Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communication materials, in particular to benzocyclobutene resins, resin compositions and uses thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] With the progress of society and the development of science and technology, people's demands for communication network speeds are increasing. The currently developing 6G technology uses terahertz (THz) or submillimeter wave bands, and its transmission capacity is 100 times higher than that of 5G. The higher the communication frequency, the higher the requirements for printed circuit boards (PCBs), mainly including lower dielectric loss tangent Df, lower dielectric constant Dk, higher reliability, higher heat resistance, and lower coefficient of thermal expansion CTE.

[0003] PCBs are typically made by processing copper-clad boards through various processes, and their performance and quality depend largely on the properties and manufacturing level of the copper-clad board. Because copper-clad boards contain copper foil, reinforcing materials, and resin materials, research and development is needed to develop resins with excellent dielectric properties, i.e., low dielectric constants and dielectric dissipation factors. Meanwhile, in recent years, there has been a noticeable trend toward smaller, higher-density mounting methods for electronic devices for communication, consumer electronics, and industrial applications. This has led to the need for printed wiring boards to be pressure-bonded multiple times to form high-density, multi-layer printed wiring boards. The copper-clad boards used as raw materials for multi-layer printed wiring boards must have higher heat resistance, better dimensional stability, and a lower thermal expansion coefficient.

[0004] For many years, the industry has been researching thermosetting polyphenylene ether resins, bismaleimide resins, hydrocarbon resins, and other materials with good dielectric properties. Currently, mass-produced PCBs primarily use thermosetting resins based on a vinyl-terminated polyphenylene ether-based composite with triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC). While these resins offer excellent mechanical and heat resistance, the polar groups in TAIC mean that their Dk and Df do not meet the requirements of next-generation communication technologies. To further improve dielectric properties, researchers have focused on developing new low-dielectric materials. Research has shown that reducing the polarizability of molecules within a material and increasing porosity are effective ways to achieve low dielectric constant. For example, polypropylene and polystyrene have low Dk and Df. However, their heat resistance falls far short of the requirements for PCBs.

[0005] The fabrication process for integrated circuits requires temperatures above 400°C, and subsequent processing steps require even higher temperatures. Copper interconnects can be produced by electroplating or chemical reduction and can be completed at temperatures below 250°C. However, to ensure the copper deposition is dense and porosity-free, annealing must be performed at 400–450°C, requiring materials with excellent heat resistance and a high glass transition temperature. While polyimides and polybenzoxazines can meet the required heat resistance, there is an urgent need to design and develop new high-temperature resin materials with an all-hydrocarbon structure to achieve lower Dk and Df. Dow Chemical Company has previously released a phenylethynyl-containing all-hydrocarbon SiLK resin, which has an extremely low dielectric constant (Dk of 2.65) and a high glass transition temperature of 490°C. However, the synthesis cost of such materials is high and their mechanical performance falls short of the required level. Benzocyclobutene is another all-hydrocarbon thermosetting resin. Its excellent heat resistance, mechanical properties, extremely low dielectric loss, extremely low dielectric constant, and low cost make it a promising next-generation high-performance electronic material for advanced microelectronics applications. Benzocyclobutene has a low boiling point of approximately 150°C and is a highly volatile liquid. It is typically prepared and used as a derivative. Benzocyclobutene can react with vinyl groups at high temperatures to form cyclohexane structures, or dimerize to cyclooctane structures at higher temperatures, achieving high heat resistance. Benzocyclobutene derivatives are also low molecular weight and typically contain two or more benzocyclobutene functional groups, allowing further polymerization at high temperatures. For example, siloxane-containing dibenzocyclobutenes can be obtained by the Heck coupling reaction of 4-bromobenzocyclobutene with tetramethyldivinyldisiloxane, or etherification of 4-bromobenzocyclobutene with resorcinol under cuprous chloride catalysis to produce bisbenzocyclobutene derivatives containing phenyl ether and naphthoic acid structures. The above-mentioned materials have extremely high heat resistance and mechanical properties, but since they contain siloxane or phenol groups rather than an all-hydrocarbon structure, it is difficult to obtain low dielectric constants.Prior art has also disclosed the Suzuki coupling reaction of 4-bromobenzocyclobutene and benzenediboronic acid to produce all-hydrocarbon derivatives, but the high cost of benzenediboronic acid and the residual polar boronic acid or boronic acid end groups reduce the dielectric properties, sacrificing the original dielectric advantages of the benzocyclobutene structure. Researchers have also attempted to produce all-hydrocarbon derivatives by Heck coupling reaction using divinylbenzene and benzocyclobutene, but divinylbenzene undergoes radical polymerization at room temperature, which is prone to producing by-products and makes mass production difficult.

[0006] Therefore, the development of a resin material that combines excellent dielectric properties, heat resistance, mechanical performance, and processability, and that can be easily mass-produced, is an issue that must be resolved as soon as possible in this field. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] In response to the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a benzocyclobutene resin, a resin composition and its use, which has an all-hydrocarbon structure, a sufficiently low dielectric constant and dielectric dissipation factor, and excellent heat resistance, moist heat resistance, mechanical properties, stability and processability. The manufacturing method is simple and mass production is easy, fully meeting the performance requirements for resin materials for high-performance PCBs. [Means for solving the problem]

The benzocyclobutene resin has an all-hydrocarbon structure and exhibits a low dielectric constant Dk and a low dielectric dissipation factor Df. Furthermore, the molecular structure contains highly reactive alkenyl groups, resulting in high crosslinking efficiency during thermosetting reactions.

[0101] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below by means of specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above examples are only for understanding the present invention and should not be considered as specifically limiting the present invention.

[0102] In the following specific embodiments of the present invention, the specific information of the resin used to prepare the benzocyclobutene resin is as follows:

[0103] B1000: Polybutadiene, a structural unit formed by 1,2-polymerization of butadiene [ka] is 85% by mole, and the structural units formed by 1,4-polymerization [ka] is 15% by mole. Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. B2000: Polybutadiene containing 88% by mole of structural units formed by 1,2-polymerization and 12% by mole of structural units formed by 1,4-polymerization. Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. B3000: Polybutadiene in which 92% by mole of structural units formed by 1,2-polymerization and 8% by mole of structural units formed by 1,4-polymerization. Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. BI3060: A partially hydrogenated polybutadiene resin, in which 60% by mole of structural units formed by 1,2-polymerization are structural units [ka] The proportion of structural units formed by 1,4-polymerization is 32% by mole, and the proportion of structural units formed by 1,4-polymerization is 8% by mole. Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. Ricon 154: Polybutadiene containing 90% by mole of 1,2-polymerized structural units and 10% by mole of 1,4-polymerized structural units. Manufactured by Sartomer Corporation, USA. Ricon 184: a butadiene-styrene copolymer, in which the structural units formed by 1,2-polymerization account for 30% by mole, the structural units formed by 1,4-polymerization account for 48% by mole, and the styrene structural units [ka] The molar percentage is 22%. Sartomer Corporation, USA. Ricon 100: A butadiene-styrene copolymer containing 70% by mole of 1,2-polymerized structural units, 8% by mole of 1,4-polymerized structural units, and 22% by mole of styrene structural units. Manufactured by Sartomer Corporation, USA.

[0104] [Example 1] The benzocyclobutene resin CH-BCB2 is produced by the following method.

[0105] As shown in Table 1, 169.44 g of 4-bromobenzocyclobutene, 100 g of polybutadiene B2000, 16.35 g of tris(o-methylphenyl)phosphine, 7.48 g of palladium acetate, 500 g of triethylamine, and 1000 g of acetonitrile were added to a flask and stirred at 85 °C for 24 h under an argon atmosphere. The mixture was cooled and the solvent was spin-dried. The mixture was rapidly passed through a neutral alumina column and the solvent was spin-dried to obtain a viscous liquid. After dissolving in toluene, four times the amount of toluene was added to methanol, and the mixture was thoroughly shaken and allowed to stand. The toluene layer was then separated. The mixture was then spin-dried and vacuum-dried to obtain the colorless, viscous liquid benzocyclobutene resin CH-BCB2.

[0106] The structure of the benzocyclobutene resin CH-BCB2 was identified using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR, IS10 FT-IR, Thermo Fisher Scientific), and the resulting infrared spectrum is shown in Figure 1. As can be seen from Figure 1, -1 This is the characteristic absorption of benzocyclobutene four-membered ring, which means that CH-BCB2 resin has benzocyclobutene structure. TLC column shows that the raw material has disappeared, which means that benzocyclobutene has been incorporated into polybutadiene.

[0107] Based on the description in GB / T 21863-2008, the molecular weight of the benzocyclobutene resin CH-BCB2 was measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using polystyrene calibration, and the resulting GPC spectrum is shown in Figure 2. The viscosity-average molecular weight of the benzocyclobutene resin CH-BCB2, 3421, shown in Figure 2, is its number-average molecular weight Mn of 2416.

[0108] [Examples 2 to 7] The benzocyclobutene resin was different from Example 1 in the types and amounts of raw materials used, as shown in Table 1. The process parameters not shown in Table 1 were all the same as those in Example 1. In Table 1, the molar percentages of structural unit A (%), structural unit B (%), and structural unit C (%) are the molar percentages in each benzocyclobutene resin. The percentages of structural unit A (%) and structural unit B (%) are calculated based on the amount of 4-bromo-BCB added and the molar percentage of 1,2-polymerized structural units in the resin raw material. (The 4-bromo-BCB reaction was confirmed by thin-layer chromatography during the manufacturing process, so that 4-bromo-BCB was completely converted to structural unit A. The difference in the molar percentages of the 1,2-polymerized structural units and structural unit A in the resin raw material is the amount of structural unit B (the corresponding resin raw material is polybutadiene). When the resin raw material is a butadiene-styrene copolymer, the content of structural unit B is calculated by adding the molar percentage of the styrene structural unit to the difference in the molar percentages of the 1,2-polymerized structural units and structural unit A in the resin raw material.) The structural unit C originated from the resin raw material (polybutadiene or butadiene-styrene copolymer) and was obtained from a raw material manufacturer.

[0109] [Table 1]

[0110] [Comparative Manufacturing Example 1] Benzocyclobutene resin CH-BCB-D1 was synthesized using the method in Example 1 of prior art CN107501459A, which was obtained by copolymerizing 4-vinylbiphenyl and 4-vinylbenzocyclobutene.

[0111] In the following specific embodiments of the present invention, the materials involved are as follows: (1) Benzocyclobutene resin Benzocyclobutene resins CH-BCB1 to CH-BCB7 according to Examples 1 to 7; CH-BCB-D1 according to Comparative Production Example 1. (2) Unsaturated group-containing thermosetting component Styrene-butadiene copolymer, Ricon 100, Sartomer, USA. (3) Initiator t-Butyl isopropyl phenyl peroxide, BIPB, HUNAN FARIDA TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD. (4) Filler Silica, HM102YJ, Jiangsu Teruyue. (5) Flame retardants SYTELX 8010, Albemarle, USA.

[0112] [Application example 1] The resin composition included, in parts by weight, 100 parts of a component such as benzocyclobutene resin CH-BCB1.

[0113] The prepreg and copper-clad board containing the resin composition are produced by the following method.

[0114] (1) The resin composition and toluene were mixed in the formulation to prepare an adhesive solution with a solid content of 65%. 1035 L of glass cloth was immersed in the adhesive solution, adjusted to an appropriate thickness, and then baked in an oven at 130°C for 4 minutes to obtain a prepreg.

[0115] (2) Ten sheets of prepreg are stacked, and 18μ HVLP copper foil is placed on both the top and bottom of the stack. The temperature is 210℃ and the pressure is 30kg / cm. 2 The coating was cured for 120 minutes under the above conditions to obtain the copper clad board.

[0116] The copper clad board was subjected to a performance test, and the specific method was as follows.

[0117] (1) Glass transition temperature Tg: Measured with a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) Rheometric RSAIII.

[0118] (2) Dielectric constant Dk and dielectric loss tangent Df: The dielectric constant Dk and dielectric loss tangent Df were measured by the split post dielectric resonator (SPDR) method using a dielectric analyzer HP Agilent E4991A at a frequency of 10 GHz.

[0119] (3) Peel strength PS: Measured according to the IPC-TM-6502.4.8C standard to measure the peel strength between the copper foil and the circuit board after thermal stress.

[0120] (4) Moisture and heat resistance: After PCT / 6 hours and etching to remove the copper foil, the plate was cut into three 100mm x 100mm samples. The plate samples were steamed in an autoclave at 105°C and 103.4 kPa for 360 minutes, then immersed in a tin oven at 288°C to measure the delamination time. If the time was less than 300 seconds, the specific time was recorded. After reaching 5 minutes, the measurement was stopped and the time was recorded as >300 seconds. A circle indicates that the sample did not delaminate within 300 seconds and passed the moist heat resistance test. An error indicates that the sample exhibited delamination within 300 seconds and failed the moist heat resistance test.

[0121] (5) Heat resistance T300: Measured according to the IPC-TM-6502.4.24.1 standard to measure the heat resistance of the material.

[0122] (6) PCT water absorption rate (%) / 6h: The copper foil was removed by etching from the plate, and the plate was cut into three samples of 100mm x 100mm. The plate samples were steamed for 360 minutes at 105°C and 103.4kPa pressure in an autoclave, and the masses before and after PCT were measured. The PCT water absorption rate was calculated as follows: mass change after PCT / mass before PCT x 100%.

[0123] The measurement results are shown in Table 2.

[0124] [Application Examples 2 to 8, Comparative Examples 1 to 2] The resin composition and the prepreg and copper-clad board containing the same differ from Application Example 1 in that the formulation of the resin composition was different, as shown in Tables 2 and 3. Here, the units for the amount of each component used are all "parts," "--" indicates that the component was not added, and the manufacturing methods for the prepreg and copper-clad board and the performance test methods were the same as those of Application Example 1.

[0125] [Table 2] [Table 3]

[0126] In combination with the performance test data described above, the benzocyclobutene resin of the present invention can be used to produce a resin composition and a copper-clad board, and the copper-clad board has a Dk of 2.90 to 3.40, a Df of 0.0005 to 0.0010, a glass transition temperature Tg of 200 to 285°C at 10 GHz, can pass the PCT 6-h test, a PCT water absorption of 0.05 to 0.08%, a heat resistance at 300°C of more than 60 min, and a peel strength of 0.33 to 0.63 N / mm, combining excellent dielectric properties, heat resistance, and moist heat resistance.

[0127] The resin composition of Comparative Example 1 does not contain the benzocyclobutene resin defined by the present invention, and its structure contains a high content of benzene ring structures, resulting in poor dielectric properties. In the resin composition of Comparative Example 2, butadiene-styrene copolymer (styrene-butadiene resin) and 4-bromobenzocyclobutene were physically mixed in the proportions used in Example 7, and then the same other components as in Application Example 7 were added. However, the benzocyclobutene was not grafted onto the styrene-butadiene resin, and most of the 4-bromobenzocyclobutene volatilized during the pre-curing process, with the remainder being the properties of the styrene-butadiene resin. Therefore, the dielectric properties and heat resistance of Comparative Example 2 were significantly inferior to those of the benzocyclobutene resin and resin composition defined by the present invention.

[0128] The present invention has been described in the above examples with respect to the benzocyclobutene resin, resin composition and use thereof, but the applicant declares that the present invention is not limited to the above process, i.e., it does not mean that the present invention must be carried out depending on the above process. Those skilled in the art should understand that any improvements to the present invention, equivalent substitution of raw materials used in the present invention, addition of auxiliary components, selection of specific forms, etc., are all within the protection scope and disclosure of the present invention.
