Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a resin composition, a resin-coated copper foil, and a composite material. [Background technology]
[0002] Glass substrates are used for glass antennas that impart antenna functions to glass for automobiles and buildings, various flat panel displays, glass interposers, etc. For example, Patent Document 1 (International Publication No. 2020 / 195661) discloses a resin composition intended for application to glass substrates, which comprises (a) an acrylic polymer having a tensile modulus of 200 MPa or less, (b) a resin that is solid at 25 ° C, (c) a resin that is liquid at 25 ° C and can be crosslinked with at least one of the components (a) and (b), and (d) a polymerization initiator, and in which the content of the component (a) is 35 parts by weight or more and 93 parts by weight or less, the content of the component (b) is 3 parts by weight or more and 60 parts by weight or less, and the content of the component (c) is 1 part by weight or more and 25 parts by weight or less, relative to a total amount of 100 parts by weight of the components (a), (b), and (c).
[0003] In addition, the resin composition is used for various applications other than the above-mentioned glass substrate, for example, in electronic devices such as flexible printed wiring boards. For example, Patent Document 2 (JP 2007-168123 A) discloses a method for producing a metal foil-attached flexible substrate in which a metal foil is provided on at least one side of a resin film, the method comprising a step of thermocompression bonding the metal foil to the resin film at 300°C or more and 500°C or less, the resin film containing a non-thermoplastic polyimide resin. Patent Document 3 (WO 2018 / 139559 A) discloses a curable resin composition containing a curable resin, an imide oligomer having an imide skeleton in the main chain and a crosslinkable functional group at the end and a number average molecular weight of 4000 or less, and a curing accelerator, the cured product having an initial adhesive strength to polyimide of 3.4 N / cm or more, and the adhesive strength of the cured product to polyimide after storage at 200°C for 100 hours is 0.8 times or more the initial adhesive strength. Patent Document 4 (JP Patent Publication 5-179220 A) discloses a heat-resistant adhesive that contains, as resin components, (A) 100 parts by weight of a soluble aromatic polyamideimide, (B) 25 to 300 parts by weight of an epoxy resin, and (C) an epoxy curing agent.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2020 / 195661 [Patent Document 2] JP 2007-168123 A [Patent Document 3] International Publication No. 2018 / 139559 [Patent Document 4] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 5-179220 Summary of the Invention
[0005] As mentioned above, resin compositions are used in various applications, but unlike applications such as laminating a resin material such as prepreg with a metal foil, as disclosed in Patent Documents 2 to 4, among printed wiring boards, laminating a metal foil (e.g., copper foil) with a glass substrate via a resin composition causes unique problems. For example, when a composite material is produced by laminating a copper foil with a glass substrate via a resin composition as a resin layer, if a press method is used, not only is it time-consuming and the size of the composite material itself is limited, but the glass substrate may also break. On the other hand, the lamination method is a method of laminating two or more sheets by roll-to-roll at a lower pressure than the press method, so continuous production is possible and the glass substrate is less likely to break. Therefore, when laminating a copper foil with a glass substrate via a resin composition as a resin layer, it is desirable to use a lamination method instead of a press method. However, although the lamination method has the above-mentioned advantages, it is difficult to increase the pressure to the same level as the press method, so a resin composition that enables adhesion by the lamination method of copper foil and glass substrate is required. However, when a desired product is manufactured using such a resin composition, problems such as void generation, resin phase separation, warping, and crack generation may occur during lamination in the manufacturing process. Therefore, a resin composition that can solve these problems is required. In addition, such a resin composition is also required to have heat resistance that can withstand high temperatures during product manufacturing.
[0006] The present inventors have now discovered that a resin composition comprising two or more polymers selected from polyamide resins, polyimide resins, and polyacrylic resins, an epoxy resin, and a curing agent, at least one of the two or more polymers having a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 or more and at least one other polymer having a weight average molecular weight of less than 50,000, enables bonding between copper foil and a glass substrate by a lamination method and also has excellent heat resistance.
[0007] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a resin composition which enables bonding of a copper foil and a glass substrate by a lamination method and which has excellent heat resistance.

[0010] According to another aspect of the present invention, A glass substrate; the resin-coated copper foil being provided on at least one surface of the glass substrate such that the resin layer is in contact with the glass substrate; A composite material is provided, comprising: DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0011] resin composition The resin composition of the present invention contains two or more polymers selected from the group consisting of polyamide resins, polyimide resins, and polyacrylic resins, one or more epoxy resins, and a curing agent. At least one of the two or more polymers has a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 or more, and at least another has a weight average molecular weight of less than 50,000. In this way, the resin composition containing the two or more polymers, the epoxy resin, and the curing agent enables adhesion between a copper foil and a glass substrate by a lamination method, and exhibits excellent heat resistance. Furthermore, the resin composition having excellent heat resistance can withstand high temperatures when a product including the resin composition is manufactured.
[0012] As described above, when a composite material is produced by bonding a copper foil and a glass substrate via a resin composition as a resin layer, a lamination method is desirable because it allows continuous production and has a low possibility of cracking the glass substrate. However, although the lamination method has the above-mentioned advantages, it is difficult to increase the pressure as much as the press method, so a resin composition that enables adhesion of a copper foil and a glass substrate by the lamination method is required. However, when a desired product is produced using such a resin composition, problems such as void generation, resin phase separation, warping, and cracking may occur during lamination in the production process. In addition, usually, the resin does not reach the C stage by lamination alone, and additional heat treatment for main curing is required. During this additional heat treatment, problems such as warping and cracking may also occur. Furthermore, in the later process, a heating process may be performed for annealing (baking) or component mounting, and heat resistance that can withstand such high temperatures during production is also desired. In this regard, the resin composition of the present invention can advantageously solve the above problems. Here, the properties of the resin composition, such as heat resistance, can be determined, for example, by evaluating the storage modulus at 200°C in the C-stage state after curing, and the degree of void generation, adhesion and adhesive strength between the resin and the glass substrate or copper foil, and the degree of warping in a composite material in which copper foil and a glass substrate are bonded together via the resin composition.
[0013] The resin composition of the present invention preferably has a storage modulus of 10 MPa or more at 200°C in a C-stage state after curing, more preferably 30 MPa or more, and even more preferably 300 MPa or more. When the storage modulus is high, deformation or cracking of the resin composition during heating can be suppressed, and heat resistance can be improved. The higher the storage modulus at 200°C, the more preferable, and the upper limit is not particularly limited, but is typically 10000 MPa or less, more typically 5000 MPa or less, and even more typically 1000 MPa or less. The storage modulus at 200°C is measured using a DMA (dynamic viscoelasticity measurement) device. Specifically, this DMA measurement is performed in accordance with JIS K 7244-4:1999 by placing a resin with a test piece width of 5.0 mm and a test piece thickness of 100 μm in a clamp with a clamp length of 20.0 mm, and heating from 30°C to 280°C at a temperature increase rate of 5°C / min in an air atmosphere at a measurement frequency of 1 Hz.
[0014] The resin composition of the present invention contains two or more polymers selected from the group consisting of polyamide resins, polyimide resins, and polyacrylic resins. These polymers contribute to improving adhesion and storage modulus during lamination. The polyamide resin is not particularly limited as long as it is a polymer having an amide structure in the main chain, but from the viewpoint of using it in combination with an epoxy resin, a soluble polyamide is preferable, and more preferably a soluble polyamide having a functional group capable of reacting with an epoxy resin. The polyimide resin is not particularly limited as long as it is a polymer having an imide structure in the main chain, but from the viewpoint of using it in combination with an epoxy resin, a soluble polyimide is preferable, and more preferably a soluble polyimide having a functional group capable of reacting with an epoxy resin. Examples of polyacrylic resins include acrylic acid ester polymers and methacrylic acid ester polymers, and are preferably those having a functional group capable of reacting with an epoxy resin. Examples of functional groups capable of reacting with an epoxy resin include a phenolic hydroxyl group, an amino group (primary amine and secondary amine), a carboxyl group (including acid anhydride), a cyanate group, a mercapto group, and the like.
[0015] The total content of two or more polymers selected from the group consisting of polyamide resins, polyimide resins, and polyacrylic resins is preferably 16 parts by weight or more and 70 parts by weight or less, more preferably 30 parts by weight or more and 68 parts by weight or less, even more preferably 33 parts by weight or more and 45 parts by weight or less, and particularly preferably 35 parts by weight or more and 42 parts by weight or less, relative to 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the resin composition.
[0016] Of these two or more polymers, it is preferable that at least one is a polyamide resin and at least one is a polyimide resin. In this way, the two or more polymers contain at least a polyamide resin and a polyimide resin, so that a wide temperature range in which lamination is possible can be secured.
[0017] At least one of the two or more polymers selected from the group consisting of polyamide resins, polyimide resins, and polyacrylic resins is a polymer having a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 or more, and at least another is a polymer having a weight average molecular weight of less than 50,000. In this way, the two or more polymers contain a polymer having a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 or more, which can improve the brittleness of the resin composition after curing, while lamination properties and adhesive strength may be reduced. The inclusion of a polymer having a weight average molecular weight of less than 50,000 can improve the lamination properties and adhesive strength, while the storage modulus of the resin composition after curing may be reduced. That is, the two or more polymers contain a polymer having a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 or more and a polymer having a weight average molecular weight of less than 50,000, which can adjust the physical properties of the resin composition, and in particular, can improve the lamination properties and adhesive strength.
[0018] In addition, from the viewpoint of further adjusting the physical properties of the resin composition, the resin composition preferably contains 15 parts by weight or more and 70 parts by weight or less of a polymer having a weight average molecular weight of less than 50,000, more preferably 20 parts by weight or more and 60 parts by weight or less, even more preferably 20 parts by weight or more and 50 parts by weight or less, and particularly preferably 20 parts by weight or more and 40 parts by weight or less, relative to 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the resin composition. Furthermore, the resin composition preferably contains 1 part by weight or more and 20 parts by weight or less of a polymer having a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 or more, more preferably 1 part by weight or more and 18 parts by weight or less, even more preferably 5 parts by weight or more and 18 parts by weight or less, and particularly preferably 5 parts by weight or more and 15 parts by weight or less, relative to 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the resin composition.
[0019] The resin composition of the present invention contains one or more epoxy resins, and at least one of the one or more epoxy resins preferably has a naphthalene skeleton. The epoxy resin contributes to improving lamination properties and the storage modulus of the cured resin composition, and the presence of a naphthalene skeleton at least one of the epoxy resins provides a higher storage modulus to the cured resin composition.
[0020] The total content of the one or more epoxy resins is preferably 30 parts by weight or more and 70 parts by weight or less, more preferably 35 parts by weight or more and 65 parts by weight or less, even more preferably 45 parts by weight or more and 65 parts by weight or less, and particularly preferably 50 parts by weight or more and 63 parts by weight or less, relative to 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the resin composition.
[0021] Examples of epoxy resins having a naphthalene skeleton include, but are not limited to, those having a naphthalene skeleton, such as those having the following formula: [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka] [ka] Examples of commercially available epoxy resins having a naphthalene skeleton include HP4710, HP4770, HP4032D, HP5000, and HP6000 manufactured by DIC Corporation, and NC7000H and NC7300L manufactured by Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd., and are preferably binaphthyl-type epoxy resins.
[0022] The resin composition preferably contains an epoxy resin having a naphthalene skeleton in an amount of 30 parts by weight or more and 70 parts by weight or less, more preferably 40 parts by weight or more and 70 parts by weight or less, even more preferably 50 parts by weight or more and 70 parts by weight or less, and particularly preferably 55 parts by weight or more and 65 parts by weight or less, based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the resin composition.
[0023] In addition, from the viewpoint of adjusting the functional group density, it is preferable that the one or more epoxy resins include two or more epoxy resins, at least one of which is an epoxy resin with a functional group number of 3 or more, and at least another of which is an epoxy resin with a functional group number of less than 3. In addition, it is preferable that at least one of these two or more epoxy resins is an epoxy resin with a functional group number of 3 or more per molecule, and at least another of which is an epoxy resin with a functional group number of less than 3 per molecule. In this specification, the number of functional groups means the average number of functional groups per molecule present in the resin. For example, in a resin having a structure in which a repeating unit and a functional group is present in the repeating unit, it is difficult to make the number of repeating units (generally represented by n) of all molecules uniform in production, and molecules having different numbers of repeating units may be mixed. In that case, since molecules having different numbers of functional groups may be mixed, the sum of the number of functional groups x the existence ratio in the molecules present in the resin (i.e., the value obtained by averaging the number of functional groups by the existence ratio, and the total existence ratio is 1.) is used as the number of functional groups of the resin. For example, when the ratio of molecules having a functional group number of 2 in a resin is 0.5 and the ratio of molecules having a functional group number of 3 is 0.5, the number of functional groups of the resin is 2×0.5+3×0.5=2.5. By including an epoxy resin having a functional group number of 3 or more, the heat resistance of the resin composition after curing can be improved, but the resin composition after curing may become brittle. By including an epoxy resin having a functional group number of less than 3, the brittleness of the resin composition after curing can be improved, but the heat resistance of the resin composition after curing may decrease. That is, by including an epoxy resin having a functional group number of 3 or more and an epoxy resin having a functional group number of less than 3, the physical properties of the resin composition can be adjusted, and in particular, the heat resistance of the resin composition after curing can be secured while the brittleness can be improved. When the epoxy resin having a functional group number of 3 or more is a monomer, it preferably has a functional group number of 3 or more and 4 or less. In addition, when the epoxy resin has a large number of functional groups in the main chain, such as a novolac type, it is preferable that the epoxy resin has a functional group number of 3 or more and a functional group equivalent of 100 g / eq or more and 400 g / eq or less.Examples of the epoxy resin include bisphenol A type epoxy resin, bisphenol F type epoxy resin, bisphenol E type epoxy resin, cresol novolac type epoxy resin, phenol novolac type epoxy resin, alkyl type epoxy resin, glycidylamine type epoxy resin, glycidyl ester type epoxy resin, phenol aralkyl type epoxy resin, trisphenol type epoxy resin, tetraphenylethane type epoxy resin, biphenyl type epoxy resin, bisphenol fluorene type epoxy resin, triazine type epoxy resin, isocyanurate type epoxy resin, alicyclic epoxy resin, heterocyclic epoxy resin, naphthol aralkyl type epoxy resin, naphthol novolac type epoxy resin, naphthol-phenol co-condensed novolac type epoxy resin, naphthol-cresol co-condensed novolac type epoxy resin, naphthalene type epoxy resin, naphthylene ether type epoxy resin, binaphthyl type epoxy resin, anthracene type epoxy resin, and the like. These epoxy resins having a functionality of 3 or more and less than 3 can be used in combination.
[0024] The content of the epoxy resin having three or more functional groups is preferably from 15 to 70 parts by weight, more preferably from 20 to 50 parts by weight, even more preferably from 25 to 45 parts by weight, and particularly preferably from 30 to 40 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the resin composition. The content of the epoxy resin having less than three functional groups is preferably from 10 to 65 parts by weight, more preferably from 12 to 50 parts by weight, even more preferably from 14 to 40 parts by weight, and particularly preferably from 16 to 30 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the resin composition.
[0025] The resin composition of the present invention contains a curing agent. The curing agent contributes to the promotion of the crosslinking reaction between the two or more polymers and one or more epoxy resins, and the reaction between epoxy resins. The curing agent is not particularly limited as long as it can promote the epoxy reaction, and preferred examples include imidazole-based curing agents and phosphorus-based curing agents.
[0026] The content of the curing agent is preferably 0.3 parts by weight or more and 10 parts by weight or less, more preferably 1.0 parts by weight or more and 5.0 parts by weight or less, and even more preferably 2.0 parts by weight or more and 4.0 parts by weight or less, based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the resin composition.
[0027] Resin Coated Copper Foil The resin composition of the present invention is preferably used as a resin layer of a resin-coated copper foil. By forming the resin-coated copper foil in advance, it is possible to efficiently manufacture a member having a glass substrate without separately forming a resin layer. That is, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a resin-coated copper foil is provided, which comprises a copper layer having a smooth surface with an aspect ratio Str of the surface property measured in accordance with ISO25178 of 0.3 to 1, and a resin layer composed of a resin composition provided on the smooth surface. Typically, the resin composition is in the form of a resin layer, and the resin composition is applied to the copper foil (copper layer) using a bar coater so that the thickness of the resin layer after drying is a predetermined value, and then dried to obtain a resin-coated copper foil. The coating method is arbitrary, but can be applied using a doctor blade or a bar coater, and can also be a gravure coating method, a die coating method, a knife coating method, or the like.
[0028] The copper foil may be a metal foil (so-called raw foil) that has been electrolytically or rolled, or may be in the form of a surface-treated foil that has been surface-treated on at least one side. The surface treatment may be any of various surface treatments that are performed to improve or impart certain properties (e.g., rust resistance, moisture resistance, chemical resistance, acid resistance, heat resistance, and adhesion to a substrate) to the surface of the metal foil. The surface treatment may be performed on at least one side of the metal foil, or on both sides of the metal foil. Examples of surface treatments performed on copper foil include rust prevention treatment, silane treatment, roughening treatment, and barrier formation treatment.
[0029] The copper layer has a smooth surface from the viewpoint of downsizing (miniaturization) of the circuit. The aspect ratio Str of the surface texture is an index for judging the smoothness of the copper layer surface. The aspect ratio Str of the surface texture is an index showing the anisotropy of the surface height (presence or absence of abruptly changing areas). The closer Str is to 0, the more anisotropic it is, and the closer Str is to 1, the less anisotropic it is. In the case of bonding an ultra-smooth glass to a copper layer, it is preferable that the Str of the copper layer surface is close to 1 (no anisotropy) from the viewpoint of reducing bonding defects. From this viewpoint, the aspect ratio Str of the surface texture of the copper layer is preferably 0.3 to 1, more preferably 0.4 to 1, even more preferably 0.5 to 1, and particularly preferably 0.6 to 1.
[0030] The maximum height Sz of the surface of the copper layer on the side in contact with the resin layer is preferably 6.8 μm or less, more preferably 0.15 μm to 6.8 μm, even more preferably 0.25 μm to 5.0 μm, and particularly preferably 0.3 μm to 3.0 μm. Within such a range, the resin layer can adequately follow and ensure sufficient adhesion between the copper layer and the glass substrate. In this specification, the "maximum height Sz" is a parameter that represents the distance from the highest point to the lowest point on the surface measured in accordance with ISO25178.
[0031] The maximum peak height Sp on the surface of the copper layer in contact with the resin layer is preferably 3.3 μm or less, more preferably 0.06 μm or more and 3.1 μm or less, even more preferably 0.06 μm or more and 3.0 μm or less, and particularly preferably 0.07 μm or more and 2.9 μm or less. Within such a range, the resin layer can follow suitably and ensure sufficient adhesion between the copper layer and the glass substrate. In this specification, the "maximum peak height Sp" is a three-dimensional parameter that represents the maximum value of the height from the average plane of the surface, measured in accordance with ISO25178.
[0032] The root mean square gradient Sdq on the surface of the copper layer in contact with the resin layer is preferably 0.01 to 2.3, more preferably 0.02 to 2.0, and even more preferably 0.04 to 1.8. Within such a range, the resin layer can follow suit to ensure sufficient adhesion between the copper layer and the glass substrate. In this specification, the "root mean square gradient Sdq" is a parameter calculated by the root mean square of the inclination at all points of the defined area measured in accordance with ISO25178. In other words, since it is a three-dimensional parameter that evaluates the magnitude of the local inclination angle, the steepness of the surface unevenness can be quantified. For example, the Sdq of a completely flat surface is 0, and if the surface is inclined, the Sdq becomes large. The Sdq of a plane consisting of a 45-degree inclination component is 1.
[0033] The above-mentioned Str, Sz, Sp and Sdq can be measured using a commercially available laser microscope (for example, OLS5000 manufactured by Olympus Corporation) in accordance with ISO25178 and according to the procedures shown in the Examples.
[0034] The thickness of the copper layer is preferably 5 μm or less, more preferably 0.5 μm to 4 μm, even more preferably 1 μm to 4 μm, and particularly preferably 1 μm to 3 μm. With such a thickness, when cutting a fine pattern circuit, it is possible to reduce circuit thinning such as undercut. However, when using such a thin copper layer, it is preferable to provide a carrier layer on the surface opposite to the smooth surface of the copper layer in order to improve the handleability of the resin-coated copper foil. That is, it is preferable that a copper layer (ultra-thin copper foil) having a thickness of 5 μm or less is provided in the form of a carrier-coated copper foil. Therefore, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a resin-coated copper foil is provided in which the copper layer has a thickness of 5 μm or less and further includes a carrier layer on the surface opposite to the smooth surface of the copper layer. In addition, for circuit formation, a copper layer of a desired thickness can be further formed on the copper layer, typically using a known method such as copper plating.
[0035] The thickness of the resin layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 μm or more and 10 μm or less, more preferably 2 μm or more and 8 μm or less, even more preferably 2 μm or more and 7 μm or less, and particularly preferably 3 μm or more and 7 μm or less. With such a thickness, the above-mentioned characteristics of the present invention can be more effectively realized, and the resin layer can be easily formed by applying the resin composition. Furthermore, the handling property is improved.
[0036] composite material The resin composition of the present invention is preferably used as a resin layer of a composite material comprising a glass substrate and a resin-coated copper foil. That is, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a composite material is provided comprising a glass substrate and a resin-coated copper foil provided on at least one surface of the glass substrate so that the resin layer is in contact with the glass substrate. As described above, when a composite material is produced by bonding a copper foil and a glass substrate via a resin composition as a resin layer, a lamination method is desirable because it allows continuous production and has a low possibility of cracking the glass substrate. However, although the lamination method has the above-mentioned advantages, it is difficult to increase the pressure as much as the pressing method, and it is difficult to ensure the adhesion between the copper foil and the glass substrate. Therefore, by using the resin composition of the present invention as a resin layer, the copper foil and the glass substrate can be bonded by the lamination method to efficiently produce a composite material. EXAMPLES

[0040] (2) Preparation of diluted varnish A portion of the obtained varnish was set aside, and cyclopentanone was added as a dilution solvent so as to give a diluted solids concentration (wt %) shown in Tables 1 and 2, followed by stirring to obtain a diluted varnish.
[0041] (3) Preparation of resin film The varnish obtained in (1) above was applied to a fluororesin film (Aflex (registered trademark), manufactured by AGC Inc.) and air-dried for 15 seconds, and then placed in an oven preheated to 150°C and dried by heating for 5 minutes. In this way, a resin layer with Aflex was obtained. At this time, the coating conditions were adjusted so that the thickness of the resin layer after drying (not including the thickness of the Aflex) would be 20 μm. The Aflex was peeled off from the obtained resin layer with Aflex, and five sheets of only the resin layer were laminated. The obtained resin laminate was pressed in a vacuum press at 220°C and 40 kgf / cm. 2 The mixture was cured under these conditions for 90 minutes to obtain a resin film.
[0042] (4) Preparation of resin-coated copper foil An electrolytic copper foil (manufactured by Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd.) having a thickness of 2 μm and a smooth surface with a surface texture aspect ratio Str of 0.39, a maximum height Sz of 0.81, a maximum peak height Sp of 0.40, and a root-mean-square gradient Sdq of 0.22 was prepared. The aspect ratio Str, maximum height Sz, maximum peak height Sp, and root-mean-square gradient Sdq of the surface texture were measured by surface roughness analysis using a laser microscope (manufactured by Olympus Corporation, OLS5000) in accordance with ISO25178 as follows. First, the area of the smooth surface of the copper foil was 16384 μm 2 The surface profile of the region was measured with the above laser microscope using a 100x objective lens under the conditions of scanning mode "3D standard + color" and shooting mode "Auto". After removing spike noise from the obtained smooth surface surface profile by noise removal and automatically removing the inclination, the aspect ratio Str of the surface texture was measured by surface texture analysis. At this time, shape removal was performed by F calculation (selecting "multiple surface 3rd order"), and the cutoff wavelength by the S filter was set to 0.55 μm and the cutoff wavelength by the L filter was set to 10 μm. The above Str, Sz, Sp, and Sdq were measured in eight different fields of view, and the average values of Str, Sz, Sp, and Sdq in all fields of view were adopted as the values of the smooth surface of the sample.
[0043] The diluted varnish obtained in (2) above was applied to the smooth surface of the copper foil using a bar coater, and then placed in an oven preheated to 150° C. for 2 minutes for heating and drying to obtain a resin-coated copper foil. At this time, the coating conditions were adjusted so that the thickness of the resin layer after drying would be 5 μm.
[0044] (5) Lamination with glass substrate The resin-coated copper foil obtained in (4) above was cut into a square of 10.5 cm x 10.5 cm. The cut resin-coated copper foil was placed on a 0.5 mm thick glass substrate (Corning, alkali-free glass, Eagle XG) measuring 10 cm x 10 cm so that the resin surface was in contact with the glass substrate, and laminated using a vacuum laminator. This lamination was performed by evacuation for 20 seconds, and then holding the laminate under conditions of 170°C and 0.95 MPa for 70 seconds. In this way, a laminated composite material comprising a glass substrate and a resin-coated copper foil was obtained.
[0045] (6) Main curing The laminated composite material obtained in (5) above was subjected to additional heat treatment to complete the curing, and a fully cured (C-stage) composite material comprising a glass substrate and a resin-coated copper foil was obtained. The additional heat treatment was performed by placing the composite material in an oven preheated to 230°C and holding it there for 30 minutes.
[0046] (7) Various evaluations The produced resin films or composite materials were evaluated as follows.
[0047] <Storage modulus> A rectangular sample of 5 mm x 50 mm was cut out from the resin film obtained in (3) above, and DMA measurement was performed using a DMA (dynamic viscoelasticity measurement) device (Hitachi High-Tech Science, DMA7100). This measurement was performed in accordance with JIS K 7244-4:1999, by placing a resin with a test piece width of 5.0 mm and a test piece thickness of 100 μm in a clamp with a clamp length of 20.0 mm, and heating it from 30 ° C to 280 ° C at a temperature increase rate of 5 ° C / min in an air atmosphere, at a measurement frequency of 1 Hz. The obtained measurement data was analyzed, and the storage modulus E' (MPa) at 200 ° C was calculated and evaluated according to the following criteria. The results were as shown in Tables 3 and 4. - Rating AA: 300MPa or more - Rating A: 30MPa or more and less than 300MPa - Rating B: 10MPa or more and less than 30MPa - Rating C: Less than 10MPa
