Description
Resin composition, cured product, laminate, method for manufacturing cured product, method for manufacturing laminate, method for manufacturing semiconductor device, semiconductor device, and polyimide
[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, and a polyimide.
[0002] In modern times, resin materials manufactured from resin compositions containing resins are utilized in various fields. For example, heterocyclic polymers such as polyimides 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, encapsulants, or protective films. They are also used as base films and coverlays for flexible substrates.
[0003] For example, in the applications described above, heterocyclic polymers such as polyimide are used in the form of a resin composition containing polyimide. Such a resin composition 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. Since the resin composition can be applied by known coating methods, it can be said to have 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 heterocyclic polymers such as polyimide, the industrial application development of the above-mentioned resin composition is increasingly expected from the viewpoint of such excellent manufacturing adaptability.
[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 describes a photosensitive resin composition comprising (A) at least one component selected from polyimide precursors and polyimides, (B) a photopolymerization initiator, (C) a solvent, and (D) an allyl group-containing compound of a specific structure.

[0011] (Resin Composition) The resin composition of the present invention (hereinafter also simply referred to as "resin composition") contains a polyimide having a structure represented by formula (A-1). Hereinafter, the polyimide having a structure represented by formula (A-1) is also simply referred to as "specific resin".
[0012] The resin composition of the present invention is preferably used to form a photosensitive film subjected to exposure and development, and more preferably used to form a photosensitive film 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 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 is preferably used to form a photosensitive film subjected to negative-type development. In the present invention, negative-type development refers to development in which unexposed areas are removed by development during exposure and development, and positive-type development refers to development in which exposed areas are removed by development. As the exposure method, developer, and development method described above, for example, the exposure method, developer, and development method described in the exposure step, development step, etc., described later in the description of the method for manufacturing cured products may be used.
[0013] Conventionally, studies have been conducted to improve mechanical properties (elongation at break) by examining the structure of cyclized resins or their precursors. The cured product obtained from the resin composition of the present invention has a large elongation at break. The mechanism by which the above effect is obtained is unknown, but it is presumed to be as follows. The resin of the present invention has a structure represented by formula (A-1). Among the structures represented by formula (A-1), the structure represented by formula (AA-1) in particular has high cohesiveness, and L 1 or L 2Because it contains -O-, -C(=O)O-, or -S-, it has a soft structure, which is thought to greatly increase the elongation at break of the resulting resin. Furthermore, because the structure represented by formula (AA-1) contains a rigid and highly planar polycyclic structure, interactions between resins, such as stacking of ring structures, are likely to occur, which is thought to increase the glass transition temperature. Thus, because the glass transition temperature is high and the elongation at break is excellent, the insulating properties are easily maintained over a long period of time, and it is thought to have excellent insulating reliability. In addition, the structure represented by formula (AA-1) has high compatibility with other components and high solubility in solvents added as needed. Therefore, when a resin composition containing a resin with such a specific structure is used, it is presumed that the surface flatness of the photosensitive film will be excellent. Furthermore, the structure represented by formula (A-1) is L 1 and L 2 The conjugated system is cleaved by this. As a result, the absorption of exposure light by the resin is small (for example, increasing transmittance at 365 nm), and therefore, it is presumed that the resolution during exposure is also improved. Furthermore, the structure represented by formula (A-1) is a structure with a relatively large molecular weight, and by including this, the content of the imide ring structure in the cured resin becomes relatively small, which may result in a smaller dielectric loss tangent (Df).
[0014] However, Patent Document 1 does not describe a resin composition containing a resin that corresponds to a specific resin.
[0015] The components included in the resin composition of the present invention will be described in detail below.
[0016] <Specific Resin> The resin composition of the present invention includes a polyimide (specific resin) having a structure represented by formula (A-1).
[0017] In this specification, polyimide refers to a resin having repeating units containing imide structures within its molecular chain, and preferably a resin having repeating units containing imide ring structures within its molecular chain. Furthermore, if the polyimide is a linear resin, it is preferable that the polyimide is a resin having repeating units containing imide structures within its main chain, and more preferably a resin having repeating units containing imide ring structures within its main chain. In this specification, "main chain" refers to the relatively longest bonding chain in the resin molecule, and "side chains" refer to the other bonding chains. In this specification, imide structure refers to a structure represented by *-C(=O)N(-*)C(=O)-*, where * represents a bonding site with another structure, preferably a bonding site with a carbon atom, and more preferably a bonding site with a quaternary carbon atom. Furthermore, in this specification, "bonding site" refers to a site that directly bonds with the target without the intervening of a linking group. In this specification, imide ring structure refers to a ring structure that includes all of the two carbon atoms and nitrogen atoms in the above imide structure as ring members. The imide ring structure is preferably a five-membered ring. Polyimides may also be so-called polyamideimides, which have amide bonds in their molecular chains in addition to the imide structure. In this specification, an amide bond refers to a structure represented by *-C(=O)N(-#)-*, where * represents a bonding site with another structure, preferably a bonding site with a carbon atom, and more preferably a bonding site with a quaternary carbon atom. Also, # represents a bonding site with another structure, preferably a bonding site with a hydrogen atom or a carbon atom, and more preferably a bonding site with a hydrogen atom.
[0018] [Polymerizable Groups] It is preferable that the specific resin has polymerizable groups. Examples of polymerizable groups include groups having ethylenically unsaturated bonds, epoxy groups, oxetanyl groups, benzoxazolyl groups, etc., with groups having ethylenically unsaturated bonds being preferred. Examples of groups having ethylenically unsaturated bonds include vinyl groups, allyl groups, vinylphenyl groups, (meth)acryloyl groups, maleimide groups, etc. Among these, (meth)acryloyl groups, vinylphenyl groups, or maleimide groups are preferred, and from the viewpoint of reactivity, (meth)acryloyl groups are more preferred. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of reducing dielectric loss tangent, vinylphenyl groups or maleimide groups are preferred. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of adhesion, hydrophobic vinylphenyl groups are preferred.
[0019] The polymerizable value (polymerizability value) relative to the total mass of the specific resin is preferably 0.2 mmol / g or more, more preferably 0.3 mmol / g or more, and even more preferably 0.4 mmol / g or more. The polymerizability value is preferably 4.0 mmol / g or less, more preferably 3.5 mmol / g or less, and even more preferably 3.0 mmol / g or less.

The radical polymerizability value is preferably 3.0 mmol / g or less, more preferably 2.8 mmol / g or less, and even more preferably 2.6 mmol / g or less.
[0020] For example, the content of vinylphenyl groups in the resin of a composition can be calculated by the following method. The calculation method is the same for other polymerizable groups and radical polymerizable groups. Add 1 g of the composition to 50 g of methanol or water and crystallize to precipitate the specific resin, then filter. Collect the filtrate, dissolve it in 3.0 g of THF (tetrahydrofuran), add it to 50 g of methanol or water and crystallize, filter, and dry at 40°C for 20 hours. Dissolve 0.1 g of the dried specific resin in 0.9 g of didimethyl sulfoxide, 1 The amount of vinylphenyl groups is calculated by measuring with 1H-NMR. 1The number of 1H-NMR scans will be 640. For example, tetramethylsilane will be used as the reference substance. 1 The molar amount of vinylphenyl groups in a specific resin can be calculated from the ratio of the integrated intensity of the peak around 5.0–7.0 ppm derived from vinylphenyl groups in the 1H-NMR chart to the integrated intensity of the peak derived from the reference substance, the amount of the reference substance, and the amount of the specific resin. The molar amounts of other structures can also be measured by calculating the integrated intensity of the peaks corresponding to each structure.

Semiconductor manufacturing substrates are particularly preferred, and silicon substrates, Cu substrates, and molded substrates are more preferred. These substrates may have layers such as an adhesion layer or an oxide layer made of hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) on their surface.

That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a post-exposure heating step in which the film exposed in the exposure step is heated. The post-exposure heating step can be performed after the exposure step and before the development step.

By developing, one of the exposed and unexposed parts of the film is removed, and a pattern is formed.

The lower limit of the above content is not particularly limited, but for example, it is preferably 0.1% by mass or more. Furthermore, if the basic compound or base generator is solid in the environment in which the treatment solution is used, the content of basic compounds or base generators is also preferably 70 to 100% by mass, relative to the total solid content of the treatment solution. When the treatment solution contains at least one of basic compounds and base generators, the treatment solution may contain only one type of basic compound or base generator, or it may contain two or more types. When there are two or more types of basic compounds and base generators, it is preferable that their total is within the above range.
[0272] <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, resins such as polyimide precursors are cyclized to become 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.
[0273] In addition, the heating step can be carried out, for example, by the method described in paragraphs 0326 to 0332 of International Publication No. 2023 / 190064. This description is incorporated into the present specification. Preferably, the heating step is a step in which the heating promotes the cyclization reaction of the polyimide precursor within the pattern by the action of a base generated from the base generating agent.
[0274] 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.
[0275] 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.
[0276] 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.
[0277] 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.
[0278] 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 the film while irradiating it with ultraviolet light, as described in U.S. Patent No. 9,159,547. Such a pretreatment process can improve the properties of the film. The pretreatment process 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 process 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, the film may be cooled after heating, and in this case, the cooling rate is preferably 1 to 5°C / min.
[0279] 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.
[0280] <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, a reaction in which the cyclization of a polyimide precursor or the like proceeds due to photosensitivity of the photobase 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.
[0281] <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).
[0282] 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.
[0283] 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. 7,888,181, and U.S. Patent No. 9,177,926 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 plating include electroplating using copper sulfate or copper cyanide plating solutions.
[0284] The thickness of the metal layer is preferably 0.01 to 50 μm at the thickest part, and more preferably 1 to 10 μm.
[0285] <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.
[0286] 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.
[0287] (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.
[0288] 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.
[0289] 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 of forming a metal layer on a layer made of cured material, which is performed multiple times during the manufacturing process of the cured material. 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.
[0290] <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.
[0291] 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.
[0292] 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.
[0293] 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.
[0294] (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 resin composition layer after exposure. It is preferable to perform the surface activation treatment on at least a portion of the metal layer, and more preferably 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 with 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 resin composition layer (resin layer) after exposure. Thus, by performing a surface activation treatment on the surface of the resin composition layer, the adhesion between the surface-activated layer and the metal layer or resin layer provided on the surface-activated layer can be improved. In particular, when the resin composition layer is cured, such as when performing negative type development, it is less susceptible to damage from the surface treatment and adhesion is easily improved. The surface activation treatment can be carried out, for example, by the method described in paragraph 0415 of International Publication No. 2021 / 112189.

[0335] [Evaluation of Elongation at Break] In each example and comparative example, each resin composition or comparative composition was applied to a silicon wafer by spin coating to form a resin composition layer. The silicon wafer to which the obtained resin composition layer was applied was dried on a hot plate at 100°C for 5 minutes to obtain a uniform resin composition layer with a thickness of approximately 15 μm on the silicon wafer. The entire surface of the obtained resin composition layer was subjected to a stepper (Nikon NSR 2005 i9C) with a pressure of 500 mJ / cm². 2The sample was exposed using i-line lithography with the specified exposure energy. The resin composition layer (resin layer) after exposure was heated in a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 10°C / min until it reached the temperature indicated in the "Temperature" column of the "Curing Conditions" section of the table.

[0336] [Evaluation of Insulation Reliability] The resin composition or comparative composition prepared in each example and comparative example was applied in layers to a copper substrate by spin coating to form a resin composition layer or comparative composition layer. The copper 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 obtain a resin composition layer or comparative composition layer with a thickness of 5 μm and uniform thickness on the copper substrate. The resin composition layer or comparative composition layer on the copper substrate was subjected to a pressure test of 500 mJ / cm using a stepper (Nikon NSR 2005 i9C). 2Using a photomask with a 100 μm square non-mask area formed at an exposure energy of i-line, exposure was performed, followed by development for 60 seconds with the developer described in the "Development Method (Developer)" column of the table, and then rinsing with propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) to obtain a 100 μm square resin layer. Furthermore, the resin layer (pattern) was formed by heating in a heated oven under a nitrogen atmosphere at the temperature and curing time described in the "Curing Conditions" column of the table. After the above resin layer and copper substrate were left in a constant temperature bath at 175°C for 1000 hours, cross-sectional SEM (scanning microscope) measurements were performed to evaluate the void area ratio between the copper substrate and the resin layer. The void area ratio was calculated using the following formula: Void area ratio (%) = (Area of voids observed by SEM measurement) / (Total area of resin layer) × 100. The obtained void area ratio value was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. The evaluation results are described in the "Insulation Reliability" column of the table. The smaller the void area ratio, the better the reliability of the cured film after the HTS (High Temperature Storage-test). This means that voids are less likely to form between the metal layer and the cured material even after a long period of time, resulting in good insulation reliability. -Evaluation Criteria- A: The void area ratio was 0.2% or less. B: The void area ratio was greater than 0.2% but 0.5% or less. C: The void area ratio was greater than 0.5%.

The difference X (μm) between the concave and convex parts of the obtained resin composition layer was measured using a scanning electron microscope (S-4800) (manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation) and evaluated according to the following criteria. The evaluation results are listed in the "Surface Flatness" column of the table. A smaller difference (X) between the concave and convex parts indicates better surface flatness and is therefore preferable. -Evaluation Criteria- A: X was 0.2 μm or less. B: X was greater than 0.2 μm and 0.5 μm or less. C: X was greater than 0.5 μm.
[0338] [Resolution Evaluation] Each resin composition used in each example and comparative example, or the comparative composition, was applied in layers to the surface of a copper thin layer formed on a resin substrate, using a spin coating method. The layers were dried at 100°C for 5 minutes to form a resin composition layer with a thickness of 5 μm. After that, a stepper (FPA-3000 i5 (manufactured by Canon Corporation)) was used to evaluate the resolution at NA=0.50 and 300 mJ / cm². 2Exposure was performed using a hole pattern mask with hole patterns of 1 to 10 μm in diameter formed at 1 μm intervals, at a wavelength of 365 nm. Subsequently, development was performed with cyclopentanone for 15 seconds, rinsing with PGMEA for 30 seconds, and then heating was performed under a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 10°C / min, under conditions selected from 230°C for 3 hours, 200°C for 2 hours, or 170°C for 2 hours to obtain hole patterns of 1 to 10 μm. In each example or comparative example, the heating conditions selected are indicated in the "Curing Conditions" column of the table. The formed hole patterns were evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. The evaluation results are indicated in the "Resolution" column of the table. Image analysis was performed using an SEM (scanning electron microscope), and if the residual film rate at the bottom of the holes was 1% or less, it was judged to be resolvable. The smaller the diameter of the hole pattern that can be formed, the better the resolution; for example, A or B is preferred. -Evaluation Criteria- A: Hole patterns with a diameter of 3 μm and 5 μm were resolvable. B: Hole patterns with a diameter of 3 μm could not be resolved, but hole patterns with a diameter of 5 μm were resolvable. C: Neither hole patterns with a diameter of 3 μm nor 5 μm could be resolved.
[0339] <Example 101> The resin composition used in Example 1 was 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 4 minutes to form a resin composition layer with a thickness of 20 μm. Then, it was exposed using a stepper (Nikon Corporation, NSR1505 i6). 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 exposure, it was heated at 100°C for 4 minutes. After the above heating, it was developed with cyclohexanone for 2 minutes and rinsed with PGMEA for 30 seconds to obtain the layer pattern. Next, under a nitrogen atmosphere, the temperature was increased at a rate of 10°C / min until it reached 230°C, and then maintained at 230°C for 3 hours to form an interlayer insulating film for the redistribution layer. This interlayer insulating film for the redistribution layer had excellent insulating properties. Furthermore, when semiconductor devices were manufactured using these interlayer insulating films for redistribution layers, it was confirmed that they functioned without any problems.
[0340] <Examples 102 to 126> In Example 101, the resin composition was changed from that used in Example 1 to that used in Examples 2 to 126, respectively. Otherwise, the evaluation was the same as in Example 101. In all examples, the interlayer insulating film for the redistribution layer had excellent insulating properties. The semiconductor device operated without problems.
