Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a diamine monomer with a tert-butyl side chain, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of polymer compounds and their preparation technology. Background Technology

[0002] Polyimide is an important class of high-performance materials, initially developed for the aerospace industry. Its high thermal stability, coupled with excellent mechanical and electrical properties, makes it attractive in the microelectronics and optoelectronics industries as an interlayer dielectric, flexible circuit substrate, and stress buffer. With the miniaturization and weight reduction of microelectronic devices, low dielectric constant has become a key factor in minimizing power loss and signal transmission delay in microelectronic applications. However, commercially available polyimide films have relatively high dielectric constants (approximately 3.4-4.0 at 1 MHz), which is insufficient to meet application requirements. Furthermore, high-temperature processing is required in the fabrication of optoelectronic devices, necessitating good heat resistance in the polymer used as the substrate. On the other hand, the rigid structure of polyimide and its poor solubility due to strong intermolecular forces have been a technical challenge in its practical applications. Therefore, the vigorous development of advanced polyimide materials with good solubility, low dielectric constant, and high-temperature resistance is of great significance.

[0003] Existing research has shown that introducing twisted, non-coplanar, or large dangling structures into the polymer backbone can improve the thermal stability and solubility of polymers. Polyimides containing large steric hindrance and non-coplanar structures can disrupt the rigid chain structure and intermolecular forces of the backbone, hindering the stacking of molecular chains and thus yielding highly soluble polyimide materials. For example, Wang Chengyi et al. reported a method for preparing soluble polyimides with asymmetric meta-structures substituted with difluoromethylbenzene (CN202011579258.3); Liu Gang et al. developed an aromatic diamine monomer containing fluorene and pyridine heterocyclic structures that can effectively improve the solubility of polyimides in specific solvents (CN202011033259.8); and Huang Xiaohua et al. synthesized soluble polyimides containing tert-butyl and morpholino groups (CN104927054A). However, these existing technologies still suffer from performance degradation under humid and hot conditions, namely, high water absorption rate leads to an increase in dielectric constant. Therefore, it is essential to improve the dielectric stability of polyimide under humid and hot conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a diamine monomer with tert-butyl groups in its side chains. This diamine monomer contains multiple benzene ring structures connected by ether bonds, and each benzene ring carries multiple tert-butyl groups with large free volumes. The benzene rings, with their highly symmetrical planar six-membered ring structure, provide a rigid framework for the polyimide. This rigid structure effectively hinders the disordered movement and deformation of the molecular chains at high temperatures. The ether bonds impart a certain degree of flexibility to the molecular chains, while the tert-butyl groups enhance the solubility of the polyimide. When this diamine is used to make polyimide, it improves the polyimide's solubility, film-forming properties, and dielectric properties, while reducing the dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and water absorption rate, thus possessing significant potential application value in the microelectronics field.

[0005] The specific technical solution of this invention is as follows: A diamine monomer with a tert-butyl side chain has the structure shown in formula (1): In formula (1), A is hydrogen, carboxyl, dimethyl, oxygen, phenyl or ethyl; when A is oxygen, it forms a carbonyl group.

[0008] In equation (1), the positions of -NH2 and -R1 on the benzene ring are arbitrary.

[0009] Preferably, the diamine monomer containing a tert-butyl group in its side chain is selected from any one of the compounds shown in formulas (1-1) to (1-12): The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned diamine monomer containing tert-butyl group in the side chain, the method comprising the following steps: (1-1) The compound with the structure shown in formula (2), the compound with the structure shown in formula (3), organic solvent I and a basic substance are mixed and reacted to obtain the intermediate product with the structure shown in formula (4); (1-2) Under a hydrogen atmosphere, the intermediate product with the structure shown in formula (4), organic solvent II and catalyst are mixed and reacted to obtain the above diamine monomer with tert-butyl side chain.

[0016] Furthermore, in step (1-1), after the reaction, the reaction solution is cooled, and then the reaction solution is added to water to precipitate the solid. The solid is collected, dried, and the intermediate product is obtained. The mass ratio of the reaction solution to water is 1:(3~10), for example, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8, 1:9, 1:10.

[0017] Furthermore, in steps (1-2), the catalyst is a commonly used catalyst for hydrogenation reactions, such as a noble metal catalyst like palladium on carbon. The amount of catalyst used is 1-5 wt% of the mass of the compound with the structure shown in formula (3), for example, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, or 5%.

[0018] Furthermore, in steps (1-2), organic solvent II is N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N-methylpyrrolidone, etc. Organic solvent II is the reaction medium, and its amount can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0019] Furthermore, in steps (1-2), the hydrogen pressure is maintained at 0.2–0.4 MPa throughout the reaction. If the pressure falls below this range, hydrogen is introduced into the reactor to maintain the required pressure. The reaction ends when the hydrogen pressure no longer decreases. The reaction time is generally 4–8 hours, for example, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, or 8 hours.

[0020] Furthermore, in steps (1-2), the reaction temperature is 70-90℃, for example, 70℃, 75℃, 80℃, 85℃, or 90℃.

[0022] The present invention also provides a polyamic acid ester, wherein the polyamic acid ester is obtained by reacting at least one amine compound and at least one tetracarboxylic acid derivative to obtain polyamic acid, and then the polyamic acid is reacted with an esterification agent to obtain polyamic acid ester (PAE); wherein the amine compound includes a diamine, the diamine includes diamine A, and the diamine A is at least one of the above-mentioned diamine monomers having a tert-butyl side chain of formula (1).

[0023] Furthermore, the content of diamine A shown in formula (1) in the total diamine is 30-90 mol%, for example 30 mol%, 35 mol%, 40 mol%, 45 mol%, 50 mol%, 55 mol%, 60 mol%, 65 mol%, 70 mol%, 75 mol%, 80 mol%, 85 mol%, 90 mol, preferably 50-90 mol, more preferably 60-70 mol.

[0024] Furthermore, the diamine further includes diamine B, which is a diamine that does not have the structure shown in formula (1). Examples of diamine B include p-phenylenediamine, 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid, 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene, 1,5-naphthyldiamine, 4,4'-diaminobiphenyl, 3,3'-dimethyl-4,4'-diaminobiphenyl, 3,3'-dimethoxy-4,4'-diaminobiphenyl, 3,3'-dihydroxybenzidine, 3,3'-dichlorobenzidine, 4,4'-bis(4-aminophenoxy)biphenyl, diaminodiphenylmethane, 4, The first one or more of the following: 4'-diaminodiphenyl ether, 2,2-diaminodiphenylpropane, 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone, diaminobenzophenone, 1,3-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene, 4,4'-bis(4-aminophenoxy)diphenyl sulfone, 1,2-diaminoethane, 1,3-diaminopropane, 1,4-diaminobutane, 1,6-diaminohexane, and 1,3-bis(3-aminopropyl)tetramethyldisiloxane (SIDA).

[0025] Furthermore, the amine compound also includes a monoamine selected from one or more of aniline, 3-aminophenol, 4-ethynylaniline, phenylethynyltrifluoromethylaniline, 2-phenylethynylaniline, 4-aminobenzoic acid, 4-aminophenylmaleimide, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, 4-(trifluoromethyl)aniline, 2-aminothiazole, and 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine.

[0026] Furthermore, the content of the diamine in the amine compound is 90-100 mol%, for example, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100%.

[0027] Furthermore, the molar amount of the monoamine is 0 to 10 mol% of the total molar amount of the amine compound, for example, 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, preferably 0 to 5%, and more preferably 2 to 5%.

The dianhydride, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic dianhydride, 1,2,3,4-cyclopentanetetracarboxylic dianhydride, 1,2,3,4-cyclohexanetetracarboxylic dianhydride, 2,3,5-tricarboxy-cyclopentylacetic dianhydride, 3,4-dicarboxy-1-cyclohexylsuccinic dianhydride, 3,4-dicarboxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthalesuccinic dianhydride, and bicyclo[3.3.0]octane-2,4,6,8-tetracarboxylic dianhydride, etc.

[0031] Furthermore, the content of the tetracarboxylic acid derivative A accounts for 80-100 mol% of the total amount of the tetracarboxylic acid derivative, for example, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100%.

[0032] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the tetracarboxylic acid derivative to the total diamine is 1:0.8 to 1:1, for example, 1:0.8, 1:0.9, or 1:1.0. The closer this molar ratio is to 1:1, the larger the molecular weight of the resulting polyamic acid. If the molecular weight of the polyamic acid is too small, it will affect the strength of the coating film; conversely, if the molecular weight of the polyamic acid is too large, the viscosity of the resulting polyimide will become too high, resulting in poor workability and uniformity of the coating film.

[0033] Furthermore, the weight-average molecular weight of the obtained polyamic acid is 5,000 to 30,000, for example 5,000, 6,000, 7,000, 8,000, 9,000, 10,000, 11,000, 12,000, 13,000, 14,000, 15,000, 16,000, 17,000, 18,000, 19,000, 20,000, 21,000, 22,000, 23,000, 24,000, 25,000, 26,000, 27,000, 28,000, 29,000, 30,000, preferably 10,000 to 150,000.

[0034] Furthermore, the amine compound and the tetracarboxylic acid derivative react in a solvent. The solvent used in the above reaction is not particularly limited as long as it can dissolve the generated polyamic acid. The solvent can be any one or more of N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-methylcaprolactam, 2-pyrrolidone, N-ethylpyrrolidone, N-ethylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, tetramethylurea, pyridine, dimethyl sulfone, hexamethyl sulfoxide, γ-butyrolactone, 1,3-dimethylimidazolinone, etc.; preferably, the solvent is at least one of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and γ-butyrolactone.

[0035] Furthermore, there are no particular requirements regarding the mixing order of the amine compound, the tetracarboxylic acid derivative, and the solvent. It is possible to mix the amine compound and the solvent first, and then add the tetracarboxylic acid derivative; or to mix the tetracarboxylic acid derivative and the solvent first, and then add the amine compound; or to add the tetracarboxylic acid derivative and the amine compound alternately in the solvent.

[0036] Furthermore, although the reaction can be carried out at any concentration, if the concentration is too low, it is difficult to obtain a high molecular weight polymer; if the concentration is too high, the viscosity of the reaction solution is too high, making it difficult to achieve uniform stirring. Therefore, it is preferable that the content of the reactant tetracarboxylic acid derivative and amine compound in the mixture of amine compound, tetracarboxylic acid derivative and solvent is 1-50 wt%, for example 1 wt%, 5 wt%, 10 wt%, 15 wt%, 20 wt%, 25 wt%, 30 wt%, 35 wt%, 40 wt%, 45 wt%, 50 wt%, more preferably 5-30 wt%. The reaction can be carried out at a high concentration in the initial stage, and then the solvent can be added in the subsequent reaction process.

[0037] Furthermore, the reaction temperature of the amine compound and the tetracarboxylic acid derivative is 0–150°C, for example, 0°C, 5°C, 10°C, 15°C, 20°C, 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, 45°C, 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C, 70°C, 75°C, 80°C, 85°C, 90°C, 95°C, 100°C, 105°C, 110°C, 115°C, 120°C, 125°C, 130°C, 135°C, 140°C, 145°C, and 150°C; preferably, the reaction temperature is 5–100°C. The higher the temperature, the faster the polymerization reaction ends; however, if the temperature is too high, it may sometimes be impossible to obtain a high molecular weight polymer.

[0038] Furthermore, the reaction solution containing polyamic acid obtained from the reaction can be directly used for the subsequent preparation of polyamic esters, or the polyamic acid can be extracted from the reaction solution and then used for the subsequent preparation of polyamic esters. 。 Adding a reaction solution containing polyamic acid to a stirred, unsuitable solvent will precipitate the polyamic acid. The unsuitable solvent is selected from one or more of methanol, acetone, hexane, ethylene glycol diethyl ether, heptane, methyl ethyl ketone, ethanol, and toluene. The precipitated polyamic acid is then washed and dried to obtain powdered polyamic acid.

[0039] Furthermore, the polyamic acid esterification step can be: mixing the prepared reaction solution containing polyamic acid, the esterification reagent, and the catalyst as described above, and reacting them; or mixing polyamic acid powder, the esterification reagent, the catalyst, and the solvent as described above, and reacting them. The solvent used is the same as that used in the preparation of polyamic acid.

[0040] Furthermore, the esterifying agent is selected from at least one of N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal, dimethyl sulfoxide dimethyl acetal, acetone dimethyl acetal, vinyl ethyl ether, and di-tert-butyl dicarbonate.

[0041] Furthermore, the catalyst is one of pyridine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, acetic anhydride, dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), or 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU).

[0042] Furthermore, the catalyst dosage is 5-30 wt% of the polyamic acid mass, specifically 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%.

[0043] Furthermore, the mass ratio of polyamic acid to esterification reagent is 1:(0.05~0.2), for example 1:0.05, 1:0.1, 1:0.15, 1:0.2.

[0044] Furthermore, the esterification reaction temperature is 60~120℃, for example 60℃, 65℃, 70℃, 75℃, 80℃, 85℃, 90℃, 95℃, 100℃, 105℃, 110℃, 115℃, 120℃, and the time is 2~8h, for example 2h, 4h, 5h, 6h, 7h, 8h.

[0045] Furthermore, after the reaction, the resulting reaction solution containing polyamic acid ester contains residual catalyst. Therefore, to avoid the catalyst's influence on the photosensitive resin composition, it is preferable to add the reaction solution to a stirred, unsuitable solvent for precipitation and recovery. The precipitate obtained through the unsuitable solvent is washed and dried to obtain powdered polyamic acid ester. The unsuitable solvent used is the same as the unsuitable solvent used to precipitate the polyamic acid.

[0046] Furthermore, the molecular weight of the obtained polyamic acid ester, in terms of weight-average molecular weight (Mw), is preferably 10,000 to 50,000.

[0047] Furthermore, the viscosity of the obtained 5wt% polyamic acid ester solution is 5~30 mPa·s. The solution viscosity (mPa·s) is obtained by preparing a 5wt% solution of the polyamic acid ester using a good solvent (e.g., N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, γ-butyrolactone, etc.) and then measuring its viscosity using a viscometer at 25±0.1℃.

[0048] The present invention also provides a photosensitive resin composition comprising the above-mentioned polyamic acid ester.

[0049] Furthermore, the photosensitive resin composition also includes a coupling agent.

At least 50 mol% of all functional groups in the aforementioned polyhydroxy and polyamino compounds are replaced by quinone diazide. Preferably, the quinone diazide compound is any one of 5-naphthoquinone diazidesulfonic acid group, 4-naphthoquinone diazidesulfonic acid group, and diazonaphthoquinone compound (DNQ).

[0052] Furthermore, in the photosensitive resin composition, the mass ratio of polyamic acid ester to coupling agent is 100:0.1~20, for example 100:0.1, 100:0.5, 100:1, 100:1.5, 100:2, 100:2.5, 100:3, 100:3.5, 100:4, 100:4.5, 100:5, 100:5.5, 100:6, 100:6.5, 100:7, 100:7.5, 100:8, 100:8.5, 100: 9, 100:9.5, 100:10, 100:10.5, 100:11, 100:11.5, 100:12, 100:12.5, 100:13, 100:13.5, 100:14, 100:14.5, 100:15, 100:15.5, 100:16, 100:16.5, 100:17, 100:17.5, 100:18, 100:18.5, 100:19, 100:19.5, 100:20.

[0053] Furthermore, in the photosensitive resin composition, the mass ratio of polyamic acid ester to photosensitizer is 1:0.05~1, for example 1:0.05, 1:0.1, 1:0.2, 1:0.3, 1:0.4, 1:0.5, 1:0.6, 1:0.7, 1:0.8, 1:0.9, or 1:1.

[0054] Furthermore, in the photosensitive resin composition, the amount of solvent ensures that the concentration of polyamic acid ester is 5-13 wt%, for example 5 wt%, 6 wt%, 7 wt%, 8 wt%, 9 wt%, 11 wt%, 12 wt%, 13 wt%, preferably 8-11 wt%.

[0111] Performance testing The properties of the polyaminate (PAE), positive photosensitive resin composition (PSPI), and photosensitive polyimide film (PI) prepared in the above examples and comparative examples were tested, as follows: 1. Viscosity test The viscosity of the positive photosensitive resin compositions prepared in each example and comparative example was tested using a DV2TLV cone-plate viscometer (Type E) manufactured by Brookfield, USA. The rotors were: CPA-40Z rotor (0.5 mL sample volume, test range 0–1022 cp); and CPA-41Z rotor (2.0 mL sample volume, test range 0–3837 cp). The temperature was controlled at 25 ± 0.1 °C.

[0112] 2. Molecular weight test The molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the polyamic acid ester powders prepared in each example and comparative example were determined using GPC under the following conditions: Instrument: Waters 1525; Detector: Waters 2414 differential detector; Chromatographic column: Two Agilent PL gel MIXED-C 5um (300 x 7.8 mm) columns in series; Mobile phase: DMF + 70mM sodium nitrate; Flow rate: 1 ml / min; Temperature: 35℃; Standard: PMMA or PS; The molecular weight distribution of polyimide esters has a significant impact on the properties of polyimide films. The polydispersity index (PDI) is commonly used to measure molecular weight distribution. PDI The higher the value, the wider the molecular weight distribution. PDI = Mw / Mn.

[0113] 3. Solubility test Using γ-butyrolactone (GBL), NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone), DMAc (dimethylacetamide), DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide), and DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) as solvents, the solubility of each polyamide ester powder in the solvents was tested according to the gravimetric method (refer to GB / T 5750.4-2021). Specifically, 1 mL of each solvent was accurately weighed, and then the polyamide ester powder prepared in each example and comparative example was gradually added to the solvent. The maximum mass of polyamide ester that could be dissolved in the solvent was recorded, and the maximum concentration of the polyamide ester in the solvent was calculated. The solubility of the polyamide ester was evaluated according to the following standards: 4. Dielectric properties, contact angle, and water absorption rate testing of polyimide (PI) film. Instrument for testing dielectric constant: ZJD-A dielectric constant tester; test conditions: test frequency: 50 kHz ~ 100 MHz; temperature: 23 ± 2 ℃; humidity: < 50% RH.

[0117] 5. Test Results 5.1. The viscosity, molecular weight of the polyamic acid ester, and PDI of the positive photosensitive resin compositions of each embodiment and comparative example are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1 As can be seen from Table 1, the molecular weight of the polyamide esters obtained in each embodiment of the present invention is higher than that in each comparative example, indicating that the novel diamine of the present invention makes it easier to obtain a weight-average molecular weight (M). wThe polyamic acid esters with higher molecular weight distributions are shown in the comparison of Examples 1-15. The polyamic acid esters of Examples 8-11 have a narrower molecular weight distribution, indicating that a polyamic acid ester with a narrower molecular weight distribution can be obtained by combining diamine and tetracarboxylic acid derivatives.

[0118] 5.2. The solubility properties of the polyaminates in different solvents for each example and comparative example are shown in Table 2 below.

[0119] Table 2 As shown in Table 2, except for Example 13, the solubility of the polyamic acid esters in all examples is better than that in the comparative examples, indicating that the use of the novel diamine with the special structure of the present invention improves the solubility of the polyamic acid esters. Example 13 has lower solubility due to a lower content of the novel diamine. A comparison of Examples 1-7 and Examples 8-9 shows that using a combination of two novel diamines of the present invention can improve the solubility of the polyamic acid esters. A comparison of Examples 8 and 12 shows that the addition of a monoamine can improve the solubility of the polyamic acid esters. A comparison of Examples 1, 13, 14, and 15 shows that the solubility of the polyamic acid continuously increases with the increase of the content of the novel diamine of the present invention.

[0120] 5.3 The dielectric properties, contact angles, and water absorption rates of the polyimide films (PI) in each embodiment and comparative example are shown in Table 3 below.

[0121] Table 3 As can be seen from Table 3 by comparing Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-4, the polyimide film with the specific structure of the present invention has a lower dielectric constant and dielectric loss, and a lower water absorption rate. Comparing Examples 1-9, it can be seen that Example 9, which uses a mixture of diamines with the special structure of the present invention, is the best. Comparing Examples 9, 10, and 11, it can be seen that the component combination in Example 10 is optimal.
