Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a curable resin composition. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, the speed and capacity of signals used in electronic devices such as mobile phones, their base station equipment, servers, routers, and other network infrastructure equipment, and large-scale computers have been increasing year by year. Accordingly, printed wiring boards mounted on these electronic devices use high frequencies in the 20 GHz range, and insulating materials for printed wiring boards are therefore required to have properties such as a low dielectric constant and a low dielectric loss tangent. Materials that may satisfy these properties include epoxy resins, modified polyphenylene ether resins, aromatic maleimide resins, and aliphatic maleimide resins (Patent Documents 1 to 4).

[0003] Furthermore, conventional methods for bonding insulating materials involve roughening the conductor circuit and increasing adhesive strength through the anchor effect. However, at high frequencies, the skin effect causes more electricity to flow on the surface of the conductor, resulting in longer paths for electrical signals in roughened conductor circuits, resulting in delays. Therefore, for high-frequency applications, the surface of the conductor circuit must be as smooth as possible, and the anchor effect cannot be expected to improve adhesive strength.

[0004] On the other hand, triazine thiol is known as a bonding material that increases the adhesive strength between metal and insulating material, but has not been studied as a bonding material that increases the adhesive strength between metal and maleimide resin (Patent Documents 5 to 8).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The curable resin composition of the present invention will be described in detail below. [(A) Cyclic imide resin] The component (A) of the present invention is characterized by containing (A-1) a cyclic imide resin represented by the following formula (1), which will be explained below.

[0011] [(A-1) Cyclic imide resin represented by the following formula (1)] The cyclic imide resin of component (A-1) is the main component of the curable resin composition of the present invention and is represented by the following formula (1): By including component (A) in the curable resin composition of the present invention, the cured product of the curable resin composition will have a low relative dielectric constant, a low dielectric loss tangent, low warpage, and high chemical resistance. [ka] (In formula (1), A independently represents a tetravalent organic group containing a cyclic structure. Q independently represents an alicyclic hydrocarbon group represented by the following formula (2), and B independently represents a divalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 6 or more carbon atoms which may contain a heteroatom. X represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, n represents 1 to 200, m represents 0 to 200, and when m is 1 or more, the ratio n:m=1:1 to 4:1. The order of the repeating units bracketed by n and m is not limited.) [ka] (In formula (2), R 1 are independently a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and x is independently a number from 0 to 4.

[0012] Here, the organic groups represented by A in formula (1) are independently tetravalent organic groups containing a cyclic structure, and are particularly preferably any of the tetravalent organic groups represented by the following formulae: [ka] (The bond not bonded to a substituent in the above formula is bonded to the carbonyl carbon that forms the cyclic imide structure in formula (1).)

[0013] In formula (1), Q is independently an alicyclic hydrocarbon group represented by the following formula (2). [ka]

[0014] In formula (2), R 1 are independently a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, preferably a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and more preferably a hydrogen atom or a methyl group.

[0015] In formula (2), x is independently 0 to 4, and preferably 0 to 2. The x's may be the same or different.

[0016] Specific examples of formula (2) include the following structures: [ka]

[0017] The bond to which no substituent is bonded in the above formula is bonded to the nitrogen atom that forms the cyclic imide structure in formula (2).

[0018] In formula (1), each B is independently a divalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 6 or more carbon atoms which may contain a heteroatom, and is preferably a divalent hydrocarbon group represented by any of the following structural formulas or a divalent hydrocarbon group derived from a dimer acid skeleton. [ka]

[0019] The bond to which no substituent is bonded in the above formula is bonded to the nitrogen atom that forms the cyclic imide structure in formula (1).

[0020] In the above formula, R 3 R independently represents a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms. 3 is preferably a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and more preferably a hydrogen atom or a linear alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. In the above formula, p 1 and p 2 are each a number of 5 or more, preferably a number of 5 to 12, more preferably a number of 6 to 10, and may be the same or different. In the above formula, p 3 and p 4are each a number of 0 or more, preferably a number of 0 to 4, more preferably a number of 0 to 3, and may be the same or different. In the above formula, p 5 and p 6 are each a number of 0 or more, preferably a number of 0 to 4, more preferably a number of 0 to 2, and may be the same or different. If B is Q, it becomes a unit bracketed by n.

[0021] The divalent hydrocarbon group derived from a dimer acid skeleton is a group derived from dimer acid, a liquid fatty acid primarily composed of a 36-carbon dicarboxylic acid, produced by dimerization of an 18-carbon unsaturated fatty acid derived from natural sources such as vegetable oils. Dimer acids do not have a single skeleton but have multiple structures, resulting in several isomers. The dimer acid skeleton refers to a group derived from a dimer diamine, which has a structure in which the carboxyl group of such a dimer acid is substituted with a primary aminomethyl group. From the standpoint of heat resistance and reliability of the cured product, it is more preferable for the divalent hydrocarbon group derived from the dimer acid skeleton to have a structure in which the carbon-carbon double bond in the hydrocarbon group derived from the dimer acid skeleton is reduced by a hydrogenation reaction. Generally, dimer acids may contain trimers (trimer acids) due to the use of natural products such as vegetable oils and fats as raw materials. However, it is preferable that the proportion of hydrocarbon groups derived from dimer acids among the hydrocarbon groups derived from dimer acids and trimer acids be, for example, 95 mass % or more, as this results in excellent dielectric properties, excellent moldability due to a tendency for the viscosity to decrease when heated, and reduced influence of moisture absorption. As described above, the dimer acid skeleton has a plurality of structures, and therefore, in this specification, the divalent hydrocarbon group derived from the dimer acid skeleton is referred to as the average structure, i.e., -C 36 H 70 It may be written as -.

[0022] In formula (1), X is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and is preferably a hydrogen atom. In formula (1), n ​​is 1 to 200, preferably 2 to 100, and more preferably 2 to 50. In formula (1), m is 0 to 200, preferably 1 to 50, and more preferably 1 to 20. When m is 1 or more, the ratio of n to m is 1:1 to 4:1, preferably 1:1 to 3:1, and more preferably 1:1 to 2:1. This range is preferable because the chemical resistance of the cured product of the curable resin composition of the present invention is enhanced. Furthermore, the order of the repeating units bracketed by n and m is not limited.

[0023] The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the cyclic imide resin of component (A-1) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 500 to 1,000,000, more preferably 1,000 to 100,000, and even more preferably 3,000 to 50,000. If the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) is within this range, the curable resin composition will have sufficient strength and the terminal cyclic imide groups can be reacted efficiently. The weight average molecular weight (Mw) referred to in this specification refers to the weight average molecular weight measured by GPC under the following conditions using polystyrene as the standard. [GPC measurement conditions] Developing solvent: tetrahydrofuran Flow rate: 0.6mL / min Column: TSK Guardcolumn SuperH-L TSKgel SuperH4000(6.0mmI.D.×15cm×1) TSKgel SuperH3000(6.0mmI.D.×15cm×1) TSKgel SuperH2000(6.0mmI.D.×15cm×2) (All manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) Column temperature: 40℃ Sample injection volume: 20 μL (sample concentration: 0.5% by mass in tetrahydrofuran solution) Detector: Differential refractometer (RI)

[0024] The method for producing the cyclic imide resin of component (A-1) is not particularly limited. For example, it may be produced by reacting an amine compound with an excess of maleic anhydride or citraconic anhydride, or it may be produced by reacting an acid anhydride with a diamine to synthesize an amine-terminated compound, and then reacting the amine-terminated compound with an excess of maleic anhydride or citraconic anhydride.

These acid anhydrides may be used alone or in combination depending on the purpose, application, etc. From the viewpoint of the electrical properties of the cyclic imide resin, pyromellitic anhydride, 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride, and 4,4'-(4,4'-isopropylidenediphenoxy)diphthalic anhydride are preferred.

[0027] The equivalent weight of the cyclic imide group in the component (A-1) is preferably 0.001 to 0.5 mol / 100 g, more preferably 0.003 to 0.4 mol / 100 g, even more preferably 0.01 to 0.3 mol / 100 g, and even more preferably 0.02 to 0.2 mol / 100 g. This range is preferable because the cured product of the curable resin composition has a low dielectric constant and a low dielectric loss tangent.

[0028] The component (A-1) may be used alone or in combination of two or more types. The amount of component (A-1) in the curable resin composition of the present invention is not particularly limited, but is preferably 50 to 90 parts by mass, and more preferably 60 to 80 parts by mass. This range is preferable because it provides a low relative dielectric constant and a low dielectric loss tangent, while also providing sufficiently high chemical resistance and adhesive strength to copper.

[0029] [(B) Triazine thiol represented by the following formula (3)] The triazine thiol of the component (B) is a compound represented by the following formula (3): By including the component (B), the curable resin composition of the present invention has excellent adhesion to copper and high chemical resistance.

[0031] The blending amount of component (B) is 1 to 10 parts by mass, preferably 2 to 8 parts by mass, and more preferably 3 to 6 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of component (A). If the blending amount of component (B) is less than 1 part by mass, chemical resistance will be reduced, and peeling from copper may occur when treated with a desmear solution. If the blending amount of component (B) is more than 10 parts by mass, the relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent will be high. One type of triazine thiol for component (B) may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination.

[0078] [Method for preparing curable resin composition] For Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4, 100 parts by mass of cyclopentanone was added to the formulation (parts by mass) shown in Table 1, based on a total of 100 parts by mass of each component, and the mixture was kneaded at 80°C for 30 minutes using a planetary mixer (manufactured by Inoue Seisakusho Co., Ltd.), and then cooled to 25°C. The resulting solution was transferred to a flask, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to prepare a curable resin composition.

[0079] [Tg, coefficient of linear expansion] The prepared curable resin composition was sandwiched between a 30 mm x 40 mm x 100 μm thick mold frame and press-cured at 180°C and 3 MPa for 1 hour to prepare a test sample. The prepared test sample was measured using a TMA Q400 (manufactured by TA Instruments) over a temperature range of -50°C to 300°C, and the Tg and linear expansion coefficient were calculated from the resulting graph. The measurement conditions were a 20 mm x 3 mm x 100 μm thick test sample (cured product), a heating rate of 5°C / min, and a tensile mode. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0080] [Dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent] The prepared curable resin composition was sandwiched between a 30 mm x 40 mm x 100 μm thick mold frame and press-cured at 180°C and 3 MPa for 1 hour to prepare a test sample. A network analyzer (Keysight E5063-2D5) and a stripline (Keycom Corporation) were connected to the prepared test sample to measure the relative permittivity and dielectric loss tangent at a frequency of 10 GHz. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0081] [Peel Strength] The prepared curable resin composition was coated onto a PET film to a thickness of 25 μm to produce a resin film. Using a vacuum laminator V-130 (manufactured by Nikko Materials Co., Ltd.), the resin film was laminated with a SUS plate on the opposite side of the PET film at 80°C, a vacuum of 0.6 hPa, and a pressure of 0.3 MPa for 60 seconds. After cooling to room temperature, the PET film was peeled off, and 18 μm thick copper foil (product name: TQ-M4-VSP, manufactured by Mitsui Metals Co., Ltd.) was placed on top. The laminate was then laminated again at 80°C, a vacuum of 0.6 hPa, and a pressure of 0.3 MPa for 60 seconds, and then heated to 180°C for 1 hour to cure. In accordance with JIS-C-6481:1996, a standard for testing copper-clad laminates for printed wiring boards, the force required to peel the copper foil from the resin film (peel strength) was measured using a Tensilon tester (manufactured by Toyo Seiki Seisakusho, product name: Strograph VE-1D) at a speed of 50 mm / min in a 90° direction over a 10 mm width. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0082] [Desmear resistance] The resin film prepared by the method described above under "Peel Strength" was placed on a substrate with a 100 / 100 L / S copper wiring pattern using a vacuum laminator V-130 (Nikko Materials Co., Ltd.) so that the side opposite the PET film was in contact with the substrate. The laminate was then laminated for 60 seconds at 80°C, a vacuum of 0.6 hPa, and a pressure of 0.3 MPa. After cooling to room temperature, the PET film was peeled off and the laminate was cured by heating at 180°C for 1 hour. A 100 μm diameter via hole was drilled in the cured substrate using a CO2 laser (Via Mechanics Co., Ltd., model LC-2Q252), which was then desmeared. The cross section was then cut and visually inspected for peeling from the copper. In addition, the prepared curable resin composition was sandwiched between a mold frame of 30 mm × 40 mm × 100 μm thickness and press-cured at 180°C and 3 MPa for 1 hour to prepare a test sample, and the weight loss rate of the test sample before and after the desmear treatment was calculated (weight loss (g) / surface area of ​​test sample (dm 2 )). The desmear treatment described above was carried out in the following order: swelling (70°C, 5 minutes), roughening (80°C, 10 minutes), neutralization (40°C, 5 minutes), and water rinsing (room temperature, 5 minutes). The test solutions used were swelling solution, desmear solution, and neutralization solution manufactured by Atotech, adjusted to the specified concentrations. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0083] [Table 1]

[0084] In Examples 1 to 10, the cured products of the curable resin compositions had low relative dielectric constants and low dielectric loss tangents, and were free from peeling and had excellent desmear resistance. In Comparative Example 1, the adhesive strength to copper was low because triazine thiol was not contained, and peeling occurred after desmearing. Component (A-1) has a high Tg, strong adhesion to copper, and high desmear resistance, but in Comparative Examples 2 and 4, component (A-2) was used instead of component (A-1), but its Tg was low, causing peeling after desmearing. In addition, the weight loss rate of the resin due to the desmear treatment was high. In Comparative Example 3, which did not contain the component (A-1), the adhesive strength to copper was low, and peeling occurred after desmearing.
