Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This disclosure relates to a photosensitive resin composition, a photosensitive resin film, a multilayer printed circuit board and a semiconductor package, and a method for manufacturing a multilayer printed circuit board. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, as electronic devices have become smaller and more high-performance, multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs) have become more densely packed due to an increase in the number of circuit layers and miniaturization of wiring. In particular, the density of semiconductor package substrates such as BGAs (ball grid arrays) and CSPs (chip-size packages) on which semiconductor chips are mounted has become remarkable, and in addition to miniaturization of wiring, there is a demand for thinner interlayer insulating layers and smaller vias for interlayer connections.

[0003] A conventional method for manufacturing printed circuit boards is the build-up method (see, for example, Patent Document 1), in which interlayer insulating layers and conductive circuit layers are sequentially laminated to form a multilayer printed circuit board. In multilayer printed circuit boards, with the miniaturization of circuits, the semi-additive method, in which circuits are formed by plating, has become the mainstream. In conventional semi-additive manufacturing methods, for example, (1) a thermosetting resin film is laminated onto a conductor circuit, and the thermosetting resin film is heated and cured to form an interlayer insulating layer. (2) Next, vias for interlayer connection are formed by laser processing, and desmear treatment and roughening treatment are performed by alkaline permanganate treatment, etc. (3) After that, electroless copper plating is applied to the substrate, a pattern is formed using a resist, and then electrolytic copper plating is performed to form a copper circuit layer. (4) Subsequently, the resist is peeled off, and the circuit is formed by flash etching of the electroless layer.

[0004] As a method of forming vias in an interlayer insulating layer formed of a thermosetting resin film, laser processing is the mainstream, but the reduction of the via diameter by laser irradiation is approaching its limit. Further, in forming vias using a laser processing machine, it is necessary to form each via hole one by one. Therefore, when it is necessary to provide a large number of vias due to high density, there are problems that it takes a long time to form vias, the manufacturing cost is high, and the manufacturing efficiency is poor.

[0005] Under such circumstances, as a method capable of forming a large number of vias at once, a photosensitive resin composition containing an acid-modified vinyl group-containing epoxy resin, a photopolymerizable compound, a photopolymerization initiator, an inorganic filler, and a silane compound, and having an inorganic filler content of 10 to 80% by mass has been proposed to form a plurality of small-diameter vias at once by a photolithography method (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

[0105] The photosensitive resin composition of this embodiment is suitable for via formation by photolithography. Therefore, the photosensitive resin composition of this embodiment is suitable as a photosensitive resin composition for photovia formation. Furthermore, the photosensitive resin composition of this embodiment is suitable as a negative-type photosensitive resin composition.

[0106] [Photosensitive resin film] The photosensitive resin film of this embodiment is a photosensitive resin film formed using the photosensitive resin composition of this embodiment. The photosensitive resin film of this embodiment has excellent dielectric properties and is therefore suitable for forming interlayer insulating layers in multilayer printed circuit boards. The photosensitive resin film of this embodiment may have a carrier film on one side, and may also have a protective film on the other side.

[0110] [Multilayer printed circuit board and method for manufacturing the same] The multilayer printed circuit board of this embodiment includes an interlayer insulating layer formed using the photosensitive resin composition or photosensitive resin film of this embodiment. Furthermore, the "interlayer insulating layer" included in the multilayer printed circuit board of this embodiment also includes the layer after various processing or treatments such as the formation of vias and wiring, and roughening treatments have been performed. The method for manufacturing the multilayer printed circuit board of this embodiment is not particularly limited as long as it uses the photosensitive resin composition or photosensitive resin film of this embodiment, but the method for manufacturing the multilayer printed circuit board of this embodiment described below is preferred.

[0111] The method for manufacturing a multilayer printed circuit board according to this embodiment is a method for manufacturing a multilayer printed circuit board that includes the following (1) to (4). (1): Laminating the photosensitive resin film of this embodiment to one or both sides of the circuit board (hereinafter also referred to as "laminating step (1)"). (2) Forming an interlayer insulating layer having vias by exposing and developing the photosensitive resin film laminated in (1) above (hereinafter also referred to as "photovia formation step (2)"). (3) Heat-curing the interlayer insulating layer having vias (hereinafter also referred to as "heat treatment step (3)"). (4) Forming a circuit pattern on the interlayer insulating layer (hereinafter also referred to as "circuit pattern formation step (4)"). The manufacturing method of the multilayer printed circuit board according to this embodiment will be described below, with reference to Figure 1 as appropriate. In this specification, for convenience, certain operations may be referred to as "Step XX," but "Step XX" is not limited to the embodiments specifically described herein.

[0112] (Lamination process (1)) In the lamination process (1), the photosensitive resin film of this embodiment is laminated to one or both sides of the circuit board. Figure 1(a) illustrates the process of forming a photosensitive layer 103 on both sides of a substrate 101 having a circuit pattern 102. The photosensitive layer 103 can be formed by laminating the photosensitive resin film of this embodiment to both sides of the substrate 101. Lamination can be performed by removing the protective film if the photosensitive resin film has one, then placing the photosensitive resin film on the substrate 101 side and pressing it down using a vacuum laminator or the like while applying pressure and heat. Lamination conditions can be, for example, a bonding temperature of 70-130°C, a bonding pressure of 0.1-1.0 MPa, and reduced pressure of 20 mmHg (26.7 hPa) or less. The lamination method can be either batch-based or continuous-roll lamination. If a carrier film is attached to the photosensitive layer 103 after lamination, the carrier film may be peeled off before exposure as described later, or it may be peeled off after exposure.

[0113] (Photovia formation process (2)) In the photovia formation step (2), the photosensitive layer formed in the lamination step (1) is exposed and developed to form an interlayer insulating layer having vias. Figure 1(b) illustrates the process of forming an interlayer insulating layer 104 having vias 105 by exposing and developing a photosensitive layer 103. By exposing the photosensitive layer 103 to light, a photoradical polymerization reaction is initiated by the (D) photopolymerization initiator contained in the photosensitive resin composition of this embodiment, thereby curing components (A) and (B).

[0114] The method for exposing the photosensitive layer 103 may be, for example, a mask exposure method in which active light is irradiated in an image pattern through a negative or positive mask pattern called artwork, or a direct drawing exposure method such as LDI (Laser Direct Imaging) exposure or DLP (Digital Light Processing) exposure, in which active light is irradiated in an image pattern. Examples of known light sources for active light include gas lasers such as carbon arc lamps, mercury vapor arc lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, xenon lamps, and argon lasers; solid-state lasers such as YAG lasers; and semiconductor lasers that effectively emit ultraviolet or visible light. The exposure dose can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the light source used and the thickness of the photosensitive layer. For example, when exposing a photosensitive layer with a thickness of 1 to 100 μm using ultraviolet irradiation from a high-pressure mercury lamp, the exposure dose is preferably 10 to 1,000 mJ / cm². 2 More preferably 50-700 mJ / cm² 2 More preferably 150-400 mJ / cm² 2 That is the case.

[0115] Next, if a carrier film is present on the photosensitive layer 103, the carrier film is removed before development. During development, the uncured portion of the photosensitive layer 103 is removed, and the photocured portion is formed on the substrate as an interlayer insulating layer 104. The development method may be either wet development or dry development, but wet development is preferred. Examples of wet development methods include the dip method, battle method, spray method, brushing, slapping, scraping, and agitation immersion. Among these, the spray method is preferred from the viewpoint of improving resolution. Examples of developing solutions include alkaline aqueous solutions, aqueous developing solutions, and organic solvent developing solutions, with alkaline aqueous solutions being preferred among these. After exposure and development, post-exposure may be performed to enhance the degree of hardening of the interlayer insulating layer. The exposure amount in post-exposure is preferably 0.2 to 10 J / cm². 2, more preferably 0.5~5J / cm 2 That is the case.

[0116] There are no particular restrictions on the shape of a via. In terms of cross-sectional shape, examples include a square or an inverted trapezoid (a shape where the top side is longer than the bottom side). Note that an inverted trapezoid is a shape where the top side is longer than the bottom side. In terms of shape in plan view (the direction in which the bottom of the via is visible), examples include a circle or a square. In the photolithography method for forming vias in this embodiment, vias with an inverted trapezoidal cross-sectional shape can be formed. Vias having this shape are preferable because they have high adhesion of copper plating to the via wall surface. In the photolithography method for forming vias in this embodiment, the diameter of the vias can be made smaller than the diameter of vias produced by laser processing. The diameter of the vias formed by the manufacturing method of this embodiment may be, for example, 40 μm or less, 35 μm or less, or 30 μm or less. There is no particular limit to the lower limit of the via diameter, but for example, it may be 15 μm or more, or 20 μm or more.

[0117] (Heat treatment process (3)) In the heat treatment step (3), the interlayer insulating layer having vias is heat-cured. In other words, in the heat treatment step (3), heating initiates a thermal radical polymerization reaction by (E) organic peroxide contained in the photosensitive resin composition of this embodiment, and, if (H) epoxy resin and (I) epoxy resin curing accelerator are included, an epoxy polymerization reaction by (I) epoxy resin curing accelerator, thereby heating and curing components (C) and (H). The heating temperature is not particularly limited, but is preferably 100 to 300°C, more preferably 120 to 200°C, and even more preferably 150 to 180°C. The heating time is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.3 to 3 hours, more preferably 0.5 to 2 hours, and even more preferably 0.75 to 1.5 hours.

[0118] (Circuit pattern formation process (4)) In the circuit pattern formation step (4), a circuit pattern is formed on the interlayer insulating layer. From the viewpoint of forming fine wiring, the circuit pattern is preferably formed by a semi-additive process. The semi-additive process forms the circuit pattern and simultaneously conducts vias. Specifically, the semi-additive process preferably involves roughening, forming a seed layer, forming a resist pattern, forming a copper circuit layer, and removing the resist pattern in this order.

[0119] [Roughening treatment] The roughening treatment is a process that roughens the surface of the interlayer insulating layer to form anchors for irregularities. If smearing occurs in the photovia formation process (2), the roughening treatment and removal of the smear may be performed simultaneously using a roughening solution. Examples of cruder solutions include alkaline permanganate cruder solutions such as sodium permanganate cruder solution; chromium / sulfuric acid cruder solutions; and sodium fluoride / chromium / sulfuric acid cruder solutions.

[0120] [Formation of the seed layer] Figure 1(c) illustrates the process of forming the seed layer 106. The seed layer 106 is for forming a power supply layer for electrolytic copper plating. The seed layer 106 can be formed by electroless copper plating using a palladium catalyst or the like on the via bottom, via wall surface, and the entire surface of the interlayer insulating layer. The thickness of the seed layer 106 is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 0.1 to 5 μm or 0.2 to 2 μm. A known electroless plating method can be applied. Commercially available electroless copper plating solutions can be used, such as "MSK-DK" from Attec Japan Co., Ltd. and the "Surupap® PEA" series from Uemura Kogyo Co., Ltd.

[0121] [Formation of resist pattern] Figure 1(d) illustrates the process of forming a resist pattern 107 on the seed layer 106. The resist pattern 107 can be formed, for example, by heat-pressing a dry film resist onto the seed layer 106 using a roll laminator or the like, and then exposing and developing it. The thickness of the dry film resist is not particularly limited, but is preferably 3 to 50 μm, and more preferably 5 to 30 μm. Commercially available dry film resists can be used, such as the "FOTECH®" series manufactured by Showa Denko Materials Co., Ltd.

[0122] The dry film resist can be exposed by passing it through a mask on which the desired wiring pattern is drawn. The exposure method can be the same as that used to form vias on a photosensitive resin film. After exposure, the dry film resist is developed using an alkaline aqueous solution to remove unexposed areas and form the resist pattern 107. Subsequently, plasma treatment may be performed to remove any development residue of the dry film resist, if necessary.

[0123] [Formation of copper circuit layers and removal of resist patterns] Figure 1(e) illustrates the process of forming the copper circuit layer 108. The copper circuit layer 108 is preferably formed by electrolytic copper plating. For electrolytic copper plating, commercially available electrolytic copper plating solutions, such as those containing copper sulfate, can be used. After electrolytic copper plating, the resist pattern 107 is removed using an alkaline aqueous solution or an amine-based stripping agent. Furthermore, flash etching to remove the seed layer 106 between wirings, removal of the palladium catalyst, etc., are performed as appropriate by known methods. In addition, if necessary, a post-bake treatment may be performed to sufficiently heat-cur any unreacted thermosetting components.

[0124] Figure 1(f) shows a multilayer printed circuit board 100A that is formed by repeating the above steps and has a solder resist layer 109 on its outermost surface. The solder resist layer 109 can be formed using a known photosensitive resin composition for solder resists.

[0125] The above describes a method for manufacturing a multilayer printed circuit board using the photosensitive resin composition of this embodiment to form vias. However, since the photosensitive resin composition of this embodiment has excellent pattern resolution, it is also suitable for forming cavities for embedding chips or passive elements, for example. The cavities can be suitably formed, for example, in the description of the multilayer printed circuit board above, by making the drawing pattern when exposing the photosensitive resin film to form a pattern such that the desired cavity can be formed.

[0126] [Semiconductor Packages] The semiconductor package of this embodiment is a semiconductor package that includes the multilayer printed circuit board of this embodiment. The semiconductor package of this embodiment can be manufactured by mounting semiconductor elements such as semiconductor chips and memory at predetermined positions on the multilayer printed circuit board of this embodiment, and then sealing the semiconductor elements with a sealing resin or the like.

[0130] [1. Evaluation of relative permittivity (Dk) and dielectric loss tangent (Df)] Two protective films were prepared by peeling off the protective films from the carrier films and photosensitive resin films manufactured in each example and comparative example, and the photosensitive resin films were bonded together. Then, with the carrier films still attached to both sides, they were exposed to light at 400 mJ / cm² using a flatbed exposure machine. 2 (Wavelength 365nm) exposure was performed. Subsequently, the carrier films on both sides were peeled off and exposed to UV conveyor type exposure at 2 J / cm². 2 The material was irradiated with light at a wavelength of 365 nm. After heat treatment at 170°C for 1 hour in a hot air circulating dryer, it was cut into 7 cm x 10 cm pieces and used as the evaluation sample. The obtained evaluation samples were dried in a hot air circulating dryer at 105°C for 10 minutes, and the relative permittivity (Dk) and dielectric loss tangent (Df) were measured in the 10 GHz band using the split post dielectric resonator method (SPDR method).

[0131] [2. Evaluation of surface hardening properties] The protective film was peeled off from the carrier film and the photosensitive resin film with protective film manufactured in each example and comparative example. The photosensitive resin film was then laminated onto a 1.0 mm thick copper-clad laminate substrate using the resin film as the bonding surface to obtain a laminate with carrier film. The lamination was performed using a press-type vacuum laminator (manufactured by Meiki Seisakusho Co., Ltd., product name "MVLP-500") under the following conditions: pressing pressure of 0.4 MPa, press hot plate temperature of 70-80°C, vacuuming time of 25 seconds, lamination press time of 25 seconds, and atmospheric pressure of 4 kPa or less. Furthermore, a laminate with a carrier film was prepared using the same procedure as described above, and a laminate was obtained by peeling off and removing the carrier film from the laminate. The following exposure procedures were performed using the laminates with and without the carrier film obtained above. (1) Exposure conditions with carrier film For the laminate with a carrier film, a parallel light exposure machine (manufactured by Oak Manufacturing Co., Ltd., product name "EXM-1201") using an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp as the light source is applied from the carrier film side at a pressure of 500 mJ / cm². 2 The laminate was fully exposed to light to cure the photosensitive resin film. Then, the carrier film was peeled off the laminate, and the resin surface appearance was observed after development using a 1% sodium carbonate aqueous solution at a spray pressure of 0.2 MPa for 60 seconds. (2) Exposure conditions without carrier film The laminate, from which the carrier film had been removed, was fully exposed from the photosensitive resin film side under the same conditions as above. After development using a 1% sodium carbonate aqueous solution at a spray pressure of 0.2 MPa for 60 seconds, the surface appearance of the resin was observed. The surface of the cured photosensitive resin film formed under the exposure conditions described in (1) and (2) above was visually observed and evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. A: The hardened surface has a glossy finish. B: The surface of the cured material lacks gloss.

[0132] [3. Evaluation of heat resistance] The developed laminate, which was subjected to the evaluation of "(1) Exposure conditions with carrier film" in "2. Evaluation of surface hardening properties" above, was exposed to UV conveyor type exposure at 2 J / cm². 2 The material irradiated with light (wavelength 365 nm) was heat-treated in a hot air circulating dryer at 170°C for 1 hour to obtain a heat-treated laminate. The laminate was left for 100 hours under saturated water vapor conditions of 120°C and 2 atmospheres, and the surface of the laminate, i.e., the appearance of the cured photosensitive resin film, was observed and evaluated according to the evaluation criteria below. A: There is no peeling or swelling. B: There is peeling or blistering.

[0133] [Preparation of photosensitive resin composition] Examples 1-10, Comparative Examples 1-5 (1) Production of photosensitive resin composition Each component was blended according to the formulation shown in Table 1 (the units of the values ​​in the table are parts by mass, and in the case of solutions, the amount is on a solid content basis), and kneaded using a three-roll mill and a self-rotating mixer. Then, methyl ethyl ketone was added to obtain a photosensitive resin composition to a solid content concentration of 65% by mass. (2) Manufacturing of photosensitive resin film A polyethylene terephthalate film (manufactured by Teijin Limited, trade name "G2-16", thickness 16 μm) was used as a carrier film, and the photosensitive resin composition prepared in each example was coated onto the carrier film to a thickness of 25 μm after drying. Then, it was dried at 75°C for 30 minutes using a hot air convection dryer to form a photosensitive resin film with a carrier film. Next, a polyethylene film (manufactured by Tamapoly Co., Ltd., product name "NF-15") was laminated as a protective film to the side of the photosensitive resin film opposite to the side in contact with the carrier film, thereby obtaining a photosensitive resin film with a carrier film and a protective film.

[0134] The above evaluations were performed using the fabricated photosensitive resin film. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0143] Table 1 shows that the cured products formed from the photosensitive resin compositions of Examples 1 to 10 of this embodiment, which contain components (A) to (E), all had low dielectric loss tangent (Df) and excellent heat resistance. On the other hand, Comparative Example 1, which did not use component (E), had a lower dielectric loss tangent (Df) than Example 1, which had the same composition except for component (E). Furthermore, Comparative Example 2, which did not use component (E), had inferior dielectric loss tangent (Df) and heat resistance compared to Example 2, which had the same composition except for component (E). Furthermore, Comparative Example 3, which did not use components (E), (H), and (I), failed to form an evaluable cured product due to poor curing. Furthermore, Comparative Example 4, which did not use components (C), (E), (H), and (I), was inferior in relative permittivity (Dk), dielectric loss tangent (Df), and heat resistance.
