Description

A high-durability resin composition for multilayer chip packaging and its preparation method Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chip packaging, and more specifically to a high-durability resin composition for multilayer chip packaging and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology and the trend towards miniaturization and integration of electronic products, these products need to achieve higher information functions within a smaller volume, requiring chip stacking and packaging. As the number of chip layers increases, the chip bonding wire arcs become longer, placing higher demands on the bonding wires. Improving the flowability of the encapsulating resin can improve the effect of multilayer chip packaging, but high-flow encapsulating resins have poor adhesion. Therefore, developing an encapsulating resin for multilayer chips with both high flowability and good adhesion is crucial.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN101186802B discloses an epoxy resin composition for multi-chip encapsulation and multi-chip encapsulation using this composition. It uses a mixture of spherical fused silica with an average particle size of 5μm to 30μm and spherical fused silica with an average particle size of 1μm as an inorganic filler, exhibiting good moisture resistance, crack resistance, and toughness. However, its encapsulation effect for multi-layer chips is not ideal. Chinese invention patent CN115260963B discloses a low-modulus vertical stacking encapsulant film, its preparation method, and its application. The mixed raw materials are ground into a gel using a bead mill, and the gel is obtained by vacuum degassing. It has low storage modulus, high glass transition temperature, high film tensile strength, low coefficient of thermal expansion, low moisture absorption, and high silicon wafer adhesion. However, it can only achieve two-layer chip stacking encapsulation; as the number of chips increases, the encapsulation effect decreases. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to develop a high-flowability and good-adhesion encapsulation resin for multilayer chips, the first aspect of the present invention provides a high-durability resin composition for multilayer chip encapsulation, wherein the raw materials for preparation include 3-10 parts of epoxy resin, 2-6 parts of curing agent, 80-90 parts of filler, and 1-5 parts of additives by weight.

[0005] In a preferred embodiment, the raw materials for preparation include 5-10 parts epoxy resin, 3-5 parts curing agent, 85-90 parts filler, and 1-3 parts additives by weight.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the raw materials for preparation include 6 parts epoxy resin, 4 parts curing agent, 88 parts filler, and 2 parts additives by weight.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the epoxy resin includes at least epoxy resin I, wherein epoxy resin I is a crystalline reduced resin, and the epoxy equivalent of the crystalline reduced resin is 150-200 g / eq.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the epoxy resin further includes epoxy resin II, wherein epoxy resin II is a dicyclopentadiene multifunctional solid epoxy resin.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the weight ratio of epoxy resin I to epoxy resin II is (4-6):1; preferably, the weight ratio of epoxy resin I to epoxy resin II is 6:1.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the curing agent includes at least curing agent I, which is a terminal tertiary amine hyperbranched polymer.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the viscosity of the curing agent I is <10 mPa·s, and the gelation time is 5-15 min at 100°C and 1 g.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the curing agent further includes curing agent II, the structural formula of which is:

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the weight ratio of curing agent I to curing agent II is (2-4):1; preferably, the weight ratio of curing agent I to curing agent II is 3:1.

[0014] During experiments, the inventors discovered that using a crystalline epoxy resin with an epoxy equivalent of 180-190 g / eq, combined with a terminal tertiary amine hyperbranched polymer, can achieve good flowability at high filler contents, enabling multilayer chip stacking. This results in low product stress, high reliability, and reduced risk of gold wire breakage during multilayer chip stacking. The likely reason is that as the number of stacked electronic chips increases, the arc length between chips becomes longer, and the spacing between chip lines becomes smaller. To avoid risks to encapsulation reliability, it is necessary to improve the flowability of the resin composition while maintaining good adhesion. The crystalline epoxy resin in this invention, at a preferred epoxy equivalent, exhibits high flowability with the terminal tertiary amine hyperbranched polymer at a certain temperature, improving the toughness of the resin composition and enabling wetting of multilayer stacked chips, thus achieving good encapsulation results.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the filler material is a spherical inorganic filler material with a particle size of 10-100 μm.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the particle size of the spherical inorganic filler material includes a combination of 10-50 μm and 50-100 μm.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the particle size of the spherical inorganic filler material includes a combination of 20 μm and 75 μm.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment, the weight ratio of the 20μm and 75μm spherical inorganic filler materials is (10-30):(50-80).

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the weight ratio of the 20μm and 75μm spherical inorganic filler materials is (12-30):(58-76).

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the spherical inorganic filler material is selected from at least one of silica, alumina, and talc.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the spherical inorganic filler material is silicon dioxide.

[0022] The inventors further discovered that using 20μm and 75μm spherical silica in combination can further improve the flowability of the resin composition. Especially when the line spacing is small, the spherical silica with the same particle size can roll, making it easier to flow and encapsulate multilayer chips compared to sheet silica. In addition, the resin composition with the same particle size has low stress, which can avoid the risk of delamination caused by chip packaging reliability issues.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the additives include at least one of coupling agents, low-stress agents, release agents, and colorants.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the coupling agent is a multifunctional silane coupling agent, and the functional group equivalent of the multifunctional silane coupling agent is 500-700 g / mol. Preferably, the functional group equivalent of the multifunctional silane coupling agent is 600 g / mol.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the viscosity of the multifunctional silane coupling agent is 5-10 mm. 2 / s. Preferably, the viscosity of the multifunctional silane coupling agent is 8.6 mm. 2 / s.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the low-stress agent is a propylene-based elastomer (POE).

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the release agent includes, but is not limited to, polyethylene wax; the colorant includes, but is not limited to, carbon black.

[0029] S1 mixes epoxy resin, curing agent, filler and additives evenly according to the weight ratio;

[0030] S2 is transferred to a mixer and mixed at 90-110℃ for 5-10 minutes, then discharged.

[0031] S3 is cooled to room temperature and then pulverized to 1-3mm to obtain pulverized material;

[0032] S4 compacts, shapes, and packages the crushed material before discharging it.
