In the laminate, it is sufficient that at least one of the two or more sheet-like prepregs is obtained using the curable resin composition according to one embodiment. 【0087】Next, a metal foil is placed on at least one surface of the laminate. The laminate with the metal foil is then heated and pressurized. This causes the sheet-like prepreg to harden, and a hardened prepreg product can be obtained. Adjacent sheet-like prepregs can also be bonded together. The heating and pressurizing conditions are not particularly limited, but for example, the temperature can be 100 to 300°C, the time 10 to 300 minutes, and the pressure 0.5 to 50 MPa. After heating and pressurizing, reheating may be performed to further harden the prepreg. In this case, the reheating temperature can be 100 to 300°C.

More specifically, for example, a semiconductor package can be provided that includes a printed circuit board containing a cured product of composition (1) and a semiconductor element. The semiconductor package can be manufactured, for example, by mounting a semiconductor element, memory, etc., on a printed circuit board by a known method. 【0091】 One embodiment of a metal-clad laminate prepreg comprises a curable resin composition (hereinafter also referred to as "composition (2)") and a fibrous substrate, wherein the dielectric loss tangent (Df) of the cured product (10 GHz, 25°C) is 0.0015 or less, and the tensile strength of the cured product after being held at 240°C for 528 hours is 75% or more of the tensile strength of the cured product before heat treatment. 【0092】 Regarding the cured prepreg, in this disclosure, the state of the C-stage in JIS K 6800 (1985) can be cited as one indicator of the cured product. The cured prepreg may be manufactured in any way, but it can preferably be manufactured by the following procedure: 1. Stack multiple prepregs so that the thickness of the cured product is 0.6 mm ± 50 μm, and lay copper foil on both sides thereof. 3 ± 0.3 kg / cm 2 1. Under vacuum pressing conditions, a double-sided copper-clad laminate is obtained by heating and pressurizing at 230±5°C for 80 minutes. 2. The double-sided copper-clad laminate obtained above is immersed in a 10% by mass aqueous solution of ammonium peroxide to remove the copper foil. 3. After removing the copper foil, the cured prepreg is dried at 105±5°C for 1 hour, and then left to stand for 24 hours in an ambient temperature of 24.2±1°C and humidity of 54±4% RH. 【0093】The size of the test specimen used to measure the dielectric loss tangent (Df) is not particularly limited, but for example, a 100 mm x 40 mm specimen can be used.

The ambient temperature during measurement is 25°C, and the measurement conditions are 10 GHz. 【0094】 The size of the test specimen used to measure the tensile strength of the cured material is not particularly limited, but for example, a 230 mm x 25 mm test specimen can be used. If the fibrous substrate is directional, such as glass cloth, the test specimen is prepared by cutting it in the direction of the length of the fibers or at a 45° angle to the grid. The device used to measure tensile strength is not particularly limited, but for example, an Autograph from Shimadzu Corporation can be used. 【0095】 The dielectric loss tangent (Df) (10 GHz, 25°C) of the cured prepreg is 0.0015 or less. While there is no particular lower limit, it may be, for example, 0.0010 or higher. 【0096】 The retention rate of the tensile strength of the cured prepreg after being held at 240°C for 528 hours is 75% or higher. The upper limit is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 100% or less, or 85% or less. 【0097】The composition (2) contained in the prepreg is not particularly limited as long as it can be cured by heating, but it is preferable, for example, to contain a polymerizable group-containing compound (B) as a curable component. One type of polymerizable group-containing compound (B) may be used alone, or two or more types may be used in combination. As an example of polymerizable group-containing compound (B), it is preferable to contain a compound (B1) with a relatively low molecular weight because it has high fluidity and allows for the incorporation of a larger amount of inorganic filler. By including a large amount of inorganic filler, it becomes easier to adjust the dielectric loss tangent (Df) of the cured product to 0.0015 or less. More specifically, it is preferable to contain a compound (B1) with a molecular weight of 1,000 or less. If compound (B1) is a resin having a molecular weight distribution, it is preferable that the number average molecular weight is 1,000 or less. The proportion of compound (B1) in 100 parts by mass of the total polymerizable group-containing compound (B) may be 20% by mass or more, 30% by mass or more, or 40% by mass or more. Furthermore, the amount may be 90% by mass or less, 70% by mass or less, or 60% by mass or less.

The lower limit of the functional group equivalent is not particularly limited, but for example it may be 140 g / equivalent or more.

The ratio of compound (B2) to the total polymerizable group-containing compounds (B) may be 40% by mass or more, 50% by mass or more, 70% by mass or more, or 100% by mass. The ratio of compound (B2) to the total polymerizable group-containing compounds (B) may be in the range of 40 to 100% by mass. 【0099】In polymerizable group-containing compound (B), the functional group that causes the curing reaction is not particularly limited, and various compounds can be used. Examples of compounds that may contain a curable component include compounds having polymerizable unsaturated bond-containing groups such as vinyl groups, allyl groups, (meth)acryloyl groups, and maleimide groups. Compounds having a maleimide group may be combined with an amine compound to perform a curing reaction using a Michael addition reaction. In addition, compounds having an epoxy group may be used in combination with compounds known as epoxy curing agents, specifically phenolic resins, activated ester resins, amine compounds, etc. Among these, it is preferable to use one or more selected from the group consisting of compounds having a vinyl group, compounds having an allyl group, and compounds having a maleimide group, as this can further reduce the dielectric loss tangent in the cured prepreg, and compounds having a vinyl group are particularly preferred. 【0100】 The specific structure of the compound having a vinyl group is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the vinyl group is included as a vinylbenzyl group, as this results in a compound with superior reactivity. The ratio of the compound containing a vinylbenzyl group (B3) to the total polymerizable group-containing compound (B) may be 40% by mass or more, 50% by mass or more, 70% by mass or more, or 100% by mass or more. The ratio of the compound containing a vinylbenzyl group (B3) to the total polymerizable group-containing compound (B) may be in the range of 40 to 100% by mass. 【0101】 Another example of polymerizable group-containing compound (B) is a compound (B4) containing an indene structure, which is preferable because it can further reduce the dielectric loss tangent in the cured prepreg. The ratio of compound (B4) to the total polymerizable group-containing compounds (B) may be 40% by mass or more, 50% by mass or more, 70% by mass or more, or 100% by mass or more. The ratio of compound (B4) to the total polymerizable group-containing compounds (B) may be in the range of 40 to 100% by mass. 【0102】As an example of a compound that falls under any of the above compounds (B1) to (B4), the aforementioned resin (A1-1) can be cited. Furthermore, examples of polymerizable group-containing compounds (B) other than resin (A1-1) include the aforementioned prepolymer (A1-2) and the various compounds described as specific examples of polymerizable group-containing compounds (A). 【0103】 Composition (2) may also contain other resin components besides polymerizable group-containing compound (B), such as curable compounds other than polymerizable group-containing compound (B), thermoplastic elastomers, etc. Examples of curable compounds other than polymerizable group-containing compound (B) include epoxy resins, phenolic resins, cyanate resins, benzoxazine resins, oxetane resins, amino resins, silicone resins, triazine resins, melamine resins, etc. These may be used individually or in combination of two or more.

However, the ratio of polymerizable group-containing compound (B) to the total mass of the resin components may be 90% by mass or more, 95% by mass or more, 98% by mass or more, or 100% by mass. 【0105】 Composition (2) may optionally contain various additives such as curing accelerators, polymerization inhibitors, flame retardants, silane coupling agents, antioxidants, heat stabilizers, antistatic agents, ultraviolet absorbers, pigments, colorants, lubricants, fillers, solvents, etc. Each of these may be used individually or in combination of two or more. Specific examples of these additives and their content in composition (2) are the same as those in composition (1). 【0106】Examples of fibrous substrates included in one embodiment of the prepreg include those exemplified above. Furthermore, a prepreg using composition (2) and the fibrous substrate can be manufactured in the same manner as described above.

The solid content of the prepreg derived from the curable resin composition was approximately 80% by mass. 【0135】 [Preparation of Double-Sided Copper-Clad Laminates] Two layers of the obtained prepreg were prepared, and thirteen layers were prepared. On both sides of these, 18 μm thick electrolytic copper foil (SI-VSP-18, manufactured by Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd.) was laid with the matte side facing the prepreg. This was then subjected to a load of 3 kg / cm². 2 A double-sided copper-clad laminate was obtained by heating and pressurizing under vacuum pressing conditions at 230°C for 80 minutes. 【0136】 [Evaluation of heat degradation resistance] A double-sided copper-clad laminate (with two layers of prepreg) was immersed in a copper etching solution (*2) to remove the copper foil from both sides. Two 230 mm x 25 mm test pieces were prepared by cutting the laminate at a 45° angle (diagonally) to the fiber direction of the glass cloth. One of the test pieces was heat-treated by leaving it at 240°C for 528 hours using a high-temperature dryer. Tensile tests were performed on both the untreated and heat-treated test pieces using a Shimadzu Autograph to measure their tensile strength. The tensile strength retention rate was calculated from the ratio of the measured values ​​of the heat-treated test piece to the measured values ​​of the untreated test piece, and this was evaluated as an indicator of heat degradation resistance. 【0137】 (*2) Copper etching solution: 10% by mass solution of ammonium persulfate (manufactured by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc.) 【0138】[Evaluation of Dielectric Properties] A double-sided copper-clad laminate (with two layers of prepreg) was immersed in a copper etching solution (*2) to remove the copper foil from both sides, and a 100 mm x 40 mm test specimen was prepared. The obtained test specimen was dried at 105°C for 1 hour, and then left to stand for 24 hours in an ambient temperature of 24.2°C and a humidity of 54% RH. Next, the dielectric loss tangent (Df) was measured in the 10 GHz band at an ambient temperature of 25°C in accordance with the split-post dielectric resonator method. The measuring instrument used was the "PNA Network Analyzer N5222B" from agilent technologies. 【0139】 【0140】 As shown in Table 1, the curable resin composition of Example 1, in which the proportion of polymerizable group-containing compound (A) to the total mass of the resin components was 90% by mass or more, and compound (A) contained resin (A1), exhibited a retention rate of tensile strength of over 75% in the cured product after high-temperature, long-duration heat treatment, demonstrating excellent heat resistance to degradation in the cured product.
