Description

Laminated structure, dry film, cured product, and electronic component
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a laminated structure, a dry film, a cured product, and an electronic component using the same, which are suitable for use in a semiconductor package or the like.
Background
In recent years, as printed circuit boards having a smaller size and lighter weight have been more densely packed, solder resists have been required to have higher workability and higher performance. In addition, recently, along with miniaturization, weight saving, and high performance of electronic devices, miniaturization and mass-production of semiconductor packages have been advanced. Various semiconductor packages have been proposed to cope with such a high density.
In recent years, there has been a demand for a solder resist layer used for various semiconductor packages which cope with a high density, which has high reliability in a use environment and high reliability for a long period of time. One of the reliability tests relating to reliability in a use environment is a bias applied high acceleration stress test (hereinafter referred to as B-HAST), and one of the reliability tests for a long time is a crack resistance test in a cold and hot cycle. As a photocurable/thermosetting resin composition excellent in B-HAST resistance, there is a resin composition comprising a carboxyl group-containing photosensitive resin obtained as follows: a reaction product is obtained by reacting a compound (a) having 2 or more phenolic hydroxyl groups in 1 molecule with an alkylene oxide (b) or a cyclic carbonate compound (c), and an unsaturated group-containing monocarboxylic acid (d) and a polybasic acid anhydride (e) (patent document 1).

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
The resin composition described in comparative document 1 contains a carboxyl group-containing photosensitive resin having a rigid skeleton, and therefore has excellent B-HAST resistance, but on the contrary, crack resistance in the cold and hot cycles is not necessarily sufficient from the level of recent requirements.
The resin composition comprising the carboxyl group-containing polyurethane resin and having a softer skeleton is formed instead of the carboxyl group-containing photosensitive resin having a rigid skeleton, and as a result, crack resistance is improved, but B-HAST resistance tends to be lowered.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide: not only can the opposite characteristics of B-HAST resistance and crack resistance be simultaneously achieved at a high level, but also the laminated structure, dry film, cured product and electronic component have excellent photo-patterning property.
Solution for solving the problem
The present inventors have studied intensively to solve the above problems, and as a result, have confirmed that: by forming a laminate of two layers having different compositions, the opposite properties of B-HAST resistance and crack resistance can be achieved at a high level. In a laminated structure in which only a layer suitable for B-HAST resistance and a layer suitable for crack resistance are laminated, it is naturally difficult to control the sensitivity of each layer, and therefore it is determined that: it is difficult to obtain good photo-patternability. In recent years, in the use of semiconductor packages, excellent photopatternability is demanded that the opening diameter of a Solder Resist Opening (SRO) is 50 μm or less.
Accordingly, the present invention has been completed as a result of further continued research and development to obtain a laminated structure having not only B-HAST resistance and crack resistance but also excellent photopatternability.
That is, the laminated structure of the present invention is characterized by comprising: a resin layer comprising 2 layers of a resin layer (A) formed from a resin composition (a) and a resin layer (B) formed from a resin composition (B) are laminated,
the resin composition (B) of the resin layer (B) contains: an alkali-soluble resin; a photo-alkali generator having a function as a photopolymerization initiator, or a photopolymerization initiator and a photo-alkali generator; a thermosetting resin, and a method for producing the same,
the resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a) contains: a carboxyl group-containing resin and a thermosetting resin, substantially free of a photopolymerization initiator,
the difference between the gloss sensitivity and the residual sensitivity, which was obtained by measuring the thickness of the coating film of the pattern formed by exposing the 2 resin layers from the resin layer (B) side through the step exposure meter and performing the PEB (POST EXPOSURE BAKE) step, and the thickness of the coating film of the pattern formed by exposing and performing the PEB step and then developing, was 20 or less. Details of the PEB step are as follows.
Here, the definition of the gloss sensitivity and the residual sensitivity is as follows.
When the thickness of the 2-layer resin layer before the pattern formed by exposing the 2-layer resin layer from the resin layer (B) side through a stepwise exposure meter and performing the PEB step is 100%, the maximum value of the number of exposure meter steps of the thickness of the coating film remaining 95% or more after the exposure and the PEB step and after the development is defined as gloss sensitivity, and the maximum value of the number of exposure meter steps of the thickness of the coating film remaining 5% or less after the development is defined as residual sensitivity, and the thickness of the coating film before the development is defined as 100%.
In the present invention, the thickness of the coating film of the pattern formed is in accordance with JIS K5600-1-7: 2014, the measurement is performed by a difference meter between a measured value obtained as the thickness of the whole coating film and a measured value obtained as the thickness of the substrate. The measurement method is as follows: according to the mechanical measurement method, the film thickness before development of the pattern formed after exposure of the 2 resin layers from the resin layer (B) side through a stepwise exposure meter and the PEB step at 90 ℃ for 30 minutes and the film thickness of the residual film formed after the PEB step after exposure and development were measured by a thickness measuring instrument (manufactured by DIGIMICRO MF-501, nikon Corporation), respectively, and when the film thickness before development was set to 100%, the maximum value of the number of exposure meter steps remaining after the development was set to 95% or more, and when the film thickness before development was set to 100%, the maximum value of the number of exposure meter steps after the development was set to 5% or less, respectively, were set to the residual sensitivity.
In the laminated structure of the present invention, the thickness of the resin layer (B) is 2 μm or more and half or less of the thickness of the resin layer (A), and the thickness of the resin layer (A) is preferably 10 to 80 μm, more preferably 20 to 60 μm.
The dry film of the present invention is characterized by comprising: the laminated structure of the present invention; and a film provided in contact with at least one of the surface of the resin layer (B) and the surface of the resin layer (A) of the laminated structure.

The electronic component of the present invention is characterized by comprising the cured product of the present invention.
ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION

Detailed Description
Embodiments of the laminated structure, dry film, cured product, and electronic component according to the present invention are described in detail below.
(laminate Structure)
The laminated structure of the present invention comprises: a resin layer comprising 2 layers of a resin layer (A) formed from a resin composition (a) and a resin layer (B) formed from a resin composition (B) are laminated,
The resin composition (B) of the resin layer (B) contains: an alkali-soluble resin; a photo-alkali generator having a function as a photopolymerization initiator, or a photopolymerization initiator and a photo-alkali generator; a thermosetting resin, and a method for producing the same,
the resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a) contains: a carboxyl group-containing resin and a thermosetting resin, substantially free of a photopolymerization initiator,
the difference between the gloss sensitivity and the residual sensitivity, which is obtained by measuring the thickness of the coating film of the pattern formed by exposing the 2 resin layers from the resin layer (B) side through the step exposure meter and then performing the PEB step, and the thickness of the coating film of the pattern formed by exposing and then performing the PEB step, is 20 or less, more preferably 14 or less.
When the laminated structure is formed on a substrate, the layer in contact with the substrate is a resin layer (a), and the layer in contact with the surface of the resin layer (a) opposite to the surface in contact with the substrate is a resin layer (B). That is, the laminated structure has a structure in which a resin layer (a) and a resin layer (B) are laminated in this order on a base material. Examples of the substrate include a printed circuit board, a flexible printed circuit board, and the like, each of which has a circuit formed in advance of copper or the like.
The resin layer (B) is formed from a resin composition (B) containing: an alkali-soluble resin; a photo-alkali generator having a function as a photopolymerization initiator, or a photopolymerization initiator and a photo-alkali generator; and a thermosetting resin. The resin composition (B) of the resin layer (B) containing these components is a photosensitive thermosetting resin composition as follows: the photopolymerization initiator reacts with the alkali-soluble resin by irradiation with light to have photosensitivity, and the photoacid generator serving as a polymerization initiator by heating functions as a catalyst to perform heat curing.
The resin layer (a) is formed from a resin composition (a) containing: the carboxyl group-containing resin and the thermosetting resin are substantially free of photopolymerization initiator. The substantial absence of the photopolymerization initiator means that the photopolymerization initiator is less than 0.5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the carboxyl group-containing resin contained in the resin composition (a).
Since the resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a) containing these components does not contain a photopolymerization initiator, the resin composition (a) has no photosensitivity in a single layer, but is laminated in contact with the resin layer (B), and therefore, an active material such as a radical generated by the photopolymerization initiator contained in the resin layer (B) diffuses into the resin layer (a), and the resin layer (a) also has photosensitivity. In addition, heat curing can be performed by heating. Therefore, the laminated structure can simultaneously form a predetermined pattern in the resin layer (B) and the resin layer (a) by development. Particularly, in the case of performing the PEB step after exposure, the effect of simultaneously forming the pattern is remarkable by thermal diffusion at this time.
[ resin layer (A) ]
(resin composition (a) of resin layer (A))
The resin layer (a) is formed of the resin composition (a). It is desirable that the resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a) not only functions as an adhesive layer with a substrate but also has a characteristic of coping with various circuit patterns. Therefore, the resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a) is preferably a photosensitive thermosetting resin composition as follows: the resin having carboxyl groups, the resin containing carboxyl groups therein and the thermosetting component are subjected to an addition reaction by heating after exposure using a base generated from an alkaline generator as a catalyst, and the unexposed portion is removed by an alkaline solution, whereby development can be performed.
Specific examples of the carboxyl group-containing resin contained in the resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a) include the following compounds.

(5) A carboxyl group-containing polyurethane resin obtained by adding a compound having 1 hydroxyl group and 1 or more (meth) acryloyl groups in the molecule, such as hydroxyalkyl (meth) acrylate, to the synthesis of the resin of the above (2) or (4) and subjecting the resultant resin to terminal (meth) acrylation.
(6) A carboxyl group-containing polyurethane resin obtained by adding a compound having 1 isocyanate group and 1 or more (meth) acryloyl groups in the molecule, such as an equimolar reactant of isophorone diisocyanate and pentaerythritol triacrylate, to the synthesis of the resin of (2) or (4) above, and subjecting the resultant resin to terminal (meth) acrylation.
(7) A carboxyl group-containing resin obtained by reacting a multifunctional epoxy resin with (meth) acrylic acid, and adding a dibasic acid anhydride such as phthalic anhydride, tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, hexahydrophthalic anhydride, or the like to a hydroxyl group present in a side chain.
(8) A carboxyl group-containing resin is obtained by reacting a (meth) acrylic acid with a polyfunctional epoxy resin obtained by epoxidizing the hydroxyl groups of a 2-functional epoxy resin with epichlorohydrin, and adding a dibasic acid anhydride to the hydroxyl groups thus formed.
(9) A carboxyl group-containing polyester resin obtained by reacting a polyfunctional oxetane compound with a dicarboxylic acid and adding a dibasic acid anhydride to the primary hydroxyl group formed.
(10) A carboxyl group-containing resin is obtained by reacting a compound having a plurality of phenolic hydroxyl groups in 1 molecule with an alkylene oxide such as ethylene oxide or propylene oxide to obtain a reaction product, reacting the reaction product with an unsaturated group-containing monocarboxylic acid, and reacting the reaction product obtained thereby with a polybasic acid anhydride.
(11) A carboxyl group-containing resin is obtained by reacting a compound having a plurality of phenolic hydroxyl groups in 1 molecule with a cyclic carbonate compound such as ethylene carbonate or propylene carbonate to obtain a reaction product, reacting the reaction product with an unsaturated group-containing monocarboxylic acid, and reacting the reaction product obtained thereby with a polybasic acid anhydride.
(12) And a carboxyl group-containing resin obtained by reacting an epoxy compound having a plurality of epoxy groups in 1 molecule with a compound having at least 1 alcoholic hydroxyl group and 1 phenolic hydroxyl group in 1 molecule such as p-hydroxyphenylethanol, and an unsaturated group-containing monocarboxylic acid such as (meth) acrylic acid, and reacting the alcoholic hydroxyl group of the obtained reaction product with a polybasic acid anhydride such as maleic anhydride, tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, trimellitic anhydride, pyromellitic anhydride, adipic anhydride, and the like.
(13) A carboxyl group-containing resin having at least any one of an amide structure and an imide structure.
(14) A carboxyl group-containing photosensitive resin having a copolymerization structure, which is obtained by adding a carboxyl group-containing copolymer resin comprising, as monomers, a maleimide such as N-phenylmaleimide or N-benzylmaleimide, or a maleimide derivative, an unsaturated carboxylic acid such as (meth) acrylic acid, or a hydroxyl group-containing unsaturated group-containing compound such as hydroxyalkyl (meth) acrylate, and an unsaturated group-containing compound having an aromatic ring such as styrene, alpha-methylstyrene, or vinyltoluene, to a carboxyl group-containing copolymer resin comprising, as monomers, a glycidyl (meth) acrylate, alpha-methylglycidyl (meth) acrylate, or epoxycyclohexylmethyl (meth) acrylate, or a compound having 1 epoxy group and 1 or more (meth) acryloyl groups in the molecule.
(15) The carboxyl group-containing resin described in (1) to (13) above is obtained by further adding a compound having 1 epoxy group and 1 or more (meth) acryloyl groups in the molecule, such as glycidyl (meth) acrylate and α -methyl glycidyl (meth) acrylate.
In the present specification, (meth) acrylate is a term generically used for acrylate, methacrylate, and a mixture thereof, and the same applies to other similar expressions.
The carboxyl group-containing resin contained in the resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a) may be used not limited to the above-mentioned one, but may be used alone of 1 kind or in combination of plural kinds. Among the carboxyl group-containing resins, the unit having a photosensitive group of (10) an Ethylene Oxide (EO) -Propylene Oxide (PO) modified resin as a phenolic resin starting and the unit having a photosensitive group of (11) an ethylene carbonate-propylene carbonate modified resin as a phenolic resin starting are independent from the developing unit having a carboxyl group, and therefore, after the photosensitive group is crosslinked by exposure, the contrast between the exposed portion and the unexposed portion is preferably obtained without affecting the developability of the developing unit having a carboxyl group, and the sensitivity is preferably adjusted. The carboxyl group-containing resins of the above (10) and (11) may be used in combination with the carboxyl group-containing polyurethane resins of the above (2) to (6).
The amount of the carboxyl group-containing resin contained in the resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a) is 10 to 70% by mass based on the total amount of the solid components of the resin composition (a). By setting the content to 10 mass% or more, the coating film strength can be improved. Further, by setting the content to 70 mass% or less, the tackiness becomes appropriate, and the workability improves. In particular, in the present invention, the resin (10) and (11) is preferably 30 to 100% by mass, more preferably 70 to 100% by mass, of the carboxyl group-containing resin of the resin layer (a) in order to adjust the residual sensitivity. If the amount is within this range, the difference between the gloss sensitivity and the residual sensitivity can be reduced to 20 or less levels with a constant exposure amount.
In the present invention, from the viewpoint of adjusting the gloss sensitivity and residual sensitivity of the resin laminate structure, it is preferable that the resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a) contains substantially no photopolymerization initiator. The substantial absence of the photopolymerization initiator means that the photopolymerization initiator is less than 0.5 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the carboxyl group-containing resin contained in the resin composition (a).
This is because, in order to form a pattern simultaneously by development in a laminated structure of the resin layer (B) and the resin layer (a), the resin composition (B) of the resin layer (B) contains a photobase generator having a function as a photopolymerization initiator, and thus it is sufficient to cure the resin laminate. It is assumed that if the photopolymerization initiator is not contained in the resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a), the residual sensitivity tends to be increased, and the fine patterning is adversely affected.
[ thermosetting resin ]
The thermosetting resin contained in the resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a) is a resin having a functional group capable of undergoing a heat-based curing reaction. The thermosetting resin is not particularly limited, and epoxy resins, oxetane compounds, compounds having 2 or more sulfide groups in the molecule, namely episulfide resins, melamine resins, benzoguanamine resins, melamine derivatives, amino resins such as benzoguanamine derivatives, blocked isocyanate compounds, cyclic carbonate compounds, bismaleimides, carbodiimides, and the like may be used, or they may be used in combination.
The epoxy resin is a resin having an epoxy group, and any of conventionally known ones can be used, and examples thereof include a 2-functional epoxy resin having 2 epoxy groups in a molecule, and a multifunctional epoxy resin having a plurality of epoxy groups in a molecule. It is to be noted that hydrogenated 2-functional epoxy resins are also possible.
Examples of the epoxy resin include bisphenol a type epoxy resin, bisphenol F type epoxy resin, hydrogenated bisphenol a type epoxy resin, brominated bisphenol a type epoxy resin, bisphenol S type epoxy resin, phenol novolac type epoxy resin, cresol novolac type epoxy resin, bisphenol a novolac type epoxy resin, biphenyl type epoxy resin, naphthol type epoxy resin, naphthalene type epoxy resin, dicyclopentadiene type epoxy resin, triphenylmethane type epoxy resin, alicyclic type epoxy resin, aliphatic chain type epoxy resin, phosphorus-containing epoxy resin, anthracene type epoxy resin, norbornene type epoxy resin, adamantane type epoxy resin, fluorene type epoxy resin, aminophenol type epoxy resin, amino cresol type epoxy resin, alkylphenol type epoxy resin, and the like. These epoxy resins may be used singly or in combination of 2 or more.
The epoxy resin may be any of a solid epoxy resin, a semi-solid epoxy resin, and a liquid epoxy resin. In the present specification, the solid epoxy resin means an epoxy resin which is solid at 40 ℃, the semisolid epoxy resin means an epoxy resin which is solid at 20 ℃ and liquid at 40 ℃, and the liquid epoxy resin means an epoxy resin which is liquid at 20 ℃.

The molecular weight of the thermosetting resin contained in the resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a) is preferably 100 to 2000 in terms of weight average molecular weight in order to adjust the developability and cured coating film characteristics. If the amount is within this range, the number of exposure table stages of the residual sensitivity can be reduced if a component having a low molecular weight, i.e., a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 100 to 1000 is used, and if a component having a high molecular weight, i.e., a weight average molecular weight of more than 1000 to 2000 is used, the number of exposure table stages of the residual sensitivity can be increased.

[ photopolymerizable monomer ]
The resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a) is a photosensitive thermosetting resin composition as described above: the resin having a carboxyl group and the thermosetting component are subjected to an addition reaction by heating after exposure using a base generated from an alkaline generator as a catalyst, and the unexposed portion is removed by an alkaline solution, whereby development can be performed. Thus, there is no need to compound a (meth) acrylate monomer required for a photosensitive resin composition by a polymerization reaction based on radicals generated by a conventional photo radical polymerization initiator. The resin composition of the resin layer (a) may be blended with a (meth) acrylate monomer, mainly for adjusting the sensitivity of the resin layer (a). For example, the (meth) acrylate monomer may be blended in an amount of about 10 to 100 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the carboxyl group-containing resin of the resin layer (a).
[ resin layer (B) ]
(resin composition (B) constituting resin layer (B))
The resin layer (B) is formed of the resin composition (B). The resin layer (B) mainly functions as a protective layer for the base material. The resin composition (B) of the resin layer (B) is a photosensitive thermosetting resin composition as follows: the photopolymerization initiator can perform radical polymerization based on light, and the alkali generated by the alkali generator is used as a catalyst, so that the alkali-soluble resin and the thermosetting component undergo an addition reaction by heating after exposure, and the unexposed part is removed by the alkali solution, thereby enabling development.
Examples of the alkali-soluble resin contained in the resin composition (B) of the resin layer (B) include compounds having a phenolic hydroxyl group, compounds having a carboxyl group, compounds having a phenolic hydroxyl group and a carboxyl group, and known and commonly used resins are used. In particular, a carboxyl group-containing resin or a carboxyl group-containing photosensitive resin, which has been conventionally used as a solder resist composition, includes a compound having a carboxyl group. Here, as the carboxyl group-containing resin or carboxyl group-containing photosensitive resin and the compound having an ethylenically unsaturated bond, known and commonly used compounds are used.
Among them, an alkali-soluble resin having an imide ring which is more excellent in properties such as bending resistance and heat resistance can be suitably used as the alkali-soluble resin.
The molecular weight of the carboxyl group-containing resin contained in the resin composition (B) of the resin layer (B) is preferably 1000 to 10000 in terms of weight average molecular weight in order to adjust the micropatternability and surface curability. When the molecular weight of the carboxyl-containing resin component is within this range, the number of exposure levels of the gloss sensitivity can be reduced if a carboxyl-containing resin having a low molecular weight, that is, 1000 to 5000 is used, and the number of exposure levels of the gloss sensitivity can be increased if a carboxyl-containing resin having a high molecular weight, that is, more than 5000 to 10000 is used. When the alkali-soluble resin having an imide ring described later has a carboxyl group, the gloss sensitivity can be adjusted in the same manner as in the above-mentioned range of the weight average molecular weight.
(alkali-soluble resin having imide Ring)
In the present invention, an alkali-soluble resin having an imide ring has: a phenolic hydroxyl group, an alkali-soluble group of 1 or more of carboxyl groups, and an imide ring. The alkali-soluble resin may be introduced with an imide ring by a known method. Examples thereof include: a resin obtained by reacting a carboxylic anhydride component with an amine component and/or an isocyanate component. Imidization may be performed by thermal imidization, chemical imidization, or a combination thereof.
The carboxylic anhydride component includes tetracarboxylic anhydride, tricarboxylic anhydride, and the like, but is not limited to these anhydrides, and may be any compound having an acid anhydride group and a carboxyl group which react with an amino group or an isocyanate group, and may be used as long as it includes a derivative thereof. These carboxylic anhydride components may be used alone or in combination.
The amine component may be a diamine such as an aliphatic diamine or an aromatic diamine, a polyamine such as an aliphatic polyether amine, a diamine having a carboxylic acid, a diamine having a phenolic hydroxyl group, or the like, but is not limited to these amines. In addition, these amine components may be used alone or in combination.
As the isocyanate component, there may be used diisocyanates such as aromatic diisocyanates and isomers thereof, polymers, aliphatic diisocyanates, alicyclic diisocyanates and isomers thereof, and other general-purpose diisocyanates, but not limited to these isocyanates. In addition, these isocyanate components may be used alone or in combination.
The alkali-soluble resin having an imide ring described above may have an amide bond. The polyamide-imide may be obtained by reacting an imide compound having a carboxyl group with an isocyanate and a carboxylic anhydride, or may be obtained by other reactions. It is also possible to have bonds formed by other additions and condensates.
In the synthesis of such an alkali-soluble resin having an alkali-soluble group and an imide ring, a known and commonly used organic solvent can be used. The organic solvent is not particularly limited as long as it does not react with the carboxylic acid anhydride, amine, or isocyanate as the raw material and dissolves these raw materials. In particular, aprotic solvents such as N, N-dimethylformamide, N-dimethylacetamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide, and γ -butyrolactone are preferable in terms of high solubility of the raw materials.
The acid value of the alkali-soluble resin having 1 or more alkali-soluble groups among the phenolic hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups and an imide ring described above is preferably 20 to 200mgKOH/g, more preferably 60 to 150mgKOH/g, in order to cope with the photolithography step, and to adjust the gloss sensitivity and the residual sensitivity. When the acid value is 20mgKOH/g or more, the solubility in alkali increases, the development becomes good, and the degree of crosslinking with the heat-curable component after light irradiation becomes high, so that a sufficient development contrast can be obtained. In addition, when the acid value is 200mgKOH/g or less, particularly, so-called hot fogging in the PEB step after light irradiation, which will be described later, can be suppressed, and the process margin becomes large.
In addition, the molecular weight of the alkali-soluble resin is preferably 1000 to 100000, more preferably 2000 to 50000, in order to adjust the developability and cured coating film characteristics. When the molecular weight is 1000 or more, sufficient development resistance and cured physical properties can be obtained after exposure to light and PEB. When the molecular weight is 100000 or less, the alkali solubility increases, and the developability improves.
(photopolymerization initiator)
The photopolymerization initiator used in the resin composition (B) of the resin layer (B) may be any known and commonly used photopolymerization initiator, and examples thereof include benzoin compounds, acylphosphine oxide compounds, acetophenone compounds, α -aminoacetophenone compounds, oxime ester compounds, and thioxanthone compounds. The resin composition (B) of the resin layer (B) enables radical polymerization based on light by containing a photopolymerization initiator.
In particular, when used in the PEB step after light irradiation, which will be described later, a photopolymerization initiator having a function as a photobase generator is suitable. In the PEB step, a photopolymerization initiator and a photobase generator may be used in combination.
The amount of the photopolymerization initiator to be blended is preferably 0.5 to 30 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the alkali-soluble resin. When the amount is 0.5 parts by mass or more, the surface curability becomes good, and when it is 30 parts by mass or less, halation is less likely to occur, and a good resolution is obtained. Further preferably 1.0 to 20 parts by mass.
(photo-alkaline agent)
The photobase generator having a function as a photopolymerization initiator is a compound of 1 or more alkaline substances that can function as a catalyst for polymerization of a thermally reactive compound described later by changing a molecular structure or splitting a molecule by irradiation with ultraviolet light, visible light, or the like. Examples of the alkaline substance include primary amines and tertiary amines.
Examples of the photobase generator having a function as a photopolymerization initiator include an α -aminoacetophenone compound, an oxime ester compound, a compound having a substituent such as an acyloxyimino group, an N-formylated aromatic amino group, an N-acylated aromatic amino group, a nitrobenzyl carbamate group, and an alkoxybenzyl carbamate group. Among them, oxime ester compounds and α -aminoacetophenone compounds are preferable, and oxime ester compounds are more preferable. As the α -aminoacetophenone compound, a compound having 2 or more nitrogen atoms is particularly preferable.
The α -aminoacetophenone compound may have a benzoin ether bond in a molecule, and may be an alkaline substance (amine) which is cleaved in the molecule when irradiated with light to thereby exert a curing catalyst function.
The oxime ester compound may be any compound that generates an alkaline substance by irradiation with light.
The photobase generator may be used alone or in combination of 1 or 2 or more. The blending amount of the photobase generator in the resin composition is preferably 1.0 to 40 parts by mass, more preferably 1.0 to 20 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the alkali-soluble resin. When the amount is 1.0 part by mass or more, the contrast of development resistance of the irradiated portion/non-irradiated portion can be obtained satisfactorily. When the amount is 40 parts by mass or less, the cured product properties are improved.
(thermosetting resin)
The thermosetting resin (B) of the resin layer (B) may be an epoxy resin, an oxetane compound, a compound having 2 or more sulfide groups in the molecule, that is, an episulfide resin, an amino resin such as a melamine resin, a benzoguanamine resin, a melamine derivative, a benzoguanamine derivative, a blocked isocyanate compound, a cyclic carbonate compound, bismaleimide, carbodiimide, or the like, similarly to the thermosetting resin of the resin layer (a), or may be used in combination thereof.
The thermosetting resin (B) of the resin layer (B) may be the same thermosetting resin as the thermosetting resin of the resin layer (a) or may be a different thermosetting resin. In addition, the thermosetting resin may be used singly or in combination of 2 or more.
The blending ratio of the thermosetting resin is preferably 10 to 50% by mass, more preferably 15 to 45% by mass, and still more preferably 20 to 40% by mass, based on the total amount of the composition, in terms of solid matter conversion.
The resin composition used for the resin layers (a) and (B) described above may contain the following components as required.
(colorant)
Colorants may be compounded for the purpose of adjusting sensitivity. The colorant may be any of pigments, dyes, and pigments, and may be any of known and commonly used colorants such as red, blue, green, yellow, white, and black.
(other Components)
For the purpose of adjusting the sensitivity and improving the effect coating properties, known and commonly used additives such as antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, micro silica, hydrotalcite, silane coupling agents and the like may be blended.
[ laminated Structure ]
The thickness of the resin layer (B) is 2 μm or more and half or less of the thickness of the resin layer (A), and the thickness of the resin layer (A) is preferably 10 to 80 μm, more preferably 20 to 60 μm.
The laminated structure may be formed by dry-film-forming the resin composition of the resin layer (a) and the resin composition of the resin layer (B) on a substrate such as a circuit board, or may be formed by sequentially applying liquid compositions. When the composition is used in a liquid form, it may be one-component or two-component or more, but from the viewpoint of storage stability, two-component or more is preferable.
[ Dry film ]
Next, the dry film of the present invention has a resin layer obtained by coating the resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a) and the resin composition (B) of the resin layer (B) on the 1 st film and drying. In forming the dry film, first, the resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a) and the resin composition (B) of the resin layer (B) are diluted with the above-mentioned organic solvent and adjusted to an appropriate viscosity, and then coated onto a carrier film with a uniform thickness by a comma coater, a doctor blade coater, a lip coater, a bar coater, a squeeze coater, a reverse coater, a transfer roll coater, a gravure coater, a spray coater, or the like. Thereafter, the coated composition is dried at a temperature of generally 40 to 130 ℃ for 1 to 30 minutes, whereby a resin layer can be formed. The thickness of the coating film is not particularly limited, and is generally appropriately selected in the range of 5 to 150. Mu.m, preferably 15 to 60. Mu.m, in terms of the film thickness after drying.
As the 1 st film, a plastic film, a polyester film such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a polyimide film, a polyamideimide film, a polypropylene film, a polystyrene film, or the like can be used. The thickness of the 1 st thin film is not particularly limited, and is generally appropriately selected in the range of 10 to 150. Mu.m. More preferably 15 to 130. Mu.m.
After forming a resin layer formed of the resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a) and the resin composition (B) of the resin layer (B) on the 1 st film, it is preferable to further laminate a releasable cover film on the surface of the film in order to prevent adhesion of dust or the like to the surface of the film. Examples of the release 2 nd film include polyethylene film, polytetrafluoroethylene film, polypropylene film, and surface-treated paper. The 2 nd film may be smaller than the adhesion force between the resin layer and the 1 st film when the cover film is peeled off.
In the present invention, the resin composition (B) of the resin layer (B) and the resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a) may be coated on the 2 nd film and dried to form a laminated structure, and the 1 st film may be laminated on the surface thereof. That is, in the present invention, as the film of the resin composition (a) for coating the resin layer (a) and the resin composition (B) for coating the resin layer (B) in producing the dry film, any of the 1 st film and the 2 nd film may be used.
The resin composition of the resin layer (a) and the resin composition of the resin layer (B) are adjusted to a viscosity suitable for the coating method, for example, using the above-mentioned organic solvent, and coated on a substrate by a method such as dip coating, flow coating, roll coating, bar coating, screen printing, curtain coating, or the like, and then the organic solvent contained in the composition is volatilized and dried (provisionally dried) at a temperature of about 60 to 100 ℃, whereby a hands-free resin layer can be formed. In the case of a dry film obtained by winding up the composition as a film by applying the composition onto a carrier film or a cover film and drying the film, the dry film is bonded to a substrate by a laminator or the like so that a layer of the composition of the present invention is in contact with the substrate, and then the carrier film is peeled off, whereby a resin layer can be formed.
Examples of the substrate include a printed circuit board and a flexible printed circuit board each having a circuit formed in advance of copper or the like: copper-clad laminates of all grades (FR-4 etc.), which use paper phenol, paper epoxy, glass cloth epoxy, glass polyimide, glass cloth/nonwoven fabric epoxy, glass cloth/paper epoxy, synthetic fiber epoxy, copper-clad laminates for high-frequency circuits, which use fluororesin, polyethylene, polyphenylene oxide, cyanate ester, etc., and metal substrates, polyimide films, PET films, polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) films, glass substrates, ceramic substrates, wafer sheets, etc., are used.
The volatilization drying performed after the resin composition is applied to the 1 st film of the substrate or dry film may be performed by a hot air circulation type drying furnace, an IR furnace, a hot plate, a convection oven or the like (a method of bringing hot air in a dryer into convection contact by using a device having a heat source of an air heating system using steam, or a method of blowing the hot air onto a support by using a nozzle). The heating in the PEB step and the post-curing step described later may be performed using the hot air circulation type drying furnace or the like.
[ cured product ]
The 1 st film of the dry film is peeled off and formed on a substrate for electronic parts, for example, a printed wiring board, and a cured product is formed by exposure to light and alkali development. After alkali development, post-curing is performed as needed. When the dry film is not used, the resin composition (a) of the resin layer (a) and the resin composition (B) of the resin layer (B) are coated and formed on the substrate, and then the cured product is formed by exposure to light and alkali development. After alkali development, post-curing is performed as needed.
(exposure (light irradiation) step)
In this step, the photoacid generator contained in the resin composition (B) of the resin layer (B) is activated into a negative pattern by irradiation with active energy rays, and the exposed portion is cured. When a composition of the PEB step described later is used, a photopolymerization initiator having a function as a photobase generator or a photobase generator is activated into a negative pattern to generate a base.
As the exposure machine used in this step, a direct drawing apparatus, an exposure machine equipped with a metal halide lamp, a light irradiation machine equipped with a (ultra) high-pressure mercury lamp, a light irradiation machine equipped with a mercury short-arc lamp, or a direct drawing apparatus using an ultraviolet lamp such as a (ultra) high-pressure mercury lamp can be used. The patterned mask for exposure is a negative type mask.
As the active energy ray used in the exposure, a laser light having a maximum wavelength in the range of 350 to 450nm or scattered light is preferably used. By setting the maximum wavelength to this range, the photobase generator can be activated efficiently. The exposure amount varies depending on the film thickness, etc., but is usually set to 100 to 1500mJ/cm 2
The resin composition (a) of the laminated resin layer (a) and the resin composition (B) of the resin layer (B) are exposed to light (light irradiation), whereby the exposed portion (the portion where light irradiation is performed) is cured. In this step, the photobase generator contained in the resin layer is activated into a negative pattern by light irradiation, and the light irradiation part is cured. In this step, the photobase generator is not stabilized by the alkali generated in the light irradiation unit, and the alkali is chemically propagated, so that the resin layer can be sufficiently cured deep. The exposure device used for the irradiation may be one that irradiates ultraviolet rays in the range of 350 to 450 nm.
(PEB (POST EXPOSURE BAKE) Process)
In this step, after exposure (light irradiation), the resin layer is heated to cure the exposed portion. In this step, the resin layer can be sufficiently cured by the alkali generated in the light irradiation step. The heating temperature is, for example, 80 to 140 ℃. The heating time is, for example, 2 to 140 minutes. Since the curing of the resin composition of the present invention is, for example, a ring-opening reaction of an epoxy resin by a thermal reaction, strain and curing shrinkage can be suppressed as compared with the case of curing by a photo radical reaction.
(developing step)
In the development step, the unirradiated portion is removed by alkali development, thereby forming a negative pattern-like insulating film. The developing method may be dipping, spraying, brushing, etc., and as the developing solution, aqueous alkali solutions of potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium phosphate, sodium silicate, ammonia, amines, etc. may be used.
(post-curing Process)
In this step, after the development step, the resin layer is completely thermally cured to obtain a highly reliable coating film. The heating temperature is, for example, 140℃to 180 ℃. The heating time is, for example, 20 to 120 minutes. Further, the light irradiation may be performed before or after the post-curing.
[ electronic component ]
The laminated structure of the present invention is suitable for forming a cured coating film on a printed circuit board as a semiconductor package or the like, more suitable for forming a permanent coating film, and further suitable for forming a solder resist layer, an interlayer insulating layer, and a cover layer. Further, since the curable resin composition of the present invention can provide a cured product having excellent crack resistance, it can be suitably used for forming a permanent coating film such as a solder resist layer used for a printed wiring board having a wiring pattern with a fine pitch, which is adversely affected by occurrence of cracks, for example.
