[0084] The above-described photosensitive resin composition can be used in the manufacture of electronic devices. For example, the above-described photosensitive resin composition can be used as a dam material. That is, the above-described photosensitive resin composition may be a dam material (a dam material for manufacturing electronic devices; a dam material composition).

[0085] The dam material is a material that forms a dam (a cured product of the dam material) that suppresses the outflow of underfill material used in the manufacture of electronic devices (semiconductor devices) to seal connection bumps between a semiconductor element and a substrate in a semiconductor device, to seal semiconductor elements having a multilayer structure such as flip-chip (FC) mounting, through-silicon via (TSV) connection, etc. More specifically, as shown in Figure 1, an electronic device 10 includes a substrate 1, a semiconductor element 2 disposed on the substrate 1, connection bumps 3 that join the substrate 1 and the semiconductor element 2, an underfill material 4 that fills the gap between the substrate 1 and the semiconductor element 2, and a dam material (or a cured product of the dam material) 5 disposed on the substrate 1, and the dam material 5 suppresses the outflow of the underfill material 4.

[0086] In recent years, there has been a demand for higher-density packaging, making it necessary to narrow the spacing between semiconductor packages. However, narrowing the spacing between semiconductor packages has been difficult because the underfill material overflows from the semiconductor package. By forming a dam, the underfill material can be filled into gaps such as between a semiconductor element and a substrate, or between semiconductor elements, without overflowing from the substrate. By using the above-described photosensitive resin composition as a dam material, it is possible to suppress the overflow of the underfill. The dam (or the cured product of the dam material) may have, for example, a width of 50 to 300 μm and a thickness of 100 to 300 μm.

[0087] The photosensitive resin composition can be suitably used for forming a molded body. The molded body can be formed, for example, by irradiating the photosensitive resin composition with light (wavelength 365 to 405 nm) to cure it. After curing by light irradiation (primary curing), the composition may be further heated (for example, at 100 to 200°C for 1 to 8 hours) to perform secondary curing. That is, another embodiment of the present invention is a molded body that is a cured product of the above-described photosensitive resin composition. Another embodiment of the present invention is a method for producing a molded body, comprising the steps of applying the above-described photosensitive resin composition to a substrate using a coating device and curing the photosensitive resin composition on the substrate by irradiating it with light.

[0088] The above-described photosensitive resin composition can be used in the manufacture of electronic devices. For example, when the above-described photosensitive resin composition is a dam material, the above-described photosensitive resin composition is applied to a substrate, and the photosensitive resin composition is cured to form a dam on the substrate. This prevents the underfill material from flowing out, and enables sealing of connection bumps between a semiconductor element and the substrate, flip-chip (FC) mounting, encapsulation of semiconductor elements having a multilayer structure such as through-silicon via (TSV) connections, etc., to manufacture electronic devices. That is, another embodiment of the present invention is an electronic device including a cured product of the above-described photosensitive resin composition. Another embodiment of the present invention is a method for manufacturing an electronic device, comprising the steps of applying the above-described photosensitive resin composition to a substrate using an application device and irradiating the photosensitive resin composition on the substrate with light to cure it.

[0089] The molded article may have a portion whose shortest distance to its surface (the outer surface that can be irradiated with light) is 400 μm or more, 600 μm or more, or 700 μm or more. Even when forming a molded article having such a portion (deep portion) far from the surface, the portion (deep portion) can be sufficiently cured by using the photosensitive resin composition of this embodiment.

The inorganic filler in the amount shown in Table 1 was placed in a 50 mL container (product name: Eye-Boy) and mixed for 5 minutes. Mixed Solution 1, which had been returned to room temperature (25°C), was then added to the container containing the inorganic filler and stirred at 2000 rpm for 10 minutes using a planetary centrifugal mixer (manufactured by Thinky Corporation, product name: Awatori Rentaro), followed by vibration degassing at 2200 rpm for 5 minutes to obtain a photosensitive resin composition.

A Teflon (registered trademark) sheet (with a rectangular opening of 50 mm in length and 10 mm in width) was fixed on the substrate film, varnish was poured into the opening, and a photosensitive resin composition was applied to the substrate film using a squeegee. Next, the photosensitive resin composition was irradiated with light (light intensity 800 mW / cm) for 30 seconds using a fiber light source type LED spot UV irradiation device (manufactured by Ushio Inc., trade name: Spot Cure SPL-2, irradiation wavelength: 365 nm). 2) to obtain a film for evaluation.

The stress-strain curve of the test specimen was measured using an autograph (Shimadzu Corporation, product name: EZ-LX), and the elongation and modulus of elasticity were determined from the stress-strain curve. The chuck distance during measurement was set to 20 mm, the tensile speed was set to 50 mm / min, and measurements were performed a total of four times. The elongation at which the test specimen broke was measured as the elongation. The thickness and average elongation of the evaluation film are shown in Table 1.
