[0011] (Resin composition for bonding substrates) The resin composition for bonding substrates of the present invention (hereinafter also simply referred to as "resin composition") is a resin composition comprising a polyimide precursor and a resin comprising at least one of polyimide, wherein the content of the resin is 50% by mass or more relative to the total solid content of the resin composition, and when the resin composition is applied to the surface of a first substrate having a step of 10 μm in height from the surface of the first substrate, a resin film is obtained by forming a film, and when the resin film is brought into contact with a second substrate without a step and bonded by heating and pressurizing, the peel strength between the first substrate and the second substrate is 10 J / m 2 That's all.
[0012] In the manufacturing of semiconductor devices, for example, a substrate such as a wafer is bonded to another substrate such as a chip, and then the device is diced to form individual pieces. However, during this dicing process, delamination or misalignment may occur at the bonded joints, sometimes resulting in poor yield. The inventors of the present invention have found that using the substrate bonding resin composition of the present invention for the bonding process significantly improves the yield. This improved yield has the advantage of enabling the production of packages at a low cost without wasting expensive chips. The mechanism by which the above effect is achieved is unknown, but it is presumed to be as follows.
[0013] The resin composition for bonding substrates of the present invention results in a cured product containing 50% or more by mass of polyimide after bonding. This polyimide exhibits excellent mechanical properties such as elongation at break and Young's modulus. Therefore, the resulting cured product also exhibits excellent mechanical properties, and it is believed that the bonding between the first and second substrates will be maintained even if deformation and stress concentration occur during dicing. Furthermore, the peel strength between the first and second substrates is 10 J / m 2 Therefore, it is believed that delamination during dicing is suppressed. Furthermore, polyimide is a material with excellent heat resistance and a high glass transition temperature. For this reason, it is expected to have excellent peel strength after the heat treatment described later, and also to have excellent handling properties even under high-temperature conditions.
[0014] Patent Document 1 does not describe or suggest such a resin composition for substrate bonding. Hereinafter, the resin composition of the present invention will be described in detail.
[0015] <Peeling Strength> When the resin composition of the present invention is applied to the surface of a first substrate having a step with a height of 10 μm from the surface of the first substrate, formed into a film to obtain a resin film, and a second substrate having no step is brought into contact with the resin film and bonded by heating and pressing, the peeling strength between the first substrate and the second substrate is 10 J / m 2 or more.
[0016] The peeling strength is preferably 12 J / m 2 or more, and more preferably 15 J / m 2 or more. The upper limit of the peeling strength is not particularly limited. For example, it is preferably 100 J / m 2 or less.
[0017] As the first substrate, a substrate having a step shown in FIG. 1 is used. FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of a first substrate 100 having a step 104 on a substrate 102 formed of silicon. The step height is 10 μm, the step width d1 is 5 cm, the step interval d2 is 300 μm, the width d3 of the substrate is 200 mm, and the thickness is 500 μm. Also, the TTV (Total Thickness Variation) of the surface of the substrate having a step is 12 μm. In this specification, the drawings are merely schematic diagrams for explanation, and the shapes, scales, etc. of each element in the drawings may be different from the actual ones.
[0018] As a method for applying the resin composition of the present invention to a stepped surface of a first substrate, a spin coating method is used. After coating to a thickness of 30 μm, the wafer edge is removed by extruding cyclopentanone solution to remove 10 mm from the wafer edge, and then baking is performed at 100°C for 5 min. The above baking is performed using a hot plate. If a thickness of 30 μm cannot be achieved by the spin coating method, other methods such as the slit coating method may be used. Furthermore, the temperature and time of the above baking may be appropriately adjusted considering the conditions for removing the solvent from the resin composition. In addition, if drying is unnecessary, such as when the resin composition does not contain solvent, the above baking may be omitted. The film formation is performed at 350°C for 1 hour. 2 This is done by heating under controlled conditions.
[0019] As the second substrate, a substrate made of silicon is used, having a surface TTV of 2 μm, a substrate width of 200 mm, and a substrate thickness of 500 μm, and having no steps. In this specification, "having no steps" means not having steps of 1 μm or more in height. In this specification, "step" means a part in which the height increases or decreases by 1 μm or more within a width of 1 μm or less.
[0020] The heating and pressurizing in the above-mentioned bonding are carried out under a vacuum of 0.005 bar (wherein in this invention 1 bar is 10.1972 MPa), with bonding conditions of a bonding temperature of 300°C, a pressurizing force of 21,000 N, and a bonding time of 10 minutes.
[0021] The above peel strength is measured by the blade insertion method. The blade insertion method is a method of evaluating the strength of the joint as surface energy from the blade tip when a blade is inserted into the joint interface, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the state in which a blade 114 is inserted into the joint interface of a first substrate 110 and a second substrate 112 that have been joined. In Figure 2, a blade 114 with a thickness h is inserted into the joint interface of the first substrate 110 with a thickness t1 and the second substrate 112 with a thickness t2. In Figure 2, a resin film actually exists between the first substrate 110 and the second substrate 112, but it has been omitted from the description. Due to the insertion of the blade, peeling occurs from the blade tip over a peel length L. The surface energy γ is calculated using the above peel length L by the following formula (1). Here, γ 1 γ is the surface energy of the first substrate side, 2 E is the surface energy of the second substrate side. 1 The Young's modulus of the first substrate is E. 2 The Young's modulus of the second substrate is t. 1 The thickness of the first substrate is t. 2 is the thickness of the second base material, and h is the thickness of the blade.
[0022] <Flatness> The difference between the maximum and minimum values of the film surface height on the surface opposite to the first substrate of the resin film formed on the first substrate (flatness) is preferably less than 1 μm, more preferably less than 0.5 μm, even more preferably less than 0.2 μm, and particularly preferably less than 0.1 μm. The flatness is preferably 0.005 μm or more. The method for forming the first substrate and resin film is the same as the method for forming the first substrate and resin film described in "Peel Strength" above.
[0023] <Peel strength after polishing> When the resin film formed on the first substrate is further subjected to a chemical polishing process before bonding with the second substrate, the peel strength of the bonded body is 10 J / m 2 Preferably, it is 12 J / m 2 Preferably, it is 15 J / m 2 It is more preferable that the above values are met. The upper limit of the peel strength is not particularly limited, for example, 100 J / m2 The following is preferable. The method for forming the first substrate and resin film is the same as the method for forming the first substrate and resin film described in "Peel Strength" above. The chemical polishing process is carried out using CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) manufactured by Fujikoshi Machinery Industries, Ltd. The chemical polishing process can be carried out using an alumina slurry (Polifine A100-Type MX manufactured by Kemet Japan), with a polishing pressure of 3 psi and a polishing time of 6 min. Furthermore, the method for joining the first substrate and the second substrate after the chemical polishing process is the same as the joining method described in "Peel Strength" above.
[0024] <Module of Elasticity> When the temperature is the same as the temperature at which the above bonding takes place, the modulus of elasticity of the resin film is preferably 50 MPa or less, more preferably 45 MPa or less, and even more preferably 30 MPa or less. The lower limit of the above modulus of elasticity is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 0.1 MPa or more. Furthermore, a modulus of elasticity of 10 MPa or less is also one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention. In the above embodiment, a modulus of elasticity of 5 MPa or less is even more preferred. The above resin film is obtained by forming a resin film on the first substrate described in "Peel Strength" above using the resin film formation method described in "Peel Strength" above, and then immersing the first substrate and the resin film in a 4.9 mass% hydrofluoric acid solution. The above modulus of elasticity is calculated by performing DMA measurement (dynamic mechanical measurement) on the resin film after peeling from room temperature to 400°C.
[0025] <Specific Resin> The resin composition of the present invention comprises a resin (specific resin) selected from the group consisting of polyimide precursors and polyimides.
[0026] The content of the specific resin in the resin composition of the present invention is 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 solid content of the resin composition. Furthermore, the content of the resin in the resin composition of the present invention is preferably 90% by mass or less, and more preferably 80% by mass or less, based on the total solid content of the resin composition. The resin composition of the present invention may contain only one type of specific resin, or it may contain two or more types. When it contains two or more types, it is preferable that the total amount is within the above range.
[0027] From the viewpoint of suppressing shrinkage during curing, the resin composition of the present invention preferably contains polyimide. By suppressing shrinkage during curing, it may be possible to omit polishing the resin layer before bonding, or to reduce the amount of polishing. In this specification, polyimide refers to a resin having repeating units containing imide structures in its molecular chain, and it is preferable that the resin has repeating units containing imide ring structures in 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 in its main chain, and it is more preferable that the resin has repeating units containing imide ring structures in its main chain. In this specification, "main chain" refers to the relatively longest bonding chain in the resin molecule, and "side chain" refers 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, and it is preferably a bonding site with a carbon atom, and more preferably a bonding site with a quaternary carbon atom. In this specification, an imide ring structure refers to a ring structure that includes all two carbon atoms and nitrogen atoms in the above-described imide structure as ring members. The imide ring structure is preferably a five-membered ring. In addition to the imide structure, the polyimide may also be a so-called polyamide imide, which has an amide structure in its molecular chain. 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.
[0028] In the present invention, a polyimide precursor refers to a resin that undergoes a change in chemical structure due to external stimuli to become a polyimide. A resin that undergoes a change in chemical structure due to heat to become a polyimide is preferred, and a resin that undergoes a ring-closing reaction due to heat to form a ring structure to become a polyimide is more preferred. The preferred embodiments of the formed polyimide are as described above.
[0029] The imidization rate (also called the "ring closure rate") of the specific resin is preferably 70% or more, more preferably 80% or more, even more preferably 90% or more, and particularly preferably 95% or more, from the viewpoint of the film strength and insulating properties of the resulting organic film. The upper limit of the above imidization rate is not particularly limited and may be 100% or less. Furthermore, if the specific resin is polyimide, the content of the imide structure in the specific resin is preferably 3 mmol / g or less, and more preferably 2.5 mmol / g or less. The lower limit of the above content is not particularly limited, but for example, it can be 0.5 mmol / g or more.
[0030] In this invention, the imidization rate is a value calculated by the following method. The resin is dissolved in γ-butyrolactone, diluted to a viscosity of 2,000 mPa·s, and applied to a silicon wafer by spin coating to form a resin layer. If a resin layer cannot be formed due to reasons such as low solubility of the resin in γ-butyrolactone, the solvent may be changed to another solvent. Other solvents that can be used include solvents contained in the resin composition, such as NMP. The viscosity may also be changed as appropriate within an adjustable range. The silicon wafer to which the obtained resin layer has been applied is dried on a hot plate at 110°C for 5 minutes to obtain a resin layer with a uniform thickness of approximately 15 μm after film formation on the silicon wafer. Here, if only a resin solution with low viscosity can be obtained, and it is difficult to obtain a resin layer with a thickness of 15 μm, the film thickness may be changed as appropriate. For example, if the film thickness is 5 μm or more, a similar value for the imidization rate can be obtained. The above resin layer was measured using the ATR method with Nicoleti S20 (manufactured by Thermofisher), with a measurement range of 4000-700 cm. -1 The measurement was taken 50 times. 1380 cm -1 Nearby (1350-1450 cm) -1 (If there are multiple peaks, the peak height of the one with the highest peak intensity) and 1500 cm -1 Nearby (1460-1550 cm) -1The imidization index A of the resin is calculated by dividing the value by the peak height of the peak with the maximum peak intensity (if there are multiple peaks) and heating the film at 350°C for 1 hour under a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 10°C / min. The imidization index B is calculated in the same manner and the value obtained by dividing the imidization index A by the imidization index B is calculated as the imidization rate of the resin. In measuring the imidization rate, the resin to be measured for imidization rate can be obtained from the composition by, for example, the following method: A solution of 1 g of the composition and 2 g of tetrahydrofuran is added to 50 g of methanol or water and crystallized to precipitate the resin, which is then filtered. The filtrate is collected, dissolved in 3.0 g of THF (tetrahydrofuran), added to 50 g of methanol or water and crystallized, filtered, and dried at 40°C for 20 hours to obtain the resin.
[0031] [Polymerizable Groups] It is preferable that the specific resin has polymerizable groups.

Furthermore, from the viewpoint of reducing the dielectric loss tangent, vinylphenyl groups or maleimide groups are preferred. In addition, radical polymerizable groups are preferred as polymerizable groups.

[0170] By incorporating a surfactant into the resin composition of the present invention, the liquid properties (especially fluidity) of the composition when it is prepared are further improved, the uniformity of the coating thickness and the liquid-saving properties can be further improved, and the ability of the composition to follow steps is increased. In other words, when forming a film using a coating solution containing a surfactant, the interfacial tension between the surface to be coated and the coating solution is reduced, improving the wettability to the surface to be coated and improving the coatability to the surface to be coated. As a result, air bubbles and other particles are less likely to be included in the stepped areas, and it is possible to more favorably form a uniform film with less thickness variation.
[0171] Examples of silicone-based surfactants, hydrocarbon-based surfactants, nonionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, and anionic surfactants include the compounds described in paragraphs 0329-0334 of International Publication No. 2021 / 112189, respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0174] <Characteristics of the Resin Composition> The viscosity of the resin composition of the present invention can be adjusted by the solid content concentration of the resin composition.

Within the above range, it becomes easier to obtain a highly uniform coating film. 1,000 mm 2If the temperature is 1 / s or higher, it is easy to coat the film with the required thickness, for example, as an insulating film for rewiring, and 12,000 mm 2 If the rate is less than or equal to / s, a coating with excellent properties can be obtained on the coated surface.

In the present invention, a chip refers to an individual piece containing a semiconductor formed by dicing or the like, and may be a single-sided chip or a double-sided chip. In the present invention, a semiconductor fabrication substrate is particularly preferred, and a silicon substrate (silicon wafer) is more preferred.
[0185] The step of the first substrate is 5 μm or more and 50 μm or less, preferably 5 to 30 μm, and more preferably 5 to 20 μm. The step is preferably formed by semiconductor chips, wiring, electrodes, etc., and more preferably by semiconductor chips. The spacing of the step is preferably 10 to 2,000 μm, preferably 10 to 1,000 μm, and more preferably 20 to 500 μm. The shape of the step is cylindrical, prismatic, or other, but is not particularly limited, but is preferably rectangular prismatic. The angle between the side surface of the step of the first substrate and the surface of the first substrate is preferably 80 to 100°, and more preferably 85 to 95°.
[0186] The thickness of the first substrate is not particularly limited and can be selected according to the application, but is preferably 50 to 1,000 μm, and more preferably 100 to 500 μm.
[0187] [Resin Composition] It is preferable to use the resin composition of the present invention described above as the resin composition used in the resin film formation process. In the resin composition used in the resin film formation process, the content of the specific resin is not limited, but it is preferable that the resin is contained in an amount of 50% by mass or more of the total solid content of the resin composition. The preferred embodiment of the content of the specific resin is as described above.
[0188] [Composition Film Formation Process] The resin film formation process may include a step of applying the resin composition to the stepped surface of the first substrate to obtain a composition film (composition film formation process). Specific examples of methods for applying the resin composition to the stepped surface of the first substrate include dip coating, air knife coating, curtain coating, wire bar coating, gravure coating, extrusion coating, spray coating, spin coating, slit coating, and inkjet coating. From the viewpoint of uniformity of film thickness, spin coating, slit coating, spray coating, or inkjet coating is preferred, and from the viewpoint of uniformity of film thickness and productivity, spin coating and slit coating are more preferred. By adjusting the solid content concentration of the composition and the application conditions according to the application method, a film of the desired thickness can be obtained. Furthermore, the application method can be appropriately selected depending on the shape of the substrate; for circular substrates such as wafers, spin coating, spray coating, and inkjet coating are preferred, while for rectangular substrates, slit coating, spray coating, and inkjet coating are preferred. In the case of the spin coating method, for example, it can be applied at a rotation speed of 500 to 3,500 rpm for about 10 seconds to 3 minutes. Alternatively, a method can be applied in which a coating film formed in advance on a temporary support using the above application method is transferred to the first substrate. For the transfer method, the manufacturing methods described in paragraphs 0023, 0036 to 0051 of Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2006-023696 and paragraphs 0096 to 0108 of Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2006-047592 can be suitably used. Furthermore, a step of removing excess film at the edges of the first substrate may be performed. Examples of such steps include edge bead rinsing (EBR) and back rinsing. A pre-wetting step may be adopted in which various solvents are applied to the substrate before applying the composition to the first substrate to improve the wettability of the sealing layer before applying the composition.
[0189] [Drying Step] After the composition film formation step described above, the formed composition film may be subjected to a drying step (drying step) to remove the solvent. That is, the resin film formation step may include a drying step to dry the applied composition film. The drying temperature in the drying step is preferably 50 to 150°C, more preferably 70 to 130°C, and even more preferably 90 to 110°C. Drying may also be performed under reduced pressure. The drying time is exemplified as 30 seconds to 20 minutes, preferably 1 to 10 minutes, and more preferably 2 to 7 minutes.
[0190] [Exposure and Development Processes] If the resin composition contains a photopolymerization initiator, exposure and development may be performed on the composition film or the composition film after the drying process by known methods. For example, the resin composition can be removed from the areas that are cut during dicing (dicing lines). According to such embodiments, for example, contamination by foreign matter due to resin peeling during dicing can be prevented. As a result, the yield in the manufacture of the bonded body can be improved. Details of the exposure process, such as exposure means and exposure conditions, can be found in paragraphs 0027 to 0029 of Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-178289.

That is, the resin film formation step may include a heating step for heating the composition film. In the heating step, the resin such as the polyimide precursor is cyclized to become a resin such as polyimide.

For example, when the composition 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 composition.
[0196] 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.

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.
[0199] 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 upper limit of the peel strength is not particularly limited, for example, 100 J / m 2 The following is preferable. Here, the peeling strength is determined by measuring the amount of peeling using the blade insertion method described above, and adding E to the formula (1) described above. 1 : Young's modulus of the first substrate, E 2 : Young's modulus of the second substrate, t 1 : Thickness of the first substrate, t 2 This is calculated by substituting the following values: : thickness of the second substrate, h: blade thickness, and L: measured peeling amount.

[0213] <Dicing Process> The manufacturing method of the laminate of the present invention may include a dicing process in which the bonded body is diced to obtain chips. In the dicing process, the bonded body is cut to a predetermined size. The dicing means is not particularly limited, and any known dicing means may be used, but a cutting method called full cut, in which the cut is made up to the dicing tape, a method in which the semiconductor wafer is partially cut and then divided by mechanical means after cooling, a laser cutting method, etc. can be employed.
[0214] <Other steps> The method for manufacturing the laminate of the present invention may include other steps known in the art without particular limitation.
[0215] <Example of a method for manufacturing a laminate> Figure 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of a method for manufacturing a laminate according to the present invention. Figure 3(a) shows a first substrate 10 on which steps 14 are formed on a substrate 12. The height h1 of the steps 14 is 5 to 50 μm. The first substrate 10 may have wiring, electronic circuits, etc. on or within the substrate 12, and the wiring, electronic circuits, etc. may be electrically connected to, for example, semiconductor chips that form the steps 14. In Figure 3(a), the height h1 of all the steps 14 is about the same, but there may be steps 14 of different heights.
[0216] In Figure 3(b), a resin film 16 is formed by applying a resin composition to the surface of the first substrate 10 having a step 14 and depositing a film. The resin film 16 is manufactured by the resin film formation process as described above. h2 indicates the film surface height of the resin film 16 on the surface opposite to the first substrate. For example, if the resin composition contains polyimide, shrinkage of the film during film formation is suppressed, so the difference between the film surface height h2 at the location where the step 14 exists and the film surface height h2 at the location where the step 14 does not exist becomes small. For example, if the difference between the maximum and minimum values of this film surface height h2 (flatness) is less than 1 μm, the peel strength due to bonding tends to increase. The preferred embodiment of the flatness is as described above. The resin film 16 may also be subjected to polishing afterward. Polishing is performed, for example, by the polishing process described above. By polishing the resin film 16, the surface becomes flat and the peel strength increases.
[0217] Figure 3(c) is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a laminate obtained by bonding a second substrate 18 onto a resin film 16. Bonding is performed by the bonding process described above. Here, if the second substrate 18 has a second resin film, the second resin film and the resin film 16 may fuse together and become one. The bonded body shown in Figure 3(c) may subsequently be subjected to the heat-resistant treatment process described above. Subjecting it to the heat-resistant treatment process improves the bonding reliability.
[0218] Figure 3(d) shows the chips 20 that have been separated into individual pieces by the dicing process, which were manufactured in Figure 3(c). According to the manufacturing method of the laminate of the present invention, peeling of the joints during dicing is suppressed, so it can be said that a laminate with excellent yield when dicing is performed can be obtained.

It can be seen that when such a resin composition for bonding substrates is used, the yield in dicing decreases. Furthermore, it can be seen that the laminate obtained by the laminate manufacturing method of the present invention has excellent yield when subjected to dicing. The laminate obtained by the laminate manufacturing method according to Comparative Examples 1 and 2 has a peel strength of 10 J / m between the first substrate and the second substrate. 2 It is less than [amount missing].
