Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This description relates to a photosensitive resin composition, a photosensitive resin film utilizing the same, and a semiconductor device. [Background technology]
[0002] As we enter an era of hyper-connected intelligence, encompassing artificial intelligence, big data, IoT, autonomous vehicles, and telemedicine, the development and widespread adoption of diverse electronic devices such as smartphones are accelerating.
[0003] As a result, the importance of 5G communication technology, which enables the wireless transmission of ultra-high-speed, large-capacity data, has become extremely significant. The market size for communication components, materials, and elements used in communication devices, including smartphones, is projected to expand geometrically from 2020 to 2026, reaching approximately US$2.3 billion (14,000 tons / year).
[0004] For dielectric substrates used in 5G communication frequency bands (Sub-6 and 28GHz), the dielectric constant (Dk) and dielectric loss tangent (Df) must be as low as possible to minimize radio wave loss. Therefore, the use of polyimide (PI), which was mainly used in existing 4G LTE communications, is difficult.
[0005] In 2018, TF International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated that he expected "modified polyimide (MPI) to replace LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) and become the main antenna technology for new iPhone® models in the second half of the year." This can be interpreted as meaning that the FCCL (Flexible Cupper Clad Laminate) manufacturing process is structured around polyimide film production lines (existing process), and module companies prefer to use existing processes rather than modifying equipment for LCP-using processes, thus hoping that MPI (Modified PI) will be developed and rapidly applied. It also suggests that MPI, which complements the shortcomings of LCP, has already been developed.
[0006] In other words, there has been a rapid increase in the need to develop polyimide precursor resins with low dielectric constant (Dk) and dielectric loss tangent (Df). [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0034] The increasing use of photosensitive materials for redistribution layers (RDLs) is driven by the growing demand for wafer-level packaging (WLP) and panel-level packaging (PLP) specifications. Currently, photosensitive materials include photosensitive polyimide resins, photosensitive benzocyclobutene (BCB) resins, and photosensitive phenol resins, with photosensitive polyimide resins being the most commonly used as they meet all the requirements for processability and reliability.
[0035] On the other hand, as redistribution layers are multilayered and high-speed processing is performed, high-frequency signals may be lost, necessitating designs that reduce the dielectric loss of the package material.
[0036] This invention relates to a photosensitive resin composition, a photosensitive resin film manufactured using the same, and a semiconductor device containing a photosensitive resin film. Recently, in line with the trend towards miniaturization, increased speed, and the integration of diverse functions in electronic devices, the signal transmission speed within electronic devices or to the outside of electronic devices is accelerating. As a result, there is a need for printed circuit boards that utilize insulators with lower dielectric constants and dielectric loss coefficients than existing insulators.
[0037] Some conventional technologies approach reducing dielectric loss by optimizing the adhesive layer and laminated structure of flexible printed circuit boards (PCBs). However, such methods have structural limitations and require control over the properties of each component. Recently, there has been a movement to apply liquid crystalline polymer (LCP), an insulator with a lower dielectric constant than conventional polyimide and less susceptible to moisture absorption, to flexible printed circuit boards. However, even with the application of LCP, the dielectric constant of LCP (Dk=2.9) is not significantly superior to that of polyimide (Dk=3.2), resulting in minimal application benefits. Furthermore, even with the application of LCP, its low heat resistance becomes a problem, particularly in the brazing process. Additionally, because LCP is a thermoplastic material, it has poor compatibility with existing polyimide-based PCB manufacturing processes when using laser-based via hole processing. Therefore, efforts continue to lower the dielectric constant of polyimide, which is used as an insulator in existing flexible printed circuit boards, as a solution to these problems.
[0038] The object of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive resin composition that can reduce dielectric constant and dielectric loss, thereby improving elongation and reliability, through structural modification of the polyimide resin. As redistribution layers are multilayered and high-speed processing is performed, high-frequency signals may be lost, requiring a design that reduces the dielectric loss of the package material. The inventors of the present invention were able to reduce dielectric loss by modifying the polyimide resin to a structure represented by the following chemical formula 1. [Chemical formula 1] [ka] Chemical formula 1, R 1 and R 2 Each of these is independently a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C20 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3-C20 cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C20 aryl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C20 heterocyclic group. X 1 It is represented by the following chemical formula 2, [Chemical formula 2] [ka] Y 1 It is represented by the following chemical formula 3, [Chemical formula 3] [ka] Chemical formula 3, L 1 ~L 3 These are, independently, substituted or unsubstituted C1-C20 alkylene groups or substituted or unsubstituted C6-C20 arylene groups. n is an integer between 0 and 10. In chemical formulas 1-3, ★ indicates the part that is linked together.
[0039] The following provides a detailed explanation of each component.
[0040] (A) Resin By controlling the structure of the polyimide resin as shown in Chemical Formula 1, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the photosensitive resin composition containing it can all be reduced.
[0041] For example, by further controlling the types of linking groups and substituents in the polyimide resin represented by chemical formula 1, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss can be further reduced.
[0042] For example, in chemical formula 1, R 1 and R 2 These can each be independently represented by the following chemical formula R. [Chemical formula R] [ka] With the chemical formula R, R 3 is a (meth)acrylate group, L 4 These are substituted or unsubstituted C1-C20 alkylene groups, ★ indicates the parts that are connected.
[0043] For example, a polyimide resin represented by chemical formula 1 may further contain a functional group represented by the following chemical formula S at at least one of its ends. [Chemical formula S] [ka] With the chemical formula S, R 4 is a hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C20 alkyl group, ★ indicates the parts that are connected.
[0044] For example, a polyimide resin represented by chemical formula 1 may further contain functional groups represented by chemical formula S at both ends indicated by ★ in chemical formula 1.
[0045] A photosensitive resin composition containing a polyimide resin represented by chemical formula 1, which has a functional group represented by chemical formula S at the terminal end of chemical formula 1, can have improved elongation and reliability.
[0046] For example, in the chemical formula S, R 4 R may be a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C20 alkyl group. In this case, R 4 The elongation rate and reliability improvement effect are significantly greater than when hydrogen atoms are used.
[0047] For example, in chemical formula 1, n can be an integer between 0 and 2.
[0048] For example, in chemical formula 1, n may be an integer of 0. In this case, it can have a better growth rate than when n is an integer from 1 to 10.
[0049] For example, in chemical formula 1, n may be an integer from 1 to 10. In this case, the dielectric loss can be lower than when n is an integer of 0.
[0050] For example, in chemical formula 1, Y 1 This may be an alkyl group substituted with or unsubstituted with an alkyl group, or a C1-C20 alkylene group. In this case, Y 1 This can result in lower dielectric loss and higher elongation compared to the case where the group is an unsubstituted alkylene group.
[0051] In chemical formula 1, Y 1 Y may be an unsubstituted C6-C20 alkylene group. In this case, Y 1 It can have lower dielectric loss and higher elongation than when it is an unsubstituted C1-C5 alkylene group.
[0052] For example, the polyimide resin represented by chemical formula 1 may also be represented by any one of the following chemical formulas 1-1 to 1-4. [Chemical formula 1-1] [ka] [Chemical formula 1-2] [ka] [Chemical formula 1-3] [ka] [Chemical formula 1-4] [ka]
[0053] Using chemical formulas 1-1 to 1-4, R is represented by the following chemical formula 4: [Chemical formula 4] [ka] m is an integer between 1 and 100. ★ indicates the parts that are connected.
[0054] The weight-average molecular weight (M) of the polyimide resin represented by chemical formula 1. w The weight-average molecular weight of the polyimide resin may be between 3,000 g / mol and 300,000 g / mol. When the weight-average molecular weight of the polyimide resin is within this range, sufficient physical properties can be obtained, and it exhibits excellent solubility in organic solvents, making it easy to handle.
[0055] (B) Photopolymerizable compound The photosensitive resin composition according to one embodiment may further contain a photopolymerizable compound. The photopolymerizable compound may be a single compound or a mixture of two different compounds.
[0056] The photopolymerizable compound may also be a compound containing at least two functional groups represented by the following chemical formula 5. [Chemical formula 5] [ka] Chemical formula 5, R 8 is a hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkyl group, L 11 These are single-bonded, substituted, or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkylene groups. ★ indicates the parts that are connected.
[0057] For example, a compound containing at least two functional groups represented by chemical formula 5 may contain two to six functional groups represented by chemical formula 5. In this case, sufficient polymerization can occur during exposure in the pattern formation process, forming a pattern with excellent heat resistance, light resistance, and chemical resistance.
[0058] For example, a compound containing at least two functional groups represented by chemical formula 5 may also be a compound represented by any one of the following chemical formulas 6 to 8, and is not necessarily limited to these. [Chemical formula 6] [ka] [Chemical formula 7] [ka] [Chemical formula 8] [ka]

When the solvent is included within this range, the photosensitive resin composition has an appropriate viscosity, resulting in excellent processability during the production of the photosensitive resin film.
[0078] (E) Other additives A photosensitive resin composition according to one embodiment may further contain other additives.
[0079] The photosensitive resin composition may contain additives such as diacides (e.g., malonic acid), alkanolamines (e.g., 3-amino-1,2-propanediol), light enhancers / subtractors, leveling agents, radical scavengers, silane coupling agents, surfactants, organic acids, epoxy compounds, thermal latent acid generators, developer modifiers, curing agents, or combinations thereof, to prevent stains and spots during coating, improve leveling properties, or prevent the formation of residues due to undeveloped material. The amount of these additives used can be easily adjusted according to the desired physical properties.
[0080] For example, organic acids can improve the electrical properties of a photosensitive resin composition according to one embodiment, ultimately contributing to a reduction in dielectric constant and dielectric loss.
[0081] For example, organic acids can include citric acid. Citric acid can play a role in improving ionic conductivity in electrolyte systems, which can affect electrical properties. For instance, when citric acid is doped into an alginate-based solid biopolymer electrolyte, the electrolyte exhibits non-Debye behavior, which can be analyzed through composite dielectric constant (ε*) and composite electrical modulus (M*). Such results suggest that abnormal dielectric behavior can be induced in systems containing citric acid. When such citric acid is added to a photosensitive resin composition, it can affect the dielectric properties through chemical interactions and structural changes in the resin, ultimately contributing to a reduction in dielectric constant and dielectric loss.
[0082] For example, silane coupling agents can have reactive substituents such as vinyl groups, carboxyl groups, methacryloxy groups, isocyanate groups, and epoxy groups to improve adhesion to the substrate, and their structure differs from that of silane compounds.
[0083] Examples of silane coupling agents include trimethoxysilyl benzoic acid, γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, vinyltriacetoxysilane, vinyltrimethoxysilane, γ-isocyanatetopropyltriethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, and β-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane, which can be used individually or in combination of two or more.
[0084] The silane coupling agent may be included in an amount of 0.01 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the photosensitive resin composition. When the silane coupling agent is included within this range, the adhesion, storage properties, etc., are excellent.
[0085] For example, surfactants are added to prevent film-thickness stains or improve developability, and may include fluorinated surfactants and / or silicone-based surfactants.
[0086] Examples of fluorinated surfactants include BM-1000 and BM-1100 from BM Chemie; Megafac F142D (registered trademark), Megafac F172, Megafac F173, Megafac F183, Megafac F554 from DIC Corporation; Fluorad FC-135, Fluorad FC-170C, Fluorad FC-430, Fluorad FC-431 from 3M Japan Limited; Surflon S-112, Surflon S-113, Surflon S-131, Surflon S-141, Surflon S-145 from AGC Seimi Chemical Co., Ltd.; and DOWSIL SH 28PA, DOWSIL SH 190, DOWSIL SH Products commercially available under names such as 193, DOWSIL® SZ 6032, and DOWSIL® SF 8428 can be used.
[0087] As for silicone-based surfactants, you can use those commercially available from BYK Chem under names such as BYK-307, BYK-333, BYK-361N, BYK-051, BYK-052, BYK-053, BYK-067A, BYK-077, BYK-301, BYK-322, BYK-325, and BYK-378.
[0088] The surfactant can be used in an amount of 0.001 to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the photosensitive resin composition. When the surfactant is included within this range, coating uniformity is ensured, stains do not occur, and excellent wetting properties are observed for ITO substrates or glass substrates, Si wafers, SiNx wafers, and Cu substrates.
[0089] Furthermore, the photosensitive resin composition may further contain epoxy compounds as additives to improve adhesion and other properties. Examples of epoxy compounds that can be used include epoxy novolac acrylic carboxylate resin, orthocresol novolac epoxy resin, phenol novolac epoxy resin, tetramethylbiphenyl epoxy resin, bisphenol A type epoxy resin, alicyclic epoxy resin, or combinations thereof.
[0090] The epoxy compound can be used in an amount of 0.01 to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the photosensitive resin composition. When the epoxy compound is included within this range, it can improve shelf life, adhesion, and other properties.
[0091] The photosensitive resin composition may further contain a thermal latent acid generator. Examples of thermal latent acid generators include, but are not limited to, aryl sulfonic acids such as p-toluenesulfonic acid and benzenesulfonic acid; perfluoroalkyl sulfonic acids such as trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and trifluorobutanesulfonic acid; alkyl sulfonic acids such as methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, and butanesulfonic acid; or combinations thereof.
[0092] Furthermore, the photosensitive resin composition may contain a certain amount of other additives, such as antioxidants and stabilizers, as long as they do not impair its physical properties.
[0093] Another embodiment provides a photosensitive resin film, such as a semiconductor redistribution layer insulating film, manufactured by exposing, developing, and curing the aforementioned photosensitive resin composition.
[0094] The manufacturing method for the photosensitive resin film (semiconductor redistribution layer insulating film) is as follows:
[0095] (1) Coating and film formation stage A photosensitive resin composition is applied to a substrate such as a glass substrate or ITO substrate, Si wafer, SiNx wafer, or Cu substrate that has undergone a predetermined pretreatment, to a desired thickness using methods such as spin or slit coating, roll coating, screen printing, or applicator coating. The coating is then formed by heating at 70°C to 150°C for 1 to 10 minutes to remove the solvent.
[0096] (2) Exposure step After a mask is placed over the resulting photosensitive resin film to form the necessary pattern, it is irradiated with active rays in the 200nm to 500nm range. Light sources that can be used for irradiation include low-pressure mercury lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, ultra-high-pressure mercury lamps, metal halide lamps, and argon gas lasers. In some cases, X-rays and electron beams can also be used.
[0097] The exposure dose varies depending on the type and amount of each component in the composition and the thickness of the dried film, but when using a high-pressure mercury lamp, it is 500 mJ / cm². 2 (Based on a 365nm sensor) The results are as follows:
[0098] (3) Development stage In the development method, following the exposure stage, an alkaline aqueous solution or organic solvent is used as a developer to dissolve and remove unnecessary parts, leaving only the exposed areas to form a pattern.
[0099] (4) Post-processing stage The development process includes a post-heating step to obtain an image pattern with superior properties in terms of heat resistance, light resistance, adhesion, crack resistance, chemical resistance, high strength, and storage stability. For example, after development, the pattern can be heated in an oven at 200°C to 400°C under a nitrogen atmosphere for more than one hour.

[0108] Comparative Synthesis Example 1 In a four-necked flask equipped with a stirrer, temperature control device, nitrogen gas injection device, and condenser, 600 g of γ-butyrolactone (GBL) was mixed with 0.58 mol of a dianehydride monomer represented by chemical formula A, while passing nitrogen through the flask. 1.22 mol of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) was added, and 1.16 mol of pyridine was added while stirring at room temperature to obtain the reaction mixture. After reacting at room temperature for 16 hours, the mixture was cooled to -10°C, and a solution of 1.17 mol of dichlorohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) dissolved in 250 g of GBL was added dropwise over 30 minutes.

After reacting at room temperature for 1 hour, 30 g of ethanol was added and stirred for 1 hour. Next, GBL was added to 3 liters of ethanol to obtain a precipitate, with the solid content of the reaction solution being increased to 18%. The polymer was filtered and separated, dissolved in 1.5 liters of tetrahydrofuran (THF), and added dropwise to 30 liters of water to form a precipitate. This precipitate was then filtered and vacuum-dried. By drying at 50°C under reduced pressure for more than 24 hours, a polyimide resin containing the structural unit represented by the following chemical formula C was produced.

Next, under ice cooling, a solution of 280.0 g of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) dissolved in 150 ml of γ-butyrolactone was added to the reaction mixture over 40 minutes while stirring. Next, a suspension of 123.4 g of 4,4'-oxybisbenzenamine in 440 ml of γ-butyrolactone was added over 30 minutes with stirring. After further stirring at room temperature for 2 hours, 30 ml of N,N-carbonyldiimidazole was added and stirred for 1 hour. Subsequently, 400 ml of γ-butyrolactone was added. The precipitate formed in the reaction mixture was removed by filtration to obtain the reaction solution.

After cooling at room temperature for 60 seconds, the film was irradiated with light for 700 msec using an i-line stepper (Nikon, NSR-2005i10C) to induce the photocuring reaction of the photosensitive portion. The exposed substrate was developed twice at room temperature with 100% cyclopentanone solvent using a 60-second paddle method, and then washed with 100% propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) solvent for 60 seconds. The developed wafer was then cured in a 220°C oven under a nitrogen atmosphere for 2 hours.
[0116] Elongation Evaluation: A cured wafer was immersed in a 5% HCl solution for 1 hour to perform PID coating. A test specimen was cut into 1cm x 10cm pieces and prepared. The elongation at room temperature was measured using a tensile tester (HZ-1003) from Shimadzu Corporation, and the results are shown in Table 2 below.
[0117] Evaluation of dielectric loss tangent (Df): The manufactured film (cured film) was dried at 100°C for 30 minutes, and then pre-treated by aging for 24 hours in a constant temperature and humidity chamber maintained at 23°C and 50% relative humidity. Subsequently, dielectric properties were measured at a frequency of 10 GHz using the SPDR (Split Post Dielectric Resonator) measurement method with Keysight's ENA, and the results are shown in Table 2 below.
[0118] Reliability Evaluation: The manufactured film (cured film) was subjected to 2000 cycles of a thermal cycle (-55°C to 125°C), which is the reliability condition. Subsequently, the presence or absence of crack formation between PI and Cu was checked using FE-SEM, and the results are shown in Table 2 below.
