Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a photosensitive resin composition, a photosensitive resin film, a photosensitive dry film, and a pattern forming method. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, photosensitive polyimide compositions, photosensitive epoxy resin compositions, photosensitive silicone compositions, and the like have been used as photosensitive semiconductor element protective films and insulating films for multilayer printed circuit boards. As a photosensitive material applied to the protection of such substrates and circuits, a photosensitive silicone composition, which is particularly excellent in flexibility, has been proposed (Patent Document 1). This photosensitive silicone composition can be cured at low temperatures and can form a film with excellent reliability such as moisture-resistant adhesion, but has a problem of poor chemical resistance to photoresist stripping solutions with strong dissolving power such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.

[0003] In response to this, a photosensitive silicone composition has been proposed that contains a silicone polymer containing a silphenylene skeleton as a main component (Patent Document 2). The photosensitive silicone composition has improved chemical resistance to photoresist stripping solutions and the like, but further improvements are desired in terms of the level of fineness achieved by pattern formation and copper migration resistance. In addition, when the photosensitive silicone composition is made into a varnish, the viscosity of the varnish changes over time, which affects film thickness adjustment during spin coating on a wafer or dry film application, and therefore improvements are also desired in this respect.

First, it exerts a good quencher effect, and can suppress the diffusion speed when the acid generated by the photoacid generator diffuses in the photocurable resin layer, thereby improving the resolution, suppressing the change in sensitivity after exposure, reducing the substrate dependency or environmental dependency, and improving the exposure margin and pattern shape. Second, it exerts a good catalytic effect during post-curing, and can obtain a cured film with excellent reliability and migration resistance, and also has excellent storage stability because the varnish does not become more viscous due to the progress of reactions between functional groups at room temperature, and the varnish does not become less viscous due to scission of siloxane over time.

[0075] [(E) Solvent] The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention may further contain a solvent as component (E).

[0078] [Other additives] The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention may contain other additives in addition to the above-mentioned components. Examples of the other additives include surfactants commonly used to improve coatability.

[0079] The surfactant is preferably a nonionic one, and examples thereof include fluorine-based surfactants, specifically perfluoroalkyl polyoxyethylene ethanol, fluorinated alkyl esters, perfluoroalkylamine oxides, fluorine-containing organosiloxane compounds, etc. Commercially available surfactants can be used, and examples thereof include Fluorad (registered trademark) FC-430 (manufactured by 3M), Surflon (registered trademark) S-141, S-145 (manufactured by AGC Seimi Chemical Co., Ltd.), Unidyne (registered trademark) DS-401, DS-4031, DS-451 (manufactured by Daikin Industries, Ltd.), Megafac (registered trademark) F-8151 (manufactured by DIC Corporation), and X-70-093 (manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.).

The content of the silane coupling agent is not particularly limited, but when contained, it is preferably 0.01 to 5 mass% in the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention.

[0081] The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can be prepared by a conventional method, for example, by stirring and mixing the above-mentioned components, and then filtering the solid content with a filter or the like as necessary.

[0082] The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention thus prepared is suitably used, for example, as a protective film for semiconductor elements, a protective film for wiring, a coverlay film, a solder mask, a material for an insulating film for a through-hole electrode (for TSV), and further as an adhesive between laminated substrates in three-dimensional lamination.

[0083] [Pattern formation method using photosensitive resin composition] The pattern forming method using the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention comprises the steps of: (i) forming a photosensitive resin film on a substrate using the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention; (ii) exposing the photosensitive resin film to light; and (iii) A step of developing the exposed photosensitive resin film with a developer to form a pattern. It includes.

[0084] Step (i) is a step of forming a photosensitive resin film on a substrate using the photosensitive resin composition. Examples of the substrate include silicon wafers, silicon wafers for through-hole electrodes, silicon wafers thinned by backside polishing, plastic or ceramic substrates, and substrates having metals such as Ni and Au on the entire surface or part of the substrate by ion sputtering or plating. Substrates having irregularities may also be used.

[0085] The photosensitive resin film may be formed, for example, by applying the photosensitive resin composition onto a substrate and pre-heating (pre-baking) as necessary. The application method may be a known method, such as a dip method, a spin coating method, or a roll coating method. The amount of the photosensitive resin composition applied may be appropriately selected depending on the purpose, but it is preferable to apply the composition so that the thickness of the resulting photosensitive resin film is preferably 0.1 to 200 μm, more preferably 1 to 150 μm.

[0086] In order to improve the film thickness uniformity on the substrate surface, a solvent may be dropped onto the substrate before applying the photosensitive resin composition (pre-wetting method). The solvent and the amount of the dropped solvent can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose. As the solvent, for example, alcohols such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA), ketones such as cyclohexanone, glycols such as PGME, etc. are preferable, but it is also possible to use a solvent used in the photosensitive resin composition.

[0087] Here, in order to efficiently carry out the photocuring reaction, pre-baking may be carried out as necessary to evaporate the solvent etc. Pre-baking can be carried out, for example, at 40 to 140° C. for about 1 minute to 1 hour.

[0088] Next, (ii) the photosensitive resin film is exposed to light. In this case, the exposure is preferably performed with light having a wavelength of 10 to 600 nm, and more preferably with light having a wavelength of 190 to 500 nm. Examples of light having such wavelengths include light of various wavelengths generated by a radiation generator, such as ultraviolet rays such as g-rays, h-rays, and i-rays, and far ultraviolet rays (248 nm, 193 nm). Of these, light having a wavelength of 248 to 436 nm is particularly preferred. The exposure dose is 10 to 10,000 mJ / cm. 2 is preferred.

[0089] The exposure may be performed through a photomask. The photomask may be, for example, a photomask having a desired pattern cut out. The material of the photomask is not particularly limited, but is preferably one that blocks light of the wavelengths. For example, a photomask having a light-shielding film made of chromium or the like is preferably used.

[0090] Furthermore, in order to enhance the development sensitivity, a post-exposure bake (PEB) may be performed. The PEB is preferably performed at 40 to 150° C. for 0.5 to 10 minutes. The exposed portion is crosslinked by the PEB to form an insolubilized pattern that is insoluble in an organic solvent, which is a developer.

[0091] After exposure or PEB, (iii) the photosensitive resin film is developed with a developer to form a pattern. As the developer, for example, organic solvents such as alcohols such as IPA, ketones such as cyclohexanone, and glycols such as PGME are preferred, but it is also possible to use a solvent used in the photosensitive resin composition. As a development method, a normal method, for example, a method of immersing a substrate on which a pattern has been formed in the developer, can be mentioned. The non-exposed portion is dissolved and removed by organic solvent development to form a pattern. Thereafter, washing, rinsing, drying, etc. are performed as necessary to obtain a resin film having a desired pattern.

[0092] Furthermore, (iv) the film on which the pattern is formed may be post-cured using an oven or a hot plate, preferably at 100 to 250°C, more preferably at 150 to 220°C. If the post-curing temperature is 100 to 250°C, the crosslink density of the photosensitive resin composition can be increased and the remaining volatile components can be removed, which is preferable from the viewpoints of adhesion to the substrate, heat resistance and strength, electrical properties, and adhesive strength. The post-curing time is preferably 10 minutes to 10 hours, more preferably 10 minutes to 3 hours. If the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is used, a film having excellent various film properties can be obtained even if the post-curing is performed at a relatively low temperature of about 200°C. The film thickness of the film (cured film) after post-curing is usually 1 to 200 μm, preferably 5 to 50 μm.

[0093] When it is not necessary to form a pattern, for example when it is desired to simply form a uniform film, in step (ii) of the pattern formation method, the film can be formed by exposing the film to light of an appropriate wavelength without using the photomask.

[0094] [Board bonding method] The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can also be used as an adhesive for bonding two substrates. An example of a method for bonding substrates is a method in which a substrate on which a film is formed using the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is bonded to a second substrate under suitable conditions of heat and pressure so that an adhesive bond is formed between the two substrates. Either or both of the substrate on which the film is formed and the second substrate may be chipped by dicing or the like. As bonding conditions, a heating temperature of 50 to 200°C and a time of 1 to 60 minutes are preferred. A wafer bonder device may be used as a bonding device to bond wafers together under reduced pressure while applying a load, or chip-wafer or chip-chip bonding may be performed using a flip chip bonder device. The adhesive layer formed between the substrates has a higher bonding strength by a post-curing treatment described later, resulting in permanent adhesion.

[0095] The substrates that have been attached (bonded) are post-cured under the same conditions as in step (iv) described above, thereby increasing the crosslink density of the coating and increasing the substrate adhesive strength. A crosslinking reaction occurs due to heating during bonding, but the crosslinking reaction does not cause a side reaction accompanied by degassing, so that bonding defects (voids) are not induced, particularly when used as a substrate adhesive.

[0096] [Photosensitive dry film] The photosensitive dry film of the present invention comprises a support film and a photosensitive resin coating obtained from the photosensitive resin composition on the support film.

[0097] The photosensitive dry film (support film and photosensitive resin film) is solid, and since the photosensitive resin film does not contain a solvent, there is no risk of air bubbles caused by the evaporation of the solvent remaining inside the photosensitive resin film or between the photosensitive resin film and the uneven substrate.

[0098] The thickness of the photosensitive resin film is preferably 5 to 200 μm, more preferably 10 to 100 μm, from the viewpoints of flatness on an uneven substrate, step coverage, and substrate lamination spacing.

[0099] In addition, the viscosity and fluidity of the photosensitive resin film are closely related, and the photosensitive resin film can exhibit appropriate fluidity in an appropriate viscosity range, and can penetrate deep into narrow gaps and strengthen adhesion to the substrate by softening the resin. Therefore, from the viewpoint of fluidity, the viscosity of the photosensitive resin film is preferably 10 to 5,000 Pa·s, more preferably 30 to 2,000 Pa·s, and even more preferably 50 to 300 Pa·s at 80 to 120°C. In the present invention, the viscosity is a value measured using a rotational viscometer.

[0100] When the photosensitive dry film of the present invention is adhered to a substrate having irregularities, the photosensitive resin film conforms to the irregularities and covers the substrate, achieving high flatness. In particular, the photosensitive resin film is characterized by low viscoelasticity, so that a higher flatness can be achieved. Furthermore, when the photosensitive resin film is adhered to the substrate in a vacuum environment, the occurrence of gaps can be more effectively prevented.

[0101] The photosensitive dry film of the present invention can be produced by applying the photosensitive resin composition onto a support film and drying it to form a photosensitive resin film. As a production device for the photosensitive dry film, a film coater for producing a pressure-sensitive adhesive product can be used. Examples of the film coater include a comma coater, a comma reverse coater, a multi-coater, a die coater, a lip coater, a lip reverse coater, a direct gravure coater, an offset gravure coater, a three-bottom reverse coater, and a four-bottom reverse coater.

[0102] When the support film is unwound from the unwinding shaft of the film coater and passed through the coater head of the film coater, the photosensitive resin composition is applied to the support film in a predetermined thickness, and then the film is passed through a hot air circulating oven at a predetermined temperature and time, and dried on the support film to form a photosensitive resin film, thereby producing a photosensitive dry film. In addition, if necessary, the photosensitive dry film is passed through a laminating roll at a predetermined pressure together with a protective film unwound from another unwinding shaft of the film coater to bond the photosensitive resin film on the support film to the protective film, and then the film is wound up on the winding shaft of the film coater to produce a photosensitive dry film with a protective film. In this case, the temperature is preferably 25 to 150°C, the time is preferably 1 to 100 minutes, and the pressure is preferably 0.01 to 5 MPa.

[0103] The support film may be a single-layer film made of a single film, or a multi-layer film made of a plurality of laminated films. Examples of the material of the film include synthetic resin films such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, and polyethylene terephthalate. Among these, polyethylene terephthalate is preferred because it has appropriate flexibility, mechanical strength, and heat resistance. These films may be subjected to various treatments such as corona treatment and release agent coating. Commercially available products may be used, such as Therapeel WZ (RX), Therapeel BX8 (R) (all manufactured by Toray Film Processing Co., Ltd.), E7302, E7304 (all manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd.), Purex G31, Purex G71T1 (all manufactured by Teijin DuPont Films Co., Ltd.), PET38×1-A3, PET38×1-V8, and PET38×1-X08 (all manufactured by Nippa Corporation).

[0104] The protective film may be the same as the support film described above, but polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene are preferred because they have appropriate flexibility. Commercially available products may be used, and examples of polyethylene terephthalate include those already exemplified, and examples of polyethylene include GF-8 (manufactured by Tamapoly Co., Ltd.) and PE film type 0 (manufactured by Nippa Co., Ltd.).

[0105] The thickness of each of the support film and the protective film is preferably 10 to 100 μm, more preferably 25 to 50 μm, from the viewpoints of stability in the production of the photosensitive dry film and prevention of curling, ie, winding tendency around the core.

[0106] [Patterning method using photosensitive dry film] The pattern forming method using the photosensitive dry film of the present invention includes the steps of: (i') forming a photosensitive resin film on a substrate using the photosensitive dry film of the present invention; (ii) exposing the photosensitive resin film to light; and (iii) A step of developing the exposed photosensitive resin film with a developer to form a pattern. It includes.

[0107] First, in step (i'), a photosensitive resin film is formed on a substrate using a photosensitive dry film. Specifically, the photosensitive resin film of the photosensitive dry film is attached to the substrate to form the photosensitive resin film on the substrate. In addition, when the photosensitive dry film has a protective film, the protective film is peeled off from the photosensitive dry film, and then the photosensitive resin film of the photosensitive dry film is attached to the substrate. The attachment can be performed, for example, using a film attachment device.

[0108] The substrate may be the same as that described in the pattern forming method using a photosensitive resin composition. The film laminating device is preferably a vacuum laminator. For example, the protective film of the photosensitive dry film is peeled off, and the exposed photosensitive resin film is adhered to the substrate on a table at a predetermined temperature in a vacuum chamber at a predetermined vacuum degree using a laminating roll at a predetermined pressure. The temperature is preferably 60 to 120°C, the pressure is preferably 0 to 5.0 MPa, and the vacuum degree is preferably 50 to 500 Pa.

[0109] In order to obtain a photosensitive resin film of the required thickness, the film may be applied multiple times as necessary. The number of times of application is, for example, about 1 to 10 times, and a photosensitive resin film having a thickness of 10 to 1,000 μm, particularly about 100 to 500 μm, can be obtained.

[0110] In order to efficiently carry out the photocuring reaction of the photosensitive resin film and to improve the adhesion between the photosensitive resin film and the substrate, pre-baking may be performed as necessary. Pre-baking can be performed, for example, at 40 to 140° C. for about 1 minute to 1 hour.

[0111] As in the case of the pattern forming method using the photosensitive resin composition, the photosensitive resin film attached to the substrate can be patterned by (ii) exposing the photosensitive resin film to light, (iii) developing the exposed photosensitive resin film with a developer to form a pattern, and (iv) performing a post-curing treatment as necessary. Note that the support film of the photosensitive dry film is peeled off before pre-baking or PEB, or removed by other methods depending on the process.

[0112] The films obtained from the photosensitive resin composition and the photosensitive dry film have excellent heat resistance, flexibility, electrical insulation, mechanical properties, and adhesion to substrates, etc., and are suitably used as protective films for electrical and electronic components such as semiconductor elements and as films for bonding substrates.

[0128] [3] Storage stability of varnish The viscosity of the varnish of the photosensitive resin composition shown in Tables 1 to 3 was measured using a viscometer RB-85R manufactured by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd., and then the varnish was stored at room temperature (25°C) under light-shielded conditions for 360 days, after which the viscosity was measured again. A viscosity change rate of less than ±10% after 360 days compared to the initial day was marked as O, and a viscosity change rate of ±10% or more was marked as ×. The results are shown in Tables 4 to 6.

[0129] [4] Preparation of photosensitive dry film Using a die coater as a film coater and a polyethylene terephthalate film (75 μm thick) as a support film, the varnish of the photosensitive resin composition described in Tables 1 to 3 was applied onto the support film. Next, the film was dried by passing through a hot air circulating oven (length 4 m) set at 100° C. for 5 minutes to form a photosensitive resin film on the support film, thereby obtaining a photosensitive dry film. A polyethylene film (thickness 50 μm) was laminated as a protective film on the photosensitive resin film with a laminating roll at a pressure of 1 MPa to produce a photosensitive dry film with a protective film. The film thickness of each photosensitive resin film was 150 μm. The film thickness of the photosensitive resin film was measured using an optical interference film thickness measuring instrument (F50-EXR manufactured by Filmetrics Inc.).

[0130] [5] Evaluation of resin coating (1) Pattern formation and evaluation, and storage stability evaluation The pattern was formed one day after the production of the photosensitive dry film with the protective film. The photosensitive dry film with the protective film was peeled off, and the degree of vacuum in the vacuum chamber was set to 80 Pa using a vacuum laminator TEAM-100RF (manufactured by Takatori Co., Ltd.), and the photosensitive resin film on the support film was adhered to a migration test substrate (a comb-shaped electrode substrate with copper conductive material, conductive part interval and conductive part width of 20 μm, and conductive part thickness of 4 μm). The temperature condition was 100° C. After returning to normal pressure, the substrate was removed from the vacuum laminator and the support film was peeled off. Next, in order to increase the adhesion to the substrate, preheating was performed at 120° C. for 5 minutes using a hot plate. In order to form a line and space pattern and a contact hole pattern on the obtained photosensitive resin film, exposure was performed using a contact aligner type exposure device under exposure conditions of a wavelength of 405 nm through a mask. After exposure, PEB was performed using a hot plate at 140° C. for 5 minutes, followed by cooling and spray development with PGMEA for 300 seconds to form a pattern.

[0131] The photosensitive resin film on the substrate on which the pattern was formed by the above method was post-cured in an oven at 150°C for 4 hours while purging with nitrogen. Then, the cross sections of the contact hole patterns formed at 300μm, 150μm, 100μm, 70μm, and 50μm were observed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the smallest hole pattern in which the holes penetrated to the bottom of the film was determined as the limiting resolution. Furthermore, the perpendicularity of the 300μm contact hole pattern was evaluated from the obtained cross-sectional photograph, and a perpendicular pattern was marked with ◎, a pattern with a slight inverse taper shape or footing was marked with ○, a pattern with a strong inverse taper shape or footing was marked with △, and an opening failure was marked with ×. The results are shown in Tables 4 to 6.

[0132] In addition, the photosensitive dry film was stored for 360 days under light-shielded conditions at room temperature (25°C), and then the same pattern was formed by the above method. The photosensitive resin film on the substrate on which the pattern was formed was post-cured using an oven at 170°C for 2 hours while purging with nitrogen. Thereafter, the cross sections of the formed contact hole patterns of 300μm, 150μm, 100μm, 70μm, and 50μm were observed by SEM, and the smallest hole pattern in which the holes penetrated to the bottom of the film was determined as the limiting resolution. Furthermore, the perpendicularity of the 300μm contact hole pattern was evaluated from the obtained cross-sectional photograph, and a perpendicular pattern was marked with ◎, a pattern with a slight inverse taper shape or footing was marked with ○, a pattern with a strong inverse taper shape or footing was marked with △, and an opening failure was marked with ×. The results are shown in Tables 4 to 6.

[0133] (2) Evaluation of electrical properties (copper migration) The substrate on which the pattern was formed by the method (1) was used as the substrate for copper migration evaluation, and a test was conducted. The copper migration test was conducted under the conditions of a temperature of 130°C, a humidity of 85%, and an applied voltage of 10V, and the time until a short circuit occurred was confirmed up to an upper limit of 1,000 hours. The results are shown in Tables 4 to 6.

[0134] (3) Evaluation of electrical properties (dielectric breakdown strength) In order to evaluate the dielectric breakdown strength of the photosensitive resin film made of the photosensitive resin composition, each photosensitive resin composition listed in Tables 1 to 3 was applied to a 13 cm x 15 cm, 0.7 mm thick iron plate using a bar coater, exposed to light using a contact aligner type exposure device without a mask under exposure conditions of a wavelength of 405 nm, and then heated at 170°C for 2 hours using an oven to obtain a photosensitive resin film. The photosensitive resin composition was applied so that the film thickness obtained was 0.2 μm. Using this photosensitive resin film, a voltage was applied at a voltage rise rate of 5 V / sec using a dielectric breakdown tester TM-5031AM (manufactured by Tama Densoku Co., Ltd.), and the voltage at which the test specimen broke was measured and taken as the dielectric breakdown strength of the film. The results are shown in Tables 4 to 6.

[0135] (4) Evaluation of reliability (adhesion, crack resistance) The photosensitive dry film with the protective film described above was peeled off, and the degree of vacuum in the vacuum chamber was set to 80 Pa using a vacuum laminator TEAM-100RF (manufactured by Takatori Co., Ltd.), and the photosensitive resin film on the support film was adhered to a CCL substrate on which 10 mm x 10 mm square silicon chips were laminated. The temperature condition was 100°C. After returning to normal pressure, the substrate was removed from the vacuum laminator, and the support film was peeled off. Next, in order to improve adhesion to the substrate, preheating was performed at 120°C for 5 minutes using a hot plate. The obtained photosensitive resin film was exposed to light using a contact aligner type exposure device without a mask under exposure conditions of a wavelength of 405 nm. After light irradiation, PEB was performed on a hot plate at 140°C for 5 minutes, followed by cooling, and post-curing using an oven at 170°C for 2 hours while purging with nitrogen. Then, the substrate was cut into 20 mm x 20 mm square test pieces using a dicing saw (DAD685, manufactured by DISCO, spindle rotation speed 40,000 rpm, cutting speed 20 mm / sec) equipped with a dicing blade, so that the outer circumference of the silicon chip was 5 mm. The obtained test pieces (10 pieces each) were subjected to a heat cycle test (1,000 cycles of holding at -30°C for 10 minutes and at 130°C for 10 minutes). The peeling state of the resin film from the wafer after the heat cycle test and the presence or absence of cracks were confirmed. Those that did not peel or crack at all were marked with ○, those that peeled at least one were marked with ×, and those that cracked at least one were marked with ×. The presence or absence of peeling and cracks was confirmed by top-down observation using an optical microscope and cross-sectional SEM observation. The results are shown in Tables 4 to 6.

[0136] (5) Evaluation of adhesion performance between substrates In order to evaluate the inter-substrate adhesion performance, the photosensitive dry film with the protective film described above was peeled off, and the degree of vacuum in the vacuum chamber was set to 80 Pa using a vacuum laminator TEAM-100RF (manufactured by Takatori Co., Ltd.), and the photosensitive resin film on the support film was adhered to an 8-inch silicon wafer. The temperature condition was 100°C. After returning to normal pressure, the substrate was removed from the vacuum laminator and the support film was peeled off. Next, in order to enhance adhesion to the substrate, preheating was performed at 120°C for 5 minutes using a hot plate. In order to form a 300 μm line and space pattern on the obtained photosensitive resin film, exposure was performed using a contact aligner type exposure device through a mask under exposure conditions of a wavelength of 405 nm. After light irradiation, PEB was performed using a hot plate at 140°C for 5 minutes, followed by cooling, and spray development with PGMEA for 300 seconds to form a pattern. The substrate was then bonded to untreated 8-inch quartz glass or Tempax glass, and heated on a hot plate at 150°C for 5 minutes for temporary bonding. This was followed by post-curing in an oven at 170°C for 2 hours to form an inter-substrate adhesive layer. The bonded wafer was exposed to a temperature of 130°C and a humidity of 85% for 1,000 hours, and the presence or absence of induced bonding defects was confirmed. The results are shown in Tables 4 to 6.

[0137] (6) Evaluation of solvent resistance In order to evaluate the solvent resistance to N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), which is often used when forming semiconductor elements, etc., a 15 mm x 15 mm pattern was formed on a silicon wafer using the photosensitive resin compositions of Examples 1 to 12 and Comparative Examples 1 to 19 in the same manner as in the wafer preparation for the copper migration test in (1). After immersing the wafer in NMP at 40°C for 1 hour, the change in film thickness and appearance were investigated to evaluate the solvent resistance. Those that showed no change in appearance or film thickness were marked with an ◯, and those that showed swelling, etc. were marked with an ×. The results are shown in Tables 4 to 6.

[0138] (7) Evaluation of relative dielectric constant and dielectric tangent The photosensitive dry film with the protective film described above was peeled off, and exposed to light without a mask using a contact aligner type exposure device under exposure conditions of a wavelength of 405 nm. Then, the film was post-cured in an oven at 170°C for 2 hours while purging with nitrogen. After removing from the oven and peeling off the support film, the relative dielectric constant (10 GHz, 25°C) and dielectric loss tangent (10 GHz, 25°C) were measured. The relative dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent were measured by a cavity resonator method using an AET device. The results are shown in Tables 4 to 6.
