Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a photosensitive resin composition containing a polyimide precursor having a specific structure, a dry film provided with a resin layer formed from the photosensitive resin composition, a cured product formed from the photosensitive resin composition, and an electronic component such as a printed wiring board or a semiconductor element having the cured product as a forming material.

Background Art

[0002] Photosensitive resin compositions containing polyimide precursors are widely used in various fields because they exhibit excellent properties such as insulation, heat resistance, and mechanical strength. For example, their application to buffer coat films of flexible printed wiring boards and semiconductor elements and to insulating films for redistribution layers of wafer-level packages (WLPs) is being promoted.

[0003] Specifically, an alkali-developable photosensitive resin composition is coated and dried on a substrate to form a coating film, then exposed through a pattern mask, and then alkali development is performed using the difference in solubility of the exposed and unexposed portions in an alkali developer to form a film having a desired pattern. By heating this pattern film, the polyimide precursor contained in the photosensitive resin composition can be subjected to a ring-closing reaction to obtain a cured film that has been imidized.

[0004] In recent semiconductor devices, with the demands for higher functionality and miniaturization, it is required to form a cured film with a finer pattern on the buffer coat film and the insulating film for the rewiring layer of the wafer-level package. The photosensitive resin composition is required to have excellent resolution. In response to such demands, attempts have been made to improve the resolution by increasing the difference in the dissolution rate of the exposed and unexposed portions in the alkali developer solution, i.e., the so-called dissolution contrast, in the coating film composed of the photosensitive resin composition. For example, in Patent Document 1, a technique for obtaining a high-sensitivity and high-contrast pattern with a photosensitive polyimide resin composition containing a polyimide precursor formed from a carboxylic dianhydride and a diamine having a siloxane structure and a diazonaphthoquinone-based compound has been proposed.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, the composition of Patent Document 1 does not sufficiently satisfy the dissolution contrast required to achieve the resolution required for recent semiconductor devices, and the resolution is not sufficient.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its main object is to provide a photosensitive resin composition having a large dissolution contrast and excellent resolution.

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide dry films, printed wiring boards, and electronic components such as semiconductor devices using the photosensitive resin composition.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0009] The inventors of the present invention have found that by combining a polyimide precursor having a specific structure with a compound having two or more vinyl ether groups, the dissolution contrast can be increased and excellent resolution can be obtained, and thus the present invention has been completed.

[0010] That is, the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is characterized by containing (A) a polyimide precursor having at least one of the structures represented by the following general formulas (1) and (2), (B) a photoacid generator, and (C) a compound having two or more vinyl ether groups. The coating film obtained by applying and drying the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention has improved dissolution resistance to an alkaline developer by the reaction of the carboxyl group of the polyimide precursor of (A) and the vinyl group of the compound having two or more vinyl ether groups of (C) to form an ester bond in the drying step. Then, when the coating film is exposed, an acid is generated from the (B) photoacid generator, and the decomposition of the ester bond is promoted. As a result, it is presumed that a large difference occurs in the dissolution rate of the unexposed portion and the exposed portion in the alkaline developer.

[0094] <Dry film> The dry film of the present invention comprises a film (for example, a support (carrier) film) and a resin layer formed on this film using the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention. The dry film may further include a film (protective film) for further protecting (covering) the resin layer formed on the film.

[0095] [Support (carrier) film] The support (carrier) film is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include films made of thermoplastic resins such as polyester films such as polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate, polyimide films, polyamideimide films, polypropylene films, and polystyrene films. Among them, from the viewpoints of heat resistance, mechanical strength, and handleability, a film made of polyethylene terephthalate is preferable. A laminate of these films can also be used as the support (carrier) film.

[0096] The support (carrier) film is preferably a film stretched in a uniaxial direction or a biaxial direction from the viewpoint of improving mechanical strength.

[0097] The thickness of the support (carrier) film is not particularly limited, and for example, it can be 10 to 150 μm.

[0098] [Protective film] For the purpose of preventing dust from adhering to the surface of the resin layer, it is preferable to laminate a peelable protective film on the surface of the resin layer.

[0099] The peelable protective film is not particularly limited as long as the adhesive force between the resin layer and the protective film is smaller than the adhesive force between the resin layer and the support (carrier) film during peeling.

The coating method is not particularly limited, and comma coater, blade coater, lip coater, rod coater, squeeze coater, reverse coater, transfer roll coater, gravure coater, spray coater, etc. can be used. It is preferable to apply and dry the resin layer so as to have a uniform thickness. The resin layer may be formed by applying and drying a photosensitive resin composition on the protective film.

[0103] [Cured product] The cured product of the present invention is formed using the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention. A pattern may be formed on the cured product. Examples of the method for producing the cured product include the following.

[0104] [First step] The first step is a step of forming a dry coating film of the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention. For example, a dry coating film can be formed by applying the photosensitive composition of the present invention on a substrate to form a coating film and drying it, or by transferring a resin layer from the dry film of the present invention onto the substrate.

[0105] The method for applying the photosensitive resin composition onto the substrate is not particularly limited, and examples include methods of applying using a spin coater, bar coater, blade coater, curtain coater, screen printing machine, etc., a method of spray coating with a spray coater, an inkjet method, etc.

[0106] The drying method of the coating film is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include air drying, heat drying using an oven or a hot plate, vacuum drying, and the like. It is desirable to dry the coating film under conditions such that the ring closure of the polyimide precursor in the photosensitive resin composition does not occur. Examples thereof include natural drying, blow drying, and heat drying under conditions of 70 to 140 °C for 1 to 30 minutes. From the viewpoint of simplicity of the operation method, it is preferable to perform drying for 1 to 20 minutes using a hot plate. Vacuum drying is also possible, and in this case, it can be performed under conditions of room temperature for 20 minutes to 1 hour.

[0107] The transfer of the resin layer of the dry film onto the substrate is preferably performed under pressure and heating using a vacuum laminator or the like. By using a vacuum laminator, in the case of a substrate on which a circuit is formed, even if there are irregularities on the surface of the circuit board, the resin layer of the dry film is filled into the irregularities under vacuum conditions, so that the mixing of air bubbles can be avoided, and the hole filling property of the recesses on the surface of the circuit board can also be improved.

[0108] The substrate is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a printed wiring board in which a circuit is formed in advance with copper or the like, and a flexible printed wiring board. Materials such as paper phenol, paper epoxy, glass cloth epoxy, glass polyimide, glass cloth / non-woven cloth epoxy, glass cloth / paper epoxy, synthetic fiber epoxy, copper-clad laminate for high-frequency circuits using fluororesin, polyethylene, polyphenylene ether, polyphenylene oxide, cyanate, etc. are used, and copper-clad laminates of all grades (such as FR-4), other metal substrates, polyimide films, polyethylene terephthalate films, polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) films, glass substrates, ceramic substrates, wafer plates, etc. can also be used. Quality, and all grades (such as FR-4) of copper-clad laminates, as well as other metal substrates, polyimide films, polyethylene terephthalate films, polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) films, glass substrates, ceramic substrates, wafer plates, etc. can also be used.

[0109] [Second Step] The second step is a step of irradiating the dried coating film formed in the first step with active energy rays for exposure. The exposure may be performed selectively through a photomask having a pattern or non-selectively without passing through the photomask.

[0110] As the active energy rays, those having a wavelength capable of activating a photoacid generator such as a photoacid generator are used, and those having a maximum wavelength in the range of 350 to 410 nm are preferred. The exposure amount can be appropriately adjusted according to the film thickness and the like, and generally it is 10 to 1000 mJ / cm 2 and can be preferably 20 to 800 mJ / cm 2 . As the exposure machine, a device equipped with a high-pressure mercury lamp, an ultra-high-pressure mercury lamp, a metal halide lamp, a mercury short arc lamp, etc., and capable of irradiating ultraviolet rays in the range of 350 to 450 nm can be used. A direct drawing device (for example, a laser direct imaging device that directly draws an image with a laser based on CAD data from a computer) may be used.

[0111] [Step 3] The third step is a step of closing a part of the polyimide precursor in the unexposed portion by heating the coated film after exposure for a short time, and is an optional step that is carried out as necessary. When this step is carried out, it is preferable to make the ring closure rate about 30%. The heating time and the heating temperature can be appropriately changed according to the type of the polyimide precursor, the coating film thickness, and the type of the photoacid generator.

[0112] [Step 4] The fourth step is a step of treating the coated film after exposure, and in some cases, the coated film that has been heated for a short time, with a developer to remove the exposed portion in the coated film to obtain a pattern film. The developing method is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a rotary spray method, a paddle method, and an immersion method accompanied by ultrasonic treatment.

[0113] The developer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include inorganic alkalis such as sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate, and aqueous ammonia, ethylamine, diethylamine, triethyl Examples of the aqueous solution include organic amines such as monoethanolamine and triethanolamine, and quaternary ammonium salts such as tetramethylammonium hydroxide and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide. If necessary, an appropriate amount of a water-soluble organic solvent such as methanol, ethanol, or isopropyl alcohol, or a surfactant may be added.

[0114] After the treatment with the developer, if necessary, the coating film can be washed with a rinse solution to obtain a pattern film. The rinse solution is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include distilled water, methanol, ethanol, and isopropyl alcohol. The rinse solution may be used alone or in any combination of two or more.

[0115] [Step 5] The fifth step is a step of heating the pattern film to obtain a cured coating film (cured product). By heating, the polyimide precursor contained in the photosensitive resin composition undergoes a cyclization reaction to become polyimide.

[0116] From the viewpoint of preventing warping of the cured product, the heating temperature is preferably 150 to 250°C, more preferably 170 to 220°C. For heating, for example, a hot plate, an oven, and a temperature-programmable heating oven can be used. The heating may be carried out in the air or in an inert gas atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon.

[0121] The measurements and evaluations in the examples were carried out as follows. <Number average molecular weight, weight average molecular weight> The number average molecular weight and the weight average molecular weight are values measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and converted with standard polystyrene. [Measurement conditions] GPC measurement: GL7700 (GL Science) Columns used: Tosoh TSKgel(R) α-2500 (φ7.8 mm × 30 cm), α-4000 (φ7.8 mm × 30 cm) Column temperature: 40 °C Eluent conditions: 100 mmol / L H3PO4, 10 mmol / L LiBr, in NMP Eluent flow rate: 0.5 mL / min Calibration standard reagent: Polystyrene standard (Showdex) Sample concentration: 0.1% eluent Detector: UV (wavelengths 260 nm and 300 nm), room temperature

[0122] <Dissolution rate, dissolution contrast> The varnishes prepared in the examples and comparative examples were applied onto a silicon wafer using a spin coater and dried under the conditions of 110°C for 3 minutes to obtain a dry film with a film thickness of approximately 1 μm. The obtained silicon wafer with the dry film was cut into strip-shaped test pieces, and two types of test pieces were prepared: one irradiated with light of wavelength 365 nm at the exposure amount shown in Table 1 using a high-pressure mercury lamp, and the other without light irradiation. Each test piece was subjected to post-exposure baking (PEB) under the conditions shown in Table 1, and then developed with a 2.38% aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH). The dissolution rate of the test piece irradiated with light was defined as the dissolution rate of the exposed part, and the dissolution rate of the test piece without light irradiation was defined as the dissolution rate of the unexposed part. The dissolution rate of the exposed part was determined by the following formula, where the development time was the time from when the test piece was immersed in the developer until the dry film on the test piece was completely dissolved in the developer. The dissolution of the dry film in the developer was visually observed. The dissolution rate of the unexposed part was determined by the following formula, where the film thickness of the dry film on the test piece at the stage 1 hour after immersion in the developer was defined as the film thickness after development. The development time was 1 hour (3600 s). The dissolution contrast was (dissolution rate of the exposed part / dissolution rate of the unexposed part).

Equation

[0123] <Resolution> The silicon wafer with a dry film prepared in the above dissolution rate test was irradiated with light having a wavelength of 365 nm from a high-pressure mercury lamp at the exposure amount shown in Table 1 through a mask with a pattern engraved thereon. After exposure, post-exposure bake (PEB) was performed under the conditions shown in Table 1, and after developing in a 2.38% TMAH aqueous solution for 60 seconds, it was rinsed with water to obtain a pattern of a positive-type cured film. The L / S (line / space) of the pattern engraved on the mask was changed from 1 μm / 1 μm to 30 μm / 30 μm in 1-μm increments for both the line and the space, and the pattern of the obtained positive-type cured film was observed using an electron microscope (SEM, JSM-6010 manufactured by JEOL Ltd.). The minimum L / S at which the exposed portion could be patterned without scum (development residue) was defined as the resolution.

[0124] <Residual film ratio> Regarding the positive-type cured film pattern after development in the above resolution test, the film thickness of the unexposed portion was measured, and the residual film ratio was calculated using the following formula.
