Description

Resin composition, cured product, laminate, method for producing cured product, method for producing laminate, method for producing semiconductor device, semiconductor device, method for synthesizing polyimide precursor, and polyimide precursor

[0001] The present invention relates to a resin composition, a cured product, a laminate, a method for producing a cured product, a method for producing a laminate, a method for producing a semiconductor device, a semiconductor device, a method for synthesizing a polyimide precursor, and a polyimide precursor.

[0002] Nowadays, resin materials produced from resin compositions containing resins are being utilized in various fields. For example, heterocycle-containing polymers such as polyimides have excellent heat resistance and insulating properties and are therefore used in a variety of applications. Examples of such applications include, but are not limited to, insulating films, encapsulants, or protective films for semiconductor devices used for packaging. They are also used as base films or coverlays for flexible substrates.

[0003] For example, in the above-mentioned applications, polyimide is used in the form of a resin composition containing a polyimide precursor. Such a resin composition is applied to a substrate, for example, by coating or the like to form a photosensitive film, and then, as necessary, exposure, development, heating, etc. are performed to form a cured product on the substrate. Since the resin composition can be applied by a known coating method, for example, it can be said to have excellent manufacturing adaptability, such as a high degree of design freedom in the shape, size, application position, etc. of the applied resin composition. In addition to the high performance of heterocycle-containing polymers such as polyimides, from the viewpoint of such excellent manufacturing adaptability, the industrial application development of the above-mentioned resin composition is increasingly expected.

[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 describes a negative photosensitive resin composition containing (A) a polyimide precursor; (B) an active esterifying agent; and (C) a photopolymerization initiator.

[0012] A resin composition according to a second aspect of the present invention (hereinafter, also simply referred to as a "second resin composition") comprises a polyimide precursor obtained by a method for synthesizing a polyimide precursor, which is a copolymer comprising a block formed by a repeating unit represented by formula (1-1) and a block formed by a repeating unit represented by formula (1-2), the method comprising: synthesizing a first block monomer by amidating a first carboxylic acid dianhydride or a compound derived therefrom with a first diamine; synthesizing a second block monomer by amidating a second carboxylic acid dianhydride or a compound derived therefrom with a second diamine; and bonding the first block monomer and the second block monomer. Hereinafter, a polyimide precursor obtained by the above-described method for synthesizing a polyimide precursor, which is a copolymer comprising a block formed by a repeating unit represented by formula (1-1) and a block formed by a repeating unit represented by formula (1-2), is also referred to as a "second specific resin." In this specification, a resin composition corresponding to at least one of the first resin composition and the second resin composition is also simply referred to as a "resin composition." Also, a resin corresponding to at least one of the first specific resin and the second specific resin is also simply referred to as a "specific resin."

[0013] The resin composition of the present invention is preferably used to form a photosensitive film that is subjected to exposure and development, and more preferably to form a film that is subjected to exposure and development using a developer containing an organic solvent. The resin composition of the present invention can be used, for example, to form an insulating film for a semiconductor device, an interlayer insulating film for a redistribution layer, a stress buffer film, etc., and is preferably used to form an interlayer insulating film for a redistribution layer. Furthermore, the resin composition of the present invention is preferably used to form a photosensitive film that is subjected to negative development. In the present invention, negative development refers to development in which non-exposed areas are removed by development in exposure and development, and positive development refers to development in which exposed areas are removed by development. As the exposure method, the developer, and the development method, for example, the exposure method described in the exposure step and the developer and development method described in the development step in the description of the method for producing a cured product described below can be used.

[0014] The resin composition of the present invention provides a cured product with a low coefficient of thermal expansion. The mechanism by which this effect is achieved is unknown, but is presumed to be as follows.

[0015] Conventionally, studies have been conducted on anhydride-derived structures, diamine-derived structures, etc. in polyimide precursors, for example, by converting the polyimide precursor into a copolymer, thereby improving the mechanical properties, electrical properties, etc. of the polyimide obtained after curing. The present inventors have discovered that the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the resulting cured product can be reduced by using a polyimide precursor that is a copolymer containing a block formed by a repeating unit represented by formula (1-1) and a block formed by a repeating unit represented by formula (1-2). The mechanism by which this effect is achieved is unclear, but is presumed to be as follows. The polyimide precursor becomes a polyimide in the cured product, and it is believed that orientation of the polyimides due to interaction between them is important in reducing the CTE. Here, it is believed that the cured product obtained from the resin composition of the present invention containing a polyimide precursor that is a copolymer containing blocks as described above has a reduced CTE due to the increased likelihood of interaction between the polyimides in the cured product. In particular, the X in formula (1-1) 1 In the case where the structure itself has a high degree of orientation, such as being any of the structures represented by formula (2a) to formula (2e) or a structure obtained by removing two or more hydrogen atoms from a structure represented by the following formula (2f), the inclusion of this structure as a block further promotes the orientation of polyimides in the cured product, resulting in a significant effect of reducing the CTE. 1 is any of the structures represented by formula (2a) to formula (2e), or is a structure in which two or more hydrogen atoms have been removed from the structure represented by formula (2f), and X in formula (1-2) 2 is a structure in which two or more hydrogen atoms have been removed from any of the structures represented by formulas (V-1) to (V-4), the CTE is thought to be further reduced. This is thought to be because the highly oriented repeating units represented by formula (1-1) are linked by the relatively soft structure represented by formula (1-2), which further increases the degree of freedom in resin movement and makes orientation easier. Furthermore, as described above, it is thought that the resin is more likely to be oriented in the cured product, which also increases the glass transition temperature of the cured product.

[0016] It is also possible to use a polyimide precursor containing a repeating unit represented by formula (1-1) in combination with a polyimide precursor containing a repeating unit represented by formula (1-2) instead of a copolymer. However, two types of resins with different resin structures may have low compatibility, and the separation of the resins may become the starting point of breakage. Since the specific resin is a copolymer, it is thought that the problem of separation between the resins is unlikely to occur and that the elongation at break is also excellent. In addition, in the present invention, just as interactions between polyimides in the cured product are likely to occur as described above, interactions between the specific resins themselves are also likely to occur. Therefore, the solvent solubility of the film after exposure is appropriately reduced, and swelling of the film after exposure during development is suppressed. Therefore, when the resin composition of the present invention is a photosensitive resin composition containing a photopolymerization initiator and subjected to exposure development, it is thought that the resolution is also excellent.

[0017] However, Patent Document 1 does not describe a resin composition containing a specific resin.

[0018] The components contained in the resin composition of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0019] <Specific Resin> The first resin composition of the present invention contains a polyimide precursor (first specific resin) that is a copolymer containing a block formed by a repeating unit represented by formula (1-1) and a block formed by a repeating unit represented by formula (1-2). The second resin composition of the present invention contains a polyimide precursor (second specific resin) obtained by the method for synthesizing a polyimide precursor of the present invention described below.

[0020] A polyimide precursor refers to a resin whose chemical structure changes upon external stimulation to become a polyimide.

Furthermore, when the polyimide is a linear resin, the polyimide is preferably a resin having a repeating unit containing an imide group in the main chain, and more preferably a resin having a repeating unit containing an imide ring structure in the main chain. In this specification, the term "main chain" refers to the relatively longest bonding chain in the resin molecule, and the term "side chain" refers to any other bonding chain. In this specification, the term "imide group" refers to a structure represented by *-C(=O)N(-*)C(=O)-*, where * represents a bonding site to another structure, preferably a bonding site to a carbon atom, and more preferably a bonding site to a quaternary carbon atom.

Furthermore, the specific resin may have a polarity conversion group such as an acid-decomposable group. When the specific resin has an acid-decomposable group, the resin composition preferably contains a photoacid generator. From such a resin composition, for example, a chemically amplified positive-type photosensitive film or a negative-type photosensitive film is formed.

[0022] [Formula (1-1)] The specific resin contains a block formed from a repeating unit represented by formula (1-1).

The resin is dissolved in γ-butyrolactone, diluted to a viscosity of 2,000 mPa·s, and applied to a silicon wafer by spin coating to form a resin layer. If a resin layer cannot be formed due to reasons such as low solubility of the resin in γ-butyrolactone, the solvent may be changed to another solvent. Examples of such solvents include solvents contained in the resin composition, such as NMP. The viscosity may also be adjusted as appropriate within an adjustable range. The silicon wafer to which the resulting resin layer is applied is dried on a hot plate at 110°C for 5 minutes to obtain a resin layer on the silicon wafer with a uniform thickness of approximately 15 μm after film formation. Here, if only a resin solution with a low viscosity is obtained and it is difficult to obtain a resin layer with a thickness of 15 μm, the film thickness may be adjusted as appropriate. For example, if the film thickness is 5 μm or greater, a similar imidization rate value can be obtained. The resin layer was measured by the ATR method using NicoletiS20 (manufactured by Thermofisher) in the measurement range of 4000 to 700 cm -1 , the measurement is performed 50 times. -1 Around (1350-1450 cm -1 (If there are multiple peaks, the peak with the greatest intensity) and 1500 cm -1 Around (1460-1550 cm -1 The imidization index A of the resin is calculated by dividing the imidization index B by the peak height of the peak (or the peak with the greatest intensity if there are multiple peaks) in a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 10°C / min and heated at 350°C for 1 hour. The imidization index B is calculated in the same manner for a film that has been heated at a heating rate of 10°C / min under a nitrogen atmosphere and heated at 350°C for 1 hour. The imidization index A is then divided by the imidization index B to calculate the imidization rate of the resin. In measuring the imidization rate, the resin whose imidization rate is to be measured can be obtained from the composition by, for example, the following method. A solution of 1 g of the composition and 2 g of tetrahydrofuran is added to 50 g of methanol or water to cause crystallization, and the resin is precipitated and filtered. The residue is recovered and dissolved in 3.0 g of THF (tetrahydrofuran), and this is added to 50 g of methanol or water to cause crystallization. The solution is filtered and dried at 40°C for 20 hours to obtain a resin.

There is no particular upper limit for the molecular weight dispersity of the specific resin, but, for example, it is preferably 7.0 or less, more preferably 6.5 or less, and even more preferably 6.0 or less. In this specification, the molecular weight dispersity is a value calculated by dividing the weight average molecular weight by the number average molecular weight. When the resin composition contains multiple specific resins, it is preferable that the weight-average molecular weight, number-average molecular weight, and dispersity of at least one specific resin are within the above-mentioned ranges. It is also preferable that the weight-average molecular weight, number-average molecular weight, and dispersity calculated by treating the multiple specific resins as one resin are each within the above-mentioned ranges.

However, the method for producing the specific resin is not limited thereto, and a resin synthesized by another known method may also be used as the specific resin.

Among the above production methods, a method in which a diester is obtained from a tetracarboxylic dianhydride and an alcohol, and then the remaining dicarboxylic acid is acid-halogenated with a halogenating agent and reacted with a diamine is more preferred.

The laminate is a laminate including two or more layers each made of the cured product, and may be a laminate including three or more layers. At least one of the two or more layers each made of the cured product contained in the laminate is a layer made of the cured product of the present invention, and from the viewpoint of suppressing shrinkage of the cured product or deformation of the cured product associated with the shrinkage, it is also preferable that all of the layers made of the cured product contained in the laminate are layers made of the cured product of the present invention.

[0240] That is, the method for producing a laminate of the present invention preferably includes the method for producing a cured product of the present invention, and more preferably includes repeating the method for producing a cured product of the present invention multiple times.

[0241] The laminate of the present invention preferably includes two or more layers made of a cured product and a metal layer between any of the layers made of the cured product. The metal layer is preferably formed by the metal layer-forming step. That is, the method for producing a laminate of the present invention preferably further includes a metal layer-forming step of forming a metal layer on a layer made of a cured product between multiple cured product production processes. A preferred embodiment of the metal layer-forming step is as described above. Examples of the laminate include a laminate having at least a layer structure in which three layers are stacked in this order: a layer made of a first cured product, a metal layer, and a layer made of a second cured product. It is preferred that both the layer made of the first cured product and the layer made of the second cured product are layers made of the cured product of the present invention. The resin composition of the present invention used to form the layer made of the first cured product and the resin composition of the present invention used to form the layer made of the second cured product may have the same composition or different compositions. The metal layer in the laminate of the present invention is preferably used as metal wiring, such as a rewiring layer.

[0242] <Lamination Step> The method for producing a laminate of the present invention preferably includes a lamination step. The lamination step is a series of steps including performing at least one of (a) a film formation step (layer formation step), (b) an exposure step, (c) a development step, and (d) a heating step and a post-development exposure step again on the surface of the pattern (resin layer) or the metal layer in this order. However, at least one of (a) the film formation step and (d) the heating step and the post-development exposure step may be repeated. Furthermore, after at least one of (d) the heating step and the post-development exposure step, (e) a metal layer formation step may be included. It goes without saying that the lamination step may further include the above-mentioned drying step or the like as appropriate.

[0243] 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.

[0244] 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.

[0245] In the present invention, a particularly preferred embodiment is one in which, after providing a metal layer, a cured product (resin layer) of the resin composition of the present invention is further formed so as to cover the metal layer.Specific examples include an embodiment in which the steps of (a) film formation step, (b) exposure step, (c) development step, (d) at least one of a heating step and a post-development exposure step, and (e) metal layer formation step are repeated in this order, or an embodiment in which the steps of (a) film formation step, (d) at least one of a heating step and a post-development exposure step, and (e) metal layer formation step are repeated in this order.By alternately performing the lamination step of laminating the resin composition layer (resin layer) of the present invention and the metal layer formation step, the resin composition layer (resin layer) of the present invention and the metal layer can be alternately laminated.

[0246] (Surface Activation Treatment Step) The method for producing a laminate of the present invention preferably includes a surface activation treatment step in which at least a portion of the metal layer and the resin composition layer are surface-activated. The surface activation treatment step is usually performed after the metal layer formation step, but after the development step (preferably after at least one of the heating step and the post-development exposure step), the resin composition layer may be subjected to a surface activation treatment step 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 resin composition layer after exposure, or may be performed on at least a portion of both the metal layer and the resin composition layer after exposure. The surface activation treatment is preferably performed on at least a portion of the metal layer, and more preferably on part or all of the region of the metal layer on which the resin composition layer is to be formed. In this way, by performing a surface activation treatment on the surface of the metal layer, adhesion with the resin composition layer (film) provided on its surface can be improved. The surface activation treatment is also preferably performed on part or all of the resin composition layer (resin layer) after exposure. In this way, by performing a surface activation treatment on the surface of the resin composition layer, it is possible to improve adhesion with the metal layer or resin layer provided on the surface that has been surface-activated. In particular, when negative development is performed, for example, when the resin composition layer is cured, it is less susceptible to damage due to 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 WO 2021 / 112189. The contents of this specification are incorporated herein.

[0283] <Evaluation> [Evaluation of CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion)] The resin composition or comparative composition prepared in each Example and Comparative Example was applied in the form of a layer on a copper substrate by spin coating, to form a resin composition layer or comparative composition layer. The copper substrate on which the resulting resin composition layer or comparative composition layer was formed was dried on a hot plate at 100°C for 5 minutes, to form a resin composition layer or comparative composition layer with a uniform thickness of 10 µm on the copper substrate. In examples marked "M" in the exposure conditions column, the resin composition layer or comparative composition layer on the copper substrate was exposed to 500 mJ / cm using a mask with a dumbbell-shaped exposed portion formed thereon and a stepper as a light source. 2The sample was exposed to light having an exposure wavelength (nm) as shown in the "Exposure Wavelength (nm)" column of the table, with an exposure energy of 100 sq. m / s. The dumbbell shape was a dumbbell No. 7 as described in JIS K 6251:2017. In examples marked "D" in the "Exposure Conditions" column, a direct exposure device (Adtec DE-6UH III) was used as the light source, and laser direct imaging exposure was performed on the dumbbell-shaped area without using a photomask. The resulting layer was then developed with cyclopentanone for 60 seconds and rinsed with PGMEA to obtain a resin layer. In examples marked with a numerical value in the "Cure Temperature" column, the exposed resin composition layer was heated at a rate of 10°C / min under a nitrogen atmosphere using a hot plate. After reaching the temperature listed in the "Cure Temperature (°C)" column of the table, the temperature was maintained for the "Cure Time (min)" period in the table to obtain a cured product. In examples where "IR" is listed in the "Cure Temperature (°C)" column, the resin film obtained in each example was heated in a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 10°C / min using an infrared lamp heating device (RTP-6, manufactured by Advance Riko Co., Ltd.). After reaching 230°C, the temperature was maintained for the "Cure Time (min)" period shown in the table to obtain a cured product. The cured resin layer (cured product) was immersed in a 4.9% by mass aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid, and a dumbbell-shaped cured product (test piece) was peeled off from the silicon wafer (sample width: 2 mm, sample length: 35 mm). The CTE of the test piece prepared above was measured at 25°C to 125°C using a TMA450 (TA Instruments). The heating and cooling conditions for evaluation were as follows (1) to (4): (1) The temperature was raised from room temperature to 130°C at a heating rate of 5°C / min. (2) The temperature was lowered from 130°C to 10°C at a rate of 5°C / min. (3) The temperature was raised from 10°C to 300°C at a rate of 5°C / min. (4) The sample was allowed to cool naturally to room temperature. The elongation (displacement) of the sample was measured during the temperature increase and decrease processes (1) to (4) above, and the elongation (displacement) of the sample at 25°C and 125°C in process (3) was divided by the temperature to calculate the thermal expansion coefficient. (For example, if the length of the sample at 25°C was 50 mm and the length of the sample at 125°C was 50.2 mm, the displacement was calculated as 0.4% = 4000 ppm, and the thermal expansion coefficient was calculated as 4000 / (125-25) = 40 ppm / °C.) The obtained thermal expansion coefficient was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria, and the evaluation results are shown in the "CTE" column of the table. -Evaluation criteria- A: The thermal expansion coefficient was less than 40 ppm / °C. B: The thermal expansion coefficient was 40 ppm / °C or more and less than 50 ppm / °C. C: The thermal expansion coefficient was 50 ppm / °C or more and less than 60 ppm / °C. D: The thermal expansion coefficient was 60 ppm / °C or more.

[0284] [Evaluation of Elongation at Break] In each Example and Comparative Example, a cured product was obtained in the same manner as in the "Evaluation of CTE" above, except that the photomask or laser direct imaging exposure range was set so that the exposed area was a rectangular region 3 mm wide and 30 mm long. The cured resin composition layer (cured product) was immersed in a 4.9% by mass aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid, and the cured product was peeled off from the silicon wafer. The longitudinal elongation of the peeled cured product (a test piece having a sample width of 3 mm and a sample length of 30 mm) was measured using a tensile tester (Tensilon) at a crosshead speed of 300 mm / min, 25°C, and 65% RH (relative humidity) in accordance with JIS K 6251:2017. Each measurement was performed five times, and the arithmetic mean value of the elongation at break (elongation at break) of the test piece from the five measurements was used as the index value. Evaluation was performed according to the following evaluation criteria, and the evaluation results are shown in the "Elongation at Break" column in the table. The higher the index value, the better the film strength of the cured product. -Evaluation criteria- A: The index value was 65% or more. B: The index value was 55% or more and less than 65%. C: The index value was less than 55%.

[0285] [Evaluation of Glass Transition Temperature] The Tg of the test pieces prepared in the "Evaluation of Elongation at Break" section above was measured using a DMA850 (TA Instruments). Specifically, the glass transition temperature was measured by changing the temperature conditions of the cured product in the following order (1) to (2). (1) The temperature was increased from 25°C to 350°C at a rate of 5°C / min. (2) The temperature was cooled from 350°C to 25°C. The obtained Tg was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. -Evaluation criteria- A: The glass transition temperature was 230°C or higher. B: The glass transition temperature was 180°C or higher but less than 230°C. C: The glass transition temperature was less than 180°C.

[0286] From the above results, it can be seen that the resin composition of the present invention can produce a cured product with a low coefficient of thermal expansion. The comparative composition of Comparative Example 1 does not contain the specific resin. It can be seen that the cured product formed from such a comparative composition has a high coefficient of thermal expansion.

[0287] Example 201 The resin composition used in Example 1 was applied in the form of a layer by spin coating to the surface of the thin copper layer of a resin substrate having a thin copper layer formed on its surface. The resulting layer was dried at 100°C for 5 minutes to form a 20 μm-thick photosensitive film, which was then exposed using a stepper (Nikon Corporation, NSR1505 i6). The exposure was performed at a wavelength of 365 nm through a mask (a binary mask with a 1:1 line-and-space pattern and a line width of 10 μm). After the exposure, the film was developed with cyclopentanone for 2 minutes and rinsed with PGMEA for 30 seconds to obtain a layer pattern. The temperature was then increased at a rate of 10°C / min in a nitrogen atmosphere until it reached 230°C, at which point it was maintained at 230°C for 180 minutes to form an interlayer insulating film for a redistribution layer. This interlayer insulating film for a redistribution layer had excellent insulating properties. Furthermore, a semiconductor device was manufactured using this interlayer insulating film for a redistribution layer, and it was confirmed to operate without any problems.
