Description

Protective film forming film, composite sheet for forming protective film, and method for producing chip with protective film
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a protective film forming film, a composite sheet for forming a protective film, and a method for manufacturing a chip with a protective film.
The present application claims priority based on Japanese patent application No. 2021-055012, filed in Japan on 3/29/2021, and the contents thereof are incorporated herein.
Background
Wafers such as semiconductor wafers and insulator wafers include a wafer having a circuit formed on one surface (circuit surface) thereof and further having bump electrodes such as bumps (bumps) on the surface (circuit surface). Such a wafer can be divided into chips and mounted on a circuit board by connecting its projecting electrodes to connection pads (connection pads) on the circuit board.
In such a wafer or chip, in order to suppress damage such as cracking, a surface (back surface) opposite to a circuit surface may be protected by a protective film.
In order to form such a protective film, a protective film forming film for forming a protective film is attached to the back surface of the wafer. The protective film forming film may be used in a state of being laminated on a support sheet for supporting the protective film forming composite sheet, or may be used without being laminated on the support sheet. Next, the wafer having the protective film forming film on the back surface is processed into chips having the protective film on the back surface (chips with the protective film) through various subsequent steps. Such chips with protective films are mounted on a circuit board after being picked up, thereby constituting various substrate devices (e.g., semiconductor devices).
In the protective film forming film, there is a non-curable protective film forming film which does not have curability and functions as a protective film in its original state. When a film is formed using a non-curable protective film, a chip with a protective film can be manufactured at low cost by a simplified method since a curing step is not required. On the other hand, when a curable protective film is used to form a film, the cured product thereof is used as a protective film, and therefore, there is an advantage that the wafer protective performance is high. In addition, a thermosetting protective film forming film cured by heating has a long heating time at the time of curing, but an energy ray-curable protective film forming film cured by irradiation with an energy ray has an advantage that irradiation with an energy ray at the time of curing can be completed in a short time. Therefore, various energy ray-curable protective film-forming films have been developed (see patent document 1).

Disclosure of Invention
Technical problems to be solved by the invention
However, regardless of the presence or absence of curability of the protective film forming film, the protective film may be peeled from the wafer or chip as an adherend after being attached to the back surface of the wafer and after the final formation of various substrate devices. For example, when the wafer is divided into chips, when the protective film is cut to a chip size, when the chip with the protective film is picked up, and in the substrate device, the protective film may be peeled off from the wafer or the chip. When the protective film forming film is curable, there is also a possibility that the protective film is peeled off from the wafer or the chip at the time of curing thereof.
Therefore, if the peeling can be suppressed in the energy ray-curable protective film formation film, the utility will be higher.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a protective film forming film that is an energy ray-curable protective film forming film and that can suppress the peeling of a protective film from a wafer or a chip after the protective film is formed from the protective film attached to the wafer, a protective film forming composite sheet provided with the protective film forming film, and a method for manufacturing a chip with a protective film using the protective film forming film or the protective film forming composite sheet.

The protective film-forming film of the present invention may further contain a polyfunctional urethane (meth) acrylate oligomer as the energy ray-curable component (a).
The present invention provides a composite sheet for forming a protective film, which comprises a support sheet and a protective film forming film provided on one surface of the support sheet, wherein the protective film forming film is the protective film forming film of the present invention.

That is, the illuminance was 200mW/cm 2 The light quantity was 300mJ/cm 2 Under the conditions (1), a laminate of a plurality of protective film forming films having a thickness of 50 μm was irradiated with ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 365nm twice from each of both sides thereof to cure the protective film forming films, thereby obtaining a protective film test piece (herein, it may be simply referred to as "protective film test piece"), two positions of the protective film test piece were held with a space of 20mm, and the storage modulus E ' of the protective film test piece was measured between the two positions in a temperature range of 0 to 300 ℃ under measurement conditions of a tensile mode having a frequency of 11Hz and a temperature rise rate of 3 ℃/min, and the storage modulus E ' of the protective film test piece at 130 ℃ at this time ' 130 Preferably 5MPa or more, more preferably 8MPa or more, and still more preferably 10MPa or more. By making the storage modulus E' 130 If the lower limit value is higher than the above-described lower limit value, the protective effect of the protective film on the object to be attached (wafer) is further enhanced.
The storage modulus E' 130 The upper limit of (3) is not particularly limited. For example, storage modulus E' 130 A protective film having 3000MPa or less can be produced easily, and has more excellent characteristics.
The length of the protective film test piece in the tensile direction in the tensile mode is not particularly limited as long as the measurement accuracy of the storage modulus E' is not impaired, but is preferably 30mm or more.
In the measurement of the storage modulus E' of the protective film test piece, the temperature of the test piece is preferably raised at a constant rate.
When the storage modulus E' of the protective film test piece is measured, the Amplitude is preferably 5 μm.
The storage modulus E 'of the protective film-forming test piece and the protective film test piece (in other words, the storage modulus E' of the protective film-forming film and the protective film) can be adjusted by adjusting the kind and content of components contained in the protective film-forming composition described later, particularly the acrylic resin (b) having no energy ray-curable group, the energy ray-curable component (a), the inorganic filler (d), and the like.
For example, the storage modulus E' of the test piece of the protective film forming film can be reduced by increasing the content of a low molecular weight component, which is a polymer component such as the energy ray-curable component (a) described later, in the protective film forming film. In addition, by increasing the content of the inorganic filler (d) described later in the protective film forming film, the storage modulus E' of the protective film forming film test piece can also be reduced.
On the other hand, by increasing the content of the energy ray-curable component (a) described later in the protective film forming film, the storage modulus E' of the protective film test piece can be increased. In addition, the storage modulus E' of the protective film test piece can also be increased by reducing the content of the inorganic filler (d) described later in the protective film forming film.
The protective film forming film may be composed of one layer (single layer) or may be composed of a plurality of layers of two or more layers. When the protective film forming film is composed of a plurality of layers, these plurality of layers may be the same as each other or different from each other, and the combination of these plurality of layers is not particularly limited.
In the present specification, not only the protective film forming film, "a plurality of layers may be the same or different from each other" means "all layers may be the same or different from each other, or only some layers may be the same", and further "a plurality of layers are different from each other" means "at least one of the constituent material and the thickness of each layer is different from each other".
The thickness of the protective film forming film is preferably 1 to 100 μm, more preferably 3 to 80 μm, and particularly preferably 5 to 60 μm. When the thickness of the protective film forming film is not less than the lower limit value, a protective film having higher protective performance can be formed. By making the thickness of the protective film forming film equal to or less than the upper limit value, the thickness of the chip with the protective film can be prevented from becoming excessively thick.
Here, the "thickness of the protective film forming film" refers to the thickness of the entire protective film forming film, and for example, the thickness of the protective film forming film composed of a plurality of layers refers to the total thickness of all the layers constituting the protective film forming film.
< composition for Forming protective film >
The protective film forming film can be formed using an energy ray-curable composition for forming a protective film (in this specification, it may be simply referred to as "a composition for forming a protective film") containing a constituent material of the protective film forming film. For example, the protective film-forming film can be formed by applying the protective film-forming composition to the surface to be formed and drying it as necessary. The content ratio between the components that do not vaporize at ordinary temperature in the composition for forming a protective film is generally the same as the content ratio between the components in the protective film forming film. In the present specification, "normal temperature" refers to a temperature at which cooling or heating is not particularly performed, that is, a normal temperature, and includes, for example, a temperature of 18 to 28 ℃.
In the protective film forming film, the ratio of the total content of one or two or more of the components contained in the protective film forming film, which will be described later, to the total mass of the protective film forming film is not more than 100 mass%.
Similarly, in the composition for forming a protective film, the ratio of the total content of one or two or more of the components to be described later in the composition for forming a protective film to the total mass of the composition for forming a protective film is not more than 100% by mass.
The coating of the composition for forming a protective film may be carried out by a known method, and examples thereof include methods using various coating machines such as a knife coater, a blade coater, a bar coater, a gravure coater, a roll coater, a curtain coater, a die coater, a knife coater (knife coater), a screen coater, a meyer bar coater, and a kiss coater.
The drying conditions of the protective film-forming composition are not particularly limited. However, when the composition for forming a protective film contains a solvent described later, it is preferably dried by heating. The protective film-forming composition containing a solvent is preferably dried by heating at 70 to 130 ℃ for 10 seconds to 5 minutes, for example. However, it is preferable that the composition for forming a protective film having thermosetting properties is dried by heating so that the composition itself and the thermosetting protective film-forming film formed from the composition are not thermally cured.

For example, when the crosslinking agent is a polyisocyanate compound, the functional group includes a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, an amino group, and the like, and among them, a hydroxyl group having high reactivity with an isocyanate group is preferable. When the crosslinking agent is an epoxy compound, examples of the functional group include a carboxyl group and an amino group, and among them, a carboxyl group having high reactivity with an epoxy group is preferable. However, from the viewpoint of preventing the circuit of the wafer or chip from corroding, the functional group is preferably a group other than a carboxyl group.

More specifically, the acrylic resin (b) having the functional group includes, for example, an acrylic resin obtained by polymerizing one or more monomers selected from the group consisting of the glycidyl group-containing (meth) acrylate, the hydroxyl group-containing (meth) acrylate, the substituted amino group-containing (meth) acrylate, the carboxyl group-containing (meth) acrylate, the amino group-containing (meth) acrylate, and a monomer having a structure in which one or two or more hydrogen atoms in the non-acrylic monomer are substituted with the functional group.

By setting the weight average molecular weight of the acrylic resin (b) to the upper limit or less, the effect of suppressing the peeling of the protective film from the wafer or chip becomes higher.
The lower limit of the weight average molecular weight of the acrylic resin (b) is not particularly limited. For example, the weight average molecular weight of the acrylic resin (b) is preferably 10000 or more from the viewpoint that the film forming property of the composition (IV) is further improved.
The weight average molecular weight of the acrylic resin (b) can be appropriately adjusted within a range set by arbitrarily combining any of the lower limit values and any of the upper limit values.

The upper limit of the degree of dispersion of the acrylic resin (b) is not particularly limited. For example, the degree of dispersion of the acrylic resin (b) is preferably 6 or less from the viewpoint of suppressing the transfer of the low-molecular-weight acrylic resin (b).
The degree of dispersion of the acrylic resin (b) can be appropriately adjusted within a range set by arbitrarily combining any of the lower limit values and the upper limit value described above. For example, in one embodiment, the dispersion degree of the acrylic resin (b) is preferably more than 3.0 and 6 or less, more preferably 3.1 to 6, and may be, for example, any one of 3.4 to 6 and 3.7 to 6. However, these ranges are only one example of the degree of dispersion of the acrylic resin (b).
As the acrylic resin (b), for example, acrylic resins having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) in any one range of 1100000 or less, 1000000 or less, 800000 or less, and 600000 or less, and a dispersity of 3.0 or more, 3.1 or more, 3.4 or more, and 3.7 or more can be cited.

In the composition (IV), the upper limit value of the proportion of the content of the acrylic resin (b) to the total content of all the components except the solvent (i.e., the proportion of the content of the acrylic resin (b) in the protective film forming film to the total mass of the protective film forming film) is not particularly limited. The ratio is preferably 25 mass% or less from the viewpoint of well-balanced performance of the property of suppressing peeling of the protective film from the wafer or the chip and the properties other than the property.
In the composition (IV), the ratio of the content of the acrylic resin (b) to the total content of all the components except the solvent (i.e., the ratio of the content of the acrylic resin (b) in the protective film-forming film to the total mass of the protective film-forming film) may be appropriately adjusted within a range set by arbitrarily combining any of the lower limit value and the upper limit value described above. For example, in one embodiment, the ratio is preferably 8 to 25% by mass, more preferably 10 to 25% by mass, and may be in any range of 12 to 25% by mass and 14 to 25% by mass. However, these ranges are only one example of the ratios.

For example, by optimizing the thermal expansion coefficient of the protective film with respect to the object to be formed with the protective film, the reliability of the package formed by forming the film using the protective film is further improved. Further, by using the protective film forming film containing the inorganic filler (d), the moisture absorption rate of a cured product (for example, a protective film) of the protective film forming film can be reduced, and the heat release property can be improved.

By adjusting the light transmittance in this manner, for example, the visibility of printing when laser printing is performed on the protective film forming film or the protective film can be adjusted. In addition, the design of the protective film can be improved, and the polishing trace on the back surface of the wafer is not easily found.

As the epoxy resin (h1), an epoxy resin having an unsaturated hydrocarbon group can be used. The epoxy resin having an unsaturated hydrocarbon group has higher compatibility with the acrylic resin than the epoxy resin having no unsaturated hydrocarbon group. Therefore, by using the epoxy resin having an unsaturated hydrocarbon group, the reliability of the chip with the protective film obtained by using the composite sheet for forming a protective film is improved.
Examples of the epoxy resin having an unsaturated hydrocarbon group include compounds in which a part of epoxy groups of a polyfunctional epoxy resin is converted into a group having an unsaturated hydrocarbon group.

Examples of the unsaturated hydrocarbon group in the thermosetting agent (h2) include the same groups as those in the unsaturated hydrocarbon group-containing epoxy resin.
When a phenol-based curing agent is used as the thermosetting agent (h2), the thermosetting agent (h2) having a high softening point or glass transition temperature is preferable in terms of improving the peelability of the protective film when peeled from the support sheet.
Among the heat curing agents (h2), for example, the number average molecular weight of the resin component such as a polyfunctional phenol resin, a novolak phenol resin, a dicyclopentadiene phenol resin, an aralkyl phenol resin is preferably 300 to 30000, more preferably 400 to 10000, and particularly preferably 500 to 3000.
The molecular weight of the non-resin component such as biphenol and dicyandiamide in the thermosetting agent (h2) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 60 to 500, for example.
The heat-curing agent (h2) contained in the composition (IV) and the protective film-forming film may be one type, two or more types, and when two or more types are used, the combination and ratio thereof may be arbitrarily selected.
When the thermosetting component (h) is used, the content of the thermosetting agent (h2) is preferably 0.1 to 100 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the content of the epoxy resin (h1) in the composition (IV) and the protective film-forming film. By setting the content of the thermosetting agent (h2) to the lower limit value or more, curing of the protective film forming film is more easily performed. When the content of the thermosetting agent (h2) is not more than the upper limit, the moisture absorption rate of the protective film forming film decreases, and the reliability of the package obtained by using the chip with the protective film further increases.
When the thermosetting component (h) is used, the content of the thermosetting component (h) (for example, the total content of the epoxy resin (h1) and the thermosetting agent (h 2)) is preferably 5 to 120 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the content of the acrylic resin (b) in the composition (IV) and the protective film-forming film. When the content of the thermosetting component (h) is in the above range, for example, the adhesive force between the cured product of the protective film forming film and the supporting sheet is suppressed, and the releasability of the supporting sheet is improved.

The general-purpose additive (z) may be any known additive, and may be arbitrarily selected according to the purpose, and is not particularly limited. Examples of the preferable general-purpose additive (z) include a plasticizer, an antistatic agent, an antioxidant, a getter agent, and an ultraviolet absorber.

When the general-purpose additive (z) is used, the content of the general-purpose additive (z) in the composition (IV) and the protective film-forming film is not particularly limited and may be appropriately selected according to the purpose.
For example, when the general-purpose additive (z) is an ultraviolet absorber, in the composition (IV), the proportion of the content of the general-purpose additive (z) (ultraviolet absorber) to the total content of all the components except the solvent (i.e., the proportion of the content of the general-purpose additive (z) (ultraviolet absorber) in the protective film forming film to the total mass of the protective film forming film) is preferably 0.1 to 5% by mass. By setting the ratio to the lower limit or more, the effect by using the general-purpose additive (z) can be more remarkably obtained. By setting the ratio to the upper limit or lower, the excessive use of the general-purpose additive (z) can be suppressed.

The ratio is preferably 90 mass% or less from the viewpoint of well-balanced performance of the property of suppressing peeling of the protective film from the wafer or the chip and the properties other than the property.
In the composition (IV), the ratio of the total content of the components not belonging to the inorganic filler (d) and the solvent to the content of the inorganic filler (d) (that is, the ratio of the total content of the components other than the inorganic filler (d) to the content of the inorganic filler (d) in the protective film forming film) may be appropriately adjusted within a range set by arbitrarily combining any of the lower limit and the upper limit described above.

The substrate may be composed of one layer (single layer) or a plurality of layers of two or more layers, and when composed of a plurality of layers, these plurality of layers may be the same as or different from each other, and the combination of these plurality of layers is not particularly limited.
The thickness of the base material is preferably 50 to 300 μm, and more preferably 60 to 100 μm. By setting the thickness of the base material within the above range, the flexibility and the attachment adaptability to the wafer of the composite sheet for forming a protective film are further improved.
The "thickness of the substrate" refers to the thickness of the entire substrate, and for example, the thickness of the substrate composed of a plurality of layers refers to the total thickness of all the layers constituting the substrate.
The base material may contain various known additives such as a filler, a colorant, an antioxidant, an organic lubricant, a catalyst, and a softener (plasticizer) in addition to the main constituent material such as the resin.
The substrate is preferably transparent, and may be colored according to the purpose, and other layers may be deposited.
In the present embodiment in which the protective film-forming film has energy ray curability, the substrate is preferably transmissive to energy rays.

The adhesive layer may be composed of one layer (single layer) or a plurality of layers of two or more layers, and in the case of being composed of a plurality of layers, these plurality of layers may be the same as or different from each other, and the combination of these plurality of layers is not particularly limited.

For example, by curing an energy ray-curable adhesive layer before picking up a chip with a protective film described later, the chip with the protective film can be picked up more easily.
The adhesive layer can be formed using an adhesive composition containing an adhesive. For example, an adhesive agent layer can be formed at a target site by applying an adhesive agent composition to a surface to be formed of the adhesive agent layer and drying the composition as necessary. The content ratio between the components that do not vaporize at ordinary temperature in the adhesive composition is generally the same as the content ratio between the components in the adhesive layer.

When the adhesive layer is provided on the substrate, for example, the adhesive composition may be applied to the substrate and dried as necessary. For example, the adhesive layer may be laminated on the substrate by applying an adhesive composition to a release film and drying the adhesive composition as necessary to form an adhesive layer on the release film and bonding an exposed surface of the adhesive layer to one surface of the substrate. The release film in this case may be removed at any time during the production or use of the composite sheet for forming a protective film.

In the adhesive composition (I-2) or (I-3), the content of the crosslinking agent is preferably 0.01 to 50 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the content of the adhesive resin (I-2 a).
[ photopolymerization initiator ]
The adhesive compositions (I-1), (I-2) and (I-3) (hereinafter, these adhesive compositions will be collectively referred to as "adhesive compositions (I-1) to (I-3)") may further contain a photopolymerization initiator. The adhesive compositions (I-1) to (I-3) containing a photopolymerization initiator can sufficiently undergo a curing reaction even when irradiated with a relatively low-energy ray such as ultraviolet ray.
Examples of the photopolymerization initiator include the same photopolymerization initiators as the photopolymerization initiator (c).
The adhesive compositions (I-1) to (I-3) may contain only one kind of photopolymerization initiator, or may contain two or more kinds of photopolymerization initiators, and when the number of kinds of photopolymerization initiators is two or more, the combination and ratio thereof may be arbitrarily selected.
In the adhesive composition (I-1), the content of the photopolymerization initiator is preferably 0.01 to 20 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the content of the energy ray-curable compound.

In the adhesive composition (I-3), the content of the photopolymerization initiator is preferably 0.01 to 20 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the total content of the adhesive resin (I-2a) and the energy ray-curable compound.
[ other additives ]
The adhesive compositions (I-1) to (I-4) may contain other additives not included in any of the above components within a range not impairing the effects of the present embodiment.
Examples of the other additives include known additives such as antistatic agents, antioxidants, softening agents (plasticizers), fillers, rust inhibitors, coloring agents (pigments and dyes), sensitizers, tackifiers, reaction retarders, and crosslinking accelerators (catalysts).
The reaction retarder is a component that suppresses the occurrence of unintended cross-linking reactions in the adhesive compositions (I-1) to (I-4) during storage, for example, due to the action of the catalyst mixed in the adhesive compositions (I-1) to (I-4). Examples of the reaction retarder include a reaction retarder which forms a chelate complex (chelate complex) by a chelate compound corresponding to a catalyst, and more specifically, a reaction retarder having two or more carbonyl groups (-C (═ O) -) in one molecule.
The other additives contained in the adhesive compositions (I-1) to (I-4) may be only one type, or two or more types, and when two or more types are contained, the combination and ratio thereof may be arbitrarily selected.
The content of other additives in the adhesive compositions (I-1) to (I-4) is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately selected depending on the kind thereof.
[ solvent ]
The adhesive compositions (I-1) to (I-4) may contain a solvent. By adding the solvents to the adhesive compositions (I-1) to (I-4), the coating suitability to the surface to be coated is improved.
The solvent is preferably an organic solvent, and examples of the organic solvent include ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone and acetone; esters (carboxylic acid esters) such as ethyl acetate; ethers such as tetrahydrofuran and dioxane; aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane and n-hexane; aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene; alcohols such as 1-propanol and 2-propanol.
The adhesive compositions (I-1) to (I-4) may contain only one solvent, or may contain two or more solvents, and when two or more solvents are contained, the combination and ratio thereof may be arbitrarily selected.
The content of the solvent in the adhesive compositions (I-1) to (I-4) is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately adjusted.
Method for preparing O adhesive composition
The adhesive compositions such as the adhesive compositions (I-1) to (I-4) can be obtained by blending the adhesive with components other than the adhesive, which are blended as necessary, for each component constituting the adhesive composition.
The adhesive composition can be prepared, for example, by the same method as the above-described composition for forming a protective film, except that the kind of blending component is different.
Manufacturing method of composite sheet for protective film formation
The composite sheet for forming a protective film can be produced by laminating the above layers so that the layers are in a corresponding positional relationship, and adjusting the shape of part or all of the layers as necessary. The formation method of each layer is as described above.
For example, when an adhesive layer is laminated on a substrate in the production of a support sheet, the adhesive composition may be applied to the substrate and dried as necessary.
In addition, the adhesive layer can be laminated on the substrate by a method in which the adhesive composition is applied to the release film and dried as necessary to form the adhesive layer on the release film and the exposed surface of the adhesive layer is bonded to one surface of the substrate. In this case, the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is preferably applied to the release-treated surface of the release film.
The case where an adhesive agent layer is laminated on a substrate has been exemplified so far, but the above-described method can be applied to, for example, a case where a layer other than the adhesive agent layer is laminated on a substrate.
On the other hand, for example, when a protective film forming film is further laminated on an adhesive layer laminated on a substrate, a protective film forming composition can be applied on the adhesive layer to directly form a protective film forming film. A layer other than the protective film forming film can also be laminated on the adhesive layer in the same manner using the composition for forming the layer. Thus, when a new layer (hereinafter, simply referred to as "second layer") is formed on any one of the layers already laminated on the base material (hereinafter, simply referred to as "first layer") to form a continuous two-layer laminated structure (in other words, a laminated structure of the first layer and the second layer), a method of coating the composition for forming the second layer on the first layer and drying it as necessary can be applied.
The second layer is preferably formed on a release film in advance using a composition for forming the layer, and an exposed surface of the formed second layer on the side opposite to the side in contact with the release film is bonded to an exposed surface of the first layer to form a continuous two-layer laminated structure. In this case, the composition is preferably applied to the release-treated surface of the release film. After the laminated structure is formed, the release film may be removed as necessary.
However, the target laminated structure can be arbitrarily selected, for example, a laminated structure in a case where a layer (film) other than the protective film forming film is laminated on the adhesive agent layer.
In this manner, since the layers other than the base material constituting the composite sheet for forming a protective film can be laminated by a method of forming the layers on the release film in advance and bonding the layers to the surface of the target layer, the composite sheet for forming a protective film can be produced by appropriately selecting the layers in the above steps as necessary.
The composite sheet for forming a protective film is usually stored in a state where a release film is bonded to the surface of the outermost layer (for example, a protective film forming film) on the side opposite to the support sheet of the composite sheet for forming a protective film. Therefore, by applying a composition for forming the outermost layer, such as a composition for forming a protective film, to the release film (preferably, the release-treated surface thereof) and drying it as necessary, the outermost layer is formed on the release film, and by any of the above methods, the remaining layers are laminated on the exposed surface of the layer on the side opposite to the side in contact with the release film, and the release film is bonded without removing the release film, whereby a composite sheet for forming a protective film with a release film can be obtained.
Manufacturing method of chip with protective film (protective film forming film and use method of composite sheet for protective film formation)
The protective film-forming film and the protective film-forming composite sheet are useful for the production of the chip with a protective film.
That is, a method for manufacturing a chip with a protective film according to an embodiment of the present invention is a method for manufacturing a chip with a protective film including a chip and a protective film provided on a back surface of the chip, the method including: a step (which may be referred to as "bonding step" in this specification) of bonding the protective film forming film according to the embodiment of the present invention to the back surface of a wafer to prepare a first laminated film in which the protective film forming film and the wafer are laminated in the thickness direction thereof, or bonding the protective film forming film of the composite sheet for forming a protective film according to the embodiment of the present invention to the back surface of a wafer to prepare a first laminated composite sheet in which the support sheet, the protective film forming film and the wafer are laminated in this order in the thickness direction thereof; a step (which may be referred to as a "curing step" in the present specification) of forming the protective film by energy ray curing the protective film-forming film in the first laminated film or the first laminated composite sheet, and producing a second laminated film formed by laminating the protective film and the wafer in the thickness direction thereof, or producing a second laminated composite sheet formed by laminating the backup sheet, the protective film, and the wafer in this order in the thickness direction thereof; a step (which may be referred to as a "dividing step" in this specification) of dividing the wafer in the second laminated film and cutting the protective film in a state where a dicing sheet is provided on the protective film side of the second laminated film to produce a third laminated film in which a plurality of chips with protective films are fixed to the dicing sheet, or dividing the wafer in the second laminated composite sheet and cutting the protective film to produce a third laminated composite sheet in which a plurality of chips with protective films are fixed to the support sheet; and a step of picking up the chip with the protective film by pulling the chip with the protective film in the third laminated composite film away from the dicing sheet or pulling the chip with the protective film in the third laminated composite sheet away from the support sheet (in this specification, it may be referred to as a "picking-up step").
Hereinafter, a method for manufacturing a chip with a protective film (hereinafter, referred to as "manufacturing method 1" in some cases) when a protective film forming film that does not form a composite sheet for forming a protective film is attached to the back surface of a wafer, and a method for manufacturing a chip with a protective film (hereinafter, referred to as "manufacturing method 2" in some cases) when a protective film forming film in a composite sheet for forming a protective film is attached to the back surface of a wafer will be described in order with reference to the drawings.
< manufacturing method 1>
Fig. 6A to 6E are sectional views for schematically explaining the manufacturing method 1. The manufacturing method 1 will be described, taking as an example the case of forming the film 13 using the protective film shown in fig. 1.
In the sticking step of the manufacturing method 1, as shown in fig. 6A, the protective film forming film 13 is stuck to the back surface 9b of the wafer 9, thereby manufacturing a first laminated film 601 in which the protective film forming film 13 and the wafer 9 are laminated in the thickness direction thereof. A first surface 13a of a protective film forming film 13 is attached to the back surface 9b of the wafer 9. The second peeling film 152 is provided on the second face 13b of the protective film forming film 13.
Here, the case where the first release film 151 is removed from the protective film forming film 13 shown in fig. 1 and the first surface 13a of the protective film forming film 13 is attached to the back surface 9b of the wafer 9 is shown, but the second release film 152 may be removed from the protective film forming film 13 shown in fig. 1 and the second surface 13b of the protective film forming film 13 is attached to the back surface 9b of the wafer 9.
The protective film forming film 13 can be attached to the wafer 9 by a known method. For example, the protective film forming film 13 may be attached to the wafer 9 while being heated.
Next, in the curing step of the manufacturing method 1, the protective film 13 'is formed by curing the protective film forming film 13 in the first laminated film 601 with an energy ray, and thereby a second laminated film 602 in which the protective film 13' and the wafer 9 are laminated in the thickness direction thereof is manufactured as shown in fig. 6B. The symbol 13a 'denotes a surface of the protective film 13' that has once been the first surface 13a of the protective film forming film 13 (in this specification, sometimes referred to as "first surface"). Symbol 13b 'represents a protective film 13'
The surface (in this specification, sometimes referred to as "second surface") that once serves as the second surface 13b of the protective film forming film 13.
In the curing step, the protective film 13' is formed by irradiating the protective film forming film 13 with energy rays from the outside of the first laminate film 601 on the protective film forming film 13 side through the second release film 152 (through the second release film 152).
In the curing step, the protective film 13' may be formed by removing the second release film 152 from the protective film forming film 13 of the first laminate film 601 to expose the second surface 13b of the protective film forming film 13 and then irradiating the protective film forming film 13 with energy rays.
The irradiation conditions of the energy ray in the curing step are as described above.
By forming the film 13 using the protective film, the protective film 13' can be suppressed from being peeled off from the wafer 9 in the second laminated film 602 obtained by the curing step.
Next, in the dividing step of the manufacturing method 1, first, the second release film 152 is removed from the protective film 13' in the second laminated film 602. Then, as shown in fig. 6C, one surface (in this specification, it may be referred to as "first surface") 8a of the dicing sheet 8 is attached to the second surface 13b 'of the protective film 13' newly exposed thereby.
The dicing sheet 8 shown here is configured to include a base material 81 and an adhesive layer 82 provided on one surface 81a of the base material 81, and the adhesive layer 82 in the dicing sheet 8 is attached to the protective film 13'. The surface (in this specification, sometimes referred to as "first surface") 82a of the adhesive layer 82 on the protective film 13' side is the same as the first surface 8a of the dicing sheet 8.
The dicing sheet 8 may be a known dicing sheet. For example, the substrate 81 may be the same substrate as that in the protective film-forming composite sheet, and the adhesive layer 82 may be the same adhesive layer as that in the protective film-forming composite sheet. That is, the dicing sheet 8 may be the same sheet as the support sheet in the composite sheet for forming a protective film.
Here, although the dicing sheet 8 including the base material 81 and the adhesive agent layer 82 is used, a sheet other than this may be used as the dicing sheet in the dividing step, and for example, a dicing sheet composed only of the base material may be used.
Next, in the dividing step, as shown in fig. 6D, the wafer 9 in the second laminated film 602 is divided and the protective film 13 'is cut in a state where the dicing sheet 8 is provided on the protective film 13' side of the second laminated film 602. The wafer 9 is divided into individual chips 90.
The wafer 9 may be divided and the protective film 13' may be cut by a known method. The wafer 9 and the protective film 13' can be continuously divided by various dicing such as blade dicing, laser dicing by laser irradiation, or water dicing by jetting water containing an abrasive.
In any of the cutting methods, the protective film 13' is cut along the outer periphery of the chip 90.
Thus, by dividing the wafer 9 and cutting the protective film 13 ', a plurality of protective film-attached chips 901 can be obtained, and the protective film (hereinafter, simply referred to as "protective film") 130' provided on the rear surface 90b of the chip 90 and the chip 90 after cutting is provided on the protective film 901. The reference numeral 130b 'denotes a surface (in this specification, may be referred to as a "second surface") of the cut protective film 130', which is the second surface 13b 'of the protective film 13'.
In the dividing step of the manufacturing method 1, the third laminated film 603 in which the plurality of chips 901 with protective films are fixed to the dicing sheet 8 is manufactured in the above manner.
By forming the protective film 13, the protective film 13 'can be prevented from being peeled off from the wafer 9 before and during dicing, and the protective film 130' can be prevented from being peeled off from the chip 90, during a period from when the dicing process is started to when the third laminated film 603 is obtained.
Next, in the pickup step of the manufacturing method 1, as shown in fig. 6E, the chip 901 with the protective film in the third laminate film 603 is pulled away from the dicing sheet 8, and the chip 901 with the protective film is picked up.
In the pickup step, peeling occurs between the second surface 130b 'of the protective film 130' in the protective film-attached chip 901 and the first surface 82a of the adhesive agent layer 82 in the dicing sheet 8.
Here, a case where the chip 901 with the protective film is pulled off in the direction of the arrow P using a pulling-off tool 7 such as a vacuum nozzle (vacuum collet) is shown. In addition, the cross-sectional view of the pull-off tool 7 is omitted here.
The chip 901 with the protective film can be picked up by a known method.
When the adhesive agent layer 82 is energy ray-curable, it is preferable that, in the pickup step, the adhesive agent layer 82 is irradiated with an energy ray to cure the adhesive agent layer 82 to form a cured product (not shown), and then the chip 901 with the protective film is pulled off from the dicing sheet 8. At this time, in the pickup step, the protective film 130' in the chip 901 with a protective film and the cured product of the adhesive layer 82 in the dicing sheet 8 are peeled off from each other.
In this case, since the adhesion between the cured product of the adhesive layer 82 and the protective film 130 'is smaller than the adhesion between the adhesive layer 82 and the protective film 130', the chip 901 with the protective film can be picked up more easily.
The irradiation conditions for irradiating the adhesive agent layer 82 with energy rays in the pickup step may be the same as the irradiation conditions for irradiating the protective film forming film 13 with energy rays in the curing step, for example.
In the present specification, if a laminated structure of a substrate and a cured product of an energy ray-curable adhesive agent layer is maintained, the laminated structure is referred to as a "dicing sheet" even after the energy ray-curable adhesive agent layer is cured by an energy ray.
On the other hand, when the adhesive agent layer 82 is non-energy ray-curable, the chip 901 with the protective film may be pulled off directly from the adhesive agent layer 82, and curing of the adhesive agent layer 82 is not necessary, so that the chip 901 with the protective film can be picked up in a simplified process.
Even if the adhesive agent layer 82 is energy ray curable, the chip 901 with the protective film can be picked up by a simplified process without curing the adhesive agent layer 82.
In the pickup step, the pickup of the protective film-attached chip 901 can be performed for all the target protective film-attached chips 901.
By using the protective film forming film 13, the protective film 130' can be prevented from peeling off from the chip 90 during the period from the start to the end of the pickup process, both before and after the pickup.
In the manufacturing method 1, the chip 901 with the protective film can be obtained as a target by performing the pickup step.
The case where the first laminated film is produced, then the protective film is formed by energy ray curing the protective film forming film in the first laminated film, the second laminated film is produced, and then the dicing sheet is attached to the protective film in the second laminated film, the wafer is divided, and the protective film is cut has been described. That is, the case where the curing step is performed after the attaching step, and then the dicing sheet is attached to the attachment object (here, the protective film), and then the dividing step is performed will be described. However, in the manufacturing method 1, the timing of attaching the dicing sheet to the attachment object is not limited to this.
For example, in the manufacturing method 1, after the first laminated film is manufactured, a dicing sheet may be attached to the protective film forming film in the first laminated film, the protective film forming film in the first laminated film with a dicing sheet (in some cases, the first laminated film with a support sheet) thus obtained may be cured with an energy ray to form a protective film, a second laminated film may be manufactured, and the wafer in the second laminated film may be divided to cut the protective film. That is, after the sticking step, the dicing sheet may be stuck to the object to be stuck (here, the protective film forming film), and the curing step may be performed on the first laminate film with the dicing sheet (in some cases, the first laminate film with the support sheet) obtained by the sticking step, and then the dividing step may be performed. The first laminated film with the supporting sheet is the same as the first laminated composite sheet described later. Fig. 7A to 7E are sectional views schematically illustrating the manufacturing method 1 in this case.
< manufacturing method 2>
Fig. 8A to 8D are sectional views for schematically explaining the manufacturing method 2. The production method 2 will be described by taking, as an example, a case where the composite sheet 101 for forming a protective film shown in fig. 2 is used.
In the sticking step of the production method 2, as shown in fig. 8A, the protective film forming film 13 of the protective film forming composite sheet 101 is stuck to the back surface 9b of the wafer 9, whereby a first laminated composite sheet 501 is produced in which the support sheet 10, the protective film forming film 13, and the wafer 9 are laminated in this order in the thickness direction thereof. In this case, the first surface 13a of the protective film forming film 13 in the protective film forming composite sheet 101 is attached to the back surface 9b of the wafer 9 in the same manner as in the manufacturing method 1.
The protective film forming film 13 in the protective film forming composite sheet 101 can be attached to the wafer 9 by a known method. For example, the protective film forming film 13 may be attached to the wafer 9 while being heated.
Next, in the curing step of the production method 2, the protective film 13 'is formed by energy ray curing the protective film forming film 13 in the first laminated composite sheet 501, and as shown in fig. 8B, a second laminated composite sheet 502 is produced which is formed by laminating the support sheet 10, the protective film 13' and the wafer 9 in this order in the thickness direction thereof.
In the curing step, the protective film 13' is formed by irradiating the protective film forming film 13 with an energy ray from the outside of the first laminated composite sheet 501 on the support sheet 10 side through the support sheet 10 (through the support sheet 10).
The curing step can be performed by the same method as the curing step in the manufacturing method 1, except that the first laminated composite sheet 501 is used instead of the first laminated film 601.
The second laminated composite sheet 502 obtained in the curing step has the same configuration as the laminate of the second laminated film 602 and the dicing sheet 8 in the dividing step of the manufacturing method 1. When the cutting sheet 8 is the same as the support sheet 10, the second laminated composite sheet 502 is the same as the laminate.
By using the protective film forming film 13, the protective film 13' can be prevented from being peeled off from the wafer 9 in the second laminated composite sheet 502 obtained in the curing step.
Next, in the dividing step of the manufacturing method 2, as shown in fig. 8C, the wafer 9 in the second laminated composite sheet 502 is divided, and the protective film 13' is cut. The wafer 9 is singulated by the dicing into a plurality of chips 90.
The dividing step may be performed in the same manner as the dividing step in the manufacturing method 1, except that the second laminated composite sheet 502 is used instead of the laminate of the second laminated film 602 and the dicing sheet 8.
In the manufacturing method 2, the protective film 13' is cut along the outer periphery of the chip 90 regardless of the cutting method.
Thus, by dividing the wafer 9 and cutting the protective film 13 ', a plurality of chips 901 with protective films can be obtained, and the chips 901 with protective films include the chips 90 and the cut protective films 130' provided on the back surfaces 90b of the chips 90.
These chips 901 with protective films obtained in the dividing step of manufacturing method 2 are the same as the chips 901 with protective films obtained in the dividing step of manufacturing method 1.
As described above, in the dividing step of the manufacturing method 2, the third laminated composite sheet 503 is manufactured, which is configured by fixing the plurality of chips 901 with the protective film to the support sheet 10.
The third laminated composite sheet 503 has the same configuration as the third laminated film 603 obtained in the dividing step of the production method 1. When the cut sheet 8 is the same as the support sheet 10, the third laminated composite sheet 503 is the same as the third laminated film 603.
By using the protective film forming film 13, the protective film 13 'can be prevented from being peeled off from the wafer 9 before and during the dicing process and the protective film 130' can be prevented from being peeled off from the chip 90 during the period from the start of the dicing process to the time when the third laminated composite sheet 503 is obtained.
Next, in the pickup step of the manufacturing method 2, as shown in fig. 8D, the chip 901 with the protective film in the third laminated composite sheet 503 is pulled away from the support sheet 10, and the chip 901 with the protective film is picked up.
In the pickup step, the separation occurs between the second surface 130b 'of the protective film 130' in the chip with protective film 901 and the first surface 12a of the adhesive agent layer 12 in the support sheet 10.
The pickup process may be performed by the same method as the pickup process in the manufacturing method 1, except that the third laminated composite sheet 503 is used instead of the third laminated film 603.
For example, when the adhesive layer 12 is energy-ray curable, in the pickup step, it is preferable that the adhesive layer 12 is irradiated with an energy ray to cure the adhesive layer 12 to form a cured product (not shown), and then the chip 901 with the protective film is pulled off from the support sheet 10. At this time, in the pickup step, the protective film 130' of the chip 901 with a protective film is peeled off from the cured product of the adhesive layer 12 of the support sheet 10.
In this case, since the adhesion between the cured product of the adhesive layer 12 and the protective film 130 'is smaller than the adhesion between the adhesive layer 12 and the protective film 130', the chip 901 with the protective film can be picked up more easily.
On the other hand, when the adhesive layer 12 is non-energy ray-curable, the chip 901 with the protective film may be pulled off directly from the adhesive layer 12, and curing of the adhesive layer 12 is not necessary, so that the chip 901 with the protective film can be picked up in a simplified process.
Even if the adhesive layer 12 is energy ray curable, the chip 901 with the protective film can be picked up by a simplified process without curing the adhesive layer 12.
By using the protective film forming film 13, the protective film 130' can be prevented from peeling off from the chip 90 during the period from the start to the end of the pickup process, both before and after the pickup.
In the manufacturing method 2, the chip 901 with a protective film can be obtained as a target by performing the pickup step. The chip with a protective film 901 obtained in production method 2 is the same as the chip with a protective film 901 obtained in production method 1.
The production method 2 in the case of using the composite sheet 101 for forming a protective film shown in fig. 2 has been described, but in the production method 2, a composite sheet 102 for forming a protective film, a composite sheet 103 for forming a protective film, a composite sheet 104 for forming a protective film shown in fig. 3 to 5, or the composite sheet 101 for forming a protective film of the present embodiment other than the composite sheet 101 for forming a protective film may be used.
Manufacturing method of substrate apparatus (method of using chip with protective film)
After the chip with the protective film is obtained by the above-described manufacturing method, the substrate apparatus can be manufactured by the same method as the manufacturing method of the conventional substrate apparatus, except that the chip with the protective film is used instead of the conventional chip with the protective film.
As a method for manufacturing the substrate device, for example, there is a manufacturing method including a flip chip connection step of electrically connecting the bump electrodes and the connection pads on the circuit board by bringing the bump electrodes on the chip with the protective film, which is formed by using the protective film, into contact with the connection pads on the circuit board.
By forming a film using the protective film of the present embodiment, the protective film can be suppressed from being peeled off from the chip in the substrate device. Therefore, the substrate device is superior to the conventional substrate device in terms of high reliability.

< preparation of composition (IV) -1 for Forming protective film >
Energy ray-curable composition (IV) -1 for forming an energy ray-curable protective film having a total concentration of all components except the solvent of 45 mass% was obtained by dissolving or dispersing energy ray-curable component (a) -1(10.1 mass parts), energy ray-curable component (a) -2(12.4 mass parts), acrylic resin (b) -1(14.7 mass parts) having no energy ray-curable group, photopolymerization initiator (c) -1(0.1 mass part), photopolymerization initiator (c) -2(0.5 mass part), inorganic filler (d) -1(58.4 mass parts), colorant (g) -1(3 mass parts), and general-purpose additive (z) -1(0.8 mass part) in methyl ethyl ketone and stirring at 23 ℃. The amounts of the components other than the solvent described herein are the amounts of the target compound without solvent.
< production of protective film-forming film >
The above-obtained composition (IV) -1 for forming a protective film was coated on the release-treated surface thereof using a release film (second release film, "SP-PET 382150" manufactured by linetec Corporation, having a thickness of 38 μm) obtained by subjecting one surface of a polyethylene terephthalate film to a release treatment by a silicone treatment, and dried at 100 ℃ for 2 minutes, thereby producing an energy ray-curable protective film forming film having a thickness of 25 μm.
Further, a release-treated surface of a release film (first release film, "SP-PET 381031" manufactured by linec Corporation, having a thickness of 38 μm) was bonded to an exposed surface of the obtained protective film forming film on the side not having the second release film, thereby obtaining a protective film forming film with a release film, which was configured by having a protective film forming film, a first release film provided on one surface of the protective film forming film, and a second release film provided on the other surface of the protective film forming film.

The acrylic resin was a copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of 600000, which was obtained by copolymerizing 2EHMA (80 parts by mass) and HEA (20 parts by mass).
< production of supporting sheet >
The release film (SP-PET 381031 manufactured by LINTEC Corporation, 38 μm thick) obtained by subjecting one surface of a polyethylene terephthalate film to a release treatment by a silicone treatment was used, and the obtained adhesive composition (I-4) -1 was applied to the release-treated surface thereof, followed by heating and drying at 100 ℃ for 2 minutes, thereby forming a non-energy ray-curable adhesive layer having a thickness of 5 μm.
Then, a polypropylene film (80 μm thick, colorless) as a base material was laminated on the exposed surface of the adhesive layer, thereby producing a support sheet with a release film, which was formed by laminating the base material, the adhesive layer, and the release film in this order in the thickness direction thereof.
< production of chip with protective film >
The first release film and the second release film were removed from the protective film forming film obtained above using a tape bonding apparatus ("advill RAD-3600F/12" manufactured by LINTEC Corporation), and one newly produced exposed surface of the protective film forming film was thermally laminated on a #2000 polished surface of an 8-inch silicon wafer (thickness 350 μm) under conditions of an attachment temperature of 70 ℃, an attachment pressure of 0.3MPa, and an attachment speed of 50 mm/sec, thereby bonding the protective film forming film to the silicon wafer (attachment step). Thereby producing a first laminated film.
The release film was removed from the support sheet obtained above. Then, the first laminated film fixed to the apparatus was fixed to the ring frame using a tape application apparatus ("Adwill RAD-2700" manufactured by LINTEC Corporation). Then, the exposed surface of the adhesive layer produced by removing the release film and the exposed surface of the protective film forming film were laminated under conditions of an adhesion pressure of 0.3MPa and an adhesion speed of 20 mm/sec, and the support sheet was adhered to the protective film forming film in the first laminated film (adhesion step). Thereby producing a first laminate film with a support sheet.
Next, for the first laminated film with the support sheet, an ultraviolet irradiation device ("RAD" manufactured by LINTEC Corporation) was used2000 m/8'), with an illumination of 200mW/cm 2 The light quantity was 300mJ/cm 2 And (3) irradiating the protective film-forming film with ultraviolet rays twice through the base material and the adhesive layer to cure the protective film-forming film and form the protective film (curing step). Thereby producing a second laminated film.
Next, the second laminated film was cut with a blade using a dicing apparatus ("DFD 6362" manufactured by DISCO Corporation) to divide the silicon wafer into silicon chips having a size of 3mm × 3mm, and the protective film was cut along the outer periphery of the silicon chips to produce a plurality of chips with the protective film (dividing step). Thus, a third laminated film was produced in which a plurality of silicon chips with protective films were fixed to a support sheet. These silicon chips with the protective film were dried together with the chips at 125 ℃ for 24 hours.
Next, the silicon chip with the protective film in the third laminate film is pulled away from the support sheet, and the silicon chip with the protective film is picked up (pickup step).
Thus, the target chip with the protective film was obtained.
