By setting the content of the (D) inorganic filler in the resin composition within the above range, the linear expansion coefficient of the resin composition can be reduced, and for example, the difference in the linear expansion coefficient between the encapsulated object such as silicon carbide and the resin composition or resin sheet can be reduced.

If the content of the adhesion promoter is within the above range, the peel strength of the resin composition after curing can be further improved.

For example, the resin composition may further contain a crosslinking agent in order to adjust the initial adhesiveness and cohesiveness of the resin sheet before curing. Examples of the crosslinking agent include organic polyisocyanate compounds, amino resins, etc. The crosslinking agents may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0079] Examples of the organic polyisocyanate compound include aromatic polyisocyanate compounds, aliphatic polyisocyanate compounds, alicyclic polyisocyanate compounds, and trimers of these polyisocyanate compounds, as well as isocyanate-terminated urethane prepolymers obtained by reacting these polyisocyanate compounds with polyol compounds.

[0080] As the amino resin, urea resin, melamine resin, guanamine resin, and co-condensation resins thereof can be used.

[0081] The crosslinking agent as described above is usually mixed in an amount of 0.01 to 12 parts by mass, preferably 0.1 to 10 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the binder component (C).

[0082] In the present embodiment, when the resin sheet is formed by coating, the resin composition preferably contains a solvent. Examples of the solvent include common solvents such as toluene, ethyl acetate, and methyl ethyl ketone, as well as high-boiling solvents such as cyclohexanone (boiling point: 155.6°C), dimethylformamide (boiling point: 153°C), dimethylsulfoxide (boiling point: 189.0°C), ethylene glycol ethers (cellosolve) (boiling point: about 120 to 310°C), and ortho-xylene (boiling point: 144.4°C).

[0083] [Resin sheet] The resin sheet according to this embodiment is formed from the resin composition according to this embodiment. In the resin sheet according to this embodiment, the flexibility can be further improved while maintaining the heat resistance. When the resin sheet is used for sealing a semiconductor element or for being interposed between a semiconductor element and another electronic component, it is preferable that the resin sheet is made only of the resin composition according to the present embodiment from the viewpoint of conformity to the irregularities of the adherend to which it is attached, etc. In other words, it is preferable that the resin sheet is not a composite material such as a combination of a resin composition and a fiber sheet, such as a prepreg.

[0084] The peel strength of the resin sheet according to this embodiment after thermal curing is preferably 2.0 N / 10 mm or more, more preferably 3.0 N / 10 mm or more and 50 N / 10 mm or less, even more preferably 4.0 N / 10 mm or more and 50 N / 10 mm or less, and particularly preferably 6.0 N / 10 mm or more and 40 N / 10 mm or less. If the peel strength of the resin sheet according to this embodiment after thermal curing is 2.0 N / 10 mm or more, when the resin sheet is used as a sealing material, it is possible to maintain high adhesion to an adherend. The peel strength after thermal curing of the resin sheet according to this embodiment can be adjusted to the above range, for example, by selecting the components to be used in the resin composition, preferably by blending at least one selected from an allyl resin and an adhesion imparting agent into the resin composition, and adjusting the type and amount of the component. The peel strength of the resin sheet according to the present embodiment after thermal curing was measured by performing a peel test at a peel angle of 90 degrees between the resin sheet after thermal curing and the adherend using the measurement method described below. Specifically, a test piece was prepared as follows, and the peel test was performed. (i) Preparation of test specimens Substrate: Copper foil (size 50mm x 10mm, thickness 150μm, JIS H 3100 specifications) Laminating device: Nikko Materials' "V-130" Bonding conditions: Lamination temperature 130℃, ultimate pressure 200Pa, time 40 seconds Resin sheet heat curing conditions: Heat curing temperature 180℃, heat curing time 2 hours (ii) Peel test method Equipment used: Tensile testing machine (Shimadzu Corporation "Autograph AG-100NXplus") Peeling method: Peel off the cured resin sheet from the substrate. Peeling speed: 50mm / min Peel angle: 90 degrees Measurement environment: 23℃ 50% relative humidity In the resin sheet according to the present embodiment, the resin composition is formed into a sheet, This simplifies application to the adherend, and simplifies attachment, particularly when the adherend has a large area. If the resin composition is in a sheet form, it is preformed into a shape that matches the shape after the sealing process, so that it can be supplied as a sealing material that maintains a certain degree of uniformity simply by applying it. In addition, if the resin composition is in a sheet form, it has no fluidity and is therefore easy to handle.

[0085] The storage modulus E' of the resin sheet according to the present embodiment after thermal curing at 250°C is preferably 150 MPa or more, more preferably 300 MPa or more, and even more preferably 500 MPa or more, from the viewpoint of improving the heat resistance of the cured product of the resin sheet. The storage modulus E' of the resin sheet after thermal curing at 250°C is a value measured for a test piece obtained by curing the resin sheet under the condition of 200°C for 4 hours.

[0086] The method of forming the resin composition into a sheet can be a conventionally known method, and is not particularly limited. When forming a resin sheet from the resin composition by applying a resin composition containing a solvent, the solvent may be completely evaporated in a drying process after application, or a part of the solvent may be left in the resin sheet. The resin sheet according to the present embodiment may be a strip-shaped sheet, or may be provided in a rolled state. The resin sheet according to the present embodiment wound into a roll can be used by being unwound from the roll and cut to a desired size.

[0087] The thickness of the resin sheet according to the present embodiment is, for example, preferably 10 μm or more, more preferably 20 μm or more, and preferably 500 μm or less, more preferably 400 μm or less, and further preferably 300 μm or less.

[0088] The resin sheet according to the present embodiment is preferably used for a semiconductor element. Specifically, the resin sheet according to the present embodiment is preferably used to seal the semiconductor element. In addition, the resin sheet according to the present embodiment is preferably used to be interposed between the semiconductor element and other electronic components. The semiconductor element is preferably a power semiconductor element. Since the resin sheet according to this embodiment has excellent heat resistance, it can be used to seal power semiconductor elements that are expected to operate at high temperatures of 200°C or higher, or to be interposed between the power semiconductor elements and other electronic components.

[0089] In addition, the resin sheet according to the present embodiment is preferably applied to a plurality of semiconductor elements at once. For example, if the resin composition is in a sheet form, the resin sheet can be applied to a structure in which a frame has a plurality of gaps and a semiconductor element is disposed in each gap, and the frame and the semiconductor elements are collectively sealed in a so-called panel level package.

[0090] In addition, the resin sheet according to the present embodiment is preferably used to seal a semiconductor element using at least one of silicon carbide and gallium nitride. Alternatively, the resin sheet according to the present embodiment is preferably used to be interposed between a semiconductor element using at least one of silicon carbide and gallium nitride and another electronic component. Examples of other electronic components include a printed wiring board and a lead frame. Since the upper limit of the operating temperature of silicon semiconductor elements is about 175° C., it is preferable to use, as the power semiconductor element, a semiconductor element using at least one of silicon carbide and gallium nitride, which are capable of operating at high temperatures. Since the resin sheet according to this embodiment is excellent in heat resistance, it can be used to encapsulate a semiconductor element using one or more of silicon carbide and gallium nitride assumed to operate at a high temperature of 200 °C or higher, or to be interposed between a semiconductor element using one or more of silicon carbide and gallium nitride and other electronic components.

[0091] (Thermosetting conditions) In the thermosetting conditions of the resin sheet according to this embodiment, the heating temperature is preferably 50 °C or higher and 300 °C or lower, and more preferably 100 °C or higher and 250 °C or lower. In the thermosetting conditions of the resin sheet according to this embodiment, the heating time is preferably 10 minutes or longer and 10 hours or shorter, and more preferably 20 minutes or longer and 7 hours or shorter. By setting the thermosetting conditions of the resin sheet within the above range, thermosetting of the resin sheet can be realized.

[0092] [Laminate] FIG. 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the laminate 1 according to this embodiment. The laminate 1 according to this embodiment includes a first release material 2, a second release material 4, and a resin sheet 3 provided between the first release material 2 and the second release material 4. The resin sheet 3 is the resin sheet according to this embodiment.

[0093] The first release material 2 and the second release material 4 have releasability, and it is preferable that there is a difference between the release force of the first release material 2 with respect to the resin sheet 3 and the release force of the second release material 4 with respect to the resin sheet 3. The materials of the first release material 2 and the second release material 4 are not particularly limited. The ratio (P2 / P1) of the release force P2 of the second release material 4 to the release force P1 of the first release material 2 is preferably 0.02 ≦ P2 / P1 < 1 or 1 < P2 / P1 ≦ 50.

[0094] The first release material 2 and the second release material 4 may be, for example, a material that has release properties in itself, a material that has been subjected to a release treatment, a material on which a release agent layer is laminated, etc. When the first release material 2 and the second release material 4 have not been subjected to a release treatment, examples of the material for the first release material 2 and the second release material 4 include olefin resins, fluororesins, etc. The first release material 2 and the second release material 4 can be a release material comprising a release substrate and a release agent layer formed on the release substrate. By forming the release material comprising a release substrate and a release agent layer, handling becomes easy. In addition, the first release material 2 and the second release material 4 may comprise a release agent layer on only one side of the release substrate, or may comprise a release agent layer on both sides of the release substrate. The release agent can be formed, for example, by coating the release agent.

[0095] Examples of the release substrate include a paper substrate, a laminated paper obtained by laminating a thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene on the paper substrate, and a plastic film. Examples of the paper substrate include glassine paper, coated paper, and cast-coated paper. Examples of the plastic film include a polyester film (e.g., polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, and polyethylene naphthalate), and a polyolefin film (e.g., polypropylene and polyethylene). Among these, a polyester film is preferred.

[0096] Examples of the release agent include silicone-based release agents made of silicone resins; long-chain alkyl group-containing compound-based release agents made of compounds containing long-chain alkyl groups, such as polyvinyl carbamates and alkyl urea derivatives; alkyd resin-based release agents made of alkyd resins (e.g., non-convertible alkyd resins and convertible alkyd resins); olefin resins (e.g., polyethylene (e.g., high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, and linear low-density polyethylene), propylene homopolymers having an isotactic structure or a syndiotactic structure, etc.) Examples of the release agents include olefin resin-based release agents composed of rubber such as natural rubber and synthetic rubber (e.g., butadiene rubber, isoprene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, methyl methacrylate-butadiene rubber, and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber); and acrylic resin-based release agents composed of acrylic resin such as (meth)acrylic acid ester copolymers. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, alkyd resin-based release agents are preferred. In particular, when a phenoxy resin or polyamideimide resin is used as the binder component (C) of the resin composition contained in the resin sheet 3, if a general silicone-based release agent is used, there is a concern that the release material may be peeled off unintentionally before the use of the resin sheet 3, so it is preferable to use an alkyd resin-based release agent.

[0097] There is no particular limitation on the thickness of the first release material 2 and the second release material 4. It is usually from 1 μm to 500 μm, and preferably from 3 μm to 100 μm. The thickness of the release agent layer is not particularly limited. When the release agent layer is formed by applying a solution containing a release agent, the thickness of the release agent layer is preferably 0.01 μm or more and 3 μm or less, and more preferably 0.03 μm or more and 1 μm or less.

[0098] The method for manufacturing the laminate 1 is not particularly limited. For example, the laminate 1 is manufactured through the following steps. First, a resin composition containing a solvent is applied onto the first release material 2 to form a coating film. Next, the coating film is dried to form a resin sheet 3. Next, the resin sheet 3 and the second release material 4 are bonded together at room temperature to obtain the laminate 1. In this case, when the types of the release materials of the first release material 2 and the second release material 4 are the same, the ratio (P2 / P1) of the release force P2 of the second release material 4 to the release force P1 of the first release material 2 is likely to be P2 / P1<1. Even if the release materials of the first release material 2 and the second release material 4 are different, the value of P2 / P1 tends to be small because the resin composition is applied to the first release material 2.

[0099] [Effects of the embodiment] According to the resin composition and resin sheet of the present embodiment, a resin composition and a resin sheet that have excellent heat resistance and can improve peel strength after thermal curing can be obtained.

[0100] As described above, the resin sheet according to the present embodiment can be suitably used for power semiconductor elements. In other words, in the semiconductor device according to the present embodiment, the semiconductor element is preferably a power semiconductor element. The power semiconductor element is also expected to operate at high temperatures of 200° C. or higher. Therefore, heat resistance is required for materials used in semiconductor devices having power semiconductor elements. Since the resin sheet according to the present embodiment has excellent heat resistance, it is suitably used for covering the power semiconductor element in the semiconductor device, or for being interposed between the power semiconductor element and other components.

[0101] As described above, the resin sheet according to the present embodiment can be suitably used for semiconductor elements using at least one of silicon carbide and gallium nitride. In other words, in the semiconductor device according to the present embodiment, the semiconductor element is preferably a semiconductor element using at least one of silicon carbide and gallium nitride. Since a semiconductor element using at least one of silicon carbide and gallium nitride has characteristics different from those of a silicon semiconductor element, it is preferably used for applications such as power semiconductor elements, high-output devices for base stations, sensors, detectors, and Schottky barrier diodes. In these applications, attention is also paid to the heat resistance of a semiconductor element using at least one of silicon carbide and gallium nitride, and since the resin sheet according to the present embodiment has excellent heat resistance, it is suitably used in combination with a semiconductor element using at least one of silicon carbide and gallium nitride.

[0102] [Modifications of the embodiment] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and any modifications or improvements that can achieve the object of the present invention are included in the present invention.

[0103] In the above embodiment, a laminate having a first release material, a second release material, and a resin sheet disposed between the first release material and the second release material has been described, but the laminate may also have a release material on only one side of the resin sheet.

[0104] In addition, although the semiconductor device embodiment has been described as being used for semiconductor encapsulation, the resin sheet of the present invention can also be used as an insulating material for circuit boards (e.g., a material for a rigid printed wiring board, a material for a flexible wiring board, and an interlayer insulating material for a build-up board, etc.), an adhesive film for build-up, and an adhesive, etc. EXAMPLES

The second release material and the first release material of the resin sheet in the laminate were peeled off before being attached to the Si wafer and the copper plate, respectively. Thereafter, the resin composition was cured under thermal curing conditions at a temperature of 180°C for 2 hours to obtain a sample. For this sample, the copper foil was peeled off from the cured resin sheet at a peel speed of 50 mm / min and a peel angle of 90 degrees using a tensile tester (Shimadzu Corporation, Autograph AG-IS), and the peel strength (unit: N / 10 mm) between the copper foil and the cured resin sheet was measured.
