Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of photoresist resins, and in particular relates to a negative photosensitive polyimide resin and a preparation method thereof, a photoresist composition and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the process of forming the internal structure of semiconductor devices, photolithography technology is needed. Photolithography can use exposure and development to depict geometric structures on the photoresist layer, and then form various circuit structures. Photoresists can be divided into positive photoresists and negative photoresists according to the pattern type.

[0003] Among advanced packaging technologies, a fan-out wafer packaging technology has attracted widespread attention. This technology can extend the chip I / O structure outside the chip, thereby greatly expanding the design freedom and integrating multiple chips with different functions into one package to achieve system-level packaging. Among them, the redistribution layer is the core structure of the fan-out wafer packaging.

[0004] Polyimide (PI) is a polymer material with good dielectric properties, high mechanical strength and strong heat resistance, and is widely used in electrical, aerospace and automotive industries. Especially in the semiconductor field, PI, as an important insulating material, is widely used as stress buffer layer, dielectric insulation layer, surface passivation layer of integrated circuits, and surface planarization layer and protective layer of redistribution layer in wafer-level packaging.

[0005] In the formation process of the redistribution layer, a photosensitive polyimide photoresist material is required to be used as a Cu / Ti alloy sputtering substrate and patterning tool, and then remain in the packaging structure as a stress buffer layer and a dielectric insulation layer.

[0006] The curing temperature of traditional photosensitive polyimide is generally high, all above 300°C, but this cannot meet the requirements of current advanced semiconductor packaging processes. At such temperatures, the wafer may warp, the low-melting-point solder balls may crack, fall off or recrystallize, and high-temperature curing will produce very large residual stress, which may damage the underlying stacked structure, affect the dielectric properties, and cause device function degradation or even damage.

[0007] Therefore, in order to meet the requirements of the current advanced semiconductor packaging process, it is necessary to research and develop a negative photosensitive polyimide photoresist with low-temperature curing function. Summary of the invention

[0209] Example 23: Photolithography curing process and copper adhesion test

[0210] Photolithography development and curing

[0211] About 5 g of a negative photosensitive polyimide photoresist selected from the aforementioned P1-P24 is dropped onto a 4-inch silicon wafer at a time, spin-coated at a spin-coating speed of 1800 rpm, and baked on a hot plate at 100°C for 180 seconds to remove most of the solvent. The film thickness uniformity is measured using a profilometer to ensure that it is within the range of ±0.1 μm. Then, a stepper photolithography machine was used for photolithography. After the photolithography was completed, standard N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) developer was used for development at 25°C for 120 seconds. After development, the surface was rinsed clean with deionized water and nitrogen. The film was baked on a hot plate at 110°C for 180 seconds to allow the film surface to quickly undergo a cross-linking reaction to prevent the pattern from flowing. The film was cured in an oven under a nitrogen atmosphere. The temperature curve was as follows: heating from 50°C to 110°C (heating rate 2°C / min), maintained at 110°C for 30 minutes, then heated from 110°C to 180°C (heating rate 2°C / min), maintained at 180°C for 60 minutes, cooled from 180°C to 80°C (cooling rate 1°C / min), and finally cooled from 80°C to 40°C (cooling rate 1°C / min), and the curing was completed.

[0213] Adhesion test with copper

[0214] 5 g of a negative photosensitive polyimide photoresist selected from the above P1-P24 is dripped onto a 4-inch silicon wafer after copper plating by physical vapor deposition (PVD), and spin-coated at a spin-coating speed of 1800 rpm, and then baked on a hot plate at 110°C for 180 seconds to remove most of the solvent, and cured in an oven under a nitrogen atmosphere, and the temperature curve is as follows: heating from 50°C to 110°C (heating rate 2°C / min), holding for 30 minutes, then heating from 110°C to 180°C (heating rate 2°C / min), holding for 60 minutes, cooling from 120°C to 80°C (cooling rate 1°C / min), and finally cooling from 80°C to 40°C (cooling rate 1°C / min); The surface of the solidified photoresist is plated with a layer of copper by PVD; the spin coating and pre-baking steps are repeated once, and the cooled silicon wafer is placed in a stepper photolithography machine; the exposed silicon wafer is developed at 25° C. using a standard N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) developer for 120 seconds, and the developed silicon wafer is placed in 5% sulfuric acid for 10 seconds, rinsed with water, and blown dry with nitrogen; then the silicon wafer is electroplated for 10 minutes (copper plating) with a current density of 1; the electroplated silicon wafer is washed and blown dry, and then immersed in a degumming solution (NMP) for degumming until the surface photoresist is completely removed; the degummed silicon wafer is washed and blown dry, and a transparent tape is attached to the electroplated pattern, and the tape is instantly torn off, and the ratio of the number of patterns that are stuck to the total number of patterns is the stripping rate.

[0215] The test results of x and n values ​​of the polymer resin in the photoresist of some embodiments and comparative examples are shown in Table 5 below:

[0218] The photolithography curing process and copper adhesion test results and corresponding analysis results are as follows:

[0219] Photoresists P1-P7 can display clear and complete patterns after photolithography and curing at 180°C. The film thickness is controlled at 1μm~10μm, the minimum line width is stable at around 5μm, the pattern stripping rate of 5μm~25μm is less than 15%, and the pattern stripping rate of 25μm~160μm is less than 0.7%. There is no brittleness of the photoresist film after the photolithography curing process.

[0220] Photoresist P8 produced a small amount of cracks after exposure, and the stability of the photoresist after negative matching was slightly reduced.

[0221] The viscosity of the polyamic acid in Example 9 is significantly increased compared with Example 1. During the compounding of the photoresist P9, slight cracking occurs due to stress during post-baking.

[0222] Photoresist P10 can produce a pattern after alignment and exposure. The pattern is clearer after development, but the development speed is slightly faster.

[0223] After exposure and development of photoresist P11, the sensitivity of some patterns is low and the accuracy is slightly low.

[0224] The photoresist P22 has a complete and clear photolithography pattern and is fully developed within 1 minute.

[0225] In Comparative Example 1, when the polyamic acid solid was redissolved, the 30% solution had a high viscosity, and after adding the mixed solution of the dehydrating agent and the catalyst, it was in a green gel state, which affected the processing performance of the photoresist and reduced the film thickness after the photolithography curing process. Therefore, compared with any one of the photoresists P1-P7, the stability of the subsequent process of the photoresist P15 obtained in Comparative Example 8 was affected.

[0226] In Comparative Example 2, after pouring dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, the viscosity of the solution increased sharply, and the solution appeared as white turbid agglomerates with extremely poor uniformity, resulting in that the photoresist P16 obtained in Comparative Example 9 could not be used for photolithography.

[0227] Compared with any of the photoresists P1-P7, the photoresist P17 obtained in Comparative Example 10 has a significantly reduced contrast ratio after curing and cannot show a clear and complete pattern.

[0228] Compared with any of the photoresists P1-P7, the photoresist P18 obtained in Comparative Example 11 has a too small film thickness of only about 0.8 μm after using the photolithography curing process.

[0229] The photoresist P19 obtained in Comparative Example 12 was rapidly dissolved in the developer in both the exposed area and the non-exposed area, and no pattern could be revealed.

[0230] In the process of adding photosensitive tertiary amine in Comparative Example 6, the viscosity of the solution first increased and became close to a gel state, and then became a clear and flowing state, resulting in poor contrast and unclear pattern of the photoresist P20 obtained in Comparative Example 13 after development.

[0231] The photoresist P21 obtained in Comparative Example 14 has a low contrast after development, and the thickness difference between the exposed area and the non-exposed area is too low.

[0232] The mechanical properties of the photoresist film of the photoresist P23 obtained in Comparative Example 15 were greatly reduced after the photolithography curing process, resulting in brittleness. The development rate in the developer was too fast to be controlled, and a large number of cracks occurred in the pattern after the photolithography curing process.

[0233] In summary, the negative photosensitive polyimide photoresist of the present invention has excellent low-temperature curing properties and adhesion to copper, and better meets the application requirements of semiconductor packaging materials.
