[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology in the field of electronics, mankind is entering the 5G era. Corresponding electronic components, especially printed circuit boards - such as printed circuit boards for mobile communications and automotive electronics - have ushered in a new round of technological upgrades. This has put forward higher requirements on the performance of basic insulating materials in printed circuit boards. For example, the basic insulating materials are required to have extremely excellent heat resistance, dielectric properties, dimensional stability, etc., in order to adapt to the processing performance requirements of printed circuit boards and other electronic components or devices in the manufacturing process.

[0097]

[0098] Table 2: For the exemplary poly(phenylene ether) shown in Formula (1) of the present application, the total number of Y in the poly(phenylene ether) corresponding to various values of m and n (total number of Y = m + n + 2)

[0099]

[0100] According to one embodiment of the present application, when describing that the poly(phenylene ether) resin of the present application "has a specific m + n value", it means (Z) m (Y) m+1 and (Z) n (Y) n+1 a mixture of various poly(phenylene ethers) (i.e., isomers with the same molecular formula but different group connection structures) in which the total number of Z in (Y) and (Z) satisfies the defined value, rather than being limited to a specific isomer. For example Figure 2A to Figure 2F shows the structures of six different isomers with the same degree of branching (m + n = 8), but note that the isomers shown here are only exemplary and not exhaustive, and may also include other isomers with a degree of branching (m + n) = 8, such as Figure 2A to Figure 2F the isomers shown are all cases where m = n, and the above isomers may also include isomers where m > n or m < n. When the present application describes a poly(phenylene ether) resin with "m + n = 8", the poly(phenylene ether) resin means that it may include Figures 2A to 2F the isomers shown and any one of various other isomers with a degree of branching of 8 used alone, or a mixture of two or more, or all types of isomers.

[0236]

[0237] Table 5: Resin composition formulations of Comparative Examples 1 to 9 (C1 to 9)

[0238]

[0239] Specifically, various products were manufactured using the resin compositions of the above embodiments and comparative examples according to the following steps:

[0240] A. Preparation of prepreg: The resin compositions are uniformly mixed in a stirring tank according to the formula shown in Table 4 or Table 5 to form a varnish (or gel). The "appropriate amount" of toluene added means that the amount of mixed solvent can make the solid content of the entire resin composition in the varnish be 65% by weight (S / C = 65%). Next, the varnish is placed in an impregnation tank, and then a glass fiber cloth (L-glass fiber cloth with specifications of 2116, 1080 or 1027, purchased from Asahi Co., Ltd., Japan) is immersed in the above impregnation tank to make the resin composition adhere to the glass fiber cloth, and then heated and baked at 140°C for about 4 minutes to obtain a prepreg.

[0241] B. Manufacturing of copper-containing substrate (or copper foil substrate, 8-ply, composed of eight prepregs laminated together): prepare two 18-μm-thick ultra-low surface roughness (HVLP) copper foils and eight prepregs made of 2116-spec L-glass fiber cloth, each prepreg having a resin content of about 55% by weight, and laminate the copper foil, eight prepregs, and copper foil in the order of vacuum and pressure of 35 kgf / cm 2 The copper-containing substrate is formed by pressing at 210° C. for 120 minutes. Among them, eight overlapping prepregs are cured to form an insulating layer between two copper foils, and the resin content of the insulating layer is about 55% by weight.

[0242] C. Manufacturing of copper-containing substrate (or copper foil substrate, 2 layers, formed by laminating two prepregs): prepare two 18 μm thick ultra-low surface roughness (HVLP) copper foils and two or more prepregs made of 1080 specification L-glass fiber cloth in process A, each prepreg having a resin content of about 70% by weight, and laminate them in the order of copper foil, two prepregs and copper foil, and place them under vacuum and pressure of 35 kgf / cm 2 The copper-containing substrate is formed by pressing at 210° C. for 120 minutes. The two superimposed prepregs are cured to form an insulating layer between two copper foils, and the resin content of the insulating layer is about 70% by weight.

[0243] D. Preparation of a copper-free substrate (8 layers, formed by laminating eight prepregs): The copper-containing substrate (8 layers) prepared in the above process B is etched to remove the copper foil on both sides to obtain a copper-free substrate (8 layers), which is formed by laminating eight prepregs. The resin content of the copper-free substrate is about 55% by weight.

[0244] E. Copper-free substrate (2 layers, formed by pressing two semi-cured sheets): The copper-containing substrate (2 layers) obtained in the above process C is etched to remove the copper foil on both sides to obtain a copper-free substrate (2 layers), which is formed by pressing two semi-cured sheets together. The resin content of the copper-free substrate is about 70% by weight.

[0245] The following testing techniques were used to characterize the properties of various resin compositions and prepregs, copper-containing substrates and copper-free substrates made therefrom.

[0246] Glue filling cavitation test:

[0247] A 2.5 mil thick copper-containing substrate was processed into a browned circuit board through a conventional browning process as the inner layer, and the ability of the semi-cured sheet to flow the resin to fill the empty areas between the circuits during lamination was evaluated. 1027 L-glass fiber cloth was impregnated with the varnish of the resin composition of each group of embodiments or comparative examples, and baked at 140°C for 4 minutes to obtain a semi-cured sheet, the resin content of the semi-cured sheet was about 71 wt% to 73 wt%. A piece of the aforementioned semi-cured sheet was stacked on each side of the 2.5 mil thick browned circuit board, and an ultra-low surface roughness copper foil (thickness of 18 microns) was stacked on the outer layer. In a vacuum press, at 35kgf / cm 2 The inner circuit substrate with copper on the surface is formed by pressing under pressure and at a temperature of 200°C for 2 hours, and the outer copper foil is removed by etching to obtain the inner circuit substrate without copper on the surface. The inner circuit substrate without copper on the surface is visually observed to see if there are cavities greater than or equal to 1 mm on the copper-free surface (i.e., there is a lack of glue). If there are cavities, it is unqualified, because if there are cavities inside the substrate after pressing, it will cause subsequent circuit board failure and scrapping.

[0248] Glass transition temperature (Tg)

[0249] In the glass transition temperature test, the copper-free substrate (made of eight prepregs pressed together) obtained in the above process D was selected as the sample to be tested. The dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) method was used to measure the glass transition temperature (in °C) of the sample to be tested, referring to the method described in IPC-TM-6502.4.24.4. The measurement temperature range was 35 °C to 270 °C, and the temperature rise rate was 2 °C / min. The higher the glass transition temperature, the better the product characteristics.

[0250] Thermal expansion coefficient (along the Z axis, Z-PTE)

[0251] In the measurement of thermal expansion coefficient, the copper-free substrate (made of eight prepregs pressed together) obtained in the above process D was selected as the sample to be tested for thermomechanical analysis (TMA). The sample was heated at a temperature rise rate of 10°C per minute, and the temperature range was increased from 35°C to 270°C. The Z-axis thermal expansion coefficient (Z-PTE, in %) of each sample to be tested in the temperature range of 50°C to 260°C was measured with reference to the method described in IPC-TM-650 2.4.24.5. The lower the thermal expansion coefficient, the better the characteristics. When the difference in the Z-axis thermal expansion coefficient is greater than or equal to 0.1%, it is a significant difference.

[0252] Dielectric constant (Dk) and dielectric loss (Df)

[0253] In the measurement of dielectric constant and dielectric loss, the copper-free substrate (made of two prepregs pressed together) obtained in the above process E was selected as the sample to be tested. A microwave dielectric analyzer (purchased from AET, Japan) was used to measure each sample at room temperature (about 25°C) and a frequency of 10 GHz according to the JIS C2565 method. The lower the dielectric constant and dielectric loss, the better the dielectric properties of the sample to be tested.

[0254] Warpage

[0255] Prepare multiple sheets of ultra-low surface roughness (HVLP) copper foil with a thickness of 18 microns, single sheets of L-glass fiber cloth prepreg sheets with specifications of 1080 (resin solid content of about 70 weight %) and 1027 (resin solid content of about 74 weight %), first press the 1080 prepreg sheet into a copper-containing substrate (2-layer board), etch the surface copper foil into a predetermined circuit, stack the 1027 prepreg sheet and copper foil on the upper and lower sides and press them into a 4-layer board, etch the surface copper foil into a predetermined circuit, and press them into a 16-layer circuit board in the same way for many times. In the warpage test, the above 16-layer circuit board is selected as the sample to be tested, and the test instrument used is the Axp of AKROMETRIX of the United States, and the thermal deformation when the circuit board is loaded with components is simulated and tested (the temperature rise program of the instrument refers to IPC TM 650 2.6.27), focusing on comparing the warpage of the circuit dense area of ​​the circuit board at 260°C. The lower the measured warpage, the better the performance of the sample under test.

[0256] Triple detection size exclusion chromatography (TD-SEC) tests the α value of polyphenylene ether:

[0257] The triple detection volume exclusion chromatography (TD-SEC) was purchased from Waters and was equipped with a 2414 differential refractive index detector (DRI), a Wyatt TRI STAR mini DAWN multi-angle laser detector (MALLS) and a viscosity detector (DP). The triple detection volume exclusion chromatography (TD-SEC) was used to determine the average molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, intrinsic viscosity and other parameters of various polyphenylene ethers prepared in the preparation example. The test temperature was 35° C., the mobile phase was THF, the flow rate was 1 ml / min, linear PMMA was used as the standard sample, and the chromatographic separation columns were Styagel HR1THF 7.8′300mm, Styagel HR3THF 7.8′300mm, Styagel HR4THF7.8′300mm and Styagel HR5THF 7.8′300mm four columns connected in series. After setting the above parameters, the α value was directly determined.

[0258] The characterization results of Examples 1 to 10 (E1 to E10) and Comparative Examples 1 to 9 (C1 to C9) are summarized in Tables 6 and 7 below, respectively.

[0260]

[0261] Table 7 Characterization results of the resin compositions obtained in Comparative Examples 1 to 9 (C1 to C9)

[0262]

[0263] From the characterization results shown in Tables 6 and 7 above, it can be seen that all the embodiments of the present application can successfully pass the glue filling cavitation test without generating bubbles, and compared with the comparative examples (C1-C4, C8-C9), the embodiments of the present application can achieve very excellent glass transition temperature, extremely low Z-axis thermal expansion coefficient, lower Dk and Df, and much lower warpage. In addition, the comparative examples C5-C7 shown in Table 7 are prepared using the polyphenylene ether resin 1 prepared in Preparation Example 1, but without adding any compound represented by formula (2) to formula (4). As a result, these three comparative examples all generated cavitation and failed to pass the glue filling cavitation test, and these three embodiments also failed to reach the excellent level of Examples E1-E10 in terms of glass transition temperature, Z-axis thermal expansion coefficient, Dk and Df, and warpage.
