Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to matte finish base films that are useful in coverlay applications and have advantageous dielectric and optical properties. More specifically, the matte finish base films of the present disclosure comprise a relatively low concentration of pigment and matting agent in a polyimide film imidized by a chemical (as opposed to a thermal) conversion process.
- coverlays are known as barrier films for protecting electronic materials, e.g., for protecting flexible printed circuit boards, electronic components, leadframes of integrated circuit packages and the like.
- the present disclosure is directed to a base film.
- the base film comprises a chemically converted polyimide in an amount from 71 to 96 weight percent of the base film.
- the chemically converted polyimide is derived from: i. at least 50 mole percent of an aromatic dianhydride, based upon a total dianhydride content of the polyimide, and ii. at least 50 mole percent of an aromatic diamine based upon a total diamine content of the polyimide.
- the base film further comprises: a low conductivity carbon black present in an amount from 2 to 9 weight percent of the base film; and a matting agent that:
- a. is present in an amount from 1 .6 to 10 weight percent of the base film
- b. has a median particle size from 1 .3 to 10 microns

- coverlay films comprising the base film in combination with an adhesive layer.
- the present disclosure is also directed to a base film comprising:
- the chemically converted polyimide being derived from:
- the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” “including,” “has,” “having” or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion.
- a method, process, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited only to those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such method, process, article, or apparatus.
- "or” refers to an inclusive or and not to an exclusive or. For example, a condition A or B is satisfied by any one of the following: A is true (or present) and B is false (or not present), A is false (or not present) and B is true (or present), and both A and B are true (or present).
- Dianhydride as used herein is intended to include precursors or derivatives thereof, which may not technically be a dianhydride but would nevertheless react with a diamine to form a polyamic acid which could in turn be converted into a polyimide.
- Diamine as used herein is intended to include precursors or derivatives thereof, which may not technically be a diamine but would nevertheless react with a dianhydride to form a polyamic acid which could in turn be converted into a polyimide.
- Polyamic acid as used herein is intended to include any polyimide precursor material derived from a combination of dianhydride and diamine monomers or functional equivalents thereof and capable of conversion to a polyimide via a chemical conversion process.
- Prepolymer as used herein is intended to mean a relatively low molecular weight polyamic acid solution which is prepared by using a stoichiometric excess of diamine in order to give a solution viscosity of approximately 50-100 Poise.
- Chemical conversion or “chemically converted” as used herein denotes the use of a catalyst (accelerator) or dehydrating agent (or both) to convert the polyamic acid to polyimide and is intended to include a partially chemically converted polyimide which is then dried at elevated temperatures to a solids level greater than 98%.
- Conversion chemicals or "imidization chemicals” as used herein denotes a catalyst (accelerator) capable of converting a polyamic acid to a polyimide and/or a dehydrating agent capable of converting a polyamic acid to a polyimide.
- “Finishing solution” herein denotes a dianyhdride in a polar aprotic solvent which is added to a prepolymer solution to increase the molecular weight and viscosity.
- the dianhydride used is typically the same dianhydride used (or one of the same dianhydrides when more than one is used) to make the prepolymer.
- the base films of the present disclosure comprise a filled polyimide matrix, where the polyimide is created by a chemical conversion process.
- a chemical conversion process over a solely thermal conversion process
- the amount of matting agent necessary to achieve sufficient low gloss is at least 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 percent less than if a thermal conversion process is used.
- Generally accepted ranges for 60 degree gloss values are:
- the base film has a 60 degree gloss value between and optionally including any two of the following: 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35. In some embodiments, the base film has a 60 degree gloss value from 2 to 35. In some embodiments, the base film has a 60 degree gloss value from 10 to 35. The 60 degree gloss value is measured using Micro-TRI-Gloss gloss meter. The lower loading of matting agent (made possible by the chemical conversion) is advantageous, because it: i.
- Another advantage of a chemical conversion process is that the dielectric strength of the chemically converted base films is higher.
- the base film dielectric strength is greater than 1400 V/mil (55 V/micron).
- the chemically converted polyimide is made by the step of mixing a polyamic acid solution with a catalyst or
- the chemically converted polyimide is made by the step of mixing a polyamic acid solution with a catalyst and dehydrating agent capable of converting a polyamic acid to a polyimide.
- the polyamic acid solution is either immersed in or mixed with conversion (imidization) chemicals.
- the conversion chemicals are tertiary amine catalysts (accelerators) and anhydride dehydrating materials.
- the anhydride dehydrating material is acetic anhydride, which is often used in molar excess relative to the amount of amic acid (amide acid) groups in the polyamic acid, typically about 1 .2 to 2.4 moles per equivalent of polyamic acid. In one embodiment, a comparable amount of tertiary amine catalyst is used.
- the tertiary amine catalysts are pyridine and beta-picoline and are typically used in amounts similar to the moles of anhydride dehydrating material. Lower or higher amounts may be used depending on the desired conversion rate and the catalyst used. Tertiary amines having approximately the same activity as the pyridine, and beta- picoline may also be used. These include alpha picoline; 3,4-lutidine; 3,5- lutidine; 4-methyl pyridine; 4-isopropyl pyridine; N,N-dimethylbenzyl amine; isoquinoline; 4-benzyl pyridine, ⁇ , ⁇ -dimethyldodecyl amine, triethyl amine, and the like.
- a variety of other catalysts for imidization are known in the art, such as imidazoles, and may be useful in accordance with the present disclosure.
- the conversion chemicals can generally react at about room temperature or above to convert polyamic acid to polyimide.
- the chemical conversion reaction occurs at temperatures from 15°C to 120°C with the reaction being very rapid at the higher temperatures and relatively slower at the lower temperatures.
- the chemically treated polyamic acid solution can be cast or extruded onto a heated conversion surface or substrate.
- the chemically treated polyamic acid solution can be cast on to a belt or drum.
- the solvent can be evaporated from the solution, and the polyamic acid can be partially chemically converted to polyimide.
- the resulting solution then takes the form of a polyamic acid- polyimide gel.
- the polyamic acid solution can be extruded into a bath of conversion chemicals consisting of an anhydride component (dehydrating agent), a tertiary amine component (catalyst) or both with or without a diluting solvent.
- a gel film is formed and the percent conversion of amic acid groups to imide groups in the gel film depends on contact time and temperature but is usually about 10 to 75 percent complete.
- the gel film typically must be dried at elevated temperature (from about 200°C, up to about 550°C), which will tend to drive the imidization to completion.
- elevated temperature from about 200°C, up to about 550°C
- the use of both a dehydrating agent and a catalyst is preferred for facilitating the formation of a gel film and achieve desired conversion rates.
- the gel film tends to be self-supporting in spite of its high solvent content.
- the gel film is subsequently dried to remove the water, residual solvent, and remaining conversion chemicals, and in the process the polyamic acid is essentially completely converted to polyimide (i.e., greater than 98% imidized).
- the drying can be conducted at relatively mild conditions without complete conversion of polyamic acid to polyimide at that time, or the drying and conversion can be conducted at the same time using higher temperatures.
- the base film can be held at the edges, such as in a tenter frame, using tenter clips or pins for restraint.
- High temperatures can be used for short times to dry the base film and induce further imidization to convert the gel film to a polyimide base film in the same step.
- the base film is heated to a temperature of 200°C to 550°C. Generally, less heat and time are required for thin films than for thicker films.
- the base film can be restrained from undue shrinking and, in fact, may be stretched by as much as 150 percent of its initial dimension.
- stretching can be in either the longitudinal direction or the transverse direction or both. If desired, restraint can also be adjusted to permit some limited degree of shrinkage.
- Another advantage is the chemically converted base films of the present disclosure are matte on both sides, even if cast onto a smooth surface. If both sides of the base film are matte, any additional layers may be applied to either side of the base film.
- similarly filled polyimide precursor films are solely thermally converted and cast on a smooth surface, the cast side tends to be glossy and the air side tends to be matte.
- the polyamic acids are made by dissolving approximately equimolar amounts of a dianhydride and a diamine in a solvent and agitating the resulting solution under controlled temperature conditions until polymerization of the dianhydride and the diamine is completed. Typically a slight excess of one of the monomers (usually diamine) is used to initially control the molecular weight and viscosity which can then be increased later via small additional amounts of the deficient monomer.

- a low conductivity carbon black is used.
- the amount of low conductivity carbon black and the thickness of the base film will generally impact the optical density. If the low conductivity carbon black loading level is unduly high, the base film will be conductive even when a low conductivity carbon black is used. If too low, the base film may not achieve the desired optical density and color. The low
- conductivity carbon black for the purpose of this disclosure, is used to impart the black color to the base film as well as to achieve the desired optical density of a base film having a thickness between and optionally including any two of the following: 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 1 10, 120, 130, 140 and 152 microns.

- the optical density (opacity) desirable is greater than or equal to 2.
- An optical density of 2 is intended to mean 1 x10 "2 or 1 % of light is transmitted through the base film.
- the low conductivity carbon black is a surface oxidized carbon black.
- One method for assessing the extent of surface oxidation (of the carbon black) is to measure the carbon black's volatile content. The volatile content can be measured by calculating weight loss when calcined at 950°C for 7 minutes.
- a highly surface oxidized carbon black (high volatile content) can be readily dispersed into a polyamic acid solution (polyimide precursor), which in turn can be imidized into a (well dispersed) filled polyimide base polymer of the present disclosure.

- a mixture of dye and pigment may be used.
- Polymeric materials typically have inherent surface gloss.
- various additive approaches are possible to achieve dull and low gloss surface characteristics.
- the additive approaches are all based upon the same fundamental physics - to create a modified surface which is (on a micro-scale) coarse and irregular shaped and therefore allows less light to be reflected back to the distant (e.g., greater than 50 centimeters) observer.
- the same source of light hits a matte (ie. irregular) surface, the light is scattered in many different directions and also a much higher fraction is absorbed.
- a matte ie. irregular
- Gloss meters used to characterize a specific surface for gloss level are based on this same principle.
- a light source hits a surface at a fixed angle and after reflection the amount of reflected light is read by a photo cell. Reflection can be read at multiple angles. Maximum gloss performance for a perfectly glossy surface tends to demonstrate 100% reflection, whereas a fully dull surface tends to demonstrate 0% reflection.
- Silicas are inorganic particles that can be ground and filtered to specific particle size ranges. The very irregular shape and porosity of silica particles and low cost make it a popular matting agent.

- a catalyst and/or dehydrating agent capable of converting a polyamic acid to a polyimide, or casting or extruding the polyamic acid in to a mixture or solution of catalyst and/or dehydrating agent
- the gel film that is produced by a chemical conversion process is self supporting in spite of its high solvent content. It was believed with the gel film having so much liquid that needs to be removed, that any filler would migrate with the removal of the large amount of liquids or even be carried out of the film with the solvent. If the filler in the polyimide gel film did migrate with the removal of solvent, the film would have the tendency to curl. A uniform dispersion is desired. Thus, it was believed that chemical conversion would not produce a filled polyimide film with a uniform dispersion sufficient to maintain properties over the entire film. Thus, Buch et al. does not contemplate the use of any amount of filler.

- the selection of filler is dependant on the desired use of the polyimide film. For example, boron nitride can be added to increase the thermal conductivity of a polyimide film. The more boron nitride added, the greater the thermal conductivity of the polyimide film.
- the filler is a thermally conductive filler.
- the filler is a dielectric filler. In another embodiment, the filler is a electrically conductive filler. In some embodiments, the filler is any filler useful in polyimides. There is a practical limitation to the amount of filler that can be incorporated in to a polyimide film of a given thickness, beyond which, processing the filled polyimide film becomes difficult due to the brittleness of the film.
- the filler when the filler is selected from the group consisting of talc, titanium dioxide, acicular titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, boron nitride, silica, fumed silica, alumina, fumed alumina, sepiolite, wollastonite and mixtures thereof, up to 9 weight percent of the filler can be replaced by low conductivity carbon black or pigment.

- the core layer allows the multilayer film to maintain acceptable mechanical properties.
- chemical conversion a single layer filled polyimide film can be produced and still maintain good mechanical properties.
- An additional advantage of chemical conversion is that a single layer filled polyimide film produced by chemical conversion can be made thinner than if thermal conversion was used.
- the base film comprises a chemically converted polyimide in an amount from 40 to 90 weight percent of the base film, a filler (or mixture of fillers) in an amount from10 to 60 wt % of the base film, and wherein the thickness of the base film is from 8 to 152 microns.

- the base film was prepared as in Comparative Example 13 except that the carbon black slurry was prepared from a furnace black with 1 .2% volatiles content (Printex 55, from Evonik Degussa). Results are shown in table 1
- Comparative Example 16 demonstrates that desirable 60 degree gloss value on the air side of the base film can be achieved with thermal conversion by using a high loading (30 weight %) of matting agent, but the other side of the base film has high (undesirable) 60 degree gloss value and that the dielectric strength is low.
- Carbon black and silica slurries were prepared as in Example 1 .
- the slurries were mixed with PMDA 4,4'ODA prepolymer solution (20.6% polyamic acid solids, approximately 4500 Poise viscosity), in amounts to yield 5 wt % carbon black and 30 wt % silica on a cured film basis.
- the mixture was adjusted to a viscosity of 300 Poise by incrementally adding a 6 wt % solution of PMDA in DMAC, with mixing.
- the finished polymer mixture was vacuum degassed. Using a stainless steel casting rod, a film was manually cast onto a glass plate.
- the glass plate containing the wet cast film was placed on a hot plate at 80-100°C for 30-45 minutes to form a partially dried, partially imidized "green" film.
- the green film was peeled from the glass and placed on a pin frame.
- the pin frame containing the green film was placed in a 120°C oven. The oven temperature was ramped to 320°C over a period of 60-75 minutes, held at 320°C for 10 minutes, then transferred to a 400°C oven and held for 5 minutes, then removed from the oven and allowed to cool.
- Results are shown in table 1 .
- Example 19 demonstrates that chemical conversion using a
- ultramarine blue pigment achieves low 60 degree gloss value (matte appearance) on both sides of base film and a significant increase in optical density.
- a silica slurry was prepared, consisting of 75.4 wt % DMAC, 9.6 wt % PMDA 4,4'ODA polyamic acid prepolymer solution (20.6 wt % polyamic acid solids in DMAC) and 15.0 wt % silica powder (Syloid® C 803, from W. R. Grace Co.). The ingredients were thoroughly mixed in a high shear rotor- stator type mixer. Median particle size was 3.3 - 3.6 microns.
- a blue pigment slurry was prepared by first dispersing 7.5 grams of ultramarine blue pigment (Nubicoat HWR, from Nubiola) in 38.9 grams of DMAC, and processing for 10 minutes with an ultrasonic processor (Sonics & Materials, Inc., Model VCX-500) in order to deagglomerate the pigment. The dispersion was then mixed with 3.6 grams of a PMDA/4,4'ODA polyamic acid prepolymer solution (20.6 wt % polyamic acid solids in DMAC).
- a PMDA/4,4'ODA prepolymer solution (20.6 wt % polyamic acid solids in DMAC) was finished by incrementally adding, with mixing, a 6 wt % solution of PMDA in DMAC, to achieve a final viscosity of about 3000 Poise.
- To 157.3 grams of the finished polyamic acid solution was added, with thorough mixing, 6.1 grams of silica slurry and 36.6 grams of blue pigment slurry.
- the finished polymer mixture was degassed. Using a stainless steel casting rod, the polymer mixture was manually cast onto a Mylar® polyethylene terephthalate sheet attached to a glass plate.
- the Mylar® polyethylene terephthalate sheet containing the wet cast film was immersed in a bath consisting of a 50/50 mixture of 3-picoline and acetic anhydride. The bath was gently agitated for a period of 3 to 4 minutes in order to effect imidization and gellation of the film.
- the gel film was peeled from the Mylar® polyethylene terephthalate sheet and placed on a pin frame to restrain the film and prevent shrinking. After allowing for residual solvent to drain from the film, the pin frame containing the film was placed in a 120°C oven.
- the oven temperature was ramped to 320°C over a period of 60 to 75 minutes, held at 320°C for 10 minutes, then transferred to a 400°C oven and held for 5 minutes, then removed from the oven and allowed to cool.
- the base film contained 2.5 wt % silica and 15 wt % pigment.
- Comparative Example 17 demonstrates thermal conversion with the same amount of matting agent as in example 19, produces a high
- the degassed finished polymer mixture from the Example 19 was manually cast onto a glass plate, using a stainless steel casting rod.
- the glass plate containing the wet cast film was placed on a hot plate at 80-100°C for 30-45 minutes to form a partially dried, partially imidized "green" film.
- the green film was peeled from the glass and placed on a pin frame.
- the pin frame containing the green film was placed in a 120°C oven.
- the oven temperature was ramped to 320°C over a period of 60 to 75 minutes, held at 320°C for 10 minutes, then transferred to a 400°C oven and held for 5 minutes, then removed from the oven and allowed to cool.
