[0001] This application relates to a photosensitive resin composition, an insulating film, and a semiconductor device. Specifically, it relates to a photosensitive resin composition, an insulating film, and a semiconductor device comprising a polyimide resin. This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2023-0123315, filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on September 15, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] Interlayer insulating films or surface protective films of semiconductor devices require excellent mechanical properties and high heat resistance, and thus polyimide-based binder resins with excellent properties are used.
[0003] Along with the expansion of the application of miniaturization technology in the FAB (Fabrication) process, packaging technology is also undergoing significant changes to process technology for manufacturing high-performance, thin, and compact packages.
[0004] With the recent growth of the fan-out wafer-level packaging (FO-WLP) market due to changes in semiconductor post-processing technology, the demand for photosensitive polyimide (PSPI) for redistribution layer (RDL) that can be cured at low temperatures and has excellent physical properties is growing significantly.
[0005] In the case of negative type photosensitive polyimide, mechanical properties are relatively excellent, but it is difficult to achieve high resolution. In the case of positive type photosensitive polyimide, relatively high resolution is possible, but it is difficult to satisfy the mechanical properties.
[0006] Accordingly, there is a need for the development of a photosensitive polyimide material that satisfies both high resolution and mechanical properties.
[0007] Specifically, as a reliability evaluation of an insulating film manufactured including the photosensitive polyimide material, development of a method for deriving and evaluating factors that have a major influence on the reliability of the insulating film is required, and as the evaluation method, development of a high-reliability photosensitive resin composition and an insulating film including the same, which are included in a semiconductor device manufactured through a thermal cycle test (TC test), is required.

[0042] The measurement values of each property substituted into the above equation 1 may be determined by the composition of the photosensitive resin composition, curing conditions, etc.
[0043] Hereinafter, a method for measuring certain physical properties and calculating evaluation factors for a film sample of the photosensitive resin composition will be described in more detail.
[0044] [Method for calculating physical property measurements and evaluation factors]
[0045] A photosensitive resin composition including a polyimide resin according to one embodiment of the present invention is characterized by a temperature cycle evaluation factor (I TC, The Thermal Cycle Indicator) value may be greater than 1000.
[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the thermal cycle evaluation factor (Thermal Cycle Indicator) may be derived by curing a photosensitive resin composition including a polyimide resin to produce a film sample having a thickness of 10 μm and measuring the physical properties thereof.
[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, the I TCis a thermal cycle indicator of the film, and may mean a value calculated by measuring a predetermined property value included in Equation 1 for a film sample manufactured for evaluating the photosensitive resin composition, and using the measured property value.
[0048] By comparing the above temperature cycle evaluation factor values, a photosensitive resin composition having excellent elongation, sensitivity, and / or adhesion to a substrate and capable of forming a highly reliable insulating film can be provided in a simpler manner.
[0049] Specifically, the temperature cycle evaluation factor (I TC ) may be classified as a good product if the film has a desirable range, and the photosensitive resin composition used to manufacture the film classified as a good product, i.e., the film sample, may be evaluated as a good product.
[0050] In one embodiment of the present invention, the temperature cycle evaluation factor (I TC ) may be 1000 or more.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, the temperature cycle evaluation factor (I TC) may be a unitless value. Specifically, it may be a value without a separate unit, which is a result value calculated by dividing the measurement value of each property included in the above equation 1 by the standard unit of each property and then substituting it.
[0053] Here, the standard unit of each property is, Y is the Young's modulus (GPa) of the film, T is the tensile strength (Mpa) of the film, E is the breaking elongation (%) of the film, C is the thermal expansion coefficient (ppm / ℃) of the film, and C Cu may be the coefficient of thermal expansion of copper (ppm / ℃).
[0054] In other words, the measurement values of each property substituted into the above equation 1 are, where Y is the Young's modulus of the film / (GPa), T is the tensile strength of the film / (Mpa), E is the breaking elongation of the film / (%), C is the thermal expansion coefficient of the film / (ppm / ℃), and C Cu can be the coefficient of thermal expansion of copper / (ppm / ℃).
[0055] That is, the measured value of each property included in the above formula 1 may mean only the numerical value excluding the unit from the value converted to the standard unit of each property by converting the measured value of each property. For example, the thermal expansion coefficient of the copper may be 17 ppm / ℃, and in the above formula 1, the C Cu could be 17.
[0056] Temperature cycle evaluation factor (I) of the above film TC ) If the value satisfies the above-mentioned range, the photosensitive resin composition used to manufacture the film sample may be evaluated as a good product, and through the evaluation, a photosensitive resin composition having excellent elongation, sensitivity, and / or adhesion to a substrate and capable of forming a highly reliable insulating film may be provided.
[0057] In one embodiment of the present invention, the film is manufactured by applying a photosensitive resin composition containing a polyimide resin to a substrate to form a coating film and then curing the coating film, and may be a film sample manufactured for evaluating the photosensitive resin composition. The method for applying the resin composition containing the polyimide resin to the substrate is not particularly limited, and for example, methods such as screen printing, offset printing, flexographic printing, and inkjet printing may be used.
[0058] In one embodiment of the present invention, the curing may be performed under a temperature condition of 160°C or higher and 240°C or lower. Specifically, the curing may be performed under a temperature condition of 170°C or higher, 180°C or higher, 190°C or higher, or 200°C or higher, and may be performed under a temperature condition of 230°C or lower, 220°C or lower, 210°C or lower, or 200°C or lower.

For example, the preliminary curing may be performed under a temperature condition of 105° C. for a predetermined time, for example, 120 seconds, but is not limited thereto. The preliminary curing may be performed to secure fairness before the curing.
[0060] In one embodiment of the present invention, the curing may be performed by irradiating light having a wavelength of 250 nm to 450 nm. Specifically, the curing may be performed by irradiating light having a wavelength of 260 nm, 270 nm, 280 nm, 290 nm, or 300 nm, and may be performed by irradiating light having a wavelength of 440 nm, 430 nm, 420 nm, 410 nm, 400 nm, or 300 nm. In addition, as described below, the light irradiation may be performed using a light source such as a mercury vapor arc, a carbon arc, or a Xe arc. For example, in the case of a negative type photosensitive resin composition, the curing may be performed using an i-line stepper of 200 mJ / cm2 to 900 mJ / cm2, but is not limited thereto. Meanwhile, in the case of a positive type photosensitive resin composition, the above curing may be performed by controlling the temperature conditions described above without separate light irradiation.

Specifically, the thickness of the film may be 9 ㎛ or more and 10 ㎛ or less or 10 ㎛ or more and 11 ㎛ or less, and preferably 10 ㎛. In other words, the thickness of the film sample manufactured for evaluating the photosensitive resin composition may be 10±1 ㎛. The thickness of the film sample may have an error depending on the curing method and the measuring method, but when it increases or decreases by a certain value, the physical properties measured in the polyimide film may also change by a certain value.
[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, the Young's modulus may be measured by producing a sample having a size of 10 mm × 100 mm and a thickness of 10 ㎛ for a film sample manufactured for evaluation of the photosensitive resin composition, and measuring it under room temperature and a speed of 5 mm / min using a UTM (Universal Testing Machine).

[0065] In one embodiment of the present invention, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) may be measured using a thermal expansion coefficient measuring device at a temperature of 50°C or more and 100°C or less.

[0066] [Photosensitive resin composition]
[0067] One embodiment of the present invention is a photosensitive resin composition containing a polyimide resin, wherein the photosensitive resin composition is cured to produce a film having a thickness of 10 ㎛, and when the thermal expansion coefficient, Young's modulus, tensile strength and elongation at break of the film are measured, I according to the above-mentioned formula 1 TC A photosensitive resin composition having a value of 1000 or more is provided.

The photosensitive resin composition evaluated as a good product may have excellent elongation, sensitivity, and / or adhesion to a substrate, and may be capable of forming a highly reliable insulating film.
[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, the coefficient of thermal expansion, Young's modulus, tensile strength, and elongation at break of the film may be measured for a film having a thickness of 10 ㎛ manufactured by curing the photosensitive resin composition, i.e., a film sample manufactured for evaluating the photosensitive resin composition. The manufacturing of the film, measurement of the coefficient of thermal expansion, Young's modulus, tensile strength, and elongation at break may be the same as described above for the evaluation method of the film, and the measured values of each property substituted into the above formula 1 may mean only a numerical value obtained by excluding the unit from a value converted into a standard unit of each property.
[0070] The film may have a thermal expansion coefficient of 30 ppm / ℃ or more and 80 ppm / ℃ or less, measured in a temperature range of 50°C or more and 100°C or less.

The tensile strength may be realized by the film including a polyimide resin described below.
[0074] The film may have an elongation at break of 40% or more and 100% or less. Specifically, the film may have an elongation at break of 45% or more, 50% or more, or 55% or more, and may have an elongation at break of 95% or less, 90% or less, or 85% or less. The elongation at break may be realized by the film including a polyimide resin described below.
[0075] When the above film has a Young's modulus, tensile strength and elongation at break within the aforementioned range, the properties required for an insulating film including the photosensitive resin composition can be realized.
