Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polyimide technology, and more particularly to a negative-type photosensitive polyimide precursor resin composition. Background Technology
[0002] Photosensitive polyimide photoresist (PSPI) is widely used in surface passivation of integrated circuit chips and surface redistribution processes in wafer-level packaging and panel-level packaging, making it a key material in advanced wafer-level packaging processes. Traditional PSPI materials require curing temperatures above 350°C to achieve their various superior properties. However, at such high curing temperatures, wafer warpage, stress cracking, and compatibility issues with other packaging materials can easily occur in advanced packaging processes such as high-density fan-out wafer-level packaging. Therefore, low-temperature curing of PSPI is necessary. However, low-temperature cured PSPI materials often suffer from insufficient imidization, resulting in poor mechanical properties and chemical corrosion resistance, failing to meet packaging process requirements. Furthermore, poor adhesion to other materials in the packaging process, especially electroplated copper, leads to poor device reliability. In particular, current high-end wafer-level packaging processes place higher demands on low-stress, low-warpage curing processes, making the need for ultra-low temperature cured PSPI materials (curing below 200°C) increasingly urgent, and solving the aforementioned problems is becoming increasingly pressing.
[0003] Generally, to solve the above problems, photo / thermal alkali-generating agents are introduced to lower the activation energy of imidization of polyimide precursor resins, thereby achieving excellent properties of polyimide resins in various aspects during low-temperature processes. Examples include CN112639616A, CN112513219A, CN112639615A, and CN111919172A. Alternatively, the molecular weight of the precursor resin can be controlled to ensure that the molecular chains have sufficiently high mobility during low-temperature curing, thereby increasing the imidization rate, as exemplified by CN108475020A. Furthermore, CN112334833A introduces polymeric compounds containing urethane and urea bonds, while CN110741318A and CN113168093A introduce polymeric compounds containing sulfite structures to achieve comprehensive properties such as high imidization rate during low-temperature curing, good chemical resistance, and excellent copper adhesion. In addition, various copper surface additives are generally introduced to improve the adhesion between the redistribution layer and the copper surface, such as CN102375336B and CN112799281A.
[0004] Generally, the most prominent problem with PSPI materials cured below 230°C is insufficient chemical corrosion resistance, making it difficult to meet the process requirements of wafer-level packaging. The main reason for this is that at ultra-low curing temperatures, most additives, especially photocrosslinking agents and polymeric functional groups from the polyimide precursor, remain in the cured film. The chemical corrosion resistance of these additive residues is often much worse than that of polyimide itself. To address this issue, methods typically involve introducing rigid photocrosslinking agents with aliphatic cyclic skeletons to enhance the rigidity of the molecular structure of the residues in the cured film, thereby improving their chemical corrosion resistance (e.g., CN110520795A), or introducing multifunctional crosslinking agents to increase the crosslinking density of the residues in the cured film, such as CN111936930A and CN110300767A. However, the resulting materials still fail to achieve sufficiently excellent chemical corrosion resistance to meet the stringent requirements of packaging processes. Summary of the Invention

Attached Figure Description
[0056] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the chemical structure of EP-1 to EP-8 used in the embodiments and comparative examples of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0057] The following embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, the detailed descriptions of the embodiments provided below are not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0058] In this invention, unless otherwise specified, all equipment and raw materials are commercially available or commonly used in the industry. The methods described in the following embodiments are conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified.
[0059] The inventors discovered that existing methods for improving the chemical corrosion resistance of ultra-low temperature curing PSPI materials often only involve increasing the crosslinking density and molecular structure strength of the PSPI material during the exposure process. However, similar experimental verifications have shown that this is insufficient to obtain sufficiently excellent chemical corrosion resistance to meet the stringent requirements of the packaging process.
[0060] Therefore, this invention introduces a polymerizable monomer containing an epoxy structure into the polyimide precursor composition. During the exposure process, the double bonds can be crosslinked into the main structure of the polyimide precursor. At the same time, in the subsequent thermosetting process, the epoxy groups undergo a thermocrosslinking reaction with the hydroxyl groups generated after imidization of the PSPI precursor, further enhancing the crosslinking density and strength of the additive residues in the cured film, thereby obtaining excellent chemical corrosion resistance.
[0061] The negative photosensitive polyimide precursor resin composition provided by the present invention comprises: (1) a polyamic acid ester as a polyimide precursor; (2) a first radical polymerizable monomer containing an epoxy structure; (3) a second radical polymerizable monomer; and (4) a photoinitiator.

It is 0.5-10 parts by weight per 100 parts of polyamic acid ester.

Based on 100 parts of polyamic acid ester, it is 0.01-5 parts by mass. Too few parts will destroy the storage stability of the adhesive solution, while too many parts will destroy the photolithography performance of the adhesive solution.

[0134] The thermal alkali-generating agent in this invention is further preferably N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-4-piperidinemethanol.
[0135] In the technical solution of the present invention, the amount of thermal alkali agent added is considered from the perspective of improving the degree of thermal imidization of polyimide precursor resin. Based on 100 parts of polyamic acid ester, it is 0.1-10 parts by weight. If the amount is too low, it will not be conducive to improving the degree of thermal imidization of polyimide precursor resin, and if the amount is too high, it will significantly shorten the storage stability of the adhesive.
[0136] In the technical solution of the present invention, the above-mentioned negative photosensitive polyimide precursor resin composition can be obtained by thermal imidization to obtain a cured polyimide composition, and patterned cured polyimide compositions can also be prepared by using a mask with a specific pattern.
[0137] The preparation method of the patterned cured polyimide composition includes the following steps:
[0138] (1) The above negative photosensitive polyimide precursor resin composition is coated on a substrate to form a negative photosensitive polyimide precursor resin layer on the substrate;
[0139] (2) Expose the negative photosensitive polyimide precursor resin layer on the substrate;
[0140] (3) The exposed negative photosensitive polyimide precursor resin layer is developed to form a pattern;
[0141] (4) Heat the pattern to form a solidified pattern.
[0142] In step (1), there are no specific restrictions on the coating method. Spin coating, scraping coating, screen printing, spraying, etc. can be used. Then, it is dried as needed to form a negative photosensitive polyimide precursor resin layer. As for the drying method, heating drying in an oven or heating plate, vacuum drying, etc. can be used. As for the substrate, metal substrates such as Cu, glass substrates, semiconductor substrates, metal oxide insulators (TiO2, SiO2, etc.), silicon nitride substrates, etc. can be used.
[0143] Preferably, the drying is carried out under conditions where the polyamide ester in the negative photosensitive polyimide precursor resin composition does not form imide; specifically, drying at 70-130°C for 1-10 minutes.
[0144] In step (2), the negative photosensitive polyimide precursor resin layer is exposed through a mask with a specific pattern. The exposure device used can be a parallel exposure machine, a projection exposure machine, a step exposure machine, a scanning exposure machine, etc. The light source used can be ultraviolet light, visible light, or radiation, etc.
[0145] In step (3), a developer is used to remove the unexposed portion of the negative photosensitive polyimide precursor resin layer after exposure treatment to form a pattern; the applicable developer is a good solvent for the negative photosensitive polyimide precursor resin layer or a mixture of a good solvent and a bad solvent.
[0146] As good solvents, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-acetyl-2-pyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, γ-butyrolactone, α-acetyl-γ-butyrolactone, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, etc. can be used alone or in any mixture.
[0147] Examples of unsuitable solvents include toluene, xylene, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, and water. These can be used individually or in any mixture.
[0148] When using a mixed solvent of good and bad solvents for the negative photosensitive polyimide precursor resin layer as the developer, the ratio of good to bad solvent is determined based on the solubility of the polymer in the resin layer.
[0149] There are no particular limitations on the method of developing the solution; any existing known developing method can be used, such as rotary spraying, agitation, immersion, etc.
[0150] After treatment with the developer, further rinsing can be performed, preferably with a solvent different from the developer used.
[0151] In step (4), the polyamide ester is imidized by heating the pattern obtained by the above development to obtain the corresponding cured polyimide.
[0152] The heat treatment temperature is 150–400°C. Within this reaction temperature range, the cross-linking reaction or the dehydration and ring-closing reaction can be fully carried out.
[0153] The negative photosensitive polyimide precursor resin composition of the present invention can be applied to semiconductor devices by the above method, and can also be used for interlayer insulation of multilayer circuits, cover coating of flexible copper clad laminates, and other applications.

A temperature-programmed curing oven (HCM-500D, Shanghai Siwan Electronics) was used to heat-treat the coating for 2 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere at the curing temperatures listed in Table 1, resulting in a cured photolithographic pattern of approximately 10 μm thickness formed from the composition.
[0217] The cured photolithographic pattern obtained above was analyzed by cross-section analysis using a focused ion beam electron microscope (FIB, Helios G4, Thermo Fisher) to evaluate its photolithographic accuracy and cross-sectional morphology. The photolithographic performance of the negative photosensitive resin composition was then evaluated: a photolithographic line accuracy of less than 10 μm was rated as "excellent", a photolithographic line accuracy of 10–20 μm was rated as "good", a photolithographic line accuracy of 20–50 μm was rated as "fair", and a photolithographic line accuracy of more than 50 μm was rated as "poor".
[0218] 3. Mechanical property testing of the cured film:
[0219] The cured exposure film prepared by the above method with a mask of a specific pattern and curing method is immersed in 1% hydrofluoric acid aqueous solution for 10 min and then peeled off from the silicon wafer to obtain a 5 mm × 10 cm film strip. After drying the moisture in an oven at 150 °C, the film strip is subjected to mechanical tensile testing using a universal tensile tester (Shenzhen Sansi Zongheng Technology). The mechanical properties are evaluated according to the elongation at break: an elongation at break greater than 50% is rated as "excellent", an elongation at break between 40% and 50% is rated as "good", an elongation at break between 20% and 40% is rated as "fair", and an elongation at break less than 20% is rated as "poor".
[0220] 4. Chemical resistance test of the cured film:
[0221] The cured exposure film prepared by the above method with a mask of a specific pattern and curing method is immersed in a 1% hydrofluoric acid aqueous solution for 10 min and then peeled off from the silicon wafer to obtain a complete cured film. After drying the moisture in an oven at 150°C, it is immersed in a dimethyl sulfoxide solution containing 2.38% tetramethylammonium hydroxide at 50°C for 60 min. The chemical resistance is evaluated according to the weight loss of the cured film before and after the chemical resistance treatment: less than 5% weight loss is rated as "excellent", 5%-15% weight loss is rated as "good", 15%-25% weight loss is rated as "fair", and more than 25% weight loss is rated as "poor".
[0222] The components and contents of the negative photosensitive polyimide precursor resin compositions prepared in the above examples and comparative examples, as well as the curing process, are shown in Table 1, and the relevant performance test data are shown in Table 2. As can be seen from Tables 1 and 2, compared to Comparative Examples 1-3, the examples with added free radical polymerizable compounds having an epoxy structure generally exhibit good mechanical properties, photolithographic properties, and chemical corrosion resistance under different resin systems. The examples with added free radical polymerizable epoxy compounds EP-5 / 6 show good chemical corrosion resistance but poor photolithographic resolution, while Comparative Example 3, without added epoxy additives, has very poor chemical corrosion resistance.
