[0030] The following embodiments and comparative examples are provided to illustrate the effects of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments.

[0031] The products of each embodiment and comparative example were evaluated according to the following method.

[0032] Dielectric constant Dk and dielectric loss Df: The above-mentioned resin film was heated to 200°C for 90 minutes to form a cured film. The cured film was cut into pieces with a length of 10 mm and a width of 7 mm. The dielectric constant (Dk, εr) and dielectric loss (Df, Tanδ) of the material under a 10 GHz signal were determined according to the standard test method of IPC-TM-650 (Method 2.5.5.3).

[0033] Coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) (xy plane): The coefficient of thermal expansion of the material in the XY plane, i.e., XY CTE (ppm / ℃), was determined using a thermomechanical analyzer (TMA) according to the standard test method of IPC-TM-650 2.4.24. The test temperature range was 40℃~120℃.

[0034] Coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) (z-plane direction): The coefficient of thermal expansion in the z-plane of the material, i.e., Z CTE (ppm / ℃), was determined using a thermomechanical analyzer (TMA) according to the standard test method of IPC-TM-650 2.4.24. The test temperature range was 50℃~260℃.

[0035] Glass transition temperature (Tg) (°C): The glass transition temperature Tg (°C) of the material was determined using a thermomechanical analyzer (TMA) according to the standard test method of ASTM E1545.

[0036] Resin sheet lamination and curing: A glass cloth epoxy resin substrate with copper foil was prepared as the inner layer substrate, and copper lamination was applied to both sides (Nanya Corporation's "NPG-180INBK"). The surface copper foil of this inner layer substrate was roughened. Using a vacuum laminator (Nikko-Material Corporation's "V-130"), the resin composition was bonded to the inner layer substrate under the following conditions: pressure reduction to below 1 hPa for 30 seconds, followed by pressing for 60 seconds at 100°C and 100 N. Subsequently, it was heated in an oven at 130°C for 30 minutes, and then transferred to an oven at 165°C for 30 minutes. Through the above heating, the resin composition was cured to obtain "Evaluation Substrate A".

[0037] Descaling treatment: To roughen the cured resin substrate, evaluation substrate A was immersed in a DuPont Sweller 7810 at 70°C for 10 minutes. Next, it was immersed in a DuPont Promoter 7820 at 85°C for 10 minutes. Finally, it was immersed in a DuPont Neutralizer 7831 at 40°C for 5 minutes to obtain the descaling treated "evaluation substrate B".

[0038] Formation of the plated conductor layer: To form a copper-plated layer (second conductor layer) on the surface of evaluation substrate B, evaluation substrate B was immersed in an electroless plating solution containing PdCl2 at 40°C for 5 minutes, followed by immersion in an electroless copper plating solution at 25°C for 20 minutes. The resulting evaluation substrate B was annealed at 150°C for 30 minutes, and then subjected to copper sulfate electrolytic plating to form a copper-plated layer with a thickness of 30 μm. The evaluation substrate B with the formed copper-plated layer was annealed at 190°C for 60 minutes. The resulting substrate is referred to as "evaluation substrate C".

[0039] Roughness Ra (nm): The arithmetic mean roughness Ra of the evaluation substrate B was measured using a laser conjugate focal microscope (Keyence VK-X3000) under a 50x lens. Ten points were randomly selected to measure the roughness Ra.

[0040] Peel strength (lbf / in): A 10 mm wide and 100 mm long cut is made in the copper plating layer of the evaluation substrate C. One end of the cut is peeled off and clamped with a jig. The load when peeling 35 mm vertically at a speed of 50 mm / min is measured using a tensile testing machine (TSE "AC-50C-SL") at room temperature (25°C).

[0041] <Examples 1-5, Comparative Example 1>

[0042] The resin compositions shown in Table 1 were dissolved in a solvent (toluene) to form a liquid (varnish-like) resin composition. This liquid was then coated onto a support (PET release film) using a die coater. After drying to form a film layer, its dielectric constant, dielectric loss, coefficient of thermal expansion, glass transition temperature, peel strength, and chemical resistance were evaluated. The results are detailed in Table 1. Comparing the results of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 in Table 1, the following conclusions can be drawn: In the resin compositions of Examples 1-5, olefin compounds were introduced into the resin system of polyphenylene ether resin and olefin copolymer. Furthermore, the combination of cyclopentadiene-styrene copolymer resin, triallyl isocyanurate, and maleimide resin resulted in resin compositions exhibiting good performance in terms of roughness, peel strength, and electrical properties. For example, the preferred Example 1 showed a dielectric constant (Dk) of 2.98 and a dielectric loss (Df) of 0.0016.
