Description

Resin composition, electronic component device, and method for manufacturing an electronic component device

[0001] This disclosure relates to a resin composition, an electronic component device, and a method for manufacturing an electronic component device.

[0002] In electronic component devices such as printed circuit boards and semiconductor packages, resin compositions containing curable resins are used to protect or electrically insulate electronic components and wiring mounted on the substrate. In addition to liquid resin compositions, resin compositions molded into arbitrary shapes such as sheets and tablets have been developed for use in electronic component devices. For example, International Publication No. 2023 / 282313 describes a resin composition molded into a film.

[0003] International Publication No. 2023 / 282313

[0004] Resin compositions molded into a film lose viscosity and become fluid when heated. Therefore, by heating and pressurizing a film-like resin composition in contact with a substrate, an insulating layer can be formed on the substrate surface. On the other hand, film-like resin compositions tend to have low fluidity in directions opposite to the direction of pressurization (for example, perpendicular to the direction of pressurization). For this reason, filling the gaps between the substrate and the electronic components placed on it is performed using a liquid resin composition rather than a film-like resin composition.

[0005] If the formation of an insulating layer on the surface of a substrate and the filling of voids between the substrate and electronic components placed thereon can be carried out in the same process using a resin composition molded into any shape, a significant improvement in the productivity of electronic component devices can be expected. In view of the above circumstances, one embodiment of the present disclosure aims to provide a resin composition that can maintain a state of being molded into any shape and has excellent fluidity in a direction different from the direction of pressurization, as well as an electronic component device using this resin composition and a method for manufacturing an electronic component device.

[0006] Specific means for solving the above problems include the following aspects. <1> A resin composition comprising a curable resin and an inorganic filler, having a melt viscosity measured at 20°C of 5000 Pa·s or more and a minimum melt viscosity of 200 Pa·s or less. <2> The resin composition according to <1>, which is in the form of a film. <3> The resin composition according to <1> or <2>, wherein the curable resin comprises a curable resin that is liquid at 25°C and a curable resin that is solid at 25°C. <4> The resin composition according to any one of <1> to <3> for filling the space between a substrate and an electronic component. <5> An electronic component device comprising a substrate, an electronic component, and a cured product of the resin composition according to any one of <1> to <4> disposed between the substrate and the electronic component. <6> A method for manufacturing an electronic component device comprising a substrate and an electronic component, the method including a step of filling the space between the substrate and the electronic component with the resin composition according to any one of <1> to <4>. <7> The method for manufacturing an electronic component device according to <6>, wherein the filling of the resin composition is performed by causing a part of the resin composition in the form of a film to enter the space.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a resin composition that can maintain a state of being molded into an arbitrary shape and has excellent fluidity in a direction different from the direction of pressurization, as well as an electronic component device and a method for manufacturing an electronic component device using this resin composition.

[0009] In this disclosure, the term "process" includes not only processes that are independent of other processes, but also processes that are not clearly distinguishable from other processes, provided that the purpose of the process is achieved. In this disclosure, numerical ranges indicated using "~" include the numbers before and after "~" as the minimum and maximum values, respectively. In numerical ranges described in stages in this disclosure, the upper or lower limit of one numerical range may be replaced by the upper or lower limit of another numerical range described in stages. Also, in numerical ranges described in this disclosure, the upper or lower limit of that numerical range may be replaced by the values ​​shown in the examples. In this disclosure, each component may contain multiple types of the corresponding substance. If multiple types of the substance corresponding to each component are present in the composition, the content or amount of each component means the total content or amount of the multiple types of substances present in the composition, unless otherwise specified.

[0010] In this disclosure, “resin composition” means a mixture of two or more components containing at least a resin. If the resin composition contains a curable component, the state in which at least a portion of the curable component has reacted is also included in the resin composition. In this disclosure, “solids” means components other than volatile components such as solvents. In this disclosure, “(meth)acrylate” means “acrylate” or “methacrylate,” “(meth)acrylic” means “acrylic” or “methacrylic,” and “(meth)acryloyl” means “acryloyl” or “methacryloyl.” In this disclosure, “molecular weight” of a compound means the molecular weight that can be calculated from the structural formula if the compound is not a polymer and its structural formula can be identified, and the number-average molecular weight if the compound is a polymer. The mechanisms of action described herein are speculative and do not limit the mechanisms by which the resin composition according to this embodiment exerts its effects.

For example, the resin composition of the present disclosure can be used as a film-shaped resin composition.

[0013] Further, the resin composition of the present disclosure has a minimum melt viscosity of 200 Pa·s or less. As shown in the examples described later, a resin composition having a minimum melt viscosity of 200 Pa·s or less is excellent in fluidity in a direction different from the direction of pressurization. Therefore, the resin composition of the present disclosure can coat the surface of the substrate and fill the space (gap) between the substrate and the electronic component disposed thereon. Therefore, according to the resin composition of the present disclosure, formation of an insulating layer on the surface of the substrate and filling of the space between the substrate and the electronic component disposed thereon can be carried out in the same step.

[0017] In this disclosure, the melt viscosity of the resin composition is measured using a viscoelasticity measuring device under the conditions described in the examples.

[0018] The resin composition may be in an uncured state (A-stage) or a semi-cured state (B-stage). The melt viscosity of the resin composition described above is the melt viscosity of the resin composition before it becomes a cured product (C-stage). In this disclosure, "semi-cured product" is synonymous with a resin composition in the B-stage state as defined in JIS K 6800 (2006), and "cured product" is synonymous with a resin composition in the C-stage state as defined in JIS K 6800 (2006).

[0082] (Inorganic Filler) The resin composition contains an inorganic filler. When a resin composition contains an inorganic filler, the thermal expansion coefficient of the cured resin composition tends to decrease, improving its heat resistance and flame retardancy. The inorganic filler contained in the resin composition may be one type or two or more types.

[0083] Examples of inorganic fillers include silica, alumina, titanium oxide, beryllium, barium titanate, potassium titanate, strontium titanate, calcium titanate, aluminum carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, aluminum silicate, calcium carbonate, calcium silicate, magnesium silicate, silicon nitride, boron nitride, aluminum borate, and silicon carbide. Among these, silica and alumina are preferred from the viewpoint of low thermal expansion, heat resistance, and flame retardancy.

[0084] The average particle size of the inorganic filler is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of dispersibility in the resin composition and compatibility with fine wiring, it is preferably 0.01 μm to 20 μm, more preferably 0.1 μm to 10 μm, and even more preferably 0.5 μm to 5 μm.

The volume-based particle size distribution curve can be obtained, for example, by laser diffraction scattering. The shape of the inorganic filler is not particularly limited, but it is preferably spherical.

[0086] The inorganic filler may be surface-treated with a coupling agent to improve dispersibility and adhesion to organic components.

Examples of curing accelerators include: acidic catalysts such as p-toluenesulfonic acid; amine compounds such as triethylamine, pyridine, tributylamine, and dicyandiamide; imidazole compounds such as methylimidazole, phenylimidazole, and 1-cyanoethyl-2-phenylimidazole; isocyanate-masquimidazole compounds such as the addition reaction product of hexamethylene diisocyanate resin and 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole; tertiary amine compounds; quaternary ammonium compounds; phosphorus compounds such as triphenylphosphine; dicumyl peroxide, 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(t- Examples include organic peroxides such as butylperoxy)hexyn-3,2,5-dimethyl-2,5-bis(t-butylperoxy)hexane, t-butylperoxyisopropyl monocarbonate, and 1,3-di(t-butylperoxyisopropyl)benzene; inorganic peroxides such as potassium persulfate, sodium persulfate, and ammonium persulfate; azo compounds such as 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile, 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), and 2,2'-azobis(4-methoxy-2'-dimethylvaleronitrile); and carboxylates of manganese, cobalt, zinc, etc.

[0089] When a resin composition contains a radically polymerizable curable resin, it is preferable to include a radical polymerization initiator as a curing accelerator. Examples of radical polymerization initiators include organic peroxides, inorganic peroxides, and azo compounds, which are among the curing accelerators mentioned above. From the viewpoint of improving curability, organic peroxides are preferred.

[0090] The resin composition may contain only one type of curing accelerator or two or more types.

[0091] When a resin composition contains a curing accelerator, its content is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.1 to 15 parts by mass, more preferably 1 to 10 parts by mass, and even more preferably 4 to 8 parts by mass, relative to the total amount of resin components (100 parts by mass). When the curing accelerator content is 0.1 parts by mass or more, a sufficient curing acceleration effect tends to be obtained. When the curing accelerator content is 15 parts by mass or less, the storage stability of the resin composition tends to be better. When a resin composition contains a radical polymerization initiator as a curing accelerator, its content is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.05 to 7 parts by mass, more preferably 0.5 to 5 parts by mass, and even more preferably 2 to 4 parts by mass, relative to the total amount of resin components (100 parts by mass). When the radical polymerization initiator content is above the lower limit, a sufficient curing acceleration effect tends to be easily obtained. Also, when the radical polymerization initiator content is below the upper limit, the storage stability tends to be better.

[0092] (Other Components) The resin composition may contain components other than those listed above (other components) as needed. Examples of other components include flame retardants, antioxidants, heat stabilizers, antistatic agents, ultraviolet absorbers, colorants, lubricants, etc. The other components contained in the resin composition may be one type or two or more types.

[0093] (Various properties of the resin composition) The content of the components contained in the resin composition is not particularly limited and can be selected according to the application of the resin composition. From the viewpoint of exhibiting excellent fluidity in a direction different from the direction of pressure while maintaining a molded state of any desired shape, the content of inorganic filler in the resin composition may be 40% to 90% by volume, 45% to 85% by volume, or 50% to 80% by volume.

From the viewpoint of exhibiting excellent fluidity in a direction different from the direction of pressure while maintaining a molded state of any desired shape, the content of organic components in the resin composition may be 10% to 60% by mass, 15% to 55% by mass, or 20% to 50% by mass. The above "content of organic components" refers to the content of non-volatile organic components among the organic components contained in the resin component.

[0095] The shape of the resin composition is not particularly limited and can be selected according to the application of the resin composition. In one embodiment, the resin composition of this disclosure may be in the form of a film. Hereinafter, the film-like resin composition will also be referred to as "resin film".

[0096] The thickness of the resin film is not particularly limited and can be selected according to the application of the resin film. The thickness of the resin film may be, for example, 10 μm or more, 50 μm or more, 80 μm or more, or 100 μm or more. The thickness of the resin film may also be, for example, 1,000 μm or less, 700 μm or less, or 500 μm or less.

[0097] From the viewpoint of handling the resin film, it is preferable that the resin film be placed on a support. The material of the support is not particularly limited and can be resin, metal, paper, etc. If necessary, a release treatment may be applied to the surface of the support that is in contact with the resin film. The thickness of the support is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of handling and economy, it is preferably 10 μm to 150 μm, more preferably 20 μm to 100 μm, and even more preferably 25 μm to 50 μm.

[0098] A resin film placed on a support can be prepared, for example, by applying a resin varnish obtained by adding an organic solvent to a resin composition onto the support, drying it, and removing the organic solvent. The organic solvent content in the dried resin film is preferably 2% by mass or less, more preferably 1% by mass or less, and even more preferably 0.5% by mass or less, and may be 0% by mass, based on the total amount of the resin film (100% by mass). When the organic solvent content in the resin film is within the above range, the amount of volatilization of the organic solvent during heat curing is sufficiently suppressed. The resin film may be in a state in which at least a portion of the curable components contained in the resin film have reacted.

[0099] The resin film may have a protective film placed on its surface. For example, the resin film may have a support on one side and a protective film on the other side. The material of the protective film is not particularly limited and can be resin, metal, paper, etc. If necessary, a release treatment may be applied to the surface of the protective film that is in contact with the resin film.

[0100] The applications of the resin composition disclosed herein are not particularly limited. Examples of preferred applications include forming an insulating layer on printed circuit boards and encapsulating semiconductor elements contained in semiconductor packages.

[0101] <Method for Manufacturing an Electronic Component Device> The method for manufacturing an electronic component device according to the present disclosure is a method for manufacturing an electronic component device comprising a substrate and an electronic component, and includes a step of filling the space between the substrate and the electronic component with the resin composition of the present disclosure described above.

[0102] In the above method, filling the space between the substrate and the electronic component with the resin composition may be carried out while applying heat and pressure to the resin composition. The conditions for applying heat and pressure are not particularly limited and can be selected according to the components of the resin composition. In the above method, filling the space between the substrate and the electronic component with the resin composition may be carried out while reducing the pressure. The method of reducing the pressure is not particularly limited and can be carried out by known methods such as vacuum lamination. In the above method, filling the space between the substrate and the electronic component with the resin composition may be carried out by inserting a portion of the film-like resin composition into the space between the substrate and the chip.

[0103] Hereinafter, an example of a method for manufacturing an electronic component device using a film-like resin composition will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a schematic process diagram showing an example of a method for manufacturing an electronic component device according to the present disclosure. First, as shown in Figure 1(A), an electronic component 20 is placed on a substrate 10. Examples of electronic components 20 include semiconductor chips and interposers. Next, as shown in Figure 1(B), protrusions 30 are formed around the electronic component 20. Examples of protrusions 30 include metal pillars, metal posts, solder balls, and wiring patterns. The protrusions 30 may be relatively raised portions between recesses in a substrate 10 having recesses such as grooves. The spacing between adjacent protrusions 30 can be selected, for example, from 10 μm to 200 μm. The height of the protrusions 10 can be selected, for example, from 10 μm to 200 μm. Next, as shown in Figure 1(C), a resin film 40 is placed on the substrate 10 on which the electronic component 20 and protrusions 30 are arranged, and the resin film 40 is heated and pressurized. The arrows in the figure indicate the direction of pressure. As shown in Figure 1(D), the resin film 40, which becomes fluid due to heating, flows in the direction of pressure, filling the space between the protrusions 30 and forming an insulating layer on the surface of the substrate 10. Furthermore, a portion of the resin film 40 also flows in a direction perpendicular to the direction of pressure, filling the space between the electronic component 20 and the substrate 10.

[0104] Figure 2 is a schematic process diagram illustrating an example of a conventional method for manufacturing electronic component devices. First, as shown in Figure 2(A), the electronic component 20 is placed on the substrate 10. Unlike Figure 1(A), in Figure 2(A), the space between the substrate 10 and the electronic component 20 is filled with underfill material 50. The explanations for Figures 2(B), (C), and (D) are the same as those for Figures 1(B), (C), and (D), so they are omitted.

[0105] As described above, the conventional method shown in Figure 2 involves a step of filling the gap between the substrate and the electronic component with an underfill material. In contrast, the method of the present disclosure shown in Figure 1 fills the gap between the substrate and the electronic component with a resin film instead of an underfill material. Therefore, the method shown in Figure 1 has fewer steps and is more productive than the method shown in Figure 2.

[0106] <Electronic Component Device> The electronic component device of this disclosure includes a substrate, an electronic component, and a cured product of the resin composition of this disclosure described above, which is disposed between the substrate and the electronic component. The substrate included in the electronic component device can be any known substrate, such as a glass epoxy substrate, a metal substrate, a polyester substrate, a polyimide substrate, a BT resin (bismaleimide-triazine resin) substrate, or a thermosetting polyphenylene ether substrate, without any particular limitations. The substrate may also be a circuit board, having a conductive layer as a circuit formed in a pattern on its surface. The electronic component included in the electronic component device can be any component mounted on a substrate, such as a semiconductor chip or an interposer, without any particular limitations.

[0107] The embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to examples. However, this embodiment is not limited to the following examples.

[0108] (Preparation of resin film) The materials shown in Table 1 were mixed with methyl ethyl ketone to prepare a resin composition with a solid content of 50% by mass. This resin composition was applied to the release-treated surface of a PET film and dried by heating (105°C, 5 minutes) to produce a resin film with a thickness of 0.15 mm.

[0109] (Measurement of Melt Viscosity) The melt viscosity and minimum melt viscosity of the resin film at 20°C were measured using a viscoelasticity measuring device (product name: ARES-G2, manufactured by TA Instruments). The measurement conditions were: heating rate: 5°C / min, temperature range: 20°C to 170°C, frequency: 0.5 Hz, strain: 5.0%.

[0110] (Evaluation of Filling Ability) An apparatus was fabricated in which a glass plate simulating an electronic component was placed on a glass plate simulating a substrate, with an air gap in between. Specifically, 30 μm thick spacers (2 mm x 2 mm) were attached to each of the four corners of glass plate A (20 mm x 20 mm) simulating an electronic component. Glass plate A was placed on glass plate B (70 mm x 45 mm) simulating a substrate and fixed via the spacers. A resin film was placed on glass plate A and the resin film was pressurized. Pressurization was performed using a vacuum laminating apparatus under the conditions of vacuuming for 120 seconds, pressurization time for 30 seconds, pressurization pressure of 0.2 MPa, and temperature of 100°C. After pressurization, the state of the air gap between glass plate A and glass plate B was observed from the glass plate B side to evaluate the filling ability of the resin film. Specifically, the filling performance of the resin film was evaluated by determining whether the area filled with the resin film was 50% or more of the total area of ​​voids observed from the glass plate B side, and whether it was less than 50%. The results are shown in Table 1.
