Solution Overview

Problem

Bismaleimide resins exhibit poor dielectric properties, limiting their application in high-frequency and high-speed package substrates, and existing modifications, such as introducing polyphenylene oxide or reactive organic silicone resin, do not adequately address these issues due to compatibility and homogenization challenges.

Innovation Solution

A modified bismaleimide prepolymer is developed by introducing silicon-oxygen bonds and carbon-hydrogen bonds through a reaction with a double bond-containing organic silicone resin and a hydrocarbon resin, controlling the weight ratio to improve polymerization processability, toughness, and dielectric properties.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a silane-modified bismaleimide compound as an intermediary that bridges the compatibility gap between thermosetting bismaleimide resin and thermoplastic polyphenylene oxide resin. The silane modification introduces functional groups that enhance interfacial adhesion and compatibility, allowing the two previously incompatible resins to form a well-homogenized colloid-liquid complex without phase separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent modifies the chemical parameters of the bismaleimide resin by introducing silane functional groups, which change the resin's polarity, reactivity, and compatibility characteristics. This parameter change enables better mixing and homogenization with polyphenylene oxide resin while maintaining the desired dielectric properties.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a composite resin system combining silane-modified bismaleimide resin with polyphenylene oxide resin. This composite material integrates the high heat resistance and modulus of bismaleimide with the low dielectric properties of polyphenylene oxide, achieving a balanced performance that satisfies both mechanical and electrical requirements for high-frequency and high-speed package substrates.
