Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to resin compositions, cured products, laminates, methods for producing cured products, semiconductor devices, and compounds. [Background technology]
[0002] Cyclic resins such as polyimide are used in a variety of applications due to their excellent heat resistance and insulation properties. While not limited to these applications, examples in semiconductor devices for packaging include their use as insulating films, encapsulants, or protective films. They are also used as base films and coverlays for flexible substrates.
[0003] For example, in the applications described above, cyclized resins such as polyimide are used in the form of a resin composition containing at least one of the cyclized resin such as polyimide and a precursor of the cyclized resin. Such a resin composition can be applied to a substrate, for example by coating, to form a photosensitive film, and then, if necessary, exposure, development, heating, etc., can be performed to form a cured product on the substrate. The precursors of the cyclized resin, such as polyimide precursors, are cyclized, for example, by heating, and become cyclized resins such as polyimide in the cured product. Since the resin composition can be applied by known coating methods, it can be said to have excellent manufacturing adaptability, such as a high degree of freedom in designing the shape, size, and application location of the resin composition when applied. In addition to the high performance of cyclized resins such as polyimides, the industrial application development of the above-mentioned resin composition is increasingly expected from the standpoint of such excellent manufacturing adaptability.
[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 describes a photosensitive resin composition containing a polymer precursor whose reaction to the final product is promoted by a basic substance or by heating in the presence of a basic substance, and a base generator having a specific structure that generates a base by irradiation with electromagnetic waves and heating.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2013-194205 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0006] In resin compositions comprising a cyclized resin and at least one of a precursor of a cyclized resin, it is desired that the resulting cured product exhibits reduced film shrinkage. Film shrinkage refers to the decrease (shrinkage) in volume of the cured product (e.g., the cured film) after curing compared to the composition before curing (e.g., the composition film before heating). From the viewpoint of easily obtaining a cured product of the desired dimensions and from the viewpoint of adhesion between the cured product and the substrate, it is desirable to minimize the volume reduction of the cured product, i.e., to reduce film shrinkage.
[0007] The present invention aims to provide a resin composition that reduces film shrinkage of the resulting cured product, a cured product obtained by curing the resin composition, a laminate containing the cured product, a method for manufacturing the cured product, and a semiconductor device containing the cured product or the laminate. Furthermore, the present invention aims to provide novel compounds. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] (Resin composition) The resin composition of the present invention comprises at least one resin selected from the group consisting of cyclized resins and their precursors (hereinafter also referred to as "specific resin"), and a polymerizable compound having a polymerizable group and an amide bond linked to each other via a linking group (hereinafter also referred to as "specific polymerizable compound"), wherein the amide bond is linked to the linking group on the carbonyl group side, and when a monopolymer is synthesized using the polymerizable compound, the monopolymer exhibits the property of generating a base released from the main chain upon heating to 250°C. Furthermore, it is preferable that the monopolymer exhibits the property of generating a base released from the main chain upon heating to 220°C, more preferably upon heating to 200°C, even more preferably upon heating to 190°C, and particularly preferably upon heating to 180°C.
[0012] The resin composition of the present invention is preferably used to form a photosensitive film subjected to exposure and development, and more preferably used to form a film subjected to exposure and development using a developer solution containing an organic solvent. The resin composition of the present invention can be used, for example, to form insulating films for semiconductor devices, interlayer insulating films for redistribution layers, stress buffer films, etc., and is preferably used to form interlayer insulating films for redistribution layers. Furthermore, the resin composition of the present invention may be used to form a photosensitive film for positive-type development, or for forming a photosensitive film for negative-type development. In the present invention, negative development refers to development in which unexposed areas are removed by development, and positive development refers to development in which exposed areas are removed by development. As the above-mentioned exposure method, developer, and developing method, for example, the exposure method, developer, and developing method described in the exposure step, developing step, and developing steps described in the description of the manufacturing method of the cured product described later may be used.
[0013] The resin composition of the present invention reduces film shrinkage of the resulting cured product. The mechanism by which the above effects are achieved is unknown, but it is speculated to be as follows.
[0014] The specific polymerizable compound has polymerizable groups linked to each other via a linking group and an amide bond, and the amide bond is linked to the linking group on the carbonyl group side. Specific polymerizable compounds are compounds in which the amide bond cleaves upon heating, generating a base. In other words, the resin composition of the present invention contains a specific polymerizable compound, which is a compound having a polymerizable group on the side opposite to the base that is generated (the carbonyl group side). When the composition made of the resin composition of the present invention is heated before curing, the decomposition product of the specific polymerizable compound after the base is generated by heating is in a polymerized state. As a result, the amount of low-molecular-weight components in the film decreases during heating, and because specific polymerizable compounds have polymerizable groups, polymerization improves the crosslinking density of the film, raising the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the film, thus reducing film shrinkage during heating. Furthermore, since the amount of low-molecular-weight components remaining in the resulting cured product is reduced, it is expected that chemical resistance will also improve. Furthermore, if a specific polymerizable compound polymerizes during exposure before heating, the elution of the specific polymerizable compound during development can be suppressed. This is presumed to increase the amount of base generated during heating, thereby improving the elongation at break of the cured product. Since the base generated from the specific polymerizable compound itself does not polymerize, it is thought to diffuse easily within the film. Therefore, for example, if a precursor of a specific resin is used as the specific resin, the effect of the base in promoting the cyclization of the specific resin precursor is considered to be significant. In addition, certain polymerizable compounds have a structure that is close to neutral before base generation, and resin compositions containing these compounds are thought to have excellent storage stability.
[0015] However, Patent Document 1 does not describe any specific polymerizable compounds.
[0016] The components included in the resin composition of the present invention will be described in detail below.
[0017] <Specific resin> The resin composition of the present invention comprises at least one resin (specific resin) selected from the group consisting of cyclized resins and their precursors. The cyclized resin is preferably a resin that contains an imide ring structure or an oxazole ring structure in its main chain structure. In this invention, the main chain refers to the relatively longest bonding chain within the resin molecule. Examples of cyclized resins include polyimide, polybenzoxazole, and polyamideimide. A precursor of a cyclized resin is a resin that undergoes a change in chemical structure due to external stimuli to become a cyclized resin. Resins that undergo a change in chemical structure due to heat to become a cyclized resin are preferred, and resins that undergo a ring-closing reaction due to heat to form a ring structure to become a cyclized resin are more preferred. Examples of precursors for cyclized resins include polyimide precursors, polybenzoxazole precursors, and polyamideimide precursors. In other words, the resin composition of the present invention preferably contains, as a specific resin, at least one resin (specific resin) selected from the group consisting of polyimide, polyimide precursor, polybenzoxazole, polybenzoxazole precursor, polyamideimide, and polyamideimide precursor. The resin composition of the present invention preferably contains polyimide or a polyimide precursor as a specific resin. Furthermore, the specific resin preferably has polymerizable groups, and more preferably contains radical polymerizable groups. When a specific resin has radical polymerizable groups, the resin composition of the present invention preferably contains a radical polymerization initiator as described below, and more preferably contains a radical polymerization initiator as described below and a radical crosslinking agent as described below. Furthermore, it may optionally contain a sensitizer as described below. A negative-type photosensitive film can be formed from such a resin composition of the present invention. Furthermore, the specific resin may have polarity-converting groups such as acid-degradable groups. When a specific resin has an acid-degradable group, the resin composition of the present invention preferably contains a photoacid generator as described below. From such a resin composition of the present invention, for example, a chemically amplified positive-type or negative-type photosensitive film can be formed. Furthermore, if the specific resin has polymerizable groups, it is preferable that the specific resin has polymerizable groups that can polymerize with the specific polymerizable compound. In this embodiment, polymerization proceeds between the specific resin and the specific polymerizable compound, and it is presumed that the specific polymerizable compound is distributed at intervals in the polymer formed by polymerization. As a result, it is less likely that there will be a bias in the location of base generation in the film, and for example, the ring closure of the precursor of the cyclized resin is more easily promoted, or the polymerization of the polymerizable compound that polymerizes with the base is more easily promoted. For example, one preferred embodiment of the present invention is one in which a specific resin has radical polymerizable groups and a specific polymerizable compound has radical polymerizable groups.
[0018] [Polyimide precursor] The polyimide precursor used in this invention is not particularly limited in type, but it is preferable that it contains repeating units represented by the following formula (2).

Examples of divalent organic groups include groups containing linear or branched aliphatic groups, cyclic aliphatic groups, and aromatic groups. Preferably, the group consists of a linear or branched aliphatic group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, a cyclic aliphatic group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, an aromatic group having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, or a combination thereof, and more preferably, a group containing an aromatic group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms. In the linear or branched aliphatic group, the hydrocarbon group in the chain may be substituted with a group containing a heteroatom, and in the cyclic aliphatic group and aromatic group, the hydrocarbon group of the ring member may be substituted with a group containing a heteroatom. As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the group is exemplified by groups represented by -Ar- and -Ar-L-Ar-, and particularly preferably by groups represented by -Ar-L-Ar-. However, Ar is an aromatic group independently, and L is a single bond, or a C1-C10 aliphatic hydrocarbon group which may be substituted with a fluorine atom, -O-, -CO-, -S-, -SO2-, or -NHCO-, or a combination of two or more of the above. The preferred ranges for these are as described above.

R3 is a hydrogen atom, a linear or branched alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an acyloxy group, or a cyclic alkyl group, and may be the same or different.
[0084] [ka] (In formula (A-sc), * indicates bonding to the aromatic ring of the aminophenol group of the bisaminophenol derivative represented by formula (As) above.)
[0085] In the above formula (As), having a substituent at the ortho position of the phenolic hydroxyl group, i.e., R3, is considered to bring the carbonyl carbon of the amide bond and the hydroxyl group closer together, and is particularly preferable because it further enhances the effect of high cyclization rate when cured at low temperatures.
[0086] Furthermore, in the above formula (As), it is preferable that R2 is an alkyl group and R3 is an alkyl group, as this maintains the effects of high transparency to i-lines and a high cyclization rate when cured at low temperatures.

Specific examples of alkylenes and substituted alkylenes for R1 include linear or branched alkyl groups having 1 to 8 carbon atoms.

By having an oxazole conversion rate of 85% or more, the membrane shrinkage due to ring closure that occurs when oxazole is converted by heating is reduced, and the occurrence of warping can be suppressed more effectively. The above oxazole conversion rate can be measured, for example, by the following method. The infrared absorption spectrum of polybenzoxazole was measured, and the absorption peak at 1650 cm², which originates from the amide structure of the precursor, was observed. -1 Determine the peak intensity Q1 in the vicinity. Next, 1490 cm -1 The absorption intensity of aromatic rings found nearby is used for normalization. After heat treatment of the polybenzoxazole at 350°C for 1 hour, the infrared absorption spectrum is measured again, and the spectroscopy is performed at 1650 cm⁻¹. -1 The peak intensity Q2 in the vicinity was calculated to be 1490 cm. -1 The absorption intensity of the aromatic rings observed nearby is used for normalization. Using the normalized peak intensities Q1 and Q2 obtained, the oxazole rate of polybenzoxazole can be determined based on the following formula. Oxazole conversion rate (%) = (Specific value of peak intensity Q1 / Specific value of peak intensity Q2) × 100

A specific polymerizable compound may have only one amide bond, or it may have two or more amide bonds. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of chemical resistance, it is preferable that the specific polymerizable compound does not have a polyalkylene oxy group in its structure.
[0142] [Polymerizable group] The polymerizable group in the specific polymerizable compound is not particularly limited and can include, for example, a radical polymerizable group or a cationic polymerizable group.

Furthermore, unless otherwise specified in the present invention, the descriptions of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, alkyl groups, alkylene groups, etc., include any structure represented by a linear, branched, cyclic, or combination thereof. Examples of the above-mentioned aromatic hydrocarbon groups include aromatic hydrocarbon groups having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, and groups obtained by removing multiple hydrogen atoms from a benzene ring or a naphthalene ring are preferred, with groups obtained by removing multiple hydrogen atoms from a benzene ring being more preferred. From the viewpoint of the elongation at break and chemical resistance of the resulting cured product, the linking group preferably contains an aliphatic hydrocarbon ring group or an aromatic hydrocarbon group as the hydrocarbon group, more preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon group, and even more preferably a group obtained by removing multiple hydrogen atoms from a benzene ring.

[0147] Among these, hydrocarbon groups substituted with hydroxyl groups or hydrocarbon groups substituted with carboxyl groups are more preferred as linking groups. The preferred embodiment of the hydrocarbon group in the linking group is as described above.
[0148] [Binding position] In the specific polymerizable compound, the above amide bond is connected to the linking group on the carbonyl group side. In specific polymerizable compounds, the carbonyl group side of the amide bond refers to the side marked with * in the above-mentioned (*-C(=O)NH-#) or (*-C(=O)NR-#). Furthermore, from the viewpoint of the fracture elongation of the resulting cured product, it is preferable that the specific polymerizable compound does not have a polymerizable group on the amino group side of the amide bond (the # side in the (*-C(=O)NH-#) or (*-C(=O)NR-#) mentioned above).
[0149] [Base generation ability] When a monopolymer is synthesized using a specific polymerizable compound, the monopolymer exhibits the property of generating bases that are released from the main chain upon heating to 250°C. Specifically, when a particular polymerizable compound has a radical polymerizable group, V-601 (Dimethyl 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionate)) is used as a polymerization initiator, and the polymerization reaction is carried out in the solvent cyclohexanone to synthesize a monopolymer with a molecular weight of approximately 10,000. When a specific polymerizable compound has a cationic polymerizable group, a polymerization reaction is carried out in cyclohexanone solvent using p-toluenesulfonic acid as a polymerization initiator to synthesize a monopolymer with a molecular weight of approximately 10,000. Subsequently, when the obtained monopolymer is collected by filtration and heated in a sealed container under conditions of 1 atmosphere, 250°C, and 3 hours, if one or more percent of the amide bonds derived from the specific polymerizable compound generate bases, then the monopolymer is deemed to exhibit the property of generating bases that are released from the main chain upon heating to 250°C. The above percentage is preferably 10% or more, and more preferably 30% or more. There is no particular upper limit, and it may be 100%. Furthermore, it is preferable that the specific polymerizable compound retains a lactone structure in the resin after generating a base by the above heating, rather than retaining an acid anhydride group.
[0150] 〔base〕 From the viewpoint of the fracture elongation of the resulting cured product, the base generated from the specific polymerizable compound is preferably an amine, and more preferably a secondary amine. Furthermore, when an amine is generated from a specific polymerizable compound, the amine may be an aliphatic amine or an aromatic amine, but from the viewpoint of suppressing shrinkage of the cured film, it is preferable that the amine has an aromatic ring structure. The above aromatic ring structure is not particularly limited, but it is preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon ring structure, and more preferably a benzene ring structure. The molecular weight of the generated base is preferably 70 to 500, more preferably 80 to 300, and even more preferably 90 to 220. The generated base is preferably a base whose conjugate acid has a pKa of 0 or greater, more preferably a base with a pKa of 3 or greater, and even more preferably a base with a pKa of 6 or greater. The lower limit of the pKa of the conjugate acid is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 30 or less. pKa is the negative common logarithm of the equilibrium constant Ka, expressed as pKa, when considering a dissociation reaction in which hydrogen ions are released from an acid. In this specification, unless otherwise specified, pKa values are calculated using ACD / ChemSketch®. If there are multiple pKa values for the above-mentioned conjugate acids, it is preferable that at least one of them falls within the above range.
[0151] Specific examples of the bases that are generated are not limited to the following, but include, for example, bases with the following structure. [ka] Furthermore, the dimethylpiperidine ring in the above structure exists in both cis and trans forms, and either is acceptable. However, from the viewpoint of the fracture elongation of the resulting cured product, the cis form is preferred. The trans isomer has a slightly bulkier area around the nitrogen atom compared to the cis isomer. This allows the substrate compound to approach the nitrogen atom at the active site more easily in the cis isomer, improving the imidation promotion effect and resulting in superior elongation at break. On the other hand, even the cis isomer has a certain degree of bulkiness that makes it less reactive with resins. For these reasons, the cis isomer maintains other properties while exhibiting superior elongation at break compared to the trans isomer.

[ka] In formula (1-1), R 1 Each is independently a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group, and the two R 1 They may bond to form a ring structure, R 2 Each is independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or a monovalent organic group, and at least two R 2 They may bond to form a ring structure, L 1 This represents a trivalent organic group.

R 1 The group is preferably a hydrocarbon group, more preferably an alkyl group, an aromatic hydrocarbon group, or a combination thereof, even more preferably an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, an aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, or a combination thereof, and particularly preferably an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. The alkyl group may be linear, branched, or cyclic, but from the viewpoint of improving elongation at break, a branched alkyl group (e.g., isopropyl group, isobutyl group, sec-butyl group, 2-ethylhexyl group, etc.) or a cyclic alkyl group (e.g., cyclohexyl group, etc.) is preferred. R 1The compound may have substituents, and examples of substituents include halogen atoms, alkoxy groups, aryloxy groups, alkylcarbonyl groups, arylcarbonyl groups, hydroxyl groups, and the group represented by the above formula (R-1).

[0261] Furthermore, the photoradical polymerization initiator may be a compound described in paragraphs 0048-0055 of International Publication No. 2015 / 125469, which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0262] As the photoradical polymerization initiator, a bifunctional or trifunctional or higher photoradical polymerization initiator may be used. By using such a photoradical polymerization initiator, two or more radicals are generated from one molecule of the photoradical polymerization initiator, thus providing good sensitivity. Furthermore, when an asymmetric compound is used, the crystallinity decreases and solubility in solvents improves, making it less likely to precipitate over time and improving the long-term stability of the resin composition. Specific examples of bifunctional or trifunctional or more photoradical polymerization initiators include dimers of oxime compounds described in JP 2010-527339, JP 2011-524436, International Publication No. 2015 / 004565, paragraphs 0407-0412 of JP 2016-532675, and paragraphs 0039-0055 of International Publication No. 2017 / 033680, as well as compounds (E) and (G) described in JP 2013-522445, and International Publication No. 2016 / 0 Examples include Cmpd1-7 described in Patent No. 34963, oxime ester photoinitiators described in paragraph 0007 of Japanese Patent Publication No. 2017-523465, photoinitiators described in paragraphs 0020-0033 of Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2017-167399, photopolymerization initiators (A) described in paragraphs 0017-0026 of Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2017-151342, and oxime ester photoinitiators described in Japanese Patent No. 6469669, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

If two or more types of photopolymerization initiators are included, it is preferable that the total amount is within the above range. Furthermore, since photopolymerization initiators can also function as thermal polymerization initiators, heating with an oven or hot plate may further accelerate the crosslinking process by the photopolymerization initiator.
[0264] [Sensitizer] The resin composition may contain a sensitizer. The sensitizer absorbs specific active radiation and enters an electronically excited state. When the sensitizer enters an electronically excited state, it comes into contact with thermal radical polymerization initiators, photoradical polymerization initiators, etc., causing electron transfer, energy transfer, and heat generation. As a result, the thermal radical polymerization initiators and photoradical polymerization initiators undergo chemical changes and decompose, generating radicals, acids, or bases.

Other sensitizing dyes may also be used. For details regarding the sensitizing dye, please refer to paragraphs 0161 to 0163 of Japanese Patent Publication No. 2016-027357, which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0265] If the resin composition contains a sensitizer, the sensitizer content is preferably 0.01 to 20% by mass, more preferably 0.1 to 15% by mass, and even more preferably 0.5 to 10% by mass, based on the total solid content of the resin composition. The sensitizer may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.
[0266] [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). Examples of chain transfer agents include compounds having -SS-, -SO2-S-, -NO-, SH, PH, SiH, and GeH in their molecules, as well as dithiobenzoates, trithiocarbonates, dithiocarbamates, and xanthanthate compounds having a thiocarbonylthio group used in RAFT (Reversible Addition Fragmentation Chain Transfer) polymerization. These can generate radicals by donating hydrogen to low-activity radicals, or by generating radicals after oxidation and deprotonation. Thiol compounds are particularly preferred.
[0267] Furthermore, the chain transfer agent may be a compound described in paragraphs 0152-0153 of International Publication No. 2015 / 199219, which is incorporated herein by reference.

If there are two or more types of chain transfer agents, it is preferable that their total content is within the above range.
[0269] <Base Generator> The resin composition of the present invention may contain a base-generating agent. Here, a base-generating agent is a compound that can generate a base by physical or chemical action. Preferred base-generating agents for the resin composition of the present invention include thermal base-generating agents and photobase-generating agents. However, compounds that fall under the category of specific polymerizable compounds as described above are not considered base-generating agents as defined in this invention. In particular, when the resin composition contains a precursor of a cyclized resin, it is preferable that the resin composition also contains a base generator. By including a thermal base generator in the resin composition, the cyclization reaction of the precursor can be promoted, for example by heating, resulting in a cured product with good mechanical properties and chemical resistance, and thus good performance as an interlayer insulating film for redistribution layers included in semiconductor packages. The base generator can be either an ionic or nonionic base generator. Examples of bases generated from the base generator include secondary amines and tertiary amines. There are no particular restrictions on the base-generating agent according to the present invention, and known base-generating agents can be used. Examples of known base-generating agents include carbamoyloxime compounds, carbamoylhydroxylamine compounds, carbamic acid compounds, formamide compounds, acetamide compounds, carbamate compounds, benzylcarbamate compounds, nitrobenzylcarbamate compounds, sulfonamide compounds, imidazole derivative compounds, amineimide compounds, pyridine derivative compounds, α-aminoacetophenone derivative compounds, quaternary ammonium salt derivative compounds, pyridinium salts, α-lactone ring derivative compounds, amineimide compounds, phthalimide derivative compounds, acyloxyimino compounds, and the like.

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 at a rotation speed of 500 to 3,500 rpm for about 10 seconds to 3 minutes.
