Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a film for electronic devices and a printed circuit board. [Background technology]

[0002] Printed circuit boards are widely used for applications such as high-frequency devices. A printed circuit board typically has a flat plate-like structure in which an insulating substrate material, copper foil, and a covering material are laminated, and the substrate material and covering material are mainly composed of a resin material. When such a printed circuit board is mounted in an electronic device, various elements are connected to the wiring (copper foil) provided on the printed circuit board by a method such as soldering.

[0003] When soldering is performed during the mounting stage as described above, the printed circuit board is temporarily exposed to high temperatures (e.g., 250°C). Therefore, the resin material used for the printed circuit board is required to have a certain level of heat resistance. Furthermore, when the printed circuit board is used in a high-frequency device, the communication performance of the device is determined by the electrical properties of the resin materials used as the board material and the covering material. Specifically, the lower the dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent of the resin material, the more likely it is that the communication performance will improve. Liquid crystal polymers, for example, are used as materials that can satisfy these heat resistance and electrical properties (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-65061 [Patent Document 2] International Publication No. 2020 / 179443 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, as demand for high-speed communications increases, the electrical properties of liquid crystal polymers have not always met the performance requirements for printed circuit boards used in high-frequency devices.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need to develop a film for electronic devices that has a lower dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent than conventional materials and is excellent in heat resistance. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The printed circuit board according to the present invention is characterized by including the above-mentioned film for electronic devices.

[0009] The compound represented by formula (1) exhibits a low dielectric constant and a low dielectric loss tangent derived from the polynorbornene skeleton. Furthermore, the wide-angle X-ray scattering profile indicates that the polynorbornene skeleton is more densely packed than conventional polynorbornenes, which allows the compound represented by formula (1) to exhibit higher heat resistance than conventional materials containing polynorbornene. These properties of the compound represented by formula (1) enable the realization of films for electronic devices that have lower dielectric constants and dielectric loss tangents than conventional materials and excellent heat resistance, as well as printed circuit boards including such films.

[0010] The compound represented by formula (1) has a linear expansion coefficient equivalent to that of conventionally known polynorbornenes and a lower Young's modulus than conventionally known polynorbornenes.

[0041] [Figure 1] This is the first example of a wide-angle X-ray scattering profile of a film for electronic devices. [Figure 2] This is a second example of a wide-angle X-ray scattering profile of a film for electronic devices. [Figure 3] FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the structure of a printed circuit board. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0042] First Embodiment A first embodiment of a film for electronic devices according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0043] (Structure of the compound represented by formula (1)) The film for electronic devices according to this embodiment contains a compound represented by formula (1). [ka]

[0044] In formula (1), R 1 and R 2are independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom and a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, or together form an alkylidene group, and R 3 and R 4 are each independently selected from the group consisting of a hydrogen atom and a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, or together form an alkylidene group. Therefore, the compound represented by formula (1) is a homopolymer or copolymer having a polynorbornene skeleton. Note that terminal functional groups derived from the polymerization initiator are present at both ends of the polynorbornene skeleton, but are omitted in formula (1).

[0045] The compound represented by formula (1) is 1 , R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 and n are each a hydrogen atom. This monomer unit is an unsubstituted norbornene unit.

[0046] The compound represented by formula (1) is R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 are all hydrogen atoms, and R 1 is any one selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, and a cycloalkyl group, and 3 and R 4 are all hydrogen atoms, and R 1 and R 2 and a monomer unit which together form an alkylidene group. These monomer units are, in other words, substituted norbornene units. The alkyl group, alkenyl group, cycloalkyl group, and alkylidene group preferably have 20 or less carbon atoms.

[0047] The alkyl group is not particularly limited and may be a methyl group, ethyl group, propyl group, butyl group, pentyl group, hexyl group, or an alkyl group with a longer chain length. However, the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group is preferably 4 or more, more preferably 6 or more. The number of carbon atoms in the alkyl group is preferably 20 or less, more preferably 10 or less, and even more preferably 8 or less.

[0048] The alkenyl group is not particularly limited and may be an allyl group, a vinyl group, an ethynyl group, a propenyl group, a butenyl group, or an alkenyl group with a longer chain length. In an alkenyl group having 3 or more carbon atoms, the position and number of double bonds are not limited. However, the number of carbon atoms in the alkenyl group is preferably 2 or more, and more preferably 6 or more.

However, the number of carbon atoms in the cycloalkyl group is preferably 4 or more, more preferably 6 or more. The number of carbon atoms in the cycloalkyl group is preferably 20 or less, more preferably 10 or less, and even more preferably 8 or less.

[0050] The alkylidene group is not particularly limited and may be an ethylidene group, a propylidene group, a butylidene group, or an alkylidene group with a longer chain length.

The number of carbon atoms in the alkylidene group is preferably 20 or less, more preferably 10 or less, and even more preferably 8 or less.

[0051] The compound represented by formula (1) can be, for example, a copolymer represented by the following formula (2). The copolymer represented by formula (2) contains two types of monomer units. The first monomer unit is the unsubstituted norbornene unit described above, and the second monomer unit is the substituted norbornene unit described above. The copolymer represented by formula (2) contains the first monomer unit and the second monomer unit in a molar ratio of n:m. [ka]

[0052] When the compound represented by formula (1) is a copolymer represented by formula (2), the ratio of the first monomer unit (unsubstituted norbornene unit) to the second monomer unit (substituted norbornene unit) is not particularly limited, and therefore the combination of n and m in formula (2) is arbitrary. The combination of n and m is preferably such that m / (n+m) is 0.05 or more (substituted norbornene unit is 5 mol% or more), more preferably 0.1 or more.

When the compound represented by formula (1) has a glass transition temperature of 260°C or higher, it is easy to achieve the level of heat resistance required for electronic device applications. For example, when the film for electronic devices according to this embodiment is used on an electronic substrate, it is required to have heat resistance sufficient to withstand soldering performed on the substrate.

When the linear expansion coefficient of the compound represented by formula (1) is 100 ppm or less, the linear expansion coefficient of the electronic device film approaches that of copper foil, making the film suitable for use in applications where it is laminated with copper foil (e.g., as a substrate material or coating material for printed circuit boards). The linear expansion coefficient of the compound represented by formula (1) is more preferably 40 ppm or less. The lower limit of the linear expansion coefficient is not particularly limited, but may be 10 ppm or more.

[0055] In the electronic device film according to this embodiment, the compound represented by formula (1) preferably has a dielectric constant of 3.0 or less, as measured at a frequency of 10 GHz according to JIS C 2565-1992. When the compound represented by formula (1) has a dielectric constant of 3.0 or less, high-frequency devices using the electronic device film according to this embodiment can transmit signals at high speed, making the film particularly suitable for use in electronic devices for high-speed communication. The compound represented by formula (1) more preferably has a dielectric constant of 2.5 or less.

[0056] In the electronic device film according to this embodiment, the compound represented by formula (1) preferably has a dielectric loss tangent of 0.003 or less, as measured at a frequency of 10 GHz according to JIS C 2565-1992. When the compound represented by formula (1) has a dielectric loss tangent of 0.003 or less, signal loss is suppressed in high-frequency devices using the electronic device film according to this embodiment, making it particularly suitable for use in electronic devices for high-speed communication. More preferably, the compound represented by formula (1) has a dielectric loss tangent of 0.002 or less.

[0057] [Other components constituting films for electronic devices] The film for electronic devices according to this embodiment may contain components other than the compound represented by formula (1).

[0060] (Physical properties of films for electronic devices) For the electronic device film according to this embodiment, a wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) profile was measured using a test device "BL03XU Beamline X-ray Scattering Measurement System" installed at SPring8 (Japan Synchrotron Radiation Research Institute, a public interest incorporated foundation). The detector was "Pilatus 1M," the camera distance was 0.3 m, the X-ray irradiation time was 5 seconds, and the number of accumulations was 1.

Regarding the measured wide-angle X-ray scattering profile, the scattering vector q was 2 nm. -1 8nm or more -1 The first region below, and 10 nm -1 More than 20nm -1 The scattering pattern was evaluated in the range of the second region below. The scattering vector q is given by the following equation (3): where λ is the wavelength of the X-ray used in the measurement, and 2θ is the scattering angle.

number

[0061] The scattering vector q of the film for electronic devices according to this embodiment has at least one peak in the range of the first region. Preferably, the scattering vector q of the film for electronic devices according to this embodiment has at least one peak in each of the ranges of the first region and the second region. Preferably, the scattering vector q of the film for electronic devices according to this embodiment has at least two peaks in the range of the first region.

[0062] The peaks in the first region are derived from the crystalline portion of the compound represented by formula (1). Therefore, the positions, intensities, and number of peaks appearing in the first region vary depending on the crystalline structure of the compound represented by formula (1). Such a crystalline structure is determined by the substituent R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 When the compound represented by formula (1) is a copolymer, the molar ratio of each monomer unit (for example, the ratio m / (n+m) in the copolymer represented by formula (2)) and the method for producing the compound represented by formula (1) can be influenced by such factors as the type of compound represented by formula (1), the molar ratio of each monomer unit when the compound represented by formula (1) is a copolymer (for example, the ratio m / (n+m) in the copolymer represented by formula (2)), and the method for producing the compound represented by formula

[0063] The peak in the second region is derived from the non-crystalline portion (amorphous component) of the compound represented by formula (1).

[0064] 1 and 2 are examples of wide-angle X-ray scattering profiles of the film for electronic devices according to this embodiment. Fig. 1 shows an example having two peaks in the first region, where the scattering vector q is near 3.5 and 7.0 (first region) and near 13.5 (second region). Fig. 2 shows an example having one peak in the first region, where the scattering vector q is near 7.0 (first region) and near 13.5 (second region).

[0065] The film for electronic devices according to this embodiment preferably has a linear expansion coefficient of 40 ppm or less, as determined by the slope of the temperature gradient from 50 to 100°C, in thermomechanical analysis under conditions of a tensile load of 10 mN, a temperature range of 25 to 250°C, and a heating rate of 5°C / min. When the linear expansion coefficient of the film for electronic devices is 30 ppm or less, the film can be suitably used in applications where it is laminated with copper foil (e.g., as a substrate material or coating material for printed circuit boards). The linear expansion coefficient of the film for electronic devices is more preferably 25 ppm or less. The lower limit of the linear expansion coefficient is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, 10 ppm or more. Thermomechanical analysis can be performed using, for example, a TMA7100 (manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science Corporation).

[0066] The film for electronic devices according to this embodiment preferably has a dielectric constant of 3.0 or less, measured at a frequency of 10 GHz according to JIS C 2565-1992. When the film for electronic devices has a dielectric constant of 3.0 or less, it is particularly suitable for use in electronic devices for high-speed communication. The film for electronic devices more preferably has a dielectric constant of 2.5 or less. The compound represented by formula (1) has a lower dielectric constant than substances conventionally used in this field, and therefore can easily achieve a dielectric constant suitable for use in a film for electronic devices.

[0067] The film for electronic devices according to this embodiment preferably has a dielectric loss tangent of 0.003 or less, measured at a frequency of 10 GHz according to JIS C 2565-1992. When the film for electronic devices has a dielectric loss tangent of 0.003 or less, it is particularly suitable for use in electronic devices for high-speed communication. The film for electronic devices more preferably has a dielectric loss tangent of 0.002 or less. The compound represented by formula (1) has a lower dielectric loss tangent than substances conventionally used in this field, and therefore can easily achieve a dielectric loss tangent suitable for use in a film for electronic devices.

[0068] The film for electronic devices according to this embodiment preferably has a Young's modulus of 0.5 GPa or more as measured according to JIS K 7127:1999. When the Young's modulus of the film for electronic devices is 0.5 GPa or more, the film for electronic devices has high flex resistance, making it particularly suitable for use in printed circuit boards. The Young's modulus of the film for electronic devices is more preferably 1.0 GPa or more. The upper limit of the Young's modulus of the film for electronic devices is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 10 GPa or less.

The upper limit of the breaking elongation of the film for electronic devices is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 50% or less.

[0070] (Method for manufacturing films for electronic devices) As a method for producing the film for electronic devices according to this embodiment, a known film production method can be applied.

[0071] As a first example, the film for electronic devices according to this embodiment can be produced by cast molding. In this case, a mixed solution is prepared by mixing the compound represented by formula (1) and other materials (for example, a filler having a dielectric constant of 10 or less) in a solvent, and the mixed solution is applied to a substrate, followed by drying the coated surface, thereby obtaining the film for electronic devices according to this embodiment. Examples of solvents that can be used in this production method include toluene and decane.

[0072] The dielectric constant of the other material used here is determined by a known method for measuring the dielectric constant of the material. For example, when the other material is an electrically insulating ceramic material (silica, titania, zirconia, etc.), the dielectric constant of the material can be determined in accordance with JIS C 2141-1992.

[0073] As a second example, the film for electronic devices according to this embodiment can be produced by extrusion molding. In this case, the compound represented by formula (1) is molded into a film using a known extruder, thereby obtaining the film for electronic devices according to this embodiment. In this case, the compound represented by formula (1) needs to be heated to a temperature above its melting point, and the heating temperature can be, for example, 280 to 350°C. Note that materials such as fillers can be added to the compound represented by formula (1) in a molten state in the extruder.

[0074] (Applications of film for electronic devices) The film for electronic devices according to this embodiment can be used, for example, in a printed circuit board 1 including the film for electronic devices. Fig. 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating the structure of the printed circuit board 1. The printed circuit board 1 has a substrate material 2, copper foil 3, and a covering material 4, and the substrate material 2 and the covering material 4 are made of the film for electronic devices according to this embodiment.

[0075] When manufacturing the printed circuit board 1, the substrate material 2 (film for electronic devices), copper foil 3, and covering material 4 (film for electronic devices) are stacked in this order and then hot-pressed, thereby thermally fusing the film for electronic devices (substrate material 2 and covering material 4) and the copper foil 3 together.

[0076] An adhesive layer may be interposed between the film for electronic devices (substrate material 2 and covering material 4) and the copper foil 3. Epoxy resin, polyimide resin, modified polyimide resin, etc. may be used as the adhesive layer. When an adhesive layer is provided, it is permissible to make the conditions of the process for bonding the film for electronic devices and the copper foil 3 milder, for example by lowering the heat press temperature.

[0077] Alternatively, only one of the substrate material 2 and the covering material 4 may be formed of the film for electronic devices according to this embodiment. In this case, the other of the substrate material 2 and the covering material 4 may be formed of a conventional material known as a material for printed circuit boards.

[0078] Second Embodiment Next, a second embodiment of the film for electronic devices according to the present invention will be described, with the same features as those of the first embodiment being simplified or omitted.

[0079] The film for electronic devices according to this embodiment contains a compound represented by formula (1), which is the same as the first embodiment. [ka]
