Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of copper clad laminate technology, and particularly to a cyano-based prepolymer thermosetting resin composition and its semi-cured sheet and metal foil laminate. Background Technology

[0002] A low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) along the XY axis of the packaging substrate is a core requirement for ensuring the reliability of the packaging structure. During high-temperature packaging processes and the long-term thermal cycling of electronic devices, if the difference between the CTE of the substrate and the chip is too large, significant thermal stress will be generated, leading to problems such as warping, delamination, and solder joint cracking in the packaging structure, ultimately causing circuit failure. Currently, a relatively effective solution for reducing the CTE of the XY axis of the packaging substrate is to introduce stress-absorbing molecular structures into the molecular structure through chemical prepolymerization. This also avoids the adverse effects of reduced adhesion, reduced toughness, and poor flowability caused by previous solutions that excessively increased the proportion of inorganic fillers or crosslinking density. However, as advanced packaging forms or processes such as SoC, ETS, and FCBGA develop towards higher density, thinner profiles, larger sizes, and more layers, higher requirements are placed on properties such as coefficient of thermal expansion, adhesion of ultra-thin carrier copper, glass transition temperature, and resin flowability. Current technical solutions often struggle to meet or simultaneously address these requirements. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, it may also form a certain amount of hydrogen bonds or chemical crosslinks between molecules, thereby further reducing the XY axis CTE and significantly increasing the glass transition temperature. Moreover, due to the high nitrogen content of phthalonitrile, the peel strength is further improved. Detailed Implementation
