Description

Photosensitive resin composition, method for producing patterned cured product, cured product, and electronic component

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a photosensitive resin composition, a method for producing a patterned cured product, a cured product, and an electronic component.

[0002] Highly heat-resistant organic materials such as polyimide resins are widely used as protective film materials for semiconductor integrated circuits (LSIs). Protective films (cured films) using such polyimide resins can be obtained by applying a resin composition containing an unsaturated polyimide precursor to a substrate, drying the resin composition, and then heating and curing the resulting resin film. In recent years, there has been a demand for resin compositions that do not contain N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) from the perspectives of reducing environmental pollution, health, and ensuring device reliability. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a resin composition that contains a specific amount of an amide compound having a specific structure, such as 3-methoxy-N,N'-dimethylpropanamide, relative to the resin.

[0003] Patent No. 6935982

[0004] However, when the solvent type was changed from NMP to 3-methoxy-N,N'-dimethylpropanamide or the like, it was found that the reactivity during exposure or curing changed, resulting in large variations in the elongation properties of the cured film. Variations in elongation properties can be a factor in inducing cracks, peeling, etc. of the cured film in the package.

[0005] In view of the above-described conventional circumstances, an object of one embodiment of the present disclosure is to provide a photosensitive resin composition that has excellent elongation characteristics when formed into a cured film even when an NMP alternative solvent is used, and that can suppress variation in elongation characteristics, as well as a cured product using the photosensitive resin composition, a method for producing a patterned cured product, and an electronic component.

[0006] Specific means for achieving the above object are as follows: <1> A photosensitive resin composition containing a polyimide precursor having a polymerizable unsaturated bond, at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of 3-methoxy-N,N'-dimethylpropanamide and 3-butoxy-N,N'-dimethylpropanamide, and N-phenyldiethanolamine. <2> The photosensitive resin composition according to <1>, wherein the polyimide precursor having a polymerizable unsaturated bond has a structural unit represented by the following general formula (1): (In general formula (1), X represents a tetravalent organic group, and Y represents a divalent organic group. R 6 and R 7 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group; R 6 and R 7 at least one of which has a polymerizable unsaturated bond.) <3> The photosensitive resin composition according to <1> or <2>, further comprising at least one of a crosslinking agent and a photopolymerization initiator. <4> The photosensitive resin composition according to any one of <1> to <3>, wherein the content of the N-phenyldiethanolamine is 0.1 parts by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of the polyimide precursor. <5> A method for producing a patterned cured product, comprising the steps of: applying the photosensitive resin composition according to any one of <1> to <4> onto a substrate and drying to form a photosensitive resin film; patternwise exposing the photosensitive resin film to obtain a resin film; developing the resin film after the patternwise exposure using a developer to obtain a patterned resin film; and heat-treating the patterned resin film. <6> A cured product obtained by curing the photosensitive resin composition according to any one of <1> to <4>. <7> The cured product according to <6>, which is a patterned cured product. <8> The cured product according to <6>, which is used as an interlayer insulating film, a cover coat layer, or a surface protective film. <9> An electronic part, comprising the cured product according to any one of <6> to <8>.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a photosensitive resin composition that has excellent elongation characteristics when formed into a cured film and can suppress variation in elongation characteristics even when an NMP alternative solvent is used, as well as a cured product using the photosensitive resin composition, a method for producing a patterned cured product, and an electronic component.

[0008] 1A to 1C are diagrams illustrating a manufacturing process for an electronic component according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present disclosure will be described in detail. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments. In the following embodiments, components (including element steps, etc.) are not essential unless otherwise specified. The same applies to numerical values ​​and their ranges, and do not limit the present disclosure.

[0010] In the present disclosure, the term "process" includes not only processes that are independent of other processes, but also processes that cannot be clearly distinguished from other processes as long as the purpose of the process is achieved. In the present disclosure, numerical ranges indicated using "to" include the numerical values ​​before and after "to" as the minimum and maximum values, respectively. In numerical ranges described in stages in the present disclosure, the upper or lower limit of one numerical range may be replaced with the upper or lower limit of another staged numerical range. Furthermore, in numerical ranges described in the present disclosure, the upper or lower limit of that numerical range may be replaced with a value shown in the Examples. In the present disclosure, each component may contain multiple corresponding substances. When multiple substances corresponding to each component are present in a composition, the content or amount of each component refers to the total content or amount of the multiple substances present in the composition, unless otherwise specified. In the present disclosure, the terms "layer" and "film" include cases where the layer or film is formed over the entire region when the region in which the layer or film is present is observed, as well as cases where the layer or film is formed only over a portion of the region. In the present disclosure, the term "(meth)acryloyl group" refers to at least one of an acryloyl group and a methacryloyl group, and the term "(meth)acryloyloxy group" refers to at least one of an acryloyloxy group and a methacryloyloxy group. In the present disclosure, the average thickness of a layer or film is a value obtained by measuring the thickness of five points on the target layer or film and calculating the arithmetic mean value. The thickness of a layer or film can be measured using a micrometer, a scanning stylus meter, an optical interference film thickness measuring device, or the like. In the present disclosure, when the thickness of a layer or film can be measured directly, it is measured using an optical interference film thickness measuring device. On the other hand, when measuring the thickness of a single layer or the total thickness of multiple layers, it may be measured by observing the cross section of the target using an electron microscope.

[0011] <Photosensitive Resin Composition> The photosensitive resin composition of the present disclosure contains a polyimide precursor having a polymerizable unsaturated bond, at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of 3-methoxy-N,N'-dimethylpropanamide and 3-butoxy-N,N'-dimethylpropanamide (hereinafter also referred to as the "specific solvent"), and N-phenyldiethanolamine. According to the photosensitive resin composition having the above configuration, even when an NMP alternative solvent is used, the cured film exhibits excellent elongation properties and can suppress variation in elongation properties. The reason for this is not clear, but is presumed to be as follows.

[0012] When a photosensitive resin composition is applied to a substrate to form a film, which is then exposed to light to form a cured film, light does not easily reach the bottom of the film under low exposure conditions. Therefore, the photocuring reaction does not proceed sufficiently at the bottom of the film, which may result in a low molecular weight or heterogeneity of the cured polymer. In contrast, N-phenyldiethanolamine acts as a sensitizer, and the photocuring reaction proceeds sufficiently at the bottom of the film, even when an NMP alternative solvent is used. Therefore, it is presumed that a highly oriented cured film is formed even under low exposure conditions, and variation in elongation properties is suppressed.

[0013] It is assumed that if the affinity between the polyimide precursor and the remaining solvent is low, the polyimide precursor will aggregate as a single molecule, reducing the frequency of collisions between the functional groups of one molecule and the functional groups of another molecule, resulting in heterogeneous polymerization. Therefore, when an alternative solvent is used, the problem of affinity between the polyimide precursor and the solvent is more likely to become apparent than in the case of NMP. However, by using N-phenyldiethanolamine in combination with a specific solvent, N-phenyldiethanolamine acts as a sensitizer as described above, and it is therefore assumed that the problem caused by such affinity is also solved.

[0014] Each component contained in the photosensitive resin composition of the present disclosure will be described below. The photosensitive resin composition of the present disclosure is preferably a negative photosensitive resin composition.

[0079]

[0080] The photosensitive resin composition of the present disclosure may contain a polyimide resin in addition to the unsaturated polyimide precursor.

[0094] The content of the solvent can be appropriately adjusted depending on the viscosity of the photosensitive resin composition, and may be, for example, 100 parts by mass or more relative to 100 parts by mass of the unsaturated polyimide precursor. From the viewpoint of reducing the drying energy required for forming a coating film, it is not necessary to contain more solvent than necessary, and for example, the content of the solvent may be 1,000 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of the unsaturated polyimide precursor.

[0096] (Crosslinking Agent) The photosensitive resin composition may contain a crosslinking agent that can be crosslinked or polymerized by heating. In the process of applying, exposing, and developing the photosensitive resin composition and then subjecting it to heat treatment, the crosslinking agent compound reacts with the unsaturated polyimide precursor to form a crosslink, or the crosslinking agent compound itself polymerizes. This increases the strength of the resulting cured film even at a relatively low curing temperature, for example, a curing temperature of 200°C or less, and can improve mechanical properties, chemical resistance, flux resistance, etc. The crosslinking agent may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0097] The N-phenyldiethanolamine contained in the photosensitive resin composition of the present disclosure is presumed to function as a sensitizer, facilitating the photocrosslinking reaction by the crosslinking agent at the bottom of the film even under conditions of low exposure dose. The crosslinking agent polymer produced by the photocrosslinking reaction is eliminated and functions as a plasticizer, which can lower the glass transition temperature, and is therefore expected to have the effect of promoting polymer cyclization. Therefore, it is presumed that the use of a crosslinking agent together with N-phenyldiethanolamine promotes the cyclization reaction at the bottom of the film as well, forming a highly oriented cured film and more effectively suppressing variation in elongation properties.

[0098] From the viewpoint of enhancing resolution, the crosslinking agent preferably contains a crosslinking agent having a vinyl group in which the α-position is a hydrocarbon group (hereinafter also referred to as a "vinyl crosslinking agent").

[0195] <Method for Producing Cured Product, and Electronic Component> The method for producing a patterned cured product of the present disclosure includes the steps of applying the photosensitive resin composition of the present disclosure onto a substrate and drying to form a photosensitive resin film, patternwise exposing the photosensitive resin film to light to obtain a resin film, developing the patterned exposed resin film with a developer to obtain a patterned resin film, and heat-treating the patterned resin film. This allows a patterned cured product to be obtained.

[0196] A method for producing a patternless cured product includes, for example, a step of forming a photosensitive resin film according to the present disclosure and a step of heat treatment. It may further include a step of exposing the film to light.

[0197] The substrate may be a glass substrate, a semiconductor substrate such as a Si substrate (silicon wafer), or a TiO 2 Substrate, SiO 2Examples of the substrate include a metal oxide insulator substrate, a silicon nitride substrate, a copper substrate, and a copper alloy substrate.

[0198] The method for applying the photosensitive resin composition of the present disclosure is not particularly limited, and can be carried out using a spinner or the like.

[0199] Drying can be carried out using a hot plate, an oven, or the like. The drying temperature is preferably 90°C to 150°C, and from the viewpoint of ensuring dissolution contrast, more preferably 90°C to 120°C. The drying time is preferably 30 seconds to 5 minutes. Drying may be carried out two or more times. This makes it possible to obtain a photosensitive resin film in which the photosensitive resin composition of the present disclosure is formed into a film shape.

[0200] The average thickness of the photosensitive resin film is preferably 1 μm to 100 μm, more preferably 2 μm to 50 μm, and even more preferably 3 μm to 30 μm.

[0201] The pattern exposure is performed by exposing the film to a predetermined pattern through a photomask, for example. The actinic ray to be irradiated may be ultraviolet light such as i-ray, visible light, or radiation, but i-ray is preferred. The exposure device may be a parallel exposure device, an aligner, a projection exposure device, a stepper, a scanner exposure device, or the like.

[0202] By developing, a patterned resin film (patterned resin film) can be obtained. Generally, when a negative photosensitive resin composition is used, the unexposed areas are removed with a developer. As the developer, a good solvent for the photosensitive resin film can be used alone, or an appropriate mixture of a good solvent and a poor solvent can be used. Examples of good solvents include N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-acetyl-2-pyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, γ-butyrolactone, α-acetyl-γ-butyrolactone, cyclopentanone, and cyclohexanone. Examples of poor solvents include toluene, xylene, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, and water.

[0203] A surfactant may be added to the developer in an amount of preferably 0.01 to 10 parts by weight, more preferably 0.1 to 5 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the developer.

[0204] The developing time can be, for example, twice the time required for the photosensitive resin film to be immersed and completely dissolved. The developing time varies depending on the unsaturated polyimide precursor used, but is preferably 10 seconds to 15 minutes, more preferably 10 seconds to 5 minutes, and from the viewpoint of productivity, even more preferably 20 seconds to 5 minutes.

[0205] After development, the resist may be washed with a rinse solution, such as distilled water, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, toluene, xylene, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, or propylene glycol monomethyl ether, which may be used alone or in appropriate mixtures, or in stepwise combinations.

[0206] A patterned cured product can be obtained by heat-treating the patterned resin film, where the unsaturated polyimide precursor undergoes a dehydration ring-closing reaction to form the corresponding polyimide resin.

[0207] The temperature of the heat treatment is preferably 250° C. or less, more preferably 120° C. to 250° C., and even more preferably 160° C. to 200° C. By keeping the heat treatment temperature within the above range, damage to the substrate or device can be minimized, devices can be produced with a high yield, and energy savings can be achieved in the process.

[0208] The heat treatment time is preferably 5 hours or less, more preferably 30 minutes to 3 hours. By keeping the heat treatment time within the above range, the crosslinking reaction or the dehydration ring-closing reaction can be sufficiently progressed. The heat treatment atmosphere may be air or an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen, and a nitrogen atmosphere is preferred from the viewpoint of preventing oxidation of the patterned resin film.

[0209] Examples of equipment used for the heat treatment include a quartz tube furnace, a hot plate, a rapid thermal annealer, a vertical diffusion furnace, an infrared curing furnace, an electron beam curing furnace, and a microwave curing furnace.

[0210] The cured product of the present disclosure can be used as an interlayer insulating film, a cover coat layer, or a surface protective film. Furthermore, the cured product of the present disclosure can be used as a passivation film, a buffer coat film, etc. Highly reliable electronic components such as semiconductor devices, multilayer wiring boards, various electronic devices, and stacked devices (such as multi-die fan-out wafer-level packages) can be manufactured using one or more selected from the group consisting of the passivation film, buffer coat film, interlayer insulating film, cover coat layer, and surface protective film.

[0211] An example of a manufacturing process for a semiconductor device, which is an electronic component according to the present disclosure, will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating a manufacturing process for a semiconductor device with a multilayer wiring structure, which is an electronic component according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In Figure 1, a semiconductor substrate 1, such as a Si substrate, having circuit elements is covered with a protective film 2, such as a silicon oxide film, except for predetermined portions of the circuit elements, and a first conductor layer 3 is formed on the exposed circuit elements. An interlayer insulating film 4 is then formed on the semiconductor substrate 1.

[0212] Next, a photosensitive resin layer 5 such as a chlorinated rubber or phenol novolac resin is formed on the interlayer insulating film 4, and windows 6A are formed by known photoetching techniques so that predetermined portions of the interlayer insulating film 4 are exposed.

[0213] The interlayer insulating film 4 where the window 6A is exposed is selectively etched to provide a window 6B. Next, the photosensitive resin layer 5 is removed using an etching solution that corrodes the photosensitive resin layer 5 without corroding the first conductor layer 3 exposed through the window 6B.

[0214] Furthermore, a second conductor layer 7 is formed using a known photolithography technique, and electrically connected to the first conductor layer 3. When forming a multilayer wiring structure having three or more layers, the above steps can be repeated to form each layer.

[0215] Next, the photosensitive resin composition of the present disclosure is used to open windows 6C by pattern exposure, and a surface protective film 8 is formed. The surface protective film 8 protects the second conductor layer 7 from external stress, alpha rays, etc., and the resulting semiconductor device has excellent reliability. In the above example, the interlayer insulating film 4 can also be formed using the photosensitive resin composition of the present disclosure.

[0216] The present disclosure will be described in more detail below based on examples and comparative examples, but the present disclosure is not limited to the following examples.

[0217] [Examples 1 to 11 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4] Each component shown in Table 1 was mixed in the amount shown in Table 1 to prepare a uniform solution. The resulting solution was filtered through a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane filter with a pore size of 1 μm to obtain the photosensitive resin compositions of Examples 1 to 11 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4. The amount of each component in Table 1 is based on parts by mass. In the table, "NPDA" stands for N-phenyldiethanolamine.

[0218]

[0219] Details of each component listed in Table 1 are as follows.

[0220] Unsaturated Polyimide Precursor I: 380 g of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation) was placed in a 2 L separable flask, and 47.08 g (152 mmol) of 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA, Manac Corporation) was added and dissolved while stirring. Furthermore, 0.24 g (2.1 mmol) of DABCO (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries Co., Ltd.) was added and dissolved, and 5.54 g (42.6 mmol) of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA, Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries Co., Ltd.) was added, followed by stirring at 30 °C for 1 hour to obtain a reaction solution. Separately, 27.4 g (129 mmol) of 2,2'-dimethylbiphenyl-4,4'-diamine (DMAP, Wakayama Seika Kogyo Co., Ltd.) was dissolved in 145 g of NMP to prepare a DMAP solution. The DMAP solution was added dropwise while stirring the reaction solution at 35°C, followed by stirring at 30°C for 3 hours. Next, 59.7 g (284 mmol) of TFAA (trifluoroacetic anhydride, Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) was added dropwise at 30°C. After stirring at 45°C for 2 hours, 0.08 g (0.74 mmol) of BQ (benzoquinone, Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) was added, and 40.4 g (310 mmol) of HEMA was added dropwise. After stirring for 15 hours, the mixture was cooled to room temperature. The reaction solution was poured into purified water, and the precipitate was collected, washed with purified water, and dried under reduced pressure to obtain unsaturated polyimide precursor I. The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of unsaturated polyimide precursor I was 25,000.

[0221] The weight-average molecular weight of the unsaturated polyimide precursor was calculated by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using a calibration curve based on TSKgel standard polystyrene (Tosoh Corporation). The equipment and conditions are shown below. The measurement sample was prepared by dissolving 2 mg of the sample in 1 mL of eluent (tetrahydrofuran (THF) / dimethylformamide (DMF) = 1 / 1 (v / v)) and then filtering through a PTFE membrane filter with a pore size of 1 μm.

[0222] Apparatus: Shimadzu Corporation, Prominence Column: Resonaq Corporation, Gelpak GL S300MDT-5 Eluent: THF / DMF = 1 / 1 (v / v), lithium bromide 0.03 mol / L, phosphoric acid 0.06 mol / L Flow rate: 1.0 mL / min Measurement wavelength: 270 nm Injection volume: 10 μL

[0223] Unsaturated Polyimide Precursor II: An unsaturated polyimide precursor II was prepared, which had an amine component consisting of 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA) and m-phenylenediamine (MPD) in a molar ratio of 7:3, and an acid component consisting of 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA). The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the unsaturated polyimide precursor II was 23,000.

[0224] Unsaturated Polyimide Precursor III An unsaturated polyimide precursor III was prepared, which had a molar ratio of 3:1 between 2,2'-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,4'-diaminobiphenyl (TFMB) as the amine component and pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA) as the acid components. The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the unsaturated polyimide precursor III was 39,000.

[0225] Unsaturated Polyimide Precursor IV: An unsaturated polyimide precursor IV was prepared, which had an amine component consisting of 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA) and 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA). The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the unsaturated polyimide precursor IV was 32,000.

[0226] Solvent: 3-methoxy-N,N'-dimethylpropanamide (trade name "KJCMPA-100", manufactured by KJ Chemicals Co., Ltd.; Crosslinker I: allyl methacrylate; Crosslinker II: triethylene glycol dimethacrylate; Photopolymerization initiator: 2-(benzoyloxyimino)-1-[4-(phenylthio)phenyl]-1-octanone (IRGACURE OXE 01, manufactured by BASF Japan).

[0227] (Preparation of Cured Film) Using a coating and developing apparatus (ACT-8, Tokyo Electron Limited), each photosensitive resin composition was applied onto a Si wafer by spin coating, and the wafer was prebaked (PB) at 100°C for 2 minutes and then at 110°C for 2 minutes to obtain a PB film having a film thickness of 15 μm. The PB film was exposed to light using a mask aligner (MA8, SUSS MicroTec). The exposure dose was 800 mJ / cm for Examples 1 to 7 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3. 2 , and 400 mJ / cm in Examples 8 to 11 and Comparative Example 4. 2 After exposure, development was carried out using cyclopentanone by a two-stage puddle method. The development time for each composition was determined as follows. An unexposed 15 μm PB film was prepared, and the time from when a developer was dropped onto this PB film until the interference fringes caused by development disappeared was measured, and the resulting time was taken as the development time. Development was carried out twice for the aforementioned development time. After development, the film was cured in a vertical diffusion furnace (μ-TF, Koyo Thermo Systems Co., Ltd.) at 230°C for 2 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere to produce a cured film.

[0228] (Tensile Test Method) The cured product prepared on a Si wafer was immersed in a 4.9% by mass aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid and peeled off from the Si wafer to obtain a sample for evaluation of mechanical properties. Tensile tests were performed on these samples using a Shimadzu AGS-X 100N autograph. Measurements were performed six times for each sample, with a chuck distance of 50 mm, a tensile speed of 40 mm / min, and a measurement temperature of 18°C ​​to 25°C. The elongation at break (%) was measured, and the average of the six measurements was also calculated. Next, a graph was created from the measured values, with the load on the horizontal axis and the elongation on the vertical axis. The tensile modulus (GPa) of each test piece was calculated from the tangent to the rising portion of the load-elongation curve. The tensile strength at break (MPa) at the time the sample broke was also calculated. The results are shown in Tables 2 to 16.

[0244] In the measurement of the breaking elongation of Examples 1 to 11 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4, the number of times that a breaking elongation of 40% or more was obtained out of six measurements, the percentage (%) of the breaking elongation (Evaluation 1), and the percentage (%) of the average value / maximum value of the breaking elongation (Variation, Evaluation 2) are summarized in Table 6.

[0245]

[0246] In the Comparative Examples, cured films with higher breaking elongation percentages were occasionally obtained, but on average, the breaking elongation percentages of the cured films of the Comparative Examples were lower than those of the cured films of the Examples. Furthermore, as shown in Table 17, the cured films obtained from the compositions of the Examples containing an unsaturated polyimide precursor, a specific solvent, and N-phenyldiethanolamine had smaller breaking elongation percentage variations, close to 100%, compared to the cured films obtained from the Comparative Examples not containing N-phenyldiethanolamine. Comparative Example 4 had smaller breaking elongation percentage variations, but its breaking elongation percentage was small to begin with.

[0247] Furthermore, a comparison of Examples 3 to 5 shows that the variation in elongation at break was suppressed even when the blending amount of N-phenyldiethanolamine was changed. In particular, Examples 4 and 5, in which the content of N-phenyldiethanolamine was 5 to 10 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of unsaturated polyimide precursor, more effectively suppressed the variation in elongation at break than Example 3, in which the content of N-phenyldiethanolamine was 3 parts by mass. However, a comparison of Examples 1 to 3 shows that by adjusting the content of crosslinking agent, it is possible to bring the variation in elongation at break closer to that of Examples 4 and 5, even when the content of N-phenyldiethanolamine was 3 parts by mass.

[0248] Furthermore, as shown in Table 17, in the Examples, even when the type of unsaturated polyimide precursor was changed, the variation in the elongation at break was suppressed.
