DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is used as a metal wiring board base material for a flexible printed circuit or a tape automated bonding tape (TAB tape) having a metal wiring on its surface. High elastic modulus,
A copolymerized polyimide film having a low coefficient of thermal expansion, a low coefficient of hygroscopic expansion, and a low water absorption, and further having excellent alkali etching resistance, a method for producing the same, and a flexible printed circuit having the copolymerized polyimide film as a base material or The present invention relates to a metal wiring board for a tape automated bonding tape.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A TAB tape is provided with a very thin metal wiring on the surface of a heat-resistant film as a base material, and has a "window" for mounting an integrated circuit chip (IC) on the base material. Further, sprockets for precisely feeding the TAB tape are provided near both ends of the TAB tape.

In the above TAB tape, an IC is inserted into a "window" opened in the TAB tape, joined to metal wiring provided on the surface of the TAB tape, and then mounted on the TAB tape.
By joining the tape to the printed circuit for wiring electronic devices, the process of mounting the IC on the electronic circuit is automated, the process is simplified, the productivity is improved, and the electrical characteristics of the electronic device on which the IC is mounted are improved. Has been used to improve.

[0004] The TAB tape has a three-layer structure in which a conductive metal foil is laminated on the surface of a heat-resistant base film via an adhesive such as a polyester base, an acrylic base, an epoxy base or a polyimide base. When,
One having a two-layer structure in which a conductive metal layer is directly laminated on the surface of a heat-resistant base film without using an adhesive is used.

[0005] Therefore, the base film of the TAB tape is required to have heat resistance. In particular, the bonding between the IC and the metal wiring on the TAB tape and the connection between the TAB tape mounting the IC and the printed circuit for electronic equipment wiring are required. Conventionally, a polyimide film has been used so as to withstand high temperatures such as solder welding applied to a base film at the time of joining.

However, when a polyimide film and a metal foil or a metal layer are laminated and a metal wiring is formed by chemical etching of the metal foil or the metal layer, the difference in dimensional change between the polyimide film and the metal due to the heat received. If the deformation of the TAB tape is large, the workability is significantly impaired or sometimes impossible when mounting the IC or joining the TAB tape mounting the IC to the printed circuit for wiring the electronic device. Because it will be
It is required that the thermal expansion coefficient of the polyimide film be approximated to that of metal to reduce the deformation of the TAB tape.

Also, by reducing the water absorption and the coefficient of humidity expansion of the polyimide film to reduce the dimensional change of the TAB tape due to the change in the humidity of the working environment, the metal wiring can be made finer and the strain load on the metal wiring can be reduced. In addition, there is a strong demand for reducing the distortion load of the mounted IC.

Further, it is possible to reduce a dimensional change due to a tensile force or a compressive force applied to a TAB tape mounted on an IC and bonded to a printed circuit for electronic device wiring, to reduce the size of the metal wiring and to reduce the distortion to the metal wiring. Load reduction and mounted IC
This is important for reducing the strain load on the substrate, and a higher elastic modulus is required for the polyimide film as the base material.

In addition, when bonding with an IC, there is a case where "gold plating" is formed on the wiring on the polyimide film as a base material and connected, and a strong alkali solution is used as the gold plating solution in some cases. In many cases, when the polyimide film is attacked by a plating solution at that time, the wiring on the polyimide film is easily peeled off. Therefore, a demand for a polyimide film excellent in alkali-resistant etching is increasing.

Conventional methods aimed at obtaining a copolymerized polyimide film satisfying these required properties include:

There has been proposed a TAB tape in which an adhesive layer and a protective layer are provided on a copolymerized polyimide film produced from copolymerized polyamic acid.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional method, when used as a metal wiring board substrate, a high elastic modulus, a low coefficient of thermal expansion, a low coefficient of hygroscopic expansion, a low coefficient of water absorption, and a resistance to alkali etching are highly balanced. A satisfactory copolymerized polyimide film could not be obtained, and further improvement was required.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The configuration and effects of the present invention will be described below in detail.

The copolymerized polyimide constituting the film of the present invention can be either a block polymer or a random polymer, but is preferably a copolymerized polyimide having a block copolymer component.

In this case, a preferable block copolymer component is a polyamic acid comprising phenylenediamine and pyromellitic dianhydride, or phenylenediamine and 3,3 ', 4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride. It is a polyamic acid, and after forming a copolymerized polyamic acid containing these block components, it is imide-converted to a copolymerized polyimide containing a block component.

The reaction for forming the four-component copolymeric polyamic acid is carried out at least in two parts, and the copolymerized polyamic acid containing the block component is formed, and incorporated into the copolymerized polyimide polymer by imide conversion.

The four-component copolymerized polyimide polymer of the present invention allows flexible printed circuit or tape automated joining (Tape).
Automated Bonding) When applied to metal wiring board base material for TAB tapes, high elastic modulus, low thermal expansion coefficient,
It is possible to realize a copolymerized polyimide film that satisfies a high level by balancing the low coefficient of moisture absorption expansion, the low water absorption and the alkali etching property.

By incorporating a copolymerized block component into the copolymerized polyimide polymer, the above-mentioned properties can be set in more preferable ranges. Particularly preferred blocking components in this case are those obtained by reaction with phenylenediamine and pyromellitic dianhydride.

The diamine used in the present invention includes:
An inflexible diamine such as phenylenediamine,
With flexible diamines such as bisaminophenoxybenzene. The copolymerized polyimide is used in an amount of about 10 to 90 mol%, preferably 10 to 7 mol%, based on the total molar amount of the diamine.
It is produced by imid conversion of a copolyamide obtained using 0 mol% of phenylenediamine. In the present invention, phenylenediamine acts to increase the modulus of the film.

As the phenylenediamine used in the present invention, besides p-phenylenediamine, m-phenylenediamine, o-phenylenediamine and the like, a phenylenediamine partially having a substituent can be used. Is p-phenylenediamine.

Particularly preferred is 1,3-bis (4-aminophenoxy)
Benzene is used. In the present invention, bisaminophenoxybenzene acts to lower the water absorption.

The tetracarboxylic dianhydride used in the present invention includes a non-flexible tetracarboxylic dianhydride such as pyromellitic dianhydride, 3,3 ′, 4,
And flexible tetracarboxylic dianhydrides such as 4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride. The copolymerized polyimide contains about 10 to 90 mol%, preferably 20 to 90 mol% of 3,3 ', based on the total molar amount of dianhydride.
It is produced by imid conversion of a four-component copolymer polyamic acid obtained by using 4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride.

The performance of the copolymerized polyimide film depends on the ratio of the phenylenediamine component in the diamine component used in the production of the copolymerized polyamic acid and the 3,3 ′, 4,4 ′ in the tetracarboxylic dianhydride component. -Can be adjusted by the use ratio of biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride. When a large amount of phenylenediamine component is used, while the high elastic modulus and the dimensional stability are improved, there is a disadvantage that the water absorption is increased, and in order to lower the water absorption,
Although a large amount of 3,3 ', 4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride can be used, in this case, the elastic modulus and dimensional stability are reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully adjust the molar ratio of each component in order to balance each characteristic value. According to the present invention, by preferably employing a copolymerized polyimide containing a block copolymer component, a low water absorption, a high elastic modulus and dimensional stability can be easily realized in a well-balanced manner.

The four-component copolymeric polyamic acid of the present invention comprises 1
At a temperature of 75 ° C. or lower, preferably 90 ° C. or lower, the molar ratio of the tetracarboxylic dianhydride component and the diamine component is about 0.90 to 1.10, preferably 0.95 to 1.
05, more preferably from 0.98 to 1.02, and produced by reacting each component with a non-reactive organic solvent.

Each of the above-mentioned components may be independently and sequentially supplied to an organic solvent, may be simultaneously supplied, or an organic solvent may be supplied to a mixed component. In order to achieve this, it is preferable to sequentially add each component to the organic solvent.

In the case of sequentially supplying each component, it is preferable to supply the diamine component and the tetracarboxylic dianhydride component, which are to be copolymerized block components, with priority. That is, in order to produce a copolymerized polyamic acid containing a copolymerized block component, the reaction is carried out at least twice, and firstly, a copolymerized polyamic acid containing a copolymerized block component is obtained. Is converted into an imide, whereby a copolymerized block component is incorporated into the obtained copolymerized polyimide.

The time required to form the copolymerized block component of the copolymerized polyamic acid may be determined by the reaction temperature and the ratio of the block component in the copolymerized polyamic acid. About 20 hours is appropriate.

Specifically, 3,3 ', 4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA), and diamine components as tetracarboxylic dianhydride components PMDA and PDA using p-phenylenediamine (PDA) and 1,3-bis (4-aminophenoxy) benzene (RODA)
A production example of a copolymerized polyimide polymer containing a copolymerized block component of the following will be described below.

First, PDA is dissolved in dimethylacetamide (DMAc) as an organic solvent, and PMDA is added to complete the reaction of the block component. Next, after adding and dissolving RODA to the solution, BPDA is added to the solution and reacted to obtain a four-component copolymer polyamic acid solution containing a copolymer block component of PDA and PMDA.

In this case, a small amount of RODA may be added to the PDA supplied first, or PDA and P
It is also possible to control the size of the copolymer block component by making the molar ratio with MDA unequal, but in order to make the effect of the copolymer block component effective, PDA
It is preferable to make the molar ratio between PMDA and PMDA substantially equal.

The end point of the production of the four-component copolymeric polyamic acid is determined by the polyamic acid concentration of the solution and the viscosity of the solution. In order to accurately determine the viscosity of the solution at the end point, it is effective to add a part of the finally supplied component as a solution of an organic solvent used in the reaction, but it does not significantly reduce the polyamic acid concentration. Such adjustment is necessary.

If the amount of BPDA is larger than the amount of PMDA, gelation may occur during the polymerization reaction or during imidization. For the purpose of preventing gelation due to BPDA, it is also preferable to add a terminal blocking agent such as dicarboxylic anhydride and silylating agent in the range of 0.001 to 2% based on the solid content (polymer concentration). I can do it. Acetic anhydride or phthalic anhydride as the dicarboxylic anhydride,
Non-halogen based hexamethyldisilazane, N, O- (bistrimethylsilyl) acetamide, and N, N-bis (trimethylsilyl) urea are particularly preferably used as silylating agents.

The concentration of the copolymerized polyamic acid in the solution is 5 to 40% by weight, preferably 10 to 30% by weight.

The organic solvent is selected from those which are non-reactive with the respective components and the copolymerized polyamic acid as a polymerization product, are capable of dissolving all of the components and dissolve the copolymerized polyamic acid. Is preferred.

Preferred organic solvents include N, N-dimethylacetamide, N, N-diethylacetamide,
N, N-dimethylformamide, N, N-diethylformamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, and the like,
These can be used alone or as a mixture, and in some cases, can be used in combination with a poor solvent such as benzene.

In producing the copolymerized polyimide film of the present invention, the four-component copolymerized polyamic acid solution thus obtained is pressurized by an extruder or a gear pump and sent to a process for producing a copolymerized polyamic acid film.

The four-component copolymerized polyamic acid solution is filtered to remove foreign substances, solids, high-viscosity impurities, and the like mixed in the raw materials or produced in the polymerization step, and is used for a film forming die or a coating head. Is formed into a film, extruded onto a rotating or moving support, and heated from the support to produce a copolyamide acid-copolyimide gel film in which the copolyamide is partially imidized, When the gel film becomes self-supporting and can be peeled off from the support, it is peeled off from the support, introduced into a drier, heated in a drier, and the solvent is dried to complete the imide conversion. A polymerized polyimide film is produced.

The imide conversion of the copolymerized polyamic acid can be carried out by a thermal conversion method using only heating, a heat treatment of the copolymerized polyamic acid mixed with the imidizing agent, or a method of converting the copolymerized polyamic acid into a bath of the imidizing agent. Although any of the chemical conversion methods of immersion can be adopted, in the present invention, the chemical conversion method is more flexible than the thermal conversion method, and is a flexible printed circuit or Tape Automated Bonding tape (TAB tape). When applied to a metal wiring board substrate for (1), it is suitable for achieving a high degree of elasticity, a low coefficient of thermal expansion, a low coefficient of hygroscopic expansion, a low coefficient of water absorption, and alkali etching resistance.

In addition, the method of mixing the imide conversion agent with the four-component copolymer polyamic acid by the chemical conversion method, forming the mixture into a film, and heat-treating the mixture results in short time required for the imide conversion and uniform imide conversion. In addition to the advantages, it is easy to peel off from the support, furthermore, it has an advantage such as strong odor and the ability to handle the imide conversion agent requiring isolation in a closed system, etc., after forming the copolymeric polyamic acid film. The method is preferably employed as compared with a method of immersing in a bath of a conversion agent or a dehydrating agent.

In the present invention, a tertiary amine which promotes imide conversion and a dehydrating agent which absorbs water generated by imide conversion are used in combination as the imide conversion agent. The tertiary amines are added and mixed in an approximately equimolar to slightly excessive amount with the copolymerized polyamic acid, and the dehydrating agent is added in an amount about 2 times the molar amount or slightly in excess of the copolymerized polyamic acid. Adjusted appropriately to adjust the points.

The imide conversion agent may be added at any time after the completion of the polymerization of the copolymerized polyamic acid, at any time when the copolymerized polyamic acid solution reaches the film forming die or the coating head. In order to prevent the imide conversion in the above, it is preferable to add the mixture shortly before reaching the die for forming a film or the coating head and mix the mixture with a mixer.

As the tertiary amine, pyridine or β-
Although picoline is preferred, α-picoline, 4-methylpyridine, isoquinoline, triethylamine and the like can also be used. The amount used is adjusted according to the respective activity.

As the dehydrating agent, acetic anhydride is most generally used, but propionic anhydride, butyric anhydride, benzoic acid, formic anhydride and the like can also be used.

The copolymerized polyamic acid film containing the imidization agent is subjected to imidization by the heat received from the support and the space on the opposite side of the support, and a partially imidized copolyamide-copolyimide gel is obtained. It becomes a film and is peeled from the support.

In this case, the larger the amount of heat applied from the support and the space on the opposite surface, the more the imide conversion is promoted and the faster the film peels off, but if the amount of heat is too large, the gas of the organic solvent between the support and the gel film becomes gel. Since the film is deformed and becomes a defect of the film, it is desirable to determine the amount of heat in consideration of the position of the peeling point and the defect of the film.

The gel film peeled off from the support is introduced into a dryer, where the solvent is dried and the imidization is completed.

This gel film contains a large amount of an organic solvent, and its volume is greatly reduced during the drying process. Therefore, in order to concentrate the dimensional shrinkage due to the volume reduction in the thickness direction, both ends of the gel film are gripped with a tenter clip, and the gel film is introduced into a dryer (tenter) by the movement of the tenter clip. It is common practice to heat and consistently perform solvent drying and imidization.

The drying and the imidization are carried out at a temperature of from 200 to 500 ° C. The drying temperature and the imide conversion temperature may be the same temperature or different temperatures, but in the stage of drying a large amount of the solvent, prevent the bumping of the solvent as a lower temperature, and when there is no possibility of bumping of the solvent, raise the temperature to a higher temperature. Preferably, the temperature is increased stepwise so as to promote imide conversion.

In the tenter, the distance between the tenter clips at both ends of the film can be expanded or reduced to stretch or relax.

It preferably contains a copolymer block component,
A cut sheet-shaped copolymerized polyimide film obtained by imide conversion by a chemical conversion method can be produced by cutting from a continuous film produced as described above. As shown in the examples, in a resin or glass flask,
Preferably, a copolymerized polyamic acid containing a copolymerized block component is produced, and a mixed solution obtained by mixing a chemical conversion agent with the copolymerized polyamic acid solution is cast on a support such as a glass plate and heated. As a partially imidized self-supporting copolyamide-copolyimide gel film, peeled from the support, fixed to a metal fixing frame or the like and heated while preventing dimensional change, solvent Can be produced by a method of drying and imide conversion.

Thus, the copolymerized polyimide film of the present invention obtained by the imide conversion by the chemical conversion method is more flexible than the copolymerized polyimide film obtained by the thermal conversion method. Automated tape joining
(Tape Automated Bonding) When applied to a metal wiring board base material for tape (TAB tape), it is suitable for achieving a high degree of elasticity, a low coefficient of thermal expansion, a low coefficient of hygroscopic expansion, and a low coefficient of water absorption in a balanced and high degree. And has excellent alkali etching resistance.

Therefore, a metal wiring board for a flexible printed circuit or a tape automated bonding tape having a metal wiring on the surface thereof using the copolymerized polyimide film of the present invention as a base material has a high elastic modulus and low thermal expansion. It exhibits high-performance characteristics in which the coefficient, low coefficient of hygroscopic expansion, low water absorption and alkali etching resistance are balanced and highly satisfied.

Incidentally, in the copolymerized polyimide film of the present invention, the elastic modulus is preferably 500 kg / cm ² or more, the thermal expansion coefficient is preferably 10 to 20 ppm / ° C., and the water absorption is 2% or less, particularly preferably. 1% or less. As for the alkali etching resistance, it is a preferable condition that the surface is not attacked. The evaluation method is described below, but the evaluation can be performed under alkaline conditions stronger than the plating solution used, and the erosion rate of the surface can be evaluated.
