Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a photosensitive resin composition, and further to a photosensitive film, a semiconductor package substrate, and a semiconductor device obtained by using the photosensitive resin composition. [Background technology]

[0002] Polyimide resins, which have excellent heat resistance and insulating properties, have been used for insulating layers of semiconductor devices. In addition, since polyimide resins have low solubility in solvents, they are used in photosensitive resin compositions in the form of polyimide precursors, and after forming an insulating layer or the like, the polyimide precursors are cyclized to form an insulating layer (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2003-084435 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In recent years, with the increase in communication speed and capacity in communication devices, it is desirable for photosensitive resin compositions used in forming insulating layers of semiconductor package substrates of communication devices or rewiring layers of wafer level packages (WLPs) to have excellent limit resolution from the viewpoint of reducing the diameter of holes (via holes) provided in the rewiring layers. In addition, from the viewpoint of ease of manufacturing semiconductor packages, it is desirable for the photosensitive resin composition used in semiconductor package substrates to have a wide process window of exposure dose when exposing the photosensitive resin composition. Here, the limit resolution refers to the limit of the size of the opening that can be formed in the photosensitive resin composition by exposure and development, and the smaller the better. In addition, the process window refers to a range in which cracks do not occur in the opening that can be formed in the photosensitive resin composition even if the exposure dose fluctuates from the optimal value, or within an acceptable range.

[0005] However, the present inventors have found that increasing the limiting resolution of a photosensitive resin composition reduces the process window, making the holes more susceptible to cracks after the exposure and development steps.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and has an object to provide a photosensitive resin composition capable of giving a cured product having excellent limiting resolution, a wide process window, and suppressed cracking, and a photosensitive film, a semiconductor package substrate, and a semiconductor device obtained using the photosensitive resin composition. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] As a result of intensive research, the present inventors have found that the above object can be achieved by incorporating a crosslinking agent having one ethylenically unsaturated bond and a crosslinking agent having two or more ethylenically unsaturated bonds in a polyimide precursor in combination, and have thus completed the present invention.

[0008] That is, the present invention includes the following.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] The photosensitive resin composition, the photosensitive film, the semiconductor package substrate, the semiconductor device, and the method for producing the semiconductor package substrate of the present invention will be described in detail below. In the following description, the term "dielectric constant" refers to the "relative dielectric constant" unless otherwise specified.

[0011] [Photosensitive resin composition] The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains (A) a polyimide precursor, (B) a crosslinking agent having one ethylenically unsaturated bond, (C) a crosslinking agent having two or more ethylenically unsaturated bonds, and (D) a photoradical generator. By incorporating the components (A) to (D) in combination into the photosensitive resin composition, a cured product having excellent limit resolution, a wide process window, and suppressed crack generation can be obtained. In addition, a cured product having excellent dielectric tangent and dielectric constant can usually be obtained. The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is suitable as a negative photosensitive resin composition. Each component contained in the photosensitive resin composition will be described below.

[0012] <(A) Polyimide precursor> The photosensitive resin composition contains a polyimide precursor (A) as component (A). By including component (A) in the photosensitive resin composition, a cured product having excellent limit resolution and excellent dielectric properties can be obtained. The component (A) may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0013] The component (A) is a resin that can form a polyimide by ring closure upon heating, and may contain a plurality of one or more structural units selected from the group consisting of an amic acid structural unit and an amic acid ester structural unit.

[0014] From the viewpoint of improving the limit resolution, it is preferable that the polyamic acid ester structural unit of the component (A) contains an indane skeleton.

In addition, the aliphatic dianhydride may contain an unsaturated aliphatic chain and an aromatic chain at a site other than the site where the acid anhydride group is directly bonded.

[0017] The molecular weight of the aliphatic acid dianhydride is preferably not more than 400. By setting the molecular weight within this range, swelling of the first photosensitive resin composition layer during development can be suppressed and the residual film rate can be effectively increased.

[0018] Examples of the aliphatic acid dianhydride include 1,2,4,5-cyclohexanetetracarboxylic dianhydride, bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic dianhydride, bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-endo-3-endo-5-exo-6-exo-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic dianhydride, bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2-exo-3-exo-5-exo-6-exo- 2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic dianhydride, bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic dianhydride, 2-(3,4-dicarboxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl)succinic dianhydride, 5-(2,5-dioxotetrahydrofuryl)-3-methyl-3-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic dianhydride, etc. Among them, 2-(3,4-dicarboxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl)succinic dianhydride, 5-(2,5-dioxotetrahydrofuryl)-3-methyl-3-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic dianhydride, etc. are mentioned.

[0021] As the epoxy compound containing an ethylenically unsaturated bond, a compound containing an ethylenically unsaturated bond and an epoxy group can be used. The epoxy group may be contained as a glycidyl group. Examples of the epoxy compound containing an ethylenically unsaturated bond include glycidyl acrylate, glycidyl methacrylate, 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate glycidyl ether, and 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl methacrylate. The epoxy compound containing an ethylenically unsaturated bond may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

The radical reactive group represents a reactive group that can undergo polymerization by radicals generated by heat or light, and examples thereof include groups containing non-aromatic carbon-carbon unsaturated bonds. When a polyimide precursor containing a radical reactive group is used, the polyimide precursor is crosslinked by exposure to light, and the solubility of the photosensitive resin composition layer in a developer can be effectively reduced. The radical reactive group may be contained, for example, in the esterified portion of the amic acid ester structural unit.

[0023] In addition, when the polyamic acid ester structural unit is a structural unit having a structure obtained by reacting a part or all of the carboxyl group with an epoxy group of an epoxy compound containing an ethylenically unsaturated bond, since the epoxy compound contains an ethylenically unsaturated bond, the epoxy compound residue may contain an ethylenically unsaturated bond, and therefore the epoxy compound residue can function as a radical reactive group.

[ka] (In formula (A-1), A represents a tetravalent organic group, B represents a divalent organic group, and R 1 and R 2 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group.

The substituent may be one type or two or more types.

[0030] The formula weight range of A in formula (A-1) is preferably not more than 328. When the formula weight of A is within the above range, it is usually possible to suppress swelling of the photosensitive resin composition during development and to effectively increase the residual film rate.

[0034] The divalent organic group may have a substituent. Examples of the substituent include the same examples as those that the tetravalent organic group may have. The substituent may be one type or two or more types.

[0077] From the viewpoint of limit resolution, the weight average molecular weight of the (A) component is preferably at least 5,000, more preferably at least 10,000, and is preferably at most 1,000,000, more preferably at most 500,000, and even more preferably at most 200,000.

[0078] From the viewpoint of limiting resolution, the content of the component (A) is preferably 10% by mass or more, more preferably 20% by mass or more, even more preferably 30% by mass or more, 40% by mass or more, 50% by mass or more, 60% by mass or more, 70% by mass or more, 80% by mass or more, or 90% by mass or more, when the non-volatile components of the photosensitive resin composition are taken as 100% by mass, and is preferably 99% by mass or less, more preferably 98% by mass or less, and even more preferably 97% by mass or less.

[0080] <(B) Crosslinking agent having one ethylenically unsaturated bond> The photosensitive resin composition contains a crosslinking agent having one ethylenically unsaturated bond as the component (B). However, the component (B) does not include those corresponding to the component (A). Conventionally, when a developer is used to develop a photosensitive resin composition, the cured product of the photosensitive resin composition shrinks with the evaporation of the developer, which may cause cracks. However, the component (B) has only one ethylenically unsaturated bond that can contribute to a crosslinking reaction, so there are few crosslinking points, and therefore it has excellent flexibility. Therefore, when crosslinking progresses significantly due to a large amount of exposure, the stress during curing is relaxed by the stress relaxation effect of the component (B), and as a result, the occurrence of cracks is suppressed. On the other hand, when crosslinking progresses slightly due to a small amount of exposure, there is a possibility that the crosslinking of the component (B) does not progress significantly, but even in that case, the crosslinking of the component (C) having two or more ethylenically unsaturated bonds progresses, so that a sufficient amount of crosslinking points are generated in the composition, and mechanical strength is improved. In addition, with a small amount of exposure, not all of the crosslinking points of component (C) are crosslinked, and the crosslinked network does not become excessively dense, so that component (C) may exert a stress relaxation effect. Therefore, cracks can be suppressed in both cases where the exposure amount is large and small, making it possible to widen the process window. Component (B) may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.

[0081] (B) As a component, a compound having one ethylenically unsaturated bond can be used. Such a compound is preferably a compound having one group having an ethylenically unsaturated bond, more preferably a compound having one group having an ethylenically unsaturated bond and at least one of the carbon atoms at the α-position of the ethylenically unsaturated bond being bonded to either a carbonyl group or an aromatic group, and even more preferably a compound having one group having an ethylenically unsaturated bond and at least one of the carbon atoms at the α-position of the ethylenically unsaturated bond being bonded to a carbonyl group. Further, the (B) component may contain a functional group such as a carboxyl group in addition to the group having an ethylenically unsaturated bond. The carbon atom at the α-position of the ethylenically unsaturated bond refers to the first carbon atom adjacent to the carbon atom bonded by a carbon-carbon double bond. Also, the ethylenically unsaturated bond represents a non-aromatic carbon-carbon unsaturated bond as described above, and for example, represents a non-aromatic carbon-carbon double bond, a carbon-carbon triple bond, etc.

Among them, the photosensitive resin composition can be used in a wide range of applications in which photosensitive resin compositions are used, such as a photosensitive resin composition for insulating layers of printed wiring boards (printed wiring boards in which a cured product of a photosensitive resin composition is used as an insulating layer), a photosensitive resin composition for interlayer insulating layers (printed wiring boards in which a cured product of a photosensitive resin composition is used as an interlayer insulating layer), a photosensitive resin composition for plating (printed wiring boards in which plating is formed on a cured product of a photosensitive resin composition), and a photosensitive resin composition for solder resists (printed wiring boards in which a cured product of a photosensitive resin composition is used as a solder resist), a photosensitive resin composition for rewiring formation layers of wafer-level packages (wafer-level packages in which a cured product of a photosensitive resin composition is used as a rewiring formation layer), The photosensitive resin composition can be suitably used as a photosensitive resin composition for a rewiring formation layer in a fan-out wafer-level package (a fan-out wafer-level package in which a cured product of the photosensitive resin composition serves as a rewiring formation layer), a photosensitive resin composition for a rewiring formation layer in a fan-out panel-level package (a fan-out panel-level package in which a cured product of the photosensitive resin composition serves as a rewiring formation layer), a photosensitive resin composition for a buffer coat (a semiconductor device in which a cured product of the photosensitive resin composition serves as a buffer coat), or a photosensitive resin composition for an insulating layer for a display (a display in which a cured product of the photosensitive resin composition serves as an insulating layer).

[0142] [Photosensitive film] The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can be applied to a photosensitive film. The photosensitive film can include a support and a photosensitive resin composition layer formed on the support. The photosensitive resin composition layer is a layer made of the above-mentioned photosensitive resin composition.

These supports are preferably coated on the surface with a release agent such as a silicone coating agent or a non-silicone coating agent in order to facilitate removal. Examples of supports whose surfaces have been treated with such release agents include "AL-5" manufactured by Lintec. The thickness of the support is preferably in the range of 5 μm to 100 μm, and more preferably in the range of 10 μm to 50 μm.

It is preferable that the adhesive strength between the photosensitive resin composition layer and the protective film is smaller than the adhesive strength between the photosensitive resin composition layer and the support.

[0147] The photosensitive film can be produced, for example, by applying the photosensitive resin composition onto a support and, if necessary, drying off the (F) solvent.

[0148] [Semiconductor package substrate] The semiconductor package substrate of the present invention includes an insulating layer formed from a cured product of the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention. The insulating layer is preferably used as a rewiring layer, an interlayer insulating layer, a buffer coat film, or a solder resist.

[0149] In detail, the semiconductor package substrate of the first embodiment of the present invention can be manufactured using the above-mentioned photosensitive resin composition, and the cured product of the photosensitive resin composition is used as an insulating layer. (I) forming a photosensitive resin composition layer containing the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention on a circuit board; (II) a step of irradiating the photosensitive resin composition layer with actinic rays; and (III) developing the photosensitive resin composition layer; Includes, in this order.

[0150] <Process (I)> Methods for forming the photosensitive resin composition layer include a method in which a resin varnish containing the photosensitive resin composition is directly applied onto the circuit board, and a method in which the above-mentioned photosensitive film is used.

[0151] When a resin varnish containing a photosensitive resin composition is directly applied onto a circuit board, the component (G) is dried and volatilized to form a photosensitive resin composition layer on the circuit board.

[0152] Examples of methods for applying resin varnish include gravure coating, microgravure coating, reverse coating, kiss reverse coating, die coating, slot die, lip coating, comma coating, blade coating, roll coating, knife coating, curtain coating, chamber gravure coating, slot orifice, spin coating, slit coating, spray coating, dip coating, hot melt coating, bar coating, applicator, air knife coating, curtain flow coating, offset printing, brush coating, and full-surface printing using screen printing.

[0153] The resin varnish may be applied in several steps, may be applied in one step, or may be applied by combining a plurality of different methods. Among them, the die coating method is preferable because of its excellent uniformity of application. In addition, in order to avoid contamination by foreign matter, it is preferable to carry out the application process in an environment where foreign matter is unlikely to be generated, such as a clean room.

[0154] After the resin varnish is applied, it is dried, if necessary, in a hot air oven or far-infrared oven, etc. The drying conditions are preferably 80° C. to 120° C. for 3 minutes to 13 minutes. In this manner, a photosensitive resin composition layer is formed on the circuit board.

[0155] Examples of the circuit board include a glass epoxy board, a metal board, a polyester board, a polyimide board, a BT resin board, and a thermosetting polyphenylene ether board. The circuit board here refers to a board in which a patterned conductor layer (circuit) is formed on one or both sides of the support board as described above. In addition, in a multilayer printed wiring board formed by alternately laminating a conductor layer and an insulating layer, a board in which one or both sides of the outermost layer of the multilayer printed wiring board are patterned conductor layers (circuits) is also included in the circuit board referred to here. The surface of the conductor layer may be previously roughened by blackening, copper etching, or the like.

[0156] On the other hand, when a photosensitive film is used, the photosensitive resin composition layer side is laminated on one or both sides of the circuit board using a vacuum laminator. In the lamination process, if the photosensitive film has a protective film, the protective film is removed, and then the photosensitive film and the circuit board are preheated as necessary, and the photosensitive resin composition layer is pressure-bonded to the circuit board while being pressurized and heated. For the photosensitive film, a method of laminating the film to the circuit board under reduced pressure by a vacuum lamination method is preferably used.

[0157] The lamination conditions are not particularly limited, but for example, the pressure bonding temperature (lamination temperature) is preferably 70° C. to 140° C., and the pressure bonding pressure is preferably 1 kgf / cm. 2 ~11kgf / cm 2 (9.8×10 4 N / m 2 ~107.9×10 4 N / m 2 ), the pressure bonding time is preferably 5 seconds to 300 seconds, and lamination is preferably performed under reduced pressure with an air pressure of 20 mmHg (26.7 hPa) or less. The lamination process may be a batch process or a continuous process using rolls. The vacuum lamination method can be performed using a commercially available vacuum laminator. Examples of commercially available vacuum laminators include a vacuum applicator manufactured by Nikko Materials Co., Ltd., a vacuum pressure laminator manufactured by Meiki Seisakusho Co., Ltd., a roll-type dry coater manufactured by Hitachi Industries Co., Ltd., and a vacuum laminator manufactured by Hitachi AIC Co., Ltd.

[0158] <Process (II)> After the photosensitive resin composition layer is provided on the circuit board, an exposure step is then performed in which a predetermined portion of the photosensitive resin composition layer is irradiated with active light through a mask pattern. Examples of active light include ultraviolet light, visible light, electron beams, and X-rays, and ultraviolet light is particularly preferred. The irradiation dose of ultraviolet light is approximately 10 mJ / cm. 2 ~1000mJ / cm 2There are two types of exposure methods: contact exposure, in which a mask pattern is brought into close contact with the circuit board, and non-contact exposure, in which parallel light is used for exposure without contact, and either method may be used.

[0159] In step (II), vias can be formed using a via pattern such as a round hole pattern as a mask pattern. The via diameter (opening diameter) is preferably 100 μm or less, more preferably 50 μm or less, and even more preferably 30 μm or less. The lower limit is not particularly limited, but may be 0.1 μm or more, 0.5 μm or more, etc.

[0160] <Process (III)> After the exposure step, a development step is carried out in which the unexposed portions of the photosensitive resin composition layer are removed with a developer, thereby forming a pattern. The development is usually carried out by wet development.

[0161] In the case of the wet development, a developer that is safe, stable, and easy to operate is used, such as an alkaline solution, an aqueous developer, an organic solvent, etc. As a developing method, a known method such as spraying, swing immersion, brushing, scraping, etc. is appropriately adopted.

[0162] Examples of alkaline aqueous solutions used as the developer include aqueous solutions of alkali metal hydroxides such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide; carbonates or bicarbonates such as sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate; alkali metal phosphates such as sodium phosphate and potassium phosphate; and alkali metal pyrophosphates such as sodium pyrophosphate and potassium pyrophosphate; and aqueous solutions of organic bases that do not contain metal ions, such as tetraalkylammonium hydroxide. An aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) is preferred because it does not contain metal ions and does not affect the semiconductor chip.

[0163] These alkaline aqueous solutions may contain a surfactant, an antifoaming agent, etc., to improve the development effect. The pH of the alkaline aqueous solution is, for example, preferably in the range of 8 to 12, more preferably in the range of 9 to 11. The base concentration of the alkaline aqueous solution is preferably 0.1% by mass to 10% by mass. The temperature of the alkaline aqueous solution can be appropriately selected according to the developability of the photosensitive resin composition layer, but is preferably 20°C to 50°C.

[0164] Examples of organic solvents used as developers include acetone, ethyl acetate, alkoxyethanols having an alkoxy group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, butyl alcohol, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, cyclopentanone, and cyclohexanone.

[0165] The concentration of such an organic solvent is preferably 2% by mass to 90% by mass based on the total amount of the developer. The temperature of such an organic solvent can be adjusted according to the developability. Furthermore, such an organic solvent can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds. Examples of organic solvent-based developers used alone include 1,1,1-trichloroethane, N-methylpyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylformamide, cyclohexanone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and γ-butyrolactone.

[0166] In forming a pattern, two or more kinds of developing methods may be used in combination as necessary. The developing methods include a dip method, a bath method, a spray method, a high-pressure spray method, brushing, slapping, etc., and the high-pressure spray method is suitable for improving resolution. When adopting a spray method, the spray pressure is preferably 0.05 MPa to 0.3 MPa.

[0167] <Thermal curing (post-bake) process> After the above step (III) is completed, a thermal curing (post-baking) step is performed as necessary. Although the curing of the photosensitive resin composition layer may proceed in the above steps (I) to (III), the curing of the photosensitive resin composition can be further promoted by the thermal curing step to obtain an insulating layer having excellent mechanical strength. Examples of the post-baking step include a heating step using a clean oven. The atmosphere during thermal curing may be in air or in an inert gas atmosphere such as nitrogen. The heating conditions may be appropriately selected depending on the type and content of the resin component in the photosensitive resin composition, and are preferably selected in the range of 150°C to 250°C for 20 minutes to 180 minutes, and more preferably in the range of 160°C to 230°C for 30 minutes to 120 minutes.

[0168] <Other processes> The method for producing a semiconductor package substrate may further include a drilling step and a desmearing step after forming an insulating layer as a cured photosensitive resin composition layer. These steps may be carried out according to various methods used in the production of semiconductor package substrates and known to those skilled in the art.

[0169] After forming the insulating layer, if desired, a hole-making process is performed on the insulating layer formed on the circuit board to form via holes and through holes. The hole-making process can be performed by a known method such as a drill, a laser, or plasma, or by a combination of these methods as necessary, but a hole-making process using a laser such as a carbon dioxide laser or a YAG laser is preferred.

[0170] The desmear process is a process of performing a desmear treatment. Generally, resin residue (smear) adheres to the inside of the opening formed in the hole drilling process. Since such smear can cause poor electrical connection, a process of removing the smear (desmear treatment) is performed in this process.

[0171] The desmear treatment may be performed by a dry desmear treatment, a wet desmear treatment, or a combination thereof.

[0172] An example of the dry desmear treatment is a desmear treatment using plasma. The desmear treatment using plasma can be performed using a commercially available plasma desmear treatment device. Among the commercially available plasma desmear treatment devices, examples suitable for manufacturing semiconductor package substrates include a microwave plasma device manufactured by Nissin Co., Ltd. and an atmospheric pressure plasma etching device manufactured by Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd.

[0173] The wet desmear treatment may be, for example, a desmear treatment using an oxidizing agent solution. When the desmear treatment is performed using an oxidizing agent solution, it is preferable to perform a swelling treatment using a swelling liquid, an oxidation treatment using an oxidizing agent solution, and a neutralization treatment using a neutralizing liquid in this order. Examples of the swelling liquid include "Swelling Dip Securigance P" and "Swelling Dip Securigance SBU" manufactured by Atotech Japan. The swelling treatment is preferably performed by immersing a substrate on which via holes or the like are formed in a swelling liquid heated to 60°C to 80°C for 5 to 10 minutes. The oxidizing agent solution is preferably an alkaline permanganate solution, and examples of the solution include a solution in which potassium permanganate or sodium permanganate is dissolved in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. The oxidation treatment using an oxidizing agent solution is preferably performed by immersing a substrate after the swelling treatment in an oxidizing agent solution heated to 60°C to 80°C for 10 to 30 minutes. Commercially available alkaline permanganate aqueous solutions include, for example, "Concentrate Compact CP" and "Dosing Solution Securiganth P" manufactured by Atotech Japan. The neutralization treatment using a neutralizing solution is preferably carried out by immersing the substrate after the oxidation treatment in the neutralizing solution at 30°C to 50°C for 3 to 10 minutes. The neutralizing solution is preferably an acidic aqueous solution, and a commercially available product thereof is, for example, "Reduction Solution Securiganth P" manufactured by Atotech Japan.

[0174] When the dry desmear treatment and the wet desmear treatment are performed in combination, the dry desmear treatment may be performed first, or the wet desmear treatment may be performed first.

[0175] In the case where the insulating layer is formed as any of a redistribution layer, an interlayer insulating layer, and a solder resist, a hole drilling step and a desmearing step may be performed after the thermal curing step. In addition, in the manufacturing method of the semiconductor package substrate, a plating step may be further performed.

[0176] The plating process is a process of forming a conductor layer on an insulating layer. The conductor layer may be formed by sputtering after the insulating layer is formed, or may be formed by a combination of electroless plating and electrolytic plating, or a plating resist having a reverse pattern to the conductor layer may be formed by electroless plating alone. Subsequent pattern formation methods include, for example, subtractive methods and semi-additive methods known to those skilled in the art.

[0177] The semiconductor package substrate according to the second embodiment of the present invention can be manufactured using the above-mentioned photosensitive resin composition, and the cured product of the photosensitive resin composition is used as a rewiring formation layer. Specifically, the manufacturing method of the semiconductor package substrate includes: (A) a step of laminating a temporary fixing film on a substrate; (B) a step of temporarily fixing a semiconductor chip on a temporary fixing film; (C) forming an encapsulation layer on the semiconductor chip; (D) peeling the substrate and the temporary fixing film from the semiconductor chip; (E) a step of forming a rewiring formation layer as an insulating layer on the surface of the semiconductor chip from which the base material and the temporary fixing film have been peeled off; (F) forming a rewiring layer as a conductor layer on the rewiring formation layer; and (G) forming a solder resist layer on the rewiring layer; The method for manufacturing the semiconductor chip package further comprises: (H) dicing the plurality of semiconductor chip packages into individual semiconductor chip packages; may also include

[0178] <Process (A)> Step (A) is a step of laminating a temporary fixing film on a substrate. The lamination conditions for the substrate and the temporary fixing film are not particularly limited, but for example, the pressure bonding temperature (lamination temperature) is preferably 70° C. to 140° C., and the pressure bonding pressure is preferably 1 kgf / cm. 2 ~11kgf / cm 2 The pressure bonding time is preferably 5 to 300 seconds, and lamination is preferably performed under reduced pressure with an air pressure of 20 mmHg or less. The lamination process may be a batch process or a continuous process using rolls. The vacuum lamination method can be performed using a commercially available vacuum laminator. Examples of commercially available vacuum laminators include a vacuum applicator manufactured by Nikko Materials Co., Ltd., a vacuum pressure laminator manufactured by Meiki Seisakusho Co., Ltd., a roll-type dry coater manufactured by Hitachi Industries Co., Ltd., and a vacuum laminator manufactured by Hitachi AIC Co., Ltd.

[0180] The temporary fixing film may be made of any material that can be peeled off from the semiconductor chip and can temporarily fix the semiconductor chip. Commercially available products include "Riva Alpha" manufactured by Nitto Denko Corporation.

[0181] <Process (B)> Step (B) is a step of temporarily fixing the semiconductor chip on the temporary fixing film. The temporary fixing of the semiconductor chip can be performed using, for example, a device such as a flip chip bonder or a die bonder. The layout and number of the semiconductor chips can be appropriately set depending on the shape and size of the temporary fixing film, the number of semiconductor packages to be produced, etc. For example, the semiconductor chips may be temporarily fixed by arranging them in a matrix shape of multiple rows and multiple columns.

[0182] <Process (C)> Step (C) is a step of forming an encapsulating layer on the semiconductor chip. The encapsulating layer can be made of any material having insulating properties, and the above-mentioned photosensitive resin composition can be used. The encapsulating layer is usually formed by a method including a step of forming an encapsulating resin composition layer on the semiconductor chip and a step of thermally curing the resin composition layer to form the encapsulating layer.

[0183] The formation of the encapsulating resin composition layer is preferably carried out by a compression molding method, in which a semiconductor chip and an encapsulating resin composition are usually placed in a mold, and pressure and, if necessary, heat are applied to the encapsulating resin composition in the mold to form an encapsulating resin composition layer that covers the semiconductor chip.

[0184] A specific operation of the compression molding method can be, for example, as follows. An upper mold and a lower mold are prepared as molds for compression molding. An encapsulating resin composition is applied to the semiconductor chip temporarily fixed on the temporary fixing film as described above. The semiconductor chip to which the encapsulating resin composition is applied is attached to the lower mold together with the substrate and the temporary fixing film. Then, the upper mold and the lower mold are clamped, and heat and pressure are applied to the encapsulating resin composition to perform compression molding.

[0185] A specific operation of the compression molding method may be, for example, as follows. An upper mold and a lower mold are prepared as molds for compression molding. An encapsulating resin composition is placed on the lower mold. A semiconductor chip is attached to the upper mold together with a substrate and a temporary fixing film. Then, the upper mold and the lower mold are clamped together so that the encapsulating resin composition placed on the lower mold contacts the semiconductor chip attached to the upper mold, and heat and pressure are applied to perform compression molding.

[0186] The molding conditions vary depending on the composition of the encapsulating resin composition, and appropriate conditions can be adopted so that good encapsulation is achieved. For example, the temperature of the mold during molding is preferably a temperature at which the encapsulating resin composition can exhibit excellent compression moldability, and is preferably 80°C or higher, more preferably 100°C or higher, particularly preferably 120°C or higher, and preferably 200°C or lower, more preferably 170°C or lower, and particularly preferably 150°C or lower. The pressure applied during molding is preferably 1 MPa or higher, more preferably 3 MPa or higher, particularly preferably 5 MPa or higher, and preferably 50 MPa or lower, more preferably 30 MPa or lower, and particularly preferably 20 MPa or lower. The cure time is preferably 1 minute or more, more preferably 2 minutes or more, particularly preferably 5 minutes or more, and preferably 60 minutes or lower, more preferably 30 minutes or lower, and particularly preferably 20 minutes or lower. Usually, the mold is removed after the encapsulating resin composition layer is formed. The mold may be removed before or after the encapsulating resin composition layer is thermally cured.

[0187] The compression molding method may be performed by discharging the encapsulating resin composition filled in a cartridge into a lower mold.

[0188] <Process (D)> Step (D) is a step of peeling off the substrate and the temporary fixing film from the semiconductor chip. It is desirable to adopt an appropriate peeling method according to the material of the temporary fixing film. For example, the peeling method may be a method of heating, foaming or expanding the temporary fixing film to peel it off. In addition, for example, the peeling method may be a method of irradiating the temporary fixing film with ultraviolet light through the substrate to reduce the adhesive strength of the temporary fixing film to peel it off.

[0189] In the method of peeling off the temporary fixing film by heating, foaming or expanding it, the heating conditions are usually 100° C. to 250° C. for 1 second to 90 seconds or 5 minutes to 15 minutes. In the method of peeling off the temporary fixing film by reducing the adhesive strength of the temporary fixing film by irradiating it with ultraviolet light, the irradiation amount of ultraviolet light is usually 10 mJ / cm 2 ~1000mJ / cm 2 It is.

[0190] <Process (E)> Step (E) is a step of forming a rewiring formation layer as an insulating layer on the surface of the semiconductor chip from which the base material and the temporary fixing film have been peeled off. The rewiring formation layer uses the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention. The method of forming the rewiring formation layer is the same as the method of forming the photosensitive resin composition layer in step (I) in the first embodiment.

[0191] When forming the rewiring formation layer, via holes may be formed in the rewiring formation layer to provide interlayer connection between the semiconductor chip and the rewiring layer.

[0192] The via hole can be formed by carrying out an exposure step of irradiating the surface of the photosensitive resin composition layer for forming the rewiring formation layer with active light through a mask pattern, and a development step of developing and removing the non-exposed portion not irradiated with active light. The amount and time of irradiation of active light can be appropriately set according to the photosensitive resin composition layer. Examples of the exposure method include a contact exposure method in which a mask pattern is closely attached to the photosensitive resin composition layer and exposed, and a non-contact exposure method in which a mask pattern is not closely attached to the photosensitive resin composition layer and exposed using parallel light. The active light, the alkaline aqueous solution, and the exposure and development method are as described above.

[0193] The shape of the via hole is not particularly limited, but is generally circular (approximately circular). The top diameter of the via hole is preferably 50 μm or less, more preferably 30 μm or less, and even more preferably 20 μm or less, and is preferably 0.1 μm or more, preferably 0.5 μm or more, and more preferably 1.0 μm or more. Here, the top diameter of the via hole refers to the diameter of the opening of the via hole on the surface of the rewiring formation layer.

[0194] <Process (F)> Step (F) is a step of forming a redistribution layer as a conductor layer on the redistribution formation layer. The method of forming the redistribution layer on the redistribution formation layer may be the same as the method of forming a conductor layer on an insulating layer in the first embodiment. Steps (E) and (F) may be repeated to alternately stack (build up) the redistribution layers and the redistribution formation layers.

[0195] <Process (G)> Step (G) is a step of forming a solder resist layer on the rewiring layer. The material of the solder resist layer can be any material having insulating properties. Among them, photosensitive resins and thermosetting resins are preferred from the viewpoint of ease of manufacturing the semiconductor chip package. The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention may also be used.

[0196] In step (G), bumping processing may be performed to form bumps, if necessary. The bumping processing can be performed by a method such as solder balls or solder plating. In addition, the formation of via holes in the bumping processing can be performed in the same manner as in step (E).

[0197] The method for manufacturing a semiconductor chip package may include a step (H) in addition to the steps (A) to (G). The step (H) is a step of dicing a plurality of semiconductor chip packages into individual semiconductor chip packages to separate them. The method for dicing the semiconductor chip packages into individual semiconductor chip packages is not particularly limited.

[0198] [Semiconductor Devices] Examples of semiconductor devices in which the above-mentioned semiconductor chip package is mounted include various semiconductor devices used in electrical products (e.g., computers, mobile phones, smartphones, tablet devices, wearable devices, digital cameras, medical equipment, televisions, etc.) and vehicles (e.g., motorcycles, automobiles, trains, ships, aircraft, etc.).

[0206] <Preparation of photosensitive film> A PET film (Toray Industries, Inc., "Lumirror T6AM", thickness 38 μm) was prepared as a support. The photosensitive resin composition prepared in each Example and Comparative Example was uniformly applied to the PET film using a die coater so that the film thickness of the photosensitive resin composition layer after drying was 10 μm, and the film was dried at 80° C. to 120° C. for 6 minutes to form a photosensitive resin composition layer on the PET film. Next, a cover film (biaxially oriented polypropylene film, Oji F-Tex Co., Ltd., "MA-411") was placed on the surface of the photosensitive resin composition layer and laminated at 80° C. to produce a photosensitive film having a three-layer structure of support / photosensitive resin composition layer / cover film.

[0207] <Via crack evaluation> A copper plating was laminated on a silicon wafer with a thickness of 5 μm, and the substrate was roughened with a 1% hydrochloric acid aqueous solution for 60 seconds. The photosensitive resin composition layer of the photosensitive film was placed on the substrate so that it was in contact with the surface of the copper layer, and laminated using a vacuum laminator (VP160, manufactured by Nikko Materials Co., Ltd.) to form a laminate in which the copper plating, the photosensitive resin composition layer, and the support were laminated in this order. The pressure bonding conditions were a vacuum drawing time of 30 seconds, a pressure bonding temperature of 60°C, a pressure bonding pressure of 0.7 MPa, and a pressure application time of 30 seconds. After leaving the laminate at room temperature for 30 minutes, the support was peeled off. The laminate from which the support had been peeled off was exposed to ultraviolet light (wavelength 365 nm, intensity 40 mW / cm2). 2 The exposure was 50 mJ / cm 2The range was set. A quartz glass mask was used for the exposure pattern, which drew round holes (vias) with an opening diameter of 20 μm. After leaving the laminate at room temperature for 5 minutes, heat treatment was performed at 100° C. for 3 minutes. The entire surface of the photosensitive resin composition layer on the laminate was spray-developed with cyclopentanone at 23° C. as a developer at a spray pressure of 0.1 MPa for an optimal time between 30 and 100 seconds, and then spray-rinsed with propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate at a spray pressure of 0.1 MPa for 30 seconds. The photosensitive resin composition layer was further cured by heat treatment at 200° C. for 180 minutes. Ten vias were observed with an SEM (magnification 1000 times) to confirm the presence or absence of cracks in the vias. Evaluation was performed according to the following evaluation criteria. O: 0 to 1 via with cracks. △: 2 to 3 vias with cracks. ×: 4 or more vias with cracks.

[0208] The exposure dose was 100 mJ / cm 2 , 200mJ / cm 2 , and 300 mJ / cm 2 The same evaluation was performed for the case where the range was set to .

[0209] <Measurement of dielectric properties (dielectric constant, dielectric tangent)> The dielectric properties were measured by coating the photosensitive resin composition on a peel-treated PET film with a blade to a film thickness of 140 μm. The solution on the PET film was heated at 80° C. for 15 minutes using a heater to form a photosensitive film having a photosensitive resin composition layer. The photosensitive resin composition layer was peeled off from the PET film, and the photosensitive resin composition layer was attached to a metal frame using heat-resistant tape, and cured at 200° C. for 2 hours to prepare a film for measuring physical properties.

[0210] A test piece measuring 2 mm in width and 80 mm in length was cut out from the film for measuring physical properties. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent of the cut out test piece were measured at a measurement frequency of 5.8 GHz and a measurement temperature of 23°C by a cavity resonance perturbation method using a measuring device "HP8362B" manufactured by Agilent Technologies.
