Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a thermosetting resin composition, a resin sheet made of said composition, and a metal base substrate including said resin sheet. [Background technology]

[0002] Heat dissipation properties are required for insulating materials that make up electric and electronic devices, etc. Various developments have been made to improve the heat dissipation properties of insulating materials. As an example of this type of technology, the technology described in Patent Document 1 is known. Patent Document 1 describes a thermosetting resin composition that uses a bisphenol A type epoxy resin as a thermosetting resin and uses scaly or spherical boron nitride particles as thermally conductive particles.

[0003] Patent Document 2 discloses a resin composition for sealing semiconductors, which contains a thermosetting resin, an inorganic filler, and a specific organosilicon compound such as 2,2-dimethoxy-1-phenyl-1-aza-2-silacyclopentane. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2015-193504 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2019-077840 A [Patent Document 3] JP 2011-102267 A [Patent Document 4] JP 2015-160811 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in the conventional technology described in Patent Document 1, the moisture absorption rate is high, and there are cases where the moisture absorption solder heat resistance and insulation durability are reduced. It has been well known that the addition of a silane coupling agent to thermally conductive particles such as boron nitride particles does not improve adhesion. The semiconductor encapsulation resin composition of Patent Document 2 is intended to improve the flowability and impact resistance, but there is no mention of improving the moisture absorption rate. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The inventors discovered that moisture absorption at the resin or at the interface between the resin and thermally conductive particles affects the moisture absorption solder heat resistance and insulation durability, and as a result of their investigation, they found that by combining thermally conductive particles with an organosiloxane compound such as a silane coupling agent, the moisture absorption rate is reduced and the moisture absorption solder heat resistance and insulation durability are improved. That is, the present invention can be shown as follows.

[0007] According to the present invention, (A) an epoxy resin; (B) a thermosetting resin (excluding epoxy resin (A)), (C) a phenoxy resin having a mesogen structure in the molecule; (D) thermally conductive particles; (E) an organosiloxane compound represented by the following general formula (1), A thermosetting resin composition is provided comprising: [ka] In the general formula (1), Q is an unsubstituted or substituted monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms. X is an unsubstituted or substituted divalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. R 1 is a hydrogen atom or an unsubstituted or substituted monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and multiple R 1 R may be the same or different. 2 is an unsubstituted or substituted monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and there are multiple R 2may be the same or different. n is 0 or 1.)

[0008] According to the present invention, There is provided a resin sheet made of the thermosetting resin composition.

[0009] According to the present invention, A metal substrate; an insulating layer made of the resin sheet; A metal base substrate is provided comprising, in order, a metal layer. Effect of the Invention

[0010] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a thermosetting resin composition which can produce a resin sheet having a low moisture absorption rate, excellent moisture absorption solder heat resistance, and excellent thermal conductivity and insulation properties, a resin sheet made of the composition, and a metal base substrate including the resin sheet. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] [Figure 1] 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a configuration of a metal base substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In all drawings, similar components are given similar reference symbols and their explanations will be omitted as appropriate. In addition, "~" indicates "above" to "below" unless otherwise specified.

[0013] The thermosetting resin composition of the present embodiment is (A) an epoxy resin; (B) a thermosetting resin (excluding epoxy resin (A)), (C) a phenoxy resin having a mesogen structure in the molecule; (D) thermally conductive particles; (E) an organosiloxane compound represented by general formula (1), Includes.

[0014] [Epoxy resin (A)] As the epoxy resin (A), known ones can be used within the scope of the effects of the present invention. For example, glycidyl ethers of bisphenol A type, F type, S type, AD type, etc., hydrogenated bisphenol A type glycidyl ether, phenol novolac type glycidyl ether, cresol novolac type glycidyl ether, bisphenol A type novolac type glycidyl ether, naphthalene type glycidyl ether, biphenol type glycidyl ether, dihydroxypentadiene type glycidyl ether, triphenylmethane type epoxy resin, phenol novolac type epoxy resin, cresol novolac type epoxy resin, hydroquinone type glycidyl ether, etc. can be mentioned, and at least one of them can be used. From the viewpoint of the effects of the present invention, the epoxy resin (A) preferably contains at least one selected from naphthalene-type glycidyl ethers, biphenol-type glycidyl ethers, dihydroxypentadiene-type glycidyl ethers, and hydroquinone-type glycidyl ethers.

[0015] The epoxy resin (A) may preferably contain an epoxy resin containing a mesogenic skeleton, which can further increase the thermal conductivity (heat dissipation) during curing. It is believed that when an epoxy resin containing a mesogenic skeleton is cured, a higher-order structure (liquid crystal phase or crystalline phase) is formed by the mesogenic skeleton. It is believed that the thermal conductivity (heat dissipation) is further increased by the heat being transmitted through the higher-order structure. The presence of the higher-order structure in the cured product can be examined by observation with a polarizing microscope.

[0016] The mesogenic skeleton may be any skeleton that facilitates liquid crystallinity or crystallinity through intermolecular interactions. The mesogenic skeleton preferably includes a conjugated structure. Specific examples of the mesogenic skeleton include a biphenyl skeleton, a phenylbenzoate skeleton, an azobenzene skeleton, a stilbene skeleton, a naphthalene skeleton, an anthracene skeleton, and a phenanthrene skeleton. The epoxy resin (A) particularly preferably contains a condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon skeleton, and particularly preferably contains a naphthalene skeleton.

[0017] For example, a biphenyl skeleton (-C 6 H 4 -C 6 H 4 At high temperatures, the carbon-carbon single bond at the center of the structure may "rotate" due to thermal motion, which may reduce the liquid crystallinity. 6 H 4 -COO-C 6 H 4 -) may also have ester bonds that rotate at high temperatures. However, in the case of a condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon skeleton such as a naphthalene skeleton, in principle, such rotation does not cause a decrease in liquid crystallinity. In other words, when an epoxy resin contains a condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon skeleton, it is easier to further improve heat dissipation in a high-temperature environment.

[0018] In addition, by employing a naphthalene skeleton as the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon skeleton, the epoxy resin can be prevented from becoming too rigid while obtaining the above-mentioned merits. This is because the naphthalene skeleton is relatively small as a mesogen skeleton. The epoxy resin not becoming too rigid is preferable in terms of preventing cracks and the like caused by the stress during curing of the thermosetting resin composition of this embodiment being easily relaxed.

[0019] The epoxy resin (A) preferably contains a di- or higher-functional epoxy resin. In other words, it is preferable that one epoxy resin molecule contains two or more epoxy groups. The number of functional groups of the epoxy resin is preferably 2 to 6, and more preferably 2 to 4. From the viewpoint of the effects of the present invention, the epoxy resin (A) in this embodiment preferably contains one or more compounds selected from the compounds represented by the following formulas.

[0020] [ka]

[0021] The epoxy equivalent of the epoxy resin (A) is, for example, 100 to 200 g / eq, preferably 105 to 190 g / eq, and more preferably 110 to 180 g / eq. By using an epoxy resin having an appropriate epoxy equivalent, it is possible to control the curability and optimize the physical properties of the cured product.

[0022] In one embodiment, the epoxy resin preferably further contains another epoxy resin that is liquid or semi-solid at room temperature (23° C.). Specifically, it is preferable that a part or all of the epoxy resin is liquid or semi-solid at 23° C. The use of a liquid or semi-solid epoxy resin is preferable in terms of ease of forming a cured product in a desired shape. The thermosetting resin composition of the present embodiment may contain only one type of epoxy resin, or may contain two or more types of epoxy resins.

[0023] The epoxy resin (A) is, for example, 5% by mass to 40% by mass, preferably 7% by mass to 35% by mass, and more preferably 10% by mass to 30% by mass, based on the resin component (100% by mass) of the thermosetting resin composition not including the thermally conductive particles (D). This ensures sufficient curability, and allows a resin sheet with excellent thermal conductivity and insulation to be obtained.

[0024] The thermosetting resin composition not containing the thermally conductive particles (D) is composed of resin components other than the thermally conductive particles (D), and contains an epoxy resin (A) and a thermosetting resin (B) as the resin components.

[0025] [Thermosetting resin (B)] The thermosetting resin composition of the present embodiment contains a thermosetting resin (B). The thermosetting resin (B) does not contain an epoxy resin (A). Examples of the thermosetting resin (B) include a thermosetting compound containing a mesogenic structure (mesogenic skeleton) in the molecule, and a thermosetting compound not containing a mesogenic structure in the molecule.

[0026] Examples of the thermosetting resin (B) include cyanate resins, maleimide resins, phenol resins, benzoxazine resins, polyimide resins, unsaturated polyester resins, melamine resins, silicone resins, acrylic resins, and phenol derivatives and derivatives thereof, and at least one of these may be included.

[0027] In this embodiment, the thermosetting resin (B) preferably contains at least one selected from a cyanate resin, a bismaleimide resin, a phenol resin, and a benzoxazine resin, and more preferably contains at least a cyanate resin. As these thermosetting resins, any monomer, oligomer, or polymer having two or more reactive functional groups in one molecule can be used, and there are no particular limitations on the molecular weight or molecular structure.

[0028] (cyanate resin) As the cyanate resin, known ones can be used within the scope of the effects of the present invention. The cyanate resin can include one or more selected from, for example, novolac type cyanate resin; bisphenol type cyanate resin such as bisphenol A type cyanate resin, bisphenol E type cyanate resin, tetramethyl bisphenol F type cyanate resin; naphthol aralkyl type cyanate resin obtained by reacting naphthol aralkyl type phenol resin with cyanogen halide; dicyclopentadiene type cyanate resin; and biphenylene skeleton-containing phenol aralkyl type cyanate resin. Among these, from the viewpoint of the effects of the present invention, it is more preferable to include at least one of novolac type cyanate resin and naphthol aralkyl type cyanate resin, and it is particularly preferable to include novolac type cyanate resin. As the novolac type cyanate resin, for example, one represented by the following general formula (I) can be used.

[0029] [ka]

[0030] The average repeating unit n of the novolac cyanate resin represented by the general formula (I) is any integer. The average repeating unit n is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 or more, more preferably 2 or more. When the average repeating unit n is equal to or more than the above lower limit, the heat resistance of the novolac cyanate resin is improved, and the elimination and volatilization of low molecular weight compounds during heating can be further suppressed. In addition, the average repeating unit n is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 or less, more preferably 7 or less. When n is equal to or less than the above upper limit, the melt viscosity can be suppressed from increasing, and the moldability of the resin sheet can be improved.

[0031] As the cyanate resin, naphthol aralkyl type cyanate resin represented by the following general formula (II) is also preferably used. The naphthol aralkyl type cyanate resin represented by the following general formula (II) is obtained by condensing a naphthol aralkyl type phenol resin obtained by reacting naphthols such as α-naphthol or β-naphthol with p-xylylene glycol, α,α'-dimethoxy-p-xylene, 1,4-di(2-hydroxy-2-propyl)benzene, etc., with a cyanogen halide. The repeating unit n in the general formula (II) is preferably an integer of 10 or less. When the repeating unit n is 10 or less, a more uniform resin sheet can be obtained. In addition, intramolecular polymerization is less likely to occur during synthesis, and separation during washing with water is improved, which tends to prevent a decrease in yield.

[0032] [ka]

[0033] In the above general formula (II), R each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and n represents an integer of 1 or more and 10 or less.

[0034] The cyanate resin is, for example, 10% by mass to 70% by mass, preferably 15% by mass to 60% by mass, and more preferably 20% by mass to 50% by mass, based on the resin component (100% by mass) of the thermosetting resin composition not including the thermally conductive particles (D). This ensures sufficient curability, and allows a resin sheet to be obtained that is more excellent in thermal conductivity and insulation.

[0035] (Maleimide resin) The maleimide resin is preferably, for example, a maleimide resin having at least two maleimide groups in the molecule.

[0036] Examples of maleimide resins having at least two maleimide groups in the molecule include resins having two maleimide groups in the molecule, such as 4,4'-diphenylmethane bismaleimide, m-phenylene bismaleimide, p-phenylene bismaleimide, 2,2-bis[4-(4-maleimidophenoxy)phenyl]propane, bis-(3-ethyl-5-methyl-4-maleimidophenyl)methane, 4-methyl-1,3-phenylene bismaleimide, N,N'-ethylene dimaleimide, N,N'-hexamethylene dimaleimide, bis(4-maleimidophenyl)ether, bis(4-maleimidophenyl)sulfone, 3,3-dimethyl-5,5-diethyl-4,4-diphenylmethane bismaleimide, and bisphenol A diphenyl ether bismaleimide; and resins having three or more maleimide groups in the molecule, such as biphenyl aralkyl maleimide and polyphenylmethane maleimide.

[0037] (Phenol Resin) Examples of the phenol resin include novolac-type phenol resins such as phenol novolac resin, cresol novolac resin, and bisphenol A novolac resin, and resol-type phenol resins, etc. One of these may be used alone, or two or more of them may be used in combination. Among the phenolic resins, phenolic novolac resins are preferred.

[0038] (Benzoxazine resin) Specific examples of the benzoxazine resin include o-cresol aniline type benzoxazine resin, m-cresol aniline type benzoxazine resin, p-cresol aniline type benzoxazine resin, phenol-aniline type benzoxazine resin, phenol-methylamine type benzoxazine resin, phenol-cyclohexylamine type benzoxazine resin, phenol-m-toluidine type benzoxazine resin, phenol-3,5-dimethylaniline type benzoxazine resin, bisphenol A-aniline type benzoxazine resin, bisphenol A-amine type benzoxazine resin, bisphenol F-aniline ... Examples of the benzoxazine resin include aniline type benzoxazine resin, bisphenol S-aniline type benzoxazine resin, dihydroxydiphenylsulfone-aniline type benzoxazine resin, dihydroxydiphenylether-aniline type benzoxazine resin, benzophenone type benzoxazine resin, biphenyl type benzoxazine resin, bisphenol AF-aniline type benzoxazine resin, bisphenol A-methylaniline type benzoxazine resin, phenol-diaminodiphenylmethane type benzoxazine resin, triphenylmethane type benzoxazine resin, and phenolphthalein type benzoxazine resin.

[0039] From the viewpoint of the effects of the present invention, the content of the thermosetting resin (B) is, for example, preferably 0.1 mass % to 70 mass %, more preferably 0.5 mass % to 65 mass %, and even more preferably 1 mass % to 60 mass %, relative to the resin component (100 mass %) of the thermosetting resin composition not including the thermally conductive particles (D).

[0040] [Phenoxy resin (C)] The thermosetting resin composition of the present embodiment contains a phenoxy resin (C) having a mesogen structure in the molecule.

[0041] An example of the mesogenic structure-containing phenoxy resin is one that contains a structural unit derived from a phenol compound and a structural unit derived from an epoxy compound in the molecule, and at least one of these structural units contains a compound having a mesogenic structure. Other examples of the mesogenic structure-containing phenoxy resin include those that contain, in the molecule, a structural unit derived from a mesogenic structure-containing phenol compound.

[0042] An example of the mesogenic structure-containing phenoxy resin can be produced by a known method, for example, by reacting a polyfunctional phenol compound having two or more hydroxy groups in the molecule with a polyfunctional epoxy compound having two or more epoxy groups in the molecule. That is, the phenoxy resin may contain a reaction compound of a polyfunctional phenol compound and a polyfunctional epoxy compound, either or both of which have a mesogen structure.

[0043] Other examples of the mesogenic structure-containing phenoxy resin can be produced by known methods, for example, by subjecting a mesogenic structure-containing phenolic compound having two or more phenol groups in the molecule to an addition polymerization reaction in epichlorohydrin. That is, the phenoxy resin may include an addition polymer of a phenol compound having a mesogen structure.

[0044] The production of the phenoxy resin can be carried out without a solvent or in the presence of a reaction solvent, and the reaction solvent used can be an aprotic organic solvent, such as methyl ethyl ketone, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, acetophenone, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, sulfolane, cyclohexanone, etc. After the reaction is completed, the resin can be obtained as a resin dissolved in a suitable solvent by performing solvent replacement or the like. In addition, the phenoxy resin obtained by the solvent reaction can be made into a solid resin without the solvent by performing a solvent removal treatment using an evaporator or the like.

[0045] As reaction catalysts that can be used in the production of the phenoxy resin, conventionally known polymerization catalysts such as alkali metal hydroxides, tertiary amine compounds, quaternary ammonium compounds, tertiary phosphine compounds, quaternary phosphonium compounds, and imidazole compounds are preferably used.

[0046] The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the phenoxy resin is usually 500 to 200,000, preferably 1,000 to 100,000, and more preferably 2,000 to 50,000. Mw is a value measured by gel permeation chromatography and converted using a standard polystyrene calibration curve.

[0061] The polyfunctional epoxy compound having a mesogenic structure may be, for example, an addition polymer of the compound represented by the general formula (B). These may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0062] Among the polyfunctional phenol compounds and polyfunctional epoxy compounds, polyfunctional phenol compounds having three or more hydroxy groups in the molecule and polyfunctional epoxy compounds having two or more epoxy groups in the molecule may be used.

[0063] That is, the phenoxy resin may include a branched reaction compound between a polyfunctional phenol compound having three or more hydroxy groups in the molecule and a polyfunctional epoxy compound having two or more epoxy groups in the molecule. The polyfunctional phenol compound having three or more hydroxy groups in the molecule can include, for example, polyphenols or polyphenol derivatives.

[0065] The polyphenol derivative includes a compound in which a substitutable position of a polyphenol compound having three or more phenolic hydroxy groups and a mesogenic structure is changed to another substituent.

[0066] In this embodiment, the branched reactive compound can be obtained using one or more of the polyfunctional phenol compounds including a polyfunctional phenol compound having at least three or more hydroxy groups in the molecule, and one or more of the polyfunctional epoxy resins.

[0067] For example, a combination of a trifunctional phenol compound and a difunctional epoxy compound, or a combination of a trifunctional phenol compound, a difunctional phenol compound and a difunctional epoxy compound may be used. As the trifunctional phenol compound, for example, resveratrol represented by the following chemical formula can be used.

[0068] [ka]

[0071] The branched reactive compound (branched phenoxy resin) can be obtained by using a combination of a trifunctional phenol compound and a difunctional epoxy compound, or a combination of a trifunctional phenol compound, a difunctional phenol compound and a difunctional epoxy compound.

[0076] The branched phenoxy resin and the linear phenoxy resin may have an epoxy group or a hydroxy group at the molecular terminal and an epoxy group or a hydroxy group inside the molecule. By having an epoxy group at the terminal or inside, a crosslinking reaction can be formed, and therefore heat resistance can be improved. Furthermore, by having a rigid, electron-conjugated, straight-chain structural unit, the heat dissipation characteristics can be improved.

[0088] It has been well known that adding a silane coupling agent to thermally conductive particles such as boron nitride particles does not improve adhesion, so the effect of adding a silane coupling agent has not been studied so far. This time, when an organosiloxane compound (E) is added to thermally conductive particles (D), it is found that a resin sheet with low moisture absorption rate, excellent moisture absorption solder heat resistance and insulation durability, as well as high thermal conductivity and excellent insulation can be obtained, and the present invention has been completed. Although the mechanism is not clear, it is assumed that the addition of the organosiloxane compound eliminates the influence of polar functional groups that exist in small amounts on the end faces and in-plane lattice defects of the thermally conductive particles and deteriorate the compatibility between the resin and the thermally conductive particles, improving the compatibility and hydrophobicity at the interface between the resin and the thermally conductive particles, and as a result, the thermal resistance at the interface is reduced, and the moisture absorption is further reduced.

[0089] The thermosetting resin composition of the present embodiment may contain the organosiloxane compound (E) in an amount of 0.01 to 2.0 parts by mass, preferably 0.02 to 0.8 parts by mass, and more preferably 0.03 to 0.7 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the thermally conductive particles (D). This makes it possible to obtain a resin sheet having a lower moisture absorption rate and better moisture absorption solder heat resistance and insulation durability.

[0090] (Cure accelerator (F)) The thermosetting resin composition of the present embodiment may contain a curing accelerator (F) as necessary. The type and amount of the curing accelerator (F) are not particularly limited, but an appropriate one can be selected from the viewpoints of reaction rate, reaction temperature, storage property, and the like.

[0091] Examples of the curing accelerator (F) include imidazoles, organic phosphorus compounds, tertiary amines, phenolic compounds, organic acids, etc. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, from the viewpoint of improving heat resistance, it is preferable to use nitrogen atom-containing compounds such as imidazoles.

[0092] Examples of the imidazoles include 2-methylimidazole, 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole, 2-phenyl-4-methylimidazole, 2,4-diethylimidazole, 2-phenyl-4-methyl-5-hydroxyimidazole, 2-phenyl-4,5-dihydroxymethylimidazole, 1-cyanoethyl-2-phenylimidazole, and 1-cyanoethyl-2-phenylimidazolium trimellitate.

[0093] Examples of the tertiary amines include triethylamine, tributylamine, 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, and 1,8-diazabicyclo(5,4,0)undecene-7.

[0094] Examples of the phenol compound include phenol resin, bisphenol A, nonylphenol, 2,2-bis(3-methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, and allylphenol. Examples of the organic acid include acetic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, and p-toluenesulfonic acid.

[0095] The content of the curing accelerator (F) may be 0.01 mass % to 10 mass %, 0.02 mass % to 5 mass %, or 0.05 mass % to 1.5 mass %, relative to 100 mass % of the total thermosetting resin.

[0096] The thermosetting resin composition of the present embodiment may contain other components in addition to the above-mentioned components. Examples of the other components include an antioxidant and a leveling agent. The thermosetting resin composition of the present embodiment can be produced, for example, by the following method.

[0097] The above-mentioned components are dissolved in a solvent, mixed, and stirred to prepare a resin varnish (a thermosetting resin composition in the form of a varnish). This mixing can be performed using various mixers such as ultrasonic dispersion, high-pressure collision dispersion, high-speed rotation dispersion, bead mill, high-speed shear dispersion, and rotation-revolution dispersion. From the viewpoint of the effects of the present invention, the thermally conductive particles (D) and the organosiloxane compound (E) may be mixed in advance, or it is also preferable to prepare a resin varnish other than the organosiloxane compound (E) and mix the organosiloxane compound (E) as an additive into the resin varnish.

[0098] The solvent is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include acetone, methyl isobutyl ketone, toluene, ethyl acetate, cyclohexane, heptane, cyclohexanone, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide, ethylene glycol, cellosolve-based solvents, carbitol-based solvents, anisole, and N-methylpyrrolidone.

[0099] [Resin sheet] The resin sheet of the present embodiment is obtained by curing the thermosetting resin composition. A specific form of the resin sheet includes a carrier substrate and a resin layer formed on the carrier substrate and made of the thermosetting resin composition of the present embodiment.

[0100] The resin sheet can be obtained, for example, by applying a varnish-like thermosetting resin composition onto a carrier substrate to obtain a coating film (resin layer) and then carrying out a solvent removal treatment. The solvent content in the resin sheet can be 10 mass% or less based on the entire thermosetting resin composition. For example, the solvent removal treatment can be carried out under conditions of 80°C to 200°C and 1 minute to 30 minutes. The obtained thermosetting resin composition can then be heated at 150°C to 250°C for 30 minutes to 120 minutes to obtain a cured product. This may be carried out under pressure.

[0101] In this embodiment, the carrier substrate may be, for example, a polymer film or a metal foil. Examples of the polymer film include, but are not limited to, polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate, polycarbonates, release papers such as silicone sheets, and heat-resistant thermoplastic resin sheets such as fluorine-based resins and polyimide resins.

Formula: [(Weight of resin sheet after treatment - Weight of resin sheet before treatment) / Weight of resin sheet before treatment] x 100

[0103] The resin substrate of the present embodiment has an insulating layer made of the cured product of the thermosetting resin composition. This resin substrate can be used as a material for a printed circuit board on which electronic components such as LEDs and power modules are mounted.

[0104] (Metal base board) A metal base substrate 100 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of a metal base substrate 100. As shown in FIG.

[0105] As shown in Fig. 1, the metal base substrate 100 may include a metal substrate 101, an insulating layer 102 provided on the metal substrate 101, and a metal layer 103 provided on the insulating layer 102. The insulating layer 102 may be made of one material selected from the group consisting of a resin layer made of the above-mentioned thermosetting resin composition, a cured product of the thermosetting resin composition, and a laminate. Each of the resin layer and the laminate may be made of a thermosetting resin composition in a B-stage state before the circuit processing of the metal layer 103, and may be a cured product obtained by curing the resin composition after the circuit processing.

[0106] The metal layer 103 is provided on the insulating layer 102 and is subjected to circuit processing. Examples of metals constituting the metal layer 103 include one or more selected from copper, copper alloys, aluminum, aluminum alloys, nickel, iron, tin, and the like. Among these, the metal layer 103 is preferably a copper layer or an aluminum layer, and is particularly preferably a copper layer. By using copper or aluminum, the circuit processing property of the metal layer 103 can be improved. The metal layer 103 may be a metal foil available in a plate shape, or a metal foil available in a roll shape.

[0107] The lower limit of the thickness of the metal layer 103 is, for example, 0.01 mm or more, and preferably 0.035 mm or more, so long as it is applicable to applications requiring a high current. The upper limit of the thickness of the metal layer 103 is, for example, 10.0 mm or less, and preferably 5 mm or less. If the thickness is less than this value, the circuit processability can be improved, and the substrate as a whole can be made thinner.

[0108] The metal substrate 101 has a role of dissipating heat accumulated in the metal base substrate 100. The metal substrate 101 is not particularly limited as long as it is a heat dissipating metal substrate, but may be, for example, a copper substrate, a copper alloy substrate, an aluminum substrate, or an aluminum alloy substrate, with a copper substrate or an aluminum substrate being preferred, and a copper substrate being more preferred. By using a copper substrate or an aluminum substrate, the heat dissipation properties of the metal substrate 101 can be improved. The thickness of the metal substrate 101 can be appropriately set as long as it does not impair the object of the present invention.

[0109] The upper limit of the thickness of the metal substrate 101 is, for example, 20.0 mm or less, and preferably 5.0 mm or less. If the thickness is less than this value, the workability of the metal base substrate 100 in the contour processing, cutting processing, and the like can be improved.

[0110] The lower limit of the thickness of the metal substrate 101 is, for example, 0.01 mm or more, and preferably 0.6 mm or more. By using a metal substrate 101 having a thickness of this value or more, the heat dissipation properties of the metal base substrate 100 as a whole can be improved.

[0111] In this embodiment, the metal base substrate 100 can be used for various substrate applications, but because of its excellent thermal conductivity and heat resistance, it can be used as a printed circuit board that uses an LED or a power module.

[0112] The metal base substrate 100 may have a metal layer 103 that is circuitized by etching or the like into a pattern. In this metal base substrate 100, a solder resist (not shown) may be formed on the outermost layer, and connection electrodes may be exposed so that electronic components can be mounted thereon by exposure and development.
