Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a negative photosensitive resin composition, a method for producing a polyimide, and a method for producing a cured relief pattern. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, polyimide resins, polybenzoxazole resins, phenolic resins, etc., which have excellent heat resistance, electrical properties, and mechanical properties, have been used as insulating materials for electronic components, and passivation films, surface protective films, interlayer insulating films, etc. for semiconductor devices. Among these resins, those provided in the form of a photosensitive resin composition can easily form a heat-resistant relief pattern film by applying the composition, exposing it to light, developing it, and subjecting it to a thermal imidization treatment by curing it. Such photosensitive resin compositions have the characteristic of enabling a significant reduction in the process compared to conventional non-photosensitive materials.

[0003] Incidentally, semiconductor devices (hereinafter also referred to as "elements") are mounted on printed circuit boards by various methods according to the purpose. Conventional elements were generally fabricated by a wire bonding method in which thin wires connect the external terminals (pads) of the element to a lead frame. However, today, as elements have become faster and the operating frequency has reached GHz, differences in the wiring length of each terminal during mounting have come to affect the operation of the element. As a result, when mounting elements for high-end applications, it has become necessary to precisely control the length of the mounting wiring, and it has become difficult to meet this requirement using wire bonding.

[0004] Therefore, flip-chip mounting has been proposed, in which a rewiring layer is formed on the surface of a semiconductor chip, bumps (electrodes) are formed thereon, and then the chip is flipped over and directly mounted on a printed circuit board (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This flip-chip mounting allows accurate control of wiring distance, and is therefore adopted for high-end devices that handle high-speed signals, and for mobile phones and the like due to its small mounting size, and demand is rapidly expanding. When materials such as polyimide, polybenzoxazole, and phenolic resin are used for flip-chip mounting, a metal wiring layer formation process is performed after the resin layer pattern is formed. The metal wiring layer is usually formed by roughening the surface of the resin layer by plasma etching, forming a metal layer to be a plating seed layer by sputtering to a thickness of 1 μm or less, and then using the metal layer as an electrode, by electrolytic plating. In this case, titanium (Ti) is generally used as the metal that becomes the seed layer, and copper (Cu) is generally used as the metal for the rewiring layer formed by electrolytic plating.

[0005] In recent years, fan-out type semiconductor packages have also been attracting attention. In fan-out type semiconductor packages, a chip sealing body larger than the chip size of the semiconductor chip is formed by covering the semiconductor chip with an encapsulant (resin layer). Furthermore, a redistribution layer is formed that extends to the area of ​​the semiconductor chip and the encapsulant. The redistribution layer is formed with a thin film thickness. Furthermore, since the redistribution layer can be formed up to the area of ​​the encapsulant, the number of external connection terminals can be increased.

[0006] For such a metal rewiring layer, it is required that the adhesion between the rewired metal layer and the resin layer is high after the reliability test. In particular, in recent years, it is required that the temperature for heat curing the rewiring layer is lower. Examples of the reliability test include a high-temperature storage test in which the rewiring layer is stored in air at a high temperature of 125°C or higher for 100 hours or more; a high-temperature operation test in which the rewiring layer is stored in air at a temperature of about 125°C for 100 hours or more while wiring is assembled and a voltage is applied; a temperature cycle test in which the rewiring layer is cycled between a low-temperature state of about -65°C to -40°C and a high-temperature state of about 125°C to 150°C in air; a high-temperature and high-humidity storage test in which the rewiring layer is stored in a water vapor atmosphere at a temperature of 85°C or higher and a humidity of 85% or higher; a high-temperature and high-humidity bias test in which the same test as the high-temperature and high-humidity storage test is performed while wiring is assembled and a voltage is applied; and a solder reflow test in which the reflow oven is passed through a solder reflow furnace at 260°C multiple times in air or nitrogen.

[0007] [Patent Document 1] JP 2001-338947 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] However, in the past, in the case of the high-temperature storage test among the above reliability tests, there was a problem that voids were generated at the interface of the rewired Cu layer and the resin layer after the test. In particular, when the heat curing temperature is low, this tends to be more pronounced. When voids are generated at the interface between the Cu layer and the resin layer, the adhesion between the two layers is reduced.

[0009] In addition to the problem of voids, the metal redistribution layer is required to have chemical resistance, and the demand for finer patterning is also increasing. For this reason, photosensitive resin compositions used in particular for forming the redistribution layer of semiconductors are required to suppress the generation of voids and to exhibit high chemical resistance and resolution.

[0010] The present invention has been devised in view of such conventional circumstances, and has as its object to provide a negative-type photosensitive resin composition (hereinafter, also simply referred to as "photosensitive resin composition" in this specification) that can obtain high chemical resistance and resolution and can suppress the generation of voids at the interface where the Cu layer contacts the resin layer after a high temperature storage test. Another object is to provide a method for forming a cured relief pattern using the negative-type photosensitive resin composition of the present invention. [Means for solving the problem]

[0040] (C) Silane coupling agent having a specific structure The silane coupling agent having a specific structure (C) used in this embodiment will be described. The silane coupling agent having a specific structure (C) according to this embodiment has a structure represented by the following general formula (1). [ka] In the formula, a is an integer of 1 to 3, n is an integer of 1 to 6, and R 21 are each independently an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R 22 is a hydroxyl group or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and R 20 is at least one selected from the group consisting of a substituent containing an epoxy group, a phenylamino group, and a ureido group.} In the general formula (1), a is not limited as long as it is an integer of 1 to 3, but is preferably 2 or 3, and more preferably 3, from the viewpoint of adhesion to the metal redistribution layer. Although n is not limited as long as it is an integer of 1 to 6, from the viewpoint of adhesion to the metal redistribution layer, it is preferably from 1 to 4. From the viewpoint of developability, it is preferably from 2 to 5. R 21 is not limited as long as it is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Examples of the alkyl group include a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, an isopropyl group, a butyl group, an isobutyl group, and a t-butyl group. R 22 is not limited as long as it is a hydroxyl group or an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Examples of the alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms include R 21 The alkyl groups shown in the above are exemplified. R 20 is not limited as long as it is a substituent containing an epoxy group, a phenylamino group, a ureido group, or an isocyanate group. Among these, from the viewpoint of developability and adhesion of the metal redistribution layer, it is preferable that it is at least one selected from the group consisting of a substituent containing a phenylamino group and a substituent containing a ureido group, and a substituent containing a phenylamino group is more preferable. Examples of silane coupling agents containing an epoxy group include 2-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane, 3-glycidoxypropylmethyldimethoxysilane, 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-glycidoxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane, and 3-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane.

An example of a silane coupling agent containing a ureido group is 3-ureidopropyltrialkoxysilane. An example of a silane coupling agent containing an isocyanate group is 3-isocyanatepropyltriethoxysilane.

[0041] (D) Organic solvent with a specific structure The organic solvent according to the present embodiment is not limited as long as it contains at least one selected from the group consisting of γ-butyrolactone, dimethyl sulfoxide, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, ethyl acetoacetate, dimethyl succinate, dimethyl malonate, and ε-caprolactone. By containing the above organic solvent, sufficient adhesion to the sealing material can be exhibited. Among them, from the viewpoint of the solubility of the (A) polyimide precursor, γ-butyrolactone, dimethyl sulfoxide, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, ethyl acetoacetate, and ε-caprolactone are preferred, and from the viewpoint of suppressing voids on the copper surface, it is more preferred to contain at least two organic solvents selected from the above group.

[0042] Although it is not clear why the organic solvent having the specific structure according to the present embodiment has good adhesion to the sealing material, the present inventors presume it as follows. Conventionally, amide-based solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, and N,N-dimethylformamide have been used as organic solvents for dissolving photosensitive resin compositions containing polyimide precursors. Although these solvents have a very high dissolving ability for polyimide precursors, when the heat curing temperature required in recent years is low (for example, less than 200°C), they tend to remain in large amounts in the film due to their high affinity with the polyimide produced. Therefore, the performance is reduced due to interactions with the silane coupling agent having the above-mentioned (C) specific structure. On the other hand, by including the above-mentioned solvents, even if the heat curing temperature is low, the solvent remaining in the film after heat curing can be sufficiently reduced, so that the adhesion to the sealing material tends to be good.

[0043] In the negative type photosensitive resin composition of the present embodiment, the amount of the organic solvent used is preferably 100 to 1,000 parts by mass, more preferably 120 to 700 parts by mass, and further preferably 125 to 500 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the (A) polyimide precursor.

[0068] <Method for Producing Cured Relief Pattern and Semiconductor Device> The present invention also provides a method for producing a cured relief pattern, comprising the steps of: (1) applying the negative type photosensitive resin composition of the present embodiment described above onto a substrate to form a photosensitive resin layer on the substrate; (2) exposing the photosensitive resin layer to light; (3) developing the exposed photosensitive resin layer to form a relief pattern; and (4) heat-treating the relief pattern to form a cured relief pattern.

[0069] (1) Photosensitive resin layer formation process In this step, the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is applied onto a substrate, and then dried as necessary to form a photosensitive resin layer. As the application method, a method that has been conventionally used for applying a photosensitive resin composition, such as a method of applying with a spin coater, a bar coater, a blade coater, a curtain coater, a screen printer, etc., or a method of spray application with a spray coater, etc., can be used.

[0070] If necessary, the coating film containing the negative photosensitive resin composition can be dried. As a drying method, air drying, heat drying using an oven or a hot plate, vacuum drying, etc. can be used. Specifically, when air drying or heat drying is performed, drying can be performed under conditions of 20°C to 140°C for 1 minute to 1 hour. As described above, a photosensitive resin layer (negative photosensitive resin layer) can be formed on a substrate.

[0071] (2) Exposure process In this step, the negative photosensitive resin layer formed above is exposed to an ultraviolet light source or the like through a photomask or reticle having a pattern, or directly, using an exposure device such as a contact aligner, mirror projection, or stepper.

[0072] Thereafter, for the purpose of improving the photosensitivity, etc., a post-exposure bake (PEB) and / or a pre-development bake may be performed at any combination of temperature and time, as necessary. The range of baking conditions is preferably a temperature of 40° C. to 120° C. and a time of 10 seconds to 240 seconds, but is not limited to this range as long as it does not impair the various properties of the negative-type photosensitive resin composition of the present invention.

[0073] (3) Relief pattern formation process In this process, the unexposed portion of the exposed photosensitive resin layer is developed and removed. As a development method for developing the exposed (irradiated) photosensitive resin layer, any method can be selected from conventionally known photoresist development methods, such as a rotary spray method, a paddle method, and an immersion method accompanied by ultrasonic treatment. After development, post-development baking may be performed at any combination of temperature and time, if necessary, for the purpose of adjusting the shape of the relief pattern.

[0074] The developer used for development is preferably, for example, a good solvent for the negative photosensitive resin composition, or a combination of the good solvent and a poor solvent. As the good solvent, for example, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-cyclohexyl-2-pyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, γ-butyrolactone, α-acetyl-γ-butyrolactone, etc. are preferable. As the poor solvent, for example, toluene, xylene, methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl lactate, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, water, etc. are preferable. When a good solvent and a poor solvent are used in combination, it is preferable to adjust the ratio of the poor solvent to the good solvent according to the solubility of the polymer in the negative photosensitive resin composition. In addition, two or more types of each solvent, for example, several types, can be used in combination.

[0075] (4) Hardened relief pattern formation process In this step, the relief pattern obtained by the above development is heated to disperse the photosensitive component and imidize the polyimide precursor (A), thereby converting it into a cured relief pattern made of polyimide. As a method for heat curing, various methods can be selected, such as a method using a hot plate, a method using an oven, or a method using a temperature-elevating oven that can set a temperature program. Heating can be performed, for example, under conditions of 170°C to 400°C for 30 minutes to 5 hours. As the atmospheric gas during heat curing, air may be used, or an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon may also be used.

[0076] <Polyimide> The structure of the polyimide contained in the cured relief pattern formed from the polyimide precursor composition is represented by the following general formula (8). [ka] {where, X 1 and Y 1 is X in general formula (2). 1 and Y 1 where m is a positive integer. Preferred X in formula (2)1 and Y 1 For the same reason, is also preferred in the polyimide of general formula (8). The number m of repeating units in general formula (8) is not particularly limited as long as it is a positive integer, but may be an integer of 2 to 150, or an integer of 3 to 140.

[0077] Another aspect of the present invention is a method for producing a polyimide, which includes a step of converting the above-described negative photosensitive resin composition into a polyimide.

[0078] <Semiconductor device> In this embodiment, a semiconductor device having a cured relief pattern obtained by the above-mentioned method for producing a cured relief pattern is also provided. Thus, a semiconductor device can be provided having a substrate that is a semiconductor element and a cured relief pattern of polyimide formed on the substrate by the above-mentioned method for producing a cured relief pattern. The present invention can also be applied to a method for producing a semiconductor device that uses a semiconductor element as the substrate and includes the above-mentioned method for producing a cured relief pattern as part of the process. The semiconductor device of the present invention can be produced by forming the cured relief pattern formed by the above-mentioned method for producing a cured relief pattern as a surface protective film, an interlayer insulating film, an insulating film for rewiring, a protective film for a flip chip device, or a protective film for a semiconductor device having a bump structure, and combining the method with a known method for producing a semiconductor device.

[0079] <Display device> In this embodiment, a display device is provided that includes a display element and a cured film provided on the upper portion of the display element, and the cured film is the above-mentioned cured relief pattern. Here, the cured relief pattern may be laminated in direct contact with the display element, or may be laminated with another layer sandwiched therebetween. For example, the cured film may be a surface protection film, an insulating film, and a planarizing film for a thin film transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display element and a color filter element, a protrusion for a multi-domain vertical alignment (MVA) type liquid crystal display device, and a partition wall for a cathode of an organic electroluminescence (EL) element.

EXAMPLES

[0081] The present embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In the examples, comparative examples, and production examples, the physical properties of the polymer or the negative photosensitive resin composition were measured and evaluated according to the following methods.

[0082] <Measurement and evaluation methods> (1) Weight average molecular weight The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of each resin was measured using gel permeation chromatography (standard polystyrene equivalent) under the following conditions. Pump: JASCO PU-980 Detector: JASCO RI-930 Column oven: JASCO CO-965 40℃ Column: Showa Denko Shodex KD-806M, 2 in series, or Showa Denko Shodex 805M / 806M series Standard monodisperse polystyrene: Showa Denko Co., Ltd. Shodex STANDARD SM-105 Mobile phase: 0.1 mol / L LiBr / N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) Flow rate: 1mL / min.

[0083] (2) Fabrication of hardened relief patterns on Cu A 6-inch silicon wafer (manufactured by Fujimi Electronics Co., Ltd., thickness 625±25 μm) was sputtered with 200 nm of Ti and 400 nm of Cu, in that order, using a sputtering device (L-440S-FHL model, manufactured by Canon Anelva Corporation). Next, a negative-type photosensitive resin composition prepared by the method described below was spin-coated on this wafer using a coater developer (D-Spin60A model, manufactured by SOKUDO Co., Ltd.), and prebaked on a hot plate at 110°C for 180 seconds to form a coating film with a thickness of approximately 7 μm. Using a test pattern mask, this coating film was then sprayed with 500 mJ / cm using Prisma GHI (manufactured by Ultratech Co., Ltd.). 2 The coating was then spray-developed with a coater developer (D-Spin60A, manufactured by SOKUDO Co., Ltd.) using cyclopentanone as a developer, and rinsed with propylene glycol methyl ether acetate to obtain a relief pattern on Cu. The wafer with the relief pattern formed on Cu was heat-treated in a temperature-ramp programmable curing furnace (VF-2000 model, manufactured by Koyo Lindberg) in a nitrogen atmosphere at the curing temperature shown in Table 1 for 2 hours to obtain a cured relief pattern made of resin approximately 4 to 5 μm thick on Cu.

[0084] (3) Resolution evaluation of hardened relief patterns on Cu The cured relief pattern obtained by the above method was observed under an optical microscope to determine the size of the minimum opening pattern. At this time, if the area of ​​the opening of the obtained pattern was 1 / 2 or more of the corresponding pattern mask opening area, it was considered to be resolved, and the length of the mask opening side corresponding to the resolved opening having the smallest area was taken as the resolution. Resolutions less than 10 μm were rated "excellent," those between 10 μm and 14 μm were rated "good," those between 14 μm and 18 μm were rated "passable," and those over 18 μm were rated "poor."

[0085] (4) High temperature storage test of hardened relief patterns on Cu and subsequent void area evaluation The wafer with the cured relief pattern formed on Cu was heated in air at 150°C for 168 hours using a temperature-programmable curing furnace (VF-2000, manufactured by Koyo Lindberg). Then, the resin layer on Cu was entirely removed by plasma etching using a plasma surface treatment device (EXAM, manufactured by Shinko Seiki Co., Ltd.). The plasma etching conditions were as follows: Output: 133W Gas type / flow rate: O 2 :40mL / min + CF 4 :1mL / min Gas pressure: 50Pa Mode: Hard Mode Etching time: 1800 seconds

[0086] The Cu surface from which the resin layer had been completely removed was observed with an FE-SEM (S-4800 model, manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation), and the area of ​​voids on the surface of the Cu layer was calculated using image analysis software (Azo-kun, manufactured by Asahi Kasei Corporation). When the total area of ​​voids in the evaluation of the photosensitive resin composition described in Comparative Example 1 was taken as 100%, those with a total void area ratio of less than 50% were judged as "excellent", those with a void area ratio of 50% or more and less than 75% were judged as "good", those with a void area ratio of 75% or more and less than 100% were judged as "passable", and those with a void area ratio of 100% or more were judged as "unacceptable".

[0087] (5) Chemical resistance evaluation of cured relief pattern (polyimide coating) The cured relief pattern formed on Cu was immersed in a resist stripper {manufactured by ATMI, product name ST-44, main components: 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol and 1-cyclohexyl-2-pyrrolidone} heated to 50°C for 5 minutes, washed with running water for 1 minute, and air-dried. Thereafter, the film surface was visually observed with an optical microscope, and the chemical resistance was evaluated based on the presence or absence of damage caused by the chemical solution, such as cracks, and / or the change in film thickness after chemical treatment. As evaluation criteria, those without damage such as cracks and with a film thickness change rate of 10% or less based on the film thickness before chemical immersion were rated as "excellent", those with a film thickness change rate of 10-15% were rated as "good", those with a film thickness change rate of 15-20% were rated as "passable", and those with cracks or a film thickness change rate of more than 20% were rated as "unacceptable".

[0088] (6) Adhesion test with sealing material The R4000 series manufactured by Nagase Chemtex Corporation was used as the epoxy-based sealing material. Next, the sealing material was spin-coated onto an aluminum-sputtered silicon wafer to a thickness of about 150 microns, and the epoxy-based sealing material was cured by thermal curing at 130°C. The photosensitive resin composition prepared in the Examples and Comparative Examples was applied onto the above-mentioned epoxy-based cured film to a final film thickness of 10 microns. The applied photosensitive resin composition was applied at 500 mJ / cm 2 After exposing the entire surface under the above exposure conditions, the film was thermally cured at 180° C. for 2 hours to produce a first cured film having a thickness of 10 microns. The photosensitive resin composition used in forming the first cured film was applied onto the first cured film, and the entire surface was exposed to light under the same conditions as when the first cured film was prepared. The entire surface was then thermally cured to form a second cured film having a thickness of 10 microns. An epoxy resin was applied onto the photosensitive resin cured film of the above sample, and then a pin was inserted and an adhesion test was performed using a pull tester (Quad Group, Sebastian 5). Evaluation was performed according to the following criteria. Evaluation: Adhesive strength 70MPa or more: Excellent adhesion 50MPa or more - less than 70MPa: Good adhesion 30MPa or more - less than 50MPa: Adhesion is good Less than 30MPa: Adhesion not possible
