Description

The present invention relates to resin compositions containing polyphenylene ether derivatives, prepregs, laminated boards and multilayer printed wiring boards.

The speed and capacity of signals used in mobile communication devices such as mobile phones, their base station devices, servers, network infrastructure devices such as routers, and large computers are increasing year by year. Along with this, the printed wiring boards mounted on these electronic devices need to be compatible with high frequencies, and the dielectric properties in the high frequency band that enable reduction of transmission loss (low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss tangent; hereinafter, There is a demand for a substrate material having excellent high frequency characteristics). In recent years, as applications that handle such high-frequency signals, in addition to the above-mentioned electronic devices, new systems that handle high-frequency radio signals in the ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) field (automobiles, transportation systems) and indoor short-range communication fields have also been introduced. Practical use and practical plans are in progress, and it is expected that low transmission loss substrate materials will be further required for printed wiring boards mounted on these devices in the future.
In addition, due to recent environmental problems, mounting of electronic components with lead-free solder and flame retardancy with halogen-free have come to be required, so that materials for printed wiring boards have higher heat resistance and flame retardancy than before. Sex is needed.

Conventionally, polyphenylene ether (PPE) -based resin has been used as a heat-resistant thermoplastic polymer having excellent high-frequency characteristics for printed wiring boards that require low transmission loss. For example, a method of using polyphenylene ether and a thermosetting resin in combination has been proposed. Specifically, a resin composition containing a polyphenylene ether and an epoxy resin (see, for example, Patent Document 1), a resin composition containing a polyphenylene ether and a cyanate resin having a low dielectric constant among thermosetting resins (see, for example, Patent Document 1). For example, Patent Document 2) and the like are disclosed.

However, the resin compositions described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are comprehensively inadequate in high-frequency characteristics in the GHz region, adhesiveness to conductors, low coefficient of thermal expansion, and flame retardancy, or polyphenylene ether and heat. The heat resistance may be lowered due to the low compatibility with the curable resin.

On the other hand, the present inventors also made a semi-IPN (semi-interpenetrating network) at the production stage (A stage stage) of the resin composition containing an organic solvent based on the polyphenylene ether resin and the polybutadiene resin. We have proposed a resin composition (see, for example, Patent Document 3) that can improve properties, heat resistance, low coefficient of thermal expansion, adhesiveness to a conductor, and the like. However, in recent years, substrate materials for printed wiring boards have high adhesiveness to conductors, low coefficient of thermal expansion, and high due to the demands for high density, high reliability, and compatibility with environmental friendliness, in addition to high frequency. Further improvement in glass transition temperature, high flame retardancy, etc. is required.

In addition, the substrate material for printed wiring boards used for network-related equipment such as servers and routers needs to have a high number of layers as the density increases, and high reflow heat resistance and through-hole reliability are required. Has been done. Further, as high frequency characteristics, excellent dielectric properties in a higher frequency band are required, and in general, the substrate material tends to have a higher dielectric loss tangent as the frequency increases, but the conventional 1 to 5 GHz There is an increasing need to exhibit excellent dielectric properties (low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss tangent) in the 10 GHz band or higher, instead of the dielectric characteristic value in.

In view of this situation, the present invention has excellent high frequency characteristics (low dielectric constant and low dielectric loss tangent), high adhesion to conductors, excellent heat resistance, high glass transition temperature, low coefficient of thermal expansion and high flame retardancy.

As a result of intensive research to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that a resin composition containing a polyphenylene ether derivative having a specific molecular structure and a specific inorganic filler has excellent high-frequency characteristics and a conductor. The present invention has been completed by finding that it exhibits high adhesiveness, excellent heat resistance, high glass transition temperature, low coefficient of thermal expansion and high flame retardancy.
