Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a curable resin composition and an electronic component device. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, as electronic devices have become smaller, lighter, and more powerful, the density of packaging has increased. As a result, the mainstream of electronic component devices is shifting from conventional pin insertion type packages to surface mount type packages for ICs (Integrated Circuits), LSIs (Large Scale Integration), etc.

[0003] Surface-mount packages differ from conventional pin-insertion packages in their mounting method. Specifically, when attaching pins to a wiring board, conventional pin-insertion packages require soldering from the backside of the board after the pins are inserted into the board. This prevents the package from being directly exposed to high temperatures. However, with surface-mount packages, the entire electronic device is processed using a solder bath or reflow equipment, exposing the package directly to soldering (reflow) temperatures. As a result, if the package absorbs moisture, the moisture rapidly expands during soldering. The resulting vapor pressure acts as a peel stress, causing peeling between the insert (e.g., chip, lead frame) and the encapsulant, potentially resulting in package cracks and poor electrical characteristics. Therefore, there is a need for encapsulating materials that offer excellent adhesion to the insert and, ultimately, excellent solder heat resistance (reflow resistance).

[0004] To meet the above demands, the use of silane coupling agents as modifiers for inorganic fillers contained in sealing materials has been investigated. Specifically, the use of epoxy group-containing silane coupling agents or amino group-containing silane coupling agents (see, for example, Patent Document 1), the use of sulfur atom-containing silane coupling agents (see, for example, Patent Document 2), etc. has been investigated. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-147939 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-103940 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, methods using epoxy group-containing silane coupling agents or amino group-containing silane coupling agents may not sufficiently improve adhesion to the metal on the surface of the lead frame. Furthermore, when sulfur atom-containing silane coupling agents are used, there is a problem that they do not sufficiently improve adhesion to metals (noble metals such as gold and silver) or substrates with Ag plating on copper lead frames. Furthermore, additives containing sulfur atoms can corrode copper wiring, so a method for improving adhesion without using additives containing sulfur atoms has been sought.

[0007] The present disclosure has been made in consideration of the above-described conventional circumstances, and aims to provide a curable resin composition that has excellent adhesion to metal in a cured state, and an electronic component device that includes an element encapsulated with the curable resin composition.

[0018] <Curable resin composition> The curable resin composition of the present disclosure contains a curable resin and a compound represented by the following general formula (A) (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a specific alkylated melamine).

[0021] The inventors' investigations have revealed that curable resin compositions containing specific alkylated melamines, in a cured state, have excellent adhesion to metals (noble metals such as gold and silver), substrates such as copper lead frames plated with Ag, etc. The reason for this is not clear, but it is presumed that this is because the specific alkylated melamine in the cured product forms a coordinate bond with the metal.

[0022] The curable resin composition containing the specific alkylated melamine has excellent adhesion to metals in a cured state, and therefore when used as an encapsulant for a package including a lead frame whose surface is at least made of metal, peeling between the lead frame and the encapsulant is suppressed, resulting in excellent reflow resistance.

Specific examples of curing accelerators other than phosphonium compounds include diazabicycloalkenes such as 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]nonene-5 (DBN) and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undecene-7 (DBU), cyclic amidine compounds such as 2-methylimidazole, 2-phenylimidazole, 2-phenyl-4-methylimidazole, and 2-heptadecylimidazole; derivatives of the above cyclic amidine compounds; phenol novolac salts of the above cyclic amidine compounds or their derivatives; and combinations of these compounds with maleic anhydride, quinone compounds such as 1,4-benzoquinone, 2,5-toluquinone, 1,4-naphthoquinone, 2,3-dimethylbenzoquinone, 2,6-dimethylbenzoquinone, 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone, 2,3-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone, and phenyl-1,4-benzoquinone. compounds having intramolecular polarization obtained by adding a compound having a π bond, such as a tetraphenylborate salt of DBU, a tetraphenylborate salt of DBN, a tetraphenylborate salt of 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole, or a tetraphenylborate salt of N-methylmorpholine; tertiary amine compounds such as pyridine, triethylamine, triethylenediamine, benzyldimethylamine, triethanolamine, dimethylaminoethanol, and tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol; derivatives of the above-mentioned tertiary amine compounds; and ammonium salt compounds such as tetra-n-butylammonium acetate, tetra-n-butylammonium phosphate, tetraethylammonium acetate, tetra-n-hexylammonium benzoate, and tetrapropylammonium hydroxide.

[0136] When the curable resin composition contains a specific curing accelerator as a curing accelerator, the content of the specific curing accelerator is preferably 30% by mass or more, more preferably 50% by mass or more, and even more preferably 70% by mass or more of the total curing accelerator.

[0137] When the curable resin composition contains a curing accelerator, the amount thereof is preferably 0.1 to 30 parts by mass, more preferably 1 to 15 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the resin components. When the amount of the curing accelerator is 0.1 part by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of the resin components, the composition tends to cure well in a short time. When the amount of the curing accelerator is 30 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the resin components, the curing speed is not too fast, and a good molded product tends to be obtained.

[0138] (Inorganic filler) The curable resin composition may contain an inorganic filler. In particular, when the curable resin composition is used as an encapsulant for a semiconductor package, it is preferable that the curable resin composition contains an inorganic filler.

[0139] The type of inorganic filler is not particularly limited. Specific examples include inorganic materials such as silica (e.g., spherical silica, crystalline silica), glass, alumina, calcium carbonate, zirconium silicate, calcium silicate, silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, boron nitride, beryllia, zirconia, zircon, fosterite, steatite, spinel, mullite, titania, talc, clay, and mica. Inorganic fillers with flame retardant properties may also be used. Examples of inorganic fillers with flame retardant properties include aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, composite metal hydroxides (e.g., magnesium-zinc composite hydroxide), and zinc borate. Among these, spherical silica is preferred from the viewpoint of reducing the linear expansion coefficient, and alumina is preferred from the viewpoint of high thermal conductivity. One type of inorganic filler may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination. The inorganic filler may be in the form of powder, beads formed by spheroidizing powder, or fibers.

[0140] When the curable resin composition contains an inorganic filler, its content is not particularly limited. From the viewpoint of fluidity and strength, the content is preferably 30 to 90% by volume, more preferably 35 to 80% by volume, and even more preferably 40 to 70% by volume of the entire curable resin composition. When the content of the inorganic filler is 30% by volume or more of the entire curable resin composition, the properties of the cured product, such as the thermal expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity, and elastic modulus, tend to be further improved. When the content of the inorganic filler is 90% by volume or less of the entire curable resin composition, an increase in the viscosity of the curable resin composition is suppressed, and the fluidity is further improved, tending to result in better moldability.

[0141] The average particle size of the inorganic filler is not particularly limited, but for example, the volume average particle size is preferably 0.2 μm to 50 μm, and more preferably 0.5 μm to 30 μm. When the volume average particle diameter is 0.2 μm or more, an increase in viscosity of the curable resin composition tends to be further suppressed. When the volume average particle diameter is 50 μm or less, the filling ability into narrow gaps tends to be further improved. The volume average particle diameter of the inorganic filler can be measured as the volume average particle diameter (D50) using a laser diffraction scattering particle size distribution analyzer.

[0142] The volume-average particle size of the inorganic filler in the curable resin composition or its cured product can be measured by known methods. For example, the inorganic filler is extracted from the curable resin composition or cured product using an organic solvent, nitric acid, aqua regia, or the like, and then thoroughly dispersed using an ultrasonic disperser or the like to prepare a dispersion. Using this dispersion, the volume-average particle size of the inorganic filler can be measured from the volume-based particle size distribution measured using a laser diffraction / scattering particle size distribution analyzer. Alternatively, the cured product can be embedded in a transparent epoxy resin or the like, polished, and the resulting cross-section observed using a scanning electron microscope to obtain the volume-based particle size distribution. Furthermore, the volume-average particle size of the inorganic filler can also be measured by continuously observing two-dimensional cross-sections of the cured product using an FIB (focused ion beam SEM) device or the like and performing three-dimensional structural analysis.

[0143] From the viewpoint of the flowability of the curable resin composition, the particle shape of the inorganic filler is preferably spherical rather than angular, and the particle size distribution of the inorganic filler is preferably wide.

When the amount of the coupling agent is 0.05 parts by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of the inorganic filler, adhesion to the frame tends to be further improved. When the amount of the coupling agent is 5 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the inorganic filler, moldability of the package tends to be further improved.

[0147] (ion exchanger) The curable resin composition may contain an ion exchanger. In particular, when the curable resin composition is used as a molding material for encapsulation, it is preferable to contain an ion exchanger from the viewpoint of improving the moisture resistance and high-temperature storage characteristics of an electronic component device provided with an element to be encapsulated. The ion exchanger is not particularly limited, and conventionally known ones can be used.

[0151] When the curable resin composition contains a release agent, the amount thereof is preferably 0.01 to 15 parts by mass, more preferably 0.1 to 10 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the resin component. When the amount of the release agent is 0.01 part by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of the resin component, sufficient release properties tend to be obtained. When the amount is 15 parts by mass or less, better adhesion tends to be obtained.

[0155] (stress reliever) The curable resin composition may contain a stress relief agent such as silicone oil or silicone rubber particles. The inclusion of a stress relief agent can further reduce package warpage and package cracking. Examples of stress relief agents include commonly used known stress relief agents (flexibilizers). Specific examples include thermoplastic elastomers such as silicone, styrene, olefin, urethane, polyester, polyether, polyamide, and polybutadiene elastomers; rubber particles such as NR (natural rubber), NBR (acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber), acrylic rubber, urethane rubber, and silicone powder; methyl methacrylate-styrene-butadiene copolymer (MBS), methyl methacrylate-silicone copolymer, methyl methacrylate-butyl acrylate copolymer; and copolymers of indenes (e.g., indene and alkylindene) with styrenes (e.g., alkylstyrene) and phenols, containing aromatic olefins such as coumarone as another constituent monomer.
