Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high molecular compounds, in particular to a negative photosensitive polyimide precursor resin composition and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Photosensitive polyimide (PSPI) materials have excellent thermal stability, mechanical and dielectric properties, and are widely used in advanced semiconductor packaging fields, such as stress buffer layers, passivation layers, insulating dielectric layers in multilayer substrate manufacturing. However, the traditional PSPI material needs to be cured at a high temperature of 350℃. Such a high curing temperature is easy to cause the silicon-based wafer to warp and deform, greatly limiting the wide application of the system in the wafer-level packaging field. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to develop a PSPI system that can be cured at a lower temperature (≤230℃) to meet the needs of wafer-level packaging.
[0003] In many studies of negative PSPI materials, alkaline catalysts (such as aromatic heterocyclic, photo-induced or thermal-induced alkali generators) are used to effectively reduce the reaction energy barrier, so that the precursor of PSPI can be cured at low temperature. For example, CN116520640A realizes low-temperature curing of polyamic acid ester precursor by introducing DBU organic salt. However, these alkaline additives will escape from the film during imidization, resulting in defects in the film and affecting the overall performance and quality of the film. Therefore, it is very important to develop an alkaline low-temperature curing promoter that can realize low-temperature curing and not volatilize in subsequent processes. SUMMARY
[0004] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to provide a negative photosensitive polyimide precursor resin composition and application thereof, which adds a photosensitive latent thermal-induced alkali generator in the composition. In the process of photo-induced radical polymerization, the additive participates in the crosslinking network of methacrylate, which can avoid the problem of volatilization.

[0011] 2-5 parts by weight of photosensitive latent thermal-induced alkali generator;
[0012] 0.005-5 parts by weight of a thermal polymerization inhibitor;
[0013] 0.01-2 parts by weight of an antioxidant;
[0014] wherein the structure general formula of the photosensitive latent thermal base generator is:
[0015]
[0016] In the formula, n represents the number of methylene groups, n is an integer from 2 to 10, R1 is selected from any one of an ester group or an amide group, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7 are each independently selected from any one of a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, an ethyl group, or a propyl group.
[0017] The present application realizes low-temperature curing of a high-temperature curing type PSPI system by introducing a photosensitive latent thermal base generator, effectively reduces the curing temperature of the PSPI system, and compared with traditional alkaline additives, the photosensitive latent thermal base generator of the present application has the following advantages.
[0018] Excellent light curing participation: the molecule contains a photosensitive acrylate group, which can actively participate in the cross-linked network of free radical polymerization in the light curing stage, which not only gives the composition photosensitivity, but also completely avoids the fatal problem that the traditional alkaline additive is easy to escape from the film in the subsequent post-baking process.
[0019] High-efficiency low-temperature catalytic ability: the complex organic salt (ionic bond) formed by the imidazole nitrogen heterocycle and acrylic acid in its structure remains inert at room temperature to ensure stability; upon heating dissociation, it can simultaneously release the alkaline imidazole nitrogen heterocycle with low-temperature catalytic activity and the high-polarity carboxyl group. This unique "thermal switch" mechanism precisely realizes efficient imidization catalysis of the polyimide precursor (polyamide acid ester) at low temperature (≤230℃).
[0020] Strong metal adhesion enhancement: the imidazole ring nitrogen atom and the carboxyl group produced by dissociation can have strong coordination with the surface of the copper foil, significantly improving the interfacial adhesion performance (peeling strength) between the low-temperature cured film and the copper foil.

[0176] Effect test
[0177] 1. Characterization of degree of imidization (DOI):
[0178] The PSPI adhesive was diluted and spin-coated onto a potassium bromide film. After UV exposure, imidization was performed at different temperatures. The degree of imidization (DOI) of the sample was calculated using data from IR transmission mode, which can be expressed by the following formula:
[0179]
[0180] Where S corresponds to the integral area of the absorption peak in the FT-IR spectrum. 1380 S represents the integral area of the absorption peak representing the stretching vibration of the CNC bond in the imide ring. 1500 S' represents the integral area of the absorption peak of the benzene ring skeleton. 1380 and S` 1500 This represents the integral area of the absorption peak that has been fully imidized at 350°C.
[0181] 2. Thermal performance characterization:
[0182] The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the PSPI thin film was measured using a TA Instruments DMA analyzer (Q 800). g The frequency is 1 Hz, and the heating rate is 3℃ / min. -1 .
[0183] 3. Adhesion performance characterization:
[0184] On a 90° peeling apparatus (Guangdong Aisi Instrument Technology Co., Ltd.), at a depth of 3 cm min... -1 The adhesion performance of the cured PI film to Cu was tested at a certain speed.
[0185] 4. Photolithography performance characterization:
[0186] The PI photoresist pattern was created using a 365 nm UV exposure machine (ABM / 6 / 350 / NUV / DCCD / M, ABM Inc.). The lithographic performance of PSPI, i.e., aperture resolution, was characterized using a field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM, Hitachi S-4800) equipped with an energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) instrument.
[0187] The PI films or DPI films prepared in Examples 9-14 and Comparative Examples 4-6 were characterized for their imide content, thermal properties, adhesive properties, and patterning properties. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0188] Table 1
[0189]
[0190] Compared to Comparative Examples 4-5, the PAE resin in this embodiment exhibited a higher degree of imidization after curing at 230°C following the addition of the photosensitive latent thermogenic alkali-generating agent prepared according to this invention to the PSPI adhesive. This is because the ionic bonds in its molecular structure dissociate upon heating, generating a basic imidazole nitrogen heterocycle and a highly polar carboxyl group with low-temperature catalytic activity, thus achieving low-temperature curing of the PAE resin. Secondly, this additive contains photosensitive acrylate groups, which can participate in the crosslinking network of photoinitiated free radical polymerization. The nitrogen atoms and carboxyl groups of the imidazole ring retained after curing have a coordination effect with copper, improving the adhesion between the low-temperature cured film and the copper foil.
[0191] Compared to Comparative Example 6, Examples 9 and 14 exhibited higher glass transition temperatures. This is because the terminal ester structures of PAE-1 and PAE-4 remain stable and do not undergo ring-closing reactions during the curing stage. The PI chain undergoes photocrosslinking with methacrylate crosslinking agents through active groups (maleimide, styrene, etc.), thereby improving the thermal stability of the film. Experiments also revealed that the addition of the photosensitive latent thermogenic alkali-generating agent prepared according to this invention does not affect the photolithographic properties of the photosensitive polyimide precursor resin composition.
[0192] The results show that the photosensitive polyimide precursor resin composition prepared by the present invention has good low-temperature curing and photopatterning properties, and the cured film has good thermal stability and good adhesion to copper foil, and can be applied to the field of advanced electronic packaging.
[0193] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
