Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a semiconductor package with an antenna and a resin composition for a semiconductor package with an antenna, and more particularly to a semiconductor package with an antenna and a resin composition for a semiconductor package with an antenna, which have excellent solder heat resistance and low transmission loss. [Background technology]

[0002] As 5G is becoming the standard for the next generation of communications technology, market demand for high frequency compatible products is increasing. Technological developments such as multi-element antenna technology and high speed transmission are accelerating, and communication capacity is increasing due to the use of high frequency bands. At the same time as information processing capabilities are improving, the amount of high frequency noise and heat generated is also increasing, and countermeasures against these issues are becoming a major issue.

[0003] For 5G millimeter wave antennas, a structure that shortens the wiring distance between the antenna and IC to reduce conductor loss (in other words, reduces transmission loss) is required in terms of packaging technology. For this reason, in recent years, semiconductor packages with antennas (for example, antenna-in-package (AiP) and antenna-on-package (AoP)) in which the antenna part is integrally formed with the semiconductor device part have been developed (for example, see Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0019] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. Therefore, it should be understood that the scope of the present invention includes any modifications and improvements to the following embodiments based on the ordinary knowledge of a person skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0020] (1) Semiconductor package with antenna: One embodiment of a semiconductor package with an antenna of the present invention is a semiconductor package with an antenna 100 as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view showing a semiconductor package with an antenna according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0021] 1, the antenna-equipped semiconductor package 100 of this embodiment has an antenna section 5 integrally formed with a semiconductor device section 10, and in particular is a high-frequency substrate on which an RF (radio frequency) chip 8 for performing 5G millimeter wave communication for transmitting and receiving is mounted. In the semiconductor device section 10, the antenna section 5 is connected to the RF chip 8 for performing millimeter wave communication by a wiring layer 4 having various wiring patterns.

[0022] 1 includes a core substrate 2, an antenna portion 5 disposed on one surface side of the semiconductor device portion 10, an insulating layer 1 (first insulating layer 1A) for connecting the semiconductor device portion 10 and the antenna portion 5, a wiring layer 4 having a multi-layer structure disposed in the core substrate 2, and insulating layers 1 (second insulating layer 1B, third insulating layer 1C, fourth insulating layer 1D, fifth insulating layer 1E) configured to cover wiring vias in the wiring layer 4. The first insulating layer 1A may be provided not only so as to be interposed between the semiconductor device portion 10 and the antenna portion 5, but also so as to extend into the inside of the antenna portion 5.

[0023] In the semiconductor package 100 with an antenna, on the other surface side of the semiconductor device section 10, a part of the wiring layer 4 is connected to an RF chip 8 that performs communication of transmitting and receiving millimeter waves, and another part of the wiring layer 4 is connected to an electrically connecting metal 7. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the wiring layer 4 and the RF chip 8 are electrically connected via a hemispherical connection pad 9. The electrically connecting metal 7 is a terminal section for physically and / or electrically connecting the semiconductor package 100 with an antenna to the outside via the electrically connecting metal 7 according to its function.

[0024] In order for the insulating layer 1 to transmit the current and millimeter wave signal output from the RF chip 8 to the antenna unit 5 and radiate them efficiently into space while suppressing attenuation of the current and millimeter wave signal output from the RF chip 8 during transmission, it is required to reduce the loss (transmission loss) of the connection connecting the antenna unit 5 and the RF chip 8. Similarly, in order to transmit the millimeter wave signal received by the antenna unit 5 to the RF chip 8 as a receiver while suppressing attenuation of the reflected wave, it is required to reduce the loss (transmission loss) of the connection connecting the antenna unit 5 and the RF chip 8 during reception.

[0025] The antenna section 5 is disposed on one surface of the semiconductor device section 10 as a patch antenna serving as a planar antenna.

[0026] The semiconductor package 100 with an antenna of this embodiment has a particular main feature with respect to the insulating layer 1 (e.g., first insulating layer 1A) for connecting the semiconductor device section 10 and the antenna section 5, or the configuration of the insulating layer 1 inside the antenna section 5. The configuration of the insulating layer 1 in the semiconductor package 100 with an antenna of this embodiment will be described in further detail below. Note that hereinafter, the insulating layer 1 for connecting the semiconductor device section 10 and the antenna section 5, and the insulating layer 1 inside the antenna section 5 may be collectively referred to simply as "insulating layer 1".

[0027] In the semiconductor package 100 with an antenna of this embodiment, the insulating layer 1 is a cured product of a resin composition containing (A) a styrene-based elastomer having a double bond and (B) a compound that generates radicals. The semiconductor package 100 with an antenna having an insulating layer 1 configured in this manner has excellent solder heat resistance and can reduce transmission loss. In the semiconductor package 100 with an antenna having an antenna unit 5 for 5G millimeter waves, for example, a solder test at 288°C may be performed on the insulating layer 1 for connecting the antenna unit 5, and solder heat resistance at a heat resistance temperature that was not required in the past is required. A known high-frequency film is used as the insulating layer in the conventional semiconductor package, but some of these high-frequency films do not satisfy the above-mentioned solder heat resistance, and many of them cannot be used for the semiconductor package 100 with an antenna having an antenna unit 5 for 5G millimeter waves. In the antenna-equipped semiconductor package 100 of this embodiment, it is preferable that the cured product constituting the insulating layer 1 has a dielectric tangent (tan δ) of 0.0020 or less as measured at a frequency of 10 GHz by the SPDR (split post dielectric resonator) method, and a solder heat resistance of 290°C or more for 2 minutes.

[0028] The insulating layer 1 can be obtained by heat curing the resin composition containing the above-mentioned (A) styrene-based elastomer having a double bond and (B) a compound that generates radicals.

[0029] As the styrene-based elastomer having a double bond (A), for example, there may be mentioned a block copolymer containing a block of styrene or an analog thereof as at least one terminal block and an elastomer block of a conjugated diene as at least one intermediate block. For example, there may be mentioned styrene / butadiene / styrene-based elastomer (SBS), styrene / butadiene / butylene / styrene-based elastomer (SBBS), etc. The cured product of the resin composition containing the styrene-based elastomer having a double bond (A) has excellent solder heat resistance. In particular, from the viewpoint of high frequency characteristics, as the styrene-based elastomer having a double bond (A), there may be mentioned a styrene-based elastomer containing a styrene / butadiene / butylene / styrene block copolymer as a suitable example. The component (A) may be a reactive elastomer to which a functional group such as an amine has been added. By using a reactive elastomer to which a functional group has been added, the adhesive strength (peel strength) can be further improved. The weight average molecular weight of the component (A) is preferably 20,000 to 200,000, and more preferably 30,000 to 150,000. The weight average molecular weight is determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using a calibration curve with standard polystyrene.

[0030] (A) Specific examples of styrene-based elastomers having double bonds include trade names "TR2827", "TR2000", "TR2003", and "TR2250" manufactured by JSR Corporation, and trade names "P1083", "P1500", "P5051", and "MP10" manufactured by Asahi Kasei Chemicals Corporation.

[0031] (B) Examples of compounds that generate radicals include decomposable compounds and non-decomposable compounds. Examples of decomposable compounds include radical generators such as organic peroxides and azo compounds. Examples of organic peroxides include diacyl peroxides such as benzoyl peroxide, isobutyryl peroxide, isononanoyl peroxide, decanoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, parachlorobenzoyl peroxide, and di(3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl)peroxide; peroxyketals such as 2,2-di(4,4-di-(di-tert-butylperoxy)cyclohexyl)propane; isopropyl percarbonate, di- Peroxydicarbonates such as sec-butyl percarbonate, di-2-ethylhexyl percarbonate, di-1-methylheptyl percarbonate, di-3-methoxybutyl percarbonate, and dicyclohexyl percarbonate; tert-butyl perbenzoate, tert-butyl peracetate, tert-butyl per-2-ethylhexanoate, tert-butyl perisobutyrate, tert-butyl perpivalate, and tert-butyl Peroxy esters such as diperadipate, cumyl perneodecanoate, tert-butyl peroxybenzoate, and 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(benzoylperoxy)hexane; ketone peroxides such as methyl ethyl ketone peroxide and cyclohexanone peroxide; dialkyl peroxides such as di-tert-butyl peroxide, dicumyl peroxide, tert-butylcumyl peroxide, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(t-butylperoxy)hexane, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(t-butylperoxy)hexyne-3, 1,1-di(t-hexylperoxy)-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane, di-tert-hexyl peroxide, and di(2-tert-butylperoxyisopropyl)benzene; and hydroperoxides such as cumene hydroxyperoxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, and p-mentha hydroperoxide can be used.There is no particular limitation on the organic peroxide used, but when the insulating layer 1 is formed from a resin composition or film containing a solvent, a drying process at about 60 to 80°C is often required, so it is preferable to use an organic peroxide with a 10-hour half-life temperature of 100°C to 140°C. Furthermore, an organic peroxide with a 10-hour half-life temperature of 110 to 130°C is more preferable. Specifically, dicumyl peroxide can be used. Examples of azo compounds include azoesters. Examples of non-decomposable compounds include compounds having an ethylenic double bond. Examples of compounds having an ethylenic double bond include modified polyphenylene ether (PPE) having a vinyl group or a styrene group at the end, and maleimide compounds. The number average molecular weight (Mn) of the modified polyphenylene ether (PPE) having a vinyl group or a styrene group at the end is preferably in the range of 1000 to 5000, more preferably in the range of 1000 to 3000, and even more preferably in the range of 1000 to 2500, as calculated as polystyrene by GPC method. The maleimide compound is preferably a dimer acid-modified bismaleimide having a number average molecular weight of 1,000 to 8,000.

[0032] Specific examples of compounds that generate radicals (B) include decomposable compounds such as "Percumyl D" (trade name) manufactured by NOF Chemical Industries, Ltd. and "V-601" (trade name) manufactured by Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. Examples of non-decomposable compounds include "OPE-2St 1200" and "OPE-2St 2200" (trade names), which are terminal-modified PPE manufactured by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Industry, Inc.

[0033] In the cured product constituting the insulating layer 1, the contents of (A) the styrene-based elastomer having a double bond and (B) the compound generating radicals are not particularly limited. The styrene-based elastomer having a double bond (A) is preferably contained in the resin composition in an amount of 25.0 to 99.8 mass % in terms of solid content, more preferably 30.0 to 85.0 mass %, and even more preferably 35.0 to 85.0 mass %. The compound generating radicals (B) is preferably contained in the resin composition in an amount of 0.1 to 70.0 mass % in terms of solid content. When (B) is a decomposable compound, the compound generating radicals (B) is preferably contained in the resin composition in an amount of 0.10 to 5 mass %, more preferably 0.10 to 2 mass %, and particularly preferably 0.10 to 1 mass % in terms of solid content. When (B) is a non-decomposable compound, (B) is preferably contained in the resin composition in an amount of 4 to 70 mass %, more preferably 5 to 30 mass %, and particularly preferably 6 to 15 mass %, in terms of solid content. By configuring in this way, the adhesive strength (peel strength) is maintained, while the solder heat resistance of the antenna-equipped semiconductor package 100 is further improved, and the transmission loss can be effectively reduced.

[0034] The cured product constituting the insulating layer 1 may further contain other components. Examples of the other components include cured products of thermosetting resins such as epoxy resins and various curing agents, inorganic fillers such as silica fillers, organic fillers such as PTFE fillers, and various additives such as colorants and dispersants. It is preferable that the cured product constituting the insulating layer 1 further contains PTFE filler. By containing the PTFE filler, the high frequency characteristics of the antenna-equipped semiconductor package 100 can be further improved. From the viewpoint of maintaining the adhesive strength (peel strength), it is preferable that the inorganic filler or organic filler is 50 mass % or less in the cured product constituting the insulating layer 1.

[0035] The cured product constituting the insulating layer 1 may contain a cured product of a thermosetting resin such as an epoxy resin in addition to (A) a styrene-based elastomer having a double bond. However, the total mass of the epoxy resin component and the curing agent component in the cured product is preferably less than 10 parts by mass, more preferably 5 parts by mass or less, relative to 100 parts by mass of (A) a styrene-based elastomer having a double bond and (B) a compound generating radicals. If the content of the epoxy resin component and the curing agent component in the cured product increases, the solder heat resistance and dielectric loss tangent of the antenna-equipped semiconductor package 100 may deteriorate. In one embodiment, the cured product constituting the insulating layer 1 does not contain a cured product of an epoxy resin.

[0036] The semiconductor package 100 with an antenna having an insulating layer 1 made of a cured material as described above has excellent solder heat resistance and low transmission loss, and is therefore suitable for use as a semiconductor package equipped with an RF (radio frequency) chip 8 that performs communication for transmitting and receiving 5G millimeter waves.

[0037] In the semiconductor package with antenna 100 of this embodiment, it is preferable that the first insulating layer 1A for connecting the semiconductor device section 10 and the antenna section 5, and the second insulating layer 1B, third insulating layer 1C, fourth insulating layer 1D, and fifth insulating layer 1E configured to cover the wiring vias in the wiring layer 4 are each configured in the same manner as the insulating layer 1 made of the cured product described above.

[0038] Next, the method for producing the insulating layer 1 in the antenna-equipped semiconductor package 100 of this embodiment is not particularly limited, but for example, the following method can be mentioned.

[0039] First, a resin composition for a semiconductor package with an antenna is prepared, which contains (A) a styrene-based elastomer having a double bond and (B) a compound that generates radicals. Hereinafter, the "resin composition for a semiconductor package with an antenna" may be simply referred to as the "resin composition". From the viewpoint of handling, the resin composition is preferably in the form of a film. This film for a semiconductor package with an antenna can be obtained, for example, by applying a solution of a resin composition containing (A) and (B) in an organic solvent to a support, which is a PET film that has been subjected to a release treatment, and drying at 80 to 130°C. The obtained film for a semiconductor package with an antenna is peeled off from the support, attached to the semiconductor device part 10, and subjected to a heat treatment at 200°C for 30 to 60 minutes, for example, to produce a semiconductor package with an antenna.

[0040] The configuration of the wiring layer 4 and the like in the semiconductor device part 10 in the antenna-equipped semiconductor package 100 is not limited to the configuration shown in Fig. 1 and can be applied to various semiconductor packages equipped with a 5G millimeter wave antenna. For example, Fig. 2 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view showing a semiconductor package with an antenna according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] 2 shows a semiconductor package with an antenna 200, in which antenna units 25 and 26 are integrally formed with a semiconductor device unit 30. In the semiconductor device unit 10, the antenna units 25 and 26 are connected to an RF chip 28 that performs millimeter wave communication by a wiring layer 24 having various wiring patterns.

[0042] The semiconductor device part 30 has a core substrate 22, an antenna part 25 arranged on one surface side of the semiconductor device part 30, and an insulating layer 21 for connecting the semiconductor device part 30 and the antenna part 25. An RF chip 28 for transmitting and receiving 5G millimeter waves is housed in the core substrate 22 and is wired by a wiring layer 24 arranged in the core substrate 22. An antenna part 26 is provided on both ends of the semiconductor device part 30 as a dipole antenna in which linear conductors (elements) are arranged symmetrically on the left and right. The other surface side of the semiconductor device part 30 is connected to an electrical connection metal 27 for physically and / or electrically connecting the antenna-equipped semiconductor package 200 to the outside.

[0043] In the semiconductor package 200 with an antenna as shown in Fig. 2, the insulating layer 21 is made of a cured product of a resin composition containing (A) a styrene-based elastomer having a double bond and (B) a compound that generates radicals, thereby making it possible to provide excellent solder heat resistance and reduce transmission loss. The cured product used as the insulating layer 21 may be one having the same structure as the cured product used as the insulating layer 1 of the semiconductor package 100 with an antenna as shown in Fig. 1.

[0044] (2) Resin composition for semiconductor package with antenna: Next, one embodiment of the resin composition for a semiconductor package with an antenna of the present invention will be described. The resin composition for a semiconductor package with an antenna of this embodiment is a resin composition for forming an insulating layer 1 of a semiconductor package 100 with an antenna as shown in FIG.

[0045] The resin composition for a semiconductor package with an antenna of this embodiment contains (A) a styrene-based elastomer having a double bond and (B) a compound that generates radicals. By heat-curing the resin composition for a semiconductor package with an antenna of this embodiment, an insulating layer for connecting the semiconductor device part and the antenna part of the semiconductor package with an antenna, or an insulating layer inside the antenna part, can be formed. The insulating layer made of the cured product of such a resin composition has excellent solder heat resistance and has little transmission loss.

[0046] As mentioned above, the styrene-based elastomer having a double bond (A) may be styrene / butadiene / styrene-based elastomer (SBS), styrene / butadiene / butylene / styrene-based elastomer (SBBS), etc., and from the viewpoint of high frequency characteristics, a styrene-based elastomer containing a styrene / butadiene / butylene / styrene block copolymer is particularly preferred. There is no particular restriction on the content of the styrene-based elastomer having a double bond (A), and the preferred amount is as described above.

[0047] As described above, the (B) radical generating compound can be a decomposable compound and a non-decomposable compound. As the decomposable compound, for example, a radical generator such as an organic peroxide or an azo compound can be mentioned, and as the non-decomposable compound, for example, a compound having an ethylenic double bond can be mentioned. There is no particular restriction on the content of the (B) radical generating compound, and the preferred amount is as described above.

[0048] The resin composition for a semiconductor package with an antenna of this embodiment may further contain other components. Examples of other components include thermosetting resins such as epoxy resins and various curing agents, inorganic fillers such as silica fillers, organic fillers such as PTFE fillers, and various additives such as colorants and dispersants. The resin composition for a semiconductor package with an antenna of this embodiment preferably further contains a PTFE filler. By containing a PTFE filler, the high-frequency characteristics of the semiconductor package 100 with an antenna can be further improved. From the viewpoint of maintaining the adhesive strength (peel strength), the inorganic filler or organic filler is preferably 50 mass % or less of the resin composition for a semiconductor package with an antenna.

[0049] The total mass of the epoxy resin and the curing agent in the resin composition for a semiconductor package with an antenna is preferably less than 10 parts by mass, more preferably 5 parts by mass or less, per 100 parts by mass of the total of (A) the styrene-based elastomer having a double bond and (B) the compound generating radicals. If the contents of the epoxy resin and the curing agent are increased, the solder heat resistance and the dielectric loss tangent of the insulating layer made of the cured product of the resin composition for a semiconductor package with an antenna may deteriorate. In one embodiment, the resin composition for a semiconductor package with an antenna does not contain an epoxy resin. EXAMPLES

[0050] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. In the following examples, parts and % indicate parts by mass and % by mass, unless otherwise specified.

[0051] Example 1 In Example 1, a resin composition for a semiconductor package with an antenna was prepared as follows. First, 99.75 parts of a styrene-based elastomer (partially hydrogenated) having a double bond was prepared as the (A3) styrene-based elastomer of the (A) component, and 0.25 parts of a compound generating decomposable radicals was prepared as the (B1) radical-generating compound of the (B) component. The (A3) styrene-based elastomer was manufactured by Asahi Kasei Chemicals under the trade name "P1500". The (B1) radical-generating compound was an organic peroxide manufactured by NOF Chemicals under the trade name "Percumyl D".

[0052] After components (A) and (B) were weighed and mixed, they were mixed and dissolved together with an organic solvent while rotating at a rotation speed of 150 rpm to prepare a coating liquid of the resin composition for a semiconductor package with an antenna of Example 1.

[0053] Next, this coating liquid was applied to one side of a support and dried at 120°C to obtain an adhesive film with a support. A release-treated PET film was used as the support.

[0054] A release-treated PET film was placed on the obtained adhesive film with the support to obtain a film laminate of PET film / adhesive film / PET film. This film laminate was subjected to hot pressing under the conditions of a pressing temperature of 200°C, a temperature holding time of 60 minutes, and a pressing pressure of 0.98 MPa to thermally cure the adhesive film.

[0055] The PET films arranged on both sides of the cured adhesive film were removed to prepare specimen A made of the resin composition for a semiconductor package with an antenna of Example 1. The specimen A of Example 1 thus obtained was evaluated for the following dielectric constant (ε) and dielectric tangent (tan δ). The results are shown in Table 1.

[0056] [Dielectric constant (ε), dielectric tangent (tan δ)] A rectangular test piece with one side of 50±0.5 mm and the other side of 70±2 mm was cut out from the cured adhesive film of specimen A, and the thickness of the cut test piece was measured. The dielectric constant (ε) and dielectric loss tangent (tanδ) of the test piece whose thickness was measured were measured at a frequency of 10 GHz using the SPDR (split post dielectric resonator) method. The dielectric loss tangent (tanδ) was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. Rating "Excellent": Dielectric tangent (tan δ) is 0.0015 or less. Rating "Good": Dielectric tangent (tan δ) is greater than 0.0015 and less than 0.0020. Rating "Fail": Dielectric tangent (tan δ) exceeds 0.0020.

[0057] [Peel strength] A copper foil with one side roughened was prepared. The copper foil was laminated with the roughened side facing inward to obtain a copper foil / adhesive film / copper foil laminate. This laminate was thermocompressed and cured using a vacuum press under conditions of 200°C, 60 minutes, and 0.98 MPa. This cured product was cut to a width of 10 mm to prepare a sample (specimen B) for measuring peel strength. Specimen B was peeled off using an autograph (model number: ASG-J-5kNJ) manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation, and the peel strength was measured. The peel strength was measured in accordance with JIS C 6471. The average value of N=5 for each measurement result was calculated. The peel strength was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. Rating "Excellent": Peel strength is 5N / cm or more. Rating "Good": Peel strength is 2N / cm or more and less than 5N / cm. Rating "Fail": Peel strength is less than 2N / cm.

[0058] [Solder heat resistance test] A copper foil with one side roughened was prepared. The copper foil was laminated with the roughened side facing inward to obtain a copper foil / adhesive film / copper foil laminate. This laminate was thermocompressed and cured using a vacuum press under conditions of 200°C, 60 minutes, and 0.98 MPa. This test piece was cut into a square with each side of 30 mm to prepare a solder heat resistance test sample (test piece C). Then, test piece C was floated in a solder bath at 290°C to check for the presence or absence of blistering. The solder heat resistance test was performed in accordance with JIS C 5012 1993. The solder heat resistance test was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. Rating "Excellent": Time until swelling is observed is 180 seconds or more.

[0066] As shown in Tables 1 to 3, the cured resin composition containing a styrene-based elastomer having a double bond as component (A) and a compound generating radicals as component (B) exhibited good values ​​for dielectric constant (ε) and dielectric tangent (tan δ). Furthermore, such cured resins also showed good results in peel strength and solder heat resistance tests.

[0067] On the other hand, the resin composition of Comparative Example 1 did not contain a compound that generates radicals as component (B), and therefore the evaluation results of the peel strength and solder heat resistance test were very poor. The resin composition of Comparative Example 2 contained a certain amount of organic filler ((C2) PTFE), but did not contain a compound that generates radicals as component (B), and therefore the evaluation results of the solder heat resistance test were very poor. The resin composition of Comparative Example 3 was a resin composition using a styrene-based elastomer that does not have a double bond as component (A), and although it had excellent peel strength, the evaluation results of the solder heat resistance test were very poor.
