Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a photosensitive resin composition, a method for manufacturing a polyimide curing film using the same, and the polyimide curing film. Prior Technology
[0002] Previously, polyimide resins and polystyrene resins, which possess excellent heat resistance, electrical properties, and mechanical properties, were used for insulating materials of electronic components and passivation films, surface protective films, and interlayer insulating films of semiconductor devices. Azole resins, phenolic resins, etc. Among these resins, those provided in the form of photosensitive resin compositions can be obtained through coating, exposure, development, and ring-closing treatments (such as acetylation, benzo[] ] curing. It can be easily formed into a heat-resistant textured film by azoleization or thermal crosslinking. Compared with previous non-photosensitive materials, this photosensitive resin composition has the characteristic of significantly shortening the steps and is used in the fabrication of semiconductor devices.
[0003] However, semiconductor devices (hereinafter also referred to as "components") are mounted on printed circuit boards using various methods depending on their purpose. Previously, components were typically manufactured using wire bonding, a method that connects fine wires from the external terminals (pads) of the component to the lead frame. However, with the continuous increase in component speed and operating frequencies reaching GHz, the difference in wire lengths between the terminals during mounting has affected component operation. Therefore, in the mounting of high-end components, precise control of the mounting wire length is required, and wire bonding is insufficient to meet these requirements.
[0004] Therefore, flip-chip mounting has been proposed, in which a rewiring layer is formed on the surface of a semiconductor wafer, and bumps (electrodes) are formed on it. The wafer is then flip-chip mounted directly onto a printed circuit board. This flip-chip mounting method allows for precise control of wiring distances and is therefore used in high-end components processing high-speed signals. Furthermore, due to its smaller mounting size, it is used in mobile phones and other applications where demand is rapidly increasing. More recently, a semiconductor wafer mounting technology called fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) has been proposed. This involves dicing a wafer after previous steps to create a single wafer, then reconstructing the single wafer onto a support and sealing it with molding resin. The support is then peeled off to form the rewiring layer (e.g., Patent Document 1). In fan-out wafer-level packaging, the rewiring layer is formed with a thinner film thickness, thus enabling highly thin packages and achieving high-speed transmission and low cost.
[0005] In recent years, with the significant increase in information and communication volume, there is a need to achieve communication speeds exceeding previous levels. This has necessitated a shift towards 5G communication using frequencies above 3 GHz, or near-millimeter wave bands (20 GHz~30 GHz) to millimeter wave bands (above 30 GHz) where wider bandwidth can be easily ensured. This shift applies not only to printed circuit boards but also to semiconductor chips mounted on those boards. Therefore, to reduce transmission loss, antenna-in-package (AiP) devices have been developed that integrate the front-end module (FEM) for transmitting and receiving radio waves with the antenna (see, for example, Patent Document 2 below). AiPs have shorter wiring lengths, thus suppressing transmission losses that increase proportionally to wiring length. However, as communication bandwidth increases, low dielectric properties are required for the rewiring materials. Furthermore, like previous FOWLP devices, AiPs require multiple rewiring layers, thus necessitating planarization of these layers.
[0006] As a solution to the aforementioned problems, two main methods are considered to reduce transmission loss at high frequencies: methods to reduce dielectric loss and methods to reduce conductor loss. Regarding the former, low dielectric properties (low dielectric loss factor, low dielectric constant) are required for the photosensitive resin composition, as exemplified by Patent Documents 3, 4, and 5. However, in Patent Document 3, since the measurement frequency is as low as 1 GHz, the redistribution layer for AiP applications at high frequencies is insufficient. In Patent Document 4, since polyimide precursor resin is blended with polyimide resin, concerns arise regarding the storage stability of the photosensitive resin composition or phase separation during coating. In Patent Document 5, a partially amided polyimide precursor is produced in the varnish by heating and curing a varnish containing polyimide precursor resin. However, due to the difficulty in controlling the amide ratio, there are problems with the uniformity of spin coating, making it difficult to achieve high resolution.
[0007] As a method for planarizing the rewiring layer, methods to suppress the hardening shrinkage of the rewiring layer are considered, with Patent Document 6 as an example. In Patent Document 6, high planarization is achieved by using polyfunctional (meth)acrylates on the polyimide resin. However, no description is made of the dielectric properties, raising concerns that the large amount of polyfunctional (meth)acrylates may lead to a deterioration of the dielectric properties at high frequencies.

[0009] [The problem the invention aims to solve] In recent years, the diversification of packaging and mounting technologies has led to a greater variety of support types and multi-layered rewiring layers. Consequently, the dielectric constant or dielectric loss factor (tanδ) of the insulating materials used to form the wiring has become more influential. Higher dielectric constants or dielectric loss factors result in increased dielectric loss, leading to increased transmission losses. Polyimide resins are considered reliable due to their excellent insulation and thermomechanical properties. However, the influence of polar functional groups derived from propylene, polar functional groups added for photosensitive properties, and additives can result in higher dielectric constants or dielectric loss factors, which is considered a problem. Furthermore, there are instances where the multi-layered rewiring layers have caused flatness issues due to low curing shrinkage.
[0010] The purpose of this invention is to provide a photosensitive resin composition having low dielectric properties, low hardening shrinkage, good storage stability, reduced phase separation during coating, and the ability to form a hardened embossed pattern with high resolution and high copper adhesion, as well as a method for manufacturing a polyimide hardened film using the same and the polyimide hardened film.

Implementation
[0013] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail. In this specification, when multiple structures represented by the same symbol in a general formula exist in a molecule, unless otherwise specified, they are selected independently, and may be the same or different. Similarly, structures represented by a common symbol in different general formulas are also selected independently, unless otherwise specified, and may be the same or different.
[0014] <Photosensitive Resin Composition> The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention comprises: (A) 100 parts by weight of a copolymer resin containing a specific polyimide and a polyimide precursor, (B) 0.5 to 30 parts by weight of a photopolymerization initiator, and (C) 100 to 1000 parts by weight of a solvent.

[0015] (A) Copolymer resin containing polyimide and polyimide precursor The copolymer resin containing polyimide and polyimide precursor (hereinafter also referred to as "copolymer resin") preferably contains the structure represented by the following general formula (1). General formula (1): [Chemistry 5] In formula (1), X1, X2, and X3 are each independently a tetravalent organic group with 6 to 40 carbon atoms, and Y1 and Y2 are each independently a divalent organic group with 6 to 40 carbon atoms. X1, X2, and X3 may be the same or different, and Y1 and Y2 may be the same or different. n1 is an integer from 2 to 30. n2 and n3 are each independently an integer from 2 to 150. In this invention, the unit of n1 in formula (1) is called the "polyimide block portion", the unit of n2 is called the "polyimide-polyimide precursor portion", and the unit of n3 is called the "polyimide precursor portion". In formula (1), for simplicity, only one polyimide-polyimide precursor portion and one polyimide precursor portion are recorded, but the copolymer resin may randomly have multiple polyimide-polyimide precursor portions and multiple polyimide precursor portions.
[0016] In formula (1), Z3, Z4, Z5, and Z6 are each independently a monovalent organic group, but at least one of them is a photopolymerizable functional group. The photopolymerizable functional group preferably contains a reactive unsaturated bond that polymerizes by light. Z3, Z4, Z5, and Z6 are more preferably formed with the carbonyl group (-C(=O)-) to which they are directly bonded to form an ester bond (hereinafter referred to as "ester bond type") or an amide bond (hereinafter referred to as "amide bond type"). When Z3, Z4, Z5, and Z6 are ester-type side chains, they can be represented as R1O-, R2O-, R3O-, and R4O-, respectively. When Z3, Z4, Z5, and Z6 are amide-type side chains, they can be represented as R1NH-, R2NH-, R3NH-, and R4NH-, respectively. Z3, Z4, Z5, and Z6 can all be ester-type, all be amide-type, or a combination of ester-type and amide-type.
[0017] In formula (1), R1, R2, R3, and R4 are each independently a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms. However, at least one of R1, R2, R3, and R4 is a photopolymerizable functional group, which may be selected from at least one group selected from (meth)acryloxyalkyl, allyl, ethynyl, and styryl, with (meth)acryloxyalkyl being more preferred. Z3, Z4, Z5, and Z6 are further preferably photopolymerizable functional groups comprising the general formula (2) below. General formula (2): [Chemistry 6] In formula (2), R5, R6, and R7 are each independently a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and m1 is an integer of 2 to 10. Examples of the monovalent organic group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, and isopropyl, with methyl being preferred. R5 is preferably a hydrogen atom or methyl, R6 and R7 are preferably a hydrogen atom or methyl, and more preferably a hydrogen atom. m1 is preferably an integer of 2 to 5, and more preferably an integer of 2 to 3. Z3, Z4, Z5, and Z6 are preferably an ester bond type represented by R1O-, R2O-, R3O-, and R4O-, an amide bond type represented by R1NH-, R2NH-, R3NH-, and R4NH-, or a combination thereof, and R1, R2, R3, and R4 are further preferably each independently a photopolymerizable functional group represented by the above general formula (2).
[0018] In the copolymer resin containing polyimide and a polyimide precursor, the ratio of the number of moles of the polyimide-imide precursor portion (units of n2) to the total number of moles of the polyimide-imide precursor portion (units of n2) and the polyimide precursor portion (units of n3) (hereinafter, also referred to as "imide structure introduction rate") satisfies 0.10 < n2 / (n2 + n3) < 0.90. Thereby, a photosensitive resin composition can be obtained in which the cured polyimide has low dielectric properties, low curing shrinkage, good storage stability, and can form a cured embossed pattern with high resolution.
[0019] By including the structure represented by the above general formula (1), a cured film with good resolution of the embossed pattern, low dielectric properties, and low curing shrinkage can be obtained. Although not bound by theory, it is considered that by having a polyimide block portion (units of n1) and a polyimide precursor structure (i.e., the imide precursor structure in the units of n2 and n3) in the same molecule, and allowing the polyimide-imide precursor portion to exist at a specific ratio, the swelling of the exposed portion is suppressed, and it is easy to ensure the contrast with the unexposed portion, so the resolution of the embossed pattern is improved. Also, it is considered that since a part of the copolymer resin has a polyimide block portion, the detached portion of the side chain structure during ring closure is reduced, whereby the curing shrinkage is suppressed and low dielectric properties can be exhibited. Furthermore, by having a polyimide block portion and a polyimide precursor structure in the same molecule, a polyimide structure with low solubility can be stably present in the photosensitive resin composition solution (hereinafter, also referred to as "varnish"). It is considered that the storage stability of the varnish is not impaired thereby. On the other hand, when an imide structure is formed by heating a varnish containing a polyimide precursor resin, since a photosensitive group detached from the side chain structure remains in the varnish, the curing shrinkage becomes large.
[0020] From the perspective of resolution, low dielectric properties, and low hardening shrinkage, the amide structure incorporation rate is preferably 0.10~0.90. From the perspective of resolution, the amide structure incorporation rate is preferably low. From the perspective of low dielectric properties and low hardening shrinkage, n2 / (n2+n3) is preferably high. Therefore, the amide structure incorporation rate is more preferably 0.20~0.90, further preferably 0.30~0.90, further preferably 0.40~0.90, especially preferably 0.43~0.80, and even more preferably 0.45~0.75.
[0021] Based on the considerations of resolution, low dielectric properties, and low curing shrinkage, the ratio of the copolymer resin represented by the above general formula (1) to the total mass of the copolymer containing polyimide and polyimide precursor in (A) is preferably 25% by mass or more, more preferably 35% by mass or more, even more preferably 50% by mass or more, particularly preferably 75% by mass or more, particularly preferably 90% by mass or more, particularly preferably 95% by mass or more, and most preferably 100% by mass.
[0022] From the perspective of the photosensitivity and mechanical properties of the photosensitive resin composition, n2 in the above general formula (1) is preferably an integer from 3 to 100, and more preferably an integer from 5 to 70. From the perspective of photosensitivity and mechanical properties, n3 is preferably an integer from 3 to 100, and more preferably an integer from 5 to 70. From the perspective of coatability and dielectric loss factor, n1 is preferably an integer from 2 to 30, and more preferably an integer from 5 to 20. The larger n1 is, the higher the amide structure induction rate and the better the dielectric loss factor. On the other hand, if n1 is too large, the coatability will be impaired, so its balance is more important.
[0023] In the above general formula (1), considering both heat resistance and photosensitivity, the tetravalent organogroups represented by X1, X2, and X3 are preferably organogroups with 6 to 40 carbon atoms, more preferably aromatic groups with -COOR1 and -COOR2 groups adjacent to -CONH- groups, or alicyclic aliphatic groups. Specifically, as the tetravalent organogroups represented by X1, X2, and X3, examples can be organogroups with 6 to 40 carbon atoms containing an aromatic ring, such as those having the following general formula (3): [Chemistry 7] {In formula (3), R 11 is a monovalent group selected from the group composed of hydrogen atoms, fluorine atoms, C1~C10 hydrocarbon groups, and C1~C10 fluorinated hydrocarbon groups, m 5 is an integer of 1~2, m 6 is an integer of 1~3, and m 7 is an integer of 1~4}, but is not limited to these. The tetravalent organic groups represented by X 1, X 2, and X 3 can be one type or a combination of two or more types. The X 1, X 2, and X 3 groups having the structure represented by the above formula (3) are particularly advantageous in terms of both heat resistance and photosensitive properties.
[0024] Based on the viewpoints of resolution and low dielectric properties, X1, X2 and X3 in the above general formula (1) are preferably structures that include the structure represented by the following general formula (4). General formula (4): [Chemistry 8] {In the formula, R8 and R9 are organic groups with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, m2 and m3 are integers selected from 0 to 4, satisfying m2 + m3 ≥ 1, Z1 is selected from any group consisting of single bonds, organic groups with 1 to 30 carbon atoms, and organic groups containing heteroatoms; *The two in the formula refer to the bonds bonded to the main chain of the resin, and the other two refer to the bonds bonded to the side chains in the above general formula (1) (i.e., Z3-(C=O)- and Z4-(C=O)-, or Z5-(C=O)- and Z6-(C=O)-)} [Chemistry 9] {In the formula, Z2 is selected from any of the following groups: single bonds, organic groups with 1 to 30 carbon atoms, and organic groups containing heteroatoms; *in the formula, two refer to bonds to the main chain of the resin, and the other two refer to bonds to the side chains in the above general formula (1)}
[0025] In the above general formula (4), the organic groups represented by R8 and R9, which have 1 to 10 carbon atoms, are preferably linear or branched alkyl groups. By introducing alkyl groups into the aromatic ring, the solubility of the (A) copolymer resin in the developer is improved, making it easier to ensure the contrast with the exposed area and improve the resolution of the raised pattern. Furthermore, by introducing alkyl groups into the aromatic ring, the polarizability is reduced, thus achieving low dielectric properties.
[0026] From the perspective of chemical resistance, R8 and R9 in the above general formula (4) are preferably organic groups with 1 to 4 carbons, more preferably alkyl groups with 1 to 4 carbons, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl, and especially methyl.
[0027] In the above general formula (1), the structures represented by X1, X2 and X3 are preferably at least one of the structures selected from the group consisting of the following general formula (5). General formula (5): [Chemistry 10] {*The two in the above refer to the main chain of the resin, and the other two refer to the side chains in the above general formula (1)} The structures of X1, X2 and X3 in the above general formula (1) are not limited to the structures listed in (3), (4) and (5) above. The above structures can be one type or a combination of two or more types.
[0028] In the above general formula (1), the divalent organic groups represented by Y1 and Y2 are aliphatic chains (alkyl groups) with 6 to 40 carbon atoms, preferably 6 to 20 carbon atoms, such as heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, and undecyl; and aromatic groups with 6 to 40 carbon atoms. Considering both heat resistance and photosensitivity, aromatic groups are preferred, and more preferably aromatic groups with 6 to 40 carbon atoms, such as those having the following general formula (6): [Chemistry 11] {In formula (6), R11 is a monovalent group selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atoms, fluorine atoms, C1~C10 hydrocarbon groups, and C1~C10 fluorinated hydrocarbon groups, m6 is an integer from 1 to 3, and m7 is an integer from 1 to 4}, but is not limited to these. The divalent organic groups represented by Y1 and Y2 can be one type or a combination of two or more types. Y1 and Y2 groups having the structure represented by formula (6) above are particularly advantageous in terms of both heat resistance and photosensitive properties.
[0029] From the perspective of resolution and low dielectric properties, Y1 and / or Y2 in the above general formula (1) are preferably structures that include the structure represented by the following general formula (7). General formula (7): [Chemistry 12] {In the formula, R8 and R9 are organic groups with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, m2 and m3 are integers selected from 0 to 4, satisfying m2 + m3 ≥ 1, and Z1 is selected from any group consisting of single bonds, organic groups with 1 to 30 carbon atoms, and organic groups containing heteroatoms; *means bonded to the main chain of the resin}
[0030] In the above general formula (7), the organic groups represented by R8 and R9, which have 1 to 10 carbon atoms, are preferably linear or branched alkyl groups. By introducing alkyl groups into the aromatic ring, the solubility of the (A) copolymer resin in the developer is improved, making it easier to ensure the contrast with the exposed area and improving the resolution of the embossed pattern. Furthermore, by introducing alkyl groups into the aromatic ring, the polarizability is reduced, thus achieving low dielectric properties.
[0031] From the perspective of chemical resistance, R8 and R9 in the above general formula (7) are preferably organic groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, more preferably alkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl, and especially methyl. As an example of the above general formula (7), it is preferable to include at least one structure selected from the group consisting of the following general formula (8). General formula (8): [Chemistry 13] *This refers to the bonds formed in the main chain of the resin.
[0032] In the above general formula (1), the structures represented by Y1 and Y2 are preferably at least one of the structures selected from the group consisting of the following general formula (9). General formula (9): [Chemistry 14] * indicates that it is bonded to the main chain of the resin. The structures of Y1 and Y2 in the above general formula (1) are not limited to the structures exemplified in (6) to (9) above. The above structures can be one type or a combination of two or more types.
[0033] From the perspective of suppressing copper corrosion during the thermosetting process, it is preferable that at least one or all of X1, X2, X3, Y1, and Y2 in the above general formula (1) are free of halogen atoms. That is, the copolymer resin (A) is more preferably free of halogen atoms.
[0034] In the copolymer resin (A), it is preferable that at least one of X1, X2, and X3, which are backbone components derived from a tetracarboxylic acid compound, and Y1 and Y2, which are backbone components derived from a diamine compound, has two or more benzene rings. The two or more benzene rings can be bonded to each other directly or through divalent or higher organic groups. The number of benzene rings can be three or more, or four or more, but less than six, five or less, or less than four, more preferably four. Furthermore, it is preferable that the total number of carbon atoms constituting X1, X2, and X3, which represent the structure derived from the tetracarboxylic acid compound, and Y1 and Y2, which represent the structure derived from the diamine compound, is greater than 39. By giving the copolymer resin (A) this structure, there is a tendency to maintain the resolution of the negative photosensitive resin composition and achieve low dielectric properties in the obtained hardened embossed pattern.
[0035] In the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention, the amide group concentration U in the polyimide of the polyimide cured film obtained by heating and curing the photosensitive resin composition is 12 wt% to 26 wt%. In the specification of this application, "amide group concentration U" refers to the ratio of the molecular weight of amide groups to the molecular weight of repeating units comprising structures derived from tetracarboxylic dianhydride and diamine compounds in the polyimide of the polyimide cured film obtained by heating and curing the photosensitive resin composition at 350°C. The reason for using 350°C for heating and curing is to clarify the basis for the aliphatic hydrocarbon group concentration T by using a state in which the (A) copolymer resin is approximately 100% amide-iminated as a benchmark, and it is not intended that the photosensitive resin composition be heated and cured at 350°C in actual use.
[0036] If the amide group concentration U is 12.0 wt% or higher, the resolution of the raised pattern tends to improve. The amide group concentration U is preferably 15 wt% or higher, and more preferably 17.5 wt% or higher. On the other hand, by keeping the amide group concentration U at 26 wt% or lower, the dielectric loss factor of the obtained polyimide cured film tends to improve. The amide group concentration U is more preferably 23.0 wt% or lower, and even more preferably 20.5 wt% or lower.
[0037] The amide group concentration U in the repeating unit of the polyimide hardened film is determined by the molecular weight of the tetracarboxylic dianhydride and the molecular weight of the diamine compound used in the preparation of the (A) copolymer resin, as shown in the following formula (I): 70.02×2 / [Mw(A)+Mw(B)-36]×100 (I) {In formula (I), Mw(A) represents the molecular weight of the tetracarboxylic dianhydride, and Mw(B) represents the molecular weight of the diamine}. Furthermore, when using two or more tetracarboxylic dianhydrides and / or diamine compounds, for example, when preparing the product using two tetracarboxylic dianhydrides and / or diamines, it is represented by the following formula (II): 70.02×2 / [Mw(A1)×a 1+Mw(A2)×a 2+Mw(B1)×b 1+Mw(B2)×b 2-36]×100 (II) In formula (II), Mw(A1) represents the molecular weight of the first tetracarboxylic dianhydride, Mw(A2) represents the molecular weight of the second tetracarboxylic dianhydride, a1 represents the content of the first tetracarboxylic dianhydride, a2 represents the content of the second tetracarboxylic dianhydride, Mw(B1) represents the molecular weight of the first diamine compound, Mw(B2) represents the molecular weight of the second diamine compound, b1 represents the content of the first diamine compound, and b2 represents the content of the second diamine compound; wherein a1, a2, b1, and b2 satisfy a1+a2=1 and b1+b2=1, respectively. When using three or more tetracarboxylic dianhydrides and / or diamines, the same method is used. When using tetracarboxylic acids and / or tetracarboxylic dichloro as raw materials, the calculation is performed using the corresponding mass of the tetracarboxylic dianhydride.
[0038] (A) The copolymer resin may also have other reactive substituents at the ends of the main chain, which are different from the photopolymerizable functional groups contained in its repeating units and are crosslinkable by heat or light. The reactive substituents at the ends are preferably groups having reactive unsaturated bonds that can crosslink with each other by heat or light. (A) The copolymer resin preferably has at least one of the structures represented by the following general formulas (E1) and (E2) at the ends of the main chain. By having such reactive substituents at the ends of the main chain of (A) the copolymer resin, a high-resolution negative photosensitive resin composition with further improved post-curing film retention or dielectric properties can be obtained.

R17, R18, and R19 are not simultaneously hydrogen atoms, and any one or both of R17, R18, and R19 are linked to the main chain structure. For ease of cross-linking and high chemical resistance due to low hydrolysis, f1 preferably contains at least one group selected from amide, amide, urea, and carbamate groups.
[0041] The reactive substituent b1, which undergoes crosslinking by heat or light, is preferably selected from at least one of the following: acrylic, methacrylic, vinyl, alkenyl, cycloalkenyl, alkyldienyl, cycloalkyldienyl, styryl, ethynyl, imino, isocyanate, cyanate, cycloalkyl, epoxy, oxetyl, carbonate, hydroxy, mercapto, hydroxymethyl, and alkoxyalkyl. From the viewpoint of film thickness uniformity, b1 is preferably selected from at least one of the following: acrylic, methacrylic, vinyl, alkenyl, cycloalkenyl, alkyldienyl, cycloalkyldienyl, styryl, and ethynyl. Methacrylic is particularly preferred.

[0044] [Chemistry 17]
[0045] (A) A method for manufacturing a copolymer comprising polyimide and a polyimide precursor. The method for manufacturing the copolymer comprising polyimide and polyimide precursor of the present invention includes the following steps: (i) A condensation reaction is carried out between a first tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride or its acid / substituent adduct and a first diamine compound to induce amide imidization, thereby obtaining a diamine oligomer having repeating units with a polyamide structure; (ii) To synthesize a polyimide-polyimide precursor moiety having a polyimide block portion by subjecting the above-mentioned diamine oligomer to a condensation reaction with a second tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride or its acid / substituent adduct; and (iii) The polyimide-polyimide precursor moiety is synthesized by reacting the above-mentioned polyimide-polyimide precursor moiety with a third tetracarboxylic dianhydride or its acid / substituent adduct and a second diamine compound.

Z3, Z4, Z5, and Z6, as described above, can be ester-type (hereinafter also referred to as "acid / ester body") or amide-type (hereinafter also referred to as "acid / amide body"). By using such acid / ester body or acid / amide body, ester-type or amide-type polyimide precursors can be prepared. As a preferred candidate for preparing ester-type or amide-type polyimide precursors, a tetravalent organic group X having 6 to 40 carbon atoms... The tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride 1 is not limited to tetracarboxylic acid dianhydrides derived from the structures listed above. Examples include: pyromellitic dianhydride, diphenyl ether-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride, benzophenone-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride, biphenyl-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride, diphenyl sulfonate-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride, diphenylmethane-3,3',4,4'-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride, 2,2-bis(3,4-phthalic anhydride)propane, 2,2-bis(3,4-phthalic anhydride)-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane, 4,4'-(4,4'-isopropylidenediphenoxy)diphthalic anhydride, 4,4'-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy)benzophenone dianhydride, etc. Tetracarboxylic acid dianhydrides can be used alone or in combination with two or more.
[0047] Using a tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride containing a tetravalent organic group X1 with 6 to 40 carbon atoms, reacting it with a compound having a reactive substituent (photopolymerizable functional group) that reacts with light (also referred to as a "substituent-introducing compound" in this invention), esterified or acetaminated tetracarboxylic acids (acid / ester or acid / acetamiprid) can be obtained. Alternatively, the aforementioned substituent-introducing compound can be used to introduce reactive substituents to the ends of the backbone of copolymer (A). The reaction sequence varies depending on the introduction method.
[0048] As a substituent-introducing compound (also referred to as "first substituent-introducing compound" in this invention) that can be preferably used to synthesize esterified tetracarboxylic acids (acid / ester body), examples include alcohols having photopolymerizable functional groups. Alcohols having photopolymerizable functional groups are preferably examples of alcohols containing the structure of general formula (2), such as 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 2-acryloyloxyethanol, 1-acryloyloxy-3-propanol, 2-acrylamidoethanol, hydroxymethyl vinyl ketone, 2-hydroxyethyl vinyl ketone, 2-hydroxy-3-methoxypropyl acrylate, 2-hydroxy-3-butoxypropyl acrylate, 2-hydroxy-3-phenoxypropyl acrylate, 2-hydroxy-3-butoxypropyl acrylate, 2-hydroxy-3-butoxypropyl acrylate, 2-hydroxy- 3-Tertiary butoxypropyl ester, 2-hydroxy-3-cyclohexyloxypropyl acrylate, 2-methacryloxyethanol, 1-methacryloxy-3-propanol, 2-methacrylamide ethanol, 2-hydroxy-3-methoxypropyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxy-3-butoxypropyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxy-3-phenoxypropyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxy-3-butoxypropyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxy-3-tertiary butoxypropyl methacrylate, and 2-hydroxy-3-cyclohexyloxypropyl methacrylate, etc.

Specific examples include methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, and tributanol.
[0050] As a substituent-introducing compound (also referred to as "first substituent-introducing compound" in this invention) that can be preferably used to synthesize acetylated tetracarboxylic acids (acid / acetylated bodies), examples include amines having photopolymerizable functional groups. Examples of amines having photopolymerizable functional groups include amines comprising the structure of general formula (2), such as 2-aminoethyl methacrylate, 2-aminoethyl acrylate, and 2-(tertiary butylamino)ethyl methacrylate.
[0051] By mixing the above-mentioned tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride with the first substituent-introduced compound in the presence of a basic catalyst such as pyridine, and preferably in a suitable reaction solvent, at a temperature of 20-50°C for 4-10 hours, the substituent can be added to the acid anhydride (e.g., esterification or acetylation reaction) to obtain the desired acid / substituent adduct.
[0052] The preferred solvent for the above reaction is one that completely dissolves the tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (as a starting material), the first substituent-introduced compound, and the acid / substituent adduct (as a product). More preferably, it is a solvent that also completely dissolves the polyimide precursor, which is the acetylamine condensation product of the acid / substituent adduct and the diamine.

[0053] (Preparation of diamine oligomers) Step (i): By condensing a first tetracarboxylic dianhydride or its acid / substituent adduct with a first diamine compound to induce amide imidization, a diamine oligomer having a polyamide structure can be obtained. From the viewpoint of increasing the amide ring-closure rate, the first tetracarboxylic dianhydride used in the condensation reaction is preferably in the form of an acid dianhydride rather than an acid / substituent adduct. For example, a first tetracarboxylic dianhydride containing a tetravalent organic group X1 with 6 to 40 carbon atoms can undergo a condensation reaction with an excess of a first diamine compound containing a divalent organic group Y1 with 6 to 40 carbon atoms to achieve ring closure upon heating. The conditions for amide imidization are not limited; for example, heating at a temperature between 160°C and 300°C for 1 to 10 hours is sufficient. A higher amide ring-closure rate is preferred, but not limited; for example, 90% or higher, preferably 95% or higher, more preferably 99% or higher, or 100%.
[0054] Examples of first diamine compounds having a divalent organic group Y1 with 6 to 40 carbon atoms, which are used as raw materials for diamine oligomers having a polyimide structure, include: diamines having an aliphatic chain (alkyl group) with 6 to 40 carbon atoms, preferably 6 to 20 carbon atoms, such as 1,7-diaminoheptane, 1,10-diaminodecane, 1,11-diaminoundecane, and 1,12-diaminododecane; and diamines having an aromatic group with 6 to 40 carbon atoms. In addition to diamines derived from the structures listed above, examples of diamines containing aromatic groups include: p-phenylenediamine, m-phenylenediamine, 4,4-diaminodiphenyl ether, 3,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether, 3,3'-diaminodiphenyl ether, 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfide, 3,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfide, 3,3'-diaminodiphenyl sulfide, 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfide, 3,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfide, 3,3'-diaminodiphenyl sulfide, 4,4'-diaminobiphenyl, and 3,4'-diaminobiphenyl. 3,3'-Diaminobiphenyl, 4,4'-Diaminobenzophenone, 3,4'-Diaminobenzophenone, 3,3'-Diaminobenzophenone, 4,4'-Diaminodiphenylmethane, 3,4'-Diaminodiphenylmethane, 3,3'-Diaminodiphenylmethane, 1,4-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene, 1,3-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene, 1,3-bis(3-aminophenoxy)benzene, bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl] ion, bis[4-(3-aminophenoxy)phenyl] ion, 4,4- bis(4-aminophenoxy)biphenyl, 4,4-bis(3-aminophenoxy)biphenyl, bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]ether, bis[4-(3-aminophenoxy)phenyl]ether, 1,4-bis(4-aminophenyl)benzene, 1,3-bis(4-aminophenyl)benzene, 9,10-bis(4-aminophenyl)anthracene, 2,2-bis(4-aminophenyl)propane, 2,2-bis(4-aminophenyl)hexafluoropropane, 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]propane, 2,2-bis[4-(4-aminophenyl)hexafluoropropane, Diamine compounds include [{{4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl}hexafluoropropane, 1,4-bis(3-aminopropyldimethylsilyl)benzene, o-toluidine, 9,9-bis(4-aminophenyl)benzene, and bis{{4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl}one, as well as those in which a portion of the hydrogen atom on the benzene ring is substituted with an alkyl chain such as methyl or ethyl, such as 2,2'-dimethyl-4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane, 3,3'-dimethoxy-4,4'-diaminobiphenyl, 3,3'-dichloro-4,4'-diaminobiphenyl, and mixtures thereof. However, diamine compounds are not limited to these. These diamine compounds can be used alone or in mixtures of two or more. These diamine compounds can also be used as secondary diamine compounds.
[0055] (Preparation of copolymers containing polyimide and polyimide precursors) Step (ii): The diamine oligomer obtained by the above method can be used as a diamine to undergo a condensation reaction with a second tetracarboxylic dianhydride or its acid / substituent adduct to synthesize a polyimide-polyimide precursor moiety (n2 unit) having a polyimide block moiety (n1 unit). The second tetracarboxylic dianhydride is preferably in the form of an acid / substituent adduct with photopolymerizable functional groups. The acid / substituent adduct is typically in a solution dissolved in the reaction solvent after the acid / substituent adduct has been prepared by the above method. Preferably, a suitable dehydrating condensing agent is added under ice bath cooling to convert the acid / substituent adduct into a polyanhydride. Subsequently, a solvent containing the diamine oligomer obtained by the above method is added dropwise to induce amide polycondensation, thereby obtaining the polyimide-polyimide precursor moiety (n2 unit). Alternatively, diamine siloxanes can be used in combination with the aforementioned diamines having a divalent organic group Y1, which are raw materials for diamine oligomers having a polyimide structure. Examples of the aforementioned dehydrating condensing agents include: dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 1-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline, 1,1-carbonyldioxy-di-1,2,3-benzotriazole, and N,N'-dibutyldiimide carbonate. Polyanhydrides are obtained as intermediates in the manner described above.
[0056] Step (iii): The obtained polyimide-polyimide precursor moiety can be further condensed with a third tetracarboxylic dianhydride or its acid / substituent adduct, and a second diamine compound to synthesize a polyimide precursor moiety (unit of n 3). When the second tetracarboxylic dianhydride (or its acid / substituent adduct) and the third tetracarboxylic dianhydride (or its acid / substituent adduct) are identical, excess second tetracarboxylic dianhydride (or its acid / substituent adduct) present in the reaction solvent after the synthesis of the polyimide-polyimide precursor moiety can be directly used as the third tetracarboxylic dianhydride (or its acid / substituent adduct). Alternatively, the desired tetracarboxylic dianhydride (or its acid / substituent adduct) can be added to the system. When the first diamine compound and the second diamine compound are identical, excess first diamine compound present in the reaction solvent after the synthesis of the diamine oligomer can be directly used as the second diamine compound. The desired diamine compound can also be added to the system.
[0057] (Reactive resin end formation) Other reactive substituents that are polymerized by heat or light, and which are different from the photopolymerizable functional groups contained in the repeating units of copolymer (A), can be introduced to the end of the main chain by the following methods. (1) An acid / substituent adduct having photopolymerizable functional groups and reactive substituents is prepared by reacting a second and / or third tetracarboxylic dianhydride with a first substituent-introducing compound having photopolymerizable functional groups, followed by reacting a second substituent-introducing compound having reactive substituents that are different from the first substituent-introducing compound, or by reacting a second and / or third tetracarboxylic dianhydride with a second substituent-introducing compound, followed by reacting a first substituent-introducing compound; and / or (2) A diamine oligomer with a second reactive substituent is prepared by reacting a diamine oligomer with a compound containing a second substituent; (3) Using the acid / substituent adduct with photopolymerizable functional groups and reactive substituents obtained by (1) above, and / or the diamine oligomer with reactive substituents obtained by (2) above, steps (ii) and (iii) in the method for manufacturing copolymer (A) are carried out, thereby introducing reactive substituents derived from the second substituent-introducing compound to the acid terminus and / or amine terminus of the main chain of copolymer (A).
[0058] As the second substituent-introducing compound, it is preferred to introduce compounds with the structures represented by the above general formulas (E1) and (E2). Although there is no limitation, examples include: ethyl 2-isocyanate acrylate, ethyl 2-isocyanate methacrylate, ethyl 2-(2-methacryloxyethoxy)isocyanate, ethyl 1,1-(bisacryloxymethyl)isocyanate, allylamine, and methacryl chloride, etc.
[0059] In order to improve the adhesion between the photosensitive resin layer formed on the substrate by coating the photosensitive resin composition onto the substrate and various substrates, when preparing (A) a copolymer containing polyimide and polyimide precursor, diaminosiloxanes such as 1,3-bis(3-aminopropyl)tetramethyldisiloxane and 1,3-bis(3-aminopropyl)tetraphenyldisiloxane can also be copolymerized.
[0060] After the polyamide condensation reaction is completed, the water-absorbing byproducts of the dehydrating condensing agent coexisting in the reaction solution are filtered and separated as needed. Then, a suitable unsuitable solvent, such as water, aliphatic lower alcohols, or a mixture thereof, is added to the solution containing the polymer components to precipitate the polymer. Subsequently, as needed, the re-dissolution and re-precipitation operations are repeated to purify the polymer. Vacuum drying is then performed to isolate the target copolymer containing polyimide and polyimide precursors. To further improve purification, the polymer solution can also be passed through a column packed with anion and / or cation exchange resins swelled with a suitable organic solvent to remove ionic impurities.
[0061] Regarding (A) the weight-average molecular weight of the copolymer containing polyimide and polyimide precursor, considering the heat resistance and mechanical properties of the film obtained after heat treatment, when determining the weight-average molecular weight using polystyrene converted by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), a value of 8,000 to 150,000 is preferred, more preferably 9,000 to 50,000, and even more preferably 18,000 to 40,000. A weight-average molecular weight of 8,000 or higher results in good mechanical properties, which is preferable. On the other hand, a value of 150,000 or lower results in good dispersibility in the developing solution and good resolution of the raised pattern, which is also preferable. Tetrahydrofuran and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone are recommended as developing solvents for gel permeation chromatography. Furthermore, the molecular weight is determined based on a calibration curve prepared using standard monodisperse polystyrene. As a standard monodisperse polystyrene, it is recommended to select from the organic solvent-based standard sample STANDARD SM-105 manufactured by Showa Denko Corporation.
[0062] (B) Photopolymerization initiator (B) Photopolymerization initiators are compounds that can generate free radicals through active light, thereby enabling the polymerization of compounds containing vinyl unsaturated groups. Examples of initiators that generate free radicals through active light include compounds containing structures such as benzophenone, N-alkylaminoacetophenone, oxime esters, acridine, and phosphine oxide.

[0065] Depending on the required coating film thickness and viscosity of the photosensitive resin composition, the solvent can be used within the following range: for example, 30 to 1500 parts by weight, more preferably 100 to 1000 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the copolymer containing polyimide and polyimide precursor in (A). When the solvent contains an alcohol without olefinic double bonds, the content of the alcohol without olefinic double bonds in the total solvent is preferably 5 to 50% by weight, more preferably 10 to 30% by weight. When the content of the alcohol without olefinic double bonds is 5% by weight or more, the storage stability of the photosensitive resin composition becomes good; when its content is 50% by weight or less, the solubility of the copolymer containing polyimide and polyimide precursor in (A) becomes good.

The (D) silane coupling agent preferably has the structure represented by the following general formula (9).

On the other hand, if it is 20 parts by weight or less, the photosensitivity is excellent, which is preferred.
[0105] <Polyimide Curing Film and Its Manufacturing Method> Furthermore, the present invention also provides a method for manufacturing a polyimide curable film, which includes the step of converting a photosensitive resin composition into polyimide. The method for manufacturing the polyimide curable film of the present invention includes, for example, the following steps (1) to (5): (1) The step of coating the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention onto a substrate to form a photosensitive resin layer on the substrate; (2) The steps of heating and drying the obtained photosensitive resin layer; (3) The step of exposing the heated and dried photosensitive resin layer; (4) The step of developing the exposed photosensitive resin layer; and (5) The step of heating the developed photosensitive resin layer to form a polyimide hardened film.
[0106] The photosensitive resin composition used in the method for manufacturing the hardened film preferably comprises: 100 parts by weight of a copolymer comprising polyimide and a polyimide precursor, 0.5 to 30 parts by weight of a photosensitizer, and 100 to 1000 parts by weight of a solvent. More preferably, it comprises a photoradical polymerization initiator as a photosensitizer, and even more preferably, the photosensitive resin composition is negative.
[0107] The specific steps in the manufacturing method of the hardened film can be carried out according to steps (1) to (5) of the manufacturing method of the hardened film described above. Hereinafter, typical examples of each step will be described.
[0108] (1) Steps for forming the photosensitive resin layer In this step, the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is coated onto a substrate, and then dried as needed to form a photosensitive resin layer. As a coating method, methods previously used for coating photosensitive resin compositions can be used, such as coating methods performed using a spin coater, bar coater, doctor blade coater, curtain coater, screen printing machine, etc., or spray coating methods performed using a spray coater, etc.
[0109] (2) Heating and drying steps The photosensitive resin composition film can be dried by heating as needed. Drying methods include air drying, drying using an oven or heating plate, and vacuum drying. Ideally, the film should be dried under conditions that do not cause amide formation of the polyimide precursor portion (polyamide ester) of the (A) copolymer in the photosensitive resin composition. Specifically, when air drying or heat drying is performed, drying can be carried out at 20°C to 140°C for 1 minute to 1 hour. By using the above methods, a photosensitive resin layer can be formed on the substrate.
[0110] (3) Exposure steps In this step, the photosensitive resin layer formed by the above method is exposed. Exposure apparatus can be, for example, a contact alignment machine, a mirror projection exposure machine, or a stepper. Exposure can be performed through a patterned photomask or reticle, or directly. The light used for exposure is, for example, an ultraviolet light source.
[0111] After exposure, post-exposure baking (PEB) and / or pre-development baking can be performed as needed, with any combination of temperature and time, to improve light sensitivity, etc. Regarding the range of baking conditions, the temperature is preferably 40~120°C and the time is preferably 10 seconds~240 seconds, but it is not limited to this range as long as it does not affect the various characteristics of the negative photosensitive resin composition of this embodiment.
[0112] (4) Development step In this step, the exposed photosensitive resin layer is developed to form a raised pattern. When the photosensitive resin composition is negative, the unexposed portions of the exposed photosensitive resin layer are developed and removed. As a developing method for the exposed (irradiated) photosensitive resin layer, any method can be selected from previously known photoresist developing methods, such as spin spraying, liquid coating, or immersion with ultrasonic treatment. Furthermore, after development, baking can be performed as needed, using any combination of temperature and time, to adjust the shape of the raised pattern. The developing solution is preferably a good solvent for negative photosensitive resin compositions, or a combination of such a good solvent and a poor solvent. Good solvents include, for example, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-cyclohexyl-2-pyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, γ-butyrolactone, α-acetyl-γ-butyrolactone, etc. Poor solvents include, for example, toluene, xylene, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, ethyl lactate, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, and water, etc. When good and poor solvents are mixed, it is preferable to adjust the ratio of poor solvent to good solvent according to the solubility of the polymer in the negative photosensitive resin composition. Alternatively, two or more solvents, such as several, may be used in combination. In the step of developing the exposed photosensitive resin layer, it is preferable to perform the above coating-development step in a manner that yields a photosensitive resin layer with a film thickness of 10 μm to 15 μm.
[0113] (5) Polyimide curing film formation steps In this step, the raised pattern obtained by the above development is heated to dilute the photosensitive components and to amide-enzyme (A) copolymer, thus transforming it into a hardened raised pattern containing polyimide. Various methods can be used for heat curing, such as using a heating plate, using an oven, or using a temperature-programmable heating oven. Heating can be performed, for example, at 160°C to 400°C for 30 minutes to 5 hours. Air, or inert gases such as nitrogen or argon, can be used as the ambient gas during heat curing. By means of the above method, a hardened raised pattern (polyimide hardened film) can be manufactured.
[0114] The method for manufacturing the polyimide curable film of the present invention includes, for example, a method for manufacturing a curable film comprising the steps of coating the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention onto a substrate, performing exposure treatment, development treatment, and subsequently heat treatment. The dielectric loss factor of this curable film, when measured at 40 GHz using the perturbation-type split-cylinder resonator method, is preferably 0.003 to 0.011. Furthermore, the dielectric loss factor can be measured using the perturbation-type split-cylinder resonator method shown in the following examples.
[0115] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a polyimide cured film obtained from the photosensitive resin composition described above. From the perspective of transmission loss caused by the dielectric, the dielectric loss factor at a frequency of 40 GHz measured by the perturbed split cylinder resonator method for this cured film is preferably 0.003 to 0.011, and the lower the better. Also, from the perspective of multilayer formation of the rewiring layer, the cured film preferably has low curing shrinkage, and the residual film rate after curing is preferably 81% to 93%. By making the residual film rate after curing 81% or more, the strain of the rewiring layer caused by the copper wiring during rewiring becomes slight. As a rewiring material for copper wiring for high-speed transmission, it is preferable that the quotient of the residual film rate (RFA) and the dielectric loss factor (tanδ 40) (RFA / tanδ 40) is within a certain range. Preferably, the value of the dielectric loss factor at 40 GHz satisfies 0.003 < tanδ 40 < 0.011, and the residual film rate after curing satisfies 0.81 < RFA < 0.93 in terms of ratio (satisfies 81% < RFA < 93% in terms of percentage), and satisfies the following formula: 85 < RFA (ratio) / tanδ 40 < 175 . By making RFA (ratio) / tanδ 40 within the range greater than 85 and less than 175, a polyimide cured product that is preferably used as a rewiring material for copper wiring for high-speed transmission can be obtained. RFA (ratio) / tanδ 40 is more preferably greater than 100 and less than 170.

[0122] <Measurement and Evaluation Methods> (1) Weight average molecular weight The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the diamine oligomers and copolymer resins was determined by gel permeation chromatography (conversion from standard polystyrene). The column used for the determination was a series of Shodex 805M / 806M manufactured by Showa Denko Corporation.

[0123] (2) Determination of the amide structure incorporation rate of the copolymer resin 10 g of copolymer resin was dissolved in a mixed solvent containing γ-butyrolactone and DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) (weight ratio 90:10), and the amount of solvent was adjusted to a viscosity of approximately 25 poise to prepare a polymer solution. The polymer solution was then spin-coated onto a 6-inch silicon wafer (manufactured by Fujimi Electronics Industry Co., Ltd., thickness 625±25 μm) using a coating and developing apparatus (D-Spin60A type, manufactured by SOKUDO Co., Ltd.), and dried on a hot plate at 110°C for 3 minutes to form a photosensitive resin layer with a thickness of approximately 10 μm. The photosensitive resin layer was measured using an ATR-FTIR (Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) apparatus (Nicolet Continuum, Thermo Fisher Scientific) with a Si prism, in a measurement range of 4000 cm⁻¹ to 700 cm⁻¹, for 50 measurements. The acetilimation index 1 was obtained by dividing the peak height of the hardened film near 1380 cm⁻¹ (1350 cm⁻¹ to 1450 cm⁻¹, where the peak intensity is greatest when multiple peaks are present) by the peak height near 1500 cm⁻¹ (1460 cm⁻¹ to 1550 cm⁻¹, where the peak intensity is greatest when multiple peaks are present). The amide structure induction rate is calculated by dividing the amide imidization index 1 by the amide imidization index 2 of another cured film cured under the same conditions at 350°C.

Using a photomask with a test pattern, the photosensitive resin layer was irradiated with an energy of 600 mJ / cm² using a Prisma GHI (manufactured by Ultratech) equipped with an i-ray filter. Subsequently, using cyclopentanone as the developer, the photosensitive resin layer was spray-developed using a coating and developing apparatus (D-Spin 60A, manufactured by SOKUDO), and rinsed with propylene glycol methyl ether acetate to obtain a raised pattern on Cu. The spray-developing time was taken as the development time. A temperature-programmed curing oven (VF-2000, manufactured by Koyo Lindberg) was used to heat-treat the wafer with the raised pattern on Cu at 230°C for 2 hours under nitrogen atmosphere, thereby obtaining a resin-containing hardened raised pattern with a thickness of approximately 10 μm on Cu. The fabricated raised pattern was observed under an optical microscope to determine the size of the minimum opening pattern. At this point, if the area of the opening of the obtained pattern is more than 1 / 2 of the opening area of the corresponding pattern mask, it is considered to be resolved. Based on the length of the mask opening edge (the size of the opening pattern) corresponding to the smallest area in the resolved opening, the resolution is judged according to the following evaluation criteria.

[0184] As shown in Tables 1-10, in the embodiments, by introducing polyimide block structures at a specific ratio, a photosensitive resin composition with low dielectric properties, low curing shrinkage, and good storage stability can be provided. Phase separation during coating is reduced, and a high-resolution, high-copper-adhesion hardened embossed pattern can be formed. On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 1-6, which do not have a polyimide structure, the result is a higher dielectric loss factor and a lower residual film rate after curing. In Comparative Example 7, where polyimide is incorporated into a polyimide precursor with a polyimide group incorporation rate of 0, the compatibility is poor, and uniform coating is not possible, making resolution evaluation difficult. Furthermore, it is believed that phase separation leads to a higher dielectric loss factor and lower copper adhesion. In Comparative Example 8, which used a partially amide-modified polyamide precursor, although the dielectric loss factor was low, amide modification was difficult to control, resulting in a cloudy film and poor resolution after coating. In Comparative Example 9, which used 100% amide polymer, free radical polymerizable monomers were required for patterning. Although the residual film yield after curing was high, the dielectric loss factor was high and the resolution was low. These results indicate that satisfactory results were not obtained in any of the comparative examples. [Industrial Applicability]
