Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a composition for forming a polyimide-containing portion, a method for manufacturing a bonded body, a bonded body, a method for manufacturing a device, and a device. [Background technology]
[0002] Electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet terminals are becoming increasingly smaller, while their functions are becoming more diverse. To meet these needs, the electronic circuits incorporated into these devices require further miniaturization, high integration, and high-density mounting. Packaging technologies such as SIP (System in Package), MCM (Multi-Chip Module), and POP (Package on Package) are attracting attention as technologies that achieve miniaturization while maintaining multi-functionality, high performance, and reliability. These technologies are expected to reduce the cost of electronic devices because they reduce the number of components and simplify the semiconductor manufacturing process.
[0003] However, because SIPs connect chips using wire bonding, it is difficult to achieve processing speeds equivalent to conventional SOCs (System on Chip). Furthermore, wire bonding cumbersome manufacturing processes, and improvements in product cost and quality were desired. To address these challenges, COC (Chip on Chip) mounting technology was developed. COCs connect chips using flip-chip connections, shortening the transmission distance and enabling high-speed performance equivalent to SOCs. Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of a typical COC. In this example, the COC comprises a daughter chip (first substrate) 1 and a mother chip (second substrate) 2. Electronic circuits (not shown) and flip-chip electrodes (not shown) are formed on the mother chip 2, and the daughter chip 1 is supported and connected via solder electrodes (bumps) 93. The area around the solder electrodes 93 is filled with underfill 94 to ensure insulation. The mother chip 2 is mounted on a base substrate 98 by bonding film 91, maintaining insulation. The electrical connection is made via wire bonding pads 97b, wire bonding 96, and substrate electrodes 97a. This COC structure is sealed with sealing resin 95 to form a semiconductor device 90. Solder balls 99 are provided on this semiconductor device 90, and it is incorporated into electronic equipment via these. Furthermore, techniques and materials for three-dimensional packaging using TSV (Through Silicon Via) are being investigated as a further application of this flip-chip packaging technology (Non-Patent Literature 1).

[0005] In a COC structure element with the structure shown in Figure 1 above, the daughter chip 1 and the mother chip 2 are connected and fixed with solder bumps 93, and then underfill 94 is embedded in the gap between them. Therefore, a fluid resin is used as the material that makes up the underfill, and it is filled between the solder bumps and then hardened and molded. Here, the daughter chip 1 and mother chip 2 are bonded together by the adhesive force of the resin, but from the viewpoint of improving adhesion, it is required to improve the maximum peel resistance between these two substrates.

[0011] (Composition for forming polyimide-containing parts) The polyimide-containing portion forming composition of the present invention is used in a method for manufacturing a bonded body, which includes the steps of: preparing a substrate A having a surface with wiring terminals; forming a polyimide-containing portion on the surface of the substrate A having the wiring terminals; preparing a substrate B having a surface with wiring terminals; and joining the surface of the substrate A having the polyimide-containing portion and the surface of the substrate B having the wiring terminals, wherein the polyimide-containing portion is a member formed from the polyimide-containing portion forming composition, and the glass transition temperature of the polyimide-containing portion is lower than the joining temperature in the joining step.
[0012] By using the polyimide-containing portion forming composition of the present invention (hereinafter also simply referred to as "resin composition"), it becomes possible to manufacture a bonded body with a high maximum peel resistance between two substrates when joining two substrates, such as wafer to wafer or wafer to chip, via a polyimide-containing portion. Specifically, by adopting a configuration in which the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polyimide-containing portion is lower than the bonding temperature, sufficient fluidity of the polyimide-containing portion can be ensured during bonding, thereby increasing the maximum peel resistance during bonding. In this invention, the bonding temperature is the temperature of the polyimide-containing portion at the time of bonding, and can be, for example, the set temperature of the equipment used for bonding.
[0013] Furthermore, by using a higher temperature during bonding, the bonding time can be shortened, thereby reducing the cycle time of the bonding process. When joining two substrates as described above, if the alignment accuracy during joining is low, misalignment may occur between metal parts such as electrodes on each substrate, resulting in exposed wiring sections. In such cases, the polyimide-containing sections between the wiring sections require high voltage resistance. Here, for example, if a migration inhibitor is included in the composition for forming the polyimide-containing portion, it is possible to suppress the migration of metal from the metal portion to the polyimide-containing portion, thereby improving the dielectric strength. The resin composition of the present invention will be described in detail below.
[0014] <Preparation of substrate A> A method for manufacturing a bonded body using the polyimide-containing composition of the present invention includes the step of preparing a substrate A having a surface equipped with wiring terminals. In the preparation process, substrate A may be manufactured by known methods (for example, plating on a substrate such as a silicon substrate) or obtained by means of purchase or other means.
[0015] [Substrate A] Substrate A has a side with wiring terminals. Hereafter, the wiring terminals on circuit board A will also be referred to as wiring terminal A.
[0016] The substrate A may be a wafer or a chip, but being a wafer is also one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention. In this invention, a wafer refers to a substrate containing a semiconductor, and is a concept that includes panels formed from multiple semiconductor elements. In the present invention, a chip refers to a semiconductor-containing individual piece formed by dicing or the like, and may be a single-sided chip or a double-sided chip.
[0017] The shape of substrate A is not particularly limited, but examples include a polygonal flat plate, a disc, or a polyhedron. The thickness of substrate A is preferably 0.1 to 5 mm, and more preferably 0.2 to 1 mm. The wiring terminal A on substrate A is preferably a pillar electrode. Furthermore, the above-mentioned wiring terminal A preferably contains a metal, more preferably at least one metal selected from the group consisting of tin (Sn), gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), tungsten (W), palladium (Pd), platinum (Pt), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), ruthenium (Ru), iridium (Ir), rhodium (Rh), lead (Pb), bismuth (Bi), and indium (In), and more preferably at least one metal selected from the group consisting of copper, tin, and nickel. In this specification, the term "containing metal X" is used to collectively refer to the presence of at least one of metal X or an alloy containing that metal. Note that the alloy may contain elements other than those exemplified above. For example, a copper alloy may contain silicon atoms to form a Colson alloy. In addition, oxygen which is inevitably dissolved, and organic residues of the raw material compounds which are mixed in during precipitation, may be present. The above-mentioned wiring terminal A may be a wiring terminal comprising multiple different components. For example, the substrate may have a portion (hereinafter also referred to as "electrode") made of a metal such as copper, silver, gold, or an alloy containing one or more of these, which is used as an electrode, and a portion (hereinafter also referred to as "conducting passage") made of a metal such as nickel, tin, lead, or an alloy containing one or more of these, which is used as solder, which is formed on the copper electrode, and the electrode and the conducting passage may be in series to form one wiring terminal A. Among these, it is preferable that the wiring terminal A comprises at least a copper-containing member and a tin-containing member. An example of a substrate A having a surface equipped with such a wiring terminal A is the substrate b) used in the embodiment of the present invention. In substrate b), a tin-based conductive passage is formed on an electrode made of copper.
[0018] Furthermore, the materials used for the electrodes are not particularly limited, but examples include tin, gold, silver, copper, aluminum, tungsten, palladium, platinum, cobalt, nickel, zinc, ruthenium, iridium, rhodium, or alloys thereof. Among these, metals containing copper, metals containing aluminum, metals containing tungsten, metals containing nickel, or metals containing gold are preferred as electrodes, metals containing copper are more preferred, and copper is even more preferred. It is preferable to use a metal that does not melt during the bonding process as the metal used for the electrodes. The melting point of the metal used for the electrodes is preferably 500°C or higher, more preferably 700°C or higher, and even more preferably 800°C or higher. There is no particular upper limit, but for example, it is preferable to have a melting point of 3000°C or lower. The materials used for the conduit are not particularly limited, but include tin, lead, silver, copper, zinc, bismuth, or indium, or alloys thereof. In particular, in this invention, solder made of tin or tin alloy (metal containing tin) is preferred. Recently, lead-free soldering technology has also advanced, and it is also preferable to select such materials. The metal used for the conduit is preferably a metal that melts during the joining process. The melting point of the metal used for the conduit is preferably 400°C or lower, more preferably 300°C or lower, and even more preferably 250°C or lower. The lower limit of the melting point is not particularly limited if the metal is solid at room temperature, but it is preferably, for example, 150°C or higher. Furthermore, it is preferable that multiple wiring terminals A are formed on the substrate A.
[0019] The material used for substrate A is not particularly limited and can include semiconductor fabrication substrates such as silicon, silicon nitride, polysilicon, silicon oxide, and amorphous silicon, as well as quartz, glass, optical films, ceramic materials, vapor-deposited films, magnetic films, reflective films, metal substrates such as Ni, Cu, Cr, and Fe, paper, SOG (Spin On Glass), TFT (thin-film transistor) array substrates, and electrode plates for plasma display panels (PDPs). The substrate may have layers such as an adhesion layer or oxide layer made of hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) on its surface. In this invention, semiconductor fabrication substrates are particularly preferred, and silicon substrates (silicon wafers) are more preferred. Substrate A may have an electronic circuit region including an electronic circuit. The electronic circuit may also have elements such as semiconductors. Furthermore, it is preferable that the electronic circuit is electrically connected to the wiring terminal A. When substrate A is a wafer, its size can be 100 mm or more in diameter (or maximum diameter if substrate A is not circular). For larger substrates, it is preferable that the size be 200 mm or more, and more preferably 250 mm or more. There is no particular upper limit, but it is preferable that the size be 2,000 mm or less. When substrate A is a chip, the size is preferably such that the diameter (or maximum diameter if substrate A is not circular) is 7 mm or more, more preferably 10 mm or more, and even more preferably 20 mm or more. As an upper limit, for example, it is preferably 50 mm or less, more preferably 40 mm or less, and even more preferably 30 mm or less.
[0020] <Polyimide-containing part formation process> A method for manufacturing a bonded body using the polyimide-containing composition of the present invention includes a polyimide-containing portion forming step in which a polyimide-containing portion is formed on the surface of the substrate A that has the wiring terminal (wiring terminal A). The polyimide-containing portion is preferably formed to be in contact with the wiring terminal A, and more preferably formed to fill the recess between the wiring terminals A. Furthermore, while the polyimide-containing portion only needs to be formed on at least a part of the wiring terminal A, for example, forming it on all of the wiring terminal A is also one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention. The above polyimide-containing portion formation step preferably includes applying the polyimide-containing portion formation composition to the surface of substrate A equipped with the wiring terminals and heating it. Details of the application and heating will be described later.
[0021] [Polyimide-containing portion] The polyimide-containing portion is a component formed from the polyimide-containing portion forming composition, and it is preferable that the component is obtained by at least heating the polyimide-containing portion forming composition.
[0022] The polyimide-containing portion is a component containing polyimide, and may further contain components other than polyimide. Other components besides polyimide include components other than polyimide and its precursors contained in the resin composition described later, and components that have been modified (decomposed, polymerized, structurally changed, etc.) by heating.
[0023] The glass transition temperature of the polyimide-containing portion should be lower than the bonding temperature in the bonding process, but it is preferably 350°C or lower, more preferably 320°C or lower, and even more preferably 300°C or lower. The lower limit of the glass transition temperature is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of heat resistance, it is preferably 200°C or higher. From the viewpoint of increasing the maximum peel resistance, the glass transition temperature of the polyimide-containing portion is preferably 30°C or more lower than the bonding temperature in the bonding process, more preferably 50°C or more lower, and even more preferably 70°C or more lower. Furthermore, it is preferable that the glass transition temperature of the polyimide-containing portion is 30°C or more higher than the bonding temperature in the bonding process.
[0024] The thickness of the polyimide-containing part is not particularly limited, but from the perspective of exerting the effects of its physical properties, it is preferably 100 nm or more, more preferably 300 nm or more, still more preferably 500 nm or more, even more preferably 1 μm or more, and even more preferably 2 μm or more in terms of the thickness immediately before the bonding step (when the planarization step described later is performed, the thickness in the state immediately before the planarization step). There is no particular upper limit, but it is preferably 1 mm or less, more preferably 500 μm or less, and still more preferably 200 μm or less. The film thickness can be measured using a known film thickness measuring device.
[0025] The thermal diffusivity of the polyimide-containing part in the bonded body described later is preferably 2.0×10 -7 m 2 s -1 or more, and more preferably 3.0×10 -7 m 2 s -1 or more, and still more preferably 5.0×10 -7 m 2 s -1 or more. The thermal diffusivity of the polyimide-containing part can be adjusted by design, for example, when the polyimide-containing part contains a filler, the type of filler material, the particle size of the filler (when two or more kinds of fillers are included, the combination of their particle sizes), the thermal diffusivity of the filler, the filler content, the structure of the polyimide, the thermal diffusivity of the polyimide, the polyimide content, etc.
[0026] The polyimide-containing part is preferably an insulating member. The insulation property (electrical resistance) of the polyimide-containing part is not particularly limited, but the volume resistivity is preferably 1×10 15 Ω·cm or more, and more preferably 1×10 16 Ω·cm or more. There is no particular upper limit, but it is preferably 1×10 19It is practical for the volume resistivity to be Ω·cm or less. The dielectric breakdown voltage is preferably 1kV / mm or more, and more preferably 10kV / mm or more. There is no particular upper limit, but it is practical for it to be 1000kV / mm or less. In this specification, the measurement of volume resistivity and dielectric breakdown voltage shall be in accordance with JIS C2151:2006 and JIS C2318:2007.
[0027] [Applicable process] The polyimide-containing portion formation step preferably includes an application step of the polyimide-containing portion formation composition (resin composition) of the present invention onto the surface of the substrate A having the wiring terminals A.
[0028] Examples of methods for applying the resin composition onto substrate A include dip coating, air knife coating, curtain coating, wire bar coating, gravure coating, extrusion coating, spray coating, spin coating, slit coating, and inkjet coating. From the viewpoint of uniformity of film thickness, spin coating, slit coating, spray coating, or inkjet coating are more preferred, and from the viewpoint of uniformity of film thickness and productivity, spin coating and slit coating are preferred. By adjusting the solid content concentration of the resin composition and the coating conditions according to the method, a film of the desired thickness can be obtained. Furthermore, the coating method can be appropriately selected depending on the shape of the substrate; for circular substrates such as wafers, spin coating, spray coating, and inkjet coating are preferred, while for rectangular substrates, slit coating, spray coating, and inkjet coating are preferred. In the case of spin coating, for example, it can be applied for about 10 seconds to 3 minutes at a rotation speed of 500 to 3,500 rpm. Alternatively, a method can be applied in which a coating film, which has been formed in advance on a temporary support using the above application method, is transferred onto a substrate. Regarding the transfer method, the manufacturing methods described in paragraphs 0023, 0036-0051 of Japanese Patent Publication No. 2006-023696 and paragraphs 0096-0108 of Japanese Patent Publication No. 2006-047592 can be suitably used in the present invention as well. Furthermore, a process to remove excess film from the edges of the substrate may be performed. Examples of such processes include edge bead rinsing (EBR) and back rinsing. Alternatively, a pre-wetting process may be employed in which the substrate is coated with various solvents to improve its wettability before applying the resin composition to the substrate.
[0029] Furthermore, if the resin composition contains a solvent, the process may include a drying step (a drying step) in which the component made of the resin composition (hereinafter also simply referred to as "film") is dried after the resin composition has been applied to the substrate A. The drying temperature in the drying process is preferably 50 to 150°C, more preferably 70 to 130°C, and even more preferably 90 to 110°C. Drying may also be performed under reduced pressure. The drying time is exemplified as 30 seconds to 20 minutes, preferably 1 to 10 minutes, and more preferably 2 to 7 minutes.
[0030] The thickness immediately after application (or the thickness after drying if a drying process is performed) is not particularly limited and should be adjusted as appropriate so that the thickness of the resulting polyimide-containing portion is as described below.
[0031] The polyimide-containing portion formation step may include a step of patterning a component made of a resin composition. If a resin composition containing a photosensitive compound such as a photopolymerization initiator, as described later, is used, this patterning can be carried out by exposure and development. After the polyimide-containing portion is formed, its surface may be planarized. Details of the planarization will be described later. If patterning is performed, the thickness of the portion removed by development, etc., will not be used in the calculation of the film thickness difference (T1-T2) described later.
[0032] [Exposure process] The above film may be subjected to an exposure process in which the film is selectively exposed. In other words, the method for producing the polyimide-containing portion (hereinafter also referred to as "cured product") according to the polyimide-containing portion forming composition of the present invention may include an exposure step of selectively exposing the film formed by the application step. Selective exposure means exposing only a portion of a film. Selective exposure creates areas on the film that are exposed (exposed regions) and areas that are not exposed (unexposed regions). The exposure amount is not particularly defined as long as it can cure the resin composition of the present invention, but for example, it is 50 to 10,000 mJ / cm² in terms of exposure energy at a wavelength of 365 nm. 2 Preferably, 200-8,000 mJ / cm² 2 This is preferable.
[0033] The exposure wavelength can be appropriately determined within the range of 190 to 1,000 nm, with 240 to 550 nm being preferred.
[0034] In relation to the light source, the exposure wavelengths include (1) semiconductor lasers (wavelengths 830nm, 532nm, 488nm, 405nm, 375nm, 355nm, etc.), (2) metal halide lamps, (3) high-pressure mercury lamps, g-line (wavelength 436nm), h-line (wavelength 405nm), i-line (wavelength 365nm), broad (g, h, i-line wavelengths), (4) excimer lasers, KrF excimer laser (wavelength 248nm), ArF excimer laser (wavelength 193nm), F2 excimer laser (wavelength 157nm), (5) extreme ultraviolet; EUV (wavelength 13.6nm), (6) electron beams, and (7) the second harmonic 532nm and third harmonic 355nm of YAG lasers. For the resin composition of the present invention, exposure with a high-pressure mercury lamp is particularly preferred, and among these, exposure with the i-line is preferred. This can result in particularly high exposure sensitivity. Furthermore, the exposure method is not particularly limited, and any method in which at least a portion of the film made of the resin composition of the present invention is exposed is acceptable, but examples include exposure using a photomask and exposure by laser direct imaging.
[0035] <Post-exposure heating process> The above film may be subjected to a heating step after exposure (post-exposure heating step). In other words, the method for producing a cured product according to the polyimide-containing composition of the present invention may include a post-exposure heating step of heating the film exposed by the exposure step. The post-exposure heating step can be performed after the exposure step and before the development step. The heating temperature in the post-exposure heating step is preferably 50°C to 140°C, and more preferably 60°C to 120°C. The heating time in the post-exposure heating step is preferably 30 seconds to 300 minutes, and more preferably 1 minute to 10 minutes. The heating rate in the post-exposure heating process is preferably 1 to 12°C / min from the initial heating temperature to the maximum heating temperature, more preferably 2 to 10°C / min, and even more preferably 3 to 10°C / min. Furthermore, the heating rate may be changed as needed during the heating process. The heating means in the post-exposure heating process is not particularly limited, and known hot plates, ovens, infrared heaters, etc., can be used. Furthermore, it is preferable to carry out the heating process in a low-oxygen atmosphere by flowing inert gases such as nitrogen, helium, or argon through the system.
[0036] <Developing process> The film after exposure may be subjected to a developing process in which it is developed using a developing solution to form a pattern. In other words, the method for producing a cured product according to the polyimide-containing composition of the present invention may include a developing step in which a film exposed in an exposure step is developed using a developer to form a pattern. By performing the developing step, one of the exposed and unexposed parts of the film is removed, and a pattern is formed. Here, development in which the unexposed parts of the film are removed by the development process is called negative development, and development in which the exposed parts of the film are removed by the development process is called positive development.

[0040] When the developer contains an organic solvent, one or more organic solvents can be used in mixture form. In the present invention, a developer containing at least one selected from the group consisting of cyclopentanone, γ-butyrolactone, dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and cyclohexanone is particularly preferred, a developer containing at least one selected from the group consisting of cyclopentanone, γ-butyrolactone, and dimethyl sulfoxide is more preferred, and a developer containing cyclopentanone is most preferred.
[0041] When the developer contains an organic solvent, the content of the organic solvent relative to the total mass of the developer is preferably 50% by mass or more, more preferably 70% by mass or more, even more preferably 80% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 90% by mass or more. Alternatively, the above content may be 100% by mass.
[0042] The developing solution may contain other components as well. Other components include, for example, known surfactants and known defoaming agents.
[0043] [Method of supplying developing solution] There are no particular restrictions on the method of supplying the developer, as long as the desired pattern can be formed. These methods include immersing the substrate on which the film has been formed in the developer, paddle development where the developer is supplied to the film formed on the substrate using a nozzle, or a method of continuously supplying the developer. There are no particular restrictions on the type of nozzle, and examples include straight nozzles, shower nozzles, and spray nozzles. From the viewpoint of developer penetration, removal of non-image areas, and manufacturing efficiency, a method of supplying the developer with a straight nozzle or a method of continuously supplying it with a spray nozzle is preferred, and from the viewpoint of developer penetration into the image area, the method of supplying with a spray nozzle is more preferred. Alternatively, the process may involve continuously supplying the developer solution through a straight nozzle, spinning the substrate to remove the developer solution from the substrate, spin-drying, and then continuously supplying the developer solution again through a straight nozzle, spinning the substrate to remove the developer solution from the substrate. This process may be repeated multiple times. Furthermore, possible methods for supplying the developer during the developing process include a process in which the developer is continuously supplied to the substrate, a process in which the developer is kept in a nearly stationary state on the substrate, a process in which the developer is vibrated on the substrate using ultrasound or the like, and a process that combines these methods.
[0044] The development time is preferably 10 seconds to 10 minutes, and more preferably 20 seconds to 5 minutes. The temperature of the developer solution during development is not particularly specified, but is preferably 10 to 45°C, and more preferably 18 to 30°C.
[0045] In the developing process, after processing with the developer, the pattern may be further washed (rinsed) with a rinsing solution. Alternatively, methods such as supplying the rinsing solution before the developer in contact with the pattern dries completely may be employed.
[0046] [Rinsing solution] If the developer is an alkaline aqueous solution, water can be used as the rinsing solution. If the developer contains an organic solvent, a solvent different from the solvent contained in the developer (for example, water, or an organic solvent different from the organic solvent contained in the developer) can be used as the rinsing solution.
[0047] When the rinse solution contains an organic solvent, the organic solvent can be an ester such as ethyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, amyl formate, isoamyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, butyl propionate, isopropyl butyrate, ethyl butyrate, butyl butyrate, methyl lactate, ethyl lactate, γ-butyrolactone, ε-caprolactone, δ-valerolactone, alkyloxyacetates (e.g., alkyloxyacetate methyl, alkyloxyacetate ethyl acetate, alkyloxyacetate butyl (e.g., methoxyacetate methyl, methoxyacetate ethyl, methoxyacetate butyl, ethoxyacetate methyl, ethoxyacetate methyl, ethoxyacetate methyl ethyl acetate, alkyl 3-alkyloxypropionates (e.g., methyl 3-alkyloxypropionate, ethyl 3-alkyloxypropionate, etc. (e.g., methyl 3-methoxypropionate, ethyl 3-methoxypropionate, methyl 3-ethoxypropionate, ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate, etc.)), alkyl 2-alkyloxypropionates (e.g., methyl 2-alkyloxypropionate, ethyl 2-alkyloxypropionate, propyl 2-alkyloxypropionate, etc. (e.g., methyl 2-methoxy Tyl, ethyl 2-methoxypropionate, propyl 2-methoxypropionate, methyl 2-ethoxypropionate, ethyl 2-ethoxypropionate), methyl 2-alkyloxy-2-methylpropionate and ethyl 2-alkyloxy-2-methylpropionate (e.g., methyl 2-methoxy-2-methylpropionate, ethyl 2-ethoxy-2-methylpropionate, etc.), methyl pyruvate, ethyl pyruvate, propyl pyruvate, methyl acetoacetate, ethyl acetoacetate, methyl 2-oxobutanoate, ethyl 2-oxobutanoate, etc., and E Examples of ethers include diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, methyl cellosolve acetate, ethyl cellosolve acetate, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGME), propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA), propylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate,Suitable examples include propylene glycol monopropyl ether acetate, ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, cyclopentanone, 2-heptanone, 3-heptanone, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, cyclic hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene, anisole, and other aromatic hydrocarbons, cyclic terpenes such as limonene, sulfoxides such as dimethyl sulfoxide, alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, pentanol, octanol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, methyl isobutylcarbinol, and triethylene glycol, and amides such as N-methylpyrrolidone, N-ethylpyrrolidone, and dimethylformamide.
[0048] If the rinsing solution contains an organic solvent, one or more organic solvents may be used in mixture form. In the present invention, cyclopentanone, γ-butyrolactone, dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone, cyclohexanone, PGMEA, and PGME are particularly preferred, cyclopentanone, γ-butyrolactone, dimethyl sulfoxide, PGMEA, and PGME are more preferred, and cyclohexanone and PGMEA are even more preferred.
[0049] If the rinsing solution contains an organic solvent, it is preferable that the rinsing solution contains 50% or more by mass of the organic solvent, more preferably 70% or more by mass of the organic solvent, and even more preferably 90% or more by mass of the organic solvent. Alternatively, the rinsing solution may contain 100% by mass of the organic solvent.
[0050] The rinse solution may contain other ingredients as well. Other components include, for example, known surfactants and known defoaming agents.
[0051] [Method of supplying rinse solution] There are no particular restrictions on the method of supplying the rinsing solution, as long as a desired pattern can be formed. These methods include immersing the substrate in the rinsing solution, supplying the rinsing solution to the substrate by pouring the solution onto it, supplying the rinsing solution to the substrate with a shower, and continuously supplying the rinsing solution onto the substrate using means such as a straight nozzle. From the viewpoint of the penetration of the rinse solution, the removal of non-image areas, and manufacturing efficiency, there are methods for supplying the rinse solution using shower nozzles, straight nozzles, spray nozzles, etc. A method of continuous supply using a spray nozzle is preferred, and from the viewpoint of the penetration of the rinse solution into the image area, the method of supplying with a spray nozzle is more preferred. There are no particular restrictions on the type of nozzle, and examples include straight nozzles, shower nozzles, spray nozzles, etc. In other words, the rinsing step is preferably a step of supplying the rinsing solution to the exposed film using a straight nozzle or a continuous supply step, and more preferably a step of supplying the rinsing solution using a spray nozzle. Furthermore, possible methods for supplying the rinsing solution in the rinsing process include a process in which the rinsing solution is continuously supplied to the substrate, a process in which the rinsing solution is kept in a nearly stationary state on the substrate, a process in which the rinsing solution is vibrated on the substrate using ultrasound or the like, and a process that combines these methods.
[0052] The rinsing time is preferably 10 seconds to 10 minutes, and more preferably 20 seconds to 5 minutes. The temperature of the rinsing solution during rinsing is not particularly specified, but is preferably 10 to 45°C, and more preferably 18 to 30°C.
[0053] <Heating process> The pattern obtained by the development process (or the pattern after rinsing, if a rinsing process is performed) is preferably subjected to a heating process in which the pattern obtained by the development process (a component made of a resin composition) is heated. In other words, the method for producing a cured product according to the polyimide-containing composition of the present invention may include a heating step of heating the pattern obtained by the developing step. Furthermore, the method for producing a cured product according to the polyimide-containing composition of the present invention may also preferably include a heating step of heating a pattern obtained by another method without performing a developing step, or a film obtained by an application step, and it is even more preferable to include a heating step of heating a film obtained by an application step without performing a developing step. During the heating process, resins such as polyimide precursors undergo cyclization to become resins such as polyimide. Furthermore, crosslinking of unreacted crosslinkable groups in specific resins or other crosslinking agents also proceeds. The heating temperature (maximum heating temperature) in the heating process is preferably 375°C or lower, more preferably 350°C or lower, even more preferably 300°C or lower, and can also be 250°C or lower. The lower limit of the heating temperature is preferably 160°C or higher, more preferably 170°C or higher, and even more preferably 180°C or higher. By adjusting heating conditions such as heating temperature and heating time during the heating process, it is possible to adjust the glass transition temperature of the polyimide-containing portion. Specifically, it is believed that heating at a higher temperature for a longer period of time increases the ring closure rate of the polyimide, thereby raising the glass transition temperature.
[0054] The heating step is preferably a step in which the heating promotes the cyclization reaction of the polyimide precursor within the pattern by the action of bases generated from the base generating agent.
[0055] In the heating process, heating is preferably carried out at a heating rate of 1 to 12°C / minute from the initial heating temperature to the maximum heating temperature. More preferably, the heating rate is 2 to 10°C / minute, and even more preferably 3 to 10°C / minute. By setting the heating rate to 1°C / minute or more, it is possible to prevent excessive volatilization of acid or solvent while ensuring productivity, and by setting the heating rate to 12°C / minute or less, it is possible to alleviate residual stress in the cured product. In addition, in the case of an oven capable of rapid heating, it is preferable to raise the temperature from the initial temperature to the maximum heating temperature at a rate of 1 to 8°C / second, more preferably 2 to 7°C / second, and even more preferably 3 to 6°C / second.
[0056] The starting temperature for heating is preferably 20°C to 150°C, more preferably 20°C to 130°C, and even more preferably 25°C to 120°C. The starting temperature for heating refers to the temperature at which the process of heating to the maximum heating temperature is initiated. For example, when the resin composition of the present invention is applied to a substrate and then dried, this is the temperature of the film (layer) after drying. For example, it is preferable to start the heating process from a temperature 30 to 200°C lower than the boiling point of the solvent contained in the resin composition of the present invention.
[0057] The heating time (heating time at the maximum heating temperature) is preferably 5 to 360 minutes, more preferably 10 to 300 minutes, and even more preferably 15 to 240 minutes.
[0058] In particular, when forming a multilayer laminate, from the viewpoint of interlayer adhesion, the heating temperature is preferably 30°C or higher, more preferably 80°C or higher, even more preferably 100°C or higher, and particularly preferably 120°C or higher. The upper limit of the above heating temperature is preferably 350°C or less, more preferably 250°C or less, and even more preferably 240°C or less.
[0059] Heating may be carried out in stages. For example, the process may involve raising the temperature from 25°C to 120°C at a rate of 3°C / min, holding at 120°C for 60 minutes, raising the temperature from 120°C to 180°C at a rate of 2°C / min, and holding at 180°C for 120 minutes. It is also preferable to treat the film while irradiating it with ultraviolet light, as described in U.S. Patent No. 9,159,547. Such a pretreatment process can improve the properties of the film. The pretreatment process is best carried out for a short time, from about 10 seconds to 2 hours, with 15 seconds to 30 minutes being more preferable. The pretreatment may consist of two or more steps; for example, the first pretreatment step may be performed in the range of 100 to 150°C, followed by the second pretreatment step in the range of 150 to 200°C. Furthermore, the mixture may be cooled after heating, and in this case, the cooling rate is preferably 1 to 5°C / minute.
[0060] The heating process is preferably carried out in a low-oxygen atmosphere by flowing an inert gas such as nitrogen, helium, or argon, or under reduced pressure, in order to prevent the decomposition of specific resins. The oxygen concentration is preferably 50 ppm (by volume) or less, and more preferably 20 ppm (by volume) or less. The heating means in the heating process are not particularly limited, but examples include hot plates, infrared furnaces, electric ovens, hot air ovens, and infrared ovens.
[0061] <Post-development exposure process> The pattern obtained by the development process (or the pattern after rinsing, if a rinsing process is performed) may be subjected to a post-development exposure process in which the pattern after the development process is exposed, either in place of the heating process or in addition to the heating process. In other words, the method for producing a cured product according to the polyimide-containing composition of the present invention may include a post-development exposure step in which the pattern obtained in the development step is exposed to light. The method for producing a cured product according to the polyimide-containing composition of the present invention may include a heating step and a post-development exposure step, or it may include only one of the heating step and the post-development exposure step. In the post-development exposure process, for example, reactions such as the cyclization of polyimide precursors, etc., by exposure to a photobase generator, and the elimination of acid-degradable groups by exposure to a photoacid generator can be accelerated. In the post-development exposure step, it is sufficient for at least a portion of the pattern obtained in the development step to be exposed, but it is preferable for the entire pattern to be exposed. The exposure amount in the post-development exposure step is 50 to 20,000 mJ / cm², converted to exposure energy at the wavelength to which the photosensitive compound is sensitive. 2 Preferably, the concentration is 100 to 15,000 mJ / cm². 2 It is preferable that it be so. The post-development exposure step can be performed, for example, using the light source from the exposure step described above, and it is preferable to use broadband light.
[0062] <Preparing substrate B> A method for manufacturing a bonded body using the polyimide-containing composition of the present invention includes the step of preparing a substrate B having a surface equipped with wiring terminals.
[0063] The form of substrate B may be a wafer or a chip. These can be selected according to the desired design of the bonded structure.
[0064] [Circuit board B] Circuit board B has wiring terminals. Hereafter, the wiring terminals on circuit board B will also be referred to as wiring terminal B.
[0065] The thickness of substrate B is preferably 0.1 to 5 mm, and more preferably 0.2 to 1 mm. In the bonded body obtained by the bonding process described later, at least a portion of the wiring terminal B is electrically bonded to the wiring terminal A on the substrate A described above.
[0066] The material used for substrate B is not particularly limited, but the same material as that used for substrate A described above is preferred. Furthermore, the preferred embodiment of wiring terminal B is the same as the preferred embodiment of wiring terminal A. Substrate B may have an electronic circuit region including an electronic circuit. Furthermore, the electronic circuit may have elements such as semiconductors. It is also preferable that the electronic circuit is electrically connected to the wiring terminals. When substrate B is a wafer, its size can be 100 mm or more in diameter (or maximum diameter if substrate B is not circular). For larger substrates, it is preferable to have a size of 200 mm or more, and more preferably 250 mm or more. There is no particular upper limit, but it is preferable to have a size of 2,000 mm or less. When substrate B is a chip, the size is preferably such that the diameter (or maximum diameter if substrate B is not circular) is 7 mm or more, more preferably 8 mm or more, and even more preferably 10 mm or more. As an upper limit, for example, it is preferably 50 mm or less, more preferably 30 mm or less, and even more preferably 20 mm or less.
[0067] <Second polyimide-containing portion formation process> A method for manufacturing a bonded body using the polyimide-containing portion forming composition of the present invention preferably further includes a second polyimide-containing portion forming step, in which a second polyimide-containing portion is formed on the surface of the substrate B having the wiring terminals, prior to the bonding step. The second polyimide-containing portion formation step can be carried out, for example, by the same method as the polyimide-containing portion formation step for substrate A described above. In the second polyimide-containing portion formation step, the polyimide-containing portion formation composition of the present invention may be used, or other known polyimide-containing portion formation compositions may be used, but it is preferable to use the polyimide-containing portion formation composition of the present invention. However, when the polyimide-containing portion forming composition of the present invention is used in the second polyimide-containing portion forming step, the composition of the polyimide-containing portion forming composition of the present invention used in the second polyimide-containing portion forming step and the composition of the polyimide-containing portion forming composition used in the polyimide-containing portion forming step for substrate A may be the same or different. A preferred embodiment of the second polyimide-containing portion is the same as the preferred embodiment of the polyimide-containing portion formed in the substrate A described above. In the bonding process described later, it is believed that the adhesion of the bonded body will be improved by bonding the second polyimide-containing portion and the polyimide-containing portion formed on the substrate A described above in such a way that they are in contact in at least a portion of the area.
[0068] Furthermore, when forming a second polyimide-containing portion, it is preferable that the glass transition temperature of the second polyimide-containing portion is lower than the bonding temperature in the bonding process. From the viewpoint of increasing the maximum peel resistance, the glass transition temperature of the second polyimide-containing portion is preferably 30°C or more lower than the bonding temperature in the bonding process, more preferably 50°C or more lower, and even more preferably 70°C or more lower. Furthermore, it is preferable that the glass transition temperature of the second polyimide-containing portion is 30°C or more higher than the bonding temperature in the bonding process.
[0069] [Flattening process] In a method for manufacturing a bonded body using the polyimide-containing portion forming composition of the present invention, it is preferable to include a planarization step between the polyimide-containing portion forming step and the bonding step, in which the surface of the polyimide-containing portion of the substrate A is planarized. In the bonding process described later, it is preferable that the planarized polyimide-containing portion of base material A and the surface of base material B (or the surface of a second polyimide-containing portion which may also be planarized) are joined in contact.
[0070] As a result of the planarization described above, it is preferable that the wiring terminals A on the substrate A are exposed from the polyimide-containing portion. The above planarization may be carried out by physical polishing such as cutting, mechanical polishing, grinding, plasma treatment, and laser ablation, or by chemical polishing such as CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing). Alternatively, these methods can be combined, such as performing CMP after cutting. Specifically, for example, one method involves cutting the surface of the polyimide-containing portion with a diamond cutting tool to expose the new surface of the polyimide-containing portion and the wiring terminal A. By performing a planarization process on the substrate A between the wiring terminal A and the polyimide-containing portion so that the wiring terminal A is exposed, it becomes possible to expose the leading edge of the wiring terminal A by simultaneously planarizing the wiring terminal A and the polyimide-containing portion. Surface planing can be performed, for example, using a surface planer. Examples of surface planers include those with a diamond cutting tool mounted on a spindle, such as the DISCO DFS8910, DFS8960, DAS8920, and DAS8930 (all product names).
[0071] -TTV- In the planarization process, it is preferable that the polyimide-containing portion is planarized together with the wiring terminal A. The degree of planarization is preferably such that the TTV (Total Thickness Variation) of the polyimide-containing portion and the wiring terminal A is 10 μm or less, more preferably 5 μm or less, and even more preferably 3 μm or less. In this invention, TTV refers to the arithmetic mean of the film thickness differences (T1-T2) of the remaining sections. The TTV is calculated by dividing the area 1 mm or more inward from the edge of the polyimide-containing portion into 2 mm square sections (if the area of the polyimide-containing portion is too small to be divided into 2 mm square sections, the entire area 1 mm or more inward from the edge of the polyimide-containing portion is considered one section), measuring the maximum thickness (T1) and minimum thickness (T2) between one surface and the other surface for each section, calculating the film thickness difference (T1-T2) for each section, assigning a hierarchy to the sections in descending order of film thickness difference (T1-T2), excluding a number of section groups corresponding to 10% of the total number of sections (rounded down if decimal places exist) in descending order of film thickness difference starting from the top-ranked section (largest film thickness difference), and excluding a number of section groups corresponding to 10% of the total number of sections (rounded down if decimal places exist) in descending order of film thickness difference starting from the lowest-ranked section (smallest film thickness difference), and so on. In this specification, the term "partition evaluation TTV" may be used when referring specifically to the TTV of the polyimide-containing portion as defined herein. By keeping the TTV of the polyimide-containing portion below the above upper limit, the film thickness becomes generally uniform, and the adhesion to the substrate B is improved.
[0072] -Ra- The polyimide-containing portion of the present invention preferably has a surface roughness Ra of 10 nm or more and 1.5 μm or less on the side opposite to the side in contact with the surface of the substrate A. The upper limit is preferably 1 μm or less, more preferably 500 nm or less, even more preferably 300 nm or less, even more preferably 200 nm or less, even more preferably 150 nm or less, and even more preferably 120 nm or less. By making the surface roughness of the polyimide-containing portion equal to or greater than the above lower limit, an anchoring effect can be activated to improve adhesion to substrate B. Furthermore, by keeping the surface roughness below the above upper limit, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of defects such as voids caused by bubbles or other imperfections during bonding with substrate B.
[0073] When forming a second polyimide-containing portion on substrate B, it is preferable to include a second planarization step between the second polyimide-containing portion formation step and the bonding step, in which the surface of the second polyimide-containing portion is planarized. The second planarization step can be carried out in the same manner as the planarization step in substrate A described above.
[0074] [Joining process] A method for manufacturing a bonded body using the polyimide-containing composition of the present invention includes a bonding step of bonding the surface of the substrate A having the polyimide-containing portion to the surface of the substrate B having the wiring terminals. If the substrate B has a second polyimide-containing portion, the bonding step is a step of bonding the surface of the substrate A having the polyimide-containing portion to the surface of the substrate B having the second polyimide-containing portion.
[0075] Through bonding, wiring terminal A on board A and wiring terminal B on board B are electrically connected. In the above bonding process, one preferred embodiment of the present invention is that the electrodes included in the surface of substrate A having a polyimide-containing portion and the electrodes on the surface of substrate B having the wiring terminals are bonded in direct contact. In other words, it is also preferable that neither wiring terminal A nor wiring terminal B has a conductive passage. In the present invention, since the glass transition temperature of the polyimide-containing portion is lower than the bonding temperature, adhesion and electrical connectivity between substrate A and substrate B can be ensured even when a conductive passage is not used.
[0076] The joining is preferably carried out by means including heating, and more preferably by means including heating and pressurizing. The bonding temperature is preferably 100°C or higher, more preferably 150°C or higher, and even more preferably 180°C or higher. The upper limit is preferably 450°C or lower, more preferably 400°C or lower, even more preferably 380°C or lower, particularly preferably 350°C or lower, even more preferably 300°C or lower, even more preferably 280°C or lower, even more preferably 260°C or lower, and even more preferably 250°C or lower. This temperature is preferably near the melting point of the conductive passage, taking into consideration the need to melt the conductive passage and enable bonding between electrodes, as described above. The heating time in the joining process is not particularly limited, but is preferably 5 seconds or more, more preferably 1 minute or more, and even more preferably 2 minutes or more. A practical upper limit is 30 minutes or less. The heating environment is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to carry it out under a reduced pressure atmosphere while mechanically pressurizing the polyimide-containing portion. The atmospheric pressure should be 1 × 10⁻⁶. -5 Preferably, mbar or more, 1 × 10 -4 It is more preferable that it be mbar or greater, 5 × 10 -4It is even more preferable that it be mbar or higher. As an upper limit, it is preferably 0.1 mbar or less, and 1 × 10⁻⁶ -2 It is more preferable that it be less than or equal to mbar, 5 × 10 -3 It is even more preferable that it be less than or equal to mbar. The bonding is preferably performed by sandwiching two substrates (substrate A and substrate B), and it is preferable to apply pressure to the substrates at this time. The pressure applied to the substrates is preferably 1 kN or more, more preferably 5 kN or more, and even more preferably 10 kN or more. As an upper limit, it is practical to be 100 kN or less. The equipment used in the bonding process is not particularly limited, but equipment used for reflow soldering of electronic components can be suitably used.
[0077] Furthermore, it is preferable that the substrate A, which contains the polyimide, is preheated to 70°C or higher during the bonding process. Furthermore, if substrate B includes a second polyimide-containing portion, it is preferable that the temperature of substrate B is preheated to 70°C or higher. The above temperature is preferably 70°C or higher, and more preferably 90°C or higher. Furthermore, the upper limit of the above temperature is not particularly limited, but is preferably 130°C or lower. The above embodiment makes it possible to reduce the cycle time of the joining process. Furthermore, the fluidity of the polyimide-containing portion during bonding may improve, potentially leading to an increase in the maximum peel resistance.
[0078] [Other processes] Furthermore, the method for manufacturing a bonded body using the polyimide-containing composition of the present invention does not preclude the inclusion of other steps between the steps specified above. In addition, although the explanation has mainly focused on an example in which substrate A and substrate B are joined by facing each other face to face as a joining step, a configuration in which multiple substrates B are arranged in parallel with substrate A and bonded together is also possible. Alternatively, a configuration in which substrates A and B of a suitable thickness are placed side by side and their sides are joined together is also possible.
[0079] <Example of a manufacturing method for a jointed body> The following describes an example of a method for manufacturing a joined body, using diagrams. Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional diagram illustrating a part of the process when bonding a substrate using a method for manufacturing a bonded body according to one embodiment of the present invention. First, a substrate A (base substrate) 1 is prepared, on which an electronic circuit region 8 is arranged on a silicon wafer 1x and electrodes 31 (wiring terminals A) are attached thereto (Figure 2(a)). An electronic circuit 81, composed of a conductor or semiconductor, is already formed inside the electronic circuit region 8 of the substrate A1. The method for forming the electronic circuit is not particularly limited and can be formed by conventional methods. Furthermore, the structure and components of the electronic circuit are not particularly limited, and examples include a transistor and a wiring structure that connects it to the electrodes.
[0080] The resin composition is applied to the electrode-laid surface (the surface having the electronic circuit region) P0 of the substrate A1 to form a component (resin composition layer) 4 made of the resin composition (Figure 2(b)). In this state, the resin composition layer may be heated and dried (drying step). Alternatively, after drying, the resin composition layer 4 may be patterned by photolithography or ion sputtering.
[0081] Subsequently, in this embodiment, the resin composition layer 4 is heated to promote cyclization and harden to form a polyimide-containing portion 41 (Figure 2(c)). This forms a polyimide-containing portion-distributed substrate 1y on substrate A1 with the polyimide-containing portion 41 disposed thereon. As in this example, the polyimide-containing portion 41 may shrink compared to the resin composition layer 4 due to hardening. Although the figures are slightly exaggerated, the shrinkage rate is not particularly limited, and a smaller shrinkage rate is acceptable, or it may not shrink at all due to hardening. Furthermore, although the substrate A shown in the figure has only an electrode 31 as a wiring terminal A, a conductive passage may be formed on the electrode 31. The conductive passage may be formed in the substrate A from the beginning, or the polyimide-containing portion may be patterned before curing, and the conductive passage may be created in the patterned portion by plating or other means.
[0082] In the polyimide-containing substrate 1y of this embodiment, the heights h1 and h2 of the electrodes 31 vary. Also, the surface 4a of the polyimide-containing portion is wavy and not flat. In this embodiment, by performing flattening, the variations in the height of the electrodes 31 are eliminated, the leading surface is exposed, and the surface of the polyimide-containing portion is also flattened. By performing this planarization, it is believed that the adhesion of the substrate will be improved. Furthermore, it is believed that the connectivity between wiring terminals will be improved even without forming a conductive path.
[0083] Figure 3 shows the polyimide-containing substrate (laminated structure) 1z after planarization. The tip 31a of the electrode 31 is exposed on the surface 4b of the polyimide-containing portion, and the entire surface 4b of the polyimide-containing portion is planarized.
[0084] A substrate B is prepared separately for the laminate (planarized polyimide-containing substrate) 1z (Figure 4(a)). Substrate B2 comprises a silicon wafer 2x having through-hole electrodes 2y, a circuit wiring region 8 having circuit wiring 81 disposed thereon, and electrodes 32 (wiring terminals B) formed within the circuit wiring region 8. In this embodiment, a second polyimide-containing portion 42 is also formed on the surface of substrate B having the wiring terminals B, and its surface 2a is planarized in the same way as the surface of the polyimide-containing portion 41 on substrate A. The formation and planarization of the second polyimide-containing portion 42 can be carried out by the same method as the formation and planarization of the polyimide-containing portion 41. As described above, since the surfaces of the polyimide-containing portion 41 and electrode 31 of substrate A, and the surfaces of the second polyimide-containing portion 42 and electrode 32 of substrate B are both flattened, electrical connectivity is improved even when there is no conductive path, as in this embodiment. At this time, the electrode 31 portion of the laminate and the electrode 32 provided on the substrate B2 are aligned (positioned) so that they come into contact. In this case, if at least one of the polyimide-containing portion 41 and the second polyimide-containing portion 42 contains a migration inhibitor, even if misalignment occurs in this alignment, it is possible to suppress the migration of metal from the electrode 31 (electrode 32) to the polyimide-containing portion 41 (second polyimide-containing portion 42), thereby improving the dielectric strength. In the wiring terminal B, a conductive passage may also be formed on the electrode 32. The conductive passage may be formed in the substrate B from the beginning, or the second polyimide-containing portion may be patterned before hardening, and the conductive passage may be created in the patterned portion by plating or other means.
[0085] Next, in this embodiment, the aligned substrate B2 and the laminate 1z are joined by contacting them at the bonding surface P1 via the polyimide-containing portion 41 and the second polyimide-containing portion 42 (Figure 4(b)). This forms a bonded body 100 in which two substrates are joined together. In the bonded body 100, electrodes 31 and 32 are electrically joined (joining process). Simultaneously, the heating described above softens the polyimide-containing portion 41, causing the surface 4b of the polyimide-containing portion of the laminate 1z to bond with the surface 2a of the substrate B (the flattened surface of the second polyimide-containing portion 42), thereby forming the bonded body 100. In this invention, since the glass transition temperature of the polyimide-containing portion is lower than the bonding temperature in the bonding process, the polyimide-containing portion is sufficiently softened, resulting in excellent adhesion. This allows for an electrical connection between substrate A and substrate B, as well as a secure and stable fixation between them.
[0086] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the flatness of the polyimide-containing surface 4b and the second polyimide-containing surface 2a of the laminate 1z is high, so a dense and accurate contact state with the substrate B2 can be obtained at the contact surface. By achieving a denser and more accurate contact state, voids that tend to occur at the contact surface can be effectively suppressed.
[0087] (Method of manufacturing a device) The device according to the present invention comprises a joint obtained by a method for manufacturing a joint using the polyimide-containing portion forming composition of the present invention. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of the present invention includes the method for manufacturing a bonded structure of the present invention.

Examples of devices include those described in "Illustrated Guide to All About Cutting-Edge Semiconductor Packaging Technology" edited by the Semiconductor New Technology Research Group, Kogyo Chosakai, pp. 8-19, 110-114, 160-165, and "Illustrated Guide to All About Surface Treatment Technology" edited by the Surface Optics Research Institute, Kanto Gakuin University, Kogyo Chosakai, pp. 32-41, 56-59. Specifically, examples include using the aforementioned polyimide-containing portion as an adhesive film to replace the underfill between chips, and using the aforementioned polyimide-containing portion as a die bonding film to fix the chips. Furthermore, the polyimide-containing composition for forming parts of the present invention can be applied to a wide range of applications, including the mounting of LED (light-emitting diode) elements, the mounting of optical elements in flat panel displays, and the mounting of power semiconductor packages. Furthermore, for example, the polyimide-containing composition for forming the present invention can be suitably used in the three-dimensional packaging of semiconductor devices equipped with through-silicon vias (TSVs). Figure 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a three-dimensional mounting device. In this embodiment, a laminate 101, in which a plurality of semiconductor elements (semiconductor chips) 101a to 101d are stacked, is arranged on a wiring substrate 120. The plurality of semiconductor elements 101a to 101d are all made of semiconductor wafers such as silicon substrates. The laminate 101 has a structure in which a semiconductor element 101a without through electrodes and semiconductor elements 101b to 101d having through electrodes 102b to 102d are connected by flip-chip connections. The connection pads on the semiconductor element side having through electrodes are connected by metal bumps 103a, 103b, and 103c such as solder bumps. A resin layer 110 is formed in the gaps between each semiconductor element 101a to 101d. The manufacturing method of the bonded body according to the present invention can be used as the manufacturing method of this laminate. That is, for example, at least one (preferably all) of the resin layers 110 can be a polyimide-containing portion made of the polyimide-containing portion forming composition of the present invention described above. A surface electrode 120a is provided on one side of the wiring board 120. An insulating layer 115 on which a rewiring layer 105 is formed is disposed between the wiring board 120 and the laminate (substrate / substrate laminate) 101. One end of the rewiring layer 105 is connected to an electrode pad formed on the side of the semiconductor element 101d facing the rewiring layer 105 via a metal bump 103d such as a solder bump. The other end of the rewiring layer 105 is connected to the surface electrode 120a of the wiring board via a metal bump 103e such as a solder bump. A resin layer 110a is formed between the insulating layer 115 and the laminate 101. The polyimide-containing portion forming composition of the present invention can also be used for bonding this insulating layer 115 and the laminate 101. That is, for example, the resin layer 110a can be the polyimide-containing portion described above. A resin layer 110b is also formed between the insulating layer 115 and the wiring board 120. The polyimide-containing portion forming composition of the present invention can also be used for bonding the insulating layer 115 to the wiring board 120. That is, for example, the resin layer 110b can be made into the polyimide-containing portion described above.

[0235] -Thermal polymerization initiator- The resin composition according to the present invention may also preferably contain a thermal polymerization initiator. While thermal polymerization initiators can be selected according to the type of polymerizable compound, thermal radical polymerization initiators are preferred.

The sensitizer may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.
[0240] [Chain transfer agent] The resin composition of the present invention may contain a chain transfer agent. A chain transfer agent is defined, for example, on pages 683-684 of the Polymer Dictionary, Third Edition (edited by the Society of Polymer Science, Japan, 2005).

[0346] These acid scavengers may be used individually or in combination of two or more types. The composition according to the present invention may or may not contain an acid scavenger. If it does contain an acid scavenger, the amount of acid scavenger is usually 0.001 to 10% by mass, preferably 0.01 to 5% by mass, based on the total solid content of the composition.
[0347] The ratio of acid generator to acid scavenger used is preferably 2.5 to 300 in molar ratio. Specifically, a molar ratio of 2.5 or higher is preferred from the viewpoint of sensitivity and resolution, and 300 or lower is preferred from the viewpoint of suppressing the decrease in resolution due to the thickening of the relief pattern over time from exposure to heat treatment. The molar ratio of acid generator to acid scavenger is more preferably 5.0 to 200, and even more preferably 7.0 to 150.
[0348] The resin composition of the present invention may also contain fillers. The filler is preferably thermally conductive. The filler may also be electrically insulating, semiconductor, or conductive. The degree of electrical insulation and conductivity is appropriately selected depending on the design and purpose. For example, in the case of an electrically insulating filler, the lower limit of the volume resistivity of that filler is 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 11 Preferably, it is Ω·cm or larger, and 3.0 × 10 11 It is more preferable that the value be Ω·cm or greater, and 1.0 × 10 12 It is particularly preferable that the resistivity be Ω·cm or greater. Furthermore, the upper limit of the volume resistivity is not particularly limited, but for example, 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ 18 The following values are preferable: Ω·cm. On the other hand, in the case of semiconductors and conductive fillers, there is no particular lower limit to the volume resistivity of the filler, but practically speaking, it is 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. -7 It is greater than or equal to Ω·cm. Furthermore, the upper limit of the volume resistivity is 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 11 It is preferable that the value is less than Ω·cm.
[0349] The thermal diffusivity of the filler is, for example, 5.0 × 10⁻⁶ -7 m 2 s -1 Preferably, it is 1.0 × 10 -6 m 2 s -1 It is more preferable that the above be 2.0 × 10 -6 m 2 s -1 It is even more preferable that the above be the case, 3.0 × 10 -6 m 2 s -1The above is particularly preferable. Furthermore, there is no particular upper limit to the thermal diffusivity of the filler, but for example, 1.0 × 10 -4 m 2 s -1 The following is preferable:
[0350] The density of the filler is, for example, 4.0 g / cm³. 3 Preferably, it is 3.0 g / cm³. 3 The following is more preferable. Furthermore, the lower limit of the filler density is not particularly limited, but for example, 1.0 g / cm³. 3 The above is preferable. Furthermore, if the filler is porous or has voids or cavities, such as being a porous or hollow particle, the density of the filler in this specification refers to the density of the solid component among the components constituting the filler.
[0351] Preferably, the filler includes an electrically insulating material. The electrically insulating filler material is, for example, an electrically insulating ceramic composed of nitrogen compounds, oxygen compounds, silicon compounds, boron compounds, carbon compounds, and composite compounds thereof. Examples of nitrogen compounds include boron nitride, aluminum nitride, and silicon nitride. Examples of oxygen compounds include metal oxides such as aluminum oxide (alumina), magnesium oxide (magnesia), zinc oxide, silicon oxide (silica), beryllium oxide, titanium oxide (titania), copper oxide, and cuprous oxide. Examples of silicon and carbon compounds include silicon carbide. Examples of boron compounds include metallic borides such as titanium boride. Other carbon compounds include carbon substrate materials where σ bonds are dominant, such as diamond. Examples of the above composite compounds include mineral-based ceramics such as magnesite (magnesium carbonate), perovskite (calcium titanate), talc, mica, kaolin, bentonite, and pyroferrite. Furthermore, the electrically insulating filler material may be a metal hydroxide such as magnesium hydroxide or aluminum hydroxide.
[0352] Among these, from the viewpoint of thermal conductivity and other factors, the filler material preferably contains at least one of the following: ceramics made of nitrogen compounds, ceramics made of metal oxides, and metal hydroxides. Furthermore, the filler material preferably contains at least one selected from the group consisting of, for example, boron nitride, aluminum nitride, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, beryllium oxide, and aluminum hydroxide. In particular, it is especially preferable that the filler material contains at least one selected from the group consisting of boron nitride, aluminum nitride, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, and beryllium oxide, and it is even more preferable that it contains at least one of boron nitride, aluminum nitride, silicon nitride, and aluminum oxide. Note that the boron nitride may have any of the following structures: c-BN (cubic structure), w-BN (wurtzite structure), h-BN (hexagonal structure), r-BN (rhombohedral structure), t-BN (random structure), etc. Boron nitride can be spherical or flaky, and both can be used. Furthermore, the IX-3 series and other products manufactured by Nippon Shokubai can also be suitably used.
[0353] Examples of conductive filler materials include carbon substrate materials where π bonds are dominant, such as graphite, carbon black, carbon fiber (pitch-based, PAN-based), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and carbon nanofibers (CNFs). Other filler materials may include metals such as silver, copper, iron, nickel, aluminum, and titanium, as well as alloys such as stainless steel (SUS). Furthermore, conductive metal oxides such as zinc oxide doped with heterogeneous elements, and conductive ceramics such as ferrite can also be used as filler materials.
[0354] The filler may be composed of semiconductor or conductive thermally conductive particles coated or surface-treated with an electrically insulating material such as silica. This configuration makes it easier to individually control thermal conductivity and electrical insulation, thus facilitating adjustment of these properties. For example, methods for forming a silica film on the surface include the water glass method and the sol-gel method.
[0355] These fillers can be used individually or in combination of two or more. Furthermore, there are no particular limitations on the shape of the fillers; various shapes can be used, such as fibrous, plate-like, flaky, rod-like, spherical, tubular, curved plate-like, and needle-like forms.
[0356] The filler may be subjected to surface treatments such as silane coupling treatment, titanate coupling treatment, epoxy treatment, urethane treatment, or oxidation treatment. Examples of surface treatment agents used include polyols, aluminum oxide, aluminum hydroxide, silica (silicon dioxide), hydrated silica, alkanolamines, stearic acid, organosiloxanes, zirconium oxide, hydrogen dimethicone, silane coupling agents, and titanate coupling agents. Among these, silane coupling agents are preferred.
[0357] Regarding the size of the filler, the average particle diameter of the filler is preferably 30 μm or less, more preferably 20 μm or less, and even more preferably 10 μm or less. Furthermore, the average particle size of the filler is preferably 0.01 μm or larger, more preferably 0.05 μm or larger, even more preferably 0.1 μm or larger, and particularly preferably 0.3 μm or larger. The "average particle size" of the filler can be determined by observing the filler in the polyimide-containing portion with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and observing the parts where the filler particles are not aggregated (primary particles). The average particle diameter can be calculated as the average of the diameters of the minimum inclusion circles for the apparent contour of each particle observed by SEM. Specifically, it can be described by the method described in the examples below.
[0358] The filler may contain a granular mixture in which at least two groups of particles with different particle sizes are mixed. The "particle size" of a certain particle group is determined in the same way as the "particle size" of the filler. With this configuration, smaller particles fill the spaces between larger particles, reducing the spacing between fillers and increasing the contact points compared to a case containing only a single-diameter filler, thus improving thermal conductivity. For example, when two groups of particles with different particle sizes are mixed, two peaks are observed in the particle size distribution of the filler containing these particle groups. Therefore, by checking the number of peaks in the particle size distribution of the filler, it is possible to determine how many different groups of particles with different particle sizes are contained in the granular mixture that serves as the filler.
[0359] When there are multiple peaks in the particle size distribution of the filler, the peak-to-particle-size ratio (the ratio of particle sizes corresponding to the peak peaks) between at least two peaks is preferably 1.5 to 50. The lower limit is preferably 2 or more, and more preferably 4 or more. The upper limit is preferably 40 or less, and more preferably 20 or less. If the above peak ratio is within the above range, it becomes easier for small-diameter fillers to occupy the spaces between large-diameter fillers while suppressing large-diameter fillers from becoming coarse particles. Furthermore, for at least two peaks, the peak intensity ratio of the larger-grained peak to the smaller-grained peak is preferably 0.2 to 5.0. The lower limit is preferably 0.2 or higher, and more preferably 0.5 or higher. The upper limit is preferably 5.0 or lower, and more preferably 3.0 or lower.
[0360] The filler content is preferably 10% by mass or more, and more preferably 30% by mass or more, relative to the total solid content of the resin composition. The above content is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of processability by lithography, it is preferably 90% by mass or less, and more preferably 75% by mass or less. If the resin composition contains fillers, any statement regarding the content of components other than fillers that means "relative to the total solids content of the resin composition" shall be read as "relative to the total mass of the resin composition excluding the fillers."
[0361] The proportion of particles with a particle size of 0.5 to 15 μm in the total filler is preferably 50% by mass or more, and more preferably 80% by mass or more. The upper limit of this proportion can be 100% by mass or 99% by mass or less. This proportion is preferably 99% by mass or less, and more preferably 95% by mass or less.
[0362] As described above, fillers can be used individually or in combination of two or more types, and if two or more types of fillers are included, it is preferable that their total amount is within the above range.
[0363] <Other additives> The resin composition of the present invention may optionally contain various additives, such as surfactants, higher fatty acid derivatives, ultraviolet absorbers, organotitanium compounds, antioxidants, anti-flocculation agents, phenolic compounds, other polymer compounds, plasticizers, and other auxiliary agents (e.g., defoamers, flame retardants, etc.), to the extent that the effects of the present invention are obtained. By appropriately including these components, properties such as film properties can be adjusted. These components can be described, for example, in paragraphs 0183 onwards of Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2012-003225 (paragraph 0237 of the corresponding US Patent Application Publication No. 2013 / 0034812), paragraphs 0101-0104, 0107-0109 of Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2008-250074, and these contents are incorporated herein. When these additives are included, it is preferable that their total amount is 3% by mass or less of the solid content of the resin composition of the present invention.
[0364] [Surfactants] Various surfactants can be used, including fluorine-based surfactants, silicone-based surfactants, and hydrocarbon-based surfactants. The surfactant may be a nonionic surfactant, a cationic surfactant, or an anionic surfactant.
[0365] By incorporating a surfactant into the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention, the liquid properties (especially fluidity) when prepared as a coating solution are further improved, and the uniformity of the coating thickness and the amount of liquid used can be further improved. Specifically, when forming a film using a coating solution to which a composition containing a surfactant has been applied, the interfacial tension between the surface to be coated and the coating solution is reduced, improving wettability to the surface to be coated and improving coatability to the surface to be coated. Therefore, it is possible to more favorably form a film of uniform thickness with less thickness variation.
