Description

Resin composition, cured product, method for producing cured product, and electronic component

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

[0002] Polyimide resins, which combine excellent heat resistance with electrical and mechanical properties, are widely used as materials for resin films used as surface protection films, interlayer insulating films, and the like for elements in semiconductor devices. In recent years, miniaturization and stacking of packaging technologies to protect semiconductor elements have progressed to improve the functionality of electronic devices such as AI (Artificial Intelligence) and smartphones. Furthermore, miniaturization, stacking, and multi-layering of the rewiring layers that make up semiconductor devices are also required. Therefore, photosensitive polyimide materials that can ensure flatness when multi-layered are required as rewiring materials. Furthermore, to improve the performance of electronic devices, components with low heat resistance are sometimes used in semiconductor devices, and there is a demand for reducing the heating temperature (i.e., the curing temperature of the photosensitive polyimide material) when fabricating semiconductor devices. A negative-tone photosensitive resin composition containing a polyamide-imide precursor resin having a specific structure, a photopolymerization initiator, and a solvent has been proposed as a resin composition capable of forming a resin film by patterned exposure (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2023-153029

[0013] Modes for carrying out the present disclosure are described in detail below. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments. In the present disclosure, components (including elementary steps, etc.) are not essential unless otherwise specified. The same applies to numerical values ​​and their ranges, and do not limit the present disclosure. 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 the 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 numerical range described in stages. Furthermore, in the 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 a composition contains multiple substances corresponding to each component, 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 this disclosure, the terms "layer" and "film" include cases where the layer or film is formed over the entire area when the layer or film is observed, as well as cases where the layer or film is formed only over a portion of the area. In this disclosure, the thickness of a layer or film is determined by measuring the thickness at five points on the layer or film in question and calculating the arithmetic mean value. The thickness of a layer or film can be measured using an optical interference film thickness measuring device or the like. In this disclosure, if 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.

When the resin composition is heat-cured at 170°C for 2 hours, the curing shrinkage is 17% or less. The resin composition of the present disclosure enables the formation of a resin film with ensured flatness. Although the reason for this is unclear, curing the polyimide precursor generally imidizes the polyimide precursor, causing the resin film to shrink during curing. If the curing shrinkage during resin film formation is large, when the resin film is formed on an uneven surface, such as a substrate or resin film provided with vias, slits, metal wiring, etc., the resin film is likely to have poor flatness due to the surface unevenness. Forming metal wiring on a resin film with an uneven surface can result in pattern defects. After extensive research, the inventors discovered that the flatness of the resin film can be ensured by reducing the curing shrinkage to 17% or less, and thus completed the present invention.

[0114] (Solvent) The resin composition of the present disclosure may contain a solvent. The solvent may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Specific examples of the solvent include ketones such as cyclohexanone, cyclopentanone, and methyl-2-n-pentyl ketone; alcohols such as 3-methoxybutanol, 3-methyl-3-methoxybutanol, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, and 1-ethoxy-2-propanol; ethers such as propylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, propylene glycol dimethyl ether, and diethylene glycol dimethyl ether; esters such as propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, propylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, ethyl lactate, ethyl pyruvate, butyl acetate, methyl 3-methoxypropionate, ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate, tert-butyl acetate, tert-butyl propionate, propylene glycol mono-tert-butyl ether acetate, and γ-butyrolactone; and sulfoxides such as dimethyl sulfoxide.

[0117] <Cured Product> The cured product of the present disclosure can be obtained by curing the resin composition of the present disclosure. When the resin composition of the present disclosure is photosensitive, the cured product of the present disclosure can be obtained by exposing the resin composition to light and then heat-treating it. Examples of methods for imparting photosensitivity to a resin composition include a method of adding a photocurable component such as a photopolymerization initiator to the resin composition. The cured product of the present disclosure can be suitably used as a patterned cured product. The average thickness of the cured product is preferably 5 μm to 20 μm.

[0118] <Method for Producing Cured Product> A method for producing a cured product according to the present disclosure includes the steps of forming a layer of the resin composition according to the present disclosure on a substrate and curing the layer of the resin composition.

[0119] The method for forming a layer of the resin composition on a substrate (hereinafter also referred to as a resin composition layer) is not particularly limited. For example, the method may involve applying the resin composition to the substrate using a spinner or the like, and drying it using a hot plate, an oven, or the like.

[0120] The substrate may be a glass substrate, a semiconductor substrate such as a Si substrate (silicon wafer), or a TiO 2 Substrate, SiO 2 Examples of the substrate include a metal oxide insulating substrate, a silicon nitride substrate, a copper substrate, a copper alloy substrate, etc. The surface of the substrate on which the resin composition layer is formed may be made of two or more different materials.

[0121] The average thickness of the resin composition layer formed on the substrate is preferably 5 μm to 100 μm, more preferably 6 μm to 50 μm, and even more preferably 7 μm to 30 μm.

[0122] The method for curing the resin composition layer formed on the substrate is not particularly limited. When the resin composition is photosensitive, the resin composition layer may be cured by exposure (and, if necessary, heat treatment after exposure). Exposure may be performed by pattern exposure (a method of performing exposure in a pattern consisting of exposed and unexposed areas). Pattern exposure is performed, for example, by exposing in a predetermined pattern through a photomask. Examples of actinic rays used for exposure include ultraviolet rays such as i-rays, visible light, and radiation, with i-rays being preferred. Examples of exposure devices that can be used include parallel exposure machines, aligners, projection exposure machines, steppers, scanner exposure machines, and the like.

[0123] A patterned resin film (patterned resin film) can be obtained by developing the exposed resin composition layer. Generally, when a negative-tone photosensitive resin composition is used, the unexposed areas are removed with a developer. As the developer, a good solvent for the resin film can be used alone, or an appropriate mixture of a good solvent and a poor solvent can be used. The developed patterned resin film may be washed with a rinse solution. 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.

[0124] The developed resin film may be subjected to a heat treatment (post-baking) to obtain a patterned cured product. By performing the heat treatment, for example, an unsaturated polyimide precursor contained in the developed resin film undergoes a dehydration ring-closing reaction to form a polyimide resin.

[0125] 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.

[0126] The heat treatment time is preferably 5 hours or less, more preferably 30 minutes to 3 hours. The heat treatment atmosphere may be air or an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen, but a nitrogen atmosphere is preferred from the viewpoint of preventing oxidation of the patterned resin film.

[0127] 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.

[0128] The cured product of the present disclosure can be used, for example, as a resin film, specifically, a passivation film, a buffer coat film, an interlayer insulating film, a cover coat film, a surface protection film, etc.

[0129] <Electronic Component> The electronic component of the present disclosure includes the cured product of the present disclosure described above. The electronic component includes, for example, the cured product of the present disclosure as a resin film. Specific examples of the electronic component include semiconductor devices, various electronic devices, and stacked devices (such as multi-die fan-out wafer-level packages). In the electronic component, the member in contact with the cured product of the present disclosure may be made of two or more materials (for example, silicon and metal).

[0130] 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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.

[0133] 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.

[0134] Next, the 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 resin composition of the present disclosure.

[0135] 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.

The collected precipitate was washed with purified water and then dried under reduced pressure to obtain a polyimide precursor having a polymerizable unsaturated bond. The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the obtained polyimide precursor was 47,000.

[0138] The weight-average molecular weight of the polyimide precursor was calculated by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using a calibration curve based on TSKgel standard polystyrene (Tosoh Corporation). The apparatus and conditions are shown below. The measurement sample was prepared by dissolving 2 mg of 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.

[0140] (Synthesis of Unsaturated Polyimide Precursor A-3) Unsaturated Polyimide Precursor A-3 was synthesized in the same manner as Unsaturated Polyimide Precursor A-1, except that the amount of TFAA was changed to 55.5 g (264 mmol). The Mw of Unsaturated Polyimide Precursor A-3 was 30,000.

[0141] (Synthesis of Unsaturated Polyimide Precursor A-4) Unsaturated Polyimide Precursor A-4 was synthesized in the same manner as Unsaturated Polyimide Precursor A-1, except that the amount of DMAP was changed to 24.2 g (114 mmol). The Mw of Unsaturated Polyimide Precursor A-4 was 15,000.

[0142] (Synthesis of Unsaturated Polyimide Precursor A-5) Unsaturated Polyimide Precursor A-5 was synthesized in the same manner as Unsaturated Polyimide Precursor A-1, except that DMAP was changed to 22.8 g (114 mmol) of 4,4-diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA). The Mw of Unsaturated Polyimide Precursor A-5 was 34,000.

[0143] (Preparation of Resin Compositions) Resin compositions of Examples 1 to 23 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 were prepared using the components and blending amounts shown in Tables 1 and 2. Specifically, a mixture of each component was kneaded overnight at room temperature (25°C) in a typical solvent-resistant container, and then pressure filtered using a 0.2 μm pore filter to obtain a resin composition. The blending amount of each component in Tables 1 and 2 is expressed in parts by mass. Furthermore, number A and number B were determined according to the method described above, and the ratio (B / A) was calculated. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

[0144] The components in Tables 1 and 2 are as follows. GBL: γ-butyrolactone Crosslinker 1: triethylene glycol dimethacrylate Crosslinker 2: tricyclodecane dimethanol diacrylate Crosslinker 3: tris-(2-acryloxyethyl) isocyanurate Crosslinker 4: ethoxylated pentaerythritol tetraacrylate Crosslinker 5: 1,3,4,6-tetraallyl glycoluril Thermal polymerization initiator 1: dicumyl peroxide (one-minute half-life: 175°C) Thermal polymerization initiator 2: di(2-t-butylperoxyisopropyl)benzene (one-minute half-life: 175°C) Thermal polymerization initiator 3: t-butylperoxy 2-ethylhexyl monocarbonate (one-minute half-life: 161°C) Thermal polymerization initiator 4: t-hexyl peroxypivalate (one-minute half-life: 110°C) Thermal polymerization initiator 5: p-menthane hydroperoxide (one-minute half-life: 200°C) Photopolymerization initiator: 1-[4-(phenylthio)phenyl]octane-1,2-dione=2-(O-benzoyloxime) Metal chelating agent: titanium diisopropoxybis(ethylacetoacetate)

[0145] (Cure Shrinkage Evaluation) The obtained resin composition was spin-coated onto a 6-inch silicon wafer using a coating device Act8 (manufactured by Tokyo Electron Limited), dried at 100°C for 120 seconds, and then dried (pre-baked) at 110°C for 120 seconds to form a resin film with a dry film thickness of 10 μm. The rotation conditions for spin coating were a fixed rotation time of 30 seconds, and the rotation speed was adjusted so that the dry film thickness would be 10 μm. In this evaluation, the range was 1000 rpm to 3000 rpm. The obtained resin film was immersed in cyclopentanone, and the development time was set to 1.2 times the time until the resin film was completely dissolved. In addition, a resin film was prepared in the same manner as above, and the obtained resin film was irradiated with 100 mJ / cm using an i-line stepper FPA-3000iW (manufactured by Canon Inc.). 2 ~1100mJ / cm 2 i-line at 100 mJ / cm 2The resin film was exposed by irradiating it with an exposure dose in increments. The exposed resin film was paddle-developed with cyclopentanone using Act8 for the above-mentioned development time, and then rinsed with propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) to obtain a resin film. The development time was set to 1.2 times the time it took for the resin film to completely dissolve when the obtained resin film was immersed in cyclopentanone without exposure. The resin film was then heat-treated at 170°C for 2 hours to obtain a cured film. The exposure dose was 500 mJ / cm. 2 The cure shrinkage at this time was calculated using the following formula. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Cure shrinkage (%) = (1 - (film thickness after curing) / (film thickness after development)) x 100 Film thickness was measured using an optical interference film thickness measuring device (VM-2200, manufactured by SCREEN). Film thickness measurements were carried out at five random locations.

[0146] (Flatness Evaluation) Using the resin compositions of Example 15 and Comparative Example 4, flatness evaluation substrates were prepared by the following method. The obtained resin composition of Example 15 was spin-coated onto a 6-inch silicon wafer using a coating device Act8 (manufactured by Tokyo Electron Limited), dried at 100°C for 120 seconds, and then dried (pre-baked) at 110°C for 120 seconds to form a resin film with a dry film thickness of 11.5 μm. The rotation conditions for spin coating were a fixed rotation time of 30 seconds, and the rotation speed was adjusted so that the dry film thickness would be 11.5 μm. In this evaluation, the range was 1000 rpm to 2000 rpm. The obtained resin film was immersed in cyclopentanone, and the development time was set to 1.2 times the time until the resin film was completely dissolved. Furthermore, a resin film was prepared in the same manner as above, and the obtained resin film was irradiated with 500 mJ / cm using an i-line stepper FPA-3000iW (manufactured by Canon Inc.). 2The i-line was irradiated through a line and space (line 30 μm, space 10 μm) mask for exposure. The exposed resin film was paddle-developed with cyclopentanone using Act8 for the above-mentioned development time, and then rinsed with propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) to obtain a line and space (line 30 μm, space 10 μm) patterned resin film. The patterned resin film was then heat-treated at 170°C for 2 hours to obtain a cured film. Platinum was vapor-deposited on the surface of this cured film using a magnetron sputtering apparatus (MSP8in) manufactured by Vacuum Device Co., Ltd. (vapor deposition conditions: pressure inside the apparatus: 1 Pa, discharge current: 200 mA). The resin composition of Example 15 or Comparative Example 4 was spin-coated onto the cured film after platinum deposition using a coating device Act8 (manufactured by Tokyo Electron Limited), dried at 100°C for 120 seconds, and then dried (pre-baked) at 110°C for 120 seconds to form a resin film with a dry thickness of 9.0 μm to 11.5 μm. The entire surface of this cured film was exposed to 500 mJ of light using an MA-8 manufactured by SUSS MicroTec without a mask. The exposed cured film was then heat-treated at 170°C for 2 hours to obtain a cured film. The amount of depressions in the cured film formed on the lines and spaces of the obtained cured film was measured by observing the cross section of the sample using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) device (SU3500) manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Corporation (SEM acceleration voltage: 5.0 kV, imaging magnification: 2500x). FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional SEM photograph of a flatness evaluation substrate produced using the resin composition of Example 15, and FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional SEM photograph of a flatness evaluation substrate produced using the resin composition of Comparative Example 4. In the flatness evaluation substrate produced using the resin composition of Example 15, the thickness of the resin film measured from the surface of the substrate at the location where a 10 μm wide groove was provided was 16.4 μm. The depth of the recess in the resin film was 1.6 μm. In the flatness evaluation substrate produced using the resin composition of Comparative Example 4, the thickness of the resin film measured from the surface of the substrate at the location where a 10 μm wide groove was provided was 14.6 μm. The depth of the recess in the resin film was 3.4 μm. The smaller the depth of the recess in the resin film, the more preferable.

[0147]

[0148]

[0149] The depth of the recesses in the resin film for the resin composition of Example 15, which had a cure shrinkage rate of 8%, was 1.6 μm, indicating excellent flatness. From this, it can be inferred that the resin compositions of other Examples, which had a cure shrinkage rate of 17% or less, also had excellent flatness of the resin film. On the other hand, the depth of the recesses in the resin film for the resin composition of Comparative Example 4, which had a cure shrinkage rate of 25%, was 3.4 μm, indicating poor flatness. From this, it can be inferred that the resin compositions of other Comparative Examples, which had a cure shrinkage rate of more than 17%, also had poor flatness of the resin film.
