Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of photosensitive resins and relates to a negative photosensitive polyimide composition, a method for producing a pattern, a cured product thereof, an interlayer insulating film, a surface protective film, and an electronic component. More specifically, the present invention relates to a negative photosensitive polyimide composition that can be developed with an alkaline aqueous solution without reducing sensitivity, achieving excellent resolution, and maintaining a good shape of the pattern; a method for producing a pattern-cured film using the composition; and an electronic component. Background Art

[0002] Traditionally, surface protective films and interlayer insulating films for semiconductor devices have generally been made from polyimide resins, which offer excellent thermal stability, electrical insulation, and mechanical properties. These polyimide resin films are typically formed by applying a polyimide precursor (polyamic acid) solution obtained by polycondensing tetracarboxylic dianhydride and diamine in a polar solvent, coating the solution with spin coating or other methods, and then curing the solution by dehydration and ring closure by heating (see Non-Patent Document 1).

[0003] In recent years, photosensitive polyimide has been widely used in surface protection films, interlayer insulation films, etc. in the field of semiconductor devices and integrated circuit packaging due to its inherent photosensitive properties, which can simplify the pattern formation process and shorten the complicated pattern manufacturing process (see patent documents 1-3).

[0004] In the past, the development of above-mentioned photosensitive polyimide has adopted organic solvents such as N-Methylpyrrolidone always.But due to the environmental consciousness in recent years and considering the processing of waste liquid, it is believed that adopting alkaline aqueous solution development problem is less, but the solubility of these photosensitive polyimide materials is very poor, is difficult to form pattern (referring to patent documentation 4-5).In addition, the negative photosensitive polyimide material that can be used for alkaline aqueous solution development must comprise alkali soluble group, but this material is difficult to effectively replicate pattern (referring to non-patent documentation 2) after development.Along with the requirement of semiconductor device to power consumption, polybenzoxazole material has been gradually paid attention to because of its lower dielectric constant and lower water absorption.But, the material that possesses negativity and excellent alkali developability simultaneously is still not reported.

[0005] Therefore, in the art, it is desired to develop a photosensitive polyimide composition having both negative properties and excellent alkaline developability.

[0065] Hereinafter, embodiments of the negative photosensitive resin composition, method for producing a cured pattern, cured product, interlayer insulating film, surface protective film, electronic component, etc. of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0066] [Negative photosensitive resin composition]

[0067] The negative photosensitive polyimide composition of the present invention contains (a) a polymer soluble in an alkaline aqueous solution, (b) a photopolymerization initiator, (c) a compound having a polymerizable functional group, and (d) a crosslinking agent having a -CH2OR (R is a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group) group.

[0068] The negative photosensitive polyimide composition of the present invention has excellent sensitivity and resolution by increasing the dissolution rate ratio (dissolution contrast) between the exposed portion of the pattern and the unexposed portion in an alkaline developer.

[0069] Regarding the alkaline aqueous solution-soluble polymer as component (a), from the viewpoints of processability and heat resistance, its main chain backbone is preferably a polyimide-based or polyoxazole-based polymer, and more specifically, an alternating block polymer of these two types of polymers is preferred. Component (a) may also be a copolymer having two or more of the above main chain backbones, or a mixture of two or more polymers.

[0070] From the viewpoint of solubility in an alkaline aqueous solution, the polymer soluble in an alkaline aqueous solution as component (a) is preferably a polymer having a plurality of phenolic hydroxyl groups, a plurality of carboxyl groups, or both.

[0071] The following describes one criterion for component (a) being soluble in an alkaline aqueous solution. A photosensitive composition obtained by dissolving component (a) alone or in combination with other components in any solvent is spin-coated onto a substrate such as a silicon wafer to form a coating film having a thickness of approximately 5 μm. This coating film is then immersed in an aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide at 20-25°C. Component (a) is soluble in an alkaline aqueous solution if it dissolves to form a uniform solution.

[0072] Component (a) is more preferably a copolymer of polyamide ester-polyhydroxyamide, a polymer having a structural unit represented by the following formula 1, utilizing the alkali solubility, good photosensitivity, and film properties of phenolic hydroxyl groups and part of carboxyl groups.

[0073]

[0074] wherein R is selected from any one of hydrogen, CH2=CH-COOCH2CH2- or CH2=C(CH3)-COOCH2CH2- at each occurrence, the same or different; U is a tetravalent organic group, V is a divalent organic group, and W is a trivalent organic group.

[0075] The hydroxyl-containing polyamide shown in Formula 1 can be ultimately converted into an oxazole by curing dehydration ring closure, and the amide ester-containing part can be ultimately converted into an imide by curing to release small molecules. Thus, the cured film has excellent heat resistance, mechanical properties and electrical properties.

[0076] The alkaline aqueous solution mentioned above refers to a tetramethylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution, a metal hydroxide aqueous solution, an organic amine aqueous solution, or the like.

[0077] In formula 1, U is a tetravalent organic group, generally a residue of a tetracarboxylic dianhydride or a derivative thereof having an amide ester structure formed by tetracarboxylic dianhydride or a derivative thereof and a diamine, preferably a tetravalent aromatic group, preferably a residue of a tetracarboxylic dianhydride or a derivative thereof having the following structure, wherein all four binding sites are present on the aromatic ring. Examples of such tetracarboxylic dianhydrides include pyromellitic dianhydride, 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride, 2,3,3',4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride, 2,2',3,3'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride, 3,3',4,4'-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride, 2,2',3,3'-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride, 2,2-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)propane dianhydride, 2,2-bis(2,3-dicarboxyphenyl)propane dianhydride, 1,1-bis(3, 4-dicarboxyphenyl)ethane dianhydride, 1,1-bis(2,3-dicarboxyphenyl)ethane dianhydride, bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)methane dianhydride, bis(2,3-dicarboxyphenyl)methane dianhydride, bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)sulfone dianhydride, bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)ether dianhydride, 1,2,5,6-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride, 9,9-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)fluorene dianhydride, 9,9 Aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides such as bis{4-(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy)phenyl}fluorene dianhydride, 2,3,6,7-naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride, 2,3,5,6-pyridinetetracarboxylic dianhydride, 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride, and 2,2-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane dianhydride; and aliphatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides such as butanetetracarboxylic dianhydride and 1,2,3,4-cyclopentanetetracarboxylic dianhydride. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0078] In Formula 1, V is a divalent organic group, generally a dicarboxylic acid residue having an amide structure formed by a dicarboxylic acid and a diamine. It is preferably a divalent aromatic group, preferably a dicarboxylic acid residue having the following structure, where both binding sites are present on the aromatic ring. Examples of such dicarboxylic acids include terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, phthalic acid, 4,4'-dicarboxydiphenyl ether, bis(4-carboxyphenyl)propane, and bis(4-carboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0079] In formula 1, W is a trivalent organic group, generally a residue of a hydroxydiamine having an amide structure formed by the reaction of a hydroxyl-containing diamine with a dicarboxylic acid, preferably a trivalent aromatic group, preferably 6-40 carbon atoms, more preferably a trivalent aromatic group having 6-40 carbon atoms. As the above-mentioned trivalent aromatic group, a residue of a diamine having the following structure is preferred, wherein all three binding sites are on the aromatic ring, and one hydroxyl group is each located at the ortho position to which W is bound. Examples of such diamines include 2,4-diaminophenol, 2,3-diaminophenol, 2,5-diaminophenol, 2,6-diaminophenol, and the like. The residues of such diamines are not limited to these, and the residues of these compounds may be present alone or in combination of two or more.

[0080] The solubility of the polymer in alkaline aqueous solution is derived from phenolic hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups, so it is preferred to contain a structure of a certain proportion or more. More preferably, j is an amide unit containing a carboxyl group, and the molar ratio of j to k is j = 10-50 mol%, k = 50-90 mol%. The two structural units can be blended or copolymerized. In addition, an excessively large j unit will cause a certain film thickness loss in the exposed area, resulting in an inability to effectively replicate the pattern. Therefore, by adjusting the amount of alkali-soluble groups of phenolic hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups, the dissolution rate of the polymer in alkaline aqueous solution changes, thereby obtaining a negative photosensitive resin composition with a moderate dissolution rate.

[0081]

[0082] In formula 1-1, R 24 Each occurrence is identically or differently selected from CH2=CH-COOCH2CH2- or CH2=C(CH3)-COOCH2CH2-. j+k is the number of repeating structural units of the polymer of the present invention, preferably 3-200, more preferably 5-100. When j+k is less than 3, the viscosity of the composition is too small, resulting in the composition being unable to be used as a thick film, and when j+k is greater than 200, the composition becomes insoluble in alkaline aqueous solution. When the structures represented by Formula 1 each contain greater than or equal to 10% by weight of fluorine atoms, during development with an alkaline aqueous solution, an appropriate degree of waterproofing is exhibited at the interface of the film to prevent penetration at the interface. However, when the content of fluorine atoms exceeds 20% by weight, the solubility in alkaline aqueous solution is reduced. Therefore, the fluorine atom content is preferably 10-20% by weight.

[0083] In addition, in order to improve adhesion to the substrate, as long as the heat resistance is not damaged, the V part can be selected to copolymerize with a certain proportion of aliphatic groups with a siloxane structure, preferably 1-10 mol% of bis(3-aminopropyl)tetramethyldisiloxane or bis(p-aminophenyl)octamethylpentasiloxane, etc.

[0084] The terminal groups of the aromatic polyamide represented by Formula 1 are carboxylic acids or amines, depending on the ratio of U, V, and W. Optionally, one or two end-capping agents may react with the polymer ends to convert one or both ends into saturated aliphatic groups, unsaturated aliphatic groups, carboxyl groups, phenolic hydroxyl groups, sulfonic acid groups, or mercapto groups. In this case, the end-capping ratio is preferably 30-100%.

[0085] The molecular weight of component (a) is preferably 3,000 to 200,000, more preferably 5,000 to 100,000, as a weight average molecular weight. The molecular weight herein is a value measured by gel permeation chromatography and converted from a standard polystyrene calibration curve.

[0086] In the present invention, the polyamide having the structural unit shown in Formula 1 is generally first synthesized by acylation of dicarboxylic acid and diamine containing hydroxyl groups to form a terminal amino compound, which is then reacted with an acid anhydride through a condensation reaction to form a polyamic acid structure, which is then subjected to isoimidization and then esterification to obtain the obtained product.

[0087] Specifically, in the first step, a diamine compound containing a hydroxyl group can be prepared by reacting a dicarboxylic acid with a diamine containing a hydroxyl group. In the second step, the diamine compound synthesized in the first step is subjected to a polycondensation reaction with an acid anhydride to prepare a polyamic acid. In the third step, the polyamic acid is converted into a polyisoimide in the presence of a dehydrating agent, wherein the dehydrating agent is preferably trifluoroacetic anhydride. In the fourth step, hydroxyethyl acrylate or hydroxyethyl methacrylate is added to carry out an esterification reaction, taking into account the characteristics of the isoimide as an acid anhydride, to obtain the polymer described in Formula 1.

[0088] The compound that generates free radicals by irradiation with active light as component (b) is a photoinitiator. Active light can include ultraviolet rays such as i-rays, visible light or radiation. As component (b), oxime compounds, acylphosphine oxide compounds, acyldialkylmethane compounds, etc. are listed. It is preferred to contain one or more compounds (hereinafter referred to as component (b1)) selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by formula 5-1 and / or formula 5-2. Component (b1) is preferably a component with high sensitivity to active light, and is preferably a highly sensitive photosensitizer.

[0134] Next, the method for producing the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention will be described. For example, a photosensitive resin composition can be obtained by uniformly mixing the above-mentioned components (a) to (d) and the components (e) to (h) used as needed, a surfactant, etc. As the dissolution method, stirring and heating can be mentioned. When heating, it is preferred to set the heating temperature within a range that does not damage the performance of the resin composition, usually room temperature to 80°C. In addition, the order in which the components are dissolved is not particularly limited, and for example, a method of dissolving in sequence starting from compounds with low solubility is included. In addition, for components such as surfactants and some adhesion improvers that are prone to generate bubbles when stirred and dissolved, poor dissolution of other components caused by the generation of bubbles can be prevented by adding them last after dissolving other components.

[0135] The resulting photosensitive resin composition is preferably filtered through a filter to remove impurities and particles. The filter pore size is 0.5 to 0.02 μm, including, but not limited to, 0.5 μm, 0.2 μm, 0.1 μm, 0.05 μm, and 0.02 μm. Filter materials include polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), nylon (NY), and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), with polyethylene and nylon being preferred. If the photosensitive resin composition contains inorganic particles, a filter with a pore size larger than the particle size of these inorganic particles is preferably used.

[0136] [cured material]

[0137] The cured product of the present invention can be obtained by curing the negative photosensitive polyimide composition. The cured product of the present invention can be used as a patterned cured film or a non-patterned cured film.

[0138] The method for producing a patterned cured film, for example, comprises: a step of coating the negative photosensitive polyimide composition on a substrate and drying it to form a photosensitive resin film (film forming step); a step of exposing the photosensitive resin film (exposure step); a step of developing the exposed photosensitive resin film with an alkaline aqueous solution to form a patterned resin film (development step); and a step of heating the patterned resin film (heating step). A method for producing a non-patterned cured film, for example, comprises the film forming step and the heating step. An exposure step may also be further included.

[0139] In the film forming process, the negative photosensitive polyimide composition is applied to a supporting substrate such as a Cu substrate, a glass substrate, a semiconductor, a metal oxide insulator (e.g., TiO2, SiO2, etc.), or silicon nitride by, for example, dipping, spraying, screen printing, or spin coating. From the perspective of workability, the applied negative photosensitive polyimide composition may be dried by heating using a hot plate, oven, or the like (e.g., 90-150°C for 1-5 minutes) before use. The supporting substrate may also be cleaned with acetic acid or the like before coating. The resulting photosensitive resin film preferably has a thickness of 5-20 μm.

[0140] In the exposure process, for example, the photosensitive resin film formed on the substrate is irradiated with the above-mentioned active light through a mask. From the perspective of the transparency of component (a), irradiation with i-rays can be preferably used. After exposure, post-exposure heating (PEB) can also be performed as needed. The temperature of post-exposure heating is preferably 70°C to 140°C, and the time of post-exposure heating is preferably 1 minute to 5 minutes.

[0141] In the developing process, for example, the exposed portion of the photosensitive resin film after the exposure process is removed with a developer, thereby patterning the photosensitive resin film. As a developer, in the case of an alkali-soluble photosensitive resin composition, an alkaline aqueous solution such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium silicate, ammonia, ethylamine, diethylamine, triethylamine, triethanolamine, tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) can be suitably used. The alkali concentration of these aqueous solutions is preferably set to 0.1 to 10% by mass. Furthermore, alcohols or surfactants can also be added to the above-mentioned developer and used. They can be respectively coordinated in a range of preferably 0.01 to 10 parts by mass, more preferably 0.1 to 5 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the developer. The patterned photosensitive resin film is referred to as a patterned resin film.

[0142] In the heating process, the photosensitive resin composition can be cured by heating the pattern resin film or the photosensitive resin film. In particular, the film obtained by curing the pattern resin film is called a pattern cured film. The heating temperature is preferably 100 to 500°C. From the viewpoint of fully preventing heat damage to electronic components, it is preferably less than or equal to 250°C, more preferably less than or equal to 225°C, and further preferably 140 to 210°C. The heating time is preferably 20 minutes to 6 hours, more preferably 30 minutes to 3 hours. Multi-stage heating can also be performed. The heat treatment can be performed using, for example, a quartz tube furnace, a hot plate, a rapid thermal annealing furnace, a vertical diffusion furnace, an infrared curing furnace, an electron beam curing furnace, and a microwave curing furnace. In addition, any one of the atmosphere or an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen can be selected, but when carried out under nitrogen, oxidation of the pattern can be prevented, so an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen is preferred.

[0143] The cured product of the present invention can be used as an interlayer insulating film, a surface protective film, or the like.

[0144] The interlayer insulating film and surface protective film of the present invention can be used in electronic components, etc. The electronic components of the present invention can be used in semiconductor devices, etc. The semiconductor devices can be used in various electronic devices, etc. The semiconductor package structure diagram of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 1 shown.

[0145] This exhibits excellent rust prevention and adhesion effects on a supporting substrate (particularly a copper substrate or a copper alloy substrate), and can suppress discoloration of the cured film and the supporting substrate (particularly a copper substrate or a copper alloy substrate).

[0146] Examples of the semiconductor device include semiconductor packages such as wafer-level chip scale packages (WLCSP) and fan-out wafer-level packages (FOWLP). Furthermore, the interlayer insulating film and surface protective film of the present invention can also be used in circuit formation substrates, which can be used in hard disk drive suspensions, flexible wiring boards, and the like.

[0210]

[0211] The performance of the photosensitive resin compositions prepared in the examples and comparative examples was evaluated as follows:

[0212] (1) Preparation of developing film

[0213] The photosensitive resin composition (varnish) prepared in the examples and comparative examples was spin-coated on an 8-inch silicon wafer and then heat-treated (prebaked) at 120°C for 2 minutes using a hot plate (coating and developing device Mark-7 manufactured by Tokyo Electron Ltd.) to form a prebaked film with a thickness of 2.5 μm. An i-line stepper (NSR-2005i9C manufactured by Nikon Corporation) was used to heat the film at a rate of 50 to 400 mJ / cm 2 Exposure, 10mJ / cm 2 The obtained prebaked film was exposed in steps of . After exposure, for a negative photosensitive resin composition, exposure was performed at 100°C for 1 minute and then baked. After the negative photosensitive resin composition was post-exposure baked, it was developed for 60 seconds using a 2.38 wt% tetramethylammonium (TMAH) aqueous solution (ELM-D manufactured by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Co., Ltd.), and then rinsed with pure water to obtain a developed film.

[0214] (2) Film thickness measurement method

[0215] The film thickness after prebaking and after development was measured using an optical interference film thickness measuring apparatus LAMBDA ACE STM-602 manufactured by Dainippon Screen Mfg. Co., Ltd. at a refractive index of 1.63.

[0216] (3) Calculation of developing film loss

[0217] The developed film loss was calculated using the following formula. Since the film thickness after prebaking is 2.5 μm, the developed film loss is preferably less than 0.50 μm. A developed film loss of less than 0.50 μm was designated "A," a developed film loss of 0.51 to 0.59 μm was designated "B," and a developed film loss of 0.60 μm or greater was designated "C."

[0218] The results are shown in Table 3: Developed film loss (μm) = film thickness after prebaking - film thickness after development.

[0219] (4) Evaluation of residual film rate after curing

[0220] In the production of the above-mentioned cured product, the film thickness after heating on a 110°C hot plate for 4 minutes and the film thickness after curing were measured using a Filmetrics instrument (manufactured by Filmetrics) (the film thickness measurement is the same below). The film thickness after curing (10 μm) was divided by the film thickness after heating on a 110°C hot plate for 4 minutes, and the result was converted into a percentage to determine the residual film ratio after curing. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0221] (5) Sensitivity evaluation

[0222] After exposure and development, the exposure dose (called the optimal exposure dose Eop) that forms a 20μm line and space pattern (1L / 1S) with a width of 1:1 is used as the sensitivity. If Eth is 200mJ / cm 2 Below, it can be judged as high sensitivity. More preferably, it is 150mJ / cm 2 The results are shown in Table 3 below.

[0223] (6) Chemical resistance evaluation

[0224] GTN-68P (manufactured by Senju Metal Industry Co., Ltd.) was applied to the cured product using a pipette. The coated product was placed on a hot plate at 245°C for 1 minute. The product was then removed from the hot plate and cooled to room temperature. The cooled product was rinsed with isopropyl alcohol, dried, and the film thickness was measured.

[0225] The film thickness change rate (%) was calculated based on the film thickness change before and after GTN-68P coating. A positive value indicates film expansion, while a negative value indicates film dissolution. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0226] (7) Adhesion evaluation

[0227] A cured product was produced on a Cu substrate using the above-described method for producing a cured product. The cured product was then cut into 10×10 grids using a crosscut guide (manufactured by COAT-TECH Co., Ltd.) with a shear blade, thereby dividing the cured product into 100 small pieces.

[0228] An adhesive tape (manufactured by 3M Japan Co., Ltd.) was attached to the cured product, and the adhesive tape was peeled off. The adhesiveness was evaluated as follows based on the number of small pieces of the cured product peeled off from the substrate when the adhesive tape was peeled off.

[0229] A: The number of remaining grids is 100 to 80.

[0230] B: The number of remaining grids is less than 80.

[0231] The results are shown in Table 3.
