4 / 0.4 (by weight) and 0.9 parts by weight of a crosslinking agent (B) (Example 1), an adhesive obtained from 100 parts by weight of a (meth)acrylic acid ester polymer (A) with a composition of BA / 4HBA = 99 / 1 (by weight) and 0.15 parts by weight of a crosslinking agent (B) (Example 2), and an adhesive obtained from 100 parts by weight of a (meth)acrylic acid ester polymer (A) with a composition of BA / 2EHA / HEA = 47 / 48 / 5 (by weight) and 0.9 parts by weight of a crosslinking agent (B) (Example 3) are reported.

[0009] In the examples of Patent Document 5, adhesives obtained from 100 parts by weight of a (meth)acrylic acid ester polymer (A) with a composition of BA / 2EHA / 4HBA=54 / 45 / 1 (by weight) and 0.15 to 0.35 parts by weight of a crosslinking agent (B) (Example 1 to 10), adhesives obtained from 100 parts by weight of a (meth)acrylic acid ester polymer (A) with a composition of BA / 2EHA / 4HBA=52 / 45 / 3 (by weight) and 0.25 parts by weight of a crosslinking agent (B) (Example 11), and adhesives obtained from 100 parts by weight of a (meth)acrylic acid ester polymer (A) with a composition of BA / 2EHA / 4HBA=50 / 45 / 5 (by weight) and 0.25 parts by weight of a crosslinking agent (B) (Example 12) are reported.

[0010] However, making the adhesive flexible and reducing its elasticity generally increases the creep value. Consequently, adhesive tapes using conventional low-elasticity adhesives have a problem in that the fluidity of the adhesive increases due to heat, causing the adhesive to deform significantly—for example, during bump compression of an integrated circuit (IC). This leads to deformation of the semiconductor device substrate and subsequent connection failures. Prior art literature

The method for measuring the storage modulus G' at 180°C will be explained in detail later.

[0047] ≪1-1. Recording Layer≫

[0048] The thickness of the substrate layer is preferably 1 μm to 500 μm, more preferably 5 μm to 300 μm, even more preferably 10 μm to 100 μm, particularly preferably 15 μm to 80 μm, and most preferably 20 μm to 60 μm. If the thickness of the substrate layer is within the above range, the effects of the present invention can be further expressed.

[0049] As for the material of the substrate layer, any suitable material may be adopted within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention. Representative examples of such a substrate layer material include resin materials.

[0050] Examples of resin materials used as the material for the substrate layer include, for instance, acrylic resins such as polyimide (PI), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate, triacetylcellulose (TAC), polysulfone, polyarylate, polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), ethylene-propylene copolymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), polyamide (nylon), fully aromatic polyamide (aramid), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinyl acetate, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), fluorinated resin, and cyclic olefin polymer. The resin material used as the material for the substrate layer may be of only one type or two or more types.

[0051] The tensile modulus of the substrate layer, measured by a peel test at 200 mm / min at 25°C, is preferably 1.0 GPa to 10 GPa, more preferably 2.0 GPa to 9.0 GPa, even more preferably 3.0 GPa to 8.0 GPa, and particularly preferably 4.0 GPa to 7.0 GPa. The tensile modulus measured by a peel test at 200 mm / min at 25°C is an indicator that can appropriately evaluate the compatibility of heat resistance and flexibility of the substrate layer, and by adjusting the tensile modulus measured by a peel test at 200 mm / min at 25°C to within the specific range above, the reinforcing film according to an embodiment of the present invention can achieve excellent low elasticity and excellent heat resistance. If the tensile modulus obtained by the peel test at 200 mm / min at 25°C falls outside the aforementioned specific range, there is a concern that the reinforcing film according to the embodiment of the present invention may find it difficult to achieve both excellent low elasticity and excellent heat resistance. The method for measuring the tensile modulus obtained by the peel test at 200 mm / min at 25°C will be explained in detail later.

[0052] As for resin materials for a substrate layer that can adjust the tensile modulus of elasticity by a peel test at 200 mm / min at 25°C as described above to within the preferred range, examples include polyimide (PI) and annealed polyethylene terephthalate (annealed PET).

[0053] ≪1-2. Adhesive Layer≫

[0054] The adhesive layer consists of an acrylic adhesive. The acrylic adhesive is formed from an acrylic adhesive composition.

[0055] The thickness of the adhesive layer is preferably 1 μm to 250 μm, more preferably 2 μm to 150 μm, even more preferably 3 μm to 100 μm, particularly preferably 5 μm to 50 μm, and most preferably 10 μm to 35 μm. If the thickness of the adhesive layer is within the above range, the effects of the present invention can be further expressed.

[0056] Acrylic adhesives can be defined as being formed from an acrylic adhesive composition. This is because, since acrylic adhesives are formed when an acrylic adhesive composition undergoes cross-linking reactions such as heating or ultraviolet irradiation, it is impossible to directly identify the acrylic adhesive by its structure, and furthermore, there exists a situation where such identification is generally impractical ("impossible / impractical situation"). Therefore, acrylic adhesives are validly identified as a "substance" by the definition of being "formed from an acrylic adhesive composition."

[0057] As a method for forming an acrylic adhesive, any suitable method may be employed within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention. Examples of such a method for forming an acrylic adhesive include applying an acrylic adhesive composition onto any suitable substrate, performing heating or drying as necessary, and curing as necessary to form an acrylic adhesive in the form of a sheet on said substrate.

[0058] Any suitable means may be employed as a means of applying the acrylic adhesive composition, provided that the effects of the present invention are not impaired. Examples of such means of application include roll coating, gravure roll coating, reverse roll coating, kiss roll coating, dip roll coating, bar coating, roll brush coating, spray coating, knife coating, air knife coating, comma coating, direct coating, and die coating.

[0059] Any suitable means may be employed for heating or drying the acrylic adhesive composition within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention. Examples of such means for heating and drying include heating to 60°C to 180°C or performing an aging treatment at a temperature of room temperature.

[0060] Any suitable means may be employed for curing the acrylic adhesive composition within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention. Examples of such means for curing include ultraviolet irradiation, laser irradiation, alpha ray irradiation, beta ray irradiation, gamma ray irradiation, X-ray irradiation, and electron ray irradiation.

[0061] Representative methods for forming an acrylic adhesive from an acrylic adhesive composition include a method of forming a photocurable acrylic adhesive by a photocuring reaction of a photocurable acrylic adhesive composition containing an acrylic polymer (typically an acrylic partial polymer) adjusted by polymerization using a photopolymerization initiator (typically partial polymerization), and a method of forming a thermosetting acrylic adhesive by a crosslinking reaction of a thermosetting acrylic adhesive composition containing an acrylic polymer adjusted by solution polymerization using a thermal polymerization initiator. That is, as acrylic adhesives, examples include a photocurable acrylic adhesive formed by the photocuring reaction of a photocurable acrylic adhesive composition comprising an acrylic polymer (typically an acrylic partial polymer) (P1) adjusted by polymerization using a photopolymerization initiator (typically partial polymerization), and a thermosetting acrylic adhesive formed by the crosslinking reaction of a thermosetting acrylic adhesive composition comprising an acrylic polymer (P2) adjusted by solution polymerization using a thermal polymerization initiator.

[0062] <1-2-1. Acrylic Polymer (P1)>

[0063] One embodiment of the acrylic polymer is an acrylic polymer (P1) prepared by polymerization using a photopolymerization initiator (typically, partial polymerization). As for the method of polymerization using a photopolymerization initiator, any suitable method may be adopted within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention, such as, for example, conventionally known methods. In polymerization using a photopolymerization initiator, typically, light such as UV is irradiated.

[0064] The acrylic polymer (P1) is preferably an acrylic partial polymer (sometimes referred to as an acrylic prepolymer). Unlike a complete polymer of monomer components (preferably a polymer with a polymerization conversion rate of more than 95 weight%), the acrylic partial polymer is a partial polymer obtained by preferably reducing the polymerization conversion rate of monomer components to 95 weight% or less.

[0065] The polymerization conversion rate of the acrylic partial polymer is preferably 70% by weight or less, more preferably 60% by weight or less, even more preferably 50% by weight or less, particularly preferably 40% by weight or less, and most preferably 35% by weight or less. The lower limit of the polymerization conversion rate of the acrylic partial polymer is preferably 1% by weight or more, and more preferably 5% by weight or more.

[0066] The acrylic polymer (P1) is obtained by polymerizing the monomer component (M1). The monomer component (M1) referred to herein does not include the crosslinking agent described below that may be included in the acrylic adhesive composition. When obtaining the acrylic polymer (P1) by polymerization, any suitable additive may be used in addition to the monomer component (M1) and the photopolymerization initiator, provided that it does not impair the effects of the present invention.

[0067] The acrylic polymer (P1) can be defined as being obtained by polymerizing the monomer component (M1) in this manner. This is because the acrylic polymer (P1) is formed when the monomer component (M1) undergoes a polymerization reaction, and since there is a situation ("impossibility / unrealistic situation") where it is impossible and generally impractical to directly identify the acrylic polymer (P1) by its structure, the acrylic polymer (P1) is validly identified as a "substance" by the definition of being "obtained by polymerizing the monomer component (M1)."

[0068] The acrylic polymer (P1) has a Tg that is preferably -80°C to -15°C, more preferably -70°C to -25°C, even more preferably -65°C to -30°C, and particularly preferably -60°C to -35°C, in order to further express the effects of the present invention. By adjusting the Tg of the acrylic polymer (P1) to within the specific ranges above, the reinforcing film according to the embodiment of the present invention can further achieve excellent low elasticity.

[0069] The Tg of an acrylic polymer (P1) refers to a value obtained from Fox's formula based on the Tg of the homopolymer of each monomer constituting the acrylic polymer (P1) and the weight fraction (copolymerization ratio based on weight) of the corresponding monomer. Fox's formula is a relationship between the Tg of a copolymer and the glass transition temperature Tgi of a homopolymer formed by homopolymerizing each of the monomers constituting the copolymer, as described below.

[0070] 1 / Tg=Σ(Wi / Tgi)

[0071] In the above Fox formula, Tg represents the glass transition temperature of the copolymer (unit: K), Wi represents the weight fraction of monomer i in the copolymer (copolymerization ratio based on weight), and Tgi represents the glass transition temperature of the homopolymer of monomer i (unit: K). As for the Tg of the homopolymer, the value described in known materials shall be adopted.

[0072] As the Tg of the homopolymer, for example, specifically the following values ​​can be used.

[0073] n-Butyl Acrylate (BA): -55℃

[0074] Lauryl Acrylate (LA): -23℃

[0075] 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate (2EHA): -70℃

[0076] 2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate (2HEA): -15℃

[0077] 4-Hydroxybutyl acrylate (2HBA): -40℃

[0078] N-Vinyl-2-Pyrrolidone (NVP): 80℃

[0079] For homopolymer Tg values ​​other than those exemplified above, values ​​listed in the “Polymer Handbook” (3rd edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1989) may be used. If multiple values ​​are listed in the “Polymer Handbook,” the conventional value shall be adopted. For monomers not listed in the “Polymer Handbook,” the catalog value from the monomer manufacturer shall be adopted. For the Tg of a homopolymer of a monomer not listed in the “Polymer Handbook” and for which a catalog value from the monomer manufacturer is not provided, the value obtained by the measurement method described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2007-51271 shall be used.

[0081] [1-2-1-1. Alkyl (meth)acrylate (a1)]

[0082] The alkyl group of the ester portion of the alkyl (meth)acrylate (a1) (hereinafter referred to as the “alkyl group of the ester portion”) does not include alkyl groups containing hydroxyl groups or alkyl groups containing polar groups other than hydroxyl groups. Therefore, the alkyl (meth)acrylate (a1) is clearly distinguished from the polar group-containing monomer (b1).

By employing an alkyl (meth)acrylate (a1) that can be included in the monomer component (M1), wherein the glass transition temperature Tg of its homopolymer (homopolymer) is within the above range, the adhesiveness or low elasticity of the acrylic polymer (P1) can be appropriately adjusted, and the effects of the present invention can be further expressed.

Furthermore, if multiple values ​​are described in the “Polymer Handbook,” a conventional value is adopted. For alkyl (meth)acrylates not described in the “Polymer Handbook,” a catalog value from a monomer manufacturer is adopted. For a homopolymer of an alkyl (meth)acrylate not described in the “Polymer Handbook” and for which a catalog value from a monomer manufacturer is not provided, the value obtained by the measurement method described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2007-51271 is used.

By employing a hydroxyl group-containing monomer (b1-1) that can be included in the monomer component (M1), wherein the glass transition temperature Tg of its homopolymer (homopolymer) is within the above range, the adhesive properties or low elasticity of the acrylic polymer (P1) can be appropriately adjusted, and the effects of the present invention can be further expressed.

[0107] Regarding the glass transition temperature Tg of a homopolymer of a hydroxyl group-containing monomer (b1-1), the description of the glass transition temperature Tg of a homopolymer of an alkyl (meth)acrylate (a1) that may be included in the monomer component (M1) in [1-2-1-1.

[0142] <1-2-2. Acrylic Polymer (P2)>

[0143] One embodiment of the acrylic polymer is an acrylic polymer (P2) prepared by solution polymerization using a thermal polymerization initiator. As for the method of polymerization using a thermal polymerization initiator, any suitable method may be adopted within a range that does not impair the effects of the present invention, such as, for example, a conventionally known method.

[0144] The acrylic polymer (P2) is obtained by polymerizing the monomer component (M2). The monomer component (M2) referred to herein does not include the crosslinking agent described below that may be included in the acrylic adhesive composition. When obtaining the acrylic polymer (P2) by polymerization, any suitable additive may be used in addition to the monomer component (M2) and the thermal polymerization initiator, provided that it does not impair the effects of the present invention.

[0145] The acrylic polymer (P2) can be defined as being obtained by polymerizing the monomer component (M2) in this manner. This is because the acrylic polymer (P2) is formed when the monomer component (M2) undergoes a polymerization reaction, and since there is a situation ("impossibility / unrealistic situation") where it is impossible and generally impractical to directly identify the acrylic polymer (P2) by its structure, the acrylic polymer (P2) is validly identified as a "substance" by the definition of being "obtained by polymerizing the monomer component (M2)."

[0146] The acrylic polymer (P2) has a Tg that is preferably -85°C to -30°C, more preferably -80°C to -40°C, even more preferably -75°C to -50°C, and particularly preferably -70°C to -60°C, in order to further express the effects of the present invention. By adjusting the Tg of the acrylic polymer (P2) to within the specific ranges above, the reinforcing film according to the embodiment of the present invention can further achieve excellent low elasticity.
