Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material modification technology, and in particular to a method for modifying the surface of silica and modified silica. Background Technology

[0002] Driven by the demand for smaller, faster, and lighter electronic devices, flip-chip packaging technology, with its advantages of better heat dissipation, small size, high throughput, and low profile, has become the most attractive packaging method for chip-level packaging. Due to the significant mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients between the chip and the substrate, solder joints subjected to enormous thermomechanical stress are prone to failure during thermal cycling. Therefore, a curable resin material is typically filled between the chip and the substrate to effectively distribute the thermal stress on the solder joints and further improve the reliability of the electronic package. Research shows that applying silica filler to the underfill adhesive can effectively improve the resin's thermal expansion coefficient and thermal stability. In capillary underfill processes, the silica needs to be surface-modified to achieve good flowability and viscosity of the underfill adhesive to ensure complete filling of the chip package. Generally, the viscosity of underfill adhesives is determined by the viscosity of the polymer and the interactions between fillers and between fillers themselves. The high silica filler ratios used to achieve good thermal conductivity and coefficient of thermal expansion in underfill adhesives often result in excessively high viscosity and poor flowability. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the surface chemical structure of modified silica fillers to allow a larger proportion of filler to be incorporated into the resin without excessively reducing flowability, thus achieving a better balance between the properties of the underfill adhesive. Furthermore, complete grafting of surface silanol groups is often difficult to achieve during silica modification. Residual silanol groups on the modified silica surface easily combine with water molecules in the environment, affecting the chemical state of the modified silica surface and causing the underfill adhesive to have excessively high hygroscopicity, thus hindering its application in electronic packaging.

[0003] Currently, surface modification of silica micropowder using small-molecule silane coupling agents with different functional groups improves the coefficient of thermal expansion of the encapsulation material. However, higher grafting and filling rates lead to increased viscosity, poorer flowability, and higher moisture absorption in the encapsulation material. The modified silica micropowder also exhibits poor stability and is prone to agglomeration. Surface modification of silica micropowder using polymer long-chain grafting improves the stability of the encapsulation material and reduces moisture absorption. However, the interaction between polymer segments increases the viscosity of the encapsulation material and reduces its flowability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a silica surface modification method and modified silica with better flowability to address the technical defects of poor flowability of existing packaging materials.

[0005] To solve the above problems, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] One of the objectives of this application is to provide a method for modifying the surface of silica, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Vacuum heating treatment of silica micro powder;

[0008] A cyclic polymer modifier was sprayed onto the surface of the treated silica micropowder at room temperature.

[0009] The silica micro powder was stirred under high temperature conditions to form cyclic polymer-modified silica micro powder.

[0010] In some embodiments, in the step of vacuum heating the silica micropowder, the heating temperature is 180-200 degrees Celsius and the heating time is 3 hours.

[0011] In some embodiments, the cyclic polymer modifier is prepared as follows in the step of spraying the cyclic polymer modifier onto the surface of the treated silica micropowder at room temperature:

[0012] A silane coupling agent is added to a methanol solution of the polymer, and the mixture is stirred at 40-80°C for 10-24 hours to obtain the cyclic polymer modifier.

[0013] The molar mass ratio of the polymer to the silane coupling agent is 1:2, 1:3, or 1:4.

[0014] In some embodiments, in the step of adding a silane coupling agent to a methanol solution of the polymer and stirring at 40-80°C for 10-24 hours to obtain the cyclic polymer modifier, the polymer is one or a mixture of several polymers with functional groups on both sides, and the end-capping functional groups may be amino, carbon-carbon double bonds, ester groups, or mercapto groups.

[0015] In some embodiments, in the step of adding a silane coupling agent to a methanol solution of the polymer and stirring at 40-80°C for 10-24 hours to obtain the cyclic polymer modifier, the polymer is other polymers whose monomers contain benzene rings or six-membered rings.

[0016] In some embodiments, in the step of adding a silane coupling agent to a methanol solution of the polymer and stirring at 40-80°C for 10-24 hours to obtain the cyclic polymer modifier, the silane coupling agent is any coupling agent with an alkoxy group at one end and the other end capable of reacting with the end functional group of the polymer. For example, (3-glycidylpropoxy)trimethoxysilane.

[0017] In some embodiments, in the step of adding a silane coupling agent to a methanol solution of the polymer and stirring at 40-80°C for 10-24 hours to obtain the cyclic polymer modifier, the silane coupling agent includes trimethoxymercaptopropylsilane or trimethoxypropenylsilane.

[0018] In some embodiments, the step of stirring the above-mentioned silica micro powder under high temperature conditions to form cyclic polymer modified silica micro powder specifically includes the following steps: stirring the above-mentioned silica micro powder at a high speed of 300-700 rpm for 30-60 minutes at 100-120 degrees Celsius to obtain modified silica micro powder.

[0019] The second objective of this application is to provide a modified silica, which is prepared by the aforementioned silica surface modification method.

[0020] The third objective of this application is to provide an application of the modified silica described above in encapsulation materials.

[0021] The present application adopts the above technical solution, and its beneficial effects are as follows:

[0022] The silica surface modification method and modified silica provided in this application involve adding a synthesized cyclic polymer modifier to vacuum-heat-pretreated silica micropowder via spray. Chemical grafting is then completed under high temperature and high-speed stirring, forming an impermeable, rigid annular polymer lubricating layer on the silica surface. This results in polymer-modified silica micropowder with reduced thermal expansion coefficient, lower viscosity and moisture absorption, and improved stability. Compared to grafted linear polymer chains, the physicochemical properties of the annular polymer brush are significantly altered due to its annular topology. This change is fundamentally due to the smoothness of the cyclic polymer surface and the formation of the impermeable layer. The siloxane ends anchored to the silica surface reduce the degrees of freedom of the cyclic polymer chains, forming an impermeable layer to reduce the interaction between silica particles and the external environment. Compared with small molecule modifiers, cyclic polymer chains can more completely coat the surface of silica, improve the dispersion stability of modified silica in the resin matrix, reduce moisture absorption, and the polymer brush with low friction characteristics weakens the interaction between modified particles and between modified particles and resin, resulting in better flowability and viscosity.

In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 The following is a flowchart of the steps of the silica surface modification method provided in this embodiment, including steps S110 to S130. The specific implementation of each step is described in detail below.

[0031] Step S110: Vacuum heat treatment of silica micro powder.

[0032] Specifically, the silica micro powder is preheated in a vacuum at 180-200 degrees Celsius for 3 hours.

[0033] Step S120: Spray the cyclic polymer modifier onto the surface of the treated silica micropowder at room temperature.

[0034] In some embodiments, the step of spraying a cyclic polymer modifier onto the surface of the treated silica micropowder at room temperature is described below:

[0035] A silane coupling agent is added to a methanol solution of the polymer, and the mixture is stirred at 40-80°C for 10-24 hours to obtain the cyclic polymer modifier; wherein the molar mass ratio of the polymer to the silane coupling agent is 1:2, 1:3, or 1:4.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the preparation principle of the cyclic polymer modifier provided in this embodiment.

[0037] In this embodiment, the polymer is one or a mixture of several polymers with functional groups on both sides, and the end-capping functional groups may be amino, carbon-carbon double bonds, ester groups, or mercapto groups.

[0038] In this embodiment, the polymer is another polymer containing a benzene ring or a six-membered ring in the monomer.

[0039] For example, the polymers mentioned above can be bis(3-aminopropyl)-terminated polydimethyldiphenylsiloxane, bis(3-aminopropyl)-terminated polyterephthalic acid, bis(3-aminopropyl)-terminated polybisphenol A carbonate, or bis(3-aminopropyl)-terminated polycyclohexyl methacrylate.

[0040] In this embodiment, the silane coupling agent is any coupling agent with an alkoxy group at one end and the other end capable of reacting with the functional group of the polymer terminal group. For example, (3-glycidylpropoxy)trimethoxysilane. In this embodiment, the silane coupling agent includes trimethoxymercaptopropylsilane or trimethoxypropenesilane.

[0041] In this embodiment, the molecular structure of the cyclic polymer modifier is as follows:

[0042]

[0043] It is understandable that the physicochemical properties of cyclic polymers are significantly altered compared to grafted linear polymer chains due to their cyclic topology. This change is fundamentally caused by the smoothness of the cyclic polymer surface and the formation of an impermeable layer. The siloxane ends anchored to the silica surface reduce the degrees of freedom of the cyclic polymer chains, forming an impermeable layer to reduce the interaction between silica particles and the external environment. Compared to small-molecule modifiers, cyclic polymer chains are more capable of completely coating the silica surface, improving the dispersion stability of modified silica in the resin matrix, reducing moisture absorption, and the low-friction polymer brush weakens the interaction between modified particles and between modified particles and the resin, resulting in better flowability and viscosity.

[0044] Step S130: Stir the above silica micro powder under high temperature conditions to form cyclic polymer modified silica micro powder.

[0045] In this embodiment, the following steps are specifically included: stirring the above-mentioned silica micro powder at a high speed of 300-700 rpm for 30-60 minutes at 100-120 degrees Celsius to obtain modified silica micro powder.

[0046] The silica surface modification method and modified silica provided in this application involve adding a synthesized cyclic polymer modifier to vacuum-heat-pretreated silica micropowder via spray. Chemical grafting is then completed under high temperature and high-speed stirring, forming an impermeable, rigid annular polymer lubricating layer on the silica surface. This results in polymer-modified silica micropowder with reduced thermal expansion coefficient, lower viscosity and moisture absorption, and improved stability. Compared to grafted linear polymer chains, the physicochemical properties of the annular polymer brush are significantly altered due to its annular topology. This change is fundamentally due to the smoothness of the cyclic polymer surface and the formation of the impermeable layer. The siloxane ends anchored to the silica surface reduce the degrees of freedom of the cyclic polymer chains, forming an impermeable layer to reduce the interaction between silica particles and the external environment. Compared with small molecule modifiers, cyclic polymer chains can more completely coat the surface of silica, improve the dispersion stability of modified silica in the resin matrix, reduce moisture absorption, and the polymer brush with low friction characteristics weakens the interaction between modified particles and between modified particles and resin, resulting in better flowability and viscosity.
