This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2023-0123315, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on September 15, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background Technology

[0002] Because the interlayer insulating film or surface protective film of semiconductor devices requires excellent mechanical properties and high heat resistance, polyimide binders with excellent physical properties are used.

[0003] As miniaturization technology expands its application in FAB (fabrication) processes, packaging technology is also undergoing significant changes to manufacture high-performance, thin, and small packages.

[0004] With the evolution of semiconductor post-processing technologies, the fan-out wafer-level package (FO-WLP) market has recently experienced continuous growth, and the demand for photosensitive polyimide (PSPI) for redistribution layers (RDLs) is increasing significantly. PSPIs can be cured at low temperatures and have excellent physical properties.

[0005] Negative photosensitive polyimides possess relatively good mechanical properties, but achieving high resolution is difficult. While positive photosensitive polyimides can achieve relatively high resolution, obtaining satisfactory mechanical properties is challenging.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to develop photosensitive polyimide materials that satisfy both high resolution and mechanical properties.

[0007] Specifically, there is a need to develop methods for deriving and evaluating factors that have a major impact on the reliability of insulating films made from photosensitive polyimides. For example, there is a need to develop high-reliability photosensitive resin compositions for use in semiconductor devices manufactured through thermal cycling (TC) testing, and insulating films containing them.

This Young's modulus can be achieved due to the polyimide resin contained in the membrane.

This elongation at break can be achieved due to the polyimide resin contained in the membrane.

[0078] If the Young's modulus, tensile strength, and elongation at break of the membrane are within the above ranges, the required physical properties of the insulating film containing the photosensitive resin composition can be achieved.

[0207]

[0208]

[0209] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the weight-average molecular weight of the polyimide resin can be from 3,000 g / mol to 70,000 g / mol. Specifically, the weight-average molecular weight of the polyimide resin can be in the range of 5,000 g / mol to 50,000 g / mol. If the weight-average molecular weight of the polyimide resin is less than 3,000 g / mol, the prepared insulating film may be easily damaged or have reduced adhesion. Furthermore, if the weight-average molecular weight of the polyimide resin exceeds 70,000 g / mol, the sensitivity may be reduced, and residues (e.g., scum) may remain on the insulating film.

[0210] [Insulating film]

[0211] An exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides an insulating film comprising the above-described photosensitive resin composition or its cured product.

[0212] The insulating film may contain a photosensitive resin composition as is.

[0213] The insulating film may contain a cured product of a photosensitive resin composition.

[0214] The light source for curing the photosensitive resin composition according to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure can be, for example, a mercury vapor arc, a carbon arc, an Xe arc, etc., that emits light with a wavelength of 250 nm to 450 nm, but is not limited thereto.

[0215] If necessary, the insulating film can be heated after the photosensitive resin composition has been cured.

[0216] Heating can be performed using heating devices such as hot plates, hot air circulators, infrared furnaces, etc., and can be carried out at 180°C to 250°C or 190°C to 220°C.

[0217] Because insulating films exhibit excellent chemical resistance and mechanical properties, they can be specifically used as insulating films for semiconductor devices, interlayer insulating films for redistribution layers, etc. Furthermore, insulating films can be used as photoresists, photoresists, top solder resists, etc.

[0218] The insulating film may include a support or a substrate.

[0219] There are no particular limitations on the support or substrate, and it can be any support or substrate known in the art. For example, a substrate for electronic components, a substrate on which a specific wiring pattern is formed, etc., can be used. The substrate can be, for example, silicon; silicon nitride; a metal substrate, such as titanium, tantalum, palladium, tungsten titanate, copper, chromium, iron, aluminum, gold, nickel, etc.; a glass plate; etc. The wiring pattern can be made of, for example, copper, solder, chromium, aluminum, nickel, gold, etc., but is not limited to these. Specifically, the support or substrate can be a silicon wafer.

[0220] There are no particular restrictions on the coating method, but methods such as spraying, roller coating, and spin coating can be used. Spin coating is generally widely used. Furthermore, after film formation, some residual solvent can be removed under reduced pressure.

[0221] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the thickness of the insulating film can be from 1 μm to 100 μm. If the thickness of the insulating film meets the above range, the insulating film can have the excellent chemical resistance and mechanical properties contemplated in this specification. The thickness of the insulating film can be measured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM).

[0222] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the insulating film comprising the photosensitive resin composition can have a yield of 99% or higher. The yield of the insulating film refers to the ratio of the number of insulating films evaluated as having good quality to the total number of insulating films prepared. Good quality can mean that when the insulating film undergoes a thermal cycling (TC) test subject to thermal shock, the insulating film exhibits an increase in resistance of less than 50% compared to before the TC test. In other words, the insulating film comprising the photosensitive resin composition can have a yield of 99% or higher as defined by Equation 2 after the TC test of the insulating film.

[0223] [Equation 2]

[0224] Yield (%) = (Np1 / Nt1) × 100

[0225] In equation 2,

[0226] Np1 represents the number of insulating films assessed as having good quality, and

[0227] Nt1 represents the total number of insulating films prepared.

[0228] Here, "insulating film" refers to an evaluation substrate formed on a substrate on which copper wiring is formed, and may also mean a substrate including an insulating film made of the same photosensitive resin composition as the "film sample" prepared for evaluating physical properties. Furthermore, apart from pattern formation, the conditions for forming the insulating film included in the evaluation substrate may be the same as the conditions for forming the aforementioned film sample.

[0229] For example, an "evaluation substrate" can refer to a substrate on which an insulating film pattern with a thickness of 5 μm to 10 μm has been formed by forming copper wiring on a silicon wafer, coating the copper wiring with a photosensitive resin composition, and then developing it after exposure and curing. After forming a flux coating and solder balls on the insulating film pattern, electrodes can be connected.

[0230] Here, TC testing can refer to thermal cycling (TC) testing, which involves applying thermal shock by repeating 700 cycles of 30 minutes each at low temperature (-55°C) and high temperature (125°C).

[0231] Since the insulating film according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a photosensitive resin composition exhibiting high elongation, low sensitivity and excellent adhesion to the substrate, it can suppress wafer warpage within a semiconductor device using the insulating film and provide excellent reliability.

[0232] [Semiconductor Devices]

[0233] An exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides a semiconductor device including the insulating film.

[0234] In addition to the insulating film, semiconductor devices may also include various components commonly used in the art.

[0235] In one exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, the semiconductor device including the insulating film can have a yield of 99% or higher. The yield of a semiconductor device refers to the ratio of the number of semiconductor devices evaluated as having good quality to the total number of semiconductor devices manufactured. "Good" can mean that when a semiconductor device undergoes a thermal cycling (TC) test subject to thermal shock, the semiconductor device exhibits an increase in resistance of less than 50% compared to before the TC test. In other words, the semiconductor device including the insulating film can have a yield of 99% or higher, as defined by Equation 3, after the TC test of the "semiconductor device".

[0236] [Equation 3]

[0237] Yield (%) = (Np2 / Nt2) × 100

[0238] In equation 3,

[0239] Np2 is the number of semiconductor devices evaluated as having good quality, and

[0240] Nt2 represents the total number of semiconductor devices fabricated.

[0241] "Semiconductor device" can refer to a semiconductor device comprising an insulating film pattern with copper wiring formed on a silicon wafer, and can also refer to a semiconductor device comprising an insulating film prepared from the same photosensitive resin composition as a "film sample" prepared for evaluating physical properties. Except for the patterning, the conditions for forming the insulating film included in the semiconductor device can be the same as the conditions for forming the film sample.

[0242] Furthermore, thermal cycling (TC) testing of semiconductor devices can be performed under the same conditions as TC testing of insulating films.

[0243] Since a semiconductor device according to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure comprises a photosensitive resin composition exhibiting high elongation, low sensitivity and excellent adhesion to the substrate, warping of the wafer within the semiconductor device using the insulating film can be prevented, and excellent reliability can be provided.

[0244] The present disclosure is described in detail below by way of examples. However, embodiments of the present disclosure may be modified in several different forms, and the scope of the present disclosure should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described below. The embodiments provided in this specification are intended to describe the present disclosure more fully to those skilled in the art.

Specifically, the prepared photosensitive resin compositions were spin-coated onto a substrate. Subsequently, soft baking (SOB) was performed, followed by post-baking (PB) after exposure at an appropriate sensitivity. The film preparation conditions are as follows.

[0288] SOB 105℃ / 120 seconds, PB 200℃ / 1 hour, thickness 10 μm

[0289] Exposure: 200 mJ / cm 2 Up to 900 mJ / cm2 i-line stepper

[0290] Test Example - Measurement and Evaluation of Membrane Physical Properties

[0291] The physical properties of the membranes obtained in Preparation Examples 2-1 to 2-7 were measured by the following methods, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0292] Test Example 1 - Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE)

[0293] The membrane was prepared to a size of 5 mm × 20 mm, and the sample was mounted using an accessory. The thickness of the membrane sample was set to 10 μm, and the length was set to 16 mm. After a first heating process by setting the force on the stretched membrane sample to 0.01 N and heating the sample to a temperature of 50 °C or higher to 100 °C or lower at a heating rate of 10 °C / min, the change in thermal expansion during cooling at a rate of 10 °C / min from 100 °C or lower to 50 °C or higher was measured using a TMA (TA's Q400). The results are shown in Table 2.

[0294] Test Example 2 - Elongation at break, tensile strength and Young's modulus

[0295] After preparing membrane samples with dimensions of 10 mm × 100 mm and a thickness of 10 μm using the membranes prepared in Preparation Examples 2-1 to 2-7, the elongation at break (%), tensile strength (MPa), and Young's modulus (GPa) of each membrane sample were measured at room temperature using a universal testing machine (UTM) at a rate of 5 mm / min. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0296] Test Example 3 - Calculation of Thermal Cycling Parameters

[0297] The thermal cycling parameters (I) are calculated based on the coefficient of thermal expansion, Young's modulus, tensile strength, and elongation at break of the membrane samples measured in Test Example 1 and Test Example 2, according to Equation 1. TC The evaluation results are presented in Table 2.

[0301] Test Example 4 - Reliability Assessment (TC Test)

[0302] Prepare the photosensitive resin compositions obtained from the above preparation examples 1-1 to 1-7.

[0303] After forming copper wiring on a silicon wafer, the photosensitive resin compositions of Preparation Examples 1-1 to 1-7 were each coated onto the copper wiring. Then, an insulating film pattern with a thickness of 10 μm was formed by exposure, curing, and development. Subsequently, a flux coating and solder balls were formed on the insulating film pattern, and an evaluation substrate containing the photosensitive resin compositions obtained in Preparation Examples 1-1 to 1-7 was prepared by connecting electrodes. The conditions for forming the insulating film pattern are as follows.

[0304] SOB 105℃ / 120 seconds, PB 200℃ / 1 hour, thickness 10 μm

[0305] Exposure: 200 mJ / cm 2 Up to 900 mJ / cm 2 i-line stepper

[0306] Development: 23°C, 2.38 wt% TMAH (tetramethylammonium hydroxide) solution, immersion, rinse with deionized water.

[0307] The reliability of the substrate (i.e., the insulating film containing the photosensitive resin composition) was evaluated by performing a thermal cycling (TC) test, which involves repeating 700 cycles of 30 minutes each at low temperature (-55°C) and high temperature (125°C).

[0308] Specifically, when the yield rate defined by Equation 2 is 99% or higher after TC testing, the insulating film is evaluated as having good quality.

[0309] [Equation 2]

[0310] Yield (%) = (Np1 / Nt1) × 100

[0311] In equation 2,

[0312] Np1 represents the number of insulating films assessed as having good quality, and

[0313] Nt1 represents the total number of insulating films prepared.

[0314] After TC testing, a yield rate of 99% or higher is indicated as "O", and a yield rate below 99% is indicated as "X".

[0315] [Table 2]

[0316]

[0317] Referring to Table 1, the films according to Examples 1 to 5 exhibit good heat resistance with thermal expansion measurement (C, CTE) values ​​of 60 ppm / °C or lower, as well as satisfactory physical properties required for insulating films used in semiconductor devices, such as elongation at break, tensile strength, Young's modulus, etc. They also show thermal cycling indexes (IT) of 1000 or higher after thermal cycling (TC) testing. TC A high yield and a positive thermal cycling index (I0.05) indicate excellent reliability of the insulating film. On the other hand, the thermal cycling index (I0.05) also demonstrates good performance. TC The insulating films prepared from Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, whose values ​​were below 1000, had poor reliability, with a yield rate of less than 99% after thermal cycling tests.

[0318] In other words, it was determined that the photosensitive resin compositions of Examples 1 to 5 according to this disclosure can form insulating films with good elongation, sensitivity, and / or adhesion to the substrate, and TC testing confirmed that the insulating films containing the photosensitive resin compositions also have excellent reliability. It can be seen that the photosensitive resin compositions according to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure can form highly reliable insulating films in a simpler manner by measuring specific physical properties of the film samples and evaluating evaluation factors.

[0319] Furthermore, it can be seen that the insulating film and semiconductor device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure can have high reliability because they contain a photosensitive resin composition having high elongation, low sensitivity and excellent adhesion to the substrate, wherein warping of the wafer in the semiconductor device using the insulating film is prevented.

[0320] The foregoing detailed description illustrates and describes this disclosure. Furthermore, the foregoing description merely illustrates and describes specific exemplary embodiments of this disclosure. As mentioned above, this disclosure can be used in various different combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be changed or modified within the scope of the concept of this disclosure described in this specification, within the scope equivalent to that described in this specification, and / or within the scope of technology or knowledge in related fields.
