Description

Insulating film forming material, insulating film forming material kit, semiconductor device manufacturing method, and semiconductor device

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an insulating film forming material, an insulating film forming material kit, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and a semiconductor device.

[0002] In recent years, three-dimensional packaging of semiconductor chips has been considered in order to improve the integration density of LSIs (Large Scale Integrated Circuits). Non-Patent Document 1 discloses an example of three-dimensional packaging of semiconductor chips.

[0003] When three-dimensionally mounting semiconductor chips using C2W (Chip-to-Wafer) bonding, the use of hybrid bonding technology used in W2W (Wafer-to-Wafer) bonding is being considered to achieve fine bonding of the wiring between devices.

[0004] In C2W hybrid bonding, there is a risk of misalignment occurring due to thermal expansion of the substrate, chip, etc. caused by heating during bonding. To address this issue, Patent Document 1 discloses an example of a technology that can lower the bonding temperature by using a cyclic olefin resin.

[0005] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2019-204818

[0006] FC Chen et al., “System on Integrated Chips(SoIC TM) for 3D Heterogeneous Integration”, 2019 IEEE 69th Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC), p.594-599(2019)

[0007] When three-dimensionally mounting semiconductor chips using C2W bonding, unlike W2W bonding, foreign matter (cutting debris) may be generated during the process of dividing into semiconductor chips, and there is a risk that this foreign matter may adhere to the bonding interface of the semiconductor chips, etc. (surface of the insulating film in hybrid bonding). This insulating film contains silicon dioxide (SiO 2The use of inorganic materials such as SiO2, SiO2, and SiO2 has been considered. However, because inorganic materials are hard, any foreign particles adhering to the insulating film can create large voids at the bonding interface, with widths approaching 1,000 times the height of the foreign particles. Therefore, simply applying the hybrid bonding technology used in W2W bonding to C2W bonding can result in bonding defects due to the creation of such voids, which can reduce the yield of semiconductor device manufacturing. Meanwhile, using high-purity clean rooms and equipment to prevent these bonding defects requires significant capital investment in the clean rooms and other facilities.

[0008] Furthermore, when an organic material such as a cyclic olefin resin is used as the insulating film material, the heat resistance of the organic material is insufficient, and the insulating film is exposed to high temperatures during C2W bonding, which may cause the organic material to deteriorate and lead to poor bonding at the interface between the substrate and the insulating film, for example.

[0009] The present inventors have investigated the use of insulating materials containing organic materials with excellent heat resistance, such as polyimide precursors and polyimide resins, in order to prevent bonding defects and deterioration of organic materials due to the generation of voids. However, when polyimides with a high coefficient of linear expansion (CTE) are used in hybrid bonding techniques, the CTE differs between the electrode material, such as copper, and the polyimide. For example, the CTE of the polyimide is higher than the CTE of the electrode material, which can cause gaps at the bonding interface of the electrode material and lead to bonding defects. On the other hand, when polyimides with a low CTE are used in hybrid bonding techniques, bonding defects of the electrode material can be prevented, but the bonding strength between the polyimides tends to be low. In hybrid bonding techniques, resins that can be bonded at lower temperatures, such as room temperature, are desirable, but when polyimides with a low CTE are used, high temperatures are required for bonding by heating.

[0010] The present disclosure has been made in view of the above, and aims to provide an insulating film-forming material and an insulating film-forming material kit that can manufacture a semiconductor device in which the occurrence of poor bonding of electrode materials and poor bonding of insulating films during hybrid bonding is suppressed, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device using the insulating film-forming material or the insulating film-forming material kit, and a semiconductor device.

In the present disclosure, in numerical ranges described in stages, the upper or lower limit of one numerical range may be replaced with the upper or lower limit of another numerical range described in stages.

[0016] <Insulating Film-Forming Material> The insulating film-forming material of the present disclosure includes a first component which is at least one of a polyimide precursor, which is at least one resin selected from the group consisting of polyamic acid, polyamic acid ester, polyamic acid salt, and polyamic acid amide, and a polyimide resin, and which has a coefficient of linear expansion (CTE) of 1 ppm / K to 25 ppm / K after curing; and a second component which is at least one of a polyimide precursor, which is at least one resin selected from the group consisting of polyamic acid, polyamic acid ester, polyamic acid salt, and polyamic acid amide, and a polyimide resin, and which has a coefficient of linear expansion of 40 ppm / K to 120 ppm / K after curing.

[0017] The insulating film-forming material of the present disclosure, by including a first component and a second component, enables the manufacture of a semiconductor device in which poor bonding of electrode materials and poor bonding of insulating films during hybrid bonding is suppressed. The reason for this is presumed to be as follows: By using a component as the first component that has a relatively small CTE and therefore a small difference in CTE from that of an electrode material such as copper, gaps are less likely to occur at the bonding interface between the electrode materials when the electrode materials are annealed, and poor bonding of the electrode materials is suppressed. Furthermore, by using a component with a relatively high CTE as the second component, poor bonding between insulating films can also be suppressed, and hybrid bonding at low temperatures is also possible.

[0018] The insulating film-forming material of the present disclosure is a material used to form an insulating film, and the use of the insulating film produced is not particularly limited, and the insulating film can be applied to uses requiring insulating properties.

[0115] The insulating film-forming material kit of the present disclosure, by using a first agent and a second agent, enables the manufacture of a semiconductor device in which poor bonding of electrode materials and poor bonding of insulating films during hybrid bonding is suppressed. The reason for this is presumed to be as follows: Using the insulating film-forming material kit of the present disclosure, hybrid bonding can be performed between an insulating film formed by curing a first agent containing a component with a relatively small CTE and therefore a small difference in CTE from an electrode material such as copper, and an insulating film formed by curing a second agent containing a component with a relatively high CTE. In this case, by using a component with a small difference in CTE as the first component, gaps are less likely to occur at the bonding interface between the electrode materials when annealing the electrode materials, thereby suppressing poor bonding of the electrode materials. Furthermore, by using a component with a relatively high CTE as the second component, poor bonding of insulating films can be suppressed and hybrid bonding at low temperatures is also possible.

[0116] The insulating film-forming material kit of the present disclosure is a material used for forming an insulating film, and the use of the insulating film to be produced is not particularly limited, and the insulating film can be applied to uses requiring insulating properties.

[0117] The insulating film forming material kit of the present disclosure may be applied to hybrid bonding techniques such as W2W (Wafer-to-Wafer) bonding, C2W (Chip-to-Wafer) bonding, etc. When insulating films are bonded together for hybrid bonding, it is preferable that one insulating film is formed from a first agent and the other insulating film is formed from a second agent.

[0118] The preferred (A) component in the first agent is the same as the preferred (A) component in the first component of the insulating film-forming material of the present disclosure. The preferred (A) component in the second agent is the same as the preferred (A) component in the second component of the insulating film-forming material of the present disclosure.

[0119] The first agent and the second agent may each independently contain a component other than component (A). The first agent and the second agent may each independently contain, as necessary, at least one of a resin component other than component (A), a solvent, a polymerizable monomer, a photopolymerization initiator, a thermal polymerization initiator, a polymerization inhibitor, an antioxidant, a coupling agent, a surfactant, a leveling agent, a rust inhibitor, a nitrogen-containing compound, or a dicarboxylic acid. For example, at least one of the first agent and the second agent may contain a polymerizable monomer.

[0120] <Semiconductor Device> The semiconductor device disclosed herein includes a first semiconductor substrate having a first substrate body, a first organic insulating film and a first electrode provided on one surface of the first substrate body, and a semiconductor chip having a semiconductor chip substrate body and a second organic insulating film and a second electrode provided on one surface of the semiconductor chip substrate body, wherein the first organic insulating film of the first semiconductor substrate is bonded to the second organic insulating film of the semiconductor chip, the first electrode of the first semiconductor substrate is bonded to the second electrode of the semiconductor chip, and at least one of the first organic insulating film and the second organic insulating film is an insulating film formed by curing an insulating film-forming material disclosed herein. In the semiconductor device disclosed herein, at least one of the first organic insulating film and the second organic insulating film is an insulating film formed by curing an insulating film-forming material disclosed herein, thereby suppressing bonding defects of the electrode material and the insulating film. Furthermore, the semiconductor device disclosed herein can be manufactured, for example, by the semiconductor device manufacturing method described below.

[0121] (Variation) In a variation of the semiconductor device of the present disclosure, one of the first organic insulating film and the second organic insulating film is an organic insulating film formed by curing the first agent in the insulating film-forming material kit of the present disclosure, and the other of the first organic insulating film and the second organic insulating film is an organic insulating film formed by curing the second agent in the insulating film-forming material kit of the present disclosure. Even in this case, hybrid bonding can be performed between an organic insulating film formed by curing a first agent containing a component whose CTE is relatively small and therefore has a small difference in CTE from that of an electrode material such as copper, and an organic insulating film formed by curing a second agent containing a component whose CTE is relatively high. As a result, poor bonding of the electrode material and poor bonding of the insulating film are suppressed.

[0122] <Method for Manufacturing a Semiconductor Device> The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present disclosure includes preparing at least one of a first organic insulating film and a second organic insulating film using the insulating film-forming material according to the present disclosure, and then bonding the first organic insulating film and the second organic insulating film together. Alternatively, the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present disclosure may include preparing one of the first organic insulating film and the second organic insulating film using the first agent in the insulating film-forming material kit according to the present disclosure, preparing the other of the first organic insulating film and the second organic insulating film using the second agent in the insulating film-forming material kit according to the present disclosure, and then bonding the first organic insulating film and the second organic insulating film together. For example, a semiconductor device can be manufactured through the following steps (1) to (5). Step (1): Preparing a first semiconductor substrate having a first substrate body and the first organic insulating film and a first electrode provided on one surface of the first substrate body. Step (2): Preparing a second semiconductor substrate having a second substrate body and the second organic insulating film and a plurality of second electrodes provided on one surface of the second substrate body. Step (3): Dividing the second semiconductor substrate into individual pieces to obtain a plurality of semiconductor chips, each of which includes the second organic insulating film and at least one of the second electrodes. Step (4): Bonding the first organic insulating film of the first semiconductor substrate and the second organic insulating film of the semiconductor chip together. Step (5): Bonding the first electrode of the first semiconductor substrate and the second electrode of the semiconductor chip together.

[0123] In step (1), a first semiconductor substrate may be prepared by forming a first electrode on a first substrate body and then forming a first organic insulating film around the first electrode. In step (2), a second semiconductor substrate may be prepared by forming a second electrode on a second substrate body and then forming a second organic insulating film around the second electrode.

[0124] An embodiment of a semiconductor device according to the present disclosure and an embodiment of a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, identical or equivalent parts will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicated explanations will be omitted. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, positional relationships such as up, down, left, and right will be based on the positional relationships shown in the drawings. Furthermore, the dimensional ratios of the drawings are not limited to those shown.

[0125] 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating an example of a semiconductor device according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the semiconductor device 1 is an example of a semiconductor package, and includes a first semiconductor chip 10 (first semiconductor substrate), a second semiconductor chip 20 (semiconductor chip), a pillar portion 30, a redistribution layer 40, a substrate 50, and a circuit board 60.

[0126] The first semiconductor chip 10 is a semiconductor chip such as an LSI (large-scale integrated circuit) chip or a CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) sensor, and the second semiconductor chip 20 is mounted downward in a three-dimensional mounting structure. The second semiconductor chip 20 is a semiconductor chip such as an LSI or memory, and is a chip component having a smaller area in a plan view than the first semiconductor chip 10. The second semiconductor chip 20 is bonded to the back surface of the first semiconductor chip 10 by chip-to-chip (C2C) bonding. The first semiconductor chip 10 and the second semiconductor chip 20 are finely bonded to each other by hybrid bonding, the details of which will be described later, with their respective terminal electrodes and surrounding insulating films firmly and without misalignment.

[0127] The pillar portion 30 is a connection portion in which multiple pillars 31 formed of a metal such as copper (Cu) are sealed with resin 32. The multiple pillars 31 are conductive members extending from the upper surface to the lower surface of the pillar portion 30. The multiple pillars 31 may have a cylindrical shape with a diameter of, for example, 3 μm to 20 μm (for example, a diameter of 5 μm) and may be arranged so that the center-to-center distance between each pillar 31 is 15 μm or less. The multiple pillars 31 flip-chip connect the lower terminal electrodes of the first semiconductor chip 10 to the upper terminal electrodes of the redistribution layer 40. By using the pillar portion 30, the semiconductor device 1 can form connection electrodes without using a technique known as TMV (Through Mold Via), which involves drilling holes in a mold and soldering the connection. The pillar portion 30 has, for example, a thickness approximately the same as that of the second semiconductor chip 20 and is arranged on the side of the second semiconductor chip 20 in the horizontal direction. In addition, multiple solder balls may be arranged instead of the pillar portions 30, and the solder balls may electrically connect the lower terminal electrodes of the first semiconductor chip 10 and the upper terminal electrodes of the rewiring layer 40.

[0128] The rewiring layer 40 is a wiring layer having a terminal pitch conversion function, which is a function of the package substrate, and is a layer in which a rewiring pattern is formed using polyimide, copper wiring, etc. on the insulating film below the second semiconductor chip 20 and on the lower surface of the pillar portion 30. The rewiring layer 40 is formed in a state in which the first semiconductor chip 10 (first semiconductor substrate 100), the second semiconductor chip 20, etc. are turned upside down (see (d) of FIG. 4).

[0129] The redistribution layer 40 electrically connects the terminal electrodes on the underside of the second semiconductor chip 20 and the terminal electrodes of the first semiconductor chip 10 via the pillar portions 30 to the terminal electrodes of the substrate 50. The terminal pitch of the substrate 50 is wider than the terminal pitch of the pillars 31 and the terminal pitch of the second semiconductor chip 20. Various electronic components 51 may be mounted on the substrate 50. Furthermore, if there is a large difference in the terminal pitch between the redistribution layer 40 and the substrate 50, an inorganic interposer or the like may be used between the redistribution layer 40 and the substrate 50 to establish electrical connection between the redistribution layer 40 and the substrate 50.

[0130] The circuit board 60 is a substrate on which the first semiconductor chip 10 and the second semiconductor chip 20 are mounted, and has a plurality of through electrodes therein that are electrically connected to the substrate 50 that is connected to the first semiconductor chip 10, the second semiconductor chip 20, and electronic components 51. In the circuit board 60, the plurality of through electrodes electrically connect the terminal electrodes of the first semiconductor chip 10 and the second semiconductor chip 20 to terminal electrodes 61 provided on the back surface of the circuit board 60.

[0132] The semiconductor device 1 can be manufactured, for example, through the following steps (a) to (n): (a) preparing a first semiconductor substrate 100 corresponding to the first semiconductor chip 10; (b) preparing a second semiconductor substrate 200 corresponding to the second semiconductor chip 20; (c) polishing the surface 101a of the first semiconductor substrate 100 using a CMP method so that the surfaces 103a of the terminal electrodes 103 are positioned at the same level as or protrude from the surface 102a of the insulating film 102 (see FIG. 3A); (d) polishing the surface 201a of the second semiconductor substrate 200 using a CMP method so that the surfaces 203a of the terminal electrodes 203 are positioned at the same level as or protrude from the surface 202a of the insulating film 202 (see FIG. 3A); and (e) singulating the second semiconductor substrate 200 to obtain multiple semiconductor chips 205, as shown in FIG. 2B. (f) a step of aligning the terminal electrodes 203 of each of the plurality of semiconductor chips 205 with the terminal electrodes 103 of the first semiconductor substrate 100, as shown in (c) of Figure 2. (g) a step of bonding the insulating film 102 of the first semiconductor substrate 100 and each insulating film 202b of the plurality of semiconductor chips 205 to each other (see (d) of Figure 2 and (b) of Figure 3). At this time, heat H, pressure, or both may be applied. (h) a step of bonding the terminal electrodes 103 of the first semiconductor substrate 100 to the terminal electrodes 203 of each of the plurality of semiconductor chips 205 (see (c) of Figure 3). (i) a step of forming a plurality of pillars 300 (corresponding to pillars 31) on the connection surface of the first semiconductor substrate 100 and between the plurality of semiconductor chips 205 (see (a) of Figure 4). (j) A process of molding resin 301 onto the connection surface of the first semiconductor substrate 100 so as to cover the semiconductor chip 205 and the pillar 300, thereby obtaining a semi-finished product M1 (see FIG. 4B). (k) A process of grinding the resin 301 side of the semi-finished product M1 molded in process (j) to thin it, thereby obtaining a semi-finished product M2 (see FIG. 4C). (l) A process of forming a wiring layer 400 corresponding to the rewiring layer 40 in the semi-finished product M2 thinned in process (k) (see FIG. 4D). (m) A process of cutting the semi-finished product M3 on which the wiring layer 400 has been formed in process (l) along cutting lines A to obtain each semiconductor device 1 (see FIG. 4D).(n) A step of inverting the semiconductor device 1a made into an individual package in the step (m) and placing it on the substrate 50 and the circuit board 60 (see FIG. 1).

[0133] For example, in the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present disclosure, step (1) corresponds to the aforementioned steps (a) and (c), step (2) corresponds to the aforementioned steps (b) and (d), step (3) corresponds to step (e), step (4) corresponds to step (g), and step (5) corresponds to step (h). Furthermore, the insulating film-forming material according to the present disclosure may be an insulating film-forming material for use in producing at least one of the first organic insulating film and the second organic insulating film in the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device.

[0134] Step (a) is a step of preparing a first semiconductor substrate 100, which is a silicon substrate on which integrated circuits composed of semiconductor elements and wiring connecting them are formed, corresponding to a plurality of first semiconductor chips 10. In step (a), as shown in FIG. 2A, a plurality of terminal electrodes 103 (first electrodes) made of copper, aluminum, or the like are provided at predetermined intervals on one surface 101a of a first substrate body 101 made of silicon or the like, and an insulating film 102 (first insulating film) which is a cured product obtained by curing an insulating film forming material of the present disclosure is provided. When the insulating film forming material is a photosensitive material such as a negative-type photosensitive insulating film forming material or a positive-type photosensitive insulating film forming material, the insulating film 102 may be provided on the one surface 101a of the first substrate body 101 after the insulating film 102 is provided on the one surface 101a of the first substrate body 101, or the plurality of terminal electrodes 103 may be provided on the one surface 101a of the first substrate body 101 before the insulating film 102 is provided. When the insulating film forming material is a non-photosensitive material, the insulating film 102 may be formed after the terminal electrodes 103 are formed on the one surface 101 a of the first substrate body 101 .

[0135] Step (b) is a step of preparing a second semiconductor substrate 200, which is a silicon substrate on which integrated circuits including semiconductor elements and wiring connecting them are formed, corresponding to the plurality of second semiconductor chips 20. In step (b), as shown in (a) of FIG. 2, a plurality of terminal electrodes 203 (a plurality of second electrodes) made of copper, aluminum, or the like are continuously provided on one surface 201a of a second substrate body 201 made of silicon or the like, and an insulating film 202 (a second insulating film) that is a cured product obtained by curing the insulating film forming material of the present disclosure is provided. When the insulating film forming material is a photosensitive material such as a negative-type photosensitive insulating film forming material or a positive-type photosensitive insulating film forming material, the insulating film 202 may be provided on the one surface 201a of the second substrate body 201 before the plurality of terminal electrodes 203 are provided, or the plurality of terminal electrodes 203 may be provided on the one surface 201a of the second substrate body 201 before the insulating film 202 is provided. When the insulating film forming material is a non-photosensitive material, the insulating film 202 may be formed after the terminal electrodes 203 are formed on the one surface 201 a of the second substrate body 201 .

[0136] The insulating films 102 and 202 used in steps (a) and (b) are not limited to being both cured products obtained by curing the insulating film-forming material of the present disclosure, and at least one of the insulating films 102 and 202 may be a cured product obtained by curing the insulating film-forming material of the present disclosure. Examples of insulating films other than the cured product include cured products obtained by curing an insulating film-forming material containing an organic material such as polyamideimide, benzocyclobutene (BCB), polybenzoxazole (PBO), or a PBO precursor.

[0137] Although FIG. 1 illustrates an example of C2C bonding, the present invention may also be applied to chip-to-wafer (C2W) bonding as shown in FIG. 5 . In C2W, a semiconductor wafer 410 (first semiconductor substrate) is prepared, which includes a substrate body 411 (first substrate body), an insulating film 412 (first insulating film) provided on one surface of the substrate body 411, and a plurality of terminal electrodes 413 (first electrodes). Furthermore, a semiconductor substrate (second semiconductor substrate) is prepared, which includes a substrate body 421 (second substrate body), an insulating film 422 (second insulating film) provided on one surface of the substrate body 421, and a plurality of terminal electrodes 423 (second electrodes). Then, one surface of the semiconductor wafer 410 and one surface of the second semiconductor substrate before being singulated into the semiconductor chips 420 are polished by CMP or the like, similar to steps (c) and (d) above. Thereafter, the second semiconductor substrate is subjected to a singulation process similar to that in step (e) to obtain a plurality of semiconductor chips 420 .

[0138] Next, as shown in FIG. 5A, the terminal electrodes 423 of the semiconductor chip 420 are aligned with the terminal electrodes 413 of the semiconductor wafer 410 (step (f)). Then, the insulating film 412 of the semiconductor wafer 410 and the insulating film 422 of the semiconductor chip 420 are bonded together (step (g)), and the terminal electrodes 413 of the semiconductor wafer 410 and the terminal electrodes 423 of the semiconductor chip 420 are bonded together (step (h)), resulting in the semi-finished product shown in FIG. 5B. This results in an insulating bonded portion S3 where the insulating film 412 and the insulating film 422 are bonded together, and the semiconductor chip 420 is mechanically firmly attached to the semiconductor wafer 410 with high precision. Furthermore, the terminal electrodes 413 and the corresponding terminal electrodes 423 are bonded together to form an electrode bonded portion S4, where the terminal electrodes 413 and 423 are mechanically and electrically firmly bonded together.

[0139] In step (h), as shown in FIG. 2(d), after the lamination in step (g) is completed, heat H, pressure, or both are applied to bond the terminal electrodes 103 of the first semiconductor substrate 100 to the respective terminal electrodes 203 of the multiple semiconductor chips 205 by hybrid bonding (see FIG. 3(c)). When the terminal electrodes 103 and 203 are made of copper, the annealing temperature in step (g) is preferably 150°C or higher and 400°C or lower, and more preferably 200°C or higher and 300°C or lower. In particular, the use of the insulating film-forming material of the present disclosure makes it possible to set the annealing temperature low. This bonding process forms an electrode bonding portion S2 where the terminal electrode 103 and the corresponding terminal electrode 203 are bonded, and the terminal electrodes 103 and 203 are firmly bonded mechanically and electrically. The electrode bonding in step (h) may be performed after the lamination in step (g) or simultaneously with the lamination in step (g).

[0140] 5(c) and 5(d), a plurality of semiconductor chips 420 are bonded to a semiconductor wafer 410 in a similar manner to obtain a semiconductor device 401. Note that the plurality of semiconductor chips 420 may be bonded to the semiconductor wafer 410 one by one by hybrid bonding, or may be bonded collectively to the semiconductor wafer 410 by hybrid bonding.

[0141] In the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device 401, as in the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device 1, at least one of the insulating film 412 of the semiconductor wafer 410 and the insulating film 422 of the semiconductor chip 420 is an insulating film that is a cured product obtained by curing the insulating film-forming material of the present disclosure. Therefore, a semiconductor device having an insulating film with excellent insulating reliability can be obtained.

[0142] (Variation 1) In the semiconductor device and semiconductor device manufacturing method of the present disclosure, a configuration in which the first electrode and the second electrode are bonded has been described. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. For example, in the semiconductor device of the present disclosure, the first electrode and the second electrode may be through-hole electrodes that penetrate the first semiconductor substrate and the second semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor device manufacturing method of the present disclosure may, for example, use the insulating film-forming material of the present disclosure to form at least one of the first organic insulating film and the second organic insulating film, and manufacture a semiconductor device through the following steps (1)' to (5)'. Step (1)': Preparing a first semiconductor substrate having a first substrate body and the first organic insulating film provided on one surface of the first substrate body. Step (2)': Preparing a second semiconductor substrate having a second substrate body and the second organic insulating film provided on one surface of the second substrate body. Step (3)': Slicing the second semiconductor substrate to obtain multiple semiconductor chips each including the second organic insulating film. Step (4)': Bonding the first organic insulating film of the first semiconductor substrate and the second organic insulating film of the semiconductor chip together. In step (5)', through holes are formed in parts of the bonded first and second semiconductor substrates, and through electrodes are formed in the through holes. In step (5)', the method for forming the through holes and the method for forming the through electrodes are not particularly limited. For example, the through holes may be formed by etching or the like, and the through electrodes may be formed by electroplating, electroless plating, sputtering, or the like.

[0151] [Examples 1 to 3, Comparative Example 1] (Preparation of insulating film-forming material) Using the components and blending amounts shown in Table 1, insulating film-forming materials of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1 were prepared as follows. The blending amount of each component in Table 1 is expressed in parts by mass. A blank space in Table 1 indicates that the corresponding component was not blended. In each example and comparative example, a mixture of the components was kneaded overnight at room temperature in a general solvent-resistant container, and then pressure filtered using a filter with 0.2 μm pores. The following evaluations were carried out using the obtained insulating film-forming materials.

[0152] The components in Table 1 are as follows: Component (A) (polymer component) A1 to A4 described above Component (B) (solvent) B1: 3-methoxy-N,N-dimethylpropionamide Rust inhibitor C1 Coupling agent D1: 50% methanol solution of 3-ureidopropyltriethoxysilane

[0153] (Bonding Evaluation) The insulating film forming materials of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1 were spin-coated onto an 8-inch Si wafer using a spin coater coating device, and then heated and dried at 100°C for 120 seconds, and then heated and dried at 110°C for 120 seconds to form a resin film. The obtained exposed resin film and the resin film of Comparative Example 1 were cured in a nitrogen atmosphere using a vertical diffusion furnace μ-TF at the curing temperature and for the curing time listed in Table 1 to obtain a cured film.

[0154] The cured films of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1 were polished by CMP to an arithmetic mean surface roughness (Ra) of 2 nm or less to obtain polished cured films. The polished cured films were then scrubbed using a standard cleaning solution, and the cleaned cured films were then diced into 4 mm square and 8 mm square pieces using a blade dicer (DISCO DFD-6362) to obtain resin-coated top chips and resin-coated bottom chips. Bonded chips were produced by compressing the resulting resin-coated top chip to the resin-coated bottom chip using a flip chip bonder (Toray Engineering Co., Ltd. MD4000) at a predetermined pressure and bonding temperature for 15 seconds. The bonded chips were then heat-treated at 250°C for 30 minutes in an inert gas oven (JTEKT Corporation). Ten bonded chips produced for each insulating film-forming material were evaluated as described below. A shear test was performed on the resulting bonded chip using a bond tester (System 650 manufactured by Hugle Electronics Inc.) under conditions of a shear height of 20 μm and a shear speed of 20 μm per second, and the load applied when the chip peeled off was measured. The load applied when the chip peeled off was used to calculate the shear strength of the adhesive layer using the following formula: Shear strength (MPa) = Load (N) / Chip area (mm 2 The results are shown in Table 1. Evaluation criteria for poor bonding A: The average shear strength of the 10 chips was 3 MPa or more. B: The average shear strength of the 10 chips was 3 MPa or less, or the chip peeled off during measurement.

[0155] (Evaluation of Linear Expansion Coefficient After Curing) The linear expansion coefficients of Polymers A1 to A4 in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1 were evaluated as follows. First, a composition for evaluating the linear expansion coefficient was prepared in which component (A) in Example 1 (A1 + A2, 100 parts by mass) was replaced with any one of Polymers A1 to A4 (100 parts by mass of any one of A1 to A4). A cured film was formed using the composition for evaluating the linear expansion coefficient as follows, and the thermal expansion coefficient was then measured. The composition was spin-coated onto a Si substrate and heated and dried on a hot plate at 95°C for 120 seconds, followed by heating and drying at 105°C for 120 seconds, to form a resin film with a thickness of approximately 10 μm after curing. A resin film obtained using a composition containing A1 was cured in a vertical diffusion furnace μ-TF under a nitrogen atmosphere at 250°C for 2 hours to obtain a cured product with a film thickness of 10 μm. The resulting cured product was immersed in a 4.9% by mass aqueous hydrofluoric acid solution and peeled from the Si substrate. The resulting cured product was shaped to a width of 10 mm using a razor to obtain a patterned cured product having a width of 10 mm.

[0156] Using a TMA tester (TMA2940 manufactured by DuPont), the linear expansion coefficient of the patterned cured product (measurement sample) in the surface direction from 50°C to 100°C was measured under the following conditions: initial sample length 10 mm, sample width 5 mm, load 10 g, and heating rate 5°C / min.
