Description

  The present invention relates to a multilayer wiring board and a multilayer wiring board, and more particularly to a multilayer wiring board substrate and a flexible multilayer wiring board used for wiring boards and package substrates on which electronic components are mounted.

  As electronic devices become lighter and shorter, semiconductor chips and components are miniaturized, and terminals have a narrower pitch, printed wiring boards (wiring boards) are also being reduced in mounting area and finer wiring. At the same time, in information-related equipment, it is required to shorten the distance of wiring connecting parts in response to the widening of signal frequency, and it is necessary to increase the number of printed wiring boards to achieve high density and high performance. It has become indispensable.

  In a multilayer printed wiring board (multilayer wiring board), a via hole (through hole) is formed in an insulating base material, and the conductive resin composition (conductive paste) is filled in the buyer hole, thereby providing conduction between the front and back of the substrate. There are those that obtain (interlayer conduction) (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2), and those in which the insulating base material is formed of a flexible resin film such as polyimide (for example, Patent Document 3). And with the increase in the density of multilayer wiring boards, miniaturization of wiring patterns (conductor patterns) formed on the wiring boards has progressed, and the number of layers tends to increase.

  As an interlayer connection technique for multilayer lamination of multilayer wiring boards, multilayer wiring boards using the above-described conductive paste have been put into practical use, and the applications of multilayer wiring boards have begun to expand rapidly. Multi-layer wiring boards using conductive paste can be filled at high speed with good workability into via holes formed on the insulating substrate of printed wiring boards by screen printing. The property is remarkably high.

  Also, starting from a film with copper foil having a conductor layer forming a wiring pattern on one surface of the insulating base material, a cover layer made of PET or the like on the surface of the insulating base material (the surface opposite to the conductor layer) By forming a (mask film) to form a via hole, filling the conductive paste from the cover layer side by screen printing or the like, temporarily curing the conductive paste, and then removing the cover layer, the cover layer A multilayer wiring substrate in which a protrusion is formed by a conductive paste having a height corresponding to the thickness of the substrate has been proposed (for example, Patent Documents 4, 5, and 6).

  In this multi-layer wiring substrate, the conductive paste protrusions are pressed against or pierced the surface of the conductive wiring pattern by the pressing pressure during the multi-layering process, thereby conducting the conductive paste between the via hole and the wiring pattern. In order to improve the contact, the contact resistance between the conductive paste and the wiring pattern is lowered.

  However, when this method is used, there is a problem that distortion occurs in the thickness direction due to the difference in protrusion between the conductive paste and the hardness of the adhesive that performs interlayer adhesion when pressing in the multilayering process. Problems of the multilayer wiring board using the multilayer wiring substrate having the protrusions made of the conductive paste will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 (a) and 9 (b).

  The multilayer wiring substrate is obtained by laminating and bonding two multilayer wiring substrates 100 and 110.

  The upper-layer multilayer wiring substrate 100 has a conductive pattern 102 formed on one surface (upper surface) of an insulating substrate 101 made of a polyimide resin film or the like, and a film shape on the other surface (lower surface) of the insulating substrate 101. The adhesive layer 103 is bonded, and the conductive paste 105 is filled in the via hole 104 formed in the insulating base material 101 and the film-like adhesive layer 103, and the protrusion 106 by the conductive paste 105 is formed on the film-like adhesive layer 103 side. Have

  The lowermost multilayer wiring substrate 110 has a conductor pattern 112 formed on one surface (upper surface) of an insulating substrate 111 made of a polyimide resin film or the like.

  The multilayer wiring substrates 100 and 110 are bonded to each other by the film adhesive layer 103 by a hot press and laminated. As shown in FIG. 9 (b), the protrusion 106 strongly adheres to the conductor pattern 112 of the lower multilayer wiring substrate 110 during lamination, and plays a role of strengthening electrical connection.

  However, since the multilayer wiring substrates 100 and 110 are laminated by hot pressing, the adhesive layer 103 is softened and has fluidity during the lamination process, and the protrusion 106 of the conductive paste 105 is compared with the adhesive layer 103. Since it is hard, as shown in FIG. 9B and FIG. 10, wavy distortion occurs in the laminate.

  This wavy distortion becomes prominent in a flexible multilayer wiring board in which the insulating substrate 101 is made of a flexible film such as polyimide.

  Such wavy distortion is a cause of hindering the mounting performance of the electronic component. Further, as shown in FIG. 10, in the interlayer conductive portion that is not via-on-via, the connection reliability is hindered.

JP-A-6-302957 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-82835 JP 2001-237512 A JP-A-7-147464 JP 2002-26522 A JP 2002-353619 A

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the multilayer wiring substrate is laminated due to the difference in hardness between the adhesive layer and the conductive material filled with the via hole by the conductive paste when the multilayer wiring substrate is multilayered. This is to avoid the occurrence of wavy distortion in the body, that is, the multilayer wiring board, and to improve the mounting performance of the electronic component.

  The multilayer wiring substrate according to the present invention has a conductor layer formed to form a wiring layer on one surface of the insulating substrate, and on the other surface side of the insulating substrate. A multi-layer wiring substrate having an adhesive layer and having interlayer connection by a conductive material filled in a through-hole penetrating the conductor layer and the adhesive layer, the insulating substrate and the adhesive layer A strain suppression layer is provided therebetween, and the strain suppression layer is made of a resin sheet having higher rigidity than the insulating base material.

  In the base material for multilayer wiring according to the present invention, preferably, the strain suppression layer is arranged separately in a plurality.

  In the multi-layer wiring substrate according to the present invention, preferably, the distortion suppression is arranged in a plurality of pieces by a lattice-like or mesh-like slit.

  The base material for multilayer wiring according to the present invention is preferably a base material for a flexible multilayer wiring board in which the insulating base material is made of a flexible material.

    The multilayer wiring board according to the present invention includes the substrate for multilayer wiring according to the above-described invention.

  In the multilayer wiring substrate according to the present invention, a strain suppression layer made of a resin sheet or the like having a rigidity higher than that of the metal foil or the insulating substrate is present between the insulating substrate and the adhesive layer. And the conductive material filled in the through-holes avoids the occurrence of wavy distortion in the multilayer wiring substrate (multilayer wiring substrate) that is a laminate of the multilayer wiring substrate. .

  Thereby, the flatness of the multilayer wiring board is improved, and the mounting performance of the electronic components on the multilayer wiring board is improved.

  One embodiment of a substrate for multilayer wiring, a multilayer wiring board and a manufacturing process thereof according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, copper foil layers (conductor layers) 12 and 13 are provided on both surfaces of an insulating base material 11 made of a flexible resin film made of polyimide, thermoplastic polyimide, liquid crystal polymer, or the like. A double-sided copper-clad laminate (for example, copper foil thickness 10 μm, polyimide film thickness 25 μm) 10 is used as a starting material, and copper foil layers 12 and 13 are made of iron chloride as shown in FIG. Etching is performed by the copper etching method.

  The copper foil layer 12 is formed with a wiring pattern by etching to form a wiring layer 14.

  The copper foil layer 13 is removed by etching so that a portion of a through hole (via hole) formation scheduled portion A for interlayer conduction is sufficiently larger than the inner diameter of a through hole 18 described later, thereby forming a strain suppression layer 15. .

  The strain suppression layer 15 can also be patterned so as not to overlap the wiring pattern of the wiring layer 14 as shown in FIG. Thereby, the thickness and the rigidity in the thickness direction become uniform in the plane.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 1C, a film-like thermosetting adhesive sheet (for example, made of an epoxy resin and an acrylic elastomer) is formed on the surface of the insulating base 11 on the strain suppression layer 15 side. The adhesive layer 16 is formed by heat laminating at a thickness of 25 μm) at 100 ° C. for 30 seconds.

  Thereby, between the insulating base material 11 and the contact bonding layer 16, the distortion suppression layer 15 is interposed in the state pinched | interposed into these.

  Further, as a cover layer 17, for example, a polyimide film (thickness: 25 μm) is thermally laminated at 100 ° C. for 30 seconds and bonded to the surface of the adhesive layer 16.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 1 (d), the insulating base material 11, the adhesive layer 16, and the cover layer are formed at a predetermined position (through hole formation scheduled portion A) by a UV-YAG laser (wavelength 335 nm). A through hole (via hole) 18 penetrating 17 is opened. The through hole 18 is a hole for interlayer conduction having a hole diameter of about 100 μm and reaching the back surface of the wiring layer 14 and having the back surface of the wiring layer 14 as a bottom surface of the hole.

  A small hole 19 having a hole diameter of about 30 μm is formed through the central position of the portion where the wiring layer 14 corresponds to the through hole 18. The small holes 19 are provided so that the conductive paste can be filled smoothly by acting as an air vent hole in the subsequent conductive paste filling step.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 1 (e), while the air is sucked from the small holes 19 under reduced pressure, the conductive paste 20 is made small from the through holes 18 by screen printing using a squeegee 50 from the cover layer 17 side. The holes 19 are filled. As shown in FIG. 1 (f), the conductive paste 20 is completely filled until it reaches the surface of the cover layer 17.

  The conductive paste 20 is a paste obtained by mixing a metal powder having a conductive function such as a mixture of silver, copper, and carbon in a resin binder with a viscous medium containing a solvent.

  The filling of the conductive paste 20 can also be performed by a dispersion method, an ink jet method, or the like other than the screen printing method using the squeegee 50.

  After completing the filling of the conductive paste 20, the conductive paste 20 is semi-cured by heating.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 1G, the cover layer 17 is removed by peeling or the like. As a result, an interlayer conductive portion is formed by the conductive paste 20 including the protruding portion 21 protruding outward from the surface of the adhesive layer 16 by an amount corresponding to the thickness of the peeled cover layer 17. A sheet of multilayer wiring substrate 30 is completed.

  In addition, since the strain suppression layer 15 is removed with a diameter sufficiently larger than the inner diameter of the through hole 18 in the interlayer conductive portion formed by the conductive paste 20, it is electrically short-circuited with the conductive paste 20 in the interlayer conductive portion. There is nothing.

  1 (h) and 1 (i) show a manufacturing process of a multilayer wiring board using the multilayer wiring substrate 30. FIG.

  The multilayer wiring substrate 30 is a multilayer wiring substrate on the upper layer side of the multilayer wiring board. In this embodiment, the lowermost multilayer wiring substrate 40 forms a two-layer multilayer wiring board.

  The lowermost multilayer wiring substrate 40 has a wiring layer 42 formed by etching a copper foil layer on one surface of a flexible insulating substrate 41 made of polyimide, thermoplastic polyimide, liquid crystal polymer, or the like. Have.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (h), the multilayer wiring substrate 30 is vertically aligned from the state shown in FIG. 1 (g) and aligned and arranged on the multilayer wiring substrate 40. The The multilayer wiring substrates 30 and 40 are laminated and adhered to each other by the adhesive layer 16 as shown in FIG. By this heating, the conductive paste 20 forming the interlayer conductive portion is fully cured (completely cured).

  As a result of this lamination, the conductive paste 20 is in a state in which the protrusion 21 hits the lower wiring layer 42 as indicated by reference numeral 22 and is crushed. The wiring layer 42 is electrically connected.

  In such a laminating and bonding step, the strain suppressing layer 15 having higher rigidity (made of copper foil: high hardness) than the insulating base material 11 is lined on the adhesive layer 16 side of the insulating base material 11. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of wavy distortion in the insulating base material 11 and the adhesive layer 16 due to the difference in hardness between the adhesive layer 16 and the conductive paste 20. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 1I, a multilayer wiring board excellent in smoothness, in particular, a flexible multilayer wiring board is obtained, and the mounting performance of electronic components on the flexible multilayer wiring board is improved.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of a three-layer multilayer wiring board including two multilayer wiring substrates 30 and a lowermost multilayer wiring substrate 40. 2, parts corresponding to those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1, and description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 2, even in a multilayer wiring board including an interlayer conductive portion that is not via-on-via, the strain suppressing layer 15 having higher rigidity (hardness) than the insulating base material 11 is provided with the insulating base material 11. Therefore, a wavy distortion occurs in the insulating substrate 11 and the adhesive layer 16 due to the difference in hardness between the adhesive layer 16 and the conductive paste 20. It is suppressed.

  When the strain suppression layer 15 is a copper foil layer as in the above-described embodiment, a general-purpose double-sided copper-clad laminate can be used as a starting material, so that the manufacturing process can be simplified and manufactured at low cost. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the strain suppression layer 15 may be a sheet-like material having higher rigidity (high hardness) than the insulating base material 11. In the case of a flexible multilayer wiring board, the strain suppression layer 15 needs to have a degree of flexibility that does not significantly hinder the flexibility of the flexible multilayer wiring board.

  As a strain suppression layer satisfying this condition, there is a strain suppression layer 25 made of a resin film having adhesiveness as shown in FIG. 3 in addition to the strain suppression layer 15 made of a copper foil layer.

  Since the strain suppression layer 25 made of a resin film has electrical insulation, it does not require consideration to avoid an electrical short circuit with the conductive paste 2 in the interlayer conductive portion. Accordingly, the strain suppression layer 25 may be provided with a through-hole having the same diameter as the through-hole 18 (see FIG. 1D) at the time of via-hole molding, and the number of processes is not increased.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a plurality of product parts 61 are punched out from one large multilayer wiring substrate 60 and a plurality of product parts are formed from one multilayer wiring substrate 60. In the case of obtaining 61, that is, in the case where the product part 61 has a part that becomes a skeleton-like surplus part 62 by punching the product part 61 around the product part 61, You may make it arrange | position the distortion suppression layer 15 only in the surplus margin part 62. FIG.

  Even in such a case, the surplus margin 62 may cause undulating distortion in the insulating base material 11 and the adhesive layer 16 due to the difference in hardness between the adhesive layer 16 and the conductive paste 20 during lamination. It is suppressed by the strain suppression layer 15. And since the distortion suppression layer 15 unnecessary as a product does not exist in the product part 61, the distortion suppression layer 15 does not reduce the electrical reliability of the product part 61.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8, the strain suppression layer 15 may have a lattice shape or a mesh shape.

  In this case, during heat curing, moisture generated between the insulating base material 11 and the strain suppression layer 15 can easily escape to the outside, and the adhesive force between the insulating base material 11 and the strain suppression layer 15 is reduced. Is prevented. In addition, when the adhesive layer 16 enters the slit 24, the interlayer adhesive strength by the adhesive layer 16 is also improved.
