Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a resin composition, a curable resin composition, a resin material for a solder resist, a cured product, an insulating material, and a resist member. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, in order to realize higher density of electronic components, printed wiring boards have been getting finer, more multi-layered and more one-board, and the mounting method has also shifted to surface mount technology (SMT). Therefore, there is an increasing demand for finer, higher Tg, higher resolution, higher precision and higher reliability in solder resist films, which are materials that prevent solder from adhering to areas other than the mounting area when mounting and soldering electronic components on a printed wiring board, and form a coating that semi-permanently prevents oxidation or corrosion of wiring. Furthermore, when used as a curable composition for a solder resist for printed wiring boards, it is required not only that the composition be cured with a small amount of light exposure, but also that the cured product have excellent heat resistance in the presence of a highly active flux and low dielectric properties. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a thermosetting resin composition that combines a vinylbenzyl compound, which has excellent dielectric properties in the high frequency band, with a polycarbodiimide compound, which improves adhesion to metal materials, to provide a low relative dielectric constant and low dielectric loss suitable for high frequency applications while also providing adhesion to metal materials.

[0033] [Resin composition] The present disclosure relates to a resin composition containing a (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A) and a resin (B) having an acid group and a polymerizable unsaturated group. The (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A) is a (meth)acrylic acid ester of a reaction product of a fluorene compound (not having a substituent at the 9-position), a phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound, and a compound represented by general formula (1). [ka] (In the above general formula (1), Ar represents an aromatic ring group which may have a substituent. R 11 , R 12 , R 22 and R 21 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, X 11 and X 21 are each independently a leaving group. This results in a resin capable of forming a cured product having excellent photosensitivity, high heat resistance, low dielectric constant and low dielectric tangent. In other words, the (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A) of the present embodiment may be a resin made of a fluorene compound (not having a substituent at the 9-position), a phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound, a compound represented by general formula (1), and a (meth)acrylation agent as reaction raw materials (a). In other words, the (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A) is made of a phenolic hydroxyl group- and aromatic ring-containing resin and a (meth)acrylation agent as reaction raw materials (b). The phenolic hydroxyl group- and aromatic ring-containing resin is made of a fluorene compound (not having a substituent at the 9-position), a phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound, and a compound represented by general formula (1) as reaction raw materials (c). Therefore, the phenolic hydroxyl group and aromatic ring-containing resin is a reaction product of a fluorene compound (which does not have a substituent at the 9-position), a phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound, and a compound represented by general formula (1), and can be said to be an intermediate of the (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A).

[0034] In addition, when the (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A) of this embodiment is specified by another expression other than the reaction raw materials, the chemical structure of the (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A) essentially contains a structural unit derived from the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound into which a (meth)acryloyl group has been introduced by reacting with some or all of the phenolic hydroxyl groups in the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound, and a structural unit derived from the compound represented by general formula (1), and may have a structure in which the structural unit derived from the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound into which the (meth)acryloyl group has been introduced and / or a structural unit derived from a fluorene compound (provided that the fluorene compound does not have a substituent at the 9-position) is bonded via the structural unit derived from the compound represented by general formula (1).

[0035] The resin composition of the present disclosure essentially contains a (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A) and a resin (B) having an acid group and a polymerizable unsaturated group, and may contain additives as necessary. The components contained in the resin composition of the present embodiment, that is, the (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A), the resin having an acid group and a polymerizable unsaturated group (B), and optional additives, will be described in detail below.

[0036] ((Meth)acrylate modified phenolic resin (A)) The (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A) of the present embodiment may be a resin in which at least a portion of the phenolic hydroxyl groups of the reaction product of a fluorene compound (provided that the fluorene compound does not have a substituent at the 9-position), a phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound, and a compound represented by general formula (1) and the phenolic hydroxyl groups of the aromatic ring-containing resin are modified into (meth)acrylate groups ((meth)acryloyl groups). In the resin composition of this embodiment, the upper limit of the content of the (meth)acrylate modified phenolic resin (A) (solid content) is preferably 90 mass% or less, more preferably 80 mass% or less, even more preferably 70 mass% or less, and even more preferably 60 mass% or less, based on the total amount (100 mass%) of the resin composition. The lower limit of the content of the (meth)acrylate modified phenolic resin (A) (solid content) is preferably 1 mass% or more, more preferably 3 mass% or more, even more preferably 5 mass% or more, and even more preferably 10 mass% or more, based on the total amount (100 mass%) of the resin composition. The upper and lower limits can be combined arbitrarily.

[0037] The (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A) of the present embodiment is preferably represented by the following general formula (5). [ka] "In the above general formula (5), Z 1 are each independently represented by the following general formula (2A): [ka] (In the above general formula (2A), R 2a and R 2beach independently represents an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, an aryl group, an arylalkyl group, an alkoxy group or a halogen atom, and each of m1 and m2 independently represents an integer of 0 to 4. * represents a bond to another atom.) or a structural unit represented by the following general formula (4A): [ka] (In the above general formula (4A), R b are each independently a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R 51 are each independently an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, an aryl group, an arylalkyl group, an alkoxy group, or a halogen atom, or when m3 is 2 or more, the two or more R 51 may form a ring together with the carbon atom to which they are bonded, and each m3 is independently an integer of 0 to 4. * represents a bond to another atom. Z′ and Z″ each independently represent the general formula (2A-LR): [ka] (In the above general formula (2A-LR), R 2a’ and R 2b’ m1 is independently an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, an aryl group, an arylalkyl group, an alkoxy group, or a halogen atom; ’ and m2 ’ are each independently an integer of 0 to 4. * represents a bond to another atom.) or a structural unit represented by the following general formula (4A-LR): [ka] (In the above general formula (4A-LR), R b’ are each independently a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R 51’ are each independently an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, an aryl group, an arylalkyl group, an alkoxy group, or a halogen atom, or ’ If is 2 or more, then the 2 or more R 51’ may form a ring together with the carbon atom to which they are attached, m3’ are each independently an integer of 0 to 4. * represents a bond to another atom. Ar 1 and Ar 2 each independently represents an aromatic ring group which may have a substituent, R 11 , R 12 , R 21 , R 22 , R 31 , R 32 , R 41 and R 42 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, p 0 is the average value, and is a number greater than 0. However, the (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A) contains a structural unit represented by general formula (2A) and / or a structural unit represented by general formula (2A-LR), and a structural unit represented by general formula (4A) and / or a structural unit represented by general formula (4A-LR).

[0038] In the above general formula (5), the structural units represented by the general formulae (2A) and (2A-LR) correspond to the preferred form of the structural unit derived from a fluorene compound (provided that the 9-position does not have a substituent). The structural units represented by the general formulae (4A) and (4A-LR) correspond to the preferred form of the structural unit derived from the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound in which a (meth)acryloyl group is introduced by reacting with a part or all of the phenolic hydroxyl groups in the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound. Therefore, for example, the [CH2=CRb'-C(=O)-] portion in the general formula (4A-LR) corresponds to the preferred form of the structural unit derived from the (meth)acrylation agent, and the other partial structures of the general formula (4A-LR) correspond to the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound. In addition, "R 11 R 12 C-Ar 1 -CR 21 R 22 " portion and "R 31 R 32 C-Ar 2 -CR 41 R42 " portion corresponds to a preferred form of the structural unit derived from the compound represented by general formula (1).

[0039] In addition, the (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A) of this embodiment may be a resin alone or a resin mixture. Specifically, the (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A) may be a fluorene ring-containing (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A1) alone, which contains a structural unit derived from the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound to which a (meth)acryloyl group has been introduced by reacting with a part or all of the phenolic hydroxyl groups in the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound, a structural unit derived from the compound represented by general formula (1), and a structural unit derived from a fluorene compound (provided that the 9th position does not have a substituent), and has a structure in which the structural unit derived from the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound to which the (meth)acryloyl group has been introduced and the structural unit derived from the fluorene compound (provided that the 9th position does not have a substituent) are bonded via the structural unit derived from the compound represented by general formula (1), or may be a resin mixture containing the fluorene ring-containing (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A1). As will be described in detail later, when the (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A) of the present embodiment is a resin mixture, the resin mixture preferably essentially contains a fluorene ring-containing (meth)acrylate-modified phenolic resin (A1) having a structure in which a structural unit derived from a phenolic hydroxyl group-containing compound to which a (meth)acryloyl group has been introduced and a structural unit derived from a fluorene compound (provided that the fluorene compound does not have a substituent at the 9-position) are bonded via a structural unit derived from a compound represented by general formula (1).

[0215] [Table 3]

[0216] From the experimental results in Tables 2 to 3, it was confirmed that the curable resin composition of this example is superior in photosensitivity, heat resistance, and dielectric properties (dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent) when cured compared to the curable resin composition of the comparative example. Therefore, it is considered that the resin composition of this example is superior in photosensitivity, heat resistance, and dielectric properties (dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent) when cured compared to the resin composition of the comparative example. Also, only the resin represented by the general formula (5-1.4) may be isolated (for example, isolated during recovery of the phenolic hydroxyl group and aromatic ring-containing resin) and used in a curable resin composition. In that case, even if the resin represented by the general formula (5-1.4) is isolated and a resin composition is prepared in the same manner as in the above examples, the same photosensitivity, heat resistance, and dielectric properties as those in the above examples can be obtained. In this example, it was confirmed that sufficient curability was exhibited even without isolating the resin represented by the general formula (5-1.4), so the resin composition was prepared in the form of a mixture containing the resin represented by the general formula (5-1.4) and each evaluation was performed.
