Description

Photosensitive resin composition, method for producing cured relief pattern, and semiconductor device

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a photosensitive resin composition used for forming a relief pattern such as an insulating material of an electronic component, a passivation film, a buffer coating film, and an interlayer insulating film in a semiconductor device, a method for producing a cured relief pattern using the photosensitive resin composition, a semiconductor device provided with a cured relief pattern, and a resin film having excellent adhesion to a polybenzoxazole resin.

Background

Resins such as polyimide having excellent heat resistance, electrical properties and mechanical properties have been used for insulating materials for electronic components, passivation films for semiconductor devices, surface protective films, interlayer insulating films and the like. Among the resins such as polyimide, a resin provided in the form of a photosensitive polyimide precursor can easily form a heat-resistant relief pattern film by thermal imidization treatment using coating, exposure, development, and curing of the precursor. The photosensitive polyimide precursor has a characteristic that the process can be significantly shortened as compared with a conventional non-photosensitive polyimide.

On the other hand, in recent years, from the viewpoints of improvement in integration and functions and reduction in chip size, methods for mounting a semiconductor device on a printed wiring board have been changed. A conventional mounting method using a metal pin and a lead-tin eutectic solder has been changed to a structure in which a resin coating such as polyimide is directly brought into contact with a solder bump, such as BGA (Ball Grid Array) and CSP (chip size Package) that can be mounted at higher density. In forming such a bump structure, the coating film needs to have high heat resistance and chemical resistance. A method of improving the heat resistance of a polyimide coating film or a polybenzoxazole coating film by adding a thermal crosslinking agent to a composition containing a polyimide precursor or a polybenzoxazole precursor is disclosed (see patent document 1).

problems to be solved by the invention

In the rewiring process of a semiconductor device, since the interlayer insulating film forming process is performed by a manufacturer of a preceding process and a manufacturer of a subsequent process, a resin film such as polyimide is often formed on a polybenzoxazole film formed in the preceding process in the subsequent process. However, in the conventional photosensitive resin composition, when an additional coating is formed on the polybenzoxazole coating, the adhesion is insufficient, and therefore, there is a problem that peeling occurs after development and curing. In addition, an adhesion promoter for improving adhesion of a resin to a Si substrate and a Cu substrate has been known in the past, but when the adhesion promoter is used, there is a problem that resolution of a relief pattern or heat resistance is deteriorated.

Further, when forming the seed layer of the metal rewiring layer, it is necessary to sputter metal on the surface of the resin without a gap. Therefore, it is desirable that the opening of the photosensitive resin pattern has a gentle positive taper from the bottom surface perpendicular to the side surface at the end of patterning, preferably a taper angle of 80 ° or less, but it is difficult to make the side surface of the opening have a positive taper at the end of patterning by using a conventional photosensitive resin composition.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive resin composition for producing a cured film having excellent adhesion to a polybenzoxazole resin, a Si substrate and a Cu substrate, high resolution and heat resistance, and a side surface of an opening having a regular tapered shape, a method for producing a cured relief pattern using the photosensitive resin composition, a semiconductor device having the cured relief pattern, and a laminate in which a resin film having excellent adhesion to a polybenzoxazole resin is laminated on a resin substrate having a glass transition temperature of 250 ℃.

(preparation of polyimide precursor)

An acid/ester compound (typically, a solution in a reaction solvent) is converted into a polysuccinimide ester by adding an appropriate dehydrating condensation agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, 1-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1, 2-dihydroquinoline, 1-carbonyldioxy-di-1, 2, 3-benzotriazole, N' -disuccinimidyl carbonate or the like to the acid/ester compound under ice cooling and mixingAcid anhydrides. Then, the preferred 2-valent organic radical Y is reacted₁The diamine (b) is dissolved or dispersed in another solvent to obtain a solution or dispersion, and the solution or dispersion is added dropwise to the polyanhydride to polycondense the amide thereof, thereby obtaining the desired photosensitive resin.

Further, in order to improve the adhesion between the photosensitive resin layer formed on the substrate by applying the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention to the substrate and various substrates, when a polyimide precursor is used as the resin of the component (a) and when A (AX) photosensitive polyimide precursor or (AY) polyimide precursor is prepared, a diaminosiloxane such as 1, 3-bis (3-aminopropyl) tetramethyldisiloxane or 1, 3-bis (3-aminopropyl) tetraphenyldisiloxane may be copolymerized.

The water-absorbing by-product of the dehydration condensation agent coexisting in the reaction solution after the completion of the amide polycondensation reaction is filtered as necessary, and then the obtained polymer component is charged with a poor solvent such as water, an aliphatic lower alcohol, or a mixture thereof to precipitate the polymer component, and further the operations of redissolution, reprecipitation and precipitation and the like are repeated to purify the polymer, followed by vacuum drying to isolate the target polyimide precursor. In order to increase the degree of purification, a solution of the polymer may be passed through a column which is swollen and packed with an anion and/or cation exchange resin with an appropriate organic solvent to remove ionic impurities.

The weight average molecular weight of the ester bond type polyimide precursor is preferably 8,000 to 150,000, and more preferably 9,000 to 50,000 in terms of polystyrene by gel permeation chromatography. When the weight average molecular weight is 8,000 or more, the mechanical properties are good, and when it is 150,000 or less, the dispersibility in a developer is good and the resolution of a relief pattern is good. As a developing solvent for gel permeation chromatography, tetrahydrofuran, and/or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone are recommended. The molecular weight was determined from a calibration curve prepared using standard monodisperse polystyrene. As the standard monodisperse polystyrene, it is preferable to select organic solvent system reference samples STANDARD SM-105 manufactured by Showa Denko K.K.

(B) photosensitive agent

As the photosensitizer (B), a compound conventionally used as a photopolymerization initiator for UV curing can be arbitrarily selected. Examples of the compound which can be suitably used as the photosensitizer (B) include benzophenone derivatives such as benzophenone, methyl o-benzoylbenzoate, 4-benzoyl-4' -methyldiphenylketone, dibenzylketone, fluorenone and the like; acetophenone derivatives such as 2, 2' -diethoxyacetophenone, 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone, and 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone; thioxanthone derivatives such as thioxanthone, 2-methylthioxanthone, 2-isopropylthioxanthone and diethylthioxanthone; benzil derivatives such as benzil (benzil), benzil dimethyl ketal, and benzil- β -methoxyethyl acetal; benzoin derivatives such as benzoin and benzoin methyl ether; oximes such as 1-phenyl-1, 2-butanedione-2- (o-methoxycarbonyl) oxime, 1-phenyl-1, 2-propanedione-2- (o-ethoxycarbonyl) oxime, 1-phenyl-1, 2-propanedione-2- (benzoyl) oxime, 1, 3-diphenylpropanetrione-2- (o-ethoxycarbonyl) oxime, and 1-phenyl-3-ethoxypropanetrione-2- (benzoyl) oxime; n-arylglycine acids such as N-phenylglycine; peroxides such as chlorobenzoyl peroxide; aromatic bisimidazoles and the like, but are not limited thereto. Further, 1 kind or a mixture of 2 or more kinds may be used. Among them, oximes are more preferable particularly from the viewpoint of sensitivity.

The oximes used as the (B) sensitizer are preferably at least 1 kind selected from the group consisting of the following (B1) and (B2):

(B1) an oxime ester compound having g-ray absorbance and h-ray absorbance of 0.2 or less and i-ray absorbance of 0.15 to 0.5 for a 0.001 wt% solution; and

(B2) An oxime ester compound having a g-ray absorbance or h-ray absorbance of 0.05 or more and an i-ray absorbance of 0.1 or less for a 0.001 wt% solution.

The absorbance of the oxime ester compound was measured by dissolving the compound in N-methylpyrrolidone at a concentration of 0.001 wt% and using a 1cm quartz cuvette and a general spectrophotometer.

Examples of the preferable compound of the component (B1) include Irgacure OXE03 (product name, manufactured by BASF corporation), Adekaoptomer NCI831 (product name, manufactured by ADEKA corporation), TR-PBG326 (product name, manufactured by Changzhou super electronic materials Co., Ltd.), HTPI426 (product name, manufactured by Heraeus Company), HTPI428 (product name, manufactured by Heraeus Company), and a mixture thereof.

When a compound having an i-ray absorbance of less than 0.15 in a 0.001 wt% solution is used as the component (B1), the absorbance is insufficient, and therefore, a large amount of an initiator needs to be added for curing. In this case, the surface of the coating film is less susceptible to oxygen inhibition, so that the surface curing degree is improved, and the openings after exposure and development are not formed into a forward tapered shape. When the i-ray absorbance exceeds 0.5 or at least one of the g-ray absorbance and the h-ray absorbance exceeds 0.2, the absorbance becomes too high, surface curing easily proceeds, and the opening after exposure and development does not have a positive cone shape.

More preferably, the component (B1) is an oxime ester compound having an i-ray absorbance of 0.15 to 0.35 in a 0.001 wt% solution, and still more preferably, the component (B1) is at least 1 selected from the group consisting of oxime ester compounds represented by the following general formulae (B11) and (B12):

In the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention, the oxime ester compound of the component (B2) also functions as a photopolymerization initiator.

(B2) The absorbance of the oxime ester compound of the component (B) can be measured in the same manner as in the case of the oxime ester compound of the component (B1).

As a preferable compound of the component (B2), for example, TR-PBG340 (product name, manufactured by Changzhou powerful New electronic Material Co., Ltd.) is mentioned.

when a compound having a g-ray absorbance and an h-ray absorbance of a 0.001 wt% solution of less than 0.05 is used as the component (B2), the absorbance is insufficient, and therefore, a large amount of an initiator needs to be added for curing. In this case, the surface of the coating film is less susceptible to oxygen inhibition, so that the surface curing degree is improved, and the openings after exposure and development are not formed into a forward tapered shape. When the i-ray absorbance exceeds 0.1, the absorbance is too high, surface curing tends to progress, and the opening after exposure and development is not positively tapered.

The total amount of the component (B1) and the component (B2) in the resin (a), the photosensitive polyimide precursor (AX), or the polyimide precursor (AY) is preferably 0.1 to 20 parts by mass, more preferably 0.5 to 5 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the resin (a). (B1) The total amount of the component (B2) and the component (a) used is 0.1 part by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of the resin (a), the photosensitive polyimide precursor (AX), or the polyimide precursor (AY), the photosensitivity is excellent, and the positive conicity is excellent when the amount is 20 parts by mass or less.

(C) At least 1 selected from the group consisting of multifunctional (meth) acrylate and low molecular weight imide compound having a molecular weight of less than 1000

(C) The component (B) is at least 1 selected from the group consisting of multifunctional (meth) acrylate and low molecular weight imide compound having a molecular weight of less than 1000. "(meth) acrylate" means either acrylate or methacrylate. (C) The component (b) may be a polymerizable monomer. The glass transition temperature of a homopolymer obtained by polymerizing only the component (C) is preferably 200 ℃ or higher.

The low molecular weight imide compound having a molecular weight of less than 1000 is preferably a maleimide represented by the following general formula (C1):

{ formula (C1), wherein R₃Is a single bond, a hydrogen atom or an organic group having a valence of 1 to 3, R₄And R₅Each independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, an aryl group, an alkoxy group or a halogen atom, and m is an integer of 1 or more }.

in formula (C1), m may be an integer of 2 or more or an integer of 3 or more.

The low molecular weight imide compound having a molecular weight of less than 1000 is more preferably maleimide represented by the following general formula (C2):

By using a low molecular weight imide compound as component (C), a cured film having excellent adhesion after development on a polybenzoxazole resin can be obtained. The mechanism of excellent adhesion after development of the relief pattern on the polybenzoxazole resin is not clearly understood, and it is presumed that in the heating step (about 100 ℃) for solvent drying at the time of forming a coating film of the relief pattern, the low molecular weight imide compound as the component (C) is accumulated with the polybenzoxazole resin and interacts with the resin interface, whereby the permeation of the developer into the interface between the coating film and the polybenzoxazole resin or the dissolution by solvation at the time of development is suppressed, and as a result, the peeling of the relief pattern can be suppressed.

Specific examples of the low molecular weight imide compound (C) include 1-phenylpyrrolidine-2, 5-dione, succinimide, N-pentylsuccinimide, 4-amino-2, 6-pyridinedione, 2,6(1H,3H) -pyridinedione, N-ethylmaleimide, fluoroimide, N-phenylmaleimide, N- (4-chlorophenyl) maleimide, N- (2-chlorophenyl) maleimide, N- (4-methylphenyl) maleimide, N- (4-ethoxyphenyl) maleimide, N-isopropylmaleimide, N-methylmaleimide, N- (2-nitrophenyl) maleimide, N- (2-methylphenyl) maleimide, N-ethylmaleimide, N-isopropylmaleimide, N-methylmaleimide, N- (2-nitrophenyl, 1- (2, 4-dimethylphenyl) -3-pyrroline-2, 5-dione, 1- (1, 1' -biphenyl-4-yl) -1H-pyrrole-2, 5-dione, N-cyclohexylmaleimide, N-butylmaleimide, 1- (hydroxymethyl) -1H-pyrrole-2, 5-dione, 3-methyl-4-vinyl-1H-pyrrole-2, 5-dione, N- (4-aminophenyl) maleimide, 3, 4-dibromo-3-pyrroline-2, 5-dione, N-benzylmaleimide, 6, 7-methylenedioxy-4-methyl-3-maleimide coumarin, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, Maleimide, 2, 3-dichloromaleimide, N- (4-hydroxyphenyl) maleimide, N- (4-acetylphenyl) maleimide, N-propylmaleimide, N- (1-pyrenyl) maleimide, N- (4-methoxyphenyl) maleimide, N- (fluoranthen-3-yl) maleimide, N- (4-vinylphenyl) maleimide, N- (m-vinylphenyl) maleimide, 4- [ (2, 5-dioxo-1-pyrrolyl) methyl ] cyclohexanecarboxylic acid succinimide, Eosin-5-maleimide (Eosin-5-maleimide), squalene maleimide, N- (2,4, 6-tribromophenyl) maleimide, N- (4-hydroxyphenyl) maleimide, N- (4-pyrenyl) maleimide, N- (4-methoxyphenyl) maleimide, N- (4-pyrenyl) maleimide, Benzophenone-4-maleimide, maleimide nitroxide radical (マレイミドニトロキシド maleimidyl nitrite), N- (3-nitrophenyl) maleimide, N- (4-nitrophenyl) maleimide, 2, 5-dioxo-3-pyrroline-1-hexanoic acid, 3- (N-maleimidopropanoyl) biocytin, N- (2, 4-dinitroaniline) maleimide, Coumarin maleimide (Coumarin maleimide), N- (4-bromophenyl) maleimide, N-isobutylmaleimide, N-tert-butylmaleimide, N-octylmaleimide, N-decylmaleimide, N-bromomethylmaleimide, N-acetylmaleimide, N-octylmaleimide, N-decylmaleimide, N-bromomethylmaleimide, N-iodomethylmaleimide, N, N-cyanomethylmaleimide, N-ethoxymethylmaleimide, N-3-nitro-4-methylbenzylmaleimide, N-aryloxymethylmaleimide (N- (Allyloxymethyl) maleimide), N-aminomethylmaleimide, N-diethylaminomethylmaleimide, N-dibutylaminomethylmaleimide, N- (1-piperidinylmethyl) maleimide, N- (1-morpholinomethyl) maleimide, N-anilinomethylmaleimide, N- (2-ethoxyethyl) maleimide, 2- (2, 5-dioxo-3-pyrrolin-1-yl) ethyl propionate, N- (2,2, 2-trifluoroethyl) maleimide, N-aminoethylmaleimide, N- (2, 2-methyl) maleimide, N-aminoethylmaleimide, N- (2, 2-ethoxymethyl) maleimide, N-aminoethylmaleimide, N, N- (methylmaleylethyl) maleimide, N- (3-acetoxypropyl) maleimide, 1- (2-hydroxypropyl) -1H-pyrrole-2, 5-dione, N-methoxymaleimide, N-acetoxymaleimide, N-benzyloxymaleimide, N-phenylsulfonylbismaleimide, N- (dimethylamino) maleimide, N-acetylaminomaleimide, N- (1-morpholinyl) maleimide, N- (phenylsulfonyl) maleimide, N-anilineimide, N '- (1, 2-phenylene) bis (maleimide), N' - (1, 3-phenylene) bis (maleimide), N, N '-ethylenebis (maleimide), 1, 6-bismaleimidohexane, N-dodecylmaleimide, N- (2-methoxyphenyl) maleimide, N- (chloromethyl) maleimide, N' - (4-methyl-1, 3-phenylene) bis (maleimide), 4 '-bismaleimidodiphenylmethane, N' - (1, 4-phenylene) bis (maleimide), polyphenylenemethanmaleimide, N '- [ sulfonylbis (4, 1-phenylene) ] bis (maleimide), N- [4- (phenylazo) phenyl ] maleimide, 1' - (2,2, 4-trimethylhexane-1, 6-diyl) bis (1H-pyrrole-2, 5-dione), 1 '- [ methylenebis (2-ethyl-6-methyl-4, 1-phenylene) ] bis (1H-pyrrole-2, 5-dione), N' - [ (1, 3-phenylene) dioxybis (3, 1-phenylene) ] bis (maleimide), N- (4-maleimidobutaneyloxy) succinimide, N- (8-maleimidooctanoyloxy) succinimide, 4- [ (2, 5-dioxo-1-pyrrolyl) methyl ] cyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid 3-thiosuccinimide, 2 ', 3, 3' -tetraphenyl-N, n '-ethylenebismaleimide, fluorescein maleimide, N' - [ nitrilotris (ethylene) ] tris (maleimide), and the like.

From the viewpoint of intermolecular interaction with the polybenzoxazole resin, the low molecular weight imide compound preferably has a cyclic structure, and more preferably has an unsaturated bond in the cyclic structure. Among the low molecular weight imide compounds having an unsaturated bond in the cyclic structure, a compound having a maleimide structure which has planarity and is readily sterically-accumulated with benzoxazole as represented by general formula (C1) or (C2) is more preferable from the viewpoint of adhesion after development on polybenzoxazole resin.

Further, among compounds having a maleimide structure, from the viewpoint of being difficult to dissolve in a developer by a crosslinking reaction, a maleimide having a valence of 2 is preferable to a maleimide having a valence of 1. In addition, maleimide having a valence of 2 is less sterically hindered than maleimide having a valence of 3, and is easily stacked with polybenzoxazole. Therefore, from the viewpoint of adhesion to the polybenzoxazole resin, bismaleimide is more preferable. Among them, bis (3-ethyl-5-methyl-4-maleimidophenyl) methane, 4' -bismaleimidodiphenylmethane, or polyphenylenemethane maleimide is more preferable from the viewpoint of suppressing shrinkage at the time of curing of the photosensitive resin composition and improving adhesion to a polyimide or polybenzoxazole resin.

When the photosensitive resin composition contains 100 parts by mass of the resin of component (A) and 0.1 to 20 parts by mass of component (B), the amount of component (C) is 1 to 40 parts by mass, preferably 10 to 35 parts by mass. (C) When the amount of the component (b) is less than 1 part by mass, the adhesion is insufficient, and when it exceeds 40 parts by mass, the cured relief pattern obtained from the composition becomes brittle, and thus it is not suitable for applications such as a passivation film, a buffer film, and an interlayer insulating film.

< method for producing cured relief Pattern and semiconductor device >

When the resin composition of the present invention is photosensitive, a method for producing a cured relief pattern comprising the following steps:

(1) A step of applying the photosensitive resin composition on a substrate to form a photosensitive resin layer on the substrate;

(2) exposing the photosensitive resin layer;

Hereinafter, typical embodiments of the respective steps will be described.

(1) Coating a photosensitive resin composition on a substrate to form a photosensitive resin layer on the substrate

In this step, the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is applied to a substrate, and thereafter, the substrate is dried as necessary to form a photosensitive resin layer. As the coating method, a method conventionally used for coating a photosensitive resin composition, for example, a method of coating with a spin coater, a bar coater, a blade coater, a curtain coater, a screen printer, or the like, a method of spray coating with a spray coater, or the like can be used.

If necessary, the coating film formed of the photosensitive resin composition may be dried, and as a drying method, a method such as air drying, heat drying by an oven or a hot plate, or vacuum drying may be used. The coating film is preferably dried under conditions that do not cause denaturation of the resin (a) in the photosensitive resin composition or imidization of the photosensitive polyimide precursor (AX) or the polyimide precursor (polyamic acid ester) of the (AY). Specifically, when the drying is carried out by air drying or heating, the drying may be carried out at 20 to 140 ℃ for 1 minute to 1 hour. The photosensitive resin layer can be formed on the substrate as described above.

(2) Exposing the photosensitive resin layer

In this step, the photosensitive resin layer formed in the above-described step is exposed directly or through a photomask or a reticle (reticle) having a pattern by an ultraviolet light source or the like using an exposure device such as a contact exposure machine, a mirror projection exposure machine, or a stepper.

Thereafter, for the purpose of improving the sensitivity and the like, post-exposure baking (PEB) and/or pre-development baking based on an arbitrary combination of temperature and time may be performed as necessary. The baking conditions are preferably in the range of 40 to 120 ℃ and 10 to 240 seconds, and are not limited to this range as long as the properties of the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention are not impaired.

(3) developing the exposed photosensitive resin layer to form a relief pattern

In this step, the unexposed portion of the exposed photosensitive resin layer is removed by development. As a developing method for developing the photosensitive resin layer after exposure (irradiation), any method can be selected from conventionally known developing methods for photoresists, for example, a spin spray method, a stirring method, a dipping method with ultrasonic treatment, and the like. After the development, post-development baking may be performed at any combination of temperature and time as necessary for the purpose of adjusting the shape of the relief pattern.

The developing solution used for development is preferably a good solvent for the photosensitive resin composition or a combination of the good solvent and a poor solvent. The good solvent is preferably N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-cyclohexyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-dimethylacetamide, cyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, γ -butyrolactone, α -acetyl- γ -butyrolactone, or the like, and the poor solvent is preferably toluene, xylene, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, ethyl lactate, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, water, or the like.

Further, each solvent may be used in combination of 2 or more, for example, plural kinds.

(4) Subjecting the relief pattern to heat treatment to form a cured relief pattern

In this step, the relief pattern obtained by the above-described development is heated to disperse the photosensitive component, and the (a) resin, (AX) photosensitive polyimide precursor, or (AY) polyimide precursor is heated and cured to be converted into a cured relief pattern. As a method of heat curing, various methods such as a method using a hot plate, a method using an oven, and a method using a temperature-raising oven capable of setting a temperature program can be selected. The heating may be performed, for example, at 200 to 400 ℃ for 30 minutes to 5 hours. As an atmosphere gas for heat curing, air may be used, or an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon may be used.

< semiconductor device >

A semiconductor device having the cured relief pattern obtained by the method for manufacturing a cured relief pattern described above can also be provided. More specifically, a semiconductor device having a substrate as a semiconductor element and a cured relief pattern of polyimide formed on the substrate by the above-described method for producing a cured relief pattern can be provided. The present invention can also be applied to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method including: the method for producing a cured relief pattern includes the steps of using a semiconductor device as a substrate and forming the cured relief pattern as a part of the steps. The semiconductor device of the present invention can be manufactured by forming a cured relief pattern as a surface protective film, an interlayer insulating film, a rewiring insulating film, a flip chip device protective film, a protective film of a semiconductor device having a bump structure, or the like, by the above-described method for manufacturing a cured relief pattern, and combining the method for manufacturing a cured relief pattern with a known method for manufacturing a semiconductor device.

< resin film >

The component (A) contains at least 1 resin selected from the group consisting of polyamic acid as a polyimide precursor, polyamic acid ester, polyamic acid salt, polyamic acid amide, polyhydroxyamide as a polyoxazole precursor, polyaminoamide, polyamide, polyamideimide, polyimide, polybenzoxazole, polybenzimidazole, polybenzthiazole, and phenol resin, and has a crosslinking density of 1.0X 10^-4mol/cm³Above and 3.0X 10^-3mol/cm³hereinafter, a resin film having a 5% weight loss temperature of 250 ℃ or more and 400 ℃ or less is also one of the embodiments of the present invention.

the component (a) contained in the resin film may be the same as the resin described as the photosensitive resin composition or the component (a) contained in the resin composition. From the viewpoint of adhesion to polybenzoxazole resins, component (a) is preferably at least 1 resin selected from the group consisting of polyamic acids, polyamic acid esters, polyamic acid salts, polyamic acid amides, polyamides, polyamideimides, polyimides, polybenzoxazoles, polybenzimidazoles, and polybenzthiazoles. The component (a) is contained in the resin film preferably at least 50 mass%, more preferably at least 70 mass%, based on the total mass of all the components constituting the resin film. A resin other than the a component may be contained in the resin film as needed.

The weight average molecular weight of the resin contained in the resin film is preferably 1,000 or more, more preferably 5,000 or more, in terms of polystyrene based on gel permeation chromatography, from the viewpoint of heat resistance and mechanical properties after heat treatment. The upper limit of the weight average molecular weight is preferably 100,000 or less.

The crosslinking density is 1cm³The number of moles of chemically cross-linked functional groups contained in the resin film. Crosslinking is achieved by: a method of copolymerizing a monomer having a crosslinkable functional group with the component (A) to react the crosslinkable functional groups with each other; a method in which a crosslinking agent for causing a chemical crosslinking reaction with component (A) is added to component (A) and the molecular chains of component (A) are crosslinked with each other through the crosslinking agent; the polyfunctional monomer is added to the component (A) to make the polyfunctional monomerA method capable of crosslinking the monomers with each other, and the like. In the case where crosslinking is caused in the resin, the storage modulus above the glass transition temperature increases depending on the crosslinking density. In this case, when the elasticity is caused only by the ideal rubber elasticity, the following relationship is known to hold between the crosslinking density and the storage modulus:

n＝E’/3RT

{ n: crosslinking density, E': storage modulus, R: gas constant, T: absolute temperature }.

Therefore, in the case of an ideal rubber elastomer, the crosslinking density can be determined by measuring the storage modulus of the resin film at a temperature equal to or higher than the glass transition temperature. The storage modulus at a temperature equal to or higher than the glass transition temperature can be measured, for example, using a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring apparatus. However, since a realistic elastomer is not an ideal rubber elastomer, the relationship is not necessarily strictly established between the crosslinking density and the storage modulus. In this case, for example, when the increase in storage modulus at a temperature not lower than the glass transition temperature is confirmed using a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring apparatus, and the number of crosslinkable functional groups contained in the resin film and the reaction rate thereof are determined by a spectroscopic method, the crosslinking density can be calculated from them.

The resin film used in the present invention has a crosslinking density of 1.0X 10^-4mol/cm³Above and 3.0X 10^-3mol/cm³hereinafter, it is preferably 3.0 × 10^-4mol/cm³Above and 2.0X 10^-3mol/cm³The following. Crosslinking density less than 1.0X 10^-4mol/cm³In the case of this method, the adhesion between the resin film and the polybenzoxazole resin is insufficient. The crosslinking density is more than 3.0 x 10^-3mol/cm³In the case of the above, the resin film becomes brittle, and is not suitable for the applications such as a passivation film, a buffer coating film, and an interlayer insulating film, which are assumed in the present invention.

The 5% weight loss temperature was determined by heating at a rate of 10 ℃/min under nitrogen using a thermogravimetric apparatus. When the 5% weight loss temperature is less than 250 ℃, the heat resistance is too low, and the film is not suitable for the applications such as a passivation film, a buffer coating film, and an interlayer insulating film, which are assumed in the present invention. When the 5% weight loss temperature exceeds 400 ℃, the adhesion to the polybenzoxazole resin is insufficient.

The resin film is obtained by applying a solution in which a component that is a precursor of the resin film is dissolved, for example, on a substrate, and heating the solution at a temperature of 250 ℃. There may be an exposure process before heating. In this case, the resin film is formed on the substrate including the resin substrate having a glass transition temperature of 250 ℃ or lower by setting the heating temperature to 250 ℃ or lower, or the resin film is formed on the substrate including the resin substrate having a glass transition temperature of 200 ℃ or lower by setting the heating temperature to 200 ℃ or lower, whereby a laminate can be obtained.

The resin composition of the present invention is useful for applications such as interlayer insulation of multilayer circuits, cover sheets of flexible copper clad laminates, solder resist films, and liquid crystal alignment films, in addition to the semiconductor devices described above.

The film thickness was measured using a Tencor P-15 type level difference meter (manufactured by KLA-Tencor Japan Ltd.).
