[0006] Organic insulating films formed from resin materials are expected to be advantageous compared to inorganic insulating films in terms of reducing the influence of debris, etc. Resin films used as organic insulating films are sometimes formed by methods including a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process for planarization, etc. Resin films can generally be polished at an appropriate polishing rate by CMP using an abrasive containing alumina particles as abrasive grains. However, the surface of a resin film polished by CMP using an abrasive containing alumina particles tends to have a large surface roughness.

[0009] A method for polishing a resin film can be provided that can polish a resin film at an appropriate polishing rate and form a surface having sufficiently small surface roughness.

[0010] 1A and 1B are process diagrams showing an example of a method for manufacturing a circuit-connected body; 2A and 2B are process diagrams showing an example of a method for manufacturing a circuit-connected body; 3A and 3B are process diagrams showing an example of a method for manufacturing a circuit-connected body;

[0011] The present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0012] One example of a method for polishing a resin film includes semi-curing a thermosetting resin film containing a maleimide compound having a maleimide group by heat treatment, and polishing the semi-cured resin film by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) while supplying an abrasive containing silica particles. The semi-cured resin film can be polished at a high polishing rate by CMP using an abrasive containing silica particles, and the surface of the polished resin film can have a sufficiently small surface roughness.

[0013] The thermosetting resin film can be formed, for example, by applying a curable resin composition containing a maleimide compound. The applied curable resin composition may contain a solvent. When a solvent-containing curable resin composition is used, the applied curable resin composition is heated to remove the solvent, thereby forming a resin film. The heating temperature for removing the solvent may be, for example, 60°C or higher and 150°C or lower. The resin film before heat treatment and the curable resin composition may further contain a reactive component that reacts with the maleimide compound. Details of the curable resin composition for forming the resin film will be described later. The thickness of the resin film may be, for example, 1 μm or higher and 100 μm or lower.

[0014] The formed resin film is subjected to heat treatment. The heat treatment conditions are adjusted so that the resin film is semi-cured without being completely cured. A resin film formed from a curable resin composition containing a maleimide compound can be easily semi-cured by adjusting heating conditions such as temperature and time. The heat treatment conditions are adjusted, for example, within the range of a temperature of 100°C or higher and 220°C or lower, or 120°C or higher and 180°C or lower, and a heating time of 10 minutes or higher and 120 minutes or lower.

[0015] The semi-curing of a resin film can be confirmed, for example, by observing heat generation due to curing in a DSC thermogram obtained by differential scanning calorimetry of a resin film sample. In the case of a completely cured resin film or curable resin composition, heat generation due to curing is not substantially observed. For example, a resin film showing a cure rate of more than 0% and less than 100% can be considered to be a semi-cured resin film. The cure rate can be determined by differential scanning calorimetry. In this case, the cure rate can be calculated using the formula: Cure rate [%] = 100 - (Q 1 / Q 0 ) × 100. 0 is the heat generation amount [J / g] due to the curing reaction in the resin film before heat treatment, and Q 1 is the amount of heat generated by the curing reaction in the resin film after heat treatment [J / g]. 0 and Q 1 can be determined from the area of ​​the exothermic peak in a DSC thermogram obtained by differential scanning calorimetry at a heating rate of 10° C. / min and the mass of the measurement sample. The cure rate of the resin film semi-cured by heat treatment may be 90% or less, 85% or less, or 80% or less, or may be 10% or more, 10% or more, 20% or more, 30% or more, 40% or more, 50% or more, 55% or more, or 60% or more.

[0016] The abrasive for CMP contains silica particles as abrasive grains. The silica particles may be colloidal silica. Other CMP conditions can be adjusted within the range of normal conditions. For example, the resin film can be polished by pressing the resin film against a rotating polishing pad while supplying the abrasive onto the pad. By polishing the semi-cured resin film, a portion of the resin film is removed from the surface at a sufficiently high polishing rate, forming a surface with low surface roughness. The polishing time may be, for example, 10 seconds or more and 600 seconds or less.

[0017] A resin film may be provided so as to cover the electrodes. In this case, the resin film may be polished by chemical mechanical polishing to remove a portion of the resin film so as to expose the electrodes. By polishing the resin film, a flat surface including the resin film and the electrodes may be formed. However, a step may be formed between the resin film and the electrodes.

[0018] The polished resin film may be further hardened by heating. After the resin film is bonded to another member or subjected to other processing, it may be heated again to further harden. The heating temperature for the second heating may be, for example, 220°C or higher and 350°C or lower. The hardening rate of the resin film after the second heating may be, for example, 90% or higher and 100% or lower.

[0019] The above-exemplified methods for polishing a resin film can be applied, for example, to the manufacture of a circuit connection body having a resin film as an insulating film, or to the formation of a rewiring layer having a resin film as an insulating film.

[0020] 1, 2, and 3 are process diagrams illustrating an example of a method for manufacturing a circuit connection body. The method illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3 includes preparing a first circuit member 10 having a first substrate 11, a first electrode 12, and a first insulating film 13; preparing a second circuit member 20 having a second substrate 21, a second electrode 22, and a second insulating film 23; and joining the first circuit member 10 and the second circuit member 20 by hybrid bonding so that the first electrode 12 and the second electrode 22 are electrically connected. This method forms a circuit connection body 1, which is a bonded assembly of the first circuit member 10 and the second circuit member 20. In hybrid bonding, for example, the first circuit member 10 and the second circuit member 20 are heated and pressurized, thereby bonding the first circuit member 10 and the second circuit member 20 so that the first insulating film 13 and the second insulating film 23 are bonded and the first electrode 12 and the second electrode 22 are bonded.

[0021] At least one of the first substrate 11 or the second substrate 21 may be a semiconductor substrate having a circuit surface. In this case, a semiconductor device is obtained as the circuit-connected body 1. Typically, an integrated circuit is provided on the circuit surface side of the semiconductor substrate. For example, the first substrate 11 may be a semiconductor wafer, and the second substrate 21 may be a semiconductor chip. A plurality of second circuit members 20 having semiconductor chips may be bonded to a single first circuit member 10 having a semiconductor wafer. In this case, the semiconductor wafer (first substrate 11) of the obtained circuit-connected body may be singulated into a plurality of semiconductor chips. The semiconductor substrate may be, for example, a silicon substrate. When the first circuit member 10 or the second circuit member 20 is not a semiconductor substrate, they may be various types of wiring substrates (e.g., interposers).

[0022] The first circuit member 10 has a plurality of first electrodes 12, and a first insulating film 13 is provided around the first electrodes 12 and includes a portion filling the gaps between the plurality of first electrodes 12. The first electrodes 12 and the first insulating film 13 are provided on a first substrate 11. When the first substrate 11 is a semiconductor substrate having a circuit surface, the first electrodes 12 and the first insulating film 13 are provided on the circuit surface. The first insulating film 13 forms a plurality of openings 13a which are through holes exposing the first substrate 11, and the first electrodes 12 are provided in the openings 13a.

[0023] The second circuit member 20 has a plurality of second electrodes 22, and the second insulating film 23 is provided around the second electrodes 22 and includes a portion that fills the gaps between the plurality of second electrodes 22. The second electrodes 22 and the second insulating film 23 are provided on a second substrate 21. When the second substrate 21 is a semiconductor substrate, the second electrodes 22 and the second insulating film 23 are provided on the circuit surface. The second insulating film 23 forms a plurality of openings 23a that are through holes that expose the second substrate 21, and the second electrodes 22 are provided in the openings 23a.

[0024] The first circuit member 10 is prepared by a method including providing a first electrode 12 on a main surface 11S of a first substrate as shown in FIG. 1(a), forming a thermosetting first resin film 13A on the main surface 11S of the first substrate 11 on the side of the first electrode 12 as shown in FIG. 1(b), semi-curing the first resin film 13A by heat treatment as shown in FIG. 1(c), and exposing the first electrode 12 by polishing the first insulating film 13, which is the semi-cured first resin film 13A, as shown in FIG. 2(a).

[0025] The first electrode 12 is made of a conductive material containing a metal such as copper. The first electrode 12 containing a metal can be formed by a common method such as plating.

[0026] The first resin film 13A covering the first electrode 12, including the portion surrounding the first electrode 12, can be formed by applying a curable resin composition containing a maleimide compound. When a solvent-containing curable resin composition is used, the first resin film 13A can be formed by heating the applied curable resin composition to remove the solvent. The heating temperature for removing the solvent may be, for example, 60°C or higher and 150°C or lower. The first resin film 13A may be formed to cover the entire first electrode 12 while filling the gaps between the multiple first electrodes 12. By heat treating the formed first resin film 13A, the first resin film 13A is semi-cured to form the first insulating film 13. The first insulating film 13 before polishing contains a semi-cured curable resin composition. The curing rate of the first insulating film 13 containing the semi-cured curable resin composition may be within the same range as the curing rate of the semi-cured resin film.

[0027] The curing reaction of the first resin film 13A formed from the curable resin composition containing a maleimide compound is primarily an addition reaction such as radical polymerization and Diels-Alder reaction, and therefore is unlikely to generate volatiles due to elimination components. Furthermore, the surface of the first insulating film 13 formed from the curable resin composition containing a maleimide compound may contain many functional groups derived from maleimide groups, etc. Therefore, the first insulating film 13 may exhibit good adhesion without necessarily requiring an activation treatment such as plasma treatment. Additionally, the polishing rate of the first insulating film 13 may be adjustable based on the crosslink density, etc., of the first insulating film 13.

[0028] The conditions for the heat treatment of the first resin film 13A to form the first insulating film 13 are adjusted so that the first resin film 13A is semi-cured. For example, the heat treatment temperature may be 100° C. or higher and 220° C. or lower, or 120° C. or higher and 180° C. or lower. The heat treatment time may be, for example, 10 minutes or higher and 120 minutes or lower.

[0029] The first insulating film 13 (semi-cured first resin film) is polished by CMP using an abrasive containing silica particles. By polishing, a portion of the first insulating film 13 is removed from the side opposite the first substrate 11, forming an opening 13a through which the first electrode 12 is exposed. The surface of the tip of the first electrode 12 (the surface opposite the first substrate 11) may be flattened by polishing. Depending on the polishing rate, the height of the first electrode 12 may be greater than the thickness of the first insulating film 13 in the polished first circuit member 10. The difference between the height of the first electrode 12 and the thickness of the first insulating film 13 may be adjusted taking into account the difference in the linear thermal expansion coefficients of the first electrode 12 and the first insulating film 13, for example. The difference between the height of the first electrode 12 and the thickness of the first insulating film 13 may be, for example, 10 nm or more and 200 nm or less. The thickness of the first insulating film 13 may be, for example, 1 μm or more and 100 μm or less.

[0030] The second insulating film 23 of the second circuit member 20 can be an organic insulating film or an inorganic insulating film. When the second insulating film 23 is an organic insulating film, the second circuit member can be prepared in the same manner as the first circuit member 10, including heat treating the second resin film containing a curable resin composition and polishing the second insulating film. When both the first insulating film 13 and the second insulating film 23 are organic insulating films formed from a curable resin composition containing a maleimide compound, particularly good bonding properties are likely to be exhibited. The first insulating film 13 and the second insulating film 23 can be formed from the second resin film using the same or different curable resin compositions.

[0031] The shapes of the first electrode 12 and the second electrode 22 are not particularly limited, but some or all of these electrodes are arranged so that the first electrode 12 and the second electrode 22 face each other and are bonded to each other. The widths of the first electrode 12 and the second electrode 22 may be, for example, 1 μm or more or 100 μm or more, and 300 μm or less or 30 μm or less. Here, width refers to the maximum width of each electrode in a direction parallel to the main surface (circuit surface) of the first substrate 11 or the second substrate 21. The spacing between adjacent first electrodes 12 and adjacent second electrodes 22 may be, for example, 1 μm or more or 100 μm or more, and 300 μm or less or 30 μm or less. The heights of the first electrodes 12 and the second electrodes 22 may be, for example, 1 μm or more or 10 μm or more, and 100 μm or less or 10 μm or less. The height of the first electrode 12 may be the same as or different from the thickness of the first insulating film 13. The height of the second electrode 22 may be the same as or different from the thickness of the second insulating film 23.

[0032] From the viewpoint of bonding between electrodes, the surface of the tip of the first electrode 12 may have a surface roughness Ra of 1 nm or less. The surface of the tip of the second electrode 22 may also have a similar surface roughness Ra. The surface roughness Ra here is the arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) defined in JIS B 0601-2001.

[0033] 2(e), the prepared first circuit member 10 and second circuit member 20 are aligned so that the first electrode 12 and second electrode 22 to be bonded face each other. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the first circuit member 10 and second circuit member 20 are heated and pressurized to bond the first electrode 12 and second electrode 22 and to bond the first insulating film 13 and second insulating film 23 together by hybrid bonding.

[0034] The bonding of the first electrode 12 and the second electrode 22 and the bonding of the first insulating film 13 and the second insulating film 23 may proceed simultaneously or sequentially. For example, after heating and pressurizing mainly for bonding the first insulating film 13 and the second insulating film 23, the first circuit member 10 and the second circuit member 20 may be further heated and pressurized to bond the first electrode 12 and the second electrode 22. The first insulating film 13 and / or the second insulating film 23 may be further cured during the heating and pressurizing for bonding the first circuit member 10 and the second circuit member 20. The first insulating film 13 and / or the second insulating film 23 may be further cured by heating after bonding.

[0035] The conditions for heating and pressing for bonding are adjusted so that the insulating film and the electrode are properly bonded. For example, the heating temperature for bonding may be 150° C. or higher and 350° C. or lower, and the pressure for bonding may be 1.0 MPa or higher and 5.0 MPa or lower. The heating and pressing time may be, for example, 10 seconds or higher and 2 hours or lower.

[0036] In the above-exemplified methods, the curable resin composition used to form the resin film (first insulating film 13 and / or second insulating film 23) contains one or more maleimide compounds. The maleimide compound is a compound having one or more maleimide groups. From the viewpoints of heat resistance and a reduced thermal expansion coefficient of the insulating film, the curable resin composition may contain a maleimide compound having two or more maleimide groups.

[0037] The maleimide compound may have a maleimide group containing a nitrogen atom directly bonded to a cyclic group (e.g., an aromatic group). For example, the maleimide compound may include a compound represented by the following formula (Ia), (Ib), or (Ic):

[0038] In formula (Ia), Q 1 and Q 2 each independently represents a cyclic group which may have a substituent, and L 5 is a divalent organic group or a single bond. 1 and Q 2 may each independently be an aromatic group (e.g., a phenylene group) which may have a substituent (e.g., an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms). 5 may be a group containing one or more cyclic groups (excluding a maleimide group) selected from a monocyclic ring, a fused ring, a non-fused bridged ring, and a spiro ring, which may have a substituent, an alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms which may have a substituent (for example, a methylene group, a propane-1,3-diyl group, or a propane-2,2-diyl group), or a single bond. 5 may have two or more cyclic groups and a single bond or a divalent organic group (for example, an optionally substituted methylene group, or an optionally substituted propane-2,2-diyl group) connecting the two or more cyclic groups. 5 is a cyclic group and Q 1 or Q 2 and may further have a methylene group connecting L 5 However, L in formula (11) may have a cyclic group formed by removing one or more hydrogen atoms from benzene, 2,3-dihydro-1H-indene, or succinimide. Examples of the maleimide compound represented by formula (Ia) include a compound represented by formula (11) below. 5 is L in formula (Ia) 5 is defined in the same way as R 31 is an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and p and q are each independently an integer of 0 to 4. 31 may be the same or different.

[0039] In formula (Ib), Q 3represents a cyclic group which may have a substituent. 3 may be an aromatic group (e.g., a phenylene group). 3 The cyclic group therein may have a substituent such as an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.

[0040] In formula (Ic), Q 4 , Q 5 and Q 6 are each independently a cyclic group which may have a substituent, and L 6 and L 7 are each independently a divalent organic group or a single bond, and n is an integer of 1 or more. 4 , Q 5 and Q 6 An example of this is Q 1 and Q 2 This is similar to the example shown in L. 6 and L 7 An example of 5 Examples of the maleimide compound represented by formula (Ic) include a compound represented by formula (12): 6 and L 7 represents L in formula (Ia). 6 and L 7 where n is an integer of 1 or greater.

[0041] Specific examples of the maleimide compound include compounds represented by the following formulas 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105. In these formulas, n represents an integer of 1 or more.

[0042] Examples of commercially available maleimide compounds include NE-X-9470S (trade name, DIC), MIR-3000-70MT (trade name, Nippon Kayaku), BMI-1000 (trade name, Yamato Chemical Industries), BMI-2300 (trade name, Yamato Chemical Industries), BMI-5100 (trade name, Yamato Chemical Industries), BMI-80 (trade name, Yamato Chemical Industries), BMI (trade name, Yamato Chemical Industries), and SFR-2300MR-T (trade name, Resonac).

[0043] The maleimide group of the maleimide compound may be blocked with a blocking agent that dissociates upon heating. In other words, the curable resin composition may contain a block maleimide compound having a blocked maleimide group. When the curable resin composition contains a block maleimide compound, the term "maleimide compound" in the following description can be read as "block maleimide compound."

[0044] The reactive component may include at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a styrene-based compound, an allyl compound, a phenolic compound, and a benzoxazine compound. The reactive component may include a styrene-based compound and an allyl compound.

[0045] The styrene-based compound is a compound having, as a reactive group, a group obtained by removing one or more hydrogen atoms bonded to a benzene ring from a compound represented by the following formula (IV): 22 and R 23 are each independently a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms (for example, a methyl group). 22 is a hydrogen atom, and R 23 may be a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms (e.g., a methyl group). Styrenic compounds tend to react with maleimide compounds at relatively low temperatures. Styrenic compounds and maleimide compounds can react via a Diels-Alder reaction.

[0046] The styrene-based compound may have a plurality of reactive groups. The reactive group of the styrene-based compound is represented, for example, by the following formula (IVa) or (IVb). R in formulas (IVa) and (IVb) 22 and R 23 is R in formula (IV). 22 and R 2 is defined in the same way as R 11 and R 12 is an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, p is an integer of 0 to 3, and q is an integer of 0 to 4. 11 and R 12 may be the same or different.

[0094] 2. Heat Treatment of Resin Film Curable resin composition A or B was dropped onto a silicon wafer (diameter: 12 inches) and a film was formed by spin coating. The solvent was removed from the coating by heating at 110°C for 3 minutes to form a resin film. Subsequently, the resin film was heat treated under the conditions shown in Table 2 in a nitrogen atmosphere.

[0095] 3. Cure Rate The cure rate of the resin film after heat treatment was measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC8500, manufactured by PerkinElmer). The solvent was removed from the coating film of curable resin composition A or B by heating at 110°C for 3 minutes. Approximately 10 mg of a sample of curable resin composition A or B from which the solvent had been removed was sealed in an aluminum pan. The sample pan containing the sample was placed in the holder of the differential scanning calorimeter together with an empty sample pan. After holding at 0°C for 15 minutes, the temperature was raised to 300°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min to obtain a DSC thermogram of the curable resin composition.

The average film thickness before polishing, t 0 [μm], average film thickness after polishing t1 The polishing rate was calculated by substituting the polishing time T [min] and the polishing surface roughness [μm] into the following formula: 0 -t 1 ) / T

[0098] 6. Surface Roughness After polishing, the surface roughness Ra (arithmetic mean roughness) of an area of ​​10 μm×10 μm located 75 mm from the center of the resin film was measured using an atomic force microscope (manufactured by BRUKER, model number: InSight CAP).
