Description

Thus, in one embodiment, the dielectric loss tangent (Df) of the cured product of the resin composition, as measured at 10 GHz and 23°C as in Test Example 6 below, may be preferably 0.0200 or less, 0.0150 or less, more preferably 0.00120 or less, 0.0100 or less, even more preferably 0.0095 or less, 0.0090 or less, and particularly preferably 0.0085 or less, 0.0080 or less.

[0192] In one embodiment, the resin composition (layer) in the resin sheet of the present invention is exposed to the outside air on the side of the resin sheet that is not in contact with the support (the other side is the laminated surface with the support), and after heat treatment at 190°C (under normal pressure) for 30 minutes as in Test Example 2 below, the weight loss rate of the resin composition layer after the resin sheet is heated is preferably 10% by mass or less, more preferably 9% by mass or less, even more preferably 8% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 7% by mass or less, from the viewpoint of further reducing the dielectric loss tangent (Df) and further suppressing the occurrence of warping, and the lower limit thereof is preferably 1% by mass or more, more preferably 1.4% by mass or more, even more preferably 1.6% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 1.8% by mass or more, from the viewpoint of achieving better lamination properties.

[0193] <Applications of resin sheets (resin compositions)> The resin sheet (resin composition) of the present invention can be suitably used as a resin sheet (resin composition) for insulation applications, particularly as a resin sheet (resin composition) for forming an insulating layer. Specifically, it can be suitably used as a resin sheet (resin composition) for forming an insulating layer (including a rewiring layer) to be formed on an insulating layer (resin sheet (resin composition) for forming an insulating layer for forming a conductor layer). It can also be suitably used as a resin sheet (resin composition) for forming an insulating layer of a printed wiring board (resin sheet (resin composition) for forming an insulating layer of a printed wiring board), as described below, and can be even more suitably used for forming an interlayer insulating layer of a printed wiring board (for an interlayer insulating layer of a printed wiring board). Furthermore, the resin sheet (resin composition) of the present invention provides an insulating layer with good component embedding properties, and can therefore be suitably used even when the printed wiring board is a circuit board with built-in components.

[0194] Furthermore, for example, when a semiconductor chip package is manufactured through the following steps (1) to (6), the resin sheet (resin composition) of the present invention can be suitably used as a resin sheet (resin composition) for a rewiring formation layer for forming a rewiring layer in the semiconductor chip package (a resin sheet (resin composition) for forming a rewiring formation layer), and as a resin sheet (resin composition) for encapsulating a semiconductor chip in the semiconductor chip package (a resin sheet (resin composition) for encapsulating a semiconductor chip). When a semiconductor chip package is manufactured, a rewiring layer may be further formed on the encapsulation layer. (1) a step of laminating a temporary fixing film on a substrate; (2) a step of temporarily fixing a semiconductor chip on a temporary fixing film; (3) forming an encapsulation layer on the semiconductor chip; (4) peeling the substrate and the temporary fixing film from the semiconductor chip; (5) 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; and (6) A step of forming a rewiring layer as a conductor layer on the rewiring formation layer.

[0195] <Printed wiring board> The resin sheet of the present invention can be used to produce a printed wiring board, which includes an insulating layer obtained by curing the resin composition (layer) in the resin sheet of the present invention.

[0196] A printed wiring board can be produced, for example, by using the resin sheet of the present invention by a method including the following steps (I) and (II). (I) A step of laminating a resin sheet on an inner layer substrate so that the resin composition (layer) of the resin sheet is bonded to the inner layer substrate. (II) A step of curing (for example, heat curing) the resin composition (layer) to form an insulating layer.

[0197] The "inner layer substrate" used in step (I) is a member that will become the substrate of a printed wiring board, and examples thereof include glass epoxy substrates, metal substrates, polyester substrates, polyimide substrates, BT resin substrates, and thermosetting polyphenylene ether substrates. The substrate may have a conductor layer on one or both sides, and this conductor layer may be patterned. An inner layer substrate having a conductor layer (circuit) formed on one or both sides of the substrate may be referred to as an "inner layer circuit board." Furthermore, the "inner layer substrate" of the present invention also includes intermediate products on which an insulating layer and / or a conductor layer is to be further formed during the production of a printed wiring board. When the printed wiring board is a circuit board with built-in components, an inner layer substrate with built-in components may be used.

[0198] The inner layer substrate and the resin sheet can be laminated, for example, by thermocompression bonding the resin sheet to the inner layer substrate from the support side. Examples of a member for thermocompression bonding the resin sheet to the inner layer substrate (hereinafter also referred to as a "thermocompression bonding member") include a heated metal plate (such as a SUS end plate) or a metal roll (SUS roll). Note that rather than pressing the thermocompression bonding member directly onto the resin sheet, it is preferable to press it via an elastic material such as heat-resistant rubber so that the resin sheet can sufficiently conform to the surface irregularities of the inner layer substrate.

[0199] The lamination of the inner layer substrate and the resin sheet may be carried out by a vacuum lamination method. In the vacuum lamination method, the thermocompression temperature is preferably in the range of 60°C to 160°C, more preferably 80°C to 140°C, the thermocompression pressure is preferably in the range of 0.098MPa to 1.77MPa, more preferably 0.29MPa to 1.47MPa, and the thermocompression time is preferably in the range of 20 seconds to 400 seconds, more preferably 30 seconds to 300 seconds. The lamination may be carried out under reduced pressure conditions, preferably at a pressure of 26.7hPa or less.

[0200] The lamination can be performed using a commercially available vacuum laminator, such as a vacuum pressure laminator manufactured by Meiki Seisakusho Co., Ltd., a vacuum applicator manufactured by Nikko Materials Co., Ltd., or a batch vacuum pressure laminator.

[0201] After lamination, the laminated resin sheets may be smoothed under normal pressure (atmospheric pressure), for example, by pressing a thermocompression member from the support side. The pressing conditions for the smoothing treatment may be the same as the thermocompression conditions for lamination. The smoothing treatment may be performed using a commercially available laminator. Note that lamination and smoothing treatment may be performed consecutively using the commercially available vacuum laminator.

[0202] The support may be removed between step (I) and step (II), or may be removed after step (II).

[0203] In step (II), the resin composition (layer) is cured (for example, thermally cured) to form an insulating layer. The curing conditions for the resin composition (layer) are not particularly limited, and conditions typically employed for forming insulating layers for printed wiring boards may be used.

[0204] For example, the thermal curing conditions for the resin composition (layer) vary depending on the types of components contained in the resin composition (layer), but in one embodiment, the curing temperature is preferably 120° C. to 240° C., more preferably 150° C. to 220° C., and even more preferably 170° C. to 210° C. The curing time is preferably 5 minutes to 120 minutes, more preferably 10 minutes to 100 minutes, and even more preferably 15 minutes to 100 minutes.

[0205] Before thermally curing the resin composition (layer), the resin composition (layer) may be preheated at a temperature lower than the curing temperature. For example, prior to thermally curing the resin composition (layer), the resin composition (layer) may be preheated at a temperature of 50°C to 120°C, preferably 60°C to 115°C, more preferably 70°C to 110°C for 5 minutes or more, preferably 5 minutes to 150 minutes, more preferably 15 minutes to 120 minutes, and even more preferably 15 minutes to 100 minutes.

[0206] When manufacturing a printed wiring board, the following steps may be further performed: (III) drilling holes in the insulating layer, (IV) roughening the insulating layer, and (V) forming a conductor layer. These steps (III) to (V) may be performed according to various methods known to those skilled in the art and used in manufacturing printed wiring boards. When the support is removed after step (II), the removal of the support may be performed between steps (II) and (III), between steps (III) and (IV), or between steps (IV) and (V). Furthermore, if necessary, the formation of the insulating layer and the conductor layer in steps (II) to (V) may be repeated to form a multilayer wiring board.

[0207] Step (III) is a step of drilling holes in the insulating layer, thereby forming holes such as via holes and through holes in the insulating layer. Step (III) may be performed using, for example, a drill, a laser, plasma, or the like, depending on the composition of the resin composition (layer) used to form the insulating layer. The dimensions and shape of the holes may be determined appropriately depending on the design of the printed wiring board.

[0208] Step (IV) is a step of roughening the insulating layer. Typically, smear removal is also performed in this step (IV). The roughening treatment procedure and conditions are not particularly limited, and known procedures and conditions commonly used in forming insulating layers for printed wiring boards can be adopted. For example, the insulating layer can be roughened by performing a swelling treatment with a swelling liquid, a roughening treatment with an oxidizing agent, and a neutralization treatment with a neutralizing liquid in this order.

[0209] The swelling liquid used in the roughening treatment is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include alkaline solutions and surfactant solutions, and is preferably an alkaline solution, with sodium hydroxide solution and potassium hydroxide solution being more preferred. Commercially available swelling liquids include "Swelling Dip Securigance P" and "Swelling Dip Securigance SBU" manufactured by Atotech Japan. The swelling treatment using a swelling liquid is not particularly limited, but can be carried out by, for example, immersing the insulating layer in a swelling liquid at 30°C to 90°C for 1 to 20 minutes. To keep the swelling of the resin in the insulating layer to an appropriate level, it is preferable to immerse the insulating layer in a swelling liquid at 40°C to 80°C for 5 to 15 minutes.

[0210] The oxidizing agent used in the roughening treatment is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include alkaline permanganate solutions prepared by dissolving potassium permanganate or sodium permanganate in an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. Roughening treatment using an oxidizing agent such as alkaline permanganate solution is preferably carried out by immersing the insulating layer in an oxidizing agent solution heated to 60°C to 100°C for 10 to 30 minutes. The concentration of permanganate in the alkaline permanganate solution is preferably 5% by mass to 10% by mass. Commercially available oxidizing agents include alkaline permanganate solutions such as "Concentrate Compact CP" and "Dosing Solution Securigance P" manufactured by Atotech Japan.

[0211] The neutralizing solution used in the roughening treatment is preferably an acidic aqueous solution, and examples of commercially available products include "Reduction Solution Securigant P" manufactured by Atotech Japan.

[0212] Treatment with a neutralizing solution can be carried out by immersing the surface that has been roughened with an oxidizing agent in a neutralizing solution at 30° C. to 80° C. for 5 to 30 minutes. From the standpoint of workability, etc., a method in which the object that has been roughened with an oxidizing agent is immersed in a neutralizing solution at 40° C. to 70° C. for 5 to 20 minutes is preferred.

[0213] In one embodiment, the arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) of the insulating layer surface after the roughening treatment is not particularly limited, but is preferably 500 nm or less, more preferably 400 nm or less, and even more preferably 300 nm or less. The lower limit is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 1 nm or more, 2 nm or more, etc. Furthermore, the root mean square roughness (Rq) of the insulating layer surface after the roughening treatment is preferably 500 nm or less, more preferably 400 nm or less, and even more preferably 300 nm or less. The lower limit is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 1 nm or more, 2 nm or more, etc. The arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) and root mean square roughness (Rq) of the insulating layer surface can be measured using a non-contact surface roughness meter.

[0214] Step (V) is a step of forming a conductor layer, and the conductor layer is formed on the insulating layer. The conductor material used for the conductor layer is not particularly limited. In a preferred embodiment, the conductor layer contains one or more metals selected from the group consisting of gold, platinum, palladium, silver, copper, aluminum, cobalt, chromium, zinc, nickel, titanium, tungsten, iron, tin, and indium. The conductor layer may be a single metal layer or an alloy layer. Examples of alloy layers include layers formed from alloys of two or more metals selected from the above group (e.g., nickel-chromium alloys, copper-nickel alloys, and copper-titanium alloys). Among these, from the viewpoints of versatility in forming the conductor layer, cost, ease of patterning, etc., a single metal layer of chromium, nickel, titanium, aluminum, zinc, gold, palladium, silver, or copper, or an alloy layer of a nickel-chromium alloy, a copper-nickel alloy, or a copper-titanium alloy is preferred, a single metal layer of chromium, nickel, titanium, aluminum, zinc, gold, palladium, silver, or copper, or an alloy layer of a nickel-chromium alloy is more preferred, and a single metal layer of copper is even more preferred.

[0215] The conductor layer may have a single layer structure or a multi-layer structure in which two or more single metal layers or alloy layers made of different types of metals or alloys are laminated. When the conductor layer has a multi-layer structure, the layer in contact with the insulating layer is preferably a single metal layer of chromium, zinc, or titanium, or an alloy layer of a nickel-chromium alloy.

[0216] The thickness of the conductor layer depends on the desired design of the printed wiring board, but is generally 3 μm to 35 μm, preferably 5 μm to 30 μm.

[0217] In one embodiment, the conductor layer may be formed by plating. For example, a conductor layer having a desired wiring pattern can be formed by plating the surface of the insulating layer using a conventionally known technique such as a semi-additive method or a full-additive method. From the viewpoint of ease of production, it is preferable to form the conductor layer by a semi-additive method. An example of forming the conductor layer by a semi-additive method will be described below.

[0218] First, a plating seed layer is formed on the surface of an insulating layer by electroless plating. Next, a mask pattern is formed on the formed plating seed layer, exposing a portion of the plating seed layer corresponding to the desired wiring pattern. After a metal layer is formed on the exposed plating seed layer by electrolytic plating, the mask pattern is removed. Thereafter, unnecessary plating seed layer is removed by etching or the like, thereby forming a conductor layer having the desired wiring pattern.

[0219] In another embodiment, the conductor layer may be formed using a metal foil. When a metal foil is used to form the conductor layer, step (V) is preferably performed between steps (I) and (II). For example, after step (I), the support is removed, and a metal foil is laminated on the exposed surface of the resin composition layer. The resin composition layer and the metal foil may be laminated by a vacuum lamination method. The lamination conditions may be the same as those described for step (I). Next, step (II) is performed to form an insulating layer. Thereafter, a conductor layer having a desired wiring pattern can be formed using the metal foil on the insulating layer by a conventionally known technique such as a subtractive method or a modified semi-additive method.

[0220] The metal foil can be produced by a known method such as an electrolytic method, a rolling method, etc. Examples of commercially available metal foils include HLP foil and JXUT-III foil manufactured by JX Nippon Mining & Metals Corporation, and 3EC-III foil and TP-III foil manufactured by Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd.

[0221] <Semiconductor device> The printed wiring board described above can be used in a semiconductor device including a printed wiring board.

[0222] Examples of semiconductor devices include various semiconductor devices used in electrical appliances (for example, computers, mobile phones, digital cameras, and televisions) and vehicles (for example, motorcycles, automobiles, trains, ships, and aircraft). [Example]

The disappearance of the NCO peak was considered to be the end of the reaction, and the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. The mixture was then filtered through a 100-mesh filter cloth to obtain Elastomer B (non-volatile components: 50% by mass) having a polycarbonate structure. Elastomer B had a number average molecular weight of 6,100 and a glass transition temperature of 5°C.

[0256] <Test Example 6: Measurement and Evaluation of Dielectric Tangent> A portion of the resin sheet produced in each of the examples and comparative examples was cut out and heated at 180° C. for 90 minutes to thermally cure the resin composition layer. Thereafter, the support was peeled off to obtain a cured product for evaluation.

[0257] The cured product for evaluation was cut into a piece 2 mm wide and 80 mm long to obtain a test piece. The dielectric loss tangent (Df) of the obtained test piece was measured using an Agilent Technologies HP8362B by the cavity resonance perturbation method at a measurement frequency of 10 GHz and a measurement temperature of 23°C. Measurements were performed on two test pieces, and the average value was calculated. Evaluation was based on this average value according to the following evaluation criteria.
