Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a photosensitive resin composition for permanent resist, a photosensitive element, a printed wiring board, and a method for producing a printed wiring board. [Background technology]

[0002] In the field of printed wiring boards, permanent resists are formed on printed wiring boards. The permanent resists have the role of preventing corrosion of the conductor layers and maintaining electrical insulation between the conductor layers when the printed wiring board is in use. In recent years, permanent resists have also come to function as solder resist films that prevent solder from adhering to unnecessary portions of the conductor layers of the printed wiring board in processes such as flip-chip mounting and wire bonding mounting of semiconductor elements on the printed wiring board via solder.

[0003] Conventionally, permanent resists have been produced by screen printing using a thermosetting resin composition or by a photographic method using a photosensitive resin composition. For example, in flexible wiring boards using mounting methods such as FC (Flip Chip), TAB (Tape Automated Bonding), and COF (Chip On Film), a thermosetting resin paste is screen printed and thermally cured to form a permanent resist, except for the IC chip, electronic components, or LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel and connection wiring pattern area (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0004] In semiconductor package substrates such as BGA (ball grid array) and CSP (chip size package) mounted on electronic components, it is necessary to remove the permanent resist from the bonding area in order to (1) flip-chip mount a semiconductor element onto the semiconductor package substrate via solder, (2) wire-bond the semiconductor element to the semiconductor package substrate, and (3) solder-bond the semiconductor package substrate to a motherboard. A photographic method is used to form an image on the permanent resist. This method involves applying a photosensitive resin composition, drying it, and then selectively irradiating it with actinic rays such as ultraviolet light to harden it, and then removing only the unirradiated areas by development to form an image. Because of its ease of operation and its suitability for mass production, the photographic method is widely used in the electronic materials industry for forming images on photosensitive materials (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

The average particle size of component (E) is the average particle size in a state where it is dispersed in the photosensitive resin composition, and is a value obtained by measurement according to the following procedure.

[0093] The photosensitive resin composition was diluted 1000 times with a solvent (methyl ethyl ketone), and the particle size distribution of the particles dispersed in the solvent was measured using a submicron particle analyzer (Beckman Coulter, Inc., product name "N5") at a refractive index of 1.38 in accordance with the international standard ISO 13321. The particle size at 50% cumulative (volume basis) in the particle size distribution was taken as the average particle size.

When the content of the component (F) is within the above range, the heat resistance of the formed cured film can be further improved while maintaining good developability.

[0099] <Component (G): Elastomer> The photosensitive resin composition according to this embodiment may further contain an elastomer as component (G). Adding component (G) to the photosensitive resin composition can suppress a decrease in flexibility and adhesive strength due to strain (internal stress) inside the resin caused by cure shrinkage of component (A).

[0100] Examples of component (G) include styrene-based elastomers, olefin-based elastomers, urethane-based elastomers, polyester-based elastomers, polyamide-based elastomers, acrylic elastomers, and silicone-based elastomers. Component (G) may contain a thermoplastic elastomer. Thermoplastic elastomers are composed of a hard segment component that contributes to heat resistance and strength, and a soft segment component that contributes to flexibility and toughness. Among these, olefin-based elastomers, polyester-based elastomers, and acrylic elastomers are preferred, and from the viewpoint of resolution, olefin-based elastomers are more preferred.

[0101] The content of component (G) may be 0.5 parts by mass or more, 1.0 parts by mass or more, 2.0 parts by mass or more, or 3.0 parts by mass or more, and may be 20 parts by mass or less, 15 parts by mass or less, or 10 parts by mass or less, per 100 parts by mass of component (A). By keeping the content of component (G) within the above range, unexposed areas of the photosensitive layer become more easily eluted in a developer, and the elastic modulus of the permanent resist at high temperatures tends to be lower.

[0106] When a diluent is used, the content of the diluent in the photosensitive resin composition may be 10 to 50 mass %, 20 to 40 mass %, or 25 to 35 mass %. By setting the content of the diluent within the above range, the coatability of the photosensitive resin composition is improved.

[0107] The photosensitive resin composition according to this embodiment may further contain various additives as needed. Examples of additives include polymerization inhibitors such as hydroquinone, methylhydroquinone, hydroquinone monomethyl ether, catechol, and pyrogallol; thickeners such as bentone and montmorillonite; silicone-based, fluorine-based, and vinyl resin-based antifoaming agents; silane coupling agents; flame retardants such as phosphorus-based phosphate compounds, aromatic condensed phosphate esters, and halogen-containing condensed phosphate esters; and pigments such as phthalocyanine blue, phthalocyanine green, iodine green, diazo yellow, titanium oxide, carbon black, and naphthalene black.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating the photosensitive element according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the photosensitive element 1 includes a support film 10 and a photosensitive layer 20 formed on the support film 10. The solid content of each component other than the volatile substance in the photosensitive layer 20 may be within the numerical range of the solid content of each component in the above-described photosensitive resin composition.

[0110] The photosensitive element 1 can be produced, for example, by applying the photosensitive resin composition according to this embodiment onto a support film 10 by a known method such as reverse roll coating, gravure roll coating, comma coating, or curtain coating, and then drying the coating to form a photosensitive layer 20.

[0111] Examples of the support film include polyester films such as polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate, and polyolefin films such as polypropylene and polyethylene. The thickness of the support film may be, for example, 5 to 100 μm. The thickness of the photosensitive layer may be, for example, 10 to 50 μm, 15 to 40 μm, or 20 to 30 μm.

[0115] The method for producing a printed wiring board according to this embodiment includes the steps of forming a photosensitive layer on a substrate using the above-described photosensitive resin composition or the above-described photosensitive element, exposing and developing the photosensitive layer to form a resist pattern, and curing the resist pattern to form a permanent resist. An example of each step will be described below.

[0116] First, a metal-clad laminate such as a copper-clad laminate is prepared as a substrate, and a photosensitive layer is formed on the substrate. When a photosensitive resin composition is used, the photosensitive resin composition may be applied to the substrate by a method such as screen printing, spraying, roll coating, curtain coating, or electrostatic coating, and the resulting coating film may be dried at 60 to 110°C to form the photosensitive layer. The thickness of the coating film may be 10 to 200 μm, 15 to 150 μm, 20 to 100 μm, or 23 to 50 μm. When a photosensitive element is used, the photosensitive layer may be formed by thermally laminating the photosensitive layer of the photosensitive element onto the substrate using a laminator.

[0117] Next, a negative mask is brought into contact with the photosensitive layer directly or through a transparent film such as a support film, and the layer is exposed to actinic rays. The unexposed areas are then dissolved and removed with a developer to form a resist pattern. Examples of actinic rays include electron beams, ultraviolet rays, and X-rays, with ultraviolet rays being preferred. Examples of light sources that can be used include low-pressure mercury lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, ultra-high-pressure mercury lamps, and halogen lamps. The exposure dose is 10 to 2000 mJ / cm. 2 , 100-1500mJ / cm 2 , or 300 to 1000 mJ / cm 2The developing method may be, for example, a dipping method or a spraying method. As the developer, for example, an aqueous alkali solution such as potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, or tetramethylammonium hydroxide may be used.

[0118] Next, the formed resist pattern is subjected to at least one of post-exposure and post-heating treatment to sufficiently harden it, thereby forming a permanent resist. The exposure dose of the post-exposure is 100 to 5000 mJ / cm 2 2 , 500~2000mJ / cm 2 , or 700 to 1500 mJ / cm 2 The heating temperature for post-heating may be 100 to 200°C, 120 to 180°C, or 135 to 165°C. The heating time for post-heating may be 5 minutes to 6 hours, 10 minutes to 3 hours, or 30 minutes to 2 hours. The thickness of the permanent resist may be 10 to 50 μm, 15 to 40 μm, or 20 to 30 μm.

[0119] The permanent resist according to this embodiment can be used as an interlayer insulating layer or a surface protective layer of a semiconductor element. A semiconductor element having an interlayer insulating layer or a surface protective layer formed from a cured film of the above-described photosensitive resin composition, and an electronic device including the semiconductor element can be produced. The semiconductor element may be, for example, a memory, a package, or the like having a multilayer wiring structure, a rewiring structure, or the like. Examples of electronic devices include mobile phones, smartphones, tablet terminals, personal computers, and hard disk suspensions. By providing a patterned cured film formed from the photosensitive resin composition according to this embodiment, semiconductor elements and electronic devices with excellent insulation reliability can be provided.

[0124] [Photosensitive element] A 25 μm-thick polyethylene terephthalate film (manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd., product name "G2-25") was prepared as a support film. A solution prepared by diluting the photosensitive resin composition with methyl ethyl ketone was applied to the support film so that the thickness after drying was 25 μm. The solution was then dried at 75°C for 15 minutes using a hot air convection dryer to form a photosensitive layer. Next, a polyethylene film (manufactured by Tamapoly Co., Ltd., product name "NF-15") was attached as a protective film to the surface of the photosensitive layer opposite the side in contact with the support film, thereby obtaining a photosensitive element.

[0125] [Insulation reliability (HAST resistance)] Using a printed wiring board substrate (MCL-E-679FG, product name, manufactured by Resonac Corporation) in which 12 μm thick copper foil was laminated to a glass epoxy base material, interdigital electrodes with a line / space (wiring width / wiring spacing) of 14 μm / 14 μm were fabricated using the MSAP (Modified Semi-Additive Process) method, and this was used as the evaluation substrate.

[0126] The protective film was peeled off from the photosensitive element, and the exposed photosensitive layer was placed in contact with the interdigital electrodes on the evaluation substrate. The substrate was then laminated using a press-type vacuum laminator (manufactured by Meiki Seisakusho Co., Ltd., product name "MVLP-500") to obtain a laminate. The lamination conditions were a press hot plate temperature of 70°C, a vacuuming time of 20 seconds, a laminating press time of 20 seconds, an atmospheric pressure of 4 KPa or less, and a pressure of 0.4 MPa. The laminate was then left at room temperature for at least one hour, and then exposed to 500 mJ / cm using a direct imaging exposure device "DXP-3512" (manufactured by Oak Seisakusho Co., Ltd.) with an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp as a light source. 2 The entire surface of the photosensitive layer was exposed to an exposure dose of 2000 mJ / cm. Thereafter, the support film was peeled off from the photosensitive layer, and the layer was spray-developed for 60 seconds using a 1% by mass aqueous solution of sodium carbonate at 30°C. Next, the developed photosensitive layer was exposed to an ultraviolet light exposure device at 2000 mJ / cm. 2 After post-exposure at an exposure dose of 1000 ppm, the substrate was heated at 170° C. for 1 hour to prepare a test piece having a cured film on the evaluation substrate.

[0127] The test piece was exposed to conditions of 130°C, 85% RH, and 15 V, and the change in the resistance value between the electrodes was measured. -6 The time when the resistance became Ω or less was taken as the time when copper migration occurred, and the insulation reliability was evaluated according to the following criteria. A: No copper migration occurred even after 200 hours. B: The time for which copper migration occurred was 100 hours or more but less than 200 hours. C: The time required for copper migration to occur was less than 100 hours.
