Description
Resin composition, cured product, laminate, method for manufacturing a cured product, method for manufacturing a laminate, method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and semiconductor device
[0001] The present invention relates to a resin composition, a cured product, a laminate, a method for manufacturing a cured product, a method for manufacturing a laminate, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and a semiconductor device.
[0002] In modern times, resin materials manufactured from resin compositions containing resins are utilized in various fields. For example, cyclized resins such as polyimide are applied to a wide range of applications due to their excellent heat resistance and insulation properties. While not limited to these applications, examples of applications in semiconductor devices for packaging include their use as insulating films, encapsulating materials, or protective films. They are also used as base films and coverlays for flexible substrates.
[0003] For example, in the applications described above, cyclized resins such as polyimide are used in the form of precursors of cyclized resins, such as polyimide precursors, or resin compositions containing cyclized resins. Such resin compositions can be applied to a substrate, for example by coating, to form a photosensitive film, and then, if necessary, exposure, development, heating, etc., can be performed to form a cured product on the substrate. In the cured product, the precursors of cyclized resins, such as polyimide precursors, are converted into cyclized resins such as polyimide. Since the resin compositions can be applied by known coating methods, etc., they offer excellent manufacturing adaptability, such as a high degree of freedom in designing the shape, size, and application position of the resin composition when applied. In addition to the high performance of cyclized resins, the industrial application development of the above-mentioned resin compositions is increasingly expected from the viewpoint of such excellent manufacturing adaptability.
[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 describes a negative-type photosensitive resin composition comprising a resin containing a polyimide precursor, polyimide, or both thereof, a photopolymerization initiator, and a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound, wherein the polyimide precursor, polyimide, and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound each have a specific structure.
[0005] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-086715
[0006] When a cured product containing a cyclized resin such as polyimide is used in a manner of contacting a metal layer such as an insulating film, it is required to suppress the generation of voids (gaps) between the cured product and the metal layer over a long period of time. It is considered that the generation of voids leads to a decrease in the adhesion between the cured product and the metal layer and an increase in the electrical resistance of the metal layer. In addition, it is also required to suppress the generation of metal oxides between the cured product and the metal layer over a long period of time.
[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a resin composition from which a cured product capable of suppressing the generation of voids and metal oxides between the cured product and a metal layer over a long period of time can be obtained, a cured product obtained by curing the resin composition, a laminate including the cured product, a method for producing the cured product, a method for producing the laminate, a method for producing a semiconductor device including the method for producing the cured product, and a semiconductor device including the cured product.

The resin composition of the present invention can be used, for example, to form insulating films for semiconductor devices, interlayer insulating films for redistribution layers, stress buffer films, etc., and is preferably used to form interlayer insulating films for redistribution layers. Furthermore, the resin composition of the present invention may be a negative-type resin composition or a positive-type resin composition, but is preferably a negative-type resin composition. A negative-type resin composition refers to a resin composition that can be used to form a negative-type photosensitive film, and a positive-type resin composition refers to a resin composition that can be used to form a positive-type photosensitive film. A negative-type photosensitive film refers to a photosensitive film that can be used in negative-type development, and a positive-type photosensitive film refers to a photosensitive film that can be used in positive-type development. Negative-type development refers to development in which the unexposed areas are removed by development during exposure and development, and positive-type development refers to development in which the exposed areas are removed by development.

Examples of metals include copper, aluminum, nickel, vanadium, titanium, chromium, cobalt, gold, tungsten, tin, silver, and alloys containing these metals, with copper, aluminum, or alloys containing at least one of these being preferred. Copper or alloys containing copper are preferred.
[0023] The resin composition of the present invention provides a cured product in which the generation of voids and metal oxides between the cured product and the metal layer is suppressed over a long period of time. The mechanism by which the above effect is obtained is unknown, but it is presumed to be as follows. The compound represented by formula (1) contains a structure in which an aromatic ring and a heterocycle are fused. Here, it is thought that the heteroatom portion of the heterocycle is adsorbed onto the metal surface, such as metal wiring, thereby suppressing the migration of metal to the cured product. It is thought that by suppressing the migration of metal to the cured product, the generation of voids and metal oxides can be suppressed. Furthermore, because the compound represented by formula (1) has an aromatic ring and a heterocycle, it has excellent compatibility with specific resins. Therefore, it is less likely to precipitate during the formation of the cured product, and when applied to a metal, adsorption to the metal occurs in a nearly uniform state, so it is thought that the above effect of suppressing the generation of voids and metal oxides can be easily obtained.

The above hydroxyl group, alkylene oxy group, amide group and cyano group may be located at any position of the crosslinking agent U, but from the viewpoint of chemical resistance, it is also preferable that the crosslinking agent U has at least one selected from the group consisting of the above hydroxyl group, alkylene oxy group, amide group and cyano group and at least one radical polymerizable group contained in the crosslinking agent U linked by a linking group containing a urea bond or a urethane bond (hereinafter also referred to as "linking group L2-1").

Furthermore, the preferred embodiment of the radical polymerizable group is the same as the preferred embodiment of the radical polymerizable group in the crosslinking agent U described above.When the crosslinking agent U contains an amide group and has the linking group L2-1 or L2-2, the structure on the side of the amide group opposite to linking group L2-1 or L2-2 is not particularly limited, but a hydrocarbon group, a radical polymerizable group, or a group represented by a combination thereof is preferred. As the hydrocarbon group, a hydrocarbon group having 20 or fewer carbon atoms is preferred, a hydrocarbon group having 18 or fewer carbon atoms is more preferred, and a hydrocarbon group having 16 or fewer carbon atoms is even more preferred. As the hydrocarbon group, examples include saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, aromatic hydrocarbon groups, or groups represented by a combination thereof. The preferred embodiment of the radical polymerizable group is the same as the preferred embodiment of the radical polymerizable group in the crosslinking agent U described above. In addition, in the above embodiment, the carbon atom side of the amide group may be bonded to linking group L2-1 or L2-2, or the nitrogen atom side of the amide group may be bonded to linking group L2-1 or L2-2. Among these, from the viewpoint of adhesion to the substrate, chemical resistance, and suppression of Cu voids, it is preferable that the crosslinking agent U has a hydroxyl group.
[0234] The crosslinking agent U preferably contains an aromatic group from the viewpoint of compatibility with specific resins. The aromatic group preferably directly bonds with a urea bond or urethane bond contained in the crosslinking agent U. If the crosslinking agent U contains two or more urea bonds or urethane bonds, it is preferable that one of the urea bonds or urethane bonds directly bonds with the aromatic group. The aromatic group may be an aromatic hydrocarbon group or an aromatic heterocyclic group, and these may form a fused ring structure, but it is preferable that it be an aromatic hydrocarbon group. The aromatic hydrocarbon group is preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, more preferably an aromatic hydrocarbon group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, and even more preferably a group obtained by removing two or more hydrogen atoms from a benzene ring structure. The aromatic heterocyclic group is preferably an aromatic heterocyclic group having 5 or 6 membered rings. Examples of aromatic heterocyclic groups include pyrrole, imidazole, triazole, tetrazole, pyrazole, furan, thiophene, oxazole, isoxazole, thiazole, pyridine, pyrazine, pyrimidine, pyridazine, triazine, and the like. These rings may be fused with other rings, such as indole and benzimidazole. Preferred heteroatoms in the aromatic heterocyclic group are nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur atoms. The aromatic group is preferably included in a linking group that connects two or more radical polymerizable groups and contains a urea bond or a urethane bond, or in a linking group that connects at least one selected from the group consisting of the hydroxyl group, alkylene oxy group, amide group, and cyano group with at least one radical polymerizable group contained in the crosslinking agent U.
[0235] The number of atoms (chain length) between the urea bond or urethane bond and the radical polymerizable group in the crosslinking agent U is not particularly limited, but is preferably 30 or less, more preferably 2 to 20, and even more preferably 2 to 10. If the crosslinking agent U contains a total of 2 or more urea bonds or urethane bonds, or contains 2 or more radical polymerizable groups, or contains 2 or more urea bonds or urethane bonds and 2 or more radical polymerizable groups, the minimum number of atoms (chain length) between the urea bond or urethane bond and the radical polymerizable group should be within the above range. In this specification, "number of atoms (chain length) between the urea bond or urethane bond and the polymerizable group" refers to the shortest (minimum number of atoms) linking atomic chains on the path connecting two atoms or groups of atoms to be linked. For example, in the structure represented by the following formula, the number of atoms (chain length) between the urea bond and the radical polymerizable group (methacryloyloxy group) is 2.
[0236]
[0237] [Axis of Symmetry] It is also preferable that the crosslinking agent U is a compound with a structure that does not have an axis of symmetry. The absence of an axis of symmetry in the crosslinking agent U means that it does not have an axis that, when the entire compound is rotated, produces molecules identical to the original molecules, and is therefore an asymmetric compound. Furthermore, when the structural formula of the crosslinking agent U is written on paper, the absence of an axis of symmetry in the crosslinking agent U means that the structural formula of the crosslinking agent U cannot be written in a form that has an axis of symmetry. It is believed that the absence of an axis of symmetry in the crosslinking agent U suppresses aggregation of the crosslinking agents U within the composition film.
[0238] [Molecular Weight] The molecular weight of the crosslinking agent U is preferably 100 to 2,000, more preferably 150 to 1,500, and even more preferably 200 to 900.

The polymerization initiator may be a thermal polymerization initiator or a photopolymerization initiator, but it is particularly preferable to include a photopolymerization initiator. The photopolymerization initiator is preferably a photoradical polymerization initiator.

These can generate radicals by donating hydrogen to low-activity radicals, or by being oxidized and then deprotonated. Thiol compounds are particularly preferred.
[0271] Furthermore, the chain transfer agent may be a compound described in paragraphs 0152-0153 of International Publication No. 2015 / 199219, which is incorporated herein by reference.
[0272] If the resin composition contains a chain transfer agent, the content of the chain transfer agent is preferably 0.01 to 20 parts by mass, more preferably 0.1 to 10 parts by mass, and even more preferably 0.5 to 5 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the total solid content of the resin composition.

Specifically, the resin composition of the present invention may contain a photopolymerization initiator and a thermal polymerization initiator described later.
[0274] By including a photopolymerization initiator and a thermal polymerization initiator described later, pattern formation by exposure becomes possible, and radical polymerization also proceeds more easily during curing by the heating process described later, which may improve performance such as chemical resistance. When including a photopolymerization initiator and a thermal polymerization initiator described later, the content ratio of the thermal polymerization initiator is preferably 20 to 70% by mass, and more preferably 30 to 60% by mass, relative to the total content of the photopolymerization initiator and the thermal polymerization initiator.

Another preferred embodiment of the present invention is to further add toluene to these combined solvents in an amount of about 1 to 10% by mass relative to the total mass of the solvent. In particular, from the viewpoint of storage stability of the resin composition, an embodiment containing γ-valerolactone as the solvent is also a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In such embodiments, the content of γ-valerolactone relative to the total mass of the solvent is preferably 50% by mass or more, more preferably 60% by mass or more, and even more preferably 70% by mass or more. Furthermore, the upper limit of the above content is not particularly limited and may be 100% by mass. The above content can be determined by considering the solubility of specific resins and other components contained in the resin composition. Furthermore, when dimethyl sulfoxide and γ-valerolactone are used in combination, it is preferable to contain 60 to 90% by mass of γ-valerolactone and 10 to 40% by mass of dimethyl sulfoxide relative to the total mass of the solvent, more preferably 70 to 90% by mass of γ-valerolactone and 10 to 30% by mass of dimethyl sulfoxide, and even more preferably 75 to 85% by mass of γ-valerolactone and 15 to 25% by mass of dimethyl sulfoxide.

The inclusion of ethyl lactate provides excellent film-forming properties. This is thought to be because ethyl lactate has low hydrophilicity, and its inclusion suppresses the precipitation of the resin due to moisture in the residual solvent during drying of the composition. In the above embodiment, the total content of one or more solvents selected from the group consisting of γ-butyrolactone and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and ethyl lactate is preferably 50% by mass or more, more preferably 60% by mass or more, and even more preferably 70% by mass or more, based on the total mass of the solvent.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the content of one or more solvents selected from the group consisting of γ-butyrolactone and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, relative to the total content of one or more solvents selected from the group consisting of γ-butyrolactone and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and ethyl lactate, is preferably 80 to 99.9% by mass, more preferably 90 to 99.5% by mass, and even more preferably 90 to 99.0% by mass. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the resin composition of the present invention preferably further contains dimethyl sulfoxide as a solvent. The inclusion of dimethyl sulfoxide improves the storage stability of the composition. This is presumed to be because dimethyl sulfoxide has high polarity, which suppresses aggregation in the resin composition. When dimethyl sulfoxide is included, the content of dimethyl sulfoxide relative to the total mass of the solvent is preferably 10 to 40% by mass, more preferably 15 to 35% by mass, and even more preferably 20 to 30% by mass.

If two or more solvents are included, it is preferable that their total is within the above range.

In addition, a step may be adopted in which the developer is continuously supplied with a straight nozzle, the substrate is spun to remove the developer from the substrate, and after spin drying, the developer is supplied again with a straight nozzle, and the substrate is spun to remove the developer from the substrate. This step may be repeated multiple times. Examples of methods of supplying the developer in the development process include a step in which the developer is continuously supplied to the substrate, a step in which the developer is kept in a nearly stationary state on the substrate, a step in which the developer is vibrated on the substrate with ultrasound, etc., and a step that combines these.
[0388] The development time is preferably 10 seconds to 10 minutes, and more preferably 20 seconds to 5 minutes. The temperature of the developer solution during development is not particularly specified, but is preferably 10 to 45°C, and more preferably 18 to 30°C.
[0389] In the developing process, after processing with the developer, the pattern may be further washed (rinsed) with a rinsing solution. Alternatively, methods such as supplying the rinsing solution before the developer in contact with the pattern dries completely may be employed.
[0390] [Rinsing Solution] If the developer is an alkaline aqueous solution, water can be used as the rinsing solution. If the developer contains an organic solvent, a solvent different from the solvent contained in the developer (for example, water, or an organic solvent different from the organic solvent contained in the developer) can be used as the rinsing solution.
[0391] When the rinsing solution contains an organic solvent, the organic solvent can be the same as the organic solvent exemplified above when the developer contains an organic solvent. Preferably, the organic solvent in the rinsing solution is different from the organic solvent in the developer, and more preferably, it is an organic solvent with lower pattern solubility than the organic solvent in the developer.
[0392] If the rinsing solution contains an organic solvent, one or more organic solvents may be used in mixture form. Preferred organic solvents are cyclopentanone, γ-butyrolactone, dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone, cyclohexanone, PGMEA (propylene glycol 1-monomethyl ether 2-acetate), and PGME (1-methyl-2-propanol). Cyclopentanone, γ-butyrolactone, dimethyl sulfoxide, PGMEA, and PGME are more preferred, and cyclohexanone and PGMEA are even more preferred.
[0393] When the rinsing solution contains an organic solvent, the amount of the organic solvent is preferably 50% by mass or more, more preferably 70% by mass or more, and even more preferably 90% by mass or more, relative to the total mass of the rinsing solution. Alternatively, the amount of the organic solvent may be 100% by mass, relative to the total mass of the rinsing solution.
[0394] The rinse solution may further contain other components. Examples of other components include known surfactants and known defoaming agents.
[0395] [Method of supplying rinsing solution] There are no particular restrictions on the method of supplying the rinsing solution as long as a desired pattern can be formed. These include immersing the substrate in the rinsing solution, supplying the rinsing solution to the substrate by pouring the solution, supplying the rinsing solution to the substrate with a shower, and continuously supplying the rinsing solution onto the substrate using means such as a straight nozzle. From the viewpoint of the penetration of the rinsing solution, the removal of non-image areas, and manufacturing efficiency, there are methods of supplying the rinsing solution with a shower nozzle, a straight nozzle, a spray nozzle, etc., and the method of continuous supply with a spray nozzle is preferred, and from the viewpoint of the penetration of the rinsing solution into the image area, the method of supplying with a spray nozzle is more preferred. There are no particular restrictions on the type of nozzle, and examples include straight nozzles, shower nozzles, spray nozzles, etc. That is, the rinsing process is preferably a process of supplying the rinsing solution to the film after exposure using a straight nozzle or continuously supplying it, and it is more preferable to supply the rinsing solution using a spray nozzle. Possible methods for supplying the rinsing solution in the rinsing process include a process in which the rinsing solution is continuously supplied to the substrate, a process in which the rinsing solution is kept in a nearly stationary state on the substrate, a process in which the rinsing solution is vibrated on the substrate using ultrasound or the like, and a process that combines these methods.
[0396] The rinsing time is preferably 10 seconds to 10 minutes, and more preferably 20 seconds to 5 minutes. The temperature of the rinsing solution during rinsing is not particularly specified, but is preferably 10 to 45°C, and more preferably 18 to 30°C.
[0397] <Heating Step> The pattern obtained by the developing step (or the pattern after rinsing, if a rinsing step is performed) may be subjected to a heating step in which the pattern obtained by the developing step is heated. That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a heating step in which the pattern obtained by the developing step is heated. Furthermore, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a heating step in which a pattern obtained by another method without performing a developing step, or a film obtained by a film formation step is heated. In the heating step, precursors of cyclized resins such as polyimide precursors are cyclized to become cyclized resins such as polyimide. In addition, crosslinking of unreacted crosslinkable groups in specific resins or crosslinking agents other than specific resins also proceeds. The heating temperature (maximum heating temperature) in the heating step is preferably 50 to 450°C, more preferably 150 to 350°C, even more preferably 150 to 250°C, even more preferably 160 to 250°C, and particularly preferably 160 to 230°C.
[0398] The heating step is preferably a step in which the heating promotes the cyclization reaction of the polyimide precursor within the pattern by the action of bases generated from the base generating agent.
[0399] In the heating process, heating is preferably carried out at a heating rate of 1 to 12°C / minute from the initial heating temperature to the maximum heating temperature. More preferably, the heating rate is 2 to 10°C / minute, and even more preferably 3 to 10°C / minute. By setting the heating rate to 1°C / minute or more, it is possible to prevent excessive volatilization of acid or solvent while ensuring productivity, and by setting the heating rate to 12°C / minute or less, it is possible to alleviate residual stress in the cured product. In addition, in the case of an oven capable of rapid heating, it is preferable to carry out heating at a heating rate of 1 to 8°C / second from the initial heating temperature to the maximum heating temperature, more preferably 2 to 7°C / second, and even more preferably 3 to 6°C / second.
[0400] The starting temperature for heating is preferably 20°C to 150°C, more preferably 20°C to 130°C, and even more preferably 25°C to 120°C. The starting temperature for heating refers to the temperature at which the process of heating to the maximum heating temperature is initiated. For example, when the resin composition of the present invention is applied to a substrate and then dried, this is the temperature of the film (layer) after drying, and it is preferable to start the heating process from a temperature 30 to 200°C lower than the boiling point of the solvent contained in the resin composition.
[0401] The heating time (heating time at the maximum heating temperature) is preferably 5 to 360 minutes, more preferably 10 to 300 minutes, and even more preferably 15 to 240 minutes.
[0402] In particular, when forming a multilayer laminate, from the viewpoint of interlayer adhesion, the heating temperature is preferably 30°C or higher, more preferably 80°C or higher, even more preferably 100°C or higher, and especially preferably 120°C or higher. The upper limit of the above heating temperature is preferably 350°C or lower, more preferably 250°C or lower, and even more preferably 240°C or lower.
[0403] Heating may be carried out in stages. For example, the process may involve raising the temperature from 25°C to 120°C at a rate of 3°C / min, holding at 120°C for 60 minutes, raising the temperature from 120°C to 180°C at a rate of 2°C / min, and holding at 180°C for 120 minutes. It is also preferable to treat while irradiating with ultraviolet light, as described in U.S. Patent No. 9,159,547. Such pretreatment steps can improve the properties of the film. The pretreatment step is preferably carried out for a short time of about 10 seconds to 2 hours, and more preferably for 15 seconds to 30 minutes. The pretreatment may consist of two or more steps; for example, the first pretreatment step may be carried out in the range of 100 to 150°C, followed by the second pretreatment step in the range of 150 to 200°C. Furthermore, cooling may be performed after heating, and in this case, the cooling rate is preferably 1 to 5°C / min.
[0404] The heating process is preferably carried out in a low-oxygen atmosphere, such as by flowing an inert gas like nitrogen, helium, or argon, or under reduced pressure, from the viewpoint of preventing the decomposition of specific resins. The oxygen concentration is preferably 50 ppm (by volume) or less, and more preferably 20 ppm (by volume) or less. The heating means in the heating process is not particularly limited, but examples include hot plates, infrared furnaces, electric ovens, hot air ovens, and infrared ovens.
[0405] <Post-development exposure step> The pattern obtained in the development step (or the pattern after rinsing, if a rinsing step is performed) may be subjected to a post-development exposure step in which the pattern after the development step is exposed, either in place of the heating step or in addition to the heating step. That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a post-development exposure step in which the pattern obtained in the development step is exposed. The method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a heating step and a post-development exposure step, or it may include only one of the heating step and the post-development exposure step. In the post-development exposure step, for example, reactions such as the cyclization of polyimide precursors etc. by photosensitivity of a photobase generator, or the elimination of acid-degradable groups by photosensitivity of a photoacid generator can be promoted. In the post-development exposure step, it is sufficient for at least a part of the pattern obtained in the development step to be exposed, but it is preferable for the entire pattern to be exposed. The amount of exposure in the post-development exposure step is 50 to 20,000 mJ / cm in terms of exposure energy at the wavelength to which the photosensitive compound is sensitive. 2 Preferably, 100 to 15,000 mJ / cm² 2 This is more preferable. The post-development exposure step can be performed, for example, using the light source in the exposure step described above, and it is preferable to use broadband light.
[0406] <Metal Layer Formation Process> The pattern obtained by the development process (preferably one that has been subjected to at least one of the heating process and the post-development exposure process) may be subjected to a metal layer formation process in which a metal layer is formed on the pattern. That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention preferably includes a metal layer formation process in which a metal layer is formed on the pattern obtained by the development process (preferably one that has been subjected to at least one of the heating process and the post-development exposure process).
[0407] The metal layer is not particularly limited, and existing metal species can be used, with examples including copper, aluminum, nickel, vanadium, titanium, chromium, cobalt, gold, tungsten, tin, silver, and alloys containing these metals, with copper and aluminum being more preferred, and copper being even more preferred.
[0408] The method for forming the metal layer is not particularly limited, and existing methods can be applied. For example, methods described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2007-157879, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2001-521288, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2004-214501, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2004-101850, U.S. Patent No. 7888181B2, and U.S. Patent No. 9177926B2 can be used. For example, photolithography, PVD (physical vapor deposition), CVD (chemical vapor deposition), lift-off, electroplating, electroless plating, etching, printing, and methods combining these can be considered. More specifically, patterning methods combining sputtering, photolithography and etching, and patterning methods combining photolithography and electroplating can be mentioned. Preferred embodiments of the plating include electroplating using copper sulfate or copper cyanide plating solutions.
[0409] The thickness of the metal layer is preferably 0.01 to 50 μm at the thickest part, and more preferably 1 to 10 μm.
[0410] <Applications> The manufacturing method of the cured product of the present invention, or the fields in which the cured product can be applied, include insulating films for electronic devices, interlayer insulating films for redistribution layers, and stress buffer films. Other applications include sealing films, substrate materials (base films and coverlays for flexible printed circuit boards, interlayer insulating films), or etching to form patterns on insulating films for the above-mentioned mounting applications. For more information on these applications, please refer to, for example, Science & Technology Co., Ltd., "High-Functionality and Application Technologies of Polyimides," April 2008, supervised by Masaaki Kakimoto; CMC Technical Library, "Fundamentals and Development of Polyimide Materials," November 2011; and the Japan Polyimide and Aromatic Polymer Research Association, ed., "Latest Polyimide Fundamentals and Applications," NTS, August 2010.
[0411] The method for manufacturing the cured product of the present invention, or the cured product of the present invention, can also be used for manufacturing printing plates such as offset plates or screen printing plates, for etching molded parts, and for manufacturing protective lacquers and dielectric layers in electronics, particularly microelectronics.
[0412] (Laminate and Method for Manufacturing a Laminate) The laminate of the present invention refers to a structure having multiple layers made of the cured product of the present invention. The laminate is a laminate containing two or more layers made of the cured product, and may be a laminate with three or more layers. Of the two or more layers made of the cured product included in the above laminate, at least one is 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 due to the above shrinkage, it is also preferable that all the layers made of the cured product included in the above laminate are made of the cured product of the present invention.
[0413] In other words, the method for manufacturing the laminate of the present invention preferably includes a method for manufacturing the cured product of the present invention, and more preferably includes repeating the method for manufacturing the cured product of the present invention multiple times.
[0414] The laminate of the present invention preferably comprises two or more layers made of cured material, with a metal layer preferably included between any of the layers made of cured material. The metal layer is preferably formed by the metal layer formation step described above. That is, the method for manufacturing the laminate of the present invention preferably further includes a metal layer formation step in which a metal layer is formed on the layers made of cured material, between multiple cured material manufacturing steps. The preferred embodiment of the metal layer formation step is as described above. As the laminate, for example, a laminate is preferred that includes at least three layers in which a first layer made of cured material, a metal layer, and a second layer made of cured material are laminated in this order. It is preferable that both the first layer made of cured material and the second layer made of cured material are layers made of cured material of the present invention. The resin composition of the present invention used to form the first layer made of cured material and the resin composition of the present invention used to form the second layer made of cured material may have the same composition or may have different compositions. The metal layer in the laminate of the present invention is preferably used as metal wiring such as a rewiring layer.
[0415] <Lamination Process> The method for manufacturing a laminate of the present invention preferably includes a lamination process. The lamination process is a series of steps that include performing, in this order, at least one of the following on the surface of a pattern (resin layer) or metal layer: (a) film formation process (layer formation process), (b) exposure process, (c) development process, (d) heating process, and post-development exposure process. However, the method may also involve repeating at least one of the following: (a) film formation process and (d) heating process and post-development exposure process. Furthermore, at least one of the following: (d) heating process and post-development exposure process may be followed by (e) metal layer formation process. Needless to say, the lamination process may further include the above-mentioned drying process and the like as appropriate.
[0416] If further lamination is performed after the lamination process, a surface activation treatment step may be performed after the exposure step, the heating step, or the metal layer formation step. Plasma treatment is an example of a surface activation treatment. Details of the surface activation treatment will be described later.
[0417] The above lamination process is preferably performed 2 to 20 times, and more preferably 2 to 9 times. For example, a configuration with 2 to 20 resin layers, such as resin layer / metal layer / resin layer / metal layer / resin layer / metal layer, is preferred, and a configuration with 2 to 9 resin layers is even more preferred. Each of the above layers may have the same composition, shape, film thickness, etc., or they may be different.
[0418] In the present invention, it is particularly preferable to form a cured product (resin layer) of the resin composition of the present invention so as to cover the metal layer after providing the metal layer. Specifically, examples include repeating the steps in the order of (a) film formation, (b) exposure, (c) development, (d) heating and post-development exposure, and (e) metal layer formation, or repeating the steps in the order of (a) film formation, (d) heating and post-development exposure, and (e) metal layer formation. By alternately performing the lamination step of stacking the resin composition layer (resin layer) of the present invention and the metal layer formation step, the resin composition layer (resin layer) and the metal layer of the present invention can be alternately stacked.
[0419] (Surface Activation Treatment Step) The manufacturing method of the 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 is 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 surface activation treatment step may be performed on the resin composition layer 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 on at least a portion of both the metal layer and the post-exposure resin composition layer. It is preferable to perform the surface activation treatment on at least a portion of the metal layer, and it is preferable to perform the surface activation treatment on a portion or all of the area on the surface of the metal layer where the resin composition layer is formed. By performing the surface activation treatment on the surface of the metal layer in this way, the adhesion to the resin composition layer (film) provided on its surface can be improved. It is also preferable to perform the surface activation treatment on a portion or all of the post-exposure resin composition layer (resin layer). By performing the surface activation treatment on the surface of the resin composition layer in this way, the adhesion to the metal layer and resin layer provided on the surface-activated surface can be improved. In particular, when developing negative film, if the resin composition layer is cured, it is less susceptible to damage from surface treatment and adhesion is easily improved. Surface activation treatment can be carried out, for example, by the method described in paragraph 0415 of International Publication No. 2021 / 112189. This is incorporated herein by reference.

Furthermore, the present invention also discloses a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including a method for manufacturing a cured product or a laminate of the present invention. Specific examples of semiconductor devices in which the resin composition of the present invention is used to form an interlayer insulating film for a redistribution layer can be found in paragraphs 0213 to 0218 and Figure 1 of Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2016-027357, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The materials, amounts used, proportions, processing content, and processing procedures shown in the following examples can be modified as appropriate, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific examples shown below. Unless otherwise specified, "parts" and "%" are based on mass.

The reaction mixture is then cooled to -10°C, and 17.0 g of thionyl chloride is added over 60 minutes while maintaining the temperature at -10±5°C. After diluting with 50 mL of N-methylpyrrolidone, a solution prepared by dissolving 12.2 g of 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether (DADPE) in 100 mL of N-methylpyrrolidone is added dropwise to the reaction mixture over 60 minutes at -10±5°C, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature (25°C) for 2 hours. Then, 10.0 g of ethanol is added and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Next, 6000 g of water is added to precipitate the polyimide precursor, and the precipitate (water-polyimide precursor mixture) is stirred for 15 minutes. The precipitate (solid polyimide precursor) after stirring is filtered and dissolved in 500 g of tetrahydrofuran (THF). 6000 g of water (poor solvent) is added to the resulting solution to precipitate the polyimide precursor, and the precipitate (water-polyimide precursor mixture) is stirred for 15 minutes. The precipitate after stirring is filtered again and dried under reduced pressure at 45°C for 1 day to obtain 45.3 g of powdered resin P-1. The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) is 30,000. 1¹H-NMR confirms that the structure of resin P-1 is represented by the following formula P-1. The weight-average molecular weight and number-average molecular weight are measured by the following method. A high-speed GPC instrument HLC-8420GPC (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) is used, with a TSK guard column Super AW-H (4.6 mm × 35 mm) as the guard column and two TSKgel Super AWM-H (4.6 mm × 150 mm) columns connected in series for GPC measurement. A 0.01 mol / L lithium bromide NMP (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) solution is used as the eluent. In the following synthesis examples, unless otherwise specified, the method for measuring the weight-average molecular weight and number-average molecular weight is the same as above.

[0426] [Synthesis Example P-1-2: Synthesis of Resin (P-1, Mw 28,000) (Precursor to Cyclic Resin)] 28.18 g of ODPA and 8.91 g of BPDA are placed in a separable flask, 39.69 g of HEMA and 136.83 g of THF are added, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature (25°C). While stirring, 24.66 g of pyridine is added to obtain the reaction mixture. After the exothermic reaction is complete, the mixture is allowed to cool to room temperature and left for 16 hours. Next, under ice cooling, a solution of 62.46 g of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) dissolved in 61.57 g of THF is added to the reaction mixture over 40 minutes while stirring, followed by 26.98 g of DADPE suspended in 119.73 g of THF, which is added over 60 minutes while stirring. After further stirring at room temperature for 2 hours, 7.17 g of ethyl alcohol is added and the mixture is stirred for 1 hour, then 136.83 g of THF is added. The precipitate formed in the reaction mixture is removed by filtration to obtain the reaction solution. The obtained reaction solution is added to 716.21 g of ethanol to produce a precipitate consisting of crude polymer. The produced crude polymer is filtered off and dissolved in 403.49 g of THF to obtain a crude polymer solution. The obtained crude polymer solution is added dropwise to 8470.26 g of water to precipitate the polymer, and the precipitate (water-polyimide precursor mixture) is stirred for 15 minutes. The precipitate after stirring is filtered again and dried under reduced pressure at 45°C for 1 day to obtain 75.3 g of powdered resin P-1. The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) is 28,000. 1 H-NMR confirms that the structure of resin P-1 is represented by formula P-1.

[0522] <Evaluation> [Evaluation of void suppression after high-temperature storage test] The following evaluation was performed using the resin composition of the example and the comparative composition of the comparative example. The results obtained are shown in the table above. The resin composition or comparative composition prepared in each example and comparative example was applied in layers by spin coating onto an 8-inch Si wafer with a Cu (copper) wiring pattern (Si wafer with a 1:1 line-and-space pattern (comb-type) Cu wiring pattern with a width of 10 μm and a thickness of 5 μm) (hereinafter also referred to as "substrate") that had not undergone pretreatment, to form a resin composition layer or comparative composition layer. The substrate on which the obtained 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 on the substrate with a uniform thickness and the film thickness indicated in the "Film Thickness (μm)" column of the table. The resin composition layer or comparative composition layer on the substrate was subjected to 500 mJ / cm². 2Exposure is performed with the specified exposure energy. In the example where "M" is written in the "Exposure Conditions" column of the table, a stepper is used as the light source, and exposure is performed with light of the exposure wavelength (nm) listed in the "Exposure Wavelength (nm)" column of the table. In the example where "D" is written in the "Exposure Conditions" column of the table, a direct exposure device (Adtec DE-6UH III) is used as the light source, and a photomask is not used. Laser direct imaging exposure is performed over a 100 μm square area with light of the exposure wavelength (nm) listed in the "Exposure Wavelength (nm)" column of the table. After that, development is performed for 60 seconds with the developer listed in the table to obtain a 100 μm square resin layer. "CP" in the table represents cyclopentanone. "GBL" in the table represents γ-butyrolactone. "CP / GBL" in the table represents a developer containing CP and GBL in a CP / GBL (mass ratio) of 1 / 1. In the table, if "-" is indicated in the columns for exposure wavelength, exposure conditions, or developer, exposure and development are not performed. In the case where a numerical value is indicated in the "Cure Temperature" column of the table, the resin layer after exposure is heated using a hot plate in a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 10°C / min until it reaches the temperature indicated in the "Cure Temperature (°C)" column of the table, and then maintained at the above temperature for the time (minutes) indicated in the "Cure Time (min)" column of the table to obtain a cured product. In the case where "IR" is indicated in the "Cure Temperature (°C)" column of the table, the resin layer is heated using an infrared lamp heating device (Advance Riko Co., Ltd., RTP-6) in a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 10°C / min until it reaches 230°C, and then maintained at the above temperature for 180 minutes to obtain a cured product. The substrate with the obtained cured product is left in a chamber at a temperature of 175°C under atmospheric pressure for 192 hours. Cross-sectional SEM (scanning microscope) measurements were performed to evaluate the void area ratio between the hardened material and the Cu wiring pattern (metal layer). The void area ratio was calculated using the following formula: Void area ratio (%) = (Area of voids observed by SEM measurement) / (Area of Cu wiring observed by SEM measurement) × 100. The obtained void area ratio value was evaluated according to the evaluation criteria below. The evaluation results are recorded in the "Void Suppression" column of the table.The smaller the void area ratio, the better the adhesion of the cured material after high-temperature storage testing. This means that corrosion of the metal wiring can be suppressed even when exposed to high-temperature conditions, and the formation of voids between the cured material and the metal layer can be suppressed over a long period of time. -Evaluation Criteria- A: Void area ratio is 0.5% or less. B: Void area ratio is greater than 0.5% and 1.0% or less. C: Void area ratio is greater than 1.0% and 1.5% or less. D: Void area ratio is greater than 1.5%.
[0523] [Evaluation of copper oxide film thickness after high-temperature storage test] The following evaluations were performed using the resin composition of the example and the comparative composition of the comparative example, and the results obtained are shown in the table above. A substrate with a cured product prepared in the same manner as above was subjected to a high-temperature storage test, which involved leaving it in a chamber at 175°C under atmospheric pressure for 192 hours. Cross-sectional SEM (scanning microscope) measurements were performed to measure the thickness of the copper oxide film between the Cu wiring pattern and the cured product. The thickness of the obtained copper oxide film was evaluated according to the evaluation criteria below. The evaluation results are shown in the "Suppression of copper oxide film thickness" column of the table. The smaller the thickness of the copper oxide film, the more the deformation of the Cu wiring pattern is suppressed. -Evaluation criteria- A: The thickness of the copper oxide film is 130 nm or less. B: The thickness of the copper oxide film is greater than 130 nm and 150 nm or less. C: The thickness of the copper oxide film is greater than 150 nm and 170 nm or less. D: The thickness of the copper oxide film is greater than 170 nm.
[0524] From the above results, it can be seen that the cured product formed from the resin composition of the present invention can suppress the formation of voids between the cured product and the metal layer, even when exposed to high-temperature conditions. Furthermore, it can be seen that the cured product formed from the resin composition of the present invention is less prone to copper oxide formation, even when exposed to high-temperature conditions. Therefore, even when the cured product formed from the resin composition of the present invention is in contact with the metal layer for a long period of time or is exposed to high-temperature conditions, the adhesion between the cured product and the metal layer does not deteriorate easily, and corrosion of metal wiring can be suppressed. The comparative composition does not contain compound A. It can be seen that the cured product formed from the comparative composition develops voids and copper oxide between the metal layer and the cured product after a long period of time.
[0525] <Examples 1001-1161> The resin compositions used in Examples 1-161 are applied in layers to the surface of a copper thin layer formed on a resin substrate by spin coating, and dried at 100°C for 5 minutes to form a photosensitive film with a thickness of 20 μm. Then, the film is exposed using a stepper (Nikon Corporation, NSR1505 i6). Exposure is 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 above exposure, the film is developed with cyclopentanone for 2 minutes and rinsed with PGMEA for 30 seconds to obtain the layer pattern. Next, the film is heated in a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 10°C / min until it reaches 230°C, and then maintained at 230°C for 180 minutes to form an interlayer insulating film for redistribution layers. This interlayer insulating film for redistribution layers has excellent insulating properties. Semiconductor devices are also manufactured using this interlayer insulating film for redistribution layers. The semiconductor devices in all of the embodiments operate without any problems.
[0526] The present invention provides a resin composition that yields a cured product in which the generation of voids and metal oxides between the cured product and the metal layer is suppressed over a long period of time, a cured product obtained by curing the resin composition, a laminate containing the cured product, a method for manufacturing the cured product, a method for manufacturing the laminate, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the method for manufacturing the cured product, and a semiconductor device containing the cured product.
[0527] Although the present invention has been described in detail and with reference to specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2024-166570, filed on 25 September 2024, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
