Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to resin sheets with supports. It further relates to cured resin sheet layers of the resin sheet with supports, printed wiring boards, and semiconductor devices. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the demand for small, high-performance electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets has increased. Consequently, the insulating materials (insulating layers) used in semiconductor packaging in these small electronic devices also require further enhancement in functionality. Such insulating layers are known to include insulating layers formed by curing resin compositions (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
[0003] In recent years, the trend towards thinner and smaller electronic devices has led to a demand for insulating layers with lower dielectric loss tangents. However, when materials with lower dielectric loss tangents are used, the seal is compromised, curing stress tends to accumulate, and the halo effect that occurs after through-holes becomes more pronounced.
[0004] The halo effect refers to the peeling phenomenon that occurs between the insulating layer and the inner substrate around a via. This halo effect typically occurs when the resin around the via deteriorates, and this deteriorated portion is eroded during the roughening process. It should be noted that the aforementioned deteriorated portion is usually observed as a discolored area.

[0189] <(H) organic solvent>
[0190] In addition to the aforementioned non-volatile components, the first resin composition and the second resin composition sometimes further contain an optional organic solvent as a volatile component. As the (H) organic solvent, any known organic solvent capable of dissolving at least a portion of the non-volatile component can be used, and its type is not particularly limited. Examples of (H) organic solvents include, for example, ketone solvents such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and cyclohexanone; ester solvents such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, methyl propionate, ethyl propionate, and γ-butyrolactone; ether solvents such as tetrahydropyran, tetrahydrofuran, 1,4-dioxane, diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, dibutyl ether, and diphenyl ether; alcohol solvents such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, and ethylene glycol; and 2-ethoxyethyl acetate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, and diethylene glycol ethyl ether acetate.

(H) Organic solvents can be used alone or in combination of two or more in any ratio.
[0191] <Method for manufacturing resin composition>

Furthermore, during the addition and mixing of the components, the temperature can be appropriately set, and heating and / or cooling can be performed temporarily or continuously. Additionally, during or after the addition and mixing, the resin composition can be stirred or agitated using a stirring or shaking device, such as a mixer, to ensure uniform dispersion. Furthermore, degassing can be performed under low-pressure conditions such as vacuum while stirring or agitating.
[0193] <Support Body>
[0194] Examples of supports for resin sheets with supports include films made of plastic materials, metal foils, and release paper, with films and metal foils made of plastic materials being more preferred.
[0195] When a film formed of a plastic material is used as a support, examples of plastic materials include, for example, polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as "PET") and polyethylene naphthalate (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as "PEN"), acrylic polymers such as polycarbonate (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as "PC") and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), cyclic polyolefins, triacetyl cellulose (TAC), polyether sulfide (PES), polyether ketone, and polyimide. Among these, polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate are preferred, and inexpensive polyethylene terephthalate is particularly preferred.
[0196] When using metal foil as a support, examples of metal foil include copper foil and aluminum foil, with copper foil being preferred. Copper foil can be used as the support, either as a single metal such as copper or as an alloy of copper with other metals (e.g., tin, chromium, silver, magnesium, nickel, zirconium, silicon, titanium, etc.).
[0197] The surface of the support body that is bonded to the resin sheet layer can be treated with matte finish, corona treatment, and antistatic treatment.
[0198] Furthermore, as a support, a support with a release layer can be used on the surface bonded to the resin sheet layer. Examples of release agents used in the release layer of the support with a release layer include, for example, one or more release agents selected from alkyd resins, polyolefin resins, polyurethane resins, and silicone resins. Commercially available products can be used as the support with a release layer, such as PET films having a release layer with an alkyd resin-based release agent as the main component, namely, Lintec's "SK-1", "AL-5", and "AL-7", Toray's "Lumirror T60", Teijin's "Purex", and UNITIKA's "Unipeel".
[0199] The thickness of the support is not particularly limited, but is preferably in the range of 5μm to 75μm, more preferably in the range of 10μm to 60μm. It should be noted that when using a support with a release layer, the overall thickness of the support with the release layer is preferably within the above range.
[0200] A protective film can be further included on the surface of the resin sheet layer that is not bonded to the support. The protective film helps prevent the adhesion of dust, etc., or scratches on the surface of the resin sheet layer. The same material as described in the <Support> section can be used as the material for the protective film. The thickness of the protective film is not particularly limited, for example, from 1 μm to 40 μm. When manufacturing printed wiring boards, etc., the resin sheet with the support can be used by peeling off the protective film. The thickness of the protective film is preferably thinner than the thickness of the support.
[0201] <Method for manufacturing resin sheets with supports>
[0202] A suitable embodiment of the method for manufacturing a resin sheet with a support is as follows: a first resin sheet having a first resin composition layer disposed on a first support and a second resin sheet having a second resin composition layer disposed on a second support are laminated in such a manner that the second resin composition layer is bonded to the first resin composition layer to form a resin sheet with a support. In this method, the second support is removed before the first support, thereby the first support becomes the support described above in the resin sheet with a support.
[0203] The first resin sheet and the second resin sheet can be manufactured, for example, by preparing a resin varnish by directly dissolving the first resin composition and the second resin composition in a liquid state or by dissolving the first resin composition and the second resin composition in an organic solvent, applying them respectively onto a first support and a second support using a die coater or the like, and then drying them to form a first resin composition layer or a second resin composition layer. Examples of organic solvents include those described as components of the resin composition. One organic solvent can be used alone, or two or more can be used in combination.
[0204] The drying of the resin composition can be carried out by known methods such as heating or blowing hot air. The drying conditions are not particularly limited, but drying is carried out such that the content of organic solvent in the first resin composition layer and the second resin composition layer is 10% by mass or less, preferably 5% by mass or less. The drying method also varies depending on the boiling point of the organic solvent in the resin composition. For example, when using a resin composition containing 30% to 60% by mass of organic solvent, the first resin composition layer and the second resin composition layer can be formed by drying at 50°C to 150°C for 3 to 10 minutes.
[0205] As another embodiment, the resin sheet with the support can also be manufactured by the following method: coating a first resin composition onto the support and drying the coating to form a first resin composition layer, and then coating a second resin composition onto the first resin composition layer and drying the coating to form a second resin composition layer.
[0206] In this method, the first resin composition layer can be prepared by directly dissolving the liquid first resin composition or dissolving it in the same organic solvent as described above to prepare a resin varnish, applying it to a support using a die coater or the like, and then drying the resin composition. Furthermore, the second resin composition layer can be prepared by directly dissolving the liquid second resin composition or dissolving it in the same organic solvent as described above to prepare a resin varnish, applying it to the first resin composition layer using a die coater or the like, and then drying the resin composition. The resin composition can be dried using the same methods described above.
[0207] In addition to the manufacturing methods described above, resin sheets with supports can also be formed by a series coating method in which two resin compositions (resin varnishes) are sequentially coated on a coating production line.
[0208] Resin sheets with supports can be rolled up for storage. When resin sheets with supports have a protective film, they can be used by peeling off the protective film.
[0209] <Characteristics of Resin Sheets with Supports>
[0210] By curing the resin sheet layer of the resin sheet material with the support of the present invention, an insulating layer formed from the cured resin sheet layer can be obtained. When through-holes are formed in this insulating layer and a roughening treatment is performed, halo phenomena can be suppressed. Hereinafter, these effects will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0211] Figure 2 This is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating both an insulating layer 100 and an inner substrate 200 obtained by curing a resin sheet layer with a support, according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The cross-section of the insulating layer 100 is shown by cutting it through the center 120C of the bottom 120 of the through hole 110 and parallel to the thickness direction of the insulating layer 100.
[0212] like Figure 2As shown, the insulating layer 100 is a layer obtained by curing a resin sheet layer formed on the inner layer substrate 200 containing the conductor layer 210. Starting from the conductor layer 210 side, it sequentially comprises a second cured layer 20' formed by thermally curing a second resin composition layer 20 and a first cured layer 10' formed by thermally curing a first resin composition layer 10. Furthermore, a through-hole 110 is formed on the insulating layer 100. The through-hole 110 is typically formed in a forward-tapered shape, with a larger diameter closer to the surface 100U of the insulating layer 100 opposite to the conductor layer 210 and a smaller diameter closer to the conductor layer 210. Ideally, it is formed as a column with a constant diameter in the thickness direction of the insulating layer 100. The through-hole 110 is typically formed by irradiating the surface 100U of the insulating layer 100 opposite to the conductor layer 210 with a laser to remove a portion of the insulating layer 100.
[0213] The bottom of the via 110 on the conductor layer 210 side is suitably referred to as the "via bottom" and denoted by the symbol 120. The diameter of the via bottom 120 is then referred to as the via bottom diameter Lb. Furthermore, the opening of the via 110 formed on the opposite side of the conductor layer 210 is suitably referred to as the "via top" and denoted by the symbol 130. The diameter of the via top 130 is then referred to as the via top diameter Lt. Typically, the planar shape of the via bottom 120 and via top 130, as viewed from the thickness direction of the insulating layer 100, is circular, but it can also be elliptical. When the planar shape of the via bottom 120 and via top 130 is elliptical, the via bottom diameter Lb and via top diameter Lt respectively represent the major axis of the aforementioned ellipse.
[0214] At this point, the closer the taper (tap ratio) Lb / Lt obtained by dividing the bottom diameter Lb of the through hole by the top diameter Lt of the through hole is to 100%, the better the shape of the through hole 110.
[0215] The taper Lb / Lt of the through-hole 110 can be calculated from the bottom diameter Lb and the top diameter Lt of the through-hole 110. Furthermore, the bottom diameter Lb and the top diameter Lt of the through-hole 110 can be determined by cutting the insulating layer 100 using a FIB (Focused Ion Beam) to create a cross-section parallel to the thickness direction of the insulating layer 100 and passing through the center 120C of the bottom 120 of the through-hole, and then observing this cross-section using an electron microscope.
[0216] Figure 3 This schematically illustrates an embodiment of the invention involving an insulating layer 100 obtained by curing a resin sheet layer with a support and a conductor layer 210. Figure 3 (Not shown in the figure) is a top view of the opposite side surface 100U.
[0217] like Figure 3 As shown, when observing the insulating layer 100 with the through-hole 110, a discolored portion 140 is sometimes observed around the through-hole 110, extending from the edge 180 of the top 130 of the through-hole to the outer periphery edge 190 of the discolored portion 140, where the insulating layer 100 changes color. This discolored portion 140 may be formed due to resin degradation during the formation of the through-hole 110, and therefore is usually formed continuously from the through-hole 110. Furthermore, in most cases, the discolored portion 140 becomes a whitened portion.
[0218] Figure 4 This is a schematic cross-sectional view showing both the roughened insulating layer 100 and the inner substrate 200 obtained by curing a resin sheet layer with a support, according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 The diagram shows a cross-section of the insulating layer 100 cut off by a plane that passes through the center 120C of the bottom 120 of the through hole 110 and is parallel to the thickness direction of the insulating layer 100.
[0219] like Figure 4 As shown, if the insulating layer 100 with through hole 110 is roughened, a halo effect is produced, the insulating layer 100 of the discolored portion 140 is peeled off from the conductor layer 210, and sometimes a continuous gap portion 160 is formed from the edge 150 of the bottom 120 of the through hole.
[0220] By using the resin sheet layer of the present invention, the aforementioned halo phenomenon can be suppressed. Therefore, the peeling of the insulating layer 100 from the conductor layer 210 can be suppressed, thereby reducing the size of the gap 160.
[0221] The edge 150 of the bottom 120 of the through hole corresponds to the inner peripheral edge of the gap 160. Therefore, the distance Wb from the edge 150 of the bottom 120 of the through hole to the end of the outer peripheral side of the gap 160 (i.e., the end on the side away from the center 120C of the bottom 120 of the through hole) is equivalent to the in-plane dimension of the gap 160. Here, the in-plane direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the insulating layer 100. Furthermore, in the following description, the aforementioned distance Wb is sometimes referred to as the halo distance Wb from the edge 150 of the bottom 120 of the through hole 110. The degree of suppression of the halo phenomenon can be evaluated by this halo distance Wb from the edge 150 of the bottom 120 of the through hole. Specifically, the smaller the halo distance Wb from the edge 150 of the bottom 120 of the through hole, the more effectively the halo phenomenon can be suppressed.
[0222] For example, an insulating layer 100 is obtained by heating a resin sheet layer formed on a copper foil at 100°C for 30 minutes and then at 180°C for 30 minutes to cure it. The insulating layer 100 is then irradiated with a CO2 laser to form a through-hole 110 with a top diameter Lt of approximately 40 μm. The through-hole is then immersed in a swelling solution at 60°C for 10 minutes, followed by immersion in an oxidizing agent solution at 80°C for 20 minutes, then immersion in a neutralizing solution at 40°C for 5 minutes, and finally dried at 80°C for 15 minutes. If the resin sheet with a support of the present invention is used, the halo distance Wb of the insulating layer 100 thus obtained from the edge 150 of the through-hole bottom 120 of the through-hole 110 is preferably 10 μm or less, more preferably 8 μm or less, further preferably 5.5 μm or less, and particularly preferably 5 μm or less.
[0223] The aforementioned CO2 laser irradiation conditions were set as follows: mask diameter 1 mm, pulse width 16 μs, energy 0.2 mJ / emission, emission number 2, burst mode (10 kHz).
[0224] The halo distance Wb from the edge 150 of the bottom 120 of the via can be determined by cutting the insulating layer 100 using FIB (Focused Ion Beam) to present a cross section parallel to the thickness direction of the insulating layer 100 and passing through the center 120C of the bottom 120 of the via, and then observing the cross section with an electron microscope.
[0225] Furthermore, by using a resin sheet layer, the shape of the through-hole 110 in the insulating layer 100 before roughening treatment can be easily controlled. Therefore, even in the insulating layer 100 after roughening treatment, the shape of the through-hole 110 can usually be easily controlled. Thus, even after roughening treatment, the shape of the through-hole 110 can be made as good as before roughening treatment.
[0226] The taper Lb / Lt of the roughened via 110 can be calculated from the bottom diameter Lb and top diameter Lt of the via 110. Furthermore, the bottom diameter Lb and top diameter Lt of the via 110 can be determined by cutting the insulating layer 100 using a FIB (Focused Ion Beam) to create a cross-section parallel to the thickness direction of the insulating layer 100 and passing through the center 120C of the bottom 120 of the via, and then observing this cross-section using an electron microscope.
[0227] Furthermore, according to the inventors' research, it has been shown that the larger the diameter of the through-hole, the larger the size of the gap 160 tends to be. Therefore, the degree of suppression of the halo phenomenon can be evaluated based on the ratio of the size of the gap 160 to the diameter of the through-hole 110. For example, it can be evaluated by the halo ratio Hb relative to the bottom radius Lb / 2 of the through-hole 110. Here, the bottom radius Lb / 2 of the through-hole 110 refers to the radius of the bottom 120 of the through-hole 110. In addition, the halo ratio Hb relative to the bottom radius Lb / 2 of the through-hole 110 is the ratio obtained by dividing the halo distance Wb from the edge 150 of the bottom 120 of the through-hole by the bottom radius Lb / 2 of the through-hole 110. The smaller the halo ratio Hb relative to the bottom radius Lb / 2 of the through-hole 110, the more effectively the halo phenomenon can be suppressed.
[0228] For example, a resin sheet layer formed on a copper foil is heated at 100°C for 30 minutes, followed by heating at 180°C for 30 minutes. The cured insulating layer 100 is then irradiated with a CO2 laser to form a through-hole 110 with a top diameter Lt of approximately 40 μm. Next, it is immersed in a swelling solution at 60°C for 10 minutes, followed by immersion in an oxidizing agent solution at 80°C for 20 minutes, then immersion in a neutralizing solution at 40°C for 5 minutes, and finally dried at 80°C for 15 minutes. The halo ratio Hb relative to the bottom radius Lb / 2 of the through-hole 110 formed on the insulating layer 100 thus obtained can preferably be 35% or less, more preferably 30% or less, and even more preferably 25% or less.
[0229] The aforementioned CO2 laser irradiation conditions were set as follows: mask diameter 1 mm, pulse width 16 μs, energy 0.2 mJ / emission, emission number 2, burst mode (10 kHz).
[0230] The halo ratio Hb relative to the bottom radius Lb / 2 of the through hole 110 can be calculated from the bottom diameter Lb of the through hole 110 and the halo distance Wb from the edge 150 of the bottom 120 of the through hole 110.
[0231] Furthermore, typically, by using the resin sheet layer of the present invention, the formation of the discolored portion 140 during the formation of the through-hole 110 can be suppressed. Therefore, as Figure 3 As shown, the size of the color-changing part 140 can be reduced, ideally to the point that the color-changing part 140 is non-existent. The size of the color-changing part 140 can be evaluated by the halo distance Wt from the edge 180 of the top 130 of the through hole 110.
[0232] The edge 180 of the top 130 of the through hole corresponds to the inner peripheral edge of the discoloration portion 140. The halo distance Wt from the edge 180 of the top 130 of the through hole represents the distance from the edge 180 of the top 130 of the through hole to the outer peripheral edge 190 of the discoloration portion 140. The smaller the halo distance Wt from the edge 180 of the top 130 of the through hole, the more effectively the formation of the discoloration portion 140 can be suppressed.
[0233] For example, a resin sheet layer formed on a copper foil is heated at 100°C for 30 minutes, followed by heating at 180°C for 30 minutes. The cured insulating layer 100 is then irradiated with a CO2 laser to form a through-hole 110 with a top diameter Lt of approximately 40 μm. Next, it is immersed in a swelling solution at 60°C for 10 minutes, followed by immersion in an oxidizing agent solution at 80°C for 20 minutes, then immersion in a neutralizing solution at 40°C for 5 minutes, and finally dried at 80°C for 15 minutes. The halo distance Wt of the insulating layer 100 thus obtained, starting from the edge 180 of the through-hole top 130, is preferably 15 μm or less, more preferably 10 μm or less, and even more preferably 8 μm or less.
[0234] The aforementioned CO2 laser irradiation conditions were set as follows: mask diameter 1 mm, pulse width 16 μs, energy 0.2 mJ / emission, emission number 2, burst mode (10 kHz).
[0235] The halo distance Wt from the edge 180 at the top 130 of the through hole can be determined by observation using an optical microscope.
[0236] Furthermore, according to the inventors' research, it has been shown that the larger the diameter of the through-hole 110, the larger the size of the discoloration portion 140 tends to be. Therefore, the degree of suppression of the formation of the discoloration portion 140 can be evaluated based on the ratio of the size of the discoloration portion 140 to the diameter of the through-hole 110. For example, it can be evaluated by the halo ratio Ht relative to the top radius Lt / 2 of the through-hole 110. Here, the top radius Lt / 2 of the through-hole 110 refers to the radius of the top 130 of the through-hole 110. In addition, the halo ratio Ht relative to the top radius Lt / 2 of the through-hole 110 refers to the ratio obtained by dividing the halo distance Wt from the edge 180 of the top 130 of the through-hole by the top radius Lt / 2 of the through-hole 110. The smaller the halo ratio Ht relative to the top radius Lt / 2 of the through-hole 110, the more effectively the formation of the discoloration portion 140 can be suppressed.
[0237] For example, a resin sheet layer formed on a copper foil is heated at 100°C for 30 minutes, followed by heating at 180°C for 30 minutes. The cured insulating layer 100 is then irradiated with a CO2 laser to form a through-hole 110 with a top diameter Lt of approximately 40 μm. Next, it is immersed in a swelling solution at 60°C for 10 minutes, followed by immersion in an oxidizing agent solution at 80°C for 20 minutes, then immersion in a neutralizing solution at 40°C for 5 minutes, and finally dried at 80°C for 15 minutes. The halo ratio Ht relative to the top radius Lt / 2 of the through-hole 110 formed on the thus-obtained insulating layer 100 can preferably be 35% or less, more preferably 30% or less, and even more preferably 28% or less.
[0238] The aforementioned CO2 laser irradiation conditions were set as follows: mask diameter 1 mm, pulse width 16 μs, energy 0.2 mJ / emission, emission number 2, burst mode (10 kHz).
[0239] The halo ratio Ht relative to the top radius Lt / 2 of the through hole 110 can be calculated from the top diameter Lt of the through hole 110 and the halo distance Wt from the edge 180 of the top 130 of the through hole 110.
[0240] During the manufacturing process of a printed circuit board (PCB), the via 110 is typically formed on the side 100U of the insulating layer 100 opposite to the conductor layer 210 without any other conductor layer (not shown). Therefore, if the PCB manufacturing process is known, the structure with a via bottom 120 on the conductor layer 210 side and a via top 130 opening on the side opposite to the conductor layer 210 can be clearly identified. However, in the finished PCB, conductor layers are sometimes provided on both sides of the insulating layer 100. In this case, it may be difficult to distinguish the via bottom 120 from the via top 130 based on their positional relationship with the conductor layers. However, the via top diameter Lt of the via top 130 is typically larger than or equal to the via bottom diameter Lb of the via bottom 120. Therefore, in the aforementioned case, the via bottom 120 from the via top 130 can be distinguished based on their diameters.
[0241] By using the resin sheet with a support of the present invention, in addition to suppressing the halo phenomenon, the dielectric loss tangent d of the entire cured layer (insulating layer) can also be reduced. all The inhibition level is relatively low.
[0242] For example, the dielectric loss tangent d of the entire cured layer (insulating layer) formed by the first cured layer and the second cured layer. allWhen the thickness of the first resin composition layer is set as t1 (μm), the thickness of the second resin composition layer is set as t2 (μm), the dielectric loss tangent of the first cured layer formed by curing the first resin composition layer at 190°C for 90 minutes (measurement frequency 5.8 GHz, measurement temperature 23°C) is set as d1, and the dielectric loss tangent of the second cured layer formed by curing the second resin composition layer at 190°C for 90 minutes (measurement frequency 5.8 GHz, measurement temperature 23°C) is set as d2, it can be calculated by the following formula (5).
[0243] d all =d1×t1 / (t1+t2)+d2×t2 / (t1+t2)···(5).

[0246] The resin sheet with a support of the present invention can be suitably used as a resin sheet with a support for forming an insulating layer for forming a conductor layer (including a redistribution layer) formed on the insulating layer.
[0247] Furthermore, in the multilayer printed wiring board described later, a resin sheet with a support for forming an insulating layer of the multilayer printed wiring board and a resin sheet with a support for forming an interlayer insulating layer of the printed wiring board can be suitably used.
[0248] Furthermore, for example, when manufacturing a semiconductor chip package via steps (1) to (6) below, the resin sheet with a support of the present invention can also be suitably used as a resin sheet with a support for forming a redistribution layer (as an insulating layer for forming the redistribution layer) and as a resin sheet with a support for sealing a semiconductor chip. During the manufacturing of the semiconductor chip package, a redistribution layer can also be further formed on the sealing layer;

[0250] (2) The step of temporarily fixing the semiconductor chip onto the temporary fixing film.
[0251] (3) The step of forming a sealing layer on a semiconductor chip.
[0252] (4) The step of peeling the substrate and temporary fixing film from the semiconductor chip.
[0253] (5) The step of forming a rewiring layer as an insulating layer on the surface of the semiconductor chip where the substrate and temporary fixing film have been stripped, and
[0254] (6) The step of forming a redistribution layer as a conductor layer on the redistribution forming layer.
[0255] Furthermore, the resin sheet layer in the resin sheet with support of the present invention provides an insulating layer with good component embedding, and can therefore be suitably used in cases where the printed wiring board is a circuit board with components built in.
[0256] [cured material]
[0257] The cured product of the present invention is a cured product formed by curing a resin sheet layer in a resin sheet with a support of the present invention. Therefore, the cured product of the present invention has a first cured layer formed from a cured product of a first resin composition, and a second cured layer formed on the first cured layer from a cured product of a second resin composition different from the first resin composition; the thickness of the first cured layer is set to t. 1' (μm), set the thickness of the second curing layer to t. 2' When the elastic modulus of the first cured layer (measurement temperature 23℃) is set as y1 (GPa), the elastic modulus of the second cured layer (measurement temperature 23℃) is set as y2 (GPa), the dielectric loss tangent of the first cured layer (measurement frequency 5.8GHz, measurement temperature 23℃) is set as d1, and the dielectric loss tangent of the second cured layer (measurement frequency 5.8GHz, measurement temperature 23℃) is set as d2, all conditions of the following equations (1'), (2) and (3) are satisfied.

Therefore, t 1' / t 2' The range is the same as the range of t1 / t2.
[0262] Printed wiring board
[0263] The printed wiring board of the present invention includes an insulating layer (an insulating layer formed by curing) formed from a resin sheet layer of a resin sheet with a support body of the present invention.
[0264] Printed wiring boards can be manufactured, for example, using the aforementioned resin sheet with a support, by a method including the steps (I) and (II) below:
[0265] (I) A step of laminating a second resin composition layer with a support sheet onto an inner substrate.
[0266] (II) The step of heat curing the resin sheet layer to form an insulating layer.
[0267] The term "inner layer substrate" used in step (I) refers to a component that serves as the substrate of a printed wiring board, such as a glass epoxy substrate, a metal substrate, a polyester substrate, a polyimide substrate, a BT resin substrate, or a thermosetting polyphenylene ether substrate. Furthermore, this substrate may have a conductor layer on one or both sides, and this conductor layer may be patterned. An inner layer substrate with a conductor layer (circuit) formed on one or both sides of the substrate is sometimes called an "inner layer circuit substrate." Additionally, intermediate components used to further form insulating layers and / or conductor layers during the manufacture of the printed wiring board are also included in the "inner layer substrate" as used in this invention. When the printed wiring board is a component-integrated circuit board, an inner layer substrate with integrated components can be used.
[0268] The lamination of the inner substrate and the resin sheet with the support can be performed, for example, by heating and pressing a second resin composition layer of the resin sheet layer onto the inner substrate from the support side. Examples of components for heating and pressing the resin sheet with the support onto the inner substrate (hereinafter also referred to as a "heat-pressing component") include, for example, a heated metal plate (SUS end plate, etc.) or a metal roller (SUS roller). It should be noted that the heat-pressing component is not directly pressed onto the resin sheet with the support; rather, it is preferable to press it using an elastic material such as heat-resistant rubber so that the resin sheet with the support fully follows the surface irregularities of the inner substrate.
[0269] The lamination of the inner substrate and the resin sheet with the support can be performed by vacuum lamination. In vacuum lamination, the heating and pressing temperature is preferably in the range of 60°C to 160°C, more preferably 80°C to 140°C; the heating and pressing pressure is preferably in the range of 0.098 MPa to 1.77 MPa, more preferably 0.29 MPa to 1.47 MPa; and the heating and pressing time is preferably in the range of 20 seconds to 400 seconds, more preferably 30 seconds to 300 seconds. Lamination is preferably performed under reduced pressure conditions of 26.7 hPa or less.
[0270] Lamination can be performed using commercially available vacuum laminators. Examples of commercially available vacuum laminators include, for instance, the vacuum pressure laminator manufactured by Meiki Seisakusho, the vacuum dressing device manufactured by Nikko-Materials, and the intermittent vacuum pressure laminator.
[0271] After lamination, the heated pressing member is pressed under normal pressure (atmospheric pressure), for example from the support side, thereby smoothing the laminated resin sheet with the support. The pressing conditions for smoothing can be set to the same conditions as the heated pressing conditions for lamination described above. Smoothing can be performed using a commercially available laminating machine. It should be noted that lamination and smoothing can be performed continuously using the aforementioned commercially available vacuum laminating machine.
[0272] The support can be removed between steps (I) and (II), or after step (II).
[0273] In step (II), the resin sheet layer is thermocured to form an insulating layer. The thermocuring conditions for the resin sheet layer are not particularly limited, and conditions typically used when forming insulating layers for printed wiring boards can be used.
[0274] For example, the thermosetting conditions of the resin sheet layer vary depending on the type of the first resin composition and the second resin composition, but the curing temperature is preferably 120°C to 240°C, more preferably 150°C to 220°C, and even more preferably 170°C to 210°C. The curing time can be preferably set to 5 minutes to 120 minutes, more preferably 10 minutes to 100 minutes, and even more preferably 15 minutes to 100 minutes.
[0275] Before heat curing the resin sheet layer, the resin sheet layer can be preheated at a temperature lower than the curing temperature. For example, before heat curing the resin sheet layer, the resin sheet layer can be preheated for 5 minutes or more (preferably 5 minutes to 150 minutes, more preferably 15 minutes to 120 minutes, and even more preferably 15 minutes to 100 minutes) at a temperature of 50°C or higher and lower than 120°C (preferably 60°C or higher and lower than 115°C, more preferably 70°C or higher and lower than 110°C).
[0276] In manufacturing a printed wiring board, steps (III) of creating holes in the insulating layer, (IV) of roughening the insulating layer, and (V) of forming a conductor layer may be further performed. These steps (III) to (V) can be performed according to various methods known to those skilled in the art in the manufacture of the printed wiring board. It should be noted that when the support is removed after step (II), the removal of the support can be performed between steps (II) and (III), between steps (III) and (IV), or between steps (IV) and (V). Furthermore, the formation of the insulating layer and conductor layer in steps (II) to (V) can be repeated as needed to form a multilayer wiring board.
[0277] Step (III) is the step of creating holes in the insulating layer, thereby forming vias, through-holes, and other holes in the insulating layer. Step (III) can be carried out using, for example, a drill bit, a laser, or plasma, depending on the composition of the first and second resin compositions used in the formation of the insulating layer. The size and shape of the holes can be appropriately determined according to the design of the printed circuit board.
[0278] Step (IV) is a roughening treatment of the insulating layer. Typically, smear removal is also performed in this step (IV). The roughening treatment steps and conditions are not particularly limited, and known steps and conditions commonly used in forming the insulating layer of a printed wiring board can be employed. For example, the insulating layer can be roughened sequentially by a swelling treatment using a swelling solution, a roughening treatment using an oxidizing agent, and a neutralization treatment using a neutralizing solution. The swelling solution used in the roughening treatment is not particularly limited; examples include alkaline solutions and surfactant solutions, with an alkaline solution being preferred, and sodium hydroxide solution or potassium hydroxide solution being more preferred. Commercially available swelling solutions include, for example, "Swelling Dip Securiganth P" and "Swelling Dip Securiganth SBU" manufactured by ATOTECH JAPAN. The swelling treatment using the swelling solution is not particularly limited; for example, it can be performed by immersing the insulating layer in a swelling solution at 30°C to 90°C for 1 to 20 minutes. From the viewpoint of suppressing the swelling of the resin in the insulating layer to a moderate level, it is preferable to immerse the insulating layer in a swelling solution at 40°C to 80°C for 5 to 15 minutes. The oxidant used in the roughening treatment is not particularly limited, and examples include, for instance, an alkaline permanganate solution obtained by dissolving potassium permanganate or sodium permanganate in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. Roughening treatment using an oxidant such as an alkaline permanganate solution is preferably performed by immersing the insulating layer in an oxidant solution heated to 60°C to 100°C for 10 to 30 minutes. Furthermore, the concentration of permanganate in the alkaline permanganate solution is preferably 5% to 10% by mass. Commercially available oxidants include, for example, alkaline permanganate solutions such as "Concentrate Compact CP" and "Dosing Solution Securiganth P" manufactured by Ammet Japan Co., Ltd. Furthermore, the neutralizing solution used in the roughening treatment is preferably an acidic aqueous solution, and commercially available products include, for example, "Reduction Solution Securiganth P" manufactured by Ammet Japan Co., Ltd. The treatment using the neutralizing solution can be performed by immersing the roughened surface treated with an oxidant in a neutralizing solution at 30°C to 80°C for 1 minute to 30 minutes. From the viewpoint of operability, it is preferable to immerse the roughened object treated with an oxidant in a neutralizing solution at 40°C to 70°C for 5 minutes to 20 minutes.
[0279] In one embodiment, the arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) of the surface of the roughened insulating layer is preferably 120 nm or less, more preferably 110 nm or less, and even more preferably 100 nm or less. The lower limit is not particularly limited, but is preferably 30 nm or more, more preferably 40 nm or more, and even more preferably 50 nm or more. The arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) of the insulating layer surface can be measured using a non-contact surface roughness meter.
[0280] Step (V) is the step of forming a conductor layer, which is formed on the insulating layer. The conductor material used in the conductor layer is not particularly limited. In a preferred embodiment, the conductor layer comprises one or more metals selected from gold, platinum, palladium, silver, copper, aluminum, cobalt, chromium, zinc, nickel, titanium, tungsten, iron, tin, and indium. The conductor layer can be a single metal layer or an alloy layer. Examples of alloy layers include layers formed from alloys of two or more metals selected from the above (e.g., nickel-chromium alloys, copper-nickel alloys, and copper-titanium alloys). From the viewpoints of versatility, cost, and ease of patterning in conductor layer formation, a single metal layer of chromium, nickel, titanium, aluminum, zinc, gold, palladium, silver, or copper, or an alloy layer of nickel-chromium, copper-nickel, or copper-titanium alloys, is preferred. More preferably, a single metal layer of chromium, nickel, titanium, aluminum, zinc, gold, palladium, silver, or copper, or an alloy layer of nickel-chromium alloys, is even more preferred. A single metal layer of copper is even more preferred.
[0281] The conductor layer can be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure obtained by stacking two or more single-metal or alloy layers of different kinds of metals or alloys. When the conductor layer is a multi-layer structure, the layer in contact with the insulating layer is preferably a single-metal layer of chromium, zinc, or titanium, or an alloy layer of nickel-chromium alloy.
[0282] The thickness of the conductor layer depends on the desired printed wiring board design, typically 3μm to 35μm, preferably 5μm to 30μm.
[0283] In one embodiment, the conductor layer can be formed by plating. For example, the surface of the insulating layer can be plated using conventionally known techniques such as semi-additive or fully additive methods to form a conductor layer with the desired wiring pattern. From the viewpoint of ease of manufacturing, it is preferable to form the conductor layer using the semi-additive method. Hereinafter, examples of forming the conductor layer using the semi-additive method are shown.
[0284] First, a plating seed layer is formed on the surface of the insulating layer by electroless plating. Next, a mask pattern is formed on the formed plating seed layer, exposing a portion of the seed layer to correspond to the desired wiring pattern. After forming a metal layer on the exposed seed layer by electrolytic plating, the mask pattern is removed. Then, the unwanted portion of the seed layer is removed by etching or the like, thus forming a conductor layer with the desired wiring pattern.
[0285] [Semiconductor Devices]
[0286] The semiconductor device of the present invention includes the printed wiring board of the present invention. The semiconductor device of the present invention can be manufactured using the printed wiring board of the present invention.
[0287] Examples of semiconductor devices include various semiconductor devices used in electrical products (e.g., computers, mobile phones, digital cameras, and televisions) and vehicles (e.g., motorcycles, automobiles, trams, ships, and airplanes).
[0288] The semiconductor device of the present invention can be manufactured by mounting a component (semiconductor chip) on a conductive portion of a printed wiring board. A "conductive portion" refers to a portion that transmits electrical signals in the printed wiring board, and its location can be on the surface or embedded. Furthermore, the semiconductor chip is not particularly limited to any circuit element made of semiconductor material.
[0289] There are no particular limitations on the mounting method of semiconductor chips during the manufacture of semiconductor devices, as long as the semiconductor chip can effectively perform its function. Specific examples include wire bonding mounting method, flip chip mounting method, mounting method using a built-in bumpless layer (BBUL), mounting method using anisotropic conductive film (ACF), and mounting method using non-conductive film (NCF). Here, "mounting method using a built-in bumpless layer (BBUL)" refers to "a mounting method in which the semiconductor chip is directly embedded into a recess in a printed circuit board, thereby connecting the semiconductor chip to the wiring on the printed circuit board."

[0355] <Experimental Example 1: Evaluation of Halo Suppression>
[0356] (1) Copper-clad laminate
[0357] As a copper-clad laminate, a glass cloth substrate epoxy resin double-sided copper-clad laminate with copper foil layers on both sides is prepared (copper foil thickness 3μm, substrate thickness 0.15mm, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Co., Ltd. "HL832NSF LCA", size 255×340mm).
[0358] (2) Lamination of resin sheets
[0359] The protective film was peeled from the resin sheets with supports prepared in the examples and comparative examples, and laminated onto both sides of the copper clad laminate using an intermittent vacuum pressure laminator (Nikko-Materials, 2-stage build-up laminator, CVP700), with the resin composition layer adjoining the copper clad laminate. The lamination was performed by depressurizing the pressure to below 13 hPa for 30 seconds, followed by pressing at 130°C and 0.74 MPa for 45 seconds. Then, hot pressing was performed at 120°C and 0.5 MPa for 75 seconds.
[0360] (3) Thermosetting of the resin composition layer
[0361] A copper-clad laminate containing resin sheets is placed in an oven at 100°C for 30 minutes, then transferred to an oven at 180°C for 30 minutes for thermosetting to form an insulating layer. The PET is then removed from the mold. This is used as the cured substrate A.
[0362] (4) CO2 laser through-hole processing
[0363] Using a CO2 laser processing machine (Mitsubishi Electric Corporation "605GTWIII(-P)"), laser light was irradiated through a metal-coated film onto an insulating layer to form multiple vias with a top diameter of approximately 40 μm on the insulating layer. The laser irradiation conditions were: mask diameter 1 mm, pulse width 16 μs, energy 0.2 mJ / emission, emission number 2, burst mode (10 kHz).
[0364] (5) Roughening treatment
[0365] The through-hole processing substrate with laser-formed vias on the insulating layer is subjected to a desmearing process as a roughening treatment. It should be noted that the following wet desmearing process is performed as the desmearing treatment.
[0366] Wet stain removal treatment:
[0367] The substrate was immersed in a swelling solution (Swelling Dip Securiganth P manufactured by Ammet Japan, an aqueous solution of diethylene glycol monobutyl ether and sodium hydroxide) at 60°C for 10 minutes, followed by immersion in an oxidizing agent solution (Concentrate Compact CP manufactured by Ammet Japan, an aqueous solution of approximately 6% potassium permanganate and approximately 4% sodium hydroxide) at 80°C for 20 minutes, and finally immersed in a neutralization solution (Reduction Solution Securiganth P manufactured by Ammet Japan, an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid) at 40°C for 5 minutes, and then dried at 80°C for 15 minutes. This was used as roughened substrate A.
[0368] (6) Measurement of the dimensions of the through hole after roughening treatment
[0369] Roughened substrate A was used as the sample. For this roughened substrate A, cross-sectional observation was performed using a FIB-SEM composite apparatus (SMI3050SE, SIINano Technology). Specifically, using FIB (Focused Ion Beam), the insulating layer was cut to reveal a cross-section parallel to the thickness direction of the insulating layer and passing through the center of the bottom of the via. This cross-section was observed using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), and the top and bottom diameters of the via were determined from the observed images.
[0370] The aforementioned measurements were performed using five randomly selected through-holes. The average of the measured top diameters of the five through-holes was then used as the top diameter Lt of the through-hole in the sample. Furthermore, the average of the measured bottom diameters of the five through-holes was used as the bottom diameter Lb of the through-hole in the sample.
[0371] (7) Measurement of the halo distance after roughening treatment
[0372] For roughened substrate A, cross-sectional observation was performed using a FIB-SEM composite apparatus (SII Nano Technology Co., Ltd., "SMI3050SE"). Specifically, using FIB (Focused Ion Beam), the insulating layer was cut to reveal a cross-section parallel to the thickness direction of the insulating layer and passing through the center of the bottom of the via. This cross-section was then observed using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). The observation revealed a gap formed by the continuous peeling of the insulating layer from the copper foil layer of the inner substrate, starting from the edge of the bottom of the via. From the observed image, the distance r3 from the center of the bottom of the via to the edge of the bottom of the via (corresponding to the inner radius of the halo) and the distance r4 from the center of the bottom of the via to the more distant end of the aforementioned gap (corresponding to the outer radius of the halo) were measured. The difference between these distances r3 and r4, r4-r3, was calculated as the halo distance from the edge of the bottom of the via at the measurement location.
[0373] The aforementioned measurements were performed using five randomly selected through-holes. Subsequently, the average value of the measured halo distances of the five through-holes was taken as the halo distance Wb of the sample from the bottom edge of the through-hole.
[0374] The halo ratio Hb is calculated using the values of the bottom diameter Lb of the through-hole and the halo distance Wb. The halo ratio Hb after roughening is represented as the ratio of the halo distance Wb from the edge of the bottom of the roughened through-hole to the radius (Lb / 2) of the bottom of the roughened through-hole, "Wb / (Lb / 2)". If the halo ratio Hb is below 35%, the halo suppression evaluation is judged as "○"; if the halo ratio Hb is greater than 35%, the halo suppression evaluation is judged as "×".

[0401] <Reference Test Example 1: Determination of Elastic Modulus>
[0402] The untreated side of the release PET film (Lintec Corporation "501010", 38μm thick, 240mm square) is placed on the glass cloth substrate epoxy resin double copper clad laminate (Panasonic Electric Works Corporation "R5715ES", 0.7mm thick, 255mm square) in a way that connects to the surface of the film. The four sides of the release PET film are then fixed with polyimide adhesive tape (10mm wide).
[0403] The resin sheets (167×107mm square) with supports prepared in each reference example were laminated in the center using an intermittent vacuum pressure laminator (Nikko-Materials, 2-stage laminator, CVP700), with the second resin composition layer in contact with the release surface of the release PET film. The lamination process was performed by depressurizing the air pressure to below 13 hPa for 30 seconds, followed by pressing at 100°C and 0.74 MPa for 30 seconds.
[0404] Next, the support is peeled off, and the resin sheet layer is thermo-cured at 190°C for 90 minutes.
[0405] After heat curing, the polyimide adhesive tape is peeled off, and the cured layer is removed from the epoxy resin double-sided copper-clad laminate of the glass cloth substrate. Then, the release PET film is peeled off from the cured layer to obtain a sheet-like cured product (evaluation cured product).
[0406] The cured material for evaluation was cut into dumbbell-shaped pieces (No. 1) to obtain test specimens. Tensile tests were performed on these specimens using a Tensilon universal testing machine (manufactured by A&D Corporation) according to Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS K7127), and the elastic modulus at 23°C was measured. This operation was performed three times, and the average values were calculated, as shown in Table 1.
[0407] <Reference Experiment 2: Determination of Relative Permittivity and Dielectric Loss Tangent>
[0408] The resin sheets with supports prepared in each reference example were laminated onto a laminate (a copper foil etching product, MCL-E-700G, manufactured by Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd.) using an intermittent vacuum pressure laminator (MVLP-500, Meiki Seisakusho). The lamination process involved depressurizing the pressure for 30 seconds to below 13 hPa, followed by pressing at 120°C and 0.74 MPa for 30 seconds. Then, the PET film was peeled off, and the resin composition layer was cured at 190°C for 90 minutes to obtain a cured sample.
[0409] The cured sample was cut into test pieces with a width of 2 mm and a length of 80 mm. For these test pieces, the relative permittivity and dielectric loss tangent were measured using an Agilent Technologies HP8362B resonant cavity perturbation method at a measurement frequency of 5.8 GHz and a measurement temperature of 23 °C. Measurements were performed on three test pieces, and the average values were calculated, as shown in Table 1.
[0410] <Experimental Example 2: Evaluation of the overall dielectric loss tangent of the cured layer (insulating layer)>
[0411] Based on the dielectric loss tangent of the cured layer calculated in Reference Test Example 2, obtained by curing each resin composition layer used in the Examples and Comparative Examples, and the thickness of each resin composition layer in the Examples and Comparative Examples, the dielectric loss tangent d of the entire cured layer (insulating layer) composed of the first cured layer and the second cured layer is calculated according to the following formula. all ,
[0412] d all =d1×t1 / (t1+t2)+d2×t2 / (t1+t2)···(5)
[0413] In formula (5), t1 is the thickness of the first resin composition layer (μm), t2 is the thickness of the second resin composition layer (μm), d1 is the dielectric loss tangent of the first cured layer formed by the first resin composition layer, and d2 is the dielectric loss tangent of the second cured layer formed by the second resin composition layer.
[0414] The overall dielectric loss tangent d of the cured layer (insulating layer) all If it is below 0.0055, the evaluation of low dielectric loss tangent will be judged as "○"; if the overall dielectric loss tangent of the cured layer (insulating layer) is d all If the value is greater than 0.0055, the evaluation of low dielectric loss tangent will be judged as "×".
[0415] The amounts of raw materials used in the resin compositions of the examples and comparative examples, the thickness of the resin composition layers, the measurement results, calculation results and evaluation results of the test examples and reference test examples are shown in Table 1 below.
[0416] [Table 1]
[0417]
[0418] As shown in Table 1, in Comparative Example 2, where a single cured layer can suppress the halo phenomenon, there is a problem of a high dielectric loss tangent. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, where a single cured layer has a low dielectric loss tangent, the formation of halos becomes significant. Furthermore, in Comparative Example 3, where a two-layer cured layer does not satisfy condition (3), and in Comparative Example 5, where a two-layer cured layer does not satisfy condition (1), the formation of halos is suppressed, but there is a problem of a high dielectric loss tangent for the two-layer cured layer as a whole. In Comparative Example 4, where a two-layer cured layer does not satisfy condition (2), the dielectric loss tangent for the two-layer cured layer as a whole is suppressed to a low level, but the formation of halos becomes significant. In contrast, it can be seen that when using the resin composition of the present invention that satisfies all conditions (1) to (3), these problems can be overcome.
