[0010] The following describes the main embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the explicitly described embodiments. In this specification, a numerical range expressed using the symbol "to" means a range that includes the numerical values before and after "to" as the lower and upper limits, respectively. In this specification, the term "process" refers not only to an independent process but also to a process that cannot be clearly distinguished from other processes as long as the process achieves its intended effect. In the description of a group (atomic group), a notation that does not specify whether it is substituted or unsubstituted encompasses both unsubstituted groups (atomic groups) and substituted groups (atomic groups). For example, the term "alkyl group" encompasses not only unsubstituted alkyl groups (unsubstituted alkyl groups) but also substituted alkyl groups (substituted alkyl groups). In this specification, unless otherwise specified, "exposure" includes not only exposure using light but also exposure using particle beams such as electron beams and ion beams. In addition, examples of light used for exposure include actinic rays or radiation such as the bright line spectrum of a mercury lamp, far ultraviolet light typified by excimer lasers, extreme ultraviolet light (EUV light), X-rays, and electron beams. As used herein, "(meth)acrylate" refers to either or both of "acrylate" and "methacrylate," "(meth)acrylic" refers to either or both of "acrylic" and "methacrylic," and "(meth)acryloyl" refers to either or both of "acryloyl" and "methacryloyl." In the structural formulae herein, Me represents a methyl group, Et represents an ethyl group, Bu represents a butyl group, and Ph represents a phenyl group. As used herein, the term "total solid content" refers to the total mass of all components of the composition excluding the solvent. Furthermore, as used herein, the term "solid content concentration" refers to the mass percentage of the components other than the solvent relative to the total mass of the composition. As used herein, the weight average molecular weight (Mw) and number average molecular weight (Mn) are values measured using gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and are defined as polystyrene equivalent values, unless otherwise specified.In this specification, the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) and number-average molecular weight (Mn) can be determined, for example, by using an HLC-8220GPC (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) and guard columns HZ-L, TSKgel Super HZM-M, TSKgel Super HZ4000, TSKgel Super HZ3000, and TSKgel Super HZ2000 (all manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) connected in series. Unless otherwise specified, these molecular weights are measured using THF (tetrahydrofuran) as the eluent. However, when THF is not suitable as the eluent, for example, due to low solubility, NMP (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) can also be used. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, detection in GPC measurement is assumed to be performed using a UV (ultraviolet) detector at a wavelength of 254 nm. In this specification, when the positional relationship of each layer constituting a laminate is described as "above" or "below," it is sufficient that another layer is above or below the reference layer among the multiple layers being considered. In other words, a third layer or element may be interposed between the reference layer and the other layer, and the reference layer and the other layer do not need to be in contact with each other. Unless otherwise specified, the direction in which layers are stacked relative to the substrate (sealing layer) is referred to as "above." Alternatively, if a resin composition layer is present, the direction from the substrate to the resin composition layer is referred to as "above," and the opposite direction is referred to as "below." Note that such vertical directions are defined for convenience in this specification, and in actual embodiments, the "above" direction in this specification may differ from the vertically upward direction. In this specification, unless otherwise specified, the composition may contain two or more compounds corresponding to each component contained in the composition. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the content of each component in the composition means the total content of all compounds corresponding to that component. In this specification, unless otherwise specified, the temperature is 23° C., the atmospheric pressure is 101,325 Pa (1 atmosphere), and the relative humidity is 50% RH. In this specification, a combination of preferred embodiments is a more preferred embodiment.
[0011] (Laminate) The laminate of the present invention (hereinafter also simply referred to as "laminate") comprises a sealing layer containing a component having a circuit and a sealing material, a rewiring layer A in contact with one surface of the sealing layer and connected to the circuit of the component, and a rewiring layer B in contact with the other surface of the sealing layer and not directly connected to the circuit of the component, wherein the rewiring layer A and the rewiring layer B are formed to be electrically connectable to other components, the rewiring layer A includes an insulating pattern A and a conductive pattern A present between patterns of the insulating pattern A, the rewiring layer B includes an insulating pattern B and a conductive pattern B present between patterns of the insulating pattern B, and the insulating pattern A is made of a composition that, when cured at 230°C for 3 hours, has a mass loss rate of 10% or less when the cured product is maintained at 250°C for 1 hour.
[0012] The laminate of the present invention exhibits excellent reliability over a long period of time. The mechanism by which this effect is achieved is unknown, but is presumed to be as follows. Typically, outgassing occurs from the insulating pattern A, causing the insulating pattern to shrink over long-term use. However, the amount of shrinkage is very small, and no peeling occurs between the insulating pattern A and the components in contact with it. Therefore, it is unlikely that this immediately deteriorates device reliability. This very small amount of shrinkage causes undetectable microcracks in the insulating pattern A, which then allow moisture to penetrate into the microcracks over time, thereby causing partial corrosion of the components in contact with the insulating pattern A, i.e., the wiring metal, and resulting in a loss of long-term reliability as a device. In the present invention, the insulating pattern A is made of a composition that, when cured at 230°C for 3 hours, exhibits a mass loss rate of 10% or less when the cured product is maintained at 250°C for 1 hour. Therefore, the insulating pattern A is thought to be even less susceptible to shrinkage than conventional materials, and since microcracks are not generated and moisture penetration is suppressed, the wiring metal is protected for a long period of time, resulting in improved long-term reliability.
[0013] The laminate of the present invention will be described in detail below.
[0014] <Sealing Layer> The sealing layer preferably includes a sealing material and a member having a circuit, and the member having the circuit is embedded in the sealing material.
[0015] [Sealant] The sealant is not particularly limited and any known sealant can be used, but it is preferably a sealant obtained by curing a curable composition (curable adhesive). Examples of the curable composition include photocurable compositions such as ultraviolet-curable compositions, reactive curable compositions such as anaerobic-curable and moisture-curable compositions, and thermosetting compositions. Two-component mixture compositions and adhesive sheets may also be used. These curable compositions are preferably curable resin compositions, and examples of resins that can be used include epoxy resins, silicone resins, acrylic resins, phenolic resins, polyimide resins, imide resins, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) resins, PVB (polyvinyl butyral) resins, and EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) resins. The curable resin composition may further contain other components such as fillers, polymerization initiators, curing agents, and desiccants in addition to the resin. These components may be any conventionally known components in this field without any particular limitations.
[0016] [Circuit-Having Component] The circuit-having component is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include functional dies, wiring layers, etc. Preferably, the circuit or conductive member connected to the circuit in the circuit-having component is exposed on one side of the encapsulating layer. Preferably, the circuit or conductive member connected to the circuit in the circuit-having component is exposed on one side of the encapsulating layer, and neither the circuit nor the conductive member connected to the circuit is exposed on the other side. Preferably, the exposed circuit or conductive member connected to the circuit is connected to the rewiring layer A described below. Examples of the conductive member include a conductive pad. Examples of materials for the conductive member include copper, aluminum, nickel, vanadium, titanium, chromium, cobalt, gold, tungsten, tin, silver, and alloys containing at least one of these metals. Copper, aluminum, or an alloy containing at least one of these metals is preferred, copper or an alloy containing copper is more preferred, and copper is even more preferred.
[0017] -Functional Die- In one aspect of the present invention, the component having the circuit is preferably a functional die. In the present invention, the functional die refers to a chip having a built-in circuit, and refers to a die that exhibits functions such as memory and logic. The functional die is preferably a semiconductor chip. The functional die can be obtained, for example, by forming a circuit pattern on a substrate such as silicon and then dividing it into individual pieces. The functional die is not particularly limited, but examples include memory ICs, logic ICs, ASICs, and those further integrated into an integrated circuit.
[0018] The number of functional dies encapsulated in the encapsulating layer is not particularly limited, and may be one or more. However, an embodiment in which the encapsulating layer contains only one functional die is also a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The size of the functional die is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include functional dies having a side length of 100 μm to 10 cm.
[0019] - Wiring Layer - In another aspect of the present invention, the member having the circuit is preferably a wiring layer. In the present invention, the wiring layer refers to a layer consisting of simple wiring that does not exhibit functions such as memory or logic.
[0020] The number of wiring layers sealed in the sealing layer is not particularly limited, and there may be only one electrically independent wiring layer in the sealing layer, or there may be multiple wiring layers. Electrically independent in the sealing layer means that they may be electrically connected by a structure outside the sealing layer (for example, a conductive pattern A in a rewiring layer A, etc.). The wiring layer may be a single layer or a layer consisting of multiple layers.
[0021] -Conductive portion- The sealing layer preferably further includes a conductive portion that electrically connects one surface of the sealing layer to the other surface of the sealing layer. Such a conductive portion is preferably included as, for example, a conductive through via that penetrates the sealing layer. The conductive portion connects, for example, the redistribution layer A and the redistribution layer B.
[0022] The thickness of the sealing layer is not particularly limited and may be determined in consideration of the thickness of the circuit-containing member, etc., but is preferably 1 μm to 500 μm, and more preferably 10 μm to 200 μm, for example.
[0023] <Rewiring Layer A> The rewiring layer A is a layer that contacts one surface of the sealing layer and connects to the circuit of the member, and is a layer that includes an insulating pattern A and a conductive pattern A that is present between the insulating patterns A. Here, the conductive pattern A is connected to a member having a circuit in the sealing layer. For example, one preferred embodiment is one in which at least a portion of the conductive pattern A contacts a circuit in a member having a circuit exposed on one surface of the sealing layer or a conductive member connected to the circuit.
[0024] [Insulating Pattern A] The volume resistivity of insulating pattern A at 25°C is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 × 10 8 It is preferable that the resistance is Ω cm or more, and 1×10 10 More preferably, it is 1×10 Ω cm or more. 12 The upper limit is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 1×10 18 It is preferably Ω·cm or less.
[0025] The insulating pattern A preferably contains a resin, more preferably contains a polyimide, and is preferably a cured product of a composition for forming the insulating pattern A, which will be described later.
[0026] The insulating pattern A is made of a composition that, when cured at 230°C for 3 hours, exhibits a mass loss of 10% or less when maintained at 250°C for 1 hour. The mass loss is preferably 7.5% or less, and more preferably 5% or less. The lower limit of the mass loss is not particularly limited, and is preferably 0% or more. The mass loss is measured by changing the temperature conditions in the following order (1) to (2) in a nitrogen atmosphere, measuring the mass before (1) (mass A) and the mass after (2) (mass B), and calculating the mass loss using the following formula: (1) Raise the temperature from 25°C to 250°C at a rate of 10°C / min and maintain at 250°C for 1 hour. (2) Cool to 25°C. Mass loss (%) = (1 - mass B / mass A) x 100. The mass loss can be adjusted by adjusting the structure and content of the specific resin, polymerizable compound, etc., contained in the insulating pattern A-forming composition, which will be described later, as well as the content of low-molecular-weight components.
[0027] The cured product is produced by the following method. First, the composition is applied to a silicon wafer. The application method is not particularly limited, but spin coating can be used. If it is difficult to form a film with a thickness of 15 μm (described later) by a single spin coating, spin coating may be performed multiple times. If it is still difficult to form a film with a thickness of 15 μm by spin coating, an application method may be appropriately selected from known methods such as dip coating, air knife coating, curtain coating, wire bar coating, gravure coating, extrusion coating, spray coating, slit coating, and inkjet coating.
[0028] If the composition contains a solvent, drying is performed after the coating. In this case, the distance from the silicon wafer surface to the dried film surface (i.e., film thickness) is set to 15 μm. Drying is preferably performed until the amount of solvent in the film is 0.5 mass% or less. Drying conditions are not particularly limited, but drying by heating is possible. Furthermore, if sufficient drying is difficult to achieve by heating alone, further reduction in pressure may be performed. Drying can be performed in the atmosphere. However, if the resin composition contains components that are easily denatured by oxygen, drying can also be performed under inert gas such as nitrogen or under vacuum. Drying methods are not particularly limited, but can be performed using a hot plate. However, if the above-mentioned reduction in pressure or inert gas replacement is required, an oven with a reduction in pressure function or an oven with a gas replacement function can also be used. When drying by heating, the heating temperature (drying temperature) can be, for example, 100°C. However, if drying at 100°C is difficult, the drying temperature may be appropriately changed between 70°C and 130°C, preferably between 90°C and 120°C, depending on the type of solvent contained in the resin composition. When drying by heating, the drying time (the time exposed to the above heating temperature) can be, for example, 5 minutes. However, if drying within 5 minutes is difficult, the drying time may be appropriately changed between 30 seconds and 20 minutes, preferably between 1 minute and 10 minutes, depending on the type of solvent contained in the resin composition, etc. When drying by heating, the temperature rise rate during heating is not particularly limited and can be, for example, 5°C / min. If drying at the above temperature rise rate is difficult, the temperature rise rate may be appropriately changed between 1 to 12°C / min or 2 to 10°C / min, depending on the type of solvent contained in the resin composition, etc.
[0029] The entire surface of the coating film obtained by the above coating and drying, if necessary, was treated with a stepper (Nikon NSR 2005 i9C) at 500 mJ / cm 2The resin composition was exposed to i-rays with an exposure energy of 1000 kJ / min. In addition to i-rays using a stepper, laser exposure can also be used. The composition layer (resin layer) after the exposure is heated at 230°C for 3 hours to form a cured product (cured resin). The heating can be performed in an oven under a nitrogen atmosphere. The pressure during the heating is 1 atmosphere (101,325 Pa). The heating rate can be, for example, 10°C / min. If drying at the above heating rate is difficult, the heating rate may be appropriately changed between 1 and 12°C / min or 2 and 10°C / min depending on the type of solvent contained in the resin composition. The heating time (time exposed to 230°C) during the heating is 3 hours.
[0030] The silicon wafer on which the cured resin was formed by the above heating is immersed in a 4.9% by mass aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid, and the cured film is peeled off from the silicon wafer. The mass loss rate of the peeled cured film when held at 250°C for 1 hour is measured by the method described above.
[0031] The breaking elongation of the insulating pattern A is preferably 30% or more, more preferably 40% or more, and even more preferably 50% or more. The breaking elongation of the cured resin film is preferably 30% or more, more preferably 40% or more, and even more preferably 50% or more. The upper limit of the breaking elongation is not particularly limited, and is preferably 100% or less, for example. The breaking elongation is measured using a tensile tester (Tensilon) at a crosshead speed of 300 mm / min under an environment of 25°C and 65% RH (relative humidity) in accordance with the method described in JIS-K6251. The breaking elongation can be adjusted by the structure and content of the resin, polymerizable compound, etc. contained in the insulating pattern A-forming composition, which will be described later.
[0032] The glass transition temperature of the insulating pattern A is preferably 215 to 275°C, more preferably 225 to 265°C, and even more preferably 235 to 255°C. The glass transition temperature can be measured by changing the temperature conditions of the insulating pattern A in the order of (1) to (4) below, creating a differential scanning calorimetry curve, and measuring the temperature at the intersection of a line extending the low-temperature baseline of the differential scanning calorimetry curve toward the high-temperature side and a tangent drawn at the point where the gradient of the curve in the stepwise change portion of the glass transition is maximum: (1) Raise the temperature from 25°C to 300°C at a rate of 10°C / min; (2) Cool from 300°C to 25°C; (3) Raise the temperature from 25°C to 500°C at a rate of 10°C / min; (4) Cool from 500°C to 25°C. The glass transition temperature can be adjusted by the structure and content of the specific resin, polymerizable compound, etc. contained in the composition for forming the insulating pattern A, which will be described later.
[0033] The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of insulating pattern A is preferably 20 to 80 ppm / K, more preferably 30 to 70 ppm / K, and even more preferably 40 to 60 ppm / K. The coefficient of thermal expansion of insulating pattern A is measured by the following method. The elongation (displacement) of insulating pattern A is measured while changing the temperature using a thermomechanical analyzer / thermal expansion coefficient measuring device, Discovery TMA, manufactured by TA Instruments Japan Co., Ltd. The heating and cooling conditions during evaluation are as follows (1) to (4): (1) Raise the temperature from room temperature to 130°C at a heating rate of 5°C / min. (2) Lower the temperature from 130°C to 10°C at a heating rate of 5°C / min. (3) Raise the temperature from 10°C to 220°C at a heating rate of 5°C / min. (4) Allow to cool naturally to room temperature. The elongation (displacement) of the sample is measured during the temperature increase and decrease processes (1) to (4) above, and the thermal expansion coefficient is calculated by dividing the longitudinal elongation (displacement) of the sample at 25°C and 125°C in process (3) by the temperature. For details of the measurement method, please refer to the method described in the Examples below.
[0034] [Conductive Pattern A] The volume resistivity of the conductive pattern A at 25°C is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1×10 -5 It is preferably Ω cm or less, and 1×10-6 It is more preferable that the resistance is Ω cm or less, and 1×10 -7 The lower limit is not particularly limited, but for example, it is 1×10 -11 It is preferably Ω·cm or more.
[0035] Metal is preferred as the material constituting the conductive pattern A. The metal is not particularly limited and any existing metal species can be used, but examples include copper, aluminum, nickel, vanadium, titanium, chromium, cobalt, gold, tungsten, tin, silver, and alloys containing at least one of these metals, copper, aluminum, or alloys containing at least one of these metals are preferred, copper or an alloy containing copper is more preferred, and copper is even more preferred.
[0036] The conductive pattern A preferably includes a line pattern. The line pattern is included, for example, as a line and space pattern in which the conductive pattern A is a line portion and the insulating pattern A is a space portion. When the conductive pattern A includes a line pattern, the minimum line width of the line pattern is preferably 0.1 to 10 μm, more preferably 0.2 to 8 μm, and even more preferably 0.3 to 5 μm.
[0037] The conductive pattern A preferably has a barrier layer at least in part. The conductive pattern A preferably has a barrier layer between the conductive pattern A and the insulating pattern A, and at least one of the interfaces between the redistribution layer A and the outside (i.e., the positions where the conductive pattern A is exposed in the redistribution layer A). By having a barrier layer, it is possible to prevent the material (metal, etc.) constituting the conductive pattern from migrating to other members such as the insulating pattern A and the sealing layer.
[0038] The material constituting the barrier layer is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include tungsten, titanium, and an alloy containing at least one of these metals. Alternatively, the barrier layer may be formed using a metal having a lower ionization tendency than the material constituting the conductive pattern A.
[0039] [Configuration of Redistribution Layer A] The redistribution layer A is formed so as to be electrically connectable to other members. Specifically, the redistribution layer A may have a conductive pattern A exposed on a surface different from the surface in contact with the sealing layer, or a barrier layer in contact with the conductive pattern A exposed. For example, the exposed conductive pattern A or barrier layer is connected to a connecting member A described later, thereby electrically connecting the redistribution layer A to other members.
[0040] Furthermore, the redistribution layer A may include a conductive pad in the outermost layer (i.e., the layer farthest from the sealing layer). Metal is preferred as the material for the conductive pad. There are no particular limitations on the metal, and existing metal species can be used. Examples of the metal include copper, aluminum, nickel, vanadium, titanium, chromium, cobalt, gold, tungsten, tin, silver, and alloys containing at least one of these metals.

The rewiring layer B includes an insulating pattern B and a conductive pattern B present between the patterns of the insulating pattern B. Here, the fact that the conductive pattern B is not directly connected to the circuit-containing member in the sealing layer means that the conductive pattern B is not in contact with the circuit or the conductive member in the circuit-containing member. The conductive pattern B does not need to be directly connected to the circuit-containing member, and may be electrically connected to the circuit-containing member via another member. For example, it is preferable that the conductive pattern B is electrically connected to the circuit-containing member via the conductive pattern A in the rewiring layer A.

[0053] Furthermore, the redistribution layer B may include a conductive pad in the outermost layer (i.e., the layer farthest from the sealing layer). Metal is preferred as the material for the conductive pad. There are no particular limitations on the metal, and existing metal species can be used. Examples of the metal include copper, aluminum, nickel, vanadium, titanium, chromium, cobalt, gold, tungsten, tin, silver, and alloys containing at least one of these metals.

[0068] <Specific Examples of Laminates> Specific examples of laminates of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto. FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of a laminate of the present invention. In FIG. 2, the laminate 10 includes an encapsulation layer 12, a rewiring layer A 14, and a rewiring layer B 16. The thickness of each layer in FIG. 2 has been appropriately modified to facilitate easy viewing of the drawing. In reality, the thickness of the rewiring layer A 14 may be several tens to several hundreds of times thinner than the encapsulation layer 12, and may differ from the actual scale. The encapsulation layer 12 includes a circuit-containing member 18, an encapsulant 24, and a conductive through via 26. The circuit-containing member 18 includes a semiconductor member 22 and a circuit 20, with the circuit 20 connected to the rewiring layer A. While the circuit-containing member 18 is described as a functional die including the semiconductor member 22, if the circuit-containing member 18 is a wiring layer, the circuit-containing member 18 may be composed only of the circuit 20, and the semiconductor member 22 may not be present. Although not shown in FIG. 2 , the rewiring layer A14 includes an insulating pattern A and a conductive pattern A present between the insulating patterns A. Furthermore, the rewiring layer B16 includes an insulating pattern B and a conductive pattern B present between the insulating patterns B. The conductive through vias 26 are formed as through vias that penetrate the sealing layer, and electrically connect the conductive patterns A and B. Here, the circuit 20 and the rewiring layer A14 are directly connected, but the circuit 20 and the rewiring layer B16 are not directly connected, but are connected via the rewiring layer A. Furthermore, in FIG. 2 , a connection member A28 is formed on the rewiring layer A, and a connection member B30 is formed on the rewiring layer B. The connection member A28 is connected to the conductive pattern A, and the connection member B30 is connected to the conductive pattern B, respectively. Although the connection members A28 and B30 are depicted as being substantially spherically deformed in FIG. 2 , as described above, they may have other shapes, such as a substantially columnar shape or a bonding pad. 2, the connecting member A28 is shown for the purpose of explaining the positional relationship, but the connecting member A28 may be formed immediately before bonding with another functional die, etc. Furthermore, the connecting member B30 is shown in FIG. 2 for the purpose of explaining the positional relationship, but the connecting member B30 may be formed immediately before bonding with another circuit member, etc.
[0069] According to such a laminate 10, the rewiring layer A14 can be connected to other functional dies via connecting members A28, and the rewiring layer B16 can be connected to circuit members via connecting members B30.

FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the redistribution layer A14 on which the connection member A28 is formed. The redistribution layer A14 includes a conductive pattern A34 and an insulating pattern A32. Here, in FIG. 3, the redistribution layer A14 is depicted as a redistribution layer including a total of four layers each consisting of a conductive pattern A and an insulating pattern A. A surface 36 of the conductive pattern A opposite to the connection member A28 is connected to the circuit 20 in FIG. 2.
[0071] FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing another example of the laminate of the present invention. Among the components in FIG. 4 , those with the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 2 are the same as those in FIG. 2 . In the laminate 50 in FIG. 4 , two other functional dies 32 are connected to the rewiring layer A 14, and a circuit member 34 is connected to the rewiring layer B 16. Even in this embodiment, the circuit-bearing member 18 may be a functional die including a semiconductor member 22. If the circuit-bearing member 18 is a wiring layer, the circuit-bearing member 18 may be composed only of the circuit 20, and the semiconductor member 22 may not be present. Here, the space between the rewiring layer A 14 and the functional die 32 may be filled with a known underfill material. Furthermore, the space between the rewiring layer B 16 and the circuit member 34 may be filled with a known underfill material. A known connecting member, such as a solder ball, may be formed on the surface of the circuit member 34 opposite the rewiring layer B 16.
[0072] (Method for manufacturing laminate) A method for manufacturing a laminate of the present invention includes: a sealing layer forming step of embedding a member having a circuit in a sealing material and forming a sealing layer having one surface on which the circuit of the member is exposed and the other surface on which the circuit of the member is not exposed; a rewiring layer A forming step of forming a rewiring layer A including an insulating pattern A and a conductive pattern A present between the insulating patterns A on the surface of the sealing layer on which the circuit is exposed; and a rewiring layer B forming step of forming a rewiring layer B including an insulating pattern B and a conductive pattern B present between the insulating patterns B on the surface of the sealing layer on which the circuit is not exposed, wherein the insulating pattern A has a mass reduction rate of 10% or less when held at 250°C for 1 hour.
[0073] According to the method for producing a laminate of the present invention, the above-mentioned laminate of the present invention can be obtained, that is, a laminate that has excellent reliability over a long period of time can be obtained.
[0074] <Sealing layer forming step> The method for producing a laminate of the present invention includes a sealing layer forming step. The sealing layer forming step provides a sealing layer comprising a sealing material and a component having a circuit embedded in the sealing material, with the circuit of the component exposed on one side and the circuit of the component not exposed on the other side. The sealing layer forming step can be carried out, for example, by placing the component having the circuit on a carrier wafer (temporary support), applying the curable composition described above so as to embed the component having the circuit, and curing the composition. A known temporary adhesive layer may also be formed on the carrier wafer. The application and curing of these can be carried out with reference to known methods. Preferred embodiments of the curable composition and the component having a circuit are as described above.
[0075] A preferred embodiment of the present invention is one in which the circuit-containing member is the functional die described above. Also, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is one in which the circuit-containing member is the wiring layer described above and the laminate manufacturing method of the present invention further comprises a functional die lamination step described below.
[0076] In addition, in the sealing layer forming step, the surface of the sealing material may be polished after curing. Examples of the polishing include, but are not limited to, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) and physical polishing. For example, by polishing the cured sealing material on the circuit-bearing surface of the circuit-bearing component, the circuit of the circuit-bearing component can be exposed on the surface of the sealing layer. In addition, any method known in the art can be used for the sealing layer forming step, as long as it forms a sealing layer. In addition, polishing may not be performed in the sealing layer forming step, and the circuit may be exposed from the sealing layer by simply not sealing the circuit-bearing surface of the circuit-bearing component.
[0077] A preferred embodiment of the sealing layer obtained by the sealing layer forming step is the same as the preferred embodiment of the sealing layer in the laminate of the present invention described above, except that the conductive portion may not be formed in the sealing layer forming step, and the conductive portion may be formed after at least one of the rewiring layer A forming step and the rewiring layer B forming step, as described below.
[0078] <Passivation Layer Forming Step> The method for manufacturing a laminate of the present invention may further include a passivation layer forming step of forming a passivation layer after the sealing layer forming step. The passivation layer forming step is preferably performed after the sealing layer forming step and before the rewiring layer A forming step. The passivation layer is formed by coating the surface of the circuit-containing member with a passivation film. By forming the passivation layer, the influence of the outside air, adhesion of dust, and contamination by water or metals on the circuit-containing member may be suppressed. The material of the passivation layer is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include SiO 2 , SiN, etc. In addition, resins such as polyimide may also be used. The coating method is not particularly limited and known methods can be used. For example, when it is desired to coat with SiN, CVD (chemical vapor deposition) or the like can be used.
[0079] <Rewiring layer A forming step> The method for manufacturing a laminate of the present invention includes a rewiring layer A forming step of forming a rewiring layer A including an insulating pattern A and a conductive pattern A present between the insulating patterns A on the surface of the sealing layer where the circuit is exposed. By the rewiring layer A forming step, a rewiring layer A is formed on the surface of the sealing material where the circuit is exposed. Preferred aspects of the rewiring layer A are the same as the preferred aspects of the rewiring layer A in the laminate of the present invention described above.
[0080] The redistribution layer A formation step preferably includes applying an insulating pattern A-forming composition onto a sealing layer to form a film (film formation step). The redistribution layer A formation step more preferably includes the film formation step, an exposure step of selectively exposing the film formed by the film formation step, and a development step of developing the film exposed by the exposure step using a developer to form a pattern. The redistribution layer A formation step particularly preferably includes the film formation step, the exposure step, the development step, and at least one of a heating step of heating the pattern obtained by the development step and a post-development exposure step of exposing the pattern obtained by the development step. Details of each step are described below. Details of the insulating pattern A-forming composition (hereinafter also simply referred to as "composition") will be described later.
[0081] <Film Forming Step> The rewiring layer A forming step preferably includes a film forming step of applying a composition onto a sealing layer to form a film.
[0082] Coating is preferred as a means for applying the composition to the sealing layer. Specific application methods include dip coating, air knife coating, curtain coating, wire bar coating, gravure coating, extrusion coating, spray coating, spin coating, slit coating, and inkjet coating. From the viewpoint of uniformity of film thickness, spin coating, slit coating, spray coating, and inkjet coating are preferred, and from the viewpoint of uniformity of film thickness and productivity, spin coating and slit coating are more preferred. A film of the desired thickness can be obtained by adjusting the solids concentration of the composition and coating conditions depending on the application method. Furthermore, the coating method can be appropriately selected depending on the shape of the substrate. For circular substrates such as wafers, spin coating, spray coating, inkjet coating, etc. are preferred, while for rectangular substrates, slit coating, spray coating, inkjet coating, etc. are preferred. In the case of spin coating, for example, it can be applied at a rotation speed of 500 to 3,500 rpm for about 10 seconds to 3 minutes. Alternatively, a coating film formed by applying the composition to a temporary support using the above-described application method can be transferred onto the sealing layer. Regarding the transfer method, the preparation methods described in paragraphs 0023 and 0036 to 0051 of JP-A No. 2006-023696 and paragraphs 0096 to 0108 of JP-A No. 2006-047592 can be suitably used. A step of removing excess film from the edge of the sealing layer may also be performed. Examples of such a step include edge bead rinsing (EBR) and back rinsing. A pre-wetting step may also be employed in which various solvents are applied to the substrate before applying the composition to the sealing layer to improve the wettability of the sealing layer, and then the composition is applied.
[0083] <Drying Step> After the film formation step (layer formation step), the above film may be subjected to a step (drying step) of drying the formed film (layer) to remove the solvent. That is, the redistribution layer A formation step may include a drying step of drying the film formed in the film formation step. The drying step is preferably carried out after the film formation step and before the exposure step. The drying temperature of the film in the drying step is preferably 50 to 150°C, more preferably 70 to 130°C, and even more preferably 90 to 110°C. Drying may also be carried out under reduced pressure. The drying time is, for example, 30 seconds to 20 minutes, preferably 1 to 10 minutes, and more preferably 2 to 7 minutes.
[0084] <Exposure Step> The film may be subjected to an exposure step in which the film is selectively exposed to light. The rewiring layer A formation step may include an exposure step in which the film formed in the film formation step is selectively exposed to light. Selective exposure means that a portion of the film is exposed to light. Furthermore, selective exposure forms exposed regions (exposed portions) and unexposed regions (non-exposed portions) in the film. The exposure dose is not particularly limited as long as it can harden the film, but for example, it is 50 to 10,000 mJ / cm in terms of exposure energy at a wavelength of 365 nm. 2 is preferred, and 200 to 8,000 mJ / cm 2 is more preferred.
[0085] The exposure wavelength can be appropriately determined within the range of 190 to 1,000 nm, and is preferably 240 to 550 nm.
[0086] The exposure wavelengths, in relation to the light source, are: (1) semiconductor laser (wavelengths 830 nm, 532 nm, 488 nm, 405 nm, 375 nm, 355 nm, etc.); (2) metal halide lamp; (3) high-pressure mercury lamp, g-line (wavelength 436 nm), h-line (wavelength 405 nm), i-line (wavelength 365 nm), broad (three wavelengths of g, h, and i-line); (4) excimer laser, KrF excimer laser (wavelength 248 nm), ArF excimer laser (wavelength 193 nm), F 2Examples of such light include excimer laser (wavelength 157 nm), (5) extreme ultraviolet light (EUV) (wavelength 13.6 nm), (6) electron beam, and (7) YAG laser second harmonic 532 nm and third harmonic 355 nm. Exposure using a high-pressure mercury lamp is particularly preferred, and exposure using i-line is more preferred from the viewpoint of exposure sensitivity. The exposure method is not particularly limited as long as at least a part of the film is exposed, and examples thereof include exposure using a photomask and exposure by laser direct imaging.
[0087] <Post-Exposure Baking Step> The film may be subjected to a heating step (post-exposure baking step) after exposure. That is, the rewiring layer A formation step may include a post-exposure baking step in which the film exposed in the exposure step is heated. The post-exposure baking step can be performed after the exposure step and before the development step. The heating temperature in the post-exposure baking step is preferably 50°C to 140°C, more preferably 60°C to 120°C.

The temperature rise rate in the post-exposure baking step from the temperature at the start of heating to the maximum heating temperature is preferably 1 to 12°C / min, more preferably 2 to 10°C / min, and even more preferably 3 to 10°C / min. The temperature rise rate may also be changed as appropriate during heating. The heating means in the post-exposure baking step is not particularly limited, and known hot plates, ovens, infrared heaters, etc. may be used. It is also preferable to carry out the heating in an atmosphere of low oxygen concentration by flowing an inert gas such as nitrogen, helium, or argon.
[0088] <Development step> The above-mentioned film after exposure may be subjected to a development step in which it is developed using a developer to form a pattern. That is, the redistribution layer A formation step may include a development step in which the film exposed in the exposure step is developed using a developer to form a pattern. By performing development, one of the exposed portion and the non-exposed portion of the film is removed to form a pattern. Here, development in which the non-exposed portion of the film is removed in the development step is called negative development, and development in which the exposed portion of the film is removed in the development step is called positive development.

[0107] The rinse solution may contain at least one of a basic compound and a base generator. Although not particularly limited, when the developer contains an organic solvent, an embodiment in which the rinse solution contains the organic solvent and at least one of a basic compound and a base generator is also one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention. Examples of the basic compound and base generator contained in the rinse solution include the compounds exemplified as the basic compound and base generator that may be contained when the developer contains an organic solvent, and the same applies to preferred embodiments. The basic compound and base generator contained in the rinse solution may be selected taking into consideration the solubility in the solvent in the rinse solution, etc.

[0109] The rinse liquid may further contain other components, such as known surfactants and known defoaming agents.
[0110] [Method of Supplying Rinse Liquid] The method of supplying the rinse liquid is not particularly limited as long as it can form a desired pattern, and examples thereof include a method of immersing the substrate in the rinse liquid, a method of supplying the rinse liquid to the substrate by puddling, a method of supplying the rinse liquid to the substrate by showering, and a method of continuously supplying the rinse liquid onto the substrate by means of a straight nozzle or the like.

The method of supplying the rinse liquid in the rinsing step may include a step of continuously supplying the rinse liquid to the substrate, a step of keeping the rinse liquid substantially stationary on the substrate, a step of vibrating the rinse liquid on the substrate by ultrasonic waves or the like, and a combination of these steps.
[0111] The rinsing time is preferably 10 seconds to 10 minutes, more preferably 20 seconds to 5 minutes. The temperature of the rinsing liquid during rinsing is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 to 45°C, more preferably 18 to 30°C.
[0112] The developing step may include a step of contacting the pattern with a treatment liquid after treatment with a developer or after washing the pattern with a rinse liquid. Alternatively, a method may be employed in which the treatment liquid is supplied before the developer or rinse liquid in contact with the pattern is completely dried.
[0113] The treatment liquid may include a treatment liquid containing at least one of water and an organic solvent, and at least one of a basic compound and a base generator. Preferred aspects of the organic solvent, the basic compound, and the base generator are the same as the preferred aspects of the organic solvent, the basic compound, and the base generator used in the rinse liquid described above. The treatment liquid can be supplied to the pattern using the same method as the rinse liquid described above, and preferred aspects are also the same.
[0114] The content of the basic compound or base generator in the treatment liquid is preferably 10% by mass or less, and more preferably 5% by mass or less, relative to the total mass of the treatment liquid. There is no particular limitation on the lower limit of the content, but it is preferably, for example, 0.1% by mass or more. Furthermore, when the basic compound or base generator is solid in the environment in which the treatment liquid is used, the content of the basic compound or base generator is also preferably 70 to 100% by mass, relative to the total solid content of the treatment liquid. When the treatment liquid contains at least one of a basic compound and a base generator, the treatment liquid may contain only one type of at least one of the basic compound and the base generator, or may contain two or more types. When there are two or more types of at least one of the basic compound and the base generator, it is preferable that the total amount thereof is within the above-mentioned range.
[0115] <Heating Step> The pattern obtained by the development step (if a rinsing step is performed, the pattern after rinsing) may be subjected to a heating step in which the pattern obtained by the development step is heated. That is, the rewiring layer A formation step may include a heating step in which the pattern obtained by the development step is heated. In the heating step, a resin such as a polyimide precursor is cyclized to form a resin such as a polyimide. In addition, crosslinking of unreacted crosslinkable groups in the specific resin or a crosslinking agent other than the specific resin also proceeds. The heating temperature (maximum heating temperature) in the heating step is preferably 50 to 450°C, more preferably 150 to 350°C, even more preferably 150 to 250°C, even more preferably 160 to 250°C, and particularly preferably 160 to 230°C.
[0116] The heating step is preferably a step in which the cyclization reaction of the polyimide precursor is promoted within the pattern by the action of a base or the like generated from the base generator due to heating.
[0117] The heating step is preferably carried out at a temperature increase rate of 1 to 12°C / min from the temperature at the start of heating to the maximum heating temperature. The temperature increase rate is more preferably 2 to 10°C / min, and even more preferably 3 to 10°C / min. By setting the temperature increase rate to 1°C / min or more, it is possible to prevent excessive volatilization of the acid or solvent while ensuring productivity, and by setting the temperature increase rate to 12°C / min or less, it is possible to alleviate residual stress in the cured product. In addition, in the case of an oven capable of rapid heating, it is preferable to increase the temperature from the temperature at the start of heating to the maximum heating temperature at a temperature increase rate of 1 to 8°C / sec, more preferably 2 to 7°C / sec, and even more preferably 3 to 6°C / sec.
[0118] The temperature at the start of heating is preferably 20°C to 150°C, more preferably 20°C to 130°C, and even more preferably 25°C to 120°C. The temperature at the start of heating refers to the temperature at the start of the step of heating up to the maximum heating temperature. For example, when a composition is applied to a substrate and then dried, the temperature is the temperature of the film (layer) after this drying, and it is preferable to raise the temperature from, for example, a temperature that is 30 to 200°C lower than the boiling point of the solvent contained in the composition.
[0119] The heating time (heating time at the maximum heating temperature) is preferably from 5 to 360 minutes, more preferably from 10 to 300 minutes, and even more preferably from 15 to 240 minutes.
[0120] In particular, when forming a multilayer laminate, from the viewpoint of interlayer adhesion, the heating temperature is preferably 30° C. or higher, more preferably 80° C. or higher, even more preferably 100° C. or higher, and particularly preferably 120° C. or higher. The upper limit of the heating temperature is preferably 350° C. or lower, more preferably 250° C. or lower, and even more preferably 240° C. or lower.
[0121] Heating may be performed in stages. For example, the temperature may be increased from 25°C to 120°C at a rate of 3°C / min, held at 120°C for 60 minutes, increased from 120°C to 180°C at a rate of 2°C / min, and held at 180°C for 120 minutes. It is also preferable to treat the film while irradiating it with ultraviolet light, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 9,159,547. Such a pretreatment step can improve the film's properties. The pretreatment step may be performed for a short period of time, preferably from 10 seconds to 2 hours, more preferably from 15 seconds to 30 minutes. The pretreatment step may be performed in two or more steps. For example, a first pretreatment step may be performed in the range of 100 to 150°C, followed by a second pretreatment step in the range of 150 to 200°C. Furthermore, cooling may be performed after heating. In this case, the cooling rate is preferably from 1 to 5°C / min.
[0122] The heating step is preferably carried out in an atmosphere with a low oxygen concentration by flowing an inert gas such as nitrogen, helium, or argon, or by carrying out the heating step under reduced pressure, in order to prevent decomposition of the specific resin. The oxygen concentration is preferably 50 ppm (volume ratio) or less, more preferably 20 ppm (volume ratio) or less. The heating means used in the heating step is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a hot plate, an infrared oven, an electric heating oven, a hot air oven, and an infrared oven.
[0123] <Post-development exposure step> The pattern obtained by the development step (if a rinsing step is performed, the pattern after rinsing) may be subjected to a post-development exposure step in which the pattern obtained by the development step is exposed to light, instead of or in addition to the heating step. That is, the redistribution layer A formation step may include a post-development exposure step in which the pattern obtained by the development step is exposed to light. The redistribution layer A formation step may include a heating step and a post-development exposure step, or may include only one of the heating step and the post-development exposure step. The post-development exposure step can promote, for example, a reaction in which cyclization of a polyimide precursor or the like progresses due to exposure of a photobase generator, or a reaction in which elimination of an acid-decomposable group progresses due to exposure of a photoacid generator. In the post-development exposure step, it is sufficient that at least a portion of the pattern obtained in the development step is exposed, but it is preferable that the entire pattern is exposed. The exposure dose in the post-development exposure step is 50 to 20,000 mJ / cm in terms of exposure energy at a wavelength to which the photosensitive compound has sensitivity. 2 is preferred, and 100 to 15,000 mJ / cm 2 The post-development exposure step can be carried out using, for example, the light source used in the exposure step described above, and it is preferable to use broadband light.
[0124] <Metal Layer Forming Step> The pattern obtained by the developing step (preferably subjected to at least one of a heating step and a post-development exposure step) may be subjected to a metal layer forming step in which a metal layer is formed on the pattern. The pattern obtained by the developing step corresponds to the insulating pattern A, and the metal layer formed by the metal layer forming step corresponds to the conductive pattern A. In other words, the rewiring layer A forming step preferably includes a metal layer forming step in which a metal layer is formed on the pattern obtained by the developing step (preferably subjected to at least one of a heating step and a post-development exposure step).
[0125] The metal layer is not particularly limited, and existing metal species can be used. Examples include copper, aluminum, nickel, vanadium, titanium, chromium, cobalt, gold, tungsten, tin, silver, and alloys containing these metals. Copper and aluminum are more preferred, and copper is even more preferred.
[0126] The method for forming the metal layer is not particularly limited, and existing methods can be applied. For example, the methods described in JP 2007-157879 A, JP 2001-521288 A, JP 2004-214501 A, JP 2004-101850 A, U.S. Patent No. 7,888,181 B2, and U.S. Patent No. 9,177,926 B2 can be used. Examples of suitable methods include photolithography, PVD (physical vapor deposition), CVD (chemical vapor deposition), lift-off, electroplating, electroless plating, etching, printing, and combinations thereof. More specifically, examples include patterning methods that combine sputtering, photolithography, and etching, and patterning methods that combine photolithography and electroplating. Preferred plating methods include electroplating using copper sulfate or copper cyanide plating solutions. Furthermore, the metal layer formation step preferably includes forming a barrier layer on the formed metal layer after the metal layer is formed. The barrier layer can be formed by any conventionally known method without any particular limitation.
[0127] The thickness of the metal layer is preferably 0.01 to 50 μm, more preferably 1 to 10 μm, at the thickest part.
[0128] <Resist Layer Forming Step, Resist Layer Peeling Step> Here, the rewiring layer A forming step may include a resist layer forming step before the metal layer forming step. Furthermore, the rewiring layer A forming step may include a resist layer peeling step after the metal layer forming step. These steps can be performed by a known method. By performing these steps, a line and space pattern or the like can also be formed as the conductive pattern A.
[0129] <Polishing Step> The rewiring layer A forming step may further include, after the metal layer forming step, a polishing step of polishing the surface of the rewiring layer A. Examples of the polishing method include chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) and physical polishing, but are not limited to these, and any known method can be used without particular limitation.
[0130] <Lamination Process> The rewiring layer A forming process of the present invention preferably includes a lamination process. The lamination process is a series of processes including performing at least one of (a) a film forming process (layer forming process), (b) an exposure process, (c) a development process, and (d) a heating process and a post-development exposure process again on the surface of the pattern (resin layer) or the metal layer in this order. However, at least one of (a) the film forming process and (d) the heating process and the post-development exposure process may be repeated. Furthermore, at least one of (d) the heating process and the post-development exposure process may be followed by (e) a metal layer forming process. It goes without saying that the lamination process may further include the above-mentioned drying process or the like as appropriate.
[0131] When a further lamination step is performed after the lamination step, a surface activation treatment step may be further performed after the exposure step, the heating step, or the metal layer forming step. An example of the surface activation treatment is a plasma treatment. Details of the surface activation treatment will be described later.
[0132] The lamination step is preferably performed 2 to 20 times, more preferably 2 to 9 times. For example, a structure having 2 to 20 resin layers, such as resin layer / metal layer / resin layer / metal layer / resin layer / metal layer, is preferred, and a structure having 2 to 9 resin layers is even more preferred. Each of the layers may be the same or different in composition, shape, film thickness, etc.
[0133] In the rewiring layer A forming step, it is particularly preferable to form a cured product (resin layer) of the composition so as to cover the metal layer after providing the metal layer.Specifically, it is preferable to repeat the following steps in the order of (a) film forming step, (b) exposure step, (c) development step, (d) at least one of heating step and post-development exposure step, and (e) metal layer forming step, or to repeat the following steps in the order of (a) film forming step, (d) at least one of heating step and post-development exposure step, and (e) metal layer forming step.By alternately performing the lamination step of laminating the composition layer (resin layer) and the metal layer forming step, it is possible to alternately laminate the composition layer (resin layer) and the metal layer.
[0134] <Surface Activation Treatment Step> The rewiring layer A formation step preferably includes a surface activation treatment step in which at least a portion of the metal layer and the composition layer are surface-activated. The surface activation treatment step is usually performed after the metal layer formation step. However, after the development step (preferably after at least one of the heating step and the post-development exposure step), the composition layer may be surface-activated before the metal layer formation step. The surface activation treatment may be performed only on at least a portion of the metal layer, or only on at least a portion of the composition layer after exposure, or may be performed on at least a portion of both the metal layer and the composition layer after exposure. The surface activation treatment is preferably performed on at least a portion of the metal layer, and it is preferable to perform the surface activation treatment on part or all of the region of the metal layer on which the composition layer is to be formed. In this way, by performing the surface activation treatment on the surface of the metal layer, adhesion with the composition layer (film) formed on the surface can be improved. The surface activation treatment is also preferably performed on part or all of the composition layer (resin layer) after exposure. In this way, by performing the surface activation treatment on the surface of the composition layer, adhesion with the metal layer or resin layer formed on the surface that has been surface-activated can be improved. In particular, when negative development is performed, when the composition layer is cured, it is less susceptible to damage caused by the surface treatment and adhesion is likely to be improved. The surface activation treatment can be carried out, for example, by the method described in paragraph 0415 of International Publication No. 2021 / 112189. The contents of this document are incorporated herein by reference.
[0135] <Connection Pad Forming Step> The rewiring layer A forming step may further include a connection pad forming step after the lamination step. Preferred embodiments of the connection pads to be formed are as described above. The connection pad forming step can be performed using any method known in the art without particular limitation. For example, a method may be used in which a resist layer is formed as needed, followed by forming a connection pad by plating or the like, and then peeling off the resist layer.
[0136] Here, one preferred embodiment of the present invention is one in which the redistribution layer A formation step includes a step of applying the insulating pattern A-forming composition onto a sealing layer to form a coating film, a step of drying, exposing, and developing the coating film to form a precursor pattern A, and a step of heating the precursor pattern A to obtain an insulating pattern A, and the rate of change in film thickness of the insulating pattern A relative to the precursor pattern A is less than 20%. Here, the application, drying, exposure, development, and heating are performed through the above-mentioned film formation step, drying step, exposure step, development step, and heating step. The rate of change in film thickness is calculated as (thickness thickness of precursor pattern A - film thickness of insulating pattern A) / film thickness of precursor pattern A x 100. The rate of change in film thickness is preferably 15% or less, more preferably 10% or less. Furthermore, there is no particular limitation on the lower limit of the rate of change in film thickness, and it may be 0% or more.
[0137] <Rewiring layer B forming step> The method for manufacturing a laminate of the present invention includes a rewiring layer B forming step of forming a rewiring layer B including an insulating pattern B and a conductive pattern B present between the insulating patterns B on the surface of the sealing layer where the circuits are not exposed.

Preferred aspects of the rewiring layer B are the same as the preferred aspects of the rewiring layer B in the laminate of the present invention described above.
[0138] The redistribution layer B forming step can be carried out in the same manner as the redistribution layer A forming step described above, except that the redistribution layer B is formed on the surface of the encapsulant where the circuit is not exposed. In the redistribution layer B forming step, the redistribution layer B can be formed using an insulating pattern A forming composition in the same manner as in the formation of the redistribution layer A. Here, the insulating pattern A forming composition used to form the redistribution layer A and the insulating pattern A forming composition used to form the redistribution layer B may have the same composition or different compositions. Furthermore, either the redistribution layer B forming step or the redistribution layer A forming step may be carried out first.
[0139] <Carrier Wafer Bonding Step, Carrier Wafer Peeling Step> The method for producing a laminate of the present invention can include a carrier wafer bonding step of bonding a carrier wafer to a laminate being produced, and a carrier wafer peeling step of peeling off the bonded carrier wafer. For example, in the sealing layer forming step, a carrier wafer is bonded to a circuit-bearing member to form a sealing layer on the carrier wafer, and a rewiring layer A is formed on the sealing layer in the rewiring layer A forming step. In order to form a rewiring layer B, the carrier wafer can be peeled off from the sealing layer, and if necessary, a new carrier wafer can be bonded to the surface of the rewiring layer A, thereby inverting the side on which the carrier wafer is located. The carrier wafer peeling step and the carrier wafer bonding step can be performed by known methods. Furthermore, known carrier wafers can be used without any particular restrictions.
[0140] <Conductive Portion Forming Step> The method for manufacturing a laminate of the present invention may further include a conductive portion forming step for forming the conductive portion described above. The conductive portion forming step may be performed, for example, between the sealing layer forming step and the rewiring layer A forming step and the rewiring layer B forming step, or may be performed after at least one of the rewiring layer A forming step and the rewiring layer B forming step. The conductive portion forming step is performed, for example, by forming holes in the sealing layer using a laser or the like and filling the holes with a conductor by plating or the like. The holes may be through holes or blind holes. In addition, in forming the holes, residues of the sealing layer and the like generated during processing may be removed by a known desmearing process or the like. As the method for the conductive portion forming step, any method known in the art may be used without particular limitation.
[0141] <Inspection Step> After at least one of the redistribution layer A formation step and the redistribution layer B formation step, an inspection step may be further included in which the surface state, conductivity, insulation, presence or absence of voids, etc. of at least one of the formed redistribution layer A and the redistribution layer B is inspected. As the method of the inspection step, any method known in this field can be used without particular limitation.
[0142] <Connection member A forming step> The method for manufacturing the laminate of the present invention may further include a step of forming a connection member A on a surface of the redistribution layer A different from the surface that contacts the sealing layer. Preferred aspects of the connection member A are the same as the preferred aspects of the connection member A of the laminate of the present invention. As a method for forming the connection member A, any method known in the art can be used without particular limitation.
[0143] <Step of Bonding Other Functional Dies> The method for manufacturing a laminate of the present invention may further include a step of bonding another functional die to a surface of the rewiring layer A different from the surface that contacts the sealing layer.

[0148] <Specific Example of a Method for Producing a Laminate> Specific examples of the method for producing a laminate of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In each drawing, already explained reference numerals may be omitted. FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of a method for producing a laminate of the present invention. FIG. 5( a) is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which a circuit-containing member 18 is bonded to a carrier wafer 62. Although not shown in FIG. 5( a), a temporary adhesive layer may be formed on the side of the carrier wafer 62 facing the circuit-containing member 18. The circuit-containing member 18 includes a semiconductor member 22 and a circuit 20, with the circuit 20 being disposed on the opposite side of the carrier wafer 62 across the semiconductor member 22. While the circuit-containing member 18 is described as a functional die including the semiconductor member 22, if the circuit-containing member 18 is a wiring layer, the circuit-containing member 18 may be composed only of the circuit 20, and the semiconductor member 22 may not be present.
[0149] 5(b) is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which an encapsulating layer 12 including a circuit-bearing member 18 and an encapsulant 24 has been formed on a carrier wafer 62 by the encapsulating layer formation step. The encapsulating layer 12 can be obtained by forming an encapsulant by a method such as applying a curable composition to the carrier wafer 62 and the circuit-bearing member 18 shown in FIG. 5(a) and curing the composition. Prior to the subsequent rewiring layer A formation step, the surface of the encapsulating layer 12 may be polished by the above-described method to expose the circuit 20, or the surface having the circuit 20 may be subjected to the above-described passivation layer formation step.
[0150] 5(c) is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which a second carrier wafer 64 is bonded and the carrier wafer 62 is peeled off after the rewiring layer A 14 is formed in the rewiring layer A formation process. The rewiring layer A is formed by performing the rewiring layer A formation process on the surface of the encapsulation layer 12 having the circuit 20 shown in FIG. 5(b). Here, after the rewiring layer A formation process, a second carrier wafer 64 different from the carrier wafer 62 is bonded to the rewiring layer A, and the carrier wafer 62 is peeled off, exposing a surface of the encapsulation layer 12 different from the surface on which the rewiring layer A is formed (reversal process).
[0151] 5(d) is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which a conductive through via 26 is formed in the conductive portion forming step, and a rewiring layer B 16 is formed in the rewiring layer B forming step. The conductive through via 26 is formed by performing the conductive portion forming step on the sealing material 24 of the sealing layer 12 shown in FIG. 5(c). Furthermore, the rewiring layer B is formed by performing the rewiring layer B forming step on the surface of the sealing layer 12 shown in FIG. 5(c) that does not have the circuit 20. Thereafter, the second carrier wafer 64 is peeled off to obtain the laminate of the present invention.
[0152] FIG. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of bonding another functional die to the stack shown in FIG. 5(d). In FIG. 6, a third carrier wafer 66 is bonded to the rewiring layer B16 in the stack shown in FIG. 5(d), and the second carrier wafer 64 is peeled off. After peeling off the second carrier wafer 64, a connecting member A formation process is performed to form a connecting member A28 on the rewiring layer A14, and then an other functional die bonding process is performed to bond two other functional dies 32, thereby obtaining the stack shown in FIG. 6. Here, an underfill material may be further filled between the rewiring layer A14 and the other functional die 32. The stack from which the third carrier wafer 66 has been peeled can then be used as a semiconductor package.
[0153] Fig. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of an embodiment in which a circuit member is further bonded to the laminate shown in Fig. 6. In Fig. 7, the third carrier wafer 66 in the laminate shown in Fig. 6 has been peeled off. After the third carrier wafer 66 has been peeled off, a connecting member B forming step is performed to form connecting members B30 on the rewiring layer B16, and a circuit member bonding step is performed to bond circuit members 34, thereby obtaining a laminate.

Crosslinking agent U may have two or more structures selected from the group consisting of a hydroxy group, an alkyleneoxy group (however, when a polyalkyleneoxy group is formed, a polyalkyleneoxy group), an amide group, and a cyano group in the molecule, but an embodiment in which only one structure is present in the molecule is also preferred. The hydroxy group, alkyleneoxy group, amide group, and cyano group may be present at any position in crosslinking agent U, but from the viewpoint of chemical resistance, it is also preferred that at least one selected from the group consisting of a hydroxy group, an alkyleneoxy group, an amide group, and a cyano group is linked to at least one radically polymerizable group contained in crosslinking agent U via a linking group containing a urea bond or a urethane bond (hereinafter also referred to as "linking group L2-1"). In particular, when crosslinking agent U contains only one radically polymerizable group, it is preferred that the radically polymerizable group contained in crosslinking agent U and at least one selected from the group consisting of a hydroxy group, an alkyleneoxy group, an amide group, and a cyano group are linked via a linking group containing a urea bond or a urethane bond (hereinafter also referred to as "linking group L2-2"). When crosslinking agent U contains an alkyleneoxy group (however, when it constitutes a polyalkyleneoxy group, it is a polyalkyleneoxy group) and has the linking group L2-1 or the linking group L2-2, the structure bonded to the side of the alkyleneoxy group (however, when it constitutes a polyalkyleneoxy group, it is a polyalkyleneoxy group) opposite to the linking group L2-1 or the linking group L2-2 is not particularly limited, but is preferably a hydrocarbon group, a radically polymerizable group, or a group represented by a combination thereof. As the hydrocarbon group, a hydrocarbon group having 20 or fewer carbon atoms is preferred, a hydrocarbon group having 18 or fewer carbon atoms is more preferred, and a hydrocarbon group having 16 or fewer carbon atoms is even more preferred. Examples of the hydrocarbon group include saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, aromatic hydrocarbon groups, and groups represented by a combination thereof. Preferred embodiments of the radical polymerizable group are the same as those of the radical polymerizable group in the crosslinking agent U.When crosslinking agent U contains an amide group and has the linking group L2-1 or L2-2, the structure bonded to the side of the amide group opposite the linking group L2-1 or L2-2 is not particularly limited, but is preferably a hydrocarbon group, a radically polymerizable group, or a group represented by a combination thereof. The hydrocarbon group is preferably a hydrocarbon group having 20 or fewer carbon atoms, more preferably a hydrocarbon group having 18 or fewer carbon atoms, and even more preferably a hydrocarbon group having 16 or fewer carbon atoms. Examples of the hydrocarbon group include saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, aromatic hydrocarbon groups, and groups represented by a combination thereof. Preferred aspects of the radically polymerizable group are the same as those of the radically polymerizable group in crosslinking agent U described above. In the above aspect, the carbon atom side of the amide group may be bonded to the linking group L2-1 or L2-2, or the nitrogen atom side of the amide group may be bonded to the linking group L2-1 or L2-2. Among these, from the viewpoints of adhesion to the substrate, chemical resistance, and suppression of Cu voids, it is preferable that crosslinking agent U have a hydroxy group.
[0247] From the viewpoint of compatibility with the heterocycle-containing polymer, etc., the crosslinking agent U preferably contains an aromatic group. The aromatic group is preferably directly bonded to a urea bond or urethane bond contained in the crosslinking agent U. When the crosslinking agent U contains two or more urea bonds or urethane bonds, it is preferable that one of the urea bonds or urethane bonds is directly bonded to the aromatic group. The aromatic group may be an aromatic hydrocarbon group or an aromatic heterocyclic group, or may have a structure in which these form a condensed ring, but is preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon group. The aromatic hydrocarbon group is preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, more preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, and even more preferably a group in which two or more hydrogen atoms have been removed from a benzene ring structure. The aromatic heterocyclic group is preferably a 5- or 6-membered aromatic heterocyclic group. Examples of the aromatic heterocyclic ring in such an aromatic heterocyclic group include pyrrole, imidazole, triazole, tetrazole, pyrazole, furan, thiophene, oxazole, isoxazole, thiazole, pyridine, pyrazine, pyrimidine, pyridazine, triazine, etc. These rings may be condensed with other rings, for example, as in indole and benzimidazole. The heteroatom contained in the aromatic heterocyclic group is preferably a nitrogen atom, an oxygen atom, or a sulfur atom. The aromatic group is preferably contained in a linking group that links two or more radical polymerizable groups and contains a urea bond or a urethane bond, or a linking group that links at least one selected from the group consisting of the above-mentioned hydroxy group, alkyleneoxy group, amide group, and cyano group to at least one radical polymerizable group contained in the crosslinking agent U.
[0248] The number of atoms (linking chain length) between the urea bond or urethane bond and the radical polymerizable group in crosslinking agent U is not particularly limited, but is preferably 30 or less, more preferably 2 to 20, and even more preferably 2 to 10. When crosslinking agent U contains a total of two or more urea bonds or urethane bonds, when it contains two or more radical polymerizable groups, or when it contains two or more urea bonds or urethane bonds and two or more radical polymerizable groups, the minimum number of atoms (linking chain length) between the urea bond or urethane bond and the radical polymerizable group may be within the above range. In this specification, the "number of atoms (linking chain length) between the urea bond or urethane bond and the polymerizable group" refers to the atomic chain on the path connecting the two atoms or atomic groups to be linked that connects these objects via the shortest distance (minimum number of atoms). For example, in the structure represented by the following formula, the number of atoms (linking chain length) between the urea bond and the radical polymerizable group (methacryloyloxy group) is 2.
[0249] [Axis of symmetry] It is also preferable that the crosslinking agent U is a compound having a structure that does not have an axis of symmetry. The fact that the crosslinking agent U does not have an axis of symmetry means that the crosslinking agent U is a bilaterally asymmetric compound that does not have an axis that would produce a molecule identical to the original molecule by rotating the entire compound. Furthermore, when the structural formula of the crosslinking agent U is written on paper, the fact that the crosslinking agent U does not have an axis of symmetry means that the structural formula of the crosslinking agent U cannot be written in a form that has an axis of symmetry. It is believed that the fact that the crosslinking agent U does not have an axis of symmetry suppresses aggregation of the crosslinking agent U molecules in the composition film.
[0250] [Molecular Weight] The molecular weight of the crosslinking agent U is preferably 100 to 2,000, more preferably 150 to 1,500, and even more preferably 200 to 900.
[0251] The method for producing the crosslinking agent U is not particularly limited, but for example, the crosslinking agent U can be obtained by reacting a radical polymerizable compound and a compound having an isocyanate group with a compound having at least one of a hydroxy group and an amino group.

Two or more of these can be mixed and used as needed. For example, PEG200 diacrylate refers to polyethylene glycol diacrylate with a polyethylene glycol chain formula weight of approximately 200. From the viewpoint of suppressing warpage of the pattern (cured product), a monofunctional radical crosslinking agent can preferably be used as the radical crosslinking agent in the composition.Preferred examples of monofunctional radical crosslinking agents include (meth)acrylic acid derivatives such as n-butyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, butoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, carbitol (meth)acrylate, cyclohexyl (meth)acrylate, benzyl (meth)acrylate, phenoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, N-methylol (meth)acrylamide, glycidyl (meth)acrylate, polyethylene glycol mono(meth)acrylate, and polypropylene glycol mono(meth)acrylate; N-vinyl compounds such as N-vinylpyrrolidone and N-vinylcaprolactam; and allyl glycidyl ether.

Other examples of bifunctional or higher radical crosslinking agents include allyl compounds such as diallyl phthalate and triallyl trimellitate.
[0254] When a radical crosslinking agent is contained, the content of the radical crosslinking agent is preferably more than 0% by mass and not more than 60% by mass, based on the total solid content of the composition. The lower limit is more preferably 5% by mass or more. The upper limit is more preferably 50% by mass or less, and even more preferably 30% by mass or less.
[0255] The radical crosslinking agent may be used alone or in combination of two or more. When two or more types are used in combination, the total amount thereof is preferably within the above range.

[0257] [Polymerization initiator] The composition preferably contains a polymerization initiator. The polymerization initiator may be a thermal polymerization initiator or a photopolymerization initiator, but it is particularly preferable that the composition contains a photopolymerization initiator. The photopolymerization initiator is preferably a photoradical polymerization initiator. The photoradical polymerization initiator is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected from known photoradical polymerization initiators. For example, a photoradical polymerization initiator that is photosensitive to light in the ultraviolet to visible region is preferred. Alternatively, the composition may be an activator that reacts with a photoexcited sensitizer to generate active radicals.
[0258] The photoradical polymerization initiator has a capacity of at least about 50 L·mol within a wavelength range of about 240 to 800 nm (preferably 330 to 500 nm). -1 ・cm -1 The molar absorption coefficient of the compound can be measured using a known method.

When these additives are incorporated, the total content is preferably 3% by mass or less of the solid content of the composition.
[0332] <Characteristics of the composition> The viscosity of the composition can be adjusted by the solid content concentration of the composition. 2 / s~12,000mm 2 / s is preferred, and 2,000 mm 2 / s~10,000mm 2 / s is more preferable, and 2,500 mm 2 / s~8,000mm 2 Within the above range, it is easy to obtain a highly uniform coating film. 2 If the thickness is more than 12,000 mm / s, it is easy to apply the coating to a thickness required for an insulating film for rewiring, for example. 2 If the viscosity is less than 1 / s, a coating film with excellent surface condition can be obtained.

The upper limit of the Young's modulus is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10.0 GPa or less, for example.
[0334] Here, the method of applying the resin composition in measuring the Young's modulus is not particularly limited, and any method can be used as long as the distance from the substrate to the film surface (i.e., the coating film thickness) is, for example, 20 μm.Spin coating can also be used.If it is difficult to form a film with a distance of 20 μm by a single spin coating, the spin coating can be performed multiple times.If it is still difficult to form a film with a distance of 20 μm by the spin coating, the application method can be appropriately selected from known methods such as dip coating, air knife coating, curtain coating, wire bar coating, gravure coating, extrusion coating, spray coating, slit coating, and inkjet coating.
[0335] If the composition contains a solvent, it is preferable to dry the composition after application. In this case, the distance from the substrate to the dried film surface is 20 μm. Drying is preferably performed until the amount of solvent in the film is 0.5% by mass or less. Drying conditions are not particularly limited, but can be performed by heating. Furthermore, if sufficient drying is difficult to achieve by heating alone, further reduction in pressure may be performed. Drying can be performed in the atmosphere. However, if the resin composition contains components that are easily denatured by oxygen, it can also be performed under inert gas replacement such as nitrogen or under vacuum. Drying means are not particularly limited, but examples include a hot plate.

However, if drying at 100°C is difficult, the drying temperature may be appropriately changed between 70°C and 130°C, preferably between 90°C and 120°C, depending on the type of solvent contained in the resin composition. When drying by heating, the drying time (the time exposed to the above heating temperature) can be, for example, 5 minutes.

The resin composition film obtained by application is heated while avoiding exposure as much as possible. Contact with solvents such as developing solutions is also avoided as much as possible. The heating can be performed in an oven under a nitrogen atmosphere. The pressure during the heating is 1 atmosphere (101,325 Pa). The heating rate can be, for example, 10°C / min. If drying at the above heating rate is difficult, the heating rate may be appropriately changed between 1 and 12°C / min or between 2 and 10°C / min depending on the type of solvent contained in the resin composition. The heating time (time exposed to 230°C) during the heating is 2 hours. The Young's modulus of the cured product is measured after cooling the cured product to 25°C. The Young's modulus is measured according to the method described in JIS K 7161-1:2014.

The filter may be pre-washed with an organic solvent. In the filter filtration process, multiple types of filters may be connected in series or parallel. When multiple types of filters are used, filters with different pore sizes or materials may be combined. An example of a connection mode is a mode in which an HDPE filter with a pore size of 1 μm is connected in series as the first stage and an HDPE filter with a pore size of 0.2 μm is connected in series as the second stage.
