[0029] [Method of producing polyimide precursor or polyamideimide precursor] First, the method for producing the polyimide precursor or polyamideimide precursor of the present invention will be described. The method for producing a polyimide precursor or a polyamideimide precursor of the present invention comprises the steps of: a step of reacting a dicarboxylic acid compound represented by the following general formula (1) or (2) with a chlorinating agent not containing a sulfur element to obtain a dicarboxylic acid chloride represented by the following general formula (1)' or (2'): a step of reacting the dicarboxylic acid chloride with a diamine; treating with an ion exchange resin; a polyimide precursor or a polyamideimide precursor,

[0032] [ka]
[0033] (In general formulas (1)' and (2)', X1, Y1, Z1, Z2, Z3, R1, R2, and R3 are the same as X1, Y1, Z1, Z2, Z3, R1, R2, and R3 in general formulas (1) and (2).)
[0034] When a resin obtained by the method for producing a polyimide precursor or polyamideimide precursor of the present invention is applied to a curable resin composition, it is possible to form a film having excellent elongation at break and excellent PCT characteristics. The mechanism by which the present invention achieves this effect is not clear, but the present inventors speculate as follows. However, the present invention is not limited in any way by the speculated mechanism below. The above-mentioned effects may be affected by residual impurities in the resin (polyimide precursor or polyamide-imide precursor) used in the curable resin composition. The present inventors focused on reducing the content of sulfur atoms and chlorine atoms (chloride ions) in the resin. In the method for producing a polyimide precursor or a polyamideimide precursor of the present invention, a dicarboxylic acid compound represented by the above general formula (1) or (2) is reacted with a chlorinating agent that does not contain sulfur to obtain a dicarboxylic acid chloride represented by the above general formula (1)' or (2)'. Thionyl chloride is generally used to activate the dicarboxylic acid compound. The use of thionyl chloride in this way tends to produce by-products, such as acidic impurities containing sulfur atoms and highly polar by-products. In the present invention, by using a chlorinating agent that does not contain sulfur element instead of thionyl chloride, it is possible to suppress the production of the above-mentioned impurities and by-products that contain sulfur element. The method for producing a polyimide precursor or a polyamideimide precursor of the present invention includes a step of treating the dicarboxylic acid chloride with an ion exchange resin in addition to the step of reacting the diamine with the dicarboxylic acid chloride, which makes it possible to reduce chloride ions remaining in the reaction system. As described above, the production of impurities containing sulfur element and by-products can be suppressed, and furthermore, the chloride ions remaining in the reaction system can be reduced, so that the generation of foreign matter can be suppressed, and it is considered that when the resin obtained by the above manufacturing method is applied to a curable resin composition, a film with excellent PCT properties can be formed. Furthermore, as described above, by suppressing the production of impurities and by-products containing sulfur element, unnecessary crosslinking reactions in the cured film can be suppressed. Therefore, when the resin obtained by the above-described manufacturing method is applied to a curable resin composition, it is thought that a film having excellent elongation at break can be formed. In the polyimide precursor or polyamideimide precursor obtained in this manner, the sulfur element and chloride ions can be reduced, and it is believed that when the resin obtained by the above-mentioned production method is applied to a curable resin composition, a film having excellent breaking elongation and excellent PCT properties can be formed.

The hydroxy group, alkyleneoxy group, amide group, and cyano group may be present at any position in the crosslinking agent U. However, from the viewpoint of chemical resistance, it is also preferable that the crosslinking agent U is such that at least one selected from the group consisting of the hydroxy group, alkyleneoxy group, amide group, and cyano group is linked to at least one radically polymerizable group contained in the crosslinking agent U via a linking group containing a urea bond or a urethane bond (hereinafter, also referred to as "linking group L2-1").

Examples of the hydrocarbon group include saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, aromatic hydrocarbon groups, and groups represented by a combination thereof.

Among these, from the viewpoints of adhesion to the substrate, chemical resistance, and suppression of Cu voids, it is preferable that the crosslinking agent U has a hydroxy group.
[0161] From the viewpoint of compatibility with the specific resin, the crosslinking agent U preferably contains an aromatic group. The aromatic group is preferably directly bonded to a urea bond or a urethane bond contained in the crosslinking agent U. When the crosslinking agent U contains two or more urea bonds or urethane bonds, it is preferable that one of the urea bonds or urethane bonds is directly bonded to the aromatic group. The aromatic group may be an aromatic hydrocarbon group or an aromatic heterocyclic group, or may have a structure in which these form a condensed ring, but is preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon group. The aromatic hydrocarbon group is preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, more preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, and even more preferably a group in which two or more hydrogen atoms have been removed from a benzene ring structure.

When the crosslinking agent U contains a total of two or more urea bonds or urethane bonds, when it contains two or more radically polymerizable groups, or when it contains two or more urea bonds or urethane bonds and two or more radically polymerizable groups, the minimum number of atoms (linking chain length) between the urea bond or urethane bond and the radically polymerizable group may be within the above range. In this specification, the "number of atoms (linking chain length) between a urea bond or urethane bond and a polymerizable group" refers to the atomic chain on the path connecting two atoms or groups of atoms to be linked that connects these objects with the shortest length (minimum number of atoms). For example, in the structure represented by the following formula, the number of atoms (linking chain length) between the urea bond and the radical polymerizable group (methacryloyloxy group) is 2.
[0163] [ka]
[0164] [Axis of symmetry] It is also preferred that the crosslinking agent U is a compound having a structure without an axis of symmetry. "Crosslinker U does not have an axis of symmetry" means that it is an asymmetric compound, lacking an axis along which the same molecule as the original molecule would be generated by rotating the entire compound. Furthermore, "Crosslinker U does not have an axis of symmetry" means that when the structural formula of crosslinker U is written on paper, the structural formula of crosslinker U cannot be written in a form that has an axis of symmetry. It is believed that the absence of an axis of symmetry in the crosslinking agent U prevents aggregation of the crosslinking agent U molecules in the composition film.

These substrates may have a layer such as an adhesion layer made of hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) or an oxide layer provided on the surface. The shape of the substrate is not particularly limited, and may be circular or rectangular. The size of the substrate is preferably, for example, 100 to 450 mm in diameter, more preferably 200 to 450 mm, if it is circular, and preferably, 100 to 1000 mm in short side length, more preferably 200 to 700 mm, if it is rectangular. As the substrate, for example, a plate-shaped, preferably a panel-shaped substrate (substrate) is used.
[0311] When a film is formed by applying a resin composition to the surface of a resin layer (for example, a layer made of a cured product) or the surface of a metal layer, the resin layer or the metal layer serves as the substrate.
[0312] The resin composition is preferably applied to a substrate by coating. Specific examples of the coating method include dip coating, air knife coating, curtain coating, wire bar coating, gravure coating, extrusion coating, spray coating, spin coating, slit coating, and inkjet coating. From the viewpoint of uniformity of the film thickness, spin coating, slit coating, spray coating, and inkjet coating are preferred, and from the viewpoint of uniformity of the film thickness and productivity, spin coating and slit coating are more preferred. A film of the desired thickness can be obtained by adjusting the solid content concentration of the resin composition and coating conditions depending on the coating method. Furthermore, the coating method can be appropriately selected depending on the shape of the substrate. For circular substrates such as wafers, spin coating, spray coating, and inkjet coating are preferred, while for rectangular substrates, slit coating, spray coating, and inkjet coating are preferred. Spin coating can be applied, for example, at a rotation speed of 500 to 3,500 rpm for approximately 10 seconds to 3 minutes. Alternatively, a coating film may be formed by applying the coating to a temporary support in advance using the above-mentioned application method, and then transferred onto the substrate. As for the transfer method, the production methods described in paragraphs 0023 and 0036 to 0051 of JP-A No. 2006-023696 and paragraphs 0096 to 0108 of JP-A No. 2006-047592 can be suitably used. Additionally, a process for removing excess film from the edge of the substrate may be performed, such as edge bead rinsing (EBR) or back rinsing. Before applying the resin composition to the substrate, a pre-wetting step may be employed in which the substrate is coated with various solvents to improve the wettability of the substrate, and then the resin composition is applied.
[0313] <Drying process> After the film-forming step (layer-forming step), the film may be subjected to a step (drying step) of drying the formed film (layer) to remove the solvent. That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a drying step of drying the film formed in the film forming step. The drying step is preferably carried out after the film-forming step and before the exposure step. The drying temperature of the film in the drying step is preferably 50 to 150°C, more preferably 70 to 130°C, and even more preferably 90 to 110°C. Drying may also be performed under reduced pressure. The drying time is, for example, 30 seconds to 20 minutes, preferably 1 to 10 minutes, and more preferably 2 to 7 minutes.
[0314] <Exposure process> The film may be subjected to an exposure step to selectively expose the film to light. The method for producing a cured product may include an exposure step of selectively exposing the film formed in the film formation step to light. Selective exposure means that only a portion of the film is exposed, resulting in exposed and unexposed areas of the film. The exposure dose is not particularly limited as long as it can cure the resin composition of the present invention, but for example, it is 50 to 10,000 mJ / cm in terms of exposure energy at a wavelength of 365 nm. 2 is preferred, and 200 to 8,000 mJ / cm 2 is more preferred.
[0315] The exposure wavelength can be appropriately determined within the range of 190 to 1,000 nm, and is preferably 240 to 550 nm.

For the resin composition of the present invention, exposure with a high-pressure mercury lamp is particularly preferred, and exposure with i-line is more preferred from the viewpoint of exposure sensitivity. The exposure method is not particularly limited as long as it is a method that exposes at least a part of the film made of the resin composition of the present invention, and examples thereof include exposure using a photomask and exposure by laser direct imaging.
[0317] <Post-exposure baking process> The film may be subjected to a step of heating after exposure (post-exposure baking step). That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a post-exposure baking step in which the film exposed in the exposure step is heated. The post-exposure baking step can be carried out after the exposure step and before the development step. The heating temperature in the post-exposure baking step is preferably 50°C to 140°C, more preferably 60°C to 120°C.

The temperature rise rate may be changed during heating as needed. The heating means in the post-exposure baking step is not particularly limited, and known means such as a hot plate, an oven, and an infrared heater can be used. It is also preferable to carry out the heating in an atmosphere of low oxygen concentration by flowing an inert gas such as nitrogen, helium, or argon.
[0318] <Developing process> After exposure, the film may be subjected to a development step in which it is developed with a developer to form a pattern. That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a development step in which the film exposed in the exposure step is developed with a developer to form a pattern. Development removes either the exposed or unexposed portions of the film, forming a pattern. Here, development in which the non-exposed portions of the film are removed by the development process is called negative development, and development in which the exposed portions of the film are removed by the development process is called positive development.

[0345] <Heating process> The pattern obtained by the development step (if a rinsing step is performed, the pattern after rinsing) may be subjected to a heating step in which the pattern obtained by the development step is heated. That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a heating step of heating the pattern obtained in the development step. The method for producing a cured product of the present invention may also include a heating step of heating a pattern obtained by another method without performing a development step, or a film obtained in the film-forming step. In the heating step, the resin such as the polyimide precursor is cyclized to form a resin such as a polyimide. Furthermore, crosslinking of unreacted crosslinkable groups in the specific resin or in a crosslinking agent other than the specific resin also proceeds. The heating temperature (maximum heating temperature) in the heating step is preferably 50 to 450°C, more preferably 150 to 350°C, even more preferably 150 to 250°C, still more preferably 160 to 250°C, and particularly preferably 160 to 230°C.

[0347] In the heating step, heating is preferably carried out at a temperature increase rate of 1 to 12°C / min from the initial temperature to the maximum heating temperature. The temperature increase rate is more preferably 2 to 10°C / min, and even more preferably 3 to 10°C / min. By setting the temperature increase rate to 1°C / min or more, it is possible to prevent excessive volatilization of the acid or solvent while ensuring productivity, and by setting the temperature increase rate to 12°C / min or less, it is possible to alleviate residual stress in the cured product. Additionally, in the case of a rapid heating oven, the temperature is preferably increased from the initial temperature to the maximum heating temperature at a rate of 1 to 8°C / sec, more preferably 2 to 7°C / sec, and even more preferably 3 to 6°C / sec.
[0348] The temperature at the start of heating is preferably 20°C to 150°C, more preferably 20°C to 130°C, and even more preferably 25°C to 120°C. The temperature at the start of heating refers to the temperature at the start of the process of heating up to the maximum heating temperature. For example, when the resin composition of the present invention is applied to a substrate and then dried, the temperature is the temperature of the film (layer) after this drying, and is preferably raised from a temperature that is 30 to 200°C lower than the boiling point of the solvent contained in the resin composition.
[0349] The heating time (heating time at the maximum heating temperature) is preferably from 5 to 360 minutes, more preferably from 10 to 300 minutes, and even more preferably from 15 to 240 minutes.

The upper limit of the heating temperature is preferably 350°C or lower, more preferably 250°C or lower, and even more preferably 240°C or lower.
[0351] Heating may be performed in stages. For example, the temperature may be increased from 25°C to 120°C at a rate of 3°C / min, held at 120°C for 60 minutes, increased from 120°C to 180°C at a rate of 2°C / min, and held at 180°C for 120 minutes. It is also preferable to treat the film while irradiating it with ultraviolet light, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 9,159,547. Such a pretreatment step can improve the film's properties. The pretreatment step is preferably performed for a short period of time, such as 10 seconds to 2 hours, and more preferably 15 seconds to 30 minutes. The pretreatment may be performed in two or more steps. For example, a first pretreatment step may be performed at a temperature in the range of 100 to 150°C, followed by a second pretreatment step at a temperature in the range of 150 to 200°C. Furthermore, after heating, the material may be cooled, and in this case, the cooling rate is preferably 1 to 5° C. / min.
[0352] From the viewpoint of preventing decomposition of the specific resin, the heating step is preferably performed in an atmosphere with a low oxygen concentration by flowing an inert gas such as nitrogen, helium, or argon, or by performing the heating step under reduced pressure, etc. The oxygen concentration is preferably 50 ppm (volume ratio) or less, and more preferably 20 ppm (volume ratio) or less. The heating means in the heating step is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include a hot plate, an infrared oven, an electric heating oven, a hot air oven, and an infrared oven.
[0353] <Post-development exposure process> The pattern obtained by the development step (if a rinsing step is performed, the pattern after rinsing) may be subjected to a post-development exposure step in which the pattern after the development step is exposed to light, instead of or in addition to the heating step. That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a post-development exposure step of exposing the pattern obtained by the development step. The method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include both a heating step and a post-development exposure step, or may include only one of the heating step and the post-development exposure step. In the post-development exposure step, for example, a reaction in which cyclization of a polyimide precursor or the like progresses due to exposure of a photobase generator to light, or a reaction in which elimination of an acid-decomposable group progresses due to exposure of a photoacid generator to light, can be promoted. In the post-development exposure step, it is sufficient that at least a part of the pattern obtained in the development step is exposed, but it is preferable that the entire pattern is exposed. The exposure dose in the post-development exposure step is 50 to 20,000 mJ / cm, calculated as exposure energy at a wavelength to which the photosensitive compound is sensitive. 2 is preferred, and 100 to 15,000 mJ / cm 2 is more preferred. The post-development exposure step can be carried out using, for example, the light source used in the exposure step described above, and it is preferable to use broadband light.
[0354] <Metal layer formation process> The pattern obtained by the development step (which is preferably subjected to at least one of the heating step and the post-development exposure step) may be subjected to a metal layer forming step in which a metal layer is formed on the pattern. That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention preferably includes a metal layer forming step of forming a metal layer on the pattern obtained in the development step (preferably subjected to at least one of a heating step and a post-development exposure step).

Examples of suitable methods include photolithography, PVD (physical vapor deposition), CVD (chemical vapor deposition), lift-off, electroplating, electroless plating, etching, printing, and combinations thereof. More specifically, examples include patterning methods that combine sputtering, photolithography, and etching, and patterning methods that combine photolithography and electroplating. Preferred plating methods include electroplating using a copper sulfate or copper cyanide plating solution.

[0360] (Laminate and method for manufacturing laminate) The laminate of the present invention refers to a structure having a plurality of layers each made of the cured product of the present invention. The laminate is a laminate including two or more layers made of a cured product, and may be a laminate including three or more layers. Of the two or more layers made of the cured product contained in the laminate, at least one is a layer made of the cured product of the present invention, and from the viewpoint of suppressing shrinkage of the cured product or deformation of the cured product associated with the shrinkage, it is also preferable that all of the layers made of the cured product contained in the laminate are layers made of the cured product of the present invention.
[0361] That is, the method for producing a laminate of the present invention preferably includes the method for producing a cured product of the present invention, and more preferably includes repeating the method for producing a cured product of the present invention multiple times.
[0362] The laminate of the present invention preferably includes two or more layers made of a cured product, and a metal layer between any two of the layers made of the cured product. The metal layer is preferably formed by the metal layer-forming step. That is, the method for producing a laminate of the present invention preferably further includes a metal layer-forming step of forming a metal layer on the layer made of the cured product, between the steps for producing a cured product that are performed multiple times. Preferred aspects of the metal layer-forming step are as described above. As the laminate, for example, a laminate including at least a layer structure in which three layers, a layer made of a first cured product, a metal layer, and a layer made of a second cured product, are laminated in this order, can be mentioned as a preferred example. It is preferable that the layer made of the first cured product and the layer made of the second cured product are both layers made of the cured product of the present invention. The resin composition of the present invention used to form the layer made of the first cured product and the resin composition of the present invention used to form the layer made of the second cured product may have the same composition or different compositions. The metal layer in the laminate of the present invention is preferably used as metal wiring such as a rewiring layer.
[0363] <Lamination process> The method for producing the laminate of the present invention preferably includes a lamination step. The lamination process is a series of processes including (a) a film-forming process (layer-forming process), (b) an exposure process, (c) a development process, and (d) at least one of a heating process and a post-development exposure process, which are performed again on the surface of the pattern (resin layer) or metal layer in this order. However, at least one of the (a) film-forming process and the (d) heating process and the post-development exposure process may be repeated. Furthermore, at least one of the (d) heating process and the post-development exposure process may be followed by the (e) metal layer-forming process. Needless to say, the lamination process may further include the drying process and the like as appropriate.
[0364] When a further lamination step is performed after the lamination step, a surface activation treatment step may be further performed after the exposure step, the heating step, or the metal layer forming step. An example of the surface activation treatment is a plasma treatment. Details of the surface activation treatment will be described later.
[0365] The lamination step is preferably carried out 2 to 20 times, and more preferably 2 to 9 times. For example, a structure of 2 to 20 resin layers, such as resin layer / metal layer / resin layer / metal layer / resin layer / metal layer, is preferred, and a structure of 2 to 9 resin layers is more preferred. The above layers may be the same or different in composition, shape, film thickness, etc.
[0366] In the present invention, a particularly preferred embodiment is one in which, after providing a metal layer, a cured product (resin layer) of the resin composition of the present invention is further formed so as to cover the metal layer. Specific examples include an embodiment in which the following steps are repeated in this order: (a) a film-forming step, (b) an exposure step, (c) a development step, (d) at least one of a heating step and a post-development exposure step, and (e) a metal layer-forming step; or an embodiment in which the following steps are repeated in this order: (a) a film-forming step, (d) at least one of a heating step and a post-development exposure step, and (e) a metal layer-forming step. By alternately performing the lamination step of laminating a resin composition layer (resin layer) of the present invention and the metal layer-forming step, the resin composition layer (resin layer) of the present invention and a metal layer can be alternately laminated.
[0367] (Surface activation treatment process) The method for producing a laminate of the present invention preferably includes a surface activation treatment step of subjecting at least a portion of the metal layer and the resin composition layer to a surface activation treatment. The surface activation treatment step is usually carried out after the metal layer formation step, but the surface activation treatment step may be carried out on the resin composition layer after the above-mentioned development step (preferably after at least one of the heating step and the post-development exposure step) and then the metal layer formation step may be carried out. The surface activation treatment may be performed on at least a portion of the metal layer, or on at least a portion of the resin composition layer after exposure, or on at least a portion of both the metal layer and the resin composition layer after exposure. The surface activation treatment is preferably performed on at least a portion of the metal layer, and it is preferable to perform the surface activation treatment on part or all of the region of the metal layer on which the resin composition layer is formed. In this way, by performing the surface activation treatment on the surface of the metal layer, it is possible to improve the adhesion with the resin composition layer (film) formed on the surface. It is preferable to perform the surface activation treatment on a part or all of the resin composition layer (resin layer) after exposure. In this way, by performing the surface activation treatment on the surface of the resin composition layer, it is possible to improve the adhesion with a metal layer or a resin layer provided on the surface that has been surface-activated. In particular, when negative development is performed, etc., if the resin composition layer is cured, it is less susceptible to damage due to the surface treatment, and adhesion is likely to be improved. The surface activation treatment can be carried out, for example, by the method described in paragraph 0415 of WO 2021 / 112189, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0445] <Evaluation> The evaluation was carried out as follows, and the results are shown in Table 2 above.
[0446] [Method for producing a reliability evaluation board] The resin compositions and comparative compositions prepared in each example and comparative example were each applied by spin coating to the surface of a TEG (test elementary group) substrate SIPOS-TEG SI06 manufactured by Waltz Corporation, and dried at 100°C for 300 seconds. The film thickness was adjusted so that the resulting cured product would have a thickness of 10 μm. Then, a photomask for TEG substrate evaluation was placed on the substrate, and 400 mJ / cm 2After exposure, the substrate was developed using cyclopentanone and rinsed with PGMEA, and then heated to 230°C for 180 minutes at a heating rate of 5°C / min in a N2 atmosphere in a Koyo Thermo Systems clean oven CLH-2 to prepare a reliability evaluation substrate.
[0447] [PCT Exam] In each example and comparative example, a PCT test was performed using the reliability evaluation board described above, using a HAST device PC-422R8D manufactured by Hirayama Manufacturing Co., Ltd., under conditions of 121°C, 100% RH (relative humidity), and 250 hours. After the test, the board was observed with an optical microscope, and visually inspected for the presence of foreign matter or wiring corrosion.
[0448] [Measurement of breaking elongation] <Evaluation> The resin compositions and comparative compositions prepared in each of the Examples and Comparative Examples were each applied to a silicon wafer by spin coating to form a resin composition layer. The silicon wafer on which the resin composition layer was coated was dried on a hot plate at 100°C for 5 minutes to form a resin composition layer with a uniform thickness of 20 µm on the silicon wafer. A photomask for evaluating strip samples was placed on the resin composition layer on the silicon wafer, and a photomask of 400 mJ / cm was applied. 2 The resulting resin composition layer on the silicon wafer was developed using cyclopentanone and rinsed with PGMEA. It was then heated to 230°C for 180 minutes at a heating rate of 5°C / min in a N2 atmosphere in a Koyo Thermo Systems CLH-2 clean oven to obtain a cured film. The cured product was immersed in a 3 mass % hydrofluoric acid solution, and the cured product was peeled off from the silicon wafer. The peeled cured film was punched out using a punching machine to prepare test pieces with a width of 3 mm and a length of 30 mm. The resulting test pieces were measured for longitudinal elongation at break in accordance with JIS-K6251 using a tensile tester (Tensilon) at a crosshead speed of 300 mm / min under an environment of 25°C and 65% RH (relative humidity). Each evaluation was performed five times, and the arithmetic mean value of the elongation at break (elongation at break) was used as an index value. The index values were evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria, and the evaluation results are shown in the "elongation at break" column in the table. It can be said that the larger the index value, the better the film strength (elongation at break) of the obtained cured film. (Evaluation criteria) A: The above index value was 70% or higher. B: The above index value was 60% or more and less than 70%. C: The above index value was 50% or more and less than 60%. D: The above index value was less than 50%.
[0449] From the above results, it was found that the examples of the present invention can provide a resin composition capable of forming a film having excellent breaking elongation and excellent PCT properties. Furthermore, it has been found that the examples of the present invention can provide a method for producing a polyamide precursor or a polyamideimide precursor that can be suitably applied to the above-mentioned resin composition.
