Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、高解像度で高残膜率のパターンを得ることができ、硬化後にウエハ等の基板の反りが少ない、低応力のポジ型感光性樹脂とそれを用いた半導体装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、半導体素子の表面保護膜、層間絶縁膜には耐熱性が優れ、又卓越した電気特性、機械的特性等を有するポリイミド樹脂が用いられているが、近年半導体素子の高集積化、大型化、封止樹脂パッケージの薄型化、小型化、半田リフローによる表面実装への移行等により耐熱サイクル性、耐熱ショック性等の著しい向上の要求があり、更に高性能のポリイミド樹脂が必要とされるようになってきた。
【0003】
一方、ポリイミド樹脂自身に感光性を付与する技術が最近注目を集めてきており、例えば感光性ポリイミド樹脂として、下記式(6)等がある。
【化8】

Figure 0004040216
【0004】
これを用いるとパターン作成工程の一部が簡略化でき、工程短縮の効果はあるが、現像の際にN−メチル−2−ピロリドン等の溶剤が必要となるため、安全、取扱いにおいて問題がある。そこで最近では、アルカリ水溶液で現像ができるポジ型の感光性樹脂が開発されている。例えば、特公平1−46862号公報においてはポリベンゾオキサゾール前駆体とジアゾキノン化合物より構成されるポジ型感光性樹脂が開示されている。これは高い耐熱性、優れた電気特性、微細加工性を有し、ウェハーコート用のみならず層間絶縁用樹脂としての可能性も有している。このポジ型の感光性樹脂の現像メカニズムは、未露光部のジアゾキノン化合物がアルカリ性水溶液に不溶であり、露光することによりジアゾキノン化合物が化学変化を起こし、アルカリ性水溶液に可溶となる。この露光部と未露光部での溶解性の差を利用し、未露光部のみの塗膜パターンの作成が可能となる。
【0005】
これら感光性樹脂を実際に製品に使用する場合、感光性樹脂と封止樹脂との密着性が重要となってくる。これらは主に層間絶縁用として永久保護膜となって回路素子と封止樹脂との間に存在することになるため、感光性樹脂と封止樹脂との密着性が悪い場合、その界面で剥離が発生し、実用性に欠けるという問題が生じる。
【0006】
また、近年特にウエハの大型化が進み、300mmウエハが使用されるようになってきた。大きなウエハではSiウエハと感光性樹脂との線膨張係数が異なるために、ウエハに反りが生じ、ウエハを薄く削る裏面研削の工程でウエハが割れる問題が起こってきている。したがって感光性樹脂の線膨張係数をシリコンウエハに近づけた低応力の感光性樹脂の開発が望まれていた。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
高解像度で高残膜率のパターンを得ることができ、樹脂を硬化したのちのウエハの反りが小さいポジ型感光性樹脂を得る。またそれを用いた半導体装置を得る。
【0008】
本発明は、一般式(1)で示されるポリアミド(A)100重量部と感光性ジアゾキノン化合物(B)1〜100重量部とフェノール化合物(C)1〜30重量部からなることを特徴とするポジ型感光性樹脂組成物である。(式(1)中、Xは3,3’−ジアミノ−4,4’ジヒドロキシビフェニル、Yは下記式(3)より選ばれてなる。)
【化9】

【化11】
Figure 0004040216
また、一般式(1)で示されるポリアミド(A)100重量部と感光性ジアゾキノン化合物(B)1〜100重量部と一般式(4)および/又は(5)で表されるフェノール化合物(C)1〜30重量部とからなるポジ型感光性組成物である。

【0009】
更に好ましい形態としては、該感光性ジアゾキノン化合物(B)が、下記より選ばれてなり、
【化14】
Figure 0004040216
該ポリアミド(A)中、Yが下記より選ばれてなり、硬化後の線膨張係数が5〜45ppmであるポジ型感光性樹脂組成物である。
【化15】
Figure 0004040216
【0010】
また、上記のポジ型感光性樹脂組成物を用い、ポジ型感光性樹脂組成物を加熱、硬化後の厚みが0.1〜30μmになるように塗布し、プリベーク、露光、現像、加熱してなる半導体素子からなる半導体装置である。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
式(1)のポリアミドは、Xの構造を有するビスアミノフェノールとYの構造を有するジカルボン酸からなり、このポリアミドを約300〜400℃で加熱すると閉環し、ポリベンゾオキサゾールという耐熱性樹脂に変化する。
【0013】
この中で特に硬化後のフィルムの線膨張係数が低く、低応力性を示すものとして3−ジアミノ−4、4−ジヒドロキシビフェニルがあげられる。
この構造は硬化後の樹脂構造が直線性を持つような構造を有しており、硬化フィルムの線膨張係数が小さくなり、シリコンウエハの線膨張係数に近くなるので、ウエハの反りが少なくなる。
【0014】
硬化後の樹脂の線膨張係数は5〜45ppmが好ましい。硬化後の樹脂の線膨張係数が5ppmより小さくすることは難しく、硬化後の樹脂の線膨張係数が45ppmを越えるとウエハ等の基板に反りが発生するようになる。また、有機溶剤への溶解性をあげるため、線膨張性係数が大きくならない程度に他のジアミノジヒドロキシ化合物を共重合することが可能である。
【0015】
本発明のポリアミド(1)のYは、例えば、
【化17】

等であるがこれらに限定されるものではない。
【0016】
これらの中で特に硬化後のフィルムの線膨張係数が低く、低応力性を示すものとして、

【0017】
更に、式(1)のZは、例えば、
【化19】
Figure 0004040216
等であるがこれらに限定されるものではない。
【0018】
式(1)のZは、例えば、シリコンウェハーのような基板に対して、特に密着性が必要な場合に用いるが、その使用割合bについては最大40モル%まで使用することができる。40モル%を越えると樹脂の溶解性が極めて低下し、スカムが発生し、パターン加工ができない。
なお、これらX、Y、Zの使用にあたっては、それぞれ1種類であっても2種類以上の混合物であっても構わない。
【0019】
本発明で用いる感光性ジアゾキノン化合物は、1,2−ベンゾキノンジアジドあるいは1,2−ナフトキノンジアジド構造を有する化合物であり、米国特許明細書第2,772,972号、第2,797,213号、第3,669,658号により公知の物質である。

例えば、下記のものが挙げられる。

これらの中で特に高残膜率の点から好ましいものとしては下記のものがある。
【化21】

【0022】
感光性ジアジドキノン化合物(B)のポリアミド(A)への配合量は、ポリアミド100重量部に対し、1〜100重量部で、配合量が1重量部未満だと樹脂のパターニング性が不良であり、逆に100重量部を越えるとフィルムの引張り伸び率が著しく低下する。
【0023】
本発明のポジ型感光性樹脂組成物には、必要により感光特性を高めるためにジヒドロキシピリジン誘導体を加えることができる。ジヒドロキシピリジン誘導体としては、例えば、2,6−ジメチル−3,5−ジアセチル−4−(2′−ニトロフェニル)−1,4−ジヒドロピリジン、4−(2′−ニトロフェニル)−2,6−ジメチル−3,5−ジカルボエトキシ−1,4−ジヒドロピリジン、4−(2′,4′−ジニトロフェニル)−2,6−ジメチル−3,5−カルボメトキシ−1,4−ジヒドロピリジン等を挙げることができる。
【0024】
本発明のポジ型感光性樹脂組成物においては、更に一般式(4)、(5)で表わされるフェノール化合物を含有させることにより感度を改善することが可能である。

フェノール化合物をポジ型レジスト組成物に添加する技術としては、例えば、特開平3−200251号公報、特開平3−200252号公報、特開平3−200253号公報、特開平3−200254号公報、特開平4−1650号公報、特開平4−1651号公報、特開平4−11260号公報、特開平4−12356号公報、特開平4−12357号公報に示されている。しかし、これらに示されているようなフェノール化合物は、本発明におけるポリアミドをベース樹脂としたポジ型感光性樹脂に用いても感度向上の効果は小さい。
【0028】
しかし、本発明における一般式(4)、(5)で表わされるフェノール化合物を用いた場合、露光部における溶解速度が増し、感度が向上する。又分子量を小さくし感度を上げた場合に見られるような未露光部の膜減りも非常に小さい。
又本発明においては、一般式(4)、(5)で表わされるフェノール化合物を添加することによる新たな特性として、封止樹脂との密着性が向上したポジ型感光性樹脂組成物が得られるということを見い出した。

一般式(4)又は(5)で表わされる化合物は単独、又は混合物の形で全フェノール化合物(C)中に50重量%以上含まれるものである。
【0038】
フェノール化合物(C)の添加量としては、ポリアミド(A)100重量部に対して1〜50重量部が好ましい。添加量が1重量部未満だと感度向上の効果が得られず、又添加量が50重量部を越えると残膜率の低下が大きくなったり、又冷凍保存中において析出が起こり実用性に欠ける。

本発明によって、高解像度で高残膜率のパターンを得ることができ、樹脂を硬化したのちのウエハの反りが小さいポジ型感光性樹脂とそれを用いた半導体装置を提供することができる。[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a low-stress positive photosensitive resin that can obtain a pattern having a high resolution and a high residual film ratio and that has less warping of a substrate such as a wafer after curing, and a semiconductor device using the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, polyimide resin having excellent heat resistance and excellent electrical and mechanical properties has been used for the surface protection film and interlayer insulation film of semiconductor elements. There is a demand for significant improvement in heat cycle resistance, heat shock resistance, etc., due to thinning, downsizing of sealing resin packages, transition to surface mounting by solder reflow, etc. It seems that higher performance polyimide resin is required It has become.
[0003]
On the other hand, a technique for imparting photosensitivity to the polyimide resin itself has recently attracted attention. For example, the photosensitive polyimide resin includes the following formula (6).
[Chemical 8]
Figure 0004040216
[0004]
If this is used, a part of the pattern creation process can be simplified and the effect of shortening the process can be obtained. However, a solvent such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is required for development, which causes a problem in safety and handling. . Recently, positive photosensitive resins that can be developed with an aqueous alkali solution have been developed. For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-468662 discloses a positive photosensitive resin composed of a polybenzoxazole precursor and a diazoquinone compound. This has high heat resistance, excellent electrical properties, and fine processability, and has the potential not only for wafer coating but also as a resin for interlayer insulation. The development mechanism of this positive photosensitive resin is that the unexposed portion of the diazoquinone compound is insoluble in the alkaline aqueous solution, and the diazoquinone compound undergoes a chemical change upon exposure to become soluble in the alkaline aqueous solution. By utilizing the difference in solubility between the exposed area and the unexposed area, it is possible to create a coating film pattern only on the unexposed area.
[0005]
When these photosensitive resins are actually used in products, the adhesion between the photosensitive resin and the sealing resin is important. These are permanent protective films for interlayer insulation, and are present between the circuit element and the sealing resin. If the adhesiveness between the photosensitive resin and the sealing resin is poor, peeling occurs at the interface. Occurs, and the problem of lack of practicality arises.
[0006]
In recent years, especially, the wafer has been increased in size, and a 300 mm wafer has been used. In the case of a large wafer, since the linear expansion coefficients of the Si wafer and the photosensitive resin are different from each other, the wafer is warped, and there is a problem that the wafer is broken in the back grinding process in which the wafer is thinned. Therefore, it has been desired to develop a low-stress photosensitive resin in which the linear expansion coefficient of the photosensitive resin is close to that of a silicon wafer.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
A positive photosensitive resin can be obtained which can obtain a pattern having a high resolution and a high residual film ratio and a small warpage of the wafer after the resin is cured. In addition, a semiconductor device using the same is obtained.
[0008]
The present invention comprises 100 parts by weight of the polyamide (A) represented by the general formula (1), 1 to 100 parts by weight of the photosensitive diazoquinone compound (B), and 1 to 30 parts by weight of the phenolic compound (C). It is a positive photosensitive resin composition. (In the formula (1), X is selected from 3,3′-diamino-4,4′dihydroxybiphenyl and Y is selected from the following formula (3).)

Also, using the positive photosensitive resin composition described above, the positive photosensitive resin composition is applied so that the thickness after heating and curing is 0.1 to 30 μm, prebaked, exposed, developed, and heated. A semiconductor device comprising a semiconductor element.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The polyamide of formula (1) is composed of a bisaminophenol having a structure of X and a dicarboxylic acid having a structure of Y, and when this polyamide is heated at about 300 to 400 ° C., the ring is closed and changed to a heat-resistant resin called polybenzoxazole. To do.
[0013]
Among these, 3-diamino-4,4-dihydroxybiphenyl is particularly exemplified as a film having a low linear expansion coefficient after curing and exhibiting low stress.
This structure has such a structure that the resin structure after curing has linearity, the linear expansion coefficient of the cured film becomes small, and the linear expansion coefficient of the silicon wafer becomes close, so that the warpage of the wafer is reduced.
[0014]
The linear expansion coefficient of the cured resin is preferably 5 to 45 ppm. It is difficult to make the linear expansion coefficient of the cured resin smaller than 5 ppm. When the linear expansion coefficient of the cured resin exceeds 45 ppm, the substrate such as a wafer is warped. Further, in order to increase the solubility in an organic solvent, it is possible to copolymerize other diaminodihydroxy compounds to such an extent that the linear expansion coefficient does not increase.
[0015]
Y of the polyamide (1) of the present invention is, for example,

However, it is not limited to these.
[0018]
Z in the formula (1) is used, for example, when adhesion is particularly required for a substrate such as a silicon wafer, but the use ratio b can be up to 40 mol%. When it exceeds 40 mol%, the solubility of the resin is extremely lowered, scum is generated, and pattern processing cannot be performed.
In addition, when using these X, Y, and Z, they may be one kind or a mixture of two or more kinds.

[0022]
The blending amount of the photosensitive diazide quinone compound (B) in the polyamide (A) is 1 to 100 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyamide. If the blending amount is less than 1 part by weight, the resin patternability is poor. On the other hand, when the amount exceeds 100 parts by weight, the tensile elongation of the film is remarkably lowered.

As a technique for adding a phenol compound to a positive resist composition, for example, JP-A-3-200251, JP-A-3-200262, JP-A-3-200263, JP-A-3-200244, It is disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 4-1650, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 4-1651, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 4-11260, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 4-12356, and Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 4-12357. However, even if the phenol compounds as shown in these are used for the positive photosensitive resin based on the polyamide in the present invention, the effect of improving the sensitivity is small.
[0028]
However, when the phenolic compounds represented by the general formulas (4) and (5) in the present invention are used, the dissolution rate in the exposed area is increased and the sensitivity is improved. In addition, the film loss at the unexposed area as seen when the molecular weight is reduced and the sensitivity is increased is very small.
In the present invention, a positive photosensitive resin composition having improved adhesion to the sealing resin is obtained as a new characteristic by adding the phenolic compounds represented by the general formulas (4) and (5). I found out.

The compound represented by the general formula (4) or (5) is contained in the total phenol compound (C) in an amount of 50% by weight or more alone or in the form of a mixture.
[0038]
The addition amount of the phenol compound (C) is preferably 1 to 50 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyamide (A). If the added amount is less than 1 part by weight, the effect of improving the sensitivity cannot be obtained, and if the added amount exceeds 50 parts by weight, the remaining film ratio is greatly reduced, or precipitation occurs during freezing storage, resulting in lack of practicality. .

The mixture was stirred for 12 hours to complete the reaction. After filtering the reaction mixture, the reaction mixture was poured into a solution of water / methanol = 3/1, the precipitate was collected by filtration, washed thoroughly with water, dried under vacuum, and represented by the desired general formula (1). X is a mixture of the following formula X-1 and Y is a mixture of the following formulas Y-1 and Y-2 to obtain a polyamide (A-1) having a = 100 and b = 0.

By this coating film g-line stepper exposing machine NSR-1505G3A (manufactured by Nikon Corporation) through a reticle from 50 mJ / cm 2 increased 20 mJ / cm 2 increments was exposed to 540mJ / cm 2.
Next, the exposed portion was dissolved and removed by immersing in a 1.4% tetramethylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution for 60 seconds, and then rinsed with pure water for 30 seconds. As a result, it was confirmed that the pattern was formed. The residual film ratio (film thickness after development / film thickness before development) at this time was a very high value of 87.6%. Further, in the remaining pattern, no fine pattern peeling was observed, and it was confirmed that the adhesion during development was excellent.
