In the present application, the cured product used in the measurement of the following conditions (i) to (iii) means a cured product obtained by coating the thermosetting resin composition on a substrate so that the film thickness after curing becomes 100 μm, putting it into a BOX furnace adjusted to 100°C in a hot air circulating type drying furnace, taking it out after 30 minutes, immediately putting it into a BOX furnace adjusted to 180°C, taking it out after 60 minutes and curing it.

[0092] [Use]

[0093] The thermosetting resin composition according to the present application can be preferably used for sealing and protecting purposes for SAW filters. In addition, the thermosetting resin composition according to the present application can be preferably used for purposes of forming a cured film of a printed wiring board, more preferably for purposes of forming a permanent protective film, particularly preferably for purposes of an interlayer insulating material, a coverlay, a solder resist composition, or a via filler. In addition, since the thermosetting resin composition according to the present application can form a cured product having excellent film strength even if it is a thin film, it can be applied to form a patterned film in a printed wiring board, such as a package substrate (a printed wiring board used in semiconductor packaging), which requires thinning. Further, the thermosetting resin composition according to the present application can be preferably used for flexible printed wiring boards.

[0094] [Dry film]

[0095] The dry film according to the present application has a first film and a resin layer composed of a dry coating film of the above-mentioned thermosetting resin composition formed on the first film. At the time of dry film formation, the thermosetting resin composition is diluted with the above-mentioned organic solvent and adjusted to an appropriate viscosity, and coated on the first film at a uniform thickness by a comma coater, a doctor blade coater, a lip coater, a bar coater, a squeeze coater, a reverse coating method, a transfer roll coater, a gravure coater, a spray coater, or the like, and generally dried at a temperature of 50 to 130°C for 1 to 30 minutes, whereby a film can be obtained. The coating film thickness is not particularly limited, and from the viewpoint of easier monolithicization, it is appropriately selected in the range of 10 to 250 μm, preferably 30 to 200 μm, based on the film thickness after drying.

[0096] As the first film, any publicly known film can be used without particular limitation, and for example, a film composed of a thermoplastic resin such as a polyethylene terephthalate film, a polyethylene naphthalate film, a polyimide film, a polyamide-imide film, a polypropylene film, a polystyrene film, or the like can be preferably used. Among them, from the viewpoints of heat resistance, mechanical strength, handleability, and the like, a polyester film is preferred. In addition, a laminate of these films can also be used as the first film.

[0097] In addition, from the viewpoint of improving the mechanical strength, the thermoplastic resin film as described above is preferably a film stretched in a uniaxial direction or a biaxial direction.

[0098] The thickness of the first film is not particularly limited, and for example, it can be set to 10 μm to 150 μm.

[0099] The dry film has a first film for the purpose of supporting the resin layer of the structure, and the like. The first film in the present application refers to a film that is at least bonded to the resin layer when laminated and integrally formed with the substrate or the like in contact with the resin layer side composed of the above-mentioned cured resin layer formed on the dry film by heating or the like. The first film can be peeled from the resin layer in a process after lamination. In particular, in the present application, it is preferable to be peeled from the resin layer in a process after curing. After forming the resin layer composed of the dried coating film of the curable resin composition on the first film, further, for the purpose of preventing dust from adhering to the surface of the resin layer or the like, it is preferable to laminate a second film (cover film) that can be peeled on the surface of the resin layer. The second film in the present application refers to a film that is peeled from the structure before lamination when laminated and integrally formed with the substrate or the like in contact with the resin layer side of the dry film by heating or the like. As the second film that can be peeled, for example, polyethylene film, polytetrafluoroethylene film, polypropylene film, paper after surface treatment, or the like can be cited, and when peeling the second film, it is only necessary that the adhesive force of the resin layer to the second film is smaller than the adhesive force of the resin layer to the first film.

[0100] The thickness of the second film is not particularly limited, and can be set to 10 μm to 150 μm, for example.

[0101] In order to produce a cured product on a printed wiring board using the dry film, the second film is peeled from the dry film, the exposed resin layer of the dry film is overlapped on the substrate on which a circuit is formed, and is attached using a laminator or the like to form a resin layer on the substrate on which a circuit is formed. Next, if the formed resin layer is subjected to heat curing, a cured product can be formed. In addition, as necessary, before heat curing, exposure and development can also be performed. The first film can be peeled before or after curing, and when exposure is performed, it can be peeled before or after exposure.

[0102] [Cured product]

[0103] The cured product of the present application is obtained by curing the above-mentioned thermosetting resin composition. The cured product of the present application can be applied to a printed wiring board, an electrical and electronic component, and the like. The cured product of the present application is easily broken, difficult to thermally expand, and difficult to warp, and thus, after sealing a plurality of chips together, the chips can be easily singulated in a process of singulating the chips one by one.

[0104] [Printed wiring board]

[0105] The printed wiring board of the present application has the cured product described above. As a method for producing the printed wiring board of the present application, for example, the thermosetting resin composition of the present application is adjusted to a viscosity suitable for a coating method by using the organic solvent described above, and is coated on a substrate by a dipping coating method, a flow coating method, a roll coating method, a bar coating method, a screen printing method, a curtain coating method, or the like, and then, under temperature conditions of 60 to 100°C, the organic solvent contained in the thermosetting resin composition is volatilized and dried (pre-drying) to form a tack-free resin layer. Further, by heating at a high temperature, the resin layer can be cured. In the case of a dry film, after being attached to the substrate with the resin layer in contact with the substrate by a laminator or the like, the first film is peeled off to form the resin layer on the substrate.

[0106] As the substrate described above, in addition to a printed wiring board or a flexible printed wiring board in which a circuit is formed in advance by copper or the like, there are substrates of a high-frequency circuit copper-clad laminate or the like using a material such as a paper phenol, a paper epoxy, a glass cloth epoxy, a glass polyimide, a glass cloth / non-woven cloth epoxy, a glass cloth / paper epoxy, a synthetic fiber epoxy, a fluororesin-polyethylene-polyphenyl ether, a polyphenylene oxide-cyanate ester, or the like, and thus, a copper-clad laminate of all grades (FR-4 or the like), a metal substrate, a polyimide film, a polyethylene terephthalate film, a polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) film, a glass substrate, a ceramic substrate, a wafer board, and the like can be cited.

[0107] When the thermosetting resin composition is dry-filmed, it is preferable to attach it to a substrate under pressure and heating conditions using a vacuum laminator or the like. By using such a vacuum laminator, even in the case of using a circuit-formed substrate, the circuit substrate is adhered even if there are irregularities on the surface of the circuit substrate, and thus, air bubbles are not mixed in, and the filling property of the recessed portions of the substrate surface is also improved. The pressure conditions are preferably around 0.1 to 2.0 MPa, and the heating conditions are preferably 40 to 120°C.

[0108] For the curing after coating the thermosetting resin composition, a hot air circulation type drying furnace, an IR furnace, a hot plate, a convection oven, or the like (a method in which a heat source having an air heating system with steam is used, and hot air in the drying machine is brought into contact by convection, and a method in which a nozzle is used to spray a support) can be used. Among them, from the viewpoint of the curing property, it is preferable to use a hot air circulation drying furnace. For example, after performing the first stage of heating at 80 to 120°C, preferably 90 to 110°C, for 10 to 60 minutes, preferably 20 to 40 minutes, and then performing the second stage of heating at 180 to 220°C, preferably 190 to 210°C, for 30 to 120 minutes, preferably 50 to 70 minutes, a cured product can be formed. By performing two-stage curing, it is preferable from the aspect that the generation of bubbles at the time of curing can be suppressed. Specifically, by causing the residual solvent to be partially volatilized in the first stage, the generation of bubbles at the time of main curing can be suppressed. Then, by further curing at a high temperature in the second stage, the curing can be completed.

[0109] [Electrical and Electronic Component]

[0110] The electrical and electronic component of the present application has the printed wiring board described above. The electrical and electronic component of the present application can be used for various electrical devices known in the past. Among them, a SAW filter is preferable.

[0111] As the substrate described above, for example, a printed wiring board, a LTCC (Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) board (hereinafter, also referred to as a low temperature co-fired ceramic board), a ceramic board, a silicon board, a metal board, or the like can be given. As the electrical and electronic component, a sensor, a MEMS, a SAW chip, or the like can be given. Among them, a pressure sensor, a vibration sensor, a SAW chip, and particularly a SAW chip can be preferably used.

[0112] When the thermosetting resin composition is dried, it is preferable to be attached to the substrate under pressure and heating conditions using a vacuum laminator or the like. By using such a vacuum laminator, even if there are irregularities in the case where a substrate on which a component is mounted is used, it is adhered to the substrate, and therefore, bubbles are not mixed, and in addition, the sealing property of the electrical and electronic component is improved. The pressure condition is preferably around 0.1 to 2.0 MPa, and in addition, the heating condition is preferably 40 to 120°C.

[0113] For the curing after coating the thermosetting resin composition, a hot air circulation type drying furnace, an IR furnace, a hot plate, a convection oven, or the like (a method in which a heat source having an air heating system with steam is used, hot air in a drying machine is brought into contact by convection, or a method in which a nozzle is used) can be used. Among them, from the viewpoint of the curability, a hot air circulation drying furnace is preferably used. For example, after heating for 10 to 60 minutes, preferably 20 to 40 minutes, at 80 to 120°C, preferably 90 to 110°C, in a first stage, and then heating and curing for 30 to 120 minutes, preferably 50 to 70 minutes, at 180 to 220°C, preferably 190 to 210°C, in a second stage, a cured product can be formed. By performing two-stage curing, it is preferable from the aspect that the generation of bubbles at the time of curing can be suppressed. Specifically, by volatilizing the residual solvent portion in the first stage, the generation of bubbles at the time of main curing can be suppressed. Then, by further curing at a high temperature in the second stage, the curing can be completed.

[0114] In addition, when the thermosetting resin composition contains, for example, a photopolymerization initiator, a photobase generator, which also has a function as a photobase generator, by performing light irradiation before the heating step, the generated base and the liquid thermosetting resin (an epoxy resin having a bisphenol skeleton, or the like) undergo an addition reaction, and thus the coating film of the thermosetting resin composition can be cured to a deeper portion.
