DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] In the present disclosure, the term "process" includes not only a process that is independent of other processes, but also a process that cannot be clearly distinguished from other processes as long as the purpose of the process is achieved. In the present disclosure, numerical ranges indicated using "to" include the numerical values ​​before and after "to" as the minimum and maximum values, respectively. In the numerical ranges described in stages in this disclosure, the upper or lower limit value described in one numerical range may be replaced with the upper or lower limit value of another numerical range described in stages. Furthermore, in the numerical ranges described in this disclosure, the upper or lower limit value of that numerical range may be replaced with a value shown in the examples. In the present disclosure, each component may contain multiple substances corresponding to the component. When multiple substances corresponding to each component are present in the composition, the content or amount of each component means the total content or amount of the multiple substances present in the composition, unless otherwise specified. In the present disclosure, the composition may contain multiple types of particles corresponding to each component. When multiple types of particles corresponding to each component are present in the composition, the particle size of each component means the value for a mixture of the multiple types of particles present in the composition, unless otherwise specified.

[0010] <Sealing resin composition> The encapsulating resin composition of the present disclosure is an encapsulating resin composition for use in wafer-level packaging, and contains an epoxy resin, a curing agent, and an inorganic filler, and the cured product of the encapsulating resin composition has an elastic modulus of 18 GPa or less at a temperature of 25°C. Wafer level packaging (WLP) is a technology for sealing a relatively large area with an encapsulating resin composition, and the encapsulating resin composition of the present disclosure suppresses molding warpage by having a modulus of elasticity of the cured product of 18 GPa or less at a temperature of 25°C.

[0011] In general, the higher the linear expansion coefficient of the cured product of an encapsulating resin composition, the more likely it is that molding warpage will occur. According to the encapsulating resin composition of the present disclosure, even if the linear expansion coefficient of the cured product is relatively high, molding warpage is suppressed because the elastic modulus of the cured product at a temperature of 25°C is 18 GPa or less.

[0012] From the viewpoint of further suppressing molding warpage, the encapsulating resin composition of the present disclosure has a cured product with a modulus of elasticity of more preferably 16 GPa or less, and even more preferably 14 GPa or less at a temperature of 25° C. The encapsulating resin composition of the present disclosure has a cured product with a modulus of elasticity of, for example, 10 GPa or more at a temperature of 25° C.

[0013] In one embodiment of the encapsulating resin composition of the present disclosure, the glass transition temperature of the cured product is in the range of 100°C to 170°C (preferably in the range of 100°C to 160°C), and the linear expansion coefficient of the cured product between a temperature of 25°C and the glass transition temperature is 10 × 10 -6 / K or more. The linear expansion coefficient is, for example, 20×10 -6 / K or less. In one embodiment of the present invention, the linear expansion coefficient of the cured product between the glass transition temperature and a temperature of 175°C is, for example, 30 x 10 -6 / K or more. The linear expansion coefficient is, for example, 75×10 -6 / K or less. In this disclosure, the glass transition temperature is also referred to as Tg, the linear expansion coefficient between a temperature of 25°C and the glass transition temperature is also referred to as "CLE1" (Coefficient of Linear Expansion 1), and the linear expansion coefficient between the glass transition temperature and a temperature of 175°C is also referred to as "CLE2" (Coefficient of Linear Expansion 2).

[0014] Here, methods for measuring the modulus of elasticity, glass transition temperature, and coefficient of linear expansion of the cured product of the encapsulating resin composition will be described.

[0015] -Elastic modulus and Tg- The encapsulating resin composition is molded into a sheet having a thickness of 0.8 mm under the conditions of a mold temperature of 175°C, a molding pressure of 7 MPa, and a curing time of 90 seconds. A 4 mm x 25 mm plate is cut out from the sheet to serve as a test piece. The test specimen is placed in a solid viscoelasticity measuring device (e.g., TA Instruments, Model RSA-G2) and dynamic viscoelasticity measurements are performed in a three-point bending mode. The measurement conditions are: temperature range: 10°C to 40°C, heating rate: 5°C / min, frequency: 10 Hz, strain: 0.2%, and atmosphere: nitrogen flow. The storage modulus E' (Pa) and loss modulus E'' (Pa) are measured, the loss tangent tan δ (=E'' / E') is calculated, and a tan δ-temperature curve is obtained. The storage modulus E' at a temperature of 25°C is defined as the modulus (GPa) of the cured product of the encapsulating resin composition, and the temperature at the peak top of the tan δ-temperature curve is defined as the Tg (°C) of the cured product of the encapsulating resin composition.

[0016] -Linear expansion coefficient- The encapsulating resin composition is molded into a rectangular column having a length of 20 mm and a side length of 4 mm under the conditions of a mold temperature of 175° C., a molding pressure of 7 MPa, and a curing time of 120 seconds, and this is used as a test piece. The test piece is placed in a thermomechanical analyzer (e.g., Rigaku Corporation, Model No. TMA8310L) and subjected to thermomechanical analysis in compression and heating modes. The measurement conditions are: temperature range: 20°C to 180°C, heating rate: 5°C / min, load: 98 mN, and atmosphere: nitrogen gas flow. Length of test piece at 20℃ L 20 (mm) and the length L of the test piece at a temperature of 25°C 25 (mm), and the length L of the test piece at Tg of the cured product of the encapsulating resin composition Tg (mm) and the length L of the test piece at a temperature of 175°C 175 (mm) and measure. The temperature difference between Tg and 25°C is Δt1 = Tg-25 (K), and the length difference between Tg and 25°C is ΔL1 = L Tg -L 25 (mm) and then calculate CLE1 using the following formula 1. The temperature difference between 175°C and Tg is Δt2 = 175-Tg (K), and the length difference between 175°C and Tg is ΔL2 = L 175 -L Tg (mm) and then calculate CLE2 using the following formula 2. (Formula 1)...CLE1( / K)=(1÷L 20 ) × (ΔL1 ÷ Δt1) (Formula 2)...CLE2( / K)=(1÷L 20 ) × (ΔL2 ÷ Δt2)

[0017] The method for controlling the elastic modulus of the cured product at a temperature of 25°C to 18 GPa or less is not particularly limited, and the elastic modulus can be controlled, for example, by adding an amorphous polymer having a Tg of 70°C or less to the encapsulating resin composition, or by increasing or decreasing the content of an inorganic filler in the encapsulating resin composition.

[0018] (Amorphous polymer with Tg of 70°C or less) In the present disclosure, an amorphous polymer refers to a polymer that falls into any one of (a) to (c) in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

The main skeleton of the epoxy-polyether-modified silicone is preferably polydimethylsiloxane. The polyether group is preferably a polyether group formed by polymerizing one or both of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. The epoxy-polyether-modified silicone is preferably a side-chain-modified epoxy-polyether-modified silicone in which a polyether group (preferably a polyether group formed by polymerizing one or both of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide) and an epoxy group are present in the side chain of a silicone (preferably polydimethylsiloxane). Commercially available epoxy-polyether-modified silicones include "SIM768E" manufactured by Momentive Performance Materials, Inc., and "BY16-760," "BY16-870," and "BY16-876" manufactured by Dow-Toray, Inc.

[0022] An example of an embodiment of an amorphous polymer having a Tg of 70° C. or less is polycaprolactone-modified silicone. The polycaprolactone-modified silicone is not particularly limited as long as it is a compound obtained by reacting caprolactone with silicone, which is a polymer compound having a main skeleton formed by siloxane bonds. The polycaprolactone-modified silicone may be a side-chain-modified polycaprolactone-modified silicone, a one-terminal-modified polycaprolactone-modified silicone, or a both-terminal-modified polycaprolactone-modified silicone, with a both-terminal-modified polycaprolactone-modified silicone being preferred. The main skeleton of the polycaprolactone-modified silicone is preferably polydimethylsiloxane. An example of a commercially available polycaprolactone-modified silicone that is a both-terminal-modified polydimethylsiloxane is "DBL-C32" manufactured by Gelest.

[0023] The viscosity of the amorphous polymer having a Tg of 70° C. or less is not particularly limited. From the viewpoint of controlling the elastic modulus of the cured product of the encapsulating resin composition, the viscosity (25° C.) of the amorphous polymer having a Tg of 70° C. or less is preferably 0.5 Pa·s to 300 Pa·s, more preferably 1 Pa·s to 100 Pa·s, and even more preferably 2 Pa·s to 50 Pa·s.

Epoxidized acrylic resins are also suitable as epoxy resins. These epoxy resins may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0027] The epoxy equivalent (molecular weight / number of epoxy groups) of the epoxy resin is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of a balance of various properties such as moldability, reflow resistance, and electrical reliability, it is preferably 100 g / eq to 1000 g / eq, and more preferably 150 g / eq to 500 g / eq. The epoxy equivalent of the epoxy resin is a value measured by a method in accordance with JIS K 7236:2009.

[0028] When the epoxy resin is solid, the softening point or melting point of the epoxy resin is not particularly limited, but is preferably 40°C to 180°C from the viewpoint of moldability and reflow resistance, and more preferably 50°C to 130°C from the viewpoint of handleability during preparation of the encapsulating resin composition. The melting point or softening point of the epoxy resin is a value measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) or a method in accordance with JIS K 7234:1986 (ring and ball method).

[0029] The mass proportion of the epoxy resin in the total amount of the encapsulating resin composition is preferably 0.5 mass % to 50 mass %, and more preferably 2 mass % to 30 mass %, from the viewpoints of strength, fluidity, heat resistance, moldability, etc.

[0030] (hardening agent) The encapsulating resin composition of the present disclosure contains a curing agent. The type of curing accelerator is not particularly limited. The curing agent preferably contains an active ester compound. In the present disclosure, the active ester compound refers to a compound that has one or more ester groups in one molecule that react with epoxy groups and has the ability to cure epoxy resins.

[0031] The amount of transmission loss that occurs when radio waves transmitted for communication are converted into heat in a dielectric is expressed as the product of frequency, the square root of the relative permittivity, and the dielectric loss tangent. In other words, since the transmission signal is more likely to be converted into heat in proportion to the frequency, the higher the frequency band, the lower the dielectric properties required for communication component materials to suppress transmission loss. In the field of information and communications, radio waves are becoming increasingly higher in frequency as the number of channels and the amount of information transmitted increase. Currently, the practical application of fifth-generation mobile communication systems is progressing worldwide, and several frequency bands in the range of approximately 30 GHz to 70 GHz have been identified as candidates for use. Because wireless communications will become mainstream in the future at such high frequencies, communication component materials are required to have even lower dielectric loss tangents.

[0032] Conventionally, phenolic curing agents, amine curing agents, etc. have generally been used as curing agents for epoxy resins, but secondary hydroxyl groups are generated in the reaction between an epoxy resin and a phenolic curing agent or an amine curing agent. In contrast, ester groups are generated instead of secondary hydroxyl groups in the reaction between an epoxy resin and an active ester compound. Because ester groups have lower polarity than secondary hydroxyl groups, encapsulating resin compositions containing active ester compounds as curing agents can reduce the dielectric tangent of the cured product compared to encapsulating resin compositions containing only curing agents that generate secondary hydroxyl groups. Furthermore, while polar groups in the cured product increase the water absorption of the cured product, the use of an active ester compound as a curing agent can reduce the concentration of polar groups in the cured product, thereby suppressing the water absorption of the cured product. Furthermore, by suppressing the water absorption of the cured product, in other words by suppressing the content of HO, a polar molecule, the dielectric tangent of the cured product can be further reduced.

[0033] The type of active ester compound is not particularly limited as long as it has one or more ester groups in the molecule that react with an epoxy group. Examples of the active ester compound include phenol ester compounds, thiophenol ester compounds, N-hydroxyamine ester compounds, and esterified products of heterocyclic hydroxy compounds.

[0034] Examples of active ester compounds include ester compounds obtained from at least one of an aliphatic carboxylic acid and an aromatic carboxylic acid and at least one of an aliphatic hydroxy compound and an aromatic hydroxy compound. Ester compounds using an aliphatic compound as a polycondensation component tend to have excellent compatibility with epoxy resins due to the presence of an aliphatic chain. Ester compounds using an aromatic compound as a polycondensation component tend to have excellent heat resistance due to the presence of an aromatic ring.

[0035] Specific examples of activated ester compounds include aromatic esters obtained by the condensation reaction of an aromatic carboxylic acid with a phenolic hydroxyl group. Among these, aromatic esters obtained by the condensation reaction of an aromatic carboxylic acid with a phenolic hydroxyl group using a mixture of raw materials: an aromatic carboxylic acid component in which 2 to 4 hydrogen atoms on the aromatic ring of benzene, naphthalene, biphenyl, diphenylpropane, diphenylmethane, diphenylether, diphenylsulfonic acid, etc. are substituted with carboxyl groups; a monohydric phenol in which one hydrogen atom on the aromatic ring is substituted with a hydroxyl group; and a polyhydric phenol in which 2 to 4 hydrogen atoms on the aromatic ring are substituted with a hydroxyl group. That is, aromatic esters having structural units derived from the aromatic carboxylic acid component, structural units derived from the monohydric phenol, and structural units derived from the polyhydric phenol are preferred.
