1Loss of energy

If conventional resin compositions are used in semiconductor devices, then manufacturing adaptability and insulating properties are maintained, but dielectric constant is high leading to transmission loss

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission lossVSAvoiddielectric constant
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical structure of polyimide by introducing specific side chain configurations (Formula 1 structures with R1-R6 groups) to reduce the dielectric constant. This involves changing molecular parameters such as ring structures with 5 or more membered rings in side chains, and adjusting polymerizable group values to 0.2-5 mmol/g, thereby reducing polarizability and achieving lower dielectric constants while maintaining reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The invention creates a composite resin composition combining polyimide or polyimide precursor with polymerizable compounds and polymerization initiators. This composite system allows the polyimide to provide excellent heat resistance and insulating properties while the polymerizable components enable crosslinking to reduce dielectric constant, thus resolving the contradiction between maintaining reliability and reducing transmission loss

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If polyimide with high polar group content is used, then insulating properties and heat resistance are improved, but dielectric constant increases causing transmission loss

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinsulating propertiesVSAvoidtransmission loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by strategically placing specific structural features at particular locations in the polyimide molecule. The side chains contain ring structures with 5 or more membered rings (Formula 1) that locally reduce polarizability without compromising the overall insulating matrix. This localized structural modification reduces dielectric constant while maintaining the bulk insulating properties provided by the polyimide backbone

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the chemical parameters of the polyimide structure by controlling the polymerizable group value (0.2-5 mmol/g) and introducing specific repeating units (Formulae 2-1 and 3-1). These parameter changes reduce the overall polar group content and polarizability of the material, thereby lowering the dielectric constant while preserving essential insulating properties through the maintained polyimide network structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
