Description

Adhesive film, method for manufacturing an adhesive film, adhesive resin composition, and method for manufacturing a semiconductor device

[0001] The present invention relates to an adhesive film. Also, the present invention relates to a method for producing the adhesive film. Furthermore, the present invention relates to an adhesive resin composition. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for producing a semiconductor device.

[0002] During processing of electronic components such as semiconductors, in order to facilitate handling of the electronic components and prevent breakage, the electronic components are fixed to a support plate via a temporary fixing material made of an adhesive resin composition, or an adhesive film having an adhesive layer is attached to the electronic components to protect them. For example, when a thick film wafer cut from a high-purity silicon single crystal or the like is ground to a predetermined thickness to obtain a thin film wafer, the thick film wafer is adhered to a support plate via an adhesive resin composition.

[0003] Thus, adhesive resin compositions and adhesive films used for electronic components are required to have high enough adhesion to firmly fix the electronic components during processing, and also to be able to be peeled off without damaging the electronic components after processing is completed (hereinafter also referred to as "high adhesion and easy peeling"). As a means for achieving high adhesion and easy peeling, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet using a pressure-sensitive adhesive in which a polyfunctional monomer or oligomer having a radiation-polymerizable functional group is bonded to the side chain or main chain of the polymer. By utilizing the fact that the polymer has a radiation-polymerizable functional group, which hardens when irradiated with ultraviolet light, the adhesive strength is reduced by irradiating with ultraviolet light during peeling, allowing peeling without leaving any adhesive residue.

[0004] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 5-32946

[0005] In recent years, in order to accommodate the increasing integration of semiconductors, the TBDB (Temporary Bonding / De-Bonding) process has been adopted, in which semiconductors are manufactured by supporting thin wafers with a support and a temporary fixing material such as an adhesive film. In the TBDB process, it is necessary to remove the support and the temporary fixing material from the wafer after the process is completed. When the temporary fixing material is in tape form, it is removed by peeling. Wafers often have irregularities called bumps, and it is required that the temporary fixing material be easily peeled off not only from smooth wafers but also from wafers having irregularities after the semiconductor manufacturing process.

[0006] Furthermore, when the semiconductor manufacturing process includes a thermal process, the temporary fixing material is also required to have heat resistance corresponding to the temperature at which the semiconductor is manufactured. Conventionally, resins that are hard at room temperature have often been used as the resin contained in the adhesive layer of heat-resistant temporary fixing materials. However, when a temporary fixing material using such a resin is used to temporarily fix a wafer having irregularities, the temporary fixing material is strongly adhered to the wafer having irregularities due to the anchor effect, which poses a problem that it is difficult to peel the temporary fixing material from the wafer after the semiconductor manufacturing process.

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide an adhesive film that has excellent heat resistance and can be easily removably attached to an adherend having an uneven surface by heating. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing the adhesive film. A further object of the present invention is to provide an adhesive resin composition that has excellent heat resistance and can be easily removably attached to an adherend having an uneven surface by heating. Additionally, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a semiconductor device that includes a step in which an adhesive film having excellent heat resistance can be easily removably attached to an adherend having an uneven surface, even when an adhesive film having excellent heat resistance is used.

The present invention will be described in detail below.

[0009] The present inventors have found that an adhesive film having an adhesive layer, which has a peak value of probe tack within a specific range, can be easily peeled from an adherend having irregularities by peeling it off while heating. Furthermore, as a result of examining the 5% weight loss temperature of the adhesive film, it has been found that an adhesive film having excellent heat resistance and which can be easily peeled off even from an adherend having irregularities by heating can be obtained, and this has led to the completion of the present invention.

[0010] The adhesive film of the present invention has an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer contains a photocurable adhesive.

The resin having an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain has extremely excellent heat resistance due to the imide skeleton, and decomposition of the main chain is unlikely to occur even when subjected to high-temperature processing at 300°C or higher. Therefore, by containing a curable resin containing a resin having an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain, the adhesive film obtained has excellent heat resistance and can further suppress outgassing during high-temperature processing, voids between the film and the adherend, and lifting. In addition, it can prevent increased adhesion to the adherend and the generation of adhesive residue when peeled from the adherend.

When the resin having no maleimide groups and an imide skeleton in its main chain repeating unit has a weight-average molecular weight of 2,000,000 or less, the resin having no maleimide groups and an imide skeleton in its main chain repeating unit has better compatibility with solvents and other components.

[0029] Examples of the functional group not having a maleimide group include an aliphatic group, an alicyclic group, an aromatic group, an acid anhydride group, and an amino group. Specific examples include an unreacted terminal group of an acid anhydride or diamine compound that serves as a raw material for a resin not having a maleimide group and having an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain.

[0032] As the diamine compound, either an aliphatic diamine compound or an aromatic diamine compound can be used.

[0037] The preferred lower limit of the content of the resin having no maleimide group and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain per 100 parts by mass of the curable resin is 10 parts by mass, and the preferred upper limit is 90 parts by mass. When the content of the resin having no maleimide group and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain is within this range, the resulting adhesive film can be more easily peeled from the adherend. From the viewpoint of further improving removability, the more preferred lower limit of the content of the resin having no maleimide group and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain is 20 parts by mass, and the more preferred upper limit is 80 parts by mass.

[0038] The resin having an imide skeleton in its main chain repeating unit preferably includes a resin having a functional group with a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in its main chain repeating unit. By including a resin having a functional group with a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in its main chain repeating unit, the resulting adhesive film undergoes uniform and rapid polymerization and crosslinking throughout upon irradiation with light, etc., resulting in an increase in elastic modulus and a significant decrease in adhesive strength. This further prevents increased adhesion and the occurrence of adhesive residue upon peeling. When the resin having an imide skeleton in its main chain repeating unit includes a resin that does not have the maleimide group and has an imide skeleton in its main chain repeating unit, it is preferable that the resin further includes a resin that has a functional group with a carbon-carbon double bond and has an imide skeleton in its main chain repeating unit, in addition to the resin that does not have a maleimide group and has an imide skeleton in its main chain repeating unit.

[0039] Examples of the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond include an optionally substituted maleimide group, a citraconic imide group, a vinyl ether group, an allyl group, and a (meth)acryloyl group. Among these, an optionally substituted maleimide group is preferred because it provides higher heat resistance. Note that a carbon-carbon double bond contained in an aromatic ring is not considered to be the carbon-carbon double bond of the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond. Note that, in this specification, "(meth)acryloyl" means acryloyl or methacryloyl.

[0040] In the resin having a functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain, the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond preferably has a functional group equivalent (weight average molecular weight / number of functional groups having a carbon-carbon double bond) of 4,000 or less. When the functional group equivalent of the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond is 4,000 or less, the resulting adhesive film has superior heat resistance. This is thought to be because the presence of functional groups having a carbon-carbon double bond at a density above a certain level in the resin molecule shortens the inter-crosslink distance, thereby further suppressing adhesion enhancement. The functional group equivalent of the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond is more preferably 3,000 or less, and even more preferably 2,000 or less. Furthermore, there is no particular preferred lower limit for the functional group equivalent of the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond, but the substantial lower limit is about 600.

[0041] The resin having a functional group with a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain preferably has a weight-average molecular weight of 1,000 or more and 100,000 or less. When the resin having a functional group with a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain has a weight-average molecular weight of 1,000 or more, the adhesive layer can be easily formed, and the resulting adhesive film exhibits a certain degree of flexibility, thereby exhibiting high conformability to an adherend having irregularities and allowing for easier peeling. When the resin having a functional group with a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain has a weight-average molecular weight of 100,000 or less, the solubility of the resin having a functional group with a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain in a solvent can be prevented from becoming too low. The weight average molecular weight of the resin having a functional group with a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain is more preferably 1,500 or more and 50,000 or less, and even more preferably 2,000 or more and less than 20,000.

[0042] In the resin having the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain, the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond may be located either in a side chain or at a terminal, but is preferably located at both terminals, and more preferably located in both terminals and also in a side chain. The functional groups having a carbon-carbon double bond at both terminals of the resin having the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain are highly reactive, allowing the adhesive film to be cured more sufficiently by irradiation with light, etc. As a result, enhanced adhesion and the occurrence of adhesive residue upon peeling can be more effectively prevented. Furthermore, the presence of a functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond in the side chain of the resin having the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain results in the resulting adhesive film having superior heat resistance. This is thought to be due to the fact that enhanced adhesion is further suppressed by the shorter inter-crosslink distance. Furthermore, by having the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and by having the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond in a side chain of the resin having an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain, it becomes easy to adjust the functional group equivalent to 4000 or less while maintaining the weight average molecular weight at 1000 or more. This allows the adhesive film to have sufficient initial adhesive strength, and at the same time, it is possible to further prevent increased adhesion and the occurrence of adhesive residue upon peeling.

[0043] As described above, in a resin having a functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain, the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond may be located either in a side chain or at a terminal. When either the side chain or the terminal has a functional group other than a functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond (a functional group not having a carbon-carbon double bond), examples of the functional group not having a carbon-carbon double bond include aliphatic groups, alicyclic groups, aromatic groups, acid anhydride groups, and amino groups. Specific examples include unreacted terminal groups of acid anhydrides and diamine compounds that are raw materials for resins having the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of their main chain. When a resin having a functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain has two or more functional groups not having a carbon-carbon double bond in a side chain or at a terminal, the functional groups not having a carbon-carbon double bond may be the same or different.

[0044] Specific examples of the resin having a functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain include resins having a constitutional unit represented by the above formula (1) and having a functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond at least in either the terminal or the side chain.

[0045] The resin having a structural unit represented by the above formula (1) and a functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond at least at either the terminal or the side chain may have at least one structural unit selected from the group consisting of a structural unit represented by the following formula (4-1) and a structural unit represented by the following formula (4-2):

[0046]

[0047] In formula (4-1), P 3 represents an aromatic group; 3 represents a group having a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic structure, and in formula (4-2), P 4 represents an aromatic group, R represents a substituted or unsubstituted branched aliphatic group or aromatic group, and X represents a functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond.

[0048] P in the above formula (4-1) 3 and P in the above formula (4-2) 4 is preferably an aromatic group having 5 to 50 carbon atoms. 3 and P 4 When is an aromatic group having 5 to 50 carbon atoms, the resulting adhesive film has better heat resistance. That is, it is possible to further suppress outgassing during high-temperature processing, voids between the film and the adherend, and lifting, and it is also possible to further prevent increased adhesion to the adherend and adhesive residue when peeled from the adherend.

[0049] In the above formula (4-1), Q 3 is preferably a substituted or unsubstituted group having an aromatic structure having 5 to 50 carbon atoms. 3 is a substituted or unsubstituted group having an aromatic structure of 5 to 50 carbon atoms, the adhesive film obtained has better heat resistance. That is, it is possible to further suppress outgassing during high-temperature processing, voids between the film and the adherend, and lifting, and it is also possible to further prevent increased adhesion to the adherend and adhesive residue when peeled from the adherend.

[0050] In the above formula (4-2), R is preferably a substituted or unsubstituted branched aliphatic or aromatic group having 2 to 100 carbon atoms. When R is a substituted or unsubstituted branched aliphatic or aromatic group having 2 to 100 carbon atoms, the adhesive film obtained has better flexibility, can exhibit high conformability to an adherend having irregularities, and can be more easily peeled off.

[0051] In the above formula (4-2), R is an aromatic group having an aromatic ester group or an aromatic ether group, and the aromatic ester group or aromatic ether group in R is preferably bonded to X. Here, "aromatic ester group" refers to a group in which an ester group is directly bonded to an aromatic ring, and "aromatic ether group" refers to a group in which an ether group is directly bonded to an aromatic ring. By making the moiety bonded to the ester group or ether group an aromatic group, the resulting adhesive film has superior heat resistance. That is, outgassing and the occurrence of voids and lifting between the film and the adherend during high-temperature processing can be further suppressed, and enhanced adhesion to the adherend and adhesive residue upon peeling from the adherend can be further prevented. On the other hand, by bonding X to R via an aromatic ester group or an aromatic ether group, the carbon-carbon double bond in X is not conjugated with R, and therefore polymerization and crosslinking upon heating or light irradiation are not hindered.

[0052] The content of the structural unit represented by the formula (1) in a resin having a functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond at at least one of the terminal and the side chain is preferably 30 mol% or more, more preferably 50 mol% or more, and preferably 90 mol% or less, more preferably 80 mol% or less. When a resin having a structural unit represented by the formula (1) and a functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond at at least one of the terminal and the side chain has a structural unit represented by the formula (4-1), the content of the structural unit represented by the formula (4-1) is preferably 5 mol% or more, more preferably 10 mol% or more, even more preferably 20 mol% or more, and preferably 50 mol% or less, more preferably 30 mol% or less. When a resin having a structural unit represented by formula (1) and a functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond at at least one of the terminal and the side chain has a structural unit represented by formula (4-2), the content of the structural unit represented by formula (4-2) is preferably 10 mol% or more, more preferably 20 mol% or more, and preferably 50 mol% or less, more preferably 30 mol% or less. When the content of each of the structural units represented by formula (1), formula (4-1), and formula (4-2) is within the above range, the resulting adhesive film can further suppress outgassing during high-temperature processing, voids between the film and the adherend, and lifting, and can be more easily peeled from the adherend. The structural units represented by formula (1), formula (4-1), and formula (4-2) may have a block structure consisting of block components in which the respective structural units are arranged consecutively, or may have a random structure in which the respective structural units are arranged randomly.

[0053] Examples of methods for producing a resin having the above-mentioned functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain include the following. Specifically, first, a diamine compound is reacted with an aromatic acid anhydride to prepare an imide compound. Next, a compound having a functional group reactive with the functional group of the imide compound and a functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond (hereinafter also referred to as a "functional group-containing unsaturated compound") is reacted with the functional group of the imide compound to obtain a resin having the above-mentioned functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain. Alternatively, a resin having the above-mentioned functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain can also be obtained by reacting a diamine compound with an aromatic acid anhydride to prepare an imide compound, and then reacting the terminal of the imide compound with, for example, maleic anhydride.

[0054] The diamine compound and aromatic acid anhydride used in the method for producing a resin having a functional group with a carbon-carbon double bond and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain may be the same as those used in the method for producing a resin having no maleimide group and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain.

[0055] The functional group-containing unsaturated compound is selected and used depending on the functional group at the end or side chain of the imide compound.For example, when the functional group at the end or side chain of the imide compound is a hydroxyl group, the functional group-containing unsaturated compound may include a maleimide compound having a carboxyl group, a vinyl compound having an ether group, an allyl compound having a glycidyl group, an allyl ether compound having a glycidyl group, a vinyl ether compound having a glycidyl group, an allyl compound having an isocyanate group, a (meth)acryloyl compound having an isocyanate group, etc.Furthermore, when the functional group at the end or side chain of the imide compound is a carboxyl group, the functional group-containing unsaturated compound may include an allyl compound having a hydroxyl group, an allyl compound having a glycidyl group, an allyl ether compound having a glycidyl group, a vinyl ether compound having a glycidyl group, etc. Examples of the maleimide compound having a carboxy group include maleimide acetate, maleimidopropionic acid, maleimidobutyric acid, maleimidohexanoic acid, trans-4-(N-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid, 19-maleimido-17-oxo-4,7,10,13-tetraoxa-16-azanonadecanoic acid, etc. Examples of the vinyl compound having an ether group include butyl vinyl ether, etc. Examples of the allyl compound having a glycidyl group include diallyl monoglycidyl isocyanurate, etc. Examples of the allyl ether compound having a glycidyl group include allyl glycidyl ether, glycerin diallyl monoglycidyl ether, etc. Examples of the vinyl ether compound having a glycidyl group include glycidyloxyethyl vinyl ether, glycidyloxybutyl vinyl ether, glycidyloxyhexyl vinyl ether, glycidyl diethylene glycol vinyl ether, glycidyl cyclohexanedimethanol monovinyl ether, etc. Examples of the allyl compound having an isocyanate group include allyl isocyanate, etc. Examples of the (meth)acryloyl compound having an isocyanate group include 2-(meth)acryloyloxyethyl isocyanate, etc.Examples of the allyl compound having a hydroxyl group include trimethylolpropane diallyl ether and pentaerythritol triallyl ether.

[0056] The preferred lower limit of the content of the resin having the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and having an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain per 100 parts by mass of the curable resin is 10 parts by mass, and the preferred upper limit is 100 parts by mass. When the content of the resin having the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and having an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain per 100 parts by mass of the curable resin is within this range, the adhesive film can be more easily peeled off. From the viewpoint of further improving removability, the preferred lower limit of the content of the resin having the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and having an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain per 100 parts by mass of the curable resin is 20 parts by mass, even more preferably 30 parts by mass, and even more preferably 90 parts by mass, even more preferably 80 parts by mass, and even more preferably 70 parts by mass.

[0057] When the resin having an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain does not have the maleimide group and includes a resin having an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain, it is preferable that the curable resin further includes a polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer (hereinafter simply referred to as a "polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer") having two or more functional groups having a carbon-carbon double bond in the molecule and having a molecular weight of 5,000 or less. Also, when the curable resin includes a resin having the imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain that has the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and has an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain, the curable resin may further include the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer. By including the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer, the adhesive film can be more efficiently three-dimensionally reticulated by irradiation with light or the like, thereby more effectively preventing enhanced adhesion and adhesive residue upon peeling.

[0058] In addition, when the resin having the imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain itself is not reactive, the curable resin needs to further contain another component having a reactive functional group so that the curable resin as a whole is reactive. As such another component having a reactive functional group, it is preferable to use the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer. An example of a case where the resin having the imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain itself is not reactive is when the resin having the imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain does not have the maleimide group and only contains a resin having the imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain.

[0059] Examples of the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond in the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer include an optionally substituted maleimide group, a citraconic imide group, a vinyl ether group, an allyl group, and a (meth)acryloyl group. Among these, an optionally substituted maleimide group is preferred because it provides higher heat resistance. In particular, the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer is preferably a bismaleimide compound.

[0060] The polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer preferably has a group derived from a diamine compound. As the diamine compound, either an aliphatic diamine compound or an aromatic diamine compound can be used, but an aliphatic diamine compound is preferred. That is, the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer more preferably has an aliphatic group derived from a diamine compound. By using an aliphatic diamine compound as the diamine compound, the resulting adhesive film has superior light transmittance. Furthermore, the resulting adhesive film has superior flexibility, can exhibit high conformability to an adherend having irregularities, and can be more easily peeled off.

[0061] Among the above aliphatic diamine compounds, the above-mentioned dimer diamines are preferred from the viewpoints of light transparency, flexibility, and compatibility with the solvent of the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer and other components.

[0062] The preferred lower limit of the content of the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer in 100 parts by mass of the curable resin is 5 parts by mass, and the preferred upper limit is 90 parts by mass. When the content of the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer is within this range, the adhesive film can be more easily peeled off. From the viewpoint of further improving removability, the more preferred lower limit of the content of the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer is 10 parts by mass, and the more preferred upper limit is 50 parts by mass.

[0063] When the curable resin contains a resin having the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and having an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain, and the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer, the preferred lower limit of the total content of the resin having the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and having an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain, and the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer, per 100 parts by mass of the curable resin, is 20 parts by mass, and the preferred upper limit is 80 parts by mass. When the total content of the resin having the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond and having an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain, and the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer, is within this range, the adhesive film can be more easily peeled off during peeling. From the viewpoint of further improving removability, the lower limit of the total content of the resin having a functional group with a carbon-carbon double bond and having an imide skeleton in a repeating unit of the main chain, and the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer is more preferably 30 parts by mass, even more preferably 40 parts by mass, still more preferably 50 parts by mass, and more preferably 70 parts by mass.

[0064] The curable resin preferably contains a compound having a maleimide group. By containing the compound having a maleimide group, the obtained adhesive film has better heat resistance. The compound having a maleimide group is preferably a bismaleimide compound, or a resin having a maleimide group and an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain. That is, the curable resin preferably contains the bismaleimide compound as the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer, or the curable resin preferably contains the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond, and the resin preferably contains a maleimide group as the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond of the resin having an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain.

[0065] The preferred upper limit of the content of the curable resin in the photocurable adhesive is 99% by mass. By having the content of the curable resin be 99% by mass or less, the removability from an adherend having irregularities during heating can be further improved. The more preferred upper limit of the content of the curable resin is 98% by mass, an even more preferred upper limit is 96% by mass, and an even more preferred upper limit is 90% by mass. Furthermore, the preferred lower limit of the content of the curable resin is 5% by mass. By having the content of the curable resin be 5% by mass or more, adhesion enhancement during high-temperature processing can be further suppressed. The more preferred lower limit of the content of the curable resin is 10% by mass, and an even more preferred lower limit is 20% by mass.

[0066] The photocurable adhesive preferably further contains a photopolymerization initiator. By containing the photopolymerization initiator, the photocurable adhesive is more easily cured, and increased adhesion of the resulting adhesive film to the adherend during high-temperature processing can be more effectively suppressed, so that the resulting adhesive film has improved removability from the adherend and can be more easily peeled from the adherend.

[0067] Examples of the photopolymerization initiator include those that are activated by irradiation with light having a wavelength of 250 to 800 nm. Among these, the photopolymerization initiator is preferred for its molar absorption coefficient at 405 nm to be 10 ml / (g cm), more preferably 200 ml / (g cm), and even more preferably 405 ml / (g cm), since it is unlikely to overlap with the absorption wavelength of the curable resin and is sufficiently activated when the adhesive film is irradiated with light. There is no particular upper limit to the molar absorption coefficient at 405 nm, but it is preferred that it be 1.0×10 6 The practical upper limit is about ml / (g·cm).

[0068] Examples of the photopolymerization initiator include acetophenone derivatives, benzoin ether compounds, ketal derivatives, phosphine oxide derivatives, and oxime ester compounds. Examples of the acetophenone derivatives include methoxyacetophenone, 2-benzyl-2-(dimethylamino)-4'-morpholinobutyrophenone, and 2-dimethylamino-2-(4-methylbenzyl)-1-(4-morpholin-4-ylphenyl)butan-1-one. Examples of the benzoin ether compounds include benzoin propyl ether and benzoin isobutyl ether. Examples of the ketal derivatives include benzyl dimethyl ketal and acetophenone diethyl ketal. Examples of the phosphine oxide derivatives include bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phenylphosphine oxide and 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl-diphenylphosphine oxide. Examples of the oxime ester compound include 1-(O-acetyloxime)-1-[9-ethyl-6-(2-methylbenzoyl)-9H-carbazol-3-yl]ethanone and 1-[4-(phenylthio)phenyl]-2-(O-benzoyloxime)-1,2-octadione. Examples of the photopolymerization initiator include bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)titanocene derivative compounds, benzophenone, Michler's ketone, chlorothioxanthone, dodecylthioxanthone, dimethylthioxanthone, diethylthioxanthone, α-hydroxycyclohexylphenyl ketone, and 2-hydroxymethylphenylpropane. These photopolymerization initiators may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0069] The content of the photopolymerization initiator is preferably 0.1 parts by mass or less and 10 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the curable resin. By using a photopolymerization initiator within this range, the entire adhesive film is uniformly and quickly polymerized and crosslinked by light irradiation, and the elastic modulus increases, preventing a significant decrease in adhesive strength, resulting in increased adhesion, and preventing adhesive residue upon peeling. The more preferred lower limit of the photopolymerization initiator content is 0.3 parts by mass, and the more preferred upper limit is 5 parts by mass.

[0070] The photocurable adhesive preferably further contains an ultraviolet absorber, which makes the adhesive layer more flexible and improves the peak probe tack value after curing of the adhesive layer, as described below.

[0071] Examples of the ultraviolet absorber include triazine-based ultraviolet absorbers, benzotriazole-based ultraviolet absorbers, benzophenone-based ultraviolet absorbers, salicylate-based ultraviolet absorbers, cyanoacrylate-based ultraviolet absorbers, etc. Among these, from the viewpoint of further improving the heat resistance of the adhesive film of the present invention, it is preferable that the ultraviolet absorber contains a triazine-based ultraviolet absorber.

[0072] Examples of the triazine-based ultraviolet absorber include Tinuvin 400, Tinuvin 405, Tinuvin 460, Tinuvin 477, Tinuvin 479, Tinuvin 1577ED, and Tinuvin 1600 (all manufactured by BASF Corporation), and Adekastab LA46 and Adekastab LA-F70 (all manufactured by ADEKA Corporation). Of these, Tinuvin 400, Tinuvin 479, and Tinuvin 1600 are preferred.

[0073] The preferred lower limit of the content of the ultraviolet absorber relative to 100 parts by mass of the curable resin is 1 part by mass, and the preferred upper limit is 30 parts by mass. When the content of the ultraviolet absorber is 1 part by mass or more, the adhesive layer becomes more flexible. When the content of the ultraviolet absorber is 30 parts by mass or less, the adhesive strength of the obtained adhesive film is further improved. The more preferred lower limit of the ultraviolet absorber is 5 parts by mass, and even more preferred lower limit is 7 parts by mass, and the more preferred upper limit is 20 parts by mass, and even more preferred upper limit is 15 parts by mass.

[0074] The photocurable adhesive preferably further contains a surface conditioner. By including a surface conditioner in the photocurable adhesive, the surface conditioner bleeds out to the adherend interface, thereby further improving the removability of the resulting adhesive film. Examples of the surface conditioner include silicone-based surface conditioners, fluorine-based surface conditioners, and acrylic-based surface conditioners. These surface conditioners have excellent heat resistance, so by including a surface conditioner in the photocurable adhesive, the photocurable adhesive can be prevented from burning even after high-temperature processing at 300°C or higher. Furthermore, the surface conditioner bleeds out to the adherend interface during peeling of the resulting adhesive film, making peeling easier. Among these, silicone-based surface conditioners are preferred from the standpoints of environmental friendliness and ease of disposal. Acrylic-based surface conditioners are also preferred from the standpoints of preventing silicone contamination of the adherend and further improving the peak value of the probe tack after curing of the adhesive film, as described below.

[0075] The surface conditioner may have a functional group capable of crosslinking with a resin having the imide skeleton in its main chain repeating unit. When the surface conditioner has a functional group capable of crosslinking with a resin having the imide skeleton in its main chain repeating unit, the surface conditioner chemically reacts with the resin having the imide skeleton in its main chain repeating unit or the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer upon irradiation with light or reaction with a crosslinking agent, etc., and is incorporated into the resin. This prevents the surface conditioner from adhering to and contaminating the adherend. Examples of functional groups capable of crosslinking with the resin having the imide skeleton in its main chain repeating unit or the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer include a carboxy group, a functional group having a radically polymerizable unsaturated bond (e.g., a vinyl group, a (meth)acryloyl group, or an optionally substituted maleimide group), a hydroxy group, an amide group, an isocyanate group, and an epoxy group.

[0076] Examples of the acrylic surface conditioner include acrylic copolymers used to impart leveling properties, and specific examples include BYK-394, BYK-350, BYK-381 (all manufactured by BYK-Chemie), Disparlon 1970 (manufactured by Kusumoto Chemicals Co., Ltd.), and the like.

[0077] Examples of the silicone surface conditioner include silicone oil, silicone diacrylate, and silicone graft copolymer. Specifically, a silicone compound having a siloxane skeleton in the main chain and a functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond in the side chain or at the terminal is preferred. As the silicone compound having a siloxane skeleton in the main chain and a functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond in the side chain or at the terminal, at least one selected from the group consisting of a silicone compound represented by the following formula (5-1), a silicone compound represented by the following formula (5-2), and a silicone compound represented by the following formula (5-3) is preferred. These silicone compounds have particularly excellent heat resistance and are highly polar, so they easily bleed out from the adhesive layer.

[0078]

[0079] X in the above formulas (5-1) to (5-3) and Y in the above formulas (5-1) and (5-3) each independently represent an integer of 0 or more and 1200 or less, and R in the above formulas (5-1) to (5-3) represents a functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond.

[0080] In the above formulas (5-1) to (5-3), examples of the functional group having a carbon-carbon double bond represented by R include an optionally substituted maleimide group, a citraconic imide group, a vinyl ether group, an allyl group, and a (meth)acryloyl group. Among these, an optionally substituted maleimide group is preferred because the resulting adhesive film has better heat resistance. Note that when multiple R are present in the above formulas (5-1) to (5-3), the respective R may be the same or different.

[0081] Among the silicone compounds represented by the above formulas (5-1) to (5-3), commercially available examples include EBECRYL350 and EBECRYL1360 (both manufactured by Daicel-Allnex Co., Ltd.), etc. Other examples include BYK-UV3500 (manufactured by BYK-Chemie Co., Ltd.) and TEGO RAD2250 (manufactured by Evonik Co., Ltd.) (in both cases, R is an acryloyl group).

[0082] Examples of the fluorine-based surface conditioner include hydrocarbon compounds having fluorine atoms.

[0083] The content of the surface conditioner is preferably 0.1 parts by mass at its lower limit and 20 parts by mass at its upper limit relative to 100 parts by mass of the curable resin. By using the surface conditioner in this range, the resulting adhesive film will have excellent removability without contaminating the adherend. From the viewpoint of further improving removability while suppressing contamination, the lower limit of the content of the surface conditioner is more preferably 0.3 parts by mass, and the upper limit is more preferably 10 parts by mass. Since the adhesive film of the present invention has excellent heat resistance, it can exert sufficient effects even if the content of the surface conditioner is relatively small. Therefore, the possibility of contamination by the silicone compound or fluorine compound can be further reduced.

[0084] The photocurable adhesive preferably further contains an inorganic filler, which can prevent the resulting adhesive film from decreasing in elastic modulus at high temperatures and can further prevent peeling during high-temperature processing, even when the adhesive film is subjected to high-temperature processing at 300°C or higher.

[0085] Examples of the inorganic filler include inorganic fillers consisting of at least one selected from the group consisting of oxides of silicon, titanium, aluminum, calcium, boron, magnesium, and zirconia, and composites thereof. Among these, silica and talc are preferred because they are commercially available at low cost and easily available.

[0086] The inorganic filler may be surface-modified. Examples of the functional group that may be used to modify the surface of the inorganic filler include an alkylsilane group, a methacryloyl group, and a dimethylsiloxane group. Among these, a dimethylsiloxane group is preferred because it has appropriate hydrophobicity.

[0087] The preferred lower limit of the average particle size of the inorganic filler is 5 nm, and the preferred upper limit is 30 μm. By having the average particle size of the inorganic filler within this range, the resulting adhesive film can be more effectively prevented from peeling during high-temperature processing, and can be easily peeled off by peel treatment when peeling. The more preferred lower limit of the average particle size of the inorganic filler is 10 nm, and the more preferred upper limit is 20 μm, and the even more preferred lower limit is 15 nm, and the even more preferred upper limit is 15 μm. The average particle size can be determined, for example, by observing 50 particles of any inorganic filler using an electron microscope or an optical microscope, calculating the average particle size of each inorganic filler, or by performing laser diffraction particle size distribution measurement.

[0088] The content of the inorganic filler is preferably 1 part by mass at the lower limit and 20 parts by mass at the upper limit relative to 100 parts by mass of the curable resin. By having the content of the inorganic filler within this range, the adhesive film obtained can be more effectively prevented from peeling during high-temperature processing, and can be easily peeled by peel treatment when peeled. The content of the inorganic filler is more preferably 3 parts by mass at the lower limit and 15 parts by mass at the upper limit, and even more preferably 5 parts by mass at the lower limit and 10 parts by mass at the upper limit.

[0089] The photocurable adhesive may further contain a gas generating agent. By containing the gas generating agent, even after high-temperature processing at 300°C or higher, gas generated by irradiation with light or the like is released at the interface with the adherend, making it possible to peel the adhesive film from the adherend more easily and without leaving any adhesive residue. Furthermore, even when peeling the adhesive film from a thin adherend after high-temperature processing at 300°C or higher, damage to the adherend can be prevented.

[0090] The gas generating agent preferably has a weight loss rate of 5% or less when heated from 30°C to 300°C at a temperature increase rate of 10°C / min in a nitrogen atmosphere as measured by TG-DTA (thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis). If the weight loss rate is 5% or less, decomposition of the gas generating agent is unlikely to occur even when high-temperature processing is performed at 300°C or higher, and the adhesive film has superior heat resistance. In other words, peeling can be further suppressed during high-temperature processing, and increased adhesion and adhesive residue upon peeling can be further prevented. The TG-DTA (thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis) measurement can be performed using, for example, a TG-DTA device ("STA7200RV" manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science Corporation).

[0091] Examples of the gas generating agent include a gas generating agent that generates gas upon heating and a gas generating agent that generates gas upon irradiation with light. These gas generating agents may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among them, from the viewpoint of preventing decomposition of the gas generating agent in a high-temperature processing step, a gas generating agent that generates gas upon irradiation with light is preferred, and a gas generating agent that generates gas upon irradiation with ultraviolet light is more preferred. Examples of the gas generating agent include a tetrazole compound or a salt thereof, a triazole compound or a salt thereof, an azo compound, an azide compound, xanthone acetate, a carbonate, and the like. These gas generating agents may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among them, a tetrazole compound or a salt thereof is preferred because of its particularly excellent heat resistance.

[0092] The content of the gas generating agent is preferably 5 parts by mass or less and 50 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the curable resin. When the content of the gas generating agent is within this range, the resulting adhesive film has particularly excellent removability. The more preferred lower limit of the content of the gas generating agent is 8 parts by mass or less and the more preferred upper limit is 30 parts by mass or less.

[0093] The photocurable adhesive may contain known additives such as photosensitizers, heat stabilizers, antioxidants, antistatic agents, plasticizers, surfactants, waxes, etc., as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.

[0094] The adhesive layer was formed by irradiating the adhesive film with an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp at a wavelength of 405 nm and an illuminance of 100 mW / cm. 2 The cumulative light intensity is 20,000 mJ / cm 2 The lower limit of the peak probe tack value at 60°C after irradiating for 200 seconds so as to satisfy the condition (hereinafter, sometimes simply referred to as "peak probe tack value at 60°C after curing of the adhesive layer") is 0.30 N / cm 2 After curing, the adhesive layer had a peak probe tack of 0.30 N / cm at 60°C. 2As a result, the adhesive film of the present invention can be easily peeled off even from an adherend having unevenness by heating during peeling. The preferred lower limit of the peak value of the probe tack at 60°C after curing of the adhesive layer is 0.40 N / cm 2 , and a more preferable lower limit is 0.50 N / cm 2 The preferred upper limit of the peak value of the probe tack at 60°C after curing of the adhesive layer is 5.00 N / cm 2 After curing, the adhesive layer had a peak probe tack of 5.00 N / cm at 60°C. 2 The upper limit of the peak probe tack value at 60°C after curing of the adhesive layer is more preferably 4.00 N / cm 2 , and a more preferable upper limit is 2.00 N / cm 2 In this specification, the term "peak probe tack value" refers to the maximum load applied to a probe when the probe is brought into contact with an adhesive layer using a probe tack measurement device and then pulled up, and specifically refers to the peak tack value measured using a probe tack measurement device (such as the "Tacking Tester TAC-2" manufactured by RHESCA) under measurement conditions of a probe diameter of 5 mm, a pressing speed of 0.5 mm / sec, a pressing load of 98 gf, a contact time of 10 seconds, and a lifting speed of 0.1 mm / s. As a specific measurement method, first, an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp is used, and the wavelength is 405 nm and the illuminance is 100 mW / cm. 2 The cumulative light intensity is 20,000 mJ / cm 2 The cured adhesive layer is irradiated for 200 seconds so as to obtain a value of 25 mm in width and 50 mm in length, and the cured adhesive layer is cut into a test piece having a size of 25 mm in width and 50 mm in length. The test piece thus prepared is then measured using the above-mentioned probe tack measurement device under the above-mentioned measurement conditions in an environment of 60°C and 50% RH, thereby obtaining the tackiness.

[0095] The adhesive layer was formed by irradiating the adhesive film with an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp at a wavelength of 405 nm and an illuminance of 100 mW / cm. 2 The cumulative light intensity is 20,000 mJ / cm 2The preferred upper limit of the peak probe tack value at 23°C after irradiating for 200 seconds so as to achieve a value of 5.00 N / cm (hereinafter, sometimes simply referred to as "peak probe tack value at 23°C after curing of the adhesive layer") is 5.00 N / cm 2 After curing, the adhesive layer had a peak probe tack of 5.00 N / cm at 23°C. 2 The upper limit of the peak probe tack value at 23°C after curing of the adhesive layer is more preferably 3.00 N / cm. 2 , and a more preferable upper limit is 1.00 N / cm 2 The preferred lower limit of the peak value of the probe tack at 23°C after curing of the adhesive layer is 0.10 N / cm 2 After curing, the adhesive layer had a peak probe tack of 0.10 N / cm at 23°C. 2 By setting the value to 0.20 N / cm or more, the adhesive strength at room temperature is further improved. A more preferable lower limit of the peak value of probe tack at 23°C after curing of the adhesive layer is 0.20 N / cm 2 , and a more preferable lower limit is 0.25 N / cm 2 The peak value of the probe tack at 23°C after the adhesive layer has cured can be measured by setting the measurement temperature at 23°C for the peak value of the probe tack at 60°C after the adhesive layer has cured.

[0096] The adhesive layer has a ratio (V1) of the peak probe tack value at 60°C after curing of the adhesive layer to the peak probe tack value at 23°C after curing of the adhesive layer ((peak probe tack value at 60°C after curing of the adhesive layer) / (peak probe tack value at 23°C after curing of the adhesive layer)), which preferably has a lower limit of 1.0 and an upper limit of 10.0. When V1 is within the above range, the adhesive film of the present invention can achieve both high heat resistance and excellent removability from an adherend having unevenness. A more preferred lower limit of V1 is 2.0, a more preferred upper limit is 8.0, an even more preferred lower limit is 3.0, and an even more preferred upper limit is 6.0.

[0097] Methods for adjusting the peak probe tack value at 60°C after curing of the adhesive layer and the peak probe tack value at 23°C after curing of the adhesive layer include, for example, changing the composition of the adhesive layer (for example, adding a heat-resistant low molecular weight compound (such as an ultraviolet absorber) to the adhesive layer, changing the surface conditioner, adding an inorganic filler, etc.).

[0098] When the adhesive film has a substrate, the adhesive layer, in an uncured state, has a preferred lower limit of anchor strength to the substrate at 23°C of 0.03 N / 25 mm. When the adhesive layer has an anchor strength to the substrate at 23°C of 0.03 N / 25 mm or more, peeling at the interface between the adhesive layer and the substrate can be suppressed, and the handleability of the resulting adhesive film is further improved. A more preferred lower limit of the anchor strength of the adhesive layer to the substrate at 23°C is 0.05 N / 25 mm. There is no particular preferred upper limit of the anchor strength of the adhesive layer to the substrate at 23°C, but about 20 N / 25 mm is a practical upper limit. The anchor strength of the adhesive layer to the substrate at 23°C is measured by the following method. That is, one side of a commercially available double-sided tape (manufactured by Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd., "3810H") was adhered to a stainless steel plate that had been washed with ethanol and then wiped dry. The adhesive layer of the adhesive film of the present invention that was not to be measured was then placed on the other side of the double-sided tape, with the side of the adhesive film of the present invention with the adhesive layer to be measured facing up. A 25 mm-wide silicone tape (manufactured by Sliontec Co., Ltd., "6260-01") was then pressed against the adhesive layer of the adhesive film of the present invention by rolling a 2 kg hand roller back and forth once at a speed of 300 mm / min. A 25 mm-wide cut was made along the silicone tape in the adhesive layer pressed against the silicone tape, and the adhesive was then aged at 23°C and 50% RH for 1 hour to prepare a test sample. The obtained test sample is subjected to a 180° peel test in accordance with JIS Z0237 using a tensile tester (Shimadzu Corporation, "AG-IS" or the like) under conditions of 23°C, 50% RH, and a peel rate of 300 mm / min, and the 90° peel strength of the adhesive layer to the substrate is measured by peeling the adhesive layer pressed onto the silicone tape from the substrate. The obtained 90° peel strength is taken as the anchor strength of the adhesive layer to the substrate at 23°C.

[0099] When the adhesive film of the present invention is a single-sided adhesive film, the anchoring strength of the adhesive layer to the substrate at 23°C is measured by the following method. Specifically, one side of a commercially available double-sided tape (manufactured by Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd., "3810H") is adhered to a stainless steel plate that has been washed with ethanol and then wiped dry. The adhesive-free side of the substrate of the adhesive film of the present invention is then placed over the other side of the double-sided tape, with the side of the adhesive film of the present invention with the adhesive layer to be measured facing up. Furthermore, a 25 mm-wide silicone tape (manufactured by Sliontec Co., Ltd., "6260-01") is pressed against the adhesive layer of the adhesive film of the present invention by rolling it back and forth once at a speed of 300 mm / min. A 25 mm-wide cut is made along the silicone tape in the adhesive layer pressed against the silicone tape, and the adhesive layer is then aged for 1 hour at 23°C and 50% RH to prepare a test sample. The obtained test sample is subjected to a 90° peel test in accordance with JIS Z0237 using a tensile tester (Shimadzu Corporation, "AG-IS" or the like) under conditions of 23°C, 50% RH, and a peel rate of 300 mm / min, and the 90° peel strength of the adhesive layer to the substrate is measured by peeling the adhesive layer pressed onto the silicone tape from the substrate. The obtained 90° peel strength is taken as the anchor strength of the adhesive layer to the substrate at 23°C.

[0100] When the adhesive film has a substrate, the adhesive layer in the adhesive film of the present invention is formed by irradiating the adhesive film with an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp at a wavelength of 405 nm and an illuminance of 80 mW / cm. 2The preferred lower limit of the anchoring force to the substrate at 23°C after irradiation with light of 405 nm wavelength for 300 seconds (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "anchoring force of the adhesive layer to the substrate at 23°C after irradiation with light of 405 nm wavelength") is 0.10 N / 25 mm. When the anchoring force of the adhesive layer to the substrate at 23°C after irradiation with light of 405 nm wavelength is 0.10 N / 25 mm or more, peeling at the interface between the adhesive layer and the substrate can be suppressed, and the handleability of the resulting adhesive film can be further improved. A more preferred lower limit of the anchoring force of the adhesive layer to the substrate at 23°C after irradiation with light of 405 nm wavelength is 0.15 N / 25 mm. There is no particular preferred upper limit of the anchoring force of the adhesive layer to the substrate at 23°C after irradiation with light of 405 nm wavelength, but about 20 N / 25 mm is a practical upper limit. The anchoring strength of the adhesive layer to the substrate at 23°C after irradiation with light of 405 nm wavelength was measured by the method described above, in which light of 405 nm wavelength was irradiated from an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp at an illuminance of 80 mW / cm. 2 The measurement can be carried out using the adhesive film irradiated with light having a wavelength of 405 nm from an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp for 300 seconds. When the adhesive film is a single-sided adhesive film, the direction in which the adhesive film is irradiated with light having a wavelength of 405 nm from an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp may be from the substrate side or from the adhesive layer side. When irradiating with light from the adhesive layer side, irradiation is carried out without removing a separator such as a release PET film that protects the adhesive layer.

[0101] Methods for adjusting the anchoring strength of the adhesive layer to a substrate at 23°C and the anchoring strength of the adhesive layer to a substrate at 23°C after irradiation with light having a wavelength of 405 nm include, for example, a method of directly applying an adhesive to a substrate when producing an adhesive film, a method of subjecting a substrate to surface treatment such as corona treatment, plasma treatment, sandblasting, chemical etching, or application of a treatment agent when producing an adhesive film, a method of adjusting the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the adhesive layer, and adjusting the type and content of an adhesive strength adjuster.

[0102] The adhesive layer has a shear storage modulus at 23°C of preferably 1 x 10 4 The shear storage modulus of the adhesive layer at 23°C is 1 × 10 4 When the shear storage modulus of the adhesive layer is 5×10 Pa or more, the obtained adhesive film has better heat resistance. 4 Pa, and a more preferable lower limit is 1×10 5 The preferred upper limit of the shear storage modulus of the adhesive layer at 23°C is 5 x 10 7 The shear storage modulus of the adhesive layer at 23°C is 5 × 10 7 When the adhesive film has a substrate, the adhesive layer has a stronger anchoring force to the substrate, and the adhesive film has a stronger handleability. 7 Pa, and a more preferable upper limit is 1×10 7 Pa. The shear storage modulus of the adhesive layer at 23°C can be measured, for example, by dynamic viscoelasticity measurement. Specifically, for example, a measurement sample of only the adhesive layer is prepared by stacking the adhesive layers to a thickness of about 1 mm, and the prepared sample is subjected to dynamic viscoelasticity measurement using a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device (manufactured by IT Measurement Control Co., Ltd., "DVA-200" or the like) under measurement conditions of shear mode, heating rate of 10°C / min, measurement temperature of 0°C to 300°C, and frequency of 10 Hz.

[0103] In the adhesive film of the present invention, the adhesive layer is irradiated with a 405 nm wavelength, 80 mW / cm irradiance, irradiated by an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp. 2 The preferred lower limit of the tensile storage modulus at 23°C after irradiation with light having a wavelength of 405 nm for 300 seconds (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as "the tensile storage modulus at 23°C after irradiation with light having a wavelength of 405 nm of the adhesive layer") is 1.0 × 10 8 The adhesive layer has a tensile storage modulus of 1.0 × 10 at 23°C after being irradiated with light having a wavelength of 405 nm. 8The more preferable lower limit of the tensile storage modulus at 23°C after irradiation of the adhesive layer with light having a wavelength of 405 nm is 1.5 × 10 8 N / 25 mm, and a more preferable lower limit is 2.0 × 10 8 The preferred upper limit of the tensile storage modulus of the adhesive layer at 23° C. after irradiation with light having a wavelength of 405 nm is 5.0×10 9 The adhesive layer has a tensile storage modulus of 5.0 × 10 at 23°C after irradiation with light having a wavelength of 405 nm. 9 When the adhesive film has a substrate, the adhesive layer has a stronger anchoring force with respect to the substrate, and the adhesive film has a stronger handleability. A more preferred upper limit of the tensile storage modulus at 23°C after irradiation of the adhesive layer with light having a wavelength of 405 nm is 4.0 × 10 9 N / 25 mm, and a more preferable upper limit is 3.0 × 10 9 The tensile storage modulus at 23°C after irradiation of the adhesive layer with light having a wavelength of 405 nm was measured by the above-mentioned method for measuring the shear storage modulus at 23°C of the adhesive layer, in which the integrated light intensity of light having a wavelength of 405 nm was 20,000 mJ / cm using an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp. 2 The measured value can be obtained by using a measurement sample irradiated so that the measured value satisfies the above equation and performing measurement in a tensile mode instead of a shear mode.

[0104] Methods for adjusting the shear storage modulus of the adhesive layer at 23°C and the tensile storage modulus of the adhesive layer at 23°C after irradiation with light having a wavelength of 405 nm include, for example, changing the composition of the adhesive layer (for example, adding an inorganic filler), adjusting the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the adhesive layer, and adjusting the degree of crosslinking of the curable resin.

[0105] The adhesive layer preferably has a glass transition temperature (Tg) in an uncured state greater than 0°C and less than 100°C. When the adhesive layer has a glass transition temperature greater than 0°C, the heat resistance of the resulting adhesive film is further improved. When the adhesive layer has a glass transition temperature less than 100°C, the anchoring force of the adhesive layer to the substrate is further improved when the adhesive film has a substrate. The glass transition temperature of the adhesive layer is more preferably 5°C in lower limit, more preferably 95°C in upper limit, even more preferably 8°C in lower limit, and even more preferably 90°C in upper limit. The glass transition temperature of the adhesive layer can be measured, for example, by dynamic viscoelasticity measurement. Specifically, for example, a measurement sample of only the adhesive layer is prepared by stacking the adhesive layers to a thickness of about 1 mm. The temperature at which the loss tangent becomes maximum can be measured by performing dynamic viscoelasticity measurement on the obtained measurement sample using a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device (such as "DVA-200" manufactured by IT Measurement Control Co., Ltd.) under measurement conditions of shear mode, a heating rate of 10°C / min, a measurement temperature of 0°C to 300°C, and a frequency of 10 Hz.

[0106] The adhesive layer was irradiated with an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp at a wavelength of 405 nm and an illuminance of 80 mW / cm 2The glass transition temperature (Tg) after irradiating with light having a wavelength of 405 nm for 300 seconds (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "glass transition temperature of the adhesive layer after irradiating with light having a wavelength of 405 nm") is preferably 0°C in lower limit and 100°C in upper limit. When the adhesive layer has a glass transition temperature of 0°C or higher after curing by irradiation with light having a wavelength of 405 nm, the heat resistance of the resulting adhesive film is further improved. When the adhesive layer has a glass transition temperature of 100°C or lower after curing by irradiation with light having a wavelength of 405 nm, the anchoring force of the adhesive layer to the substrate is further improved, and the handleability of the resulting adhesive film is further improved. The glass transition temperature of the adhesive layer after irradiating with light having a wavelength of 405 nm is more preferably 5°C in lower limit and more preferably 95°C in upper limit, even more preferably 8°C in lower limit and even more preferably 90°C in upper limit. The glass transition temperature of the adhesive layer after irradiation with light having a wavelength of 405 nm was measured using an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp at a wavelength of 405 nm and an illuminance of 80 mW / cm in the above-described method for measuring the glass transition temperature of the adhesive layer. 2 The measurement can be performed by irradiating a measurement sample with light of 1000 kJ / s for 300 seconds.

[0107] Methods for adjusting the glass transition temperature of the adhesive layer and the glass transition temperature of the adhesive layer after irradiation with light having a wavelength of 405 nm include, for example, changing the composition of the adhesive layer (for example, adding an inorganic filler) and adjusting the degree of crosslinking of the curable resin.

[0108] The adhesive layer preferably has an upper limit of 1.0% water absorption rate (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "water absorption rate of the adhesive layer") when left uncured for one day under conditions of 23°C and 50% RH. When the water absorption rate of the adhesive layer is 1.0% or less, the water absorption rate of the resulting adhesive film can be more easily adjusted to within the above-mentioned range. A more preferred upper limit of the water absorption rate of the adhesive layer is 0.9%, and an even more preferred upper limit is 0.8%. There is no particular lower limit for the water absorption rate of the adhesive layer, but approximately 0.2% is a practical lower limit. The water absorption rate of the adhesive layer can be measured by the following method. That is, the adhesive layer is cut into a size of 20 mm wide x 50 mm long to prepare a test piece, and the test piece is dried for one hour under an environment of 130°C and 50% RH. The mass W of the test piece immediately after drying is 0 Furthermore, the mass W 0 After the measurement, the test piece was left standing for one day under the conditions of 23°C and 50% RH, and the mass W 1 The obtained W 0 , W 1 The water absorption rate is calculated using the following formula (i): Water absorption rate (%) = {(W 1 -W 0 ) / W 0}×100 (i) (W 0 : Mass of the test piece immediately after drying for 1 hour under an environment of 130 ° C. and 50% RH, W 1 : Mass of the test piece after leaving it for 1 day under the conditions of 23 ° C and 50% RH)

[0109] The adhesive layer preferably has a thickness of 1 μm at its lower limit and 500 μm at its upper limit. By ensuring that the thickness of the adhesive layer is within the above range, the resulting adhesive film has sufficient adhesive strength at room temperature. Furthermore, the water absorption of the resulting adhesive film can be more easily adjusted within the above range. The adhesive layer more preferably has a thickness of 5 μm at its lower limit and 250 μm at its upper limit, and even more preferably 10 μm at its lower limit and 200 μm at its upper limit.

[0110] The adhesive film of the present invention preferably has a substrate. By having the adhesive film of the present invention have a substrate, the adhesive film can be more easily re-peeled without a backing when peeled off by heating, and the handleability of the adhesive film of the present invention is further improved.

[0111] The substrate preferably contains a resin material having excellent heat resistance. Examples of the resin material include a resin (A1) having a repeating unit containing at least one selected from the group consisting of an ether bond, a ketone group, and an ester bond in its main chain skeleton, a polyimide, a polyamide, and the like. Among these, the substrate preferably contains the resin (A1). When the substrate contains the resin (A1), the light transmittance of the substrate is improved, allowing the adhesive layer to be photocured through the substrate. In addition, the water absorption of the substrate, as described below, is reduced, thereby further suppressing the occurrence of foaming during high-temperature processing, and further preventing peeling during high-temperature processing. Such resin materials may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0112] Examples of the resin (A1) include polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), and polyetherimide (PEI).

[0113] It is preferable that at least one surface of the substrate has an easy-adhesion layer. By having at least one surface of the substrate have an easy-adhesion layer, the adhesion between the adhesive layer and the substrate is further improved, and the anchoring force of the adhesive layer to the substrate at 23°C is further improved. As a result, the handleability of the obtained adhesive film is further improved.

[0114] The adhesion-enhancing layer preferably includes at least one layer selected from a corona-treated layer, a plasma-treated layer, a sandblasted layer, a chemically etched layer, and a treatment-coated layer. By including at least one layer selected from a corona-treated layer, a plasma-treated layer, a sandblasted layer, a chemically etched layer, and a treatment-coated layer, the adhesion between the adhesive layer and the substrate is further improved, thereby further improving the anchoring force of the adhesive layer to the substrate at 23°C and further improving the handleability of the resulting adhesive film. It is particularly preferred that the adhesion-enhancing layer include a corona-treated layer. Examples of methods for forming the corona-treated layer include using a high-frequency power supply (e.g., "AGI-020" manufactured by Kasuga Electric Co., Ltd.) to perform corona treatment on the substrate under conditions of an output of 0.3 kW, an electrode distance of 1 mm, and a speed of 2 m / min to form a corona-treated layer. Alternatively, commercially available products in which the substrate has been subjected to corona treatment may be used. Examples of the treating agent that forms the treating agent coating layer include polyethyleneimine graft polymers, acrylic polymers, polyimides, bismaleimide resins, silane coupling agents, titanium coupling agents, other known adhesion-imparting agents, and pressure-sensitive adhesives.

[0115] When the easy-adhesion layer is a treatment agent coating layer, the thickness of the treatment agent coating layer preferably has a lower limit of 0.1 μm and an upper limit of 1000 μm. When the thickness of the treatment agent coating layer is within the above range, the adhesion between the adhesive layer and the substrate is further improved, and the anchoring force of the adhesive layer to the substrate at 23° C. is further improved. As a result, the handleability of the obtained adhesive film is further improved. A more preferred lower limit of the thickness of the treatment agent coating layer is 1 μm, a more preferred upper limit is 100 μm, and an even more preferred upper limit is 50 μm. When the easy-adhesion layer is other than a treatment agent coating layer, the thickness of the easy-adhesion layer is not particularly limited, but is substantially 1 nm or more and 100 μm or less.

[0116] The substrate preferably has a lower limit of the glass transition temperature (Tg) of 100°C. When the substrate has a glass transition temperature of 100°C or higher, the heat resistance of the adhesive film obtained is further improved. A more preferred lower limit of the glass transition temperature of the substrate is 120°C. Furthermore, the upper limit of the glass transition temperature of the substrate is not particularly limited, but a substantial upper limit is 300°C. The glass transition temperature of the substrate can be measured, for example, by dynamic viscoelasticity measurement. Specifically, for example, the glass transition temperature of the substrate can be measured as the temperature at which the loss tangent becomes maximum by performing dynamic viscoelasticity measurement using a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device (such as "DVA-200" manufactured by IT Measurement Control Co., Ltd.) under measurement conditions of shear mode, a heating rate of 10°C / min, a measurement temperature of 0°C to 300°C, and a frequency of 10 Hz.

[0117] The preferred lower limit of the melting point of the substrate is 150°C. When the melting point of the substrate is 150°C or higher, the heat resistance of the resulting adhesive film is further improved. There are no particular restrictions on the upper limit of the melting point of the substrate, but the practical upper limit is 400°C. The melting point of the substrate can be measured, for example, by the following method. That is, the substrate is subjected to differential scanning calorimetry using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) (manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science Corporation, "DSC-7020") under measurement conditions of a nitrogen atmosphere, a heating rate of 10°C / min, and a measurement temperature of 30°C to 500°C, and the melting point of the substrate can be measured by reading the temperature showing the endothermic peak from the obtained differential scanning calorimetry curve.

[0118] The substrate preferably has a lower limit of 50% for light transmittance at a wavelength of 405 nm (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as "light transmittance of the substrate"). When the light transmittance of the substrate is 50% or more, a sufficient amount of light can be irradiated onto the adhesive layer, making it possible to easily cure the adhesive layer of the adhesive film. A more preferred lower limit of the light transmittance of the substrate is 60%, and an even more preferred lower limit is 65%. Furthermore, the preferred upper limit of the light transmittance of the substrate is 70%. When the light transmittance of the substrate is 70% or less, it is possible to prevent light from being irradiated onto the adherend when irradiating the adhesive film with light, thereby making it possible to cure the adhesive film while preventing deterioration in the quality of the adherend. Note that, in this specification, the light transmittance at a wavelength of 405 nm can be measured using a spectrophotometer (such as the "V-670" manufactured by JASCO Corporation), for example.

[0119] The substrate preferably has a thickness upper limit of 100 μm. When the substrate has a thickness of 100 μm or less, the resulting adhesive film becomes flexible and can be stored in a rolled state. In addition, the adhesive film has better ultraviolet transmittance. The substrate more preferably has a thickness upper limit of 75 μm, and even more preferably 50 μm. In addition, the substrate preferably has a thickness lower limit of 5 μm. When the substrate has a thickness of 5 μm or more, the resulting adhesive film has stiffness and is easier to handle. The substrate more preferably has a lower limit of 10 μm, and even more preferably 15 μm.

[0120] The preferred lower limit of the thickness ratio of the substrate relative to the total thickness of the adhesive film of the present invention is 5%. When the thickness ratio of the substrate is 5% or more, the water absorption rate of the adhesive film described below can be easily adjusted to an appropriate range. A more preferred lower limit of the thickness ratio of the substrate is 8%, and an even more preferred lower limit is 10%. Furthermore, a preferred upper limit of the thickness ratio of the substrate is 50%. When the thickness ratio of the substrate is 50% or less, the adhesive film of the present invention does not become too rigid as a whole, and the adhesive film has excellent followability to a release film that protects the adhesive layer and to a core material used when the adhesive film is rolled. A more preferred upper limit of the thickness ratio of the substrate is 40%, and an even more preferred upper limit is 35%.

[0121] When the adhesive film of the present invention has a substrate, it may be a single-sided adhesive film having the adhesive layer on one side of the substrate, or a double-sided adhesive film having the adhesive layer on both sides of the substrate. In particular, from the viewpoint of being able to use a rigid support such as glass to support a thin adherend having a thickness of 50 μm or less, the adhesive film of the present invention is preferably a double-sided adhesive film having the adhesive layer on both sides of the substrate.

[0122] The method for producing the adhesive film of the present invention is not particularly limited, and it can be produced using a conventionally known method. Specifically, for example, the curable resin and optional additives are first mixed using a bead mill, ultrasonic dispersion, homogenizer, high-power disperser, roll mill, or the like to prepare an adhesive solution. Next, the obtained adhesive solution is applied to a release PET film and dried at 130°C for 10 minutes to produce a laminated film having an adhesive layer, and a total of two laminated films are produced in the same manner. Then, a double-sided adhesive film having a substrate and adhesive layers on both sides of the substrate can be produced by, for example, stacking the laminated film on both sides of the substrate so that the adhesive layers face each other.

[0123] When producing an adhesive film, it is preferable to form an adhesive layer by directly applying an adhesive solution to a substrate. By directly applying an adhesive solution to a substrate to form an adhesive layer, the adhesion between the adhesive layer and the substrate is further improved, so that the anchoring force of the adhesive layer to the substrate at 23°C is further improved, and the handleability of the resulting adhesive film is further improved.

[0124] When producing an adhesive film, it is preferable to subject the substrate to a surface treatment before use. By subjecting the substrate to a surface treatment, the adhesion between the adhesive layer and the substrate is further improved, thereby further improving the anchoring force of the adhesive layer to the substrate at 23°C, and further improving the handleability of the resulting adhesive film. Examples of surface treatments include corona treatment, plasma treatment, sandblasting, chemical etching, and application of a treatment agent (e.g., polyethyleneimine graft polymer, acrylic polymer, polyimide, bismaleimide resin, silane coupling agent, titanium coupling agent, other known adhesion-imparting agent, pressure-sensitive adhesive, etc.) (treatment agent application). Of these, corona treatment is preferred. Examples of methods for corona treatment include corona treatment of the substrate using a high-frequency power supply (e.g., "AGI-020" manufactured by Kasuga Electric Co., Ltd.) under conditions of an output of 0.3 kW, an electrode distance of 1 mm, and a speed of 2 m / min. Commercially available products in which the substrate has been corona-treated may also be used. The present invention also provides a method for producing an adhesive film of the present invention having a substrate, which includes a step of performing at least one surface treatment selected from corona treatment, plasma treatment, sandblasting, chemical etching, and application of a treatment agent on at least one surface of the substrate.

[0125] When producing an adhesive film, it is preferable to dry the substrate before use. By drying the substrate before use, the moisture content of the substrate in the resulting adhesive film is reduced, thereby making it possible to further suppress the occurrence of foaming during high-temperature processing. As a result, the heat resistance of the resulting adhesive film is further improved, and the resulting adhesive film is further prevented from peeling in a high-temperature environment. Drying conditions include, for example, leaving the film standing for 10 minutes in an environment of 130°C and 50% RH. In addition, in the drying treatment of the substrate described above, the substrate alone may be placed in an oven to dry, or a laminate formed by laminating the substrate and the adhesive layer may be placed in an oven to dry.

[0126] The adhesive film of the present invention is irradiated with an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp at a wavelength of 405 nm and an illuminance of 100 mW / cm. 2 The cumulative light intensity is 20,000 mJ / cm 2 The lower limit of the 5% weight loss temperature after 200 seconds of irradiation so as to obtain a temperature (hereinafter, sometimes simply referred to as "5% weight loss temperature after curing the adhesive layer of the adhesive film of the present invention") is 390°C. When the 5% weight loss temperature after curing the adhesive layer of the adhesive film of the present invention is 390°C or higher, the adhesive film of the present invention has excellent heat resistance. A preferred lower limit of the 5% weight loss temperature after curing the adhesive layer of the adhesive film of the present invention is 400°C, and a more preferred lower limit is 420°C. There is no particular upper limit to the 5% weight loss temperature after curing the adhesive layer of the adhesive film of the present invention, but the practical upper limit is about 600°C. The 5% weight loss temperature after curing the adhesive layer of the adhesive film of the present invention can be measured by simultaneous differential thermal and thermogravimetry measurement. Specifically, it can be measured, for example, by the following method. That is, the adhesive film is cut into a size of 25 mm wide x 50 mm long to prepare a test piece. The obtained test piece was irradiated with an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp at a wavelength of 405 nm and an illuminance of 100 mW / cm 2 The cumulative light intensity is 20,000 mJ / cm 2The adhesive layer is cured by irradiating for 200 seconds so that the temperature becomes equal to the cured temperature. The test piece with the cured adhesive layer is weighed into an aluminum pan, and the aluminum pan is set in a differential thermal and thermogravimetric simultaneous analyzer. The temperature is increased from 30°C to 500°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min under a nitrogen atmosphere. The temperature at which the mass of the adhesive film decreases by 5% compared to the mass before heating can be obtained as the 5% weight loss temperature. As the differential thermal and thermogravimetric simultaneous analyzer, for example, a STA7200RV (manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science Corporation) can be used. Note that no release PET film to protect the adhesive layer is laminated on the test piece.

[0127] Methods for adjusting the 5% weight loss temperature after curing of the adhesive layer of the adhesive film of the present invention to fall within the above-mentioned range include, for example, changing the composition of the adhesive layer (for example, by adding an inorganic filler), changing the type of substrate, etc.

[0128] The adhesive film of the present invention has a preferred lower limit of the 10% weight loss temperature of 425°C. When the adhesive film of the present invention has a 10% weight loss temperature of 425°C or higher, the adhesive film of the present invention has better heat resistance. The lower limit of the 10% weight loss temperature of the adhesive film of the present invention is more preferably 440°C, and even more preferably 450°C. There is no particular preferred upper limit of the 10% weight loss temperature of the adhesive film of the present invention, but the substantial upper limit is about 600°C. At the 10% weight loss temperature of the adhesive film of the present invention described above, the adhesive layer of the adhesive film is an uncured adhesive layer that has not been subjected to a curing operation. The 10% weight loss temperature of the adhesive film of the present invention can be measured using a simultaneous differential thermal and thermogravimetric analyzer. Specifically, it can be measured by the following method. That is, the adhesive film is cut into a size of 5 mm wide x 10 mm long to prepare a test piece. The obtained test piece is weighed into an aluminum pan, and the aluminum pan is set in a differential thermal and thermogravimetric simultaneous analyzer. The temperature is increased from 30°C to 500°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min under a nitrogen atmosphere. The temperature at which the mass of the adhesive film decreases by 10% compared to the mass before heating can be obtained as the 10% weight loss temperature. As the differential thermal and thermogravimetric simultaneous analyzer, for example, a STA7200RV (manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science Corporation) can be used. Note that no release PET film to protect the adhesive layer is laminated on the test piece.

[0129] Methods for adjusting the 10% weight loss temperature of the adhesive film of the present invention within the above-mentioned range include, for example, changing the composition of the adhesive layer (for example, by adding an inorganic filler), changing the type of substrate, or changing the thickness ratio of the adhesive layer to the substrate.

[0130] In the adhesive film of the present invention, the light transmittance at a wavelength of 405 nm is preferably 10% at a lower limit. A light transmittance of 10% or more at a wavelength of 405 nm allows a sufficient amount of light to be irradiated onto the adhesive layer, thereby enabling the adhesive layer to be sufficiently cured. A more preferred lower limit of the light transmittance is 15%, and an even more preferred lower limit is 20%. Furthermore, a preferred upper limit of the light transmittance at a wavelength of 405 nm is 70%. A light transmittance of 70% or less can prevent light from irradiating the adherend when irradiating the adhesive film with light, thereby enabling the adhesive film to be peeled off while preventing deterioration in the quality of the adherend. A more preferred upper limit of the light transmittance at a wavelength of 405 nm is 60%, and an even more preferred upper limit is 50%.

[0131] The adhesive film of the present invention has a preferred lower limit of the total thickness of 30 μm and a preferred upper limit of 500 μm. When the adhesive film of the present invention has a total thickness of 30 μm or more, the adhesive film can initially have sufficient pressure-sensitive or heat-sensitive adhesive strength. When the adhesive film has a total thickness of 500 μm or less, the adhesive film can exhibit high flexibility, can exhibit high conformability to an adherend having irregularities, and can be more easily peeled off. The adhesive film's total thickness is more preferably 50 μm lower limit, more preferably 300 μm upper limit, even more preferably 75 μm lower limit, and even more preferably 200 μm upper limit.

[0132] The adhesive film of the present invention preferably has a water absorption rate of 0.60% or less when left standing for 1 day under conditions of 23°C and 50% RH. A water absorption rate of 0.60% or less can suppress foaming between film layers during high-temperature processing, thereby preventing the adhesive film of the present invention from peeling off during high-temperature processing. A more preferred upper limit of the water absorption rate of the adhesive film of the present invention is 0.40%. There is no particular preferred lower limit for the water absorption rate of the adhesive film of the present invention, but the substantial lower limit is about 0.10%. The water absorption rate of the adhesive film of the present invention can be measured by the same method as for the water absorption rate of the adhesive layer described above.

[0133] Methods for adjusting the water absorption rate of the adhesive film to fall within the above-mentioned range include, for example, changing the composition of the adhesive layer, changing the type of substrate, using a substrate that has been dried during the production of the adhesive film, and changing the ratio of the thickness of the substrate to the total thickness of the film.

[0134] Because the adhesive film of the present invention has high heat resistance, it can be suitably used for protecting, adhering, and temporarily fixing adherends that undergo high-temperature processing at 300°C or higher. For example, during processing of electronic components such as semiconductors, the adhesive film of the present invention can be used to temporarily fix electronic components to a support plate via the adhesive film of the present invention, or to protect electronic components by attaching the adhesive film of the present invention to the electronic components, in order to facilitate handling and prevent damage to the electronic components. In particular, the adhesive film of the present invention has excellent removability, making it particularly suitable for temporary fixing of electronic components. Note that, because the adhesive film of the present invention requires heating for re-peeling, it has adequate adhesive strength at room temperature and can be used for permanent bonding of adherends in some applications without any problems. Examples of such high-temperature processing include heat-resistant treatment of semiconductors.

[0135] After curing, the peak probe tack at 60°C was 0.30 N / cm 2The present invention also provides an adhesive resin composition that has the above properties and a 5% weight loss temperature after curing of 390° C. or higher. The adhesive resin composition of the present invention has excellent heat resistance and can be easily removed from even uneven adherends by heating.

[0136] The adhesive resin composition of the present invention may be a photocurable type that is cured by irradiation with light, or may be a thermosetting type that is cured by heating to a high temperature.

[0137] The adhesive resin composition of the present invention preferably contains a curable resin. The curable resin preferably contains a resin having an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain. The resin having an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain has extremely excellent heat resistance due to the imide skeleton, and is less likely to decompose the main chain even when subjected to high-temperature processing at 300°C or higher. Therefore, by including a curable resin containing a resin having an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of its main chain, the adhesive resin composition obtained has excellent heat resistance, and can further suppress outgassing during high-temperature processing and the occurrence of voids and lifting between the adhesive and the adherend. In addition, it can prevent increased adhesion to the adherend and the occurrence of adhesive residue when peeled from the adherend.

[0138] Examples of the resin having an imide skeleton in the repeating unit of the main chain include the same resins as those used in the adhesive film of the present invention described above.

[0139] The curable resin preferably further contains the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer used in the adhesive film of the present invention described above. By containing the polyfunctional monomer or polyfunctional oligomer in the curable resin, three-dimensional reticulation proceeds more efficiently as curing progresses, and the adhesive resin composition of the present invention can be more effectively prevented from increasing adhesion or leaving adhesive residue upon peeling.

[0140] The curable resin preferably contains a compound having a maleimide group. By containing the compound having a maleimide group, the adhesive resin composition of the present invention has better heat resistance. Examples of the compound having a maleimide group include the same compounds as those used in the adhesive film of the present invention described above.

[0141] The adhesive resin composition of the present invention preferably further contains a polymerization initiator. By containing the polymerization initiator in the adhesive resin composition, the adhesive resin composition becomes more easily cured and the adhesion of the adhesive resin composition to the adherend during high-temperature processing can be more effectively suppressed, so that the adhesive resin composition obtained has improved removability from the adherend and can be more easily peeled from the adherend.

[0142] The polymerization initiator may be a photopolymerization initiator or a thermal polymerization initiator. Examples of the photopolymerization initiator include those similar to those used in the adhesive film of the present invention.

[0143] Examples of the thermal polymerization initiator include Perbutyl H and Percumyl H (both manufactured by NOF Corporation).

[0144] When the adhesive resin composition of the present invention is a photocurable type, it preferably further contains an ultraviolet absorber. By containing an ultraviolet absorber in the adhesive resin composition of the present invention, curing of the adhesive resin composition proceeds more efficiently. In addition, since the adhesive layer becomes more flexible, the probe tack peak value after curing of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention, which will be described later, is further improved.

[0145] Examples of the ultraviolet absorber include the same ones as those used in the adhesive film of the present invention.

[0146] The adhesive resin composition of the present invention preferably further contains a surface conditioner. When the adhesive resin composition of the present invention contains a surface conditioner, the surface conditioner bleeds out to the interface with the adherend, thereby further improving the removability of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention.

[0147] Examples of the surface conditioner include the same ones as those used in the adhesive film of the present invention.

[0148] The adhesive resin composition of the present invention may further contain a gas generating agent. By containing the gas generating agent, even after high-temperature processing at 300°C or higher, gas generated by irradiation with light or the like is released at the interface with the adherend, making it possible to peel the adherend more easily and without leaving any adhesive residue. Furthermore, even when peeling a thin adherend after high-temperature processing at 300°C or higher, damage to the adherend can be prevented.

[0149] Examples of the gas generating agent include the same as those used in the adhesive film of the present invention described above.

[0150] The adhesive resin composition of the present invention preferably further contains an inorganic filler. By containing the inorganic filler, the adhesive resin composition of the present invention can suppress a decrease in elastic modulus at high temperatures, and can further suppress peeling during high-temperature processing even when subjected to high-temperature processing at 300°C or higher.

[0151] Examples of the inorganic filler include the same ones as those used in the adhesive film of the present invention.

[0152] The adhesive resin composition of the present invention may contain known additives such as photosensitizers, heat stabilizers, antioxidants, antistatic agents, plasticizers, surfactants, and waxes, as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.

[0153] The method for producing the adhesive resin composition of the present invention is not particularly limited, and it can be produced by using a conventionally known method. Specifically, for example, the above-mentioned curable resin and additives to be blended as necessary can be first mixed using a bead mill, ultrasonic dispersion, homogenizer, high-power disperser, roll mill, etc. to prepare a solution containing the adhesive resin composition.

[0154] The adhesive resin composition of the present invention has a lower limit of the peak probe tack at 60°C after curing of 0.30 N / cm 2The adhesive resin composition of the present invention, after curing, has a peak probe tack value of 0.30 N / cm at 60°C. 2 Because of the above, the adhesive resin composition of the present invention can be easily re-peeled from an adherend having unevenness by heating during peeling. A preferred lower limit of the peak value of probe tack at 60°C after curing of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention is 0.40 N / cm 2 , and a more preferable lower limit is 0.50 N / cm 2 The preferred upper limit of the peak value of the probe tack at 60°C after curing of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention is 5.00 N / cm 2 The adhesive resin composition of the present invention, after curing, has a peak probe tack value of 5.00 N / cm at 60°C. 2 The adhesive resin composition of the present invention has excellent heat resistance when the adhesive layer is cured at 60°C. A more preferable upper limit of the peak value of the probe tack at 60°C after curing is 4.00 N / cm. 2 , and a more preferable upper limit is 2.00 N / cm 2 The method for measuring the peak probe tack value at 60°C after curing of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention includes first coating a solution containing the adhesive resin composition of the present invention prepared by the above-mentioned method onto a release PET film or the like, and drying at 130°C for 10 minutes to prepare a film of the adhesive resin composition. Next, the prepared film of the adhesive resin composition is cured and measured in the same manner as the above-mentioned method for measuring the peak probe tack value at 60°C after curing of the adhesive layer in the adhesive film of the present invention.

[0155] The adhesive resin composition of the present invention has a peak probe tack value of preferably 5.00 N / cm at 23°C after curing. 2 The adhesive resin composition of the present invention, after curing, has a peak probe tack value of 5.00 N / cm at 23°C. 2 The adhesive resin composition of the present invention has a more preferable upper limit of the peak value of the probe tack at 23°C after curing of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention of 3.00 N / cm or less.2 , and a more preferable upper limit is 1.00 N / cm 2 The preferred lower limit of the peak value of the probe tack at 23°C after curing of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention is 0.10 N / cm 2 The adhesive resin composition of the present invention, after curing, has a peak probe tack value of 0.10 N / cm at 23°C. 2 The adhesive resin composition of the present invention has a more improved adhesive strength at room temperature. A more preferred lower limit of the peak probe tack value at 23°C after curing is 0.20 N / cm 2 , and a more preferable lower limit is 0.25 N / cm 2 The method for measuring the probe tack peak value at 23°C after curing of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention includes first coating a solution containing the adhesive resin composition of the present invention prepared by the above-mentioned method onto a release PET film or the like, and drying at 130°C for 10 minutes to prepare a film of the adhesive resin composition. Next, the prepared film of the adhesive resin composition is used to cure and measure the probe tack peak value at 23°C after curing of the adhesive layer in the adhesive film of the present invention as described above.

[0156] In the adhesive resin composition of the present invention, the ratio (V2) of the peak probe tack value at 60°C after curing to the peak probe tack value at 23°C after curing ((peak probe tack value at 60°C after curing) / (peak probe tack value at 23°C after curing)) preferably has a lower limit of 1.00 and an upper limit of 10.0. When V2 is within the above range, the resulting adhesive resin composition has superior heat resistance and superior removability from an adherend having unevenness. The lower limit of V2 is more preferably 2.00, and the upper limit is more preferably 8.00, and the even more preferably 3.00 and 6.00, respectively.

[0157] Examples of methods for adjusting the peak value of the probe tack at 60°C after curing of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention and the peak value of the probe tack at 23°C after curing of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention include methods of changing the composition (for example, a method of adding a low molecular weight compound having heat resistance (such as an ultraviolet absorber), a method of changing the surface conditioner, or a method of adding an inorganic filler).

[0158] The adhesive resin composition of the present invention has a lower limit of the 5% weight loss temperature after curing of 390°C. When the adhesive resin composition of the present invention has a 5% weight loss temperature after curing of 390°C or higher, the adhesive resin composition of the present invention has excellent heat resistance. The lower limit of the 5% weight loss temperature after curing of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention is preferably 400°C, more preferably 420°C. There is no particular preferred upper limit of the 5% weight loss temperature after curing of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention, but the practical upper limit is about 600°C. The 5% weight loss temperature after curing of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention can be measured by applying a solution containing the adhesive resin composition prepared by the above-mentioned method to a release PET film and drying at 130°C for 10 minutes to produce a film of the adhesive resin composition. The adhesive layer of the adhesive film of the present invention can then be cured and measured in the same manner as in the measurement of the 5% weight loss temperature after curing.

[0159] Examples of methods for adjusting the 5% weight loss temperature after curing of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention to fall within the above-mentioned range include methods of changing the composition (for example, a method of incorporating an inorganic filler, etc.).

[0160] The curing conditions for the adhesive resin composition of the present invention at the peak probe tack value at 60°C after curing, the peak probe tack value at 23°C after curing, and the 5% weight loss temperature after curing are, for example, as follows: That is, when the adhesive resin composition of the present invention is a photocurable type, the curing conditions are: a wavelength of 405 nm, an illuminance of 100 mW / cm 2 The accumulated light intensity is 20,000 mJ / cm 2The wavelength was 365 nm and the illuminance was 100 mW / cm. 2 The cumulative light intensity is 20,000 mJ / cm 2 In the case where the adhesive resin composition of the present invention is a thermosetting type, examples of the method include heating at 150°C for 30 minutes or at 200°C for 30 minutes.

[0161] The adhesive resin composition of the present invention may be used as a liquid adhesive or in an adhesive film having an adhesive layer containing the adhesive resin composition of the present invention. In particular, from the viewpoint of further improving handleability, it is preferably used in an adhesive film having an adhesive layer containing the adhesive resin composition of the present invention.

[0162] When the adhesive resin composition of the present invention is used for an adhesive film, the adhesive film may be a non-support type having no substrate, or a supported type having a substrate. In particular, the adhesive film is preferably a supported type having a substrate, from the viewpoint that the adhesive film can be peeled off without a backing when heated and the handleability of the adhesive film is further improved.

[0163] Examples of the substrate include those similar to those used in the adhesive film of the present invention.

[0164] Adhesives and adhesive films using the adhesive resin composition of the present invention have high heat resistance and can suppress peeling during high-temperature processing, making them suitable for use in protecting, adhering, and temporarily fixing adherends that undergo high-temperature processing at 300°C or higher. For example, during processing of electronic components such as semiconductors, these adhesives or adhesive films can be used to temporarily fix electronic components to a support plate via the adhesive or adhesive film, or to protect electronic components by attaching the adhesive or adhesive film to them, in order to facilitate handling and prevent damage to the electronic components. In particular, these adhesives and adhesive films have excellent removability and are therefore more suitable for temporary fixing of electronic components. Note that these adhesives and adhesive films require heating for removability, but they have adequate adhesive strength at room temperature and can be used without problems for permanent bonding of adherends, depending on the application.

[0165] A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device using an adhesive film, the method comprising the steps of: (I) temporarily fixing a semiconductor device using an adhesive film having an adhesive layer, the adhesive film having a 5% weight loss temperature of 390°C or higher, and a peak probe tack value of the adhesive layer of 0.30 N / cm 2 and (II) peeling the adhesive film from the semiconductor device at a temperature T° C. or higher. The method for producing a semiconductor device of the present invention includes a step of easily peeling the adhesive film from an adherend having irregularities, even when an adhesive film having excellent heat resistance is used, and thereby the semiconductor device produced is free from adhesive residue and has excellent production quality.

[0166] The adhesive film in the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of the present invention has an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer preferably contains a curable adhesive. The curable adhesive may be a photocurable adhesive that cures upon irradiation with light, or a thermosetting adhesive that cures upon heating. Examples of the photocurable adhesive include the same as the photocurable adhesive in the adhesive film of the present invention described above. Examples of the thermosetting adhesive include an adhesive containing a thermosetting adhesive resin composition of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention described above.

[0167] Examples of the adhesive layer include the same adhesive layer as in the adhesive film of the present invention described above, and the adhesive layer in the adhesive film of the present invention described above, where the photocurable adhesive is changed to a thermosetting adhesive, etc. Examples of the adhesive film include adhesive films having such an adhesive layer.

[0168] The adhesive layer has a probe tack peak value at 60°C of preferably 0.30 N / cm 2 The peak probe tack value of the adhesive layer at 60°C is 0.30 N / cm 2 By virtue of the above, in the step (II) described below, the adhesive film can be more easily peeled off by heating it during peeling, thereby further improving the manufacturing quality of the semiconductor device to be manufactured. A preferable lower limit of the peak value of the probe tack of the adhesive layer at 60°C is 0.40 N / cm 2 , and a more preferable lower limit is 0.50 N / cm 2 The preferred upper limit of the peak value of the probe tack of the adhesive layer at 60°C is 5.00 N / cm 2 The peak probe tack value of the adhesive layer at 60°C is 5.00 N / cm 2 When the adhesive film has a peak probe tack value of 4.00 N / cm at 60° C., the adhesive film has a suitable heat resistance and can be suitably used in the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of the present invention. 2 , and a more preferable upper limit is 2.00 N / cm 2In the manufacturing method of the present invention, with regard to the peak probe tack value at 60°C of the adhesive layer, the adhesive layer may be in an uncured state or after curing, but from the viewpoint of making it possible to more easily peel off the adhesive film during semiconductor manufacturing, it is more preferable that the peak probe tack value at 60°C of the adhesive layer after curing satisfies the above-mentioned range. Furthermore, the method for measuring the peak probe tack value at 60°C of the adhesive layer can be the same as the method for measuring the peak probe tack value at 60°C of the adhesive layer in the adhesive film of the present invention described above.

[0169] The adhesive film has a lower limit of 5% weight loss temperature of 390°C. When the adhesive film has a 5% weight loss temperature of 390°C or higher, the adhesive film has excellent heat resistance, and the manufacturing quality of the semiconductor device manufactured by the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device of the present invention is improved. The lower limit of the 5% weight loss temperature of the adhesive film is preferably 400°C, more preferably 420°C. There is no particular preferred upper limit of the 5% weight loss temperature, but the practical upper limit is about 600°C. Regarding the 5% weight loss temperature of the adhesive layer in the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device of the present invention, the adhesive layer may be in an uncured state or a cured state. However, from the viewpoint of making the adhesive film more easily peelable and further improving the manufacturing quality of the semiconductor device, it is more preferable that the 5% weight loss temperature of the adhesive layer after curing satisfies the above-mentioned range. The 5% weight loss temperature of the adhesive film can be measured by the same method as the 5% weight loss temperature after curing of the adhesive layer of the adhesive film of the present invention described above.

[0170] In the adhesive film of the method for producing a semiconductor device of the present invention, when measuring the peak value of the probe tack at 60°C of the adhesive layer and the 5% weight loss temperature of the adhesive film, examples of the curing conditions for the adhesive layer include the following: That is, when the adhesive resin composition of the present invention is a photocurable type, the curing conditions are: wavelength 405 nm, illuminance 100 mW / cm 2The cumulative light intensity is 20,000 mJ / cm 2 The wavelength was 365 nm and the illuminance was 100 mW / cm. 2 The cumulative light intensity is 20,000 mJ / cm 2 When the adhesive resin composition of the present invention is a thermosetting type, examples of the method include heating at 150°C for 30 minutes or at 200°C for 30 minutes.

[0171] The method for producing a semiconductor device of the present invention includes the steps of: (I) temporarily fixing a semiconductor device using the adhesive film; and (II) forming a semiconductor device on the adhesive layer such that the peak probe tack of the adhesive layer is 0.30 N / cm. 2 and step (II) of peeling the adhesive film from the semiconductor device at a temperature T° C. or higher. By including the steps (I) and (II) in the method for producing a semiconductor device of the present invention, the adhesive film can be easily peeled from the semiconductor device, thereby improving the production quality of the semiconductor device produced.

[0172] The temperature T°C in the step (II) is preferably 60°C or higher.

[0242] <Evaluation> The adhesive films obtained in the examples and comparative examples were evaluated by the following methods. The results are shown in Tables 6 to 10.

[0243] (1) Heat Resistance One release PET film was peeled off from the obtained adhesive film, and the film was attached to a 200 mm diameter, 600 μm thick glass (manufactured by SCHOTT, "Tempax") under vacuum and at a temperature of 40°C, and the adhesive film was cut into the shape of a silicon wafer. Next, the other release PET film from the attached adhesive film was peeled off, and a 200 mm diameter, 700 μm thick silicon wafer was attached to the surface opposite to the surface attached to the glass under vacuum and at 90°C using a pressure lamination device (manufactured by Takatori, "GWSM-300M") to produce a laminate. An ultra-high pressure mercury lamp was used to illuminate the glass side of the obtained laminate with a wavelength of 405 nm and an illuminance of 100 mW / cm. 2 The cumulative light intensity is 20,000 mJ / cm 2 The adhesive layer was cured by irradiating the laminate for 200 seconds so that the temperature reached 0°C. The prepared laminate was heated at 250°C using a hot plate (MSA Factory, "PH224 / 225"), and the time until the adhesive film of the laminate peeled or deformed was measured, with the time when heating of the laminate began being set to 0 seconds. The heat resistance of the adhesive film was evaluated by rating it as "○" if the adhesive film of the laminate did not peel or deform even after 30 minutes, rating it as "△" if the time until the adhesive film of the laminate peeled or deformed was 15 minutes or more but less than 30 minutes, and rating it as "×" if the time until the adhesive film of the laminate peeled or deformed was less than 15 minutes. Furthermore, for Examples 1-14 to 1-19, Comparative Examples 1-5 to 1-6, and Examples 3-1 to 3-11, the adhesive layer 1 side was attached to a silicon wafer and the adhesive layer 2 side was attached to glass, and the evaluation was performed.

[0244] (2) Removability from Concave and Convex Substrate (2-1) With Backing Instead of a silicon wafer, a test patterned wafer having a PBO film on its surface (Waltz Corporation, "WALTS-TEG FBW100A-0001JY", Cu pillar height: 35 μm, SnAg height on Cu pillar: 15 μm) was used, and a laminate was produced in the same manner as in "(1) Heat Resistance" above, except that an adhesive film was attached to the surface of the wafer having the Cu pillars. Using an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp, a wavelength of 405 nm and an illuminance of 100 mW / cm were used from the glass side of the obtained laminate. 2 The cumulative light intensity is 20,000 mJ / cm 2 After the adhesive layer was cured by irradiating the laminate for 200 seconds, the laminate was heated at 250°C for 30 minutes using a hot plate (MSA Factory, "PH224 / 225"). After natural air cooling, the laminate was irradiated from the glass side with a wavelength of 355 nm and an irradiation energy density of 700 mJ / cm. 2A pulsed laser with a frequency of 60 kHz was irradiated onto the entire glass surface, and the glass was peeled off from the adhesive film. After the glass was peeled off, polyimide tape (3M Corporation, "5413", width 25 mm) was attached to the adhesive film of the laminate, and the adhesive film was cut to the same width as the polyimide tape to prepare a backing sample for peelability evaluation. For the obtained peelability evaluation sample, the adhesive film was heated to 60°C, and the peel angle was adjusted to 180° using an angle-flexible adhesive / film peeling analyzer VPA-2S (Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd.), and the adhesive film was peeled off from the uneven wafer, and the 180° peel force (N / inch) was measured. The removability of the adhesive film from the uneven substrate was evaluated by assigning an "○" if the obtained 180° peel force was less than 20 N / inch, an "△" if it was 20 N / inch or more but less than 30 N / inch, and an "×" if it was 30 N / inch or more. For Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-2, 1-5 to 1-6, and 2-1 to 2-2, the evaluation of "(1) Heat resistance" described above was "x," so this evaluation was not performed. Furthermore, for Examples 1-14 to 1-19, Comparative Examples 1-5 to 1-6, and Examples 3-1 to 3-11, the adhesive layer 1 side was attached to a wafer with a test pattern having a PBO film on its surface, and the adhesive layer 2 side was attached to glass, and the evaluation was performed.

[0245] (2-2) No Backing The removability of the adhesive film from the uneven substrate was evaluated in the same manner as in the evaluation of "(1) With Backing" above, except that the adhesive film after peeling the glass from the laminate was not backed with polyimide tape. Note that this evaluation was only performed on adhesive films having a substrate, that is, Examples 1-14 to 1-19, Examples 2-1 to 2-14, and Examples 3-1 to 3-11. For Comparative Examples 1-5 to 1-6 and Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-2, the evaluation of "(1) Heat Resistance" above was "x", so this evaluation was not performed.

[0246] (3) Handling Ease The obtained adhesive film was cut into a size of 30 cm wide x 30 cm long to prepare a test piece, and the PET film protecting the adhesive layer was gently peeled off by hand from one corner of the test piece. The adhesive film was visually observed during and after peeling of the PET film, and the handling ease of the adhesive film was evaluated according to the following criteria: ○: The PET film was peeled off without any problems. ×: When peeling the PET film, the adhesive layer peeled off from the substrate or some lift occurred. Note that even if the evaluation is "X," the adhesive film of the present invention can be used without any problems depending on the application. Furthermore, this evaluation was performed only on adhesive films having a substrate, i.e., Examples 1-14 to 1-19, Comparative Examples 1-5 to 1-6, Examples 2-1 to 2-14, Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-2, and Examples 3-1 to 3-11. In addition, for Examples 1-14 to 1-19, Comparative Examples 1-5 to 1-6, and Examples 3-1 to 3-11, the PET film on the adhesive layer 1 side was peeled off before the evaluation.

[0247] For Examples 1-14 to 1-19, Comparative Examples 1-4 to 1-6, Examples 2-1 to 2-14, Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-2, and Examples 3-1 to 3-11, which have a substrate, the following optional evaluations (4-1) to (4-3) were performed to further evaluate heat resistance at high temperatures. If the evaluation of "(1) Heat Resistance" above is not "X", the adhesive film of the present invention has excellent heat resistance. Therefore, even if the evaluations of the following (4-1) to (4-3) are "X", the adhesive film of the present invention can be used without problems depending on the application. If the evaluations of the following (4-1) to (4-3) are not "X", the adhesive film of the present invention has even better heat resistance.

Furthermore, the separator on the other side of the adhesive film bonded to the quartz glass sheet was peeled off, and an 8-inch diameter bare silicon wafer was bonded to the film using a vacuum bonding device (manufactured by Takatori Corporation, "GWSM-300M") under conditions of a vacuum of 100 Pa, a temperature of 80°C, and a pressure of 0.5 MPa x 300 sec, to obtain a glass wafer laminate. An ultra-high pressure mercury lamp was used from the glass side of the obtained glass wafer laminate at a wavelength of 405 nm and an illuminance of 80 mW / cm. 2 For Example 2-9 having an adhesive layer on only one side, the separator of the adhesive film was peeled off, and the adhesive film was bonded to an 8-inch diameter silicon bare wafer using a vacuum bonding device (manufactured by Takatori Corporation, "GWSM-300M") under conditions of a vacuum of 100 Pa, a temperature of 40°C, and a pressure of 0.5 MPa x 300 sec., and then irradiated from the substrate side with light at a wavelength of 405 nm and an illuminance of 80 mW / cm. 2 A test sample was obtained by irradiating the test sample with light of 1000 nm for 300 seconds. The prepared test sample was placed in an oven heated to 260°C and left to stand in an environment of 260°C for 30 minutes, thereby conducting a heat resistance test. After the heat resistance test, the glass wafer laminate was removed from the oven, and the adhesive surfaces on both sides of the adhesive film were visually observed to confirm the ratio of the area where the adhesive film had peeled to the entire adhesive surface (peeled area). The heat resistance of the adhesive film at ultra-high temperatures was evaluated according to the following criteria: ○: The peeled area was about 5% or less. △: The peeled area was more than 5% but less than 30%. ×: The peeled area was about 30% or more.

[0249] (4-2) Weight loss rate of adhesive layer at 300 °C The adhesive films obtained in Examples 2-1 to 2-14 and Comparative Examples 2-1 to 2-2 were cut to a size of φ4 mm to prepare test specimens. The obtained test specimens were weighed into an aluminum pan, and the aluminum pan was set in a differential thermal-thermogravimetric simultaneous analyzer "STA7200RV (manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science Corporation)". The weight loss rate (%) of the adhesive layer at 300 °C was measured by comparing the weight when heated from 30 °C to 300 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C / min under a nitrogen atmosphere with the weight before heating. Note that no release PET film to protect the adhesive layer was laminated on the test specimen. Heat resistance was evaluated by marking "○" when the weight loss rate (%) of the obtained adhesive layer at 300 °C was 4% or less and "×" when it was greater than 4%.

Next, one release PET film was peeled from the cut adhesive film and attached to a silicon wafer with a diameter of 200 mm and a thickness of 700 μm under vacuum and 40 ° C. conditions. Next, the other release PET film was peeled off, and a glass sheet with a diameter of 200 mm and a thickness of 600 μm (manufactured by SCHOTT, "Tempax") was attached to the surface opposite the surface attached to the silicon wafer under vacuum and 90 ° C. conditions using a pressure lamination device (manufactured by Takatori, "GWSM-300M") to obtain a laminate. The obtained laminate was heated for 30 minutes using a 300°C hot plate (manufactured by ASONE, "ND-3HA").
