Description

The present invention relates to a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet that can be easily peeled off from an adherend by reducing the adhesive force by heat treatment, and is suitable for a processing step to an electronic component or the like.
In addition, as an industrial application field, the present invention relates to processing of electronic parts (for example, semiconductor wafers, multilayer ceramic parts, film-like semiconductor parts) (for polishing, dicing, circuit formation, etc.).

  The manufacturing process of an electronic component such as a multilayer ceramic capacitor, a semiconductor wafer, or a film-like semiconductor includes a step of processing the electronic component in a state of being attached to an adhesive sheet (for example, a substrate dicing step). As the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, many heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets that can be peeled off by heat treatment are used. Since the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has a heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing heat-peelable microspheres, an electronic component (adhered body) is adhered and fixed to the surface of the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. Thus, the adherend can be subjected to desired processing, and after processing, the heat-expandable microspheres in the heat-expandable adhesive layer are expanded by heating to reduce or eliminate the adhesive force. It is characterized by being easily peelable from the body.

  However, when an electronic component or the like is processed using the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, for example, in the back grinding process included in the semiconductor wafer manufacturing process, a large surface stress is applied to the adherend in contact with the thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The problem is that the uneven shape of the thermally expandable microspheres in the thermally expandable adhesive layer is transferred to the surface of the adherend, and the thickness of the adherend varies due to the transferred unevenness, resulting in a decrease in processing accuracy. There is.

  In the process of pouring a liquid resin such as a silicone resin or an epoxy resin into an adherend adhered to the surface of the heat-expandable adhesive layer of the adhesive sheet or a mold having the adherend inside, and heating and curing the resin. When the resin is cured, the irregularities of the thermally expandable microspheres are transferred to the surface of the adherend contacting the thermally expandable adhesive layer, or the irregularities of the thermally expandable microspheres partially expanded at a low temperature due to the curing temperature of the resin. There is a case to transfer.

Moreover, in order to prevent the adherend after processing or the adherend itself from warping, there is a so-called pedestal method in which a support is pasted to an adhesive sheet to which the adherend is attached. It has been adopted. For example, in the back grinding process of the semiconductor wafer, a wafer to be ground is attached to the surface of the heat-expandable double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, and the opposite surface (for example, the substrate surface) of the heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is attached. A method of performing processing by bonding a pedestal wafer as a support is performed. However, in such a case, a large amount of organic contamination due to the cohesive failure of the pressure-sensitive adhesive in which the thermally expandable microspheres are thermally expanded is observed on the adherend (wafer) after heat separation, In some cases, this may cause problems in the subsequent process.
As described in Patent Document 1 for this problem, the base material is composed of a heat-expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing heat-expandable microspheres on one side, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive or an energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive on the other side. There has been known a method of easily recovering a processed adherend without damage by processing using a heat-peelable double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet provided with an adhesive layer.

Patent No. 4428908

  However, the conventional energy ray curable heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet used in this method does not have sufficient adhesion between the cured energy ray curable elastic layer and the substrate, and the energy ray curable elastic layer Since peeling (throwing destruction) may partially occur between the materials and adhesive residue may be generated on the adherend, it is necessary to eliminate such troubles.

  As a result of earnest research on the throwing and peeling of the conventional energy ray curable heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, the inventors of the present invention have revealed that a method for chemically increasing the affinity between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the substrate and the surface of the substrate The present inventors have newly found that the above-described throwing-off cannot be effectively prevented by a method used in a normal pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, such as a method of forming fine irregularities on the surface to increase the contact area between the two. And the trial and error about the structure of the heat-peelable adhesive sheet which can suppress the throwing destruction about this kind of adhesive sheet effectively was repeated, and it came to completion of the following this invention.

  As a result of diligent research to solve the above problems, in response to these problems, first, an organic coating layer is provided between the base material and the energy ray curable elastic layer to thereby provide the energy ray curable elastic layer. It has been found that it is possible to prevent adhesive residue from being produced at the time of peeling by improving the adhesion to the substrate.

Hereinafter, the structure of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
As described above, the heat-peelable sheet of the present invention is a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet in which a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing thermally expandable microspheres is provided on one surface of a substrate, The heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is characterized in that an energy ray-curable elastic layer that is cured via an organic coating layer is disposed on the surface.
The energy ray-curable elastic layer of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet has adhesiveness, the energy ray-curable elastic layer adheres to a workpiece such as a device, and the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is attached to a support or the like. By being bonded, the workpiece is fixed on the support by the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention. Thereafter, the workpiece is subjected to one or more kinds of arbitrary processing such as various mechanical processing such as cutting and polishing, physical processing such as light irradiation, and chemical processing such as exposure to a specific gas atmosphere. Apply.
Subsequently, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention is heated to foam thermally expandable microspheres, whereby the workpiece and the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention are peeled from the support. Next, the workpiece is peeled from the energy ray-curable elastic layer of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention.
By such a method, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention is used.

Next, each layer constituting the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention will be described.
[Base material]
The base material 1 serves as a support base for the organic coating layer 2, the energy ray curable elastic layer 3, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 and the like, and the mechanical properties are not impaired by the heat treatment of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4. Those having a degree of heat resistance are used.
Examples of such a substrate 1 include, but are not limited to, plastic films and sheets such as polyester, olefin resin, and polyvinyl chloride.
The substrate 1 preferably has a cutting property with respect to a cutting means such as a cutter used for cutting the workpiece. In addition, when a base material having heat resistance and stretchability such as a flexible polyolefin film or sheet is used as the base material 1, if the cutting blade enters the base material partway during the process of cutting the workpiece, the base material is later Therefore, it is suitable for a cut piece collection method that requires a gap between the cut pieces.

Further, when the energy beam curable elastic layer 3 is cured from the substrate 1 side, the energy beam is used so that the substrate 1 and the organic coating layer 2 (and the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4) are energy beams. It is necessary to be made of a material that can transmit a predetermined amount or more of energy rays enough to cure the curable elastic layer. Further, if the energy ray curable elastic layer 3 is provided on the separator 6 and is cured through the separator 6, it is necessary to make the separator 6 energy ray permeable.
The substrate 1 may be a single layer or a multilayer.

The thickness of the substrate 1 can be appropriately selected within a range that does not impair the operability and workability in each process such as bonding of workpieces, cutting of workpieces, peeling of cut pieces, and recovery, but is usually 500 μm or less. The thickness is preferably about 3 to 300 μm, more preferably about 5 to 250 μm.
The surface of the substrate 1 is chemically treated by conventional surface treatments such as chromic acid treatment, ozone exposure, flame exposure, high piezoelectric impact exposure, ionizing radiation treatment, etc. in order to improve adhesion and retention with adjacent layers. Alternatively, a physical treatment, a coating treatment with an undercoat (for example, an adhesive substance described later), or the like may be performed.

[Organic coating layer]
The organic coating layer is used for the purpose of satisfactorily adhering to the base material and preventing the energy ray curable elastic layer from being thrown and destroyed after heat peeling.
Whether or not the throwing destruction occurs can be evaluated by, for example, the method described in the following examples. The organic coating layer has a function as a primer layer, and since the substrate and the energy ray curable elastic layer are more strongly bonded to each other through the organic coating layer, it is possible to prevent throwing breakage. When the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is used, the heat peelability is good, and it is possible to exert the effect that the adhesive peels off, that is, the adhesive residue does not occur.

As long as the organic coating layer 2 has these characteristics, any material may be used.
For example, various coating materials as shown in the literature (Plastic Hard Coat Material II, CMC Publishing, (2004)) can be used. Especially, the polymer which has urethane bonds, such as a urethane type polymer, is preferable. This is because it exhibits excellent adhesion to the substrate and excellent anchoring properties for the energy ray curable elastic layer (particularly after curing). In particular, polyacryl urethane and polyester polyurethane and their precursors are more preferable. These materials are practical, such as being easy to apply and apply to the substrate, and various industrial materials can be selected and are available at low cost.

As polyacryl urethane and polyester polyurethane, any of those described in the literature (Plastic Hard Coat Material II, P17-21, CMC Publishing, (2004)) and the literature (Latest Polyurethane Material and Applied Technology, CMC Publishing, (2005)) Can also be used. These are polymers composed of a reaction mixture of an isocyanate monomer and an alcoholic hydroxyl group-containing monomer (for example, a hydroxyl group-containing acrylic compound or a hydroxyl group-containing ester compound). As further components, chain extenders such as polyamines, anti-aging agents, oxidation stabilizers and the like may be included.
As polyacryl urethane and polyester polyurethane, those prepared by reacting the above-described monomers may be used, or those commercially available or used as a binder material for coating materials, inks, and paints may be used ( Literature: Latest polyurethane materials and applied technology, see P190, CMC Publishing (2005)). As such a polyurethane, “NB300” manufactured by Dainichi Seika, “Adekabon titer (registered trademark)” manufactured by ADEKA, “Takelac® A / Takenate® A” manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, DIC Commercial products such as “UC Sealer” manufactured by Graphics are listed.
A pigment may be added to such a polymer, and the ink may be printed on the film layer as an ink. At this time, for example, a polyurethane-modified resin such as polyurethane-based vinyl acetate-vinyl chloride copolymer (Daiichi Seika Co., Ltd. NB300) can be used, and the design of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can be enhanced by such printing.

Here, in particular, the reason that polyacryl urethane and polyester urethane exhibit good adhesion to the substrate is that the isocyanate component contained as a monomer is a polar functional group such as a hydroxyl group or a carboxyl group present on the substrate surface. It is thought that it forms a strong bond by reacting.
In particular, the reason why the anchoring property with the energy ray curable elastic layer is improved after energy ray curing is that the radical species generated in the vicinity of the urethane bond and the radical generated in the energy ray curable elastic layer upon irradiation with ultraviolet rays or the like This is presumed to be due to the reaction between the seeds to form a strong bond (Reference: Structure / physical properties and high functionality of polyurethane and its application development, p191-194, Technical Information Association (1999)).

Although the thickness of an organic coating layer is not specifically limited, For example, about 0.1-10 micrometers is suitable, About 0.1-5 micrometers is preferable, About 0.5-5 micrometers is more preferable.
If it is in the range of 0.1 to 10 μm, it can exhibit an adhesive residue preventing effect by exhibiting sufficient adhesion between the substrate and the energy ray curable elastic layer, and is a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet. There is no significant loss of physical properties.

[Energy ray curable elastic layer]
The energy ray curable elastic layer is a layer having an adhesive strength that can be peeled off from the work piece, and the adhesive strength is reduced by curing with energy rays.
The energy ray curable elastic layer 3 contains an energy ray curable compound (or energy ray curable resin) for imparting energy ray curable properties. The energy ray curable elastic layer 3 is preferably an elastic body after irradiation with energy rays. From this point of view, the energy ray curable elastic layer 3 uses a base material (adhesive) chemically modified with an energy ray reactive functional group, or an energy ray curable compound (or energy ray curable resin). ) Is preferably composed of a composition blended in an elastic base material.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the organic coating layer 2 is arranged in order from the substrate 1 side between the substrate 1 and the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 on the side where the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 is provided. When the energy ray curable elastic layer 3 is formed, or when the energy ray curable elastic layer 3 is provided, the energy ray curable elastic layer 3 includes the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 in any case. It has viscoelasticity to such an extent that the unevenness of the heat-expandable microspheres can be relaxed when being pressed.
At that time, a part of the thermally expandable microspheres contained in the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 can be embedded in the energy ray-curable elastic layer 3 (see the enlarged view of FIG. 2). ).

Examples of the base material include natural rubber and synthetic rubber or rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesives using them, silicone rubber or pressure-sensitive adhesives thereof, (meth) acrylic acid alkyl esters [for example, (meth) acrylic acid methyl ester, ethyl Ester, propyl ester, isopropyl ester, butyl ester, isobutyl ester, hexyl ester, octyl ester, 2-ethylhexyl ester, isooctyl ester, isodecyl ester, _C1-20 alkyl ester such as dodecyl ester, etc.] alone or in combination Combined or alkyl (meth) acrylic acid ester and other monomer [for example, monomer containing carboxyl group or acid anhydride group such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, maleic anhydride; (meth) Acrylic acid A hydroxyl group-containing monomer such as hydroxyethyl; a sulfonic acid group-containing monomer such as styrenesulfonic acid; a phosphoric acid group-containing monomer such as 2-hydroxyethylacryloyl phosphate; an amide group-containing monomer such as (meth) acrylamide; Amino group-containing monomers such as aminoethyl acid; alkoxy group-containing monomers such as methoxyethyl (meth) acrylate; imide group-containing monomers such as N-cyclohexylmaleimide; vinyl esters such as vinyl acetate; vinyl such as N-vinylpyrrolidone Group-containing heterocyclic compounds; Styrene monomers such as styrene and α-methylstyrene; Cyano group-containing monomers such as acrylonitrile; Epoxy group-containing acrylic monomers such as glycidyl (meth) acrylate; Vinyl ether An organic viscoelastic material having an appropriate viscoelasticity, such as an acrylic resin or a pressure-sensitive adhesive thereof, a polyurethane resin or a pressure-sensitive adhesive thereof, and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. Can be used. In addition, the energy ray curable elastic layer 3 and the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 are adhered to each other by using the same or the same kind of component as the pressure-sensitive adhesive constituting the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 described later as the base material. Can be laminated with good performance. A preferred base material includes an adhesive substance such as an acrylic adhesive. The base material may be composed of one component, or may be composed of two or more components.

Examples of the energy ray-reactive functional group used for chemical modification include functional groups having a carbon-carbon multiple bond such as acryloyl group, methacryloyl group, vinyl group, allyl group, and acetylene group. You may use these individually or in combination of 2 or more types. These functional groups can generate a radical by cleavage of a carbon-carbon multiple bond upon irradiation with energy rays, and this radical can be a crosslinking point to form a three-dimensional network structure.
Among them, the (meth) acryloyl group is preferable from the viewpoints of reactivity and workability, such as being relatively highly reactive to energy rays and being able to be selected and used in combination from various acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives.

Thus, as a typical example of a matrix chemically modified with an energy ray-reactive functional group, a monomer containing a reactive functional group such as a hydroxyl group and / or a carboxyl group [for example, (meta Reactive functional group-containing acrylic polymer obtained by copolymerization of () 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, (meth) acrylic acid, etc.] with (meth) acrylic acid alkyl ester reacts with the reactive functional group in the molecule. And a polymer obtained by reacting a compound having a group (isocyanate group, epoxy group, etc.) and an energy ray-reactive functional group (acryloyl group, methacryloyl group, etc.) [for example, (meth) acryloyloxyethylene isocyanate etc.]. .
The ratio of the monomer containing the reactive functional group in the reactive functional group-containing acrylic polymer is, for example, 5 to 40% by weight, preferably 10 to 30% by weight, based on the total monomers.

  The amount of the compound having a group that reacts with the reactive functional group and an energy ray reactive functional group in the molecule is such that when the reactive functional group-containing acrylic polymer is reacted with the reactive functional group-containing acrylic polymer. It is 20-100 mol% with respect to the reactive functional group (hydroxyl group, carboxyl group, etc.) in coalescence, Preferably it is 40-95 mol%. In addition, in order to promote (addition) reaction between the reactive functional group in the reactive functional group-containing acrylic polymer and the compound having an energy ray reactive functional group and a reactive functional group in the molecule In addition, a catalyst such as an organometallic compound such as organotin or organozirconium or an amine compound may be blended.

  The energy ray-curable elastic layer 3 for curing the energy ray-curable elastic layer 3 is not particularly limited as long as it can be cured by energy rays such as visible light, ultraviolet rays, and electron beams. It is preferable that the energy beam curable elastic layer 3 is efficiently three-dimensionally reticulated. The energy ray-curable compound can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  Specific examples of the energy ray curable compound when the energy ray curable compound is blended with the base material include, for example, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, tetramethylolmethane tetraacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, pentaerythritol tetraacrylate, diester. Examples include pentaerythritol monohydroxypentaacrylate, dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate, 1,4-butylene glycol diacrylate, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate, polyethylene glycol diacrylate, and the like.

  An energy ray curable resin may be used as the energy ray curable compound. Examples of the energy ray curable resin include an ester (meth) acrylate having a (meth) acryloyl group at a molecular end, a urethane (meth) acrylate, an epoxy ( Meth) acrylate, melamine (meth) acrylate, acrylic resin (meth) acrylate, thiol-ene addition type resin having an allyl group at the molecular end, photocationic polymerization type resin, cinnamoyl group-containing polymer such as polyvinyl cinnamate, diazotized Examples thereof include photosensitive reactive group-containing polymers and photosensitive reactive group-containing oligomers such as amino novolac resins and acrylamide type polymers. Furthermore, examples of the polymer that reacts with high energy rays include epoxidized polybutadiene, unsaturated polyester, polyglycidyl methacrylate, polyacrylamide, and polyvinylsiloxane. In addition, when using energy-beam curable resin, the said base material is not necessarily required.

The amount of the energy ray-curable compound is, for example, in the range of about 5 to 500 parts by weight, preferably 15 to 300 parts by weight, and more preferably about 20 to 150 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base material. Moreover, the dynamic elastic modulus after energy beam irradiation of the energy ray curable elastic layer 3 is 20 × 10 ⁶ to 1 × 10 ¹⁰ Pa (frequency: 1 Hz, sample: thickness 1. When the thickness is 5 mm, it is possible to achieve both excellent cutting workability and heat peelability. This storage elastic modulus can be adjusted by appropriately selecting the type and blending amount of the energy ray-curable compound, energy ray irradiation conditions, and the like.
In addition, you may use an energy beam polymerization accelerator together with an energy beam polymerization initiator as needed.

  In addition to the above components, the energy beam curable elastic layer 3 includes an energy beam polymerization initiator for curing the energy beam curable compound, and a thermal polymerization initiator for obtaining appropriate viscoelasticity before and after the energy beam curing. In addition, an appropriate additive such as a crosslinking agent, a tackifier, a vulcanizing agent, a filler, an anti-aging agent, an antioxidant, and a coloring agent can be added as necessary.

As the energy beam polymerization initiator, a known or commonly used polymerization initiator can be appropriately selected according to the type of energy beam used.
When polymerization / curing is performed using ultraviolet rays as energy rays, a photopolymerization initiator is included for curing. Although it does not specifically limit as a photoinitiator, For example, benzoin ethers, such as benzoin methyl ether, benzoin isopropyl ether, 2,2-dimethoxy-1,2-diphenylethane-1-one; Substituted benzoin ethers, such as anisole methyl ether Substituted acetophenones such as 2,2-diethoxyacetophenone, 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone, 1-hydroxy-cyclohexyl-phenyl ketone; substituted alpha-ketols such as 2-methyl-2-hydroxypropiophenone; 2 -Aromatic sulfonyl chlorides such as naphthalenesulfonyl chloride; photoactive oximes such as 1-phenyl-1,1-propanedione-2- (o-ethoxycarbonyl) -oxime; 2,4,6-trimethylben Yl - diphenyl - phosphine oxide, bis (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) - such as acylphosphine oxide, such as triphenylphosphine oxide.

The energy ray curable elastic layer 3 is based on, for example, an energy ray curable resin or a coating liquid containing a base material, an energy ray polymerizable compound, an energy ray polymerization initiator, and, if necessary, an additive, a solvent and the like. A method of applying on the material 1, a method of applying the coating liquid on an appropriate separator (such as release paper) to form the energy ray curable elastic layer 3, and transferring (transferring) the energy layer onto the substrate 1. It can be formed by a conventional method.
When there is a concern about the occurrence of polymerization inhibition due to oxygen at the time of curing the energy ray curable elastic layer, a release-treated sheet is placed on a mixture of a urethane polymer and a radical polymerizable monomer coated on a separator. Oxygen may be blocked by placing it, or the substrate may be placed in a container filled with an inert gas to lower the oxygen concentration.
The type of energy beam and the type of lamp used by irradiation can be selected as appropriate. Low pressure lamps such as fluorescent chemical lamps, black lights and sterilization lamps, high pressure lamps such as metal halide lamps and high pressure mercury lamps, etc. Can be used. Further, the irradiation amount of ultraviolet rays or the like can be arbitrarily set according to the required characteristics of the energy ray curable elastic layer.

  The thickness of the energy ray curable elastic layer 3 is selected from the viewpoints of relaxation of unevenness of the heat-expandable microspheres contained in the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4, prevention of vibration by a rotary blade when cutting a workpiece, and the like. It is about 3-300 micrometers, Preferably it is about 10-150 micrometers, More preferably, it is about 15-100 micrometers.

[Heat peelable adhesive layer]
The heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 contains a pressure-sensitive adhesive for imparting tackiness and a heat-expandable microsphere for imparting thermal expansibility.
The heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 is a layer that can be easily peeled off by reducing the bonding area due to foaming of thermally expandable microspheres caused by heat. Thermally expandable microspheres can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
The heat-expandable microsphere can be appropriately selected from known heat-expandable microspheres. Thermally expandable microspheres that are not microencapsulated may not be able to stably exhibit good peelability, and therefore, microencapsulated thermally expandable microspheres can be suitably used.
As shown in the enlarged view on the right side of FIG. 2, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of FIG. 1 also has irregularities reflecting the shape of the thermally expandable microspheres contained on the surface of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4. It is desirable to have smoothness without having.

As the adhesive material, a material having elasticity that allows foaming and / or expansion of the heat-expandable microspheres during heating and does not restrain them is used. For this reason, a conventionally well-known pressure sensitive adhesive (adhesive) etc. can be used. Examples of pressure-sensitive adhesives include rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesives such as natural rubber and various synthetic rubbers; silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesives; (meth) acrylic acid alkyl ester and other copolymerizable with this ester Examples thereof include acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives such as copolymers with unsaturated monomers (for example, acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives described as a base material of the energy ray-curable elastic layer 3) and the like. Further, an energy ray curable pressure sensitive adhesive can be used for the heat-peelable pressure sensitive adhesive layer 4. In that case, the shear elastic modulus of elasticity is 1 × 10 ^{5 to} 5 × 10 ⁷ Pa (frequency: 1 Hz, sample: thickness) in the temperature range where the dynamic elastic modulus after irradiation with energy rays starts expansion of the thermally expandable microspheres. Good peelability can be obtained when the thickness is 1.5 mm.

  The heat-expandable microsphere may be a microsphere in which a substance that easily expands by gasification by heating, such as isobutane, propane, or pentane, is encapsulated in an elastic shell. The shell is usually formed of a thermoplastic material, a hot-melt material, a material that bursts due to thermal expansion, or the like. Examples of the substance forming the shell include vinylidene chloride-acrylonitrile copolymer, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl butyral, polymethyl methacrylate, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinylidene chloride, and polysulfone. Thermally expandable microspheres can be produced by a conventional method such as a coacervation method or an interfacial polymerization method. As the thermally expandable microsphere, for example, a commercially available product such as Matsumoto Microsphere [F-100D, manufactured by Matsumoto Yushi Seiyaku Co., Ltd.] can be used.

  The average particle diameter of the thermally expandable microspheres is generally about 1 to 80 μm, preferably about 3 to 50 μm, more preferably 5 to 15 μm, from the viewpoint of dispersibility and thin layer formation. In addition, the thermally expandable microspheres are not ruptured until the volume expansion coefficient is 5 times or more, particularly 10 times or more in order to efficiently reduce the adhesive strength of the heat-peelable adhesive layer containing the adhesive by heat treatment. What has moderate intensity | strength is preferable. In the case of using thermally expandable microspheres that burst at a low expansion rate, or when using a thermal expansion agent that is not microencapsulated, the adhesive area between the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 and the workpiece. Is not sufficiently reduced, and good peelability is difficult to obtain.

  The amount of the heat-expandable microspheres varies depending on the type thereof, but is, for example, 10 to 200 parts by weight, preferably 20 to 125 parts per 100 parts by weight of the pressure-sensitive adhesive base polymer constituting the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4. About parts by weight. If it is 10 to 200 parts by weight, the adhesive strength can be sufficiently reduced after heat treatment, and cohesive failure of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 and interfacial failure between the energy ray-curable elastic layer 3 and the support can occur. It does not occur.

  In addition to the adhesive substance and the thermally expandable microsphere, the heat-peelable adhesive layer 4 includes a crosslinking agent (for example, an isocyanate-based crosslinking agent, an epoxy-based crosslinking agent), a tackifier (for example, a polyfunctional epoxy). Compound, or isocyanate compound, aziridine compound, melamine resin, urea resin, anhydrous compound, polyamine, carboxyl group-containing polymer, etc.), plasticizer, pigment, filler, anti-aging agent, surfactant, antistatic agent, etc. Various additives may be blended.

  The thickness of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 can be appropriately determined according to the purpose of use of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, the ability to reduce the pressure-sensitive adhesive force by heating, etc., but is thin in order to improve the workability of the workpiece. Is preferred. For this reason, the thickness of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 is 50 μm or less, preferably 25 μm or less, and more preferably 10 μm or less. If the thickness of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 is 50 μm or less, sufficient adhesive force can be obtained to hold the workpiece. Furthermore, when pressing or shearing force is applied to the electronic component when the electronic component is processed, these forces are transmitted to the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4. Since the thickness is thin, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention can reliably hold the electronic component against this applied force.

In addition, in order to prevent the fine cohesive failure in the adhesion interface with the adherend accompanying the uneven deformation of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 during the heat treatment, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is further provided on the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4.

Moreover, an adhesive substance such as an adhesive constituting an adhesive layer (or a thermally expandable adhesive layer) described later can also be used as a constituent material of the rubber-like organic elastic layer. The thickness of the rubbery organic elastic layer is generally 500 μm or less (for example, 1 to 500 μm), preferably 3 to 300 μm, and more preferably about 5 to 150 μm.

[Example of production of heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet shown in FIG. 1]
FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view showing an example of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention. The organic coating layer 2, the energy ray curable elastic layer 3 and the separator 6 are laminated in this order on one surface of the substrate 1, and the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 and the separator are laminated on the other surface of the substrate 1. 5 are stacked in this order.
The organic coating layer 2 is provided on one side of the base material, and the composition before curing constituting the energy ray curable elastic layer 3 is uniformly applied thereon by any means. And when said energy ray hardening-type elastic layer 3 formed in the single side | surface of the obtained base material contains solvents other than a reactive solvent, it was set as the state from which the solvent was once removed by drying after application | coating. Later, the separator 6 is coated thereon, and the substrate 1, the organic coating layer 2, the energy ray curable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3, and the separator 6 are laminated.
Separately, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 applied and dried is formed on the prepared separator 5. Thereafter, in the state where the heat-expandable microspheres do not protrude from the surface of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4, the surface of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 on the side where the energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the substrate 1 is not provided. Laminate to adhere to the surface. In addition, you may make it provide the organic coating layer 2 in advance on both surfaces of a base material.

The structure of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention shown in FIG. 2 will be described below.
The material of each layer constituting the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet shown in FIG. 2 is the same as the material shown in FIG.
For example, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 is formed by directly applying a coating liquid containing pressure-sensitive adhesives, thermally expandable microspheres, and additives, solvents, and the like onto the energy ray-curable elastic layer 3, for example. A method of pressure bonding through a separator 5, the coating liquid is applied on an appropriate separator (such as release paper) 5 to form a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4, and this is optionally coated on a substrate 1 with an organic coating layer It can carry out by appropriate methods, such as the method of carrying out pressure bonding transfer (transfer) on the energy ray hardening-type elastic layer 3 provided through this.

At this time, as shown in the enlarged view on the right side of FIG. 2, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of this example also has irregularities reflecting the shape of the heat-expandable microspheres contained in the surface of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 It is desirable to be smooth without having any.
Therefore, even if the heat-expandable microsphere does not fit within the thickness of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 due to the presence of large heat-expandable microspheres, It is desirable to make the surface of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 smooth by inserting the convex portions of the thermally expandable microspheres.

  As described above, the separator 5 is used as a temporary support when the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 is pressure-transferred (transferred) onto the energy ray-curable elastic layer 3 as described above. Used as a protective material for protecting the agent layer 4.

[Example of production of heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet shown in FIG. 2]
FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing another example of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention. In this example, the organic coating layer 2, the energy ray curable elastic layer 3 and the separator 6 are laminated in this order on one surface of the substrate 1, and the organic coating layer 2 on the other surface of the substrate 1, The energy ray curable elastic layer 3, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4, and the separator 5 are laminated in this order. This pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is different from the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of FIG. 1 in that an organic coating layer 2, an energy ray-curable elastic layer 3, a heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 and a separator 5 are provided on the other surface of the substrate 1. Is different.
Immediately after laminating the base material 1, the organic coating layer 2, the energy ray curable pressure sensitive adhesive layer 3, and the separator 6 that are in the middle of the manufacturing method of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet 1, the organic coating layer of the base material 1 is still present. The organic coating layer 2 is provided on the surface not provided with 2, and the composition before curing constituting the energy ray-curable elastic layer 3 is uniformly applied thereon by any means. And when said energy ray hardening-type elastic layer 3 formed in the single side | surface of the obtained base material contains solvents other than a reactive solvent, it is the state by which such a solvent was removed by drying, The energy ray curable elastic layer 3 is set before being cured with energy rays. However, it may be partially cured as long as it has sufficient fluidity.
Separately, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 applied and dried is formed on the prepared separator 5. Depending on the thickness of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4, the surface of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 that is not on the separator 5 side may contain thermally expandable microspheres contained therein. Therefore, a part of the thermally expandable microsphere protrudes from the surface to form a convex portion.

Specifically, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 formed on the separator is aligned with the surface on which the convex portions are formed on the surface of the energy ray-curable elastic layer 3 before curing. The energy beam curable elastic layer 3 that is not cured is pressed by pressing the energy beam curable elastic layer 3 and the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 from the substrate and the separator side. The convex portion is embedded in the inside of.
As a result, the separator 6, the energy ray curable elastic layer 3, the organic coating layer 2, the substrate 1, the organic coating layer 2, the uncured energy ray curable elastic layer 3, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4, and the separator 5 can be obtained by laminating 5 in this order.
Further, the uncured energy beam curable elastic layer 3 is cured by irradiating the uncured energy beam curable elastic layer 3 from the substrate 1 side and / or the separator 5 side. Thus, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention can be obtained.

  In addition, in the manufacturing method of these heat peeling type adhesive sheets, the procedure which laminates | stacks each layer is not limited to these order, As long as the objective of this invention is achieved, arbitrary means can be employ | adopted. And when manufacturing the said 2 types of heat peeling type adhesive sheet, formation of each layer to each surface can be performed by any order.

[How to use heat-peelable adhesive sheet]
FIG. 3 is a schematic process diagram showing an example of a method for manufacturing the workpiece 7 using the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet shown in FIG. 1 of the present invention. More specifically, FIG. 3 shows that the work piece 7 is pressure-bonded to the surface of the energy ray-curable elastic layer 3 of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet (with the separators 5 and 6 peeled off) in FIG. The heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 is bonded to the support 10 and the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet and the workpiece are fixed to the support 10.
When an energy ray curable elastic layer 3 that exhibits sufficient adhesion even after curing is used, the energy ray curable elastic layer 3 is cured by irradiation of the energy rays 8 and then shown in the center diagram. Next, it cut | disconnects to a predetermined dimension along the cutting line 9, and is set as a cut piece. In addition, when the thing which adhesive force falls after hardening is used as the energy ray hardening-type elastic layer 3, irradiation of an energy ray will be after a cutting process.
Next, the heat-expandable microspheres in the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 on the support 10 are expanded and foamed by heat treatment, and the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is peeled from the support 10 together with the workpiece.
Next, the workpiece 7 cut as shown in the right figure is picked up, and peeled off from the energy ray-curable elastic layer 3 of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet and separated.

FIG. 4 is a schematic process diagram showing an example of a method for producing a workpiece using the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet shown in FIG. 2 of the present invention.
Only the layer structure of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet used is different, and the method of use itself is the same as in the case of FIG. Since the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 is formed on the organic coating layer 2 via the energy ray-curable elastic layer 3 as necessary, the surface of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 is particularly made of thermally expandable microspheres. There is no unevenness derived from it, and the workpiece 7 can be more accurately fixed on the support 10.

  In these methods of using the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 of the energy ray-curable heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet and the support 10 are appropriately bonded by, for example, a rubber roller, a laminate roll, or a press device. It can be performed by a method of pressure-bonding the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet with a simple pressing means. During the crimping process, if necessary, depending on the type of adhesive substance, heat the heat-expandable microspheres in a temperature range that does not expand, or apply water or an organic solvent to activate the adhesive substance. You can also

  As the energy beam 8, visible light, ultraviolet light, electron beam, or the like can be used. Irradiation of the energy beam 8 can be performed by an appropriate method. However, since the heat-expandable microspheres may start to expand due to the heat of irradiation of the energy beam 8, the heat-expandable microspheres are limited to irradiation as short as possible, or the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is air-cooled. It is desirable to maintain a temperature at which the sphere does not begin to expand. The support 10 only needs to be a material whose adhesive force with the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 is reduced due to the expansion of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4. It is made of a material that does not deform and allows the energy rays to pass therethrough. For example, glass or a pedestal wafer can be suitably used.

The workpiece 7 can be cut by a conventional cutting means such as dicing. For example, as shown by a cutting line 9 in FIG. Moreover, grinding etc. can also be performed as a process.
The heating conditions can be appropriately set depending on the surface state of the workpiece 7 (or the cut workpiece 7), the heat resistance, the type of thermally expandable microsphere, the heat resistance of the adhesive sheet, the heat capacity of the workpiece 7, and the like. However, general conditions are a temperature of 350 ° C. or less and a treatment time of 30 minutes or less, and a temperature of 80 to 200 ° C. and a treatment time of about 1 second to 15 minutes are particularly preferable. Moreover, as a heating system, although a hot-air heating system, a hot plate contact system, an infrared heating system, etc. are mentioned, it is not specifically limited.

  When the base material 1 of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is stretchable, the stretching process is performed, for example, by using a conventional stretching means used when stretching the sheets two-dimensionally. Can do.

As a property common to these heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets, an energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is provided on a substrate via an organic coating layer. When the workpiece is peeled off from the energy ray curable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer after processing the workpiece provided thereon, the energy ray curable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is peeled off from the base material and remains on the surface of the workpiece. Will not cause contamination.
This is because the energy ray curable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer does not cause cohesive failure when the workpiece is peeled off, because the energy ray curable pressure sensitive adhesive layer strongly adheres to the substrate by the organic coating layer. .

Furthermore, according to the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet shown in FIG. 4, the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet can be formed thin and is sufficient even after the energy ray-curable elastic layer 3 is cured. When a material having a strong adhesive force is used, the energy ray curable elastic layer 3 is cured by irradiating energy rays before the cutting step. Chipping and the like associated with the shaking of the layer can be cut to a predetermined size while being greatly reduced as compared with a conventional thermally expandable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet.
Furthermore, since the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 includes thermally expandable microspheres and has thermal expandability, the thermally expandable microspheres are rapidly foamed or expanded by the heat treatment after the cutting step. The volume of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 changes to form an uneven three-dimensional structure on the surface, and the adhesion area with respect to the support 10 and thus the adhesion strength is significantly reduced or disappears.
Thereafter, the workpiece cut by a known means is picked up.

  The heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet shown in FIG. 5 has the same structure as the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet shown in FIG. 1, and the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention is not only dicing but also grinding, polishing, etching, lathe processing, resin sealing It can also be used for other processes such as stopping.

In FIG. 6, the processing method of the workpiece surface, such as grinding, is shown.
First, the separators provided on both sides of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet are peeled off, the work piece is adhered to the surface on the energy ray curable elastic layer side, and the surface is covered with the surface on the opposite side of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 side. The workpiece is fixed to the support 10 and the workpiece surface is processed.
Thereafter, the heat-expandable microspheres contained in the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 4 are expanded by heating to peel off the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet and the workpiece from the support 10.
Further, the energy beam curable elastic layer 3 is cured by irradiation of the energy beam 8, thereby increasing the cohesive force of the energy beam curable elastic layer 3 and reducing the adhesive force with the workpiece 7.
Next, the workpiece 7 is peeled from the energy ray curable elastic layer 3 to obtain a processed workpiece.

  In addition to the above method, when the workpiece is a foldable film, the workpiece is fixed on the support via the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention, and then the workpiece surface Then, the energy ray-curable elastic layer was cured by irradiating energy rays from the workpiece surface side or the support side to cure the workpiece. It can also peel from this energy ray hardening-type elastic layer. In that case, it is also possible to employ a method of peeling the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet from the support by heating the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet after the workpiece is peeled off.

  Thus, the adhesive to the work piece is prevented by preventing the peeling of the energy ray curable elastic layer at the time of peeling, hardening of the energy ray curable elastic layer 3 by energy ray irradiation, and significant decrease or disappearance of the adhesive strength by heat treatment. It is possible to significantly improve the operability and workability in the remaining generation prevention, the processing step of the workpiece 7, the separation of the processed workpiece, and the recovery step, and the production efficiency can be greatly improved.

  The energy ray curable heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention can be used for the purpose of permanently bonding a workpiece, but after bonding the workpiece for a predetermined period and after achieving the bonding purpose, the bonding is performed. It is also suitable for applications where it is required or desired to release the state. Specific examples of such applications include fixing tapes for semiconductor wafers and ceramic laminated sheets, carrier tapes for parts transport and temporary fixing, etc., for temporary fixing in assembly processes of various electrical devices, electronic devices, display devices, etc. Examples thereof include a surface protective material or a masking material for the purpose of preventing contamination damage such as a material or a fixing material, a metal plate, a plastic plate, and a glass plate. In particular, in the manufacturing process of electronic components, it can be suitably used for manufacturing processes such as small or thin semiconductor chips and multilayer capacitor chips.

  Next, the present invention will be described in more detail based on examples. The present invention is not limited to these examples.

Wafer A (thickness: 725 μm, 6 inches: support) is cut on the surface of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, and the surface of the energy ray-curable pressure-sensitive adhesive is 10 mm long and 10 μm wide, with a 5 μm cut in a grid pattern. Wafer B (thickness: 725 μm, 6 inches: work piece) was bonded. Next, the back surface of the wafer B was mechanically ground to 100 μm. Thereafter, UV irradiation of 300 mJ / cm ^{2 was} performed using a UV irradiator NEL UM810 (high pressure mercury lamp light source, 20 mW / cm ² ) manufactured by Nitto Seiki Co., Ltd. to cure the energy ray curable adhesive layer. Subsequently, the wafer A was recovered by thermal expansion by raising the temperature to 170 ° C., and then the heat-peelable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet remaining on the wafer B was peeled off with a peel at a speed of 1 m / min.

Evaluation of adhesive residue The number of adhesive residues in 100 sections in the shape of creases on the wafer surface after peeling was observed with an optical microscope.

The above Examples and Comparative Examples and the results are shown in Table 1 below.

Examples shown in Examples 1 to 6 are examples according to the present invention in which an organic coating layer is provided. According to these examples, the number of adhesive residues (adhesive peeling) was 0 or 30 and the result was extremely excellent.
However, according to Comparative Examples 1 to 4 in which the organic coating layer was not provided, a large amount of adhesive residue (peel peeling) occurred, and the surface of the workpiece was contaminated after the workpiece was peeled off.
Further, as shown in Reference Examples 1 and 2, when an organic coating layer was provided, but a copolymer having no urethane bond was used as a binder, 33 or 28 pieces of glue were peeled off. According to Reference Examples 1 and 2, it is apparent that the number of pieces peeled off is obviously smaller than that in the case where no organic coating layer is provided, and the degree of contamination on the workpiece surface is correspondingly reduced.
