【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は新規な特に成形時の流動性、硬化性、硬化物の耐熱性、耐水性、耐湿信頼性のバランスに優れ、成型材料、注型材料、積層部品材料、電気絶縁材料、繊維強化複合材料、塗装材料、接着材料などに極めて有用なエポキシ樹脂の製造方法、エポキシ樹脂組成物、及び、それらの諸特性に加え薄型パッケージの成形性が優れ、かつ表面実装時の耐ハンダクラック性に優れ、さらには耐湿信頼性にも優れた半導体封止材料に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
エポキシ樹脂は、種々の硬化剤で硬化させることにより、一般的に機械的性質、耐水性、耐薬品性、耐熱性、電気的性質などの優れた硬化物となり、接着剤、塗料、積層板、成型材料、注型材料等、幅広い分野に使用されている。
【0003】
特に半導体封止材料用途においては、近年、高集積度化によって、耐ヒートサイクル性の一層の向上が要求されている。更に、高実装密度化に対応するため半導体のパッケージが薄型化する傾向にあり、厚さが1mm以下のTSOP型パッケージも使用される様になっており、これらに対応するため、優れた耐ハンダクラック性を有する材料が要求されている。
【0004】
また、半導体の生産性向上のため、成形サイクルを短縮する傾向にあり、硬化性が高い半導体封止材料が要求されている。
従来より、半導体封止材料用途には、オルソクレゾールノボラック型エポキシ樹脂(以下「ECN」という)が広く使用されているが、当該樹脂は耐熱性には優れるものの、流動性と耐ハンダクラック性に劣るという欠陥を有していた。一方、流動性に優れるエポキシ樹脂としては、結晶性エポキシ樹脂である、ビフェニル型エポキシ樹脂も使用されているが、当該樹脂は耐ハンダクラック性はある程度改善されるものの、硬化性と耐熱性が低いという欠点があり、上記要求を十分満足する水準にはない。
【0005】
そこで高性能半導体封止材料としてジシクロペンタジエン型エポキシ樹脂を用いた封止材が、例えば特開昭61−293219号公報、特開昭61−168618号公報、米国特許公報第4701481号等に記載されている。
【0006】
【解決しようとする課題】
これらの公報に記載されたエポキシ樹脂は吸湿率が低く、耐熱性も高いという特長を有しているものの、溶融粘度が高く、無機充填材の充填率を高めることができないため、耐ハンダクラック性、耐湿信頼性の改善効果にも限界があり、現在要求される性能を満足させることができず、また、溶融粘度が高く硬化性に劣ることから成形サイクルの短縮化に充分対応できないものであった。
【0007】
本発明が解決しようとする課題は、低吸湿率、高耐熱性といった性能を低下させることなく、優れた流動性を有し、無機充填材の高充填化が可能で半導体封止材料として従来になく優れた耐ハンダクラック性を発現すると共に、硬化性に著しく優れ、半導体等の成形品の生産性を著しく向上できる、エポキシ樹脂の製造方法、エポキシ樹脂組成物及び半導体封止材料を提供することにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者等は鋭意検討した結果、1分子中に二重結合を2個含有する不飽和脂肪族環状炭化水素化合物とフェノール類との重付加反応物のグリシジルエーテル化混合物であって、かつ、該混合物中の2核体含有量が80〜95重量%で、かつ、150℃における溶融粘度が0.3ポイズ以下、エポキシ当量が220〜260g/eqの範囲であって、かつ、全塩素濃度が800ppm以下であるエポキシ樹脂を主剤として使用することにより、上記課題を解決できることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
【0009】
即ち、本発明は、1分子中に二重結合を2個含有する不飽和脂肪族環状炭化水素化合物とフェノール類との重付加反応物のグリシジルエーテル化混合物であって、かつ、該混合物中の2核体含有量が80〜95重量%で、かつ、150℃における溶融粘度が0.3ポイズ以下、エポキシ当量が220〜260g/eqの範囲であって、かつ、全塩素濃度が800ppm以下であるエポキシ樹脂(A)と、硬化剤(B)とを必須成分として含有することを特徴とするエポキシ樹脂組成物、及び、1分子中に二重結合を2個含有する不飽和脂肪族環状炭化水素化合物とフェノール類との重付加反応物のグリシジルエーテル化混合物であって、かつ、該混合物中の2核体含有量が80〜95重量%で、かつ、150℃における溶融粘度が0.3ポイズ以下、エポキシ当量が220〜260g/eqの範囲であって、かつ、全塩素濃度が800ppm以下であるエポキシ樹脂(A)、硬化剤(B)、及び、無機充填材(C)を必須成分として含有することを特徴とする半導体封止材料に関する。
【0010】
本発明で使用するエポキシ樹脂(A)は、1分子中に二重結合を2個含有する不飽和脂肪族環状炭化水素化合物とフェノール類との重付加反応物のグリシジルエーテル化混合物であって、かつ、該混合物中の2核体含有量が80〜95重量%で、かつ、150℃における溶融粘度が0.3ポイズ以下、エポキシ当量が220〜260g/eqの範囲であって、かつ、全塩素濃度が800ppm以下であるものである。ここで、2核体とは、脂肪族環状炭化水素基で結節された芳香族炭化水素核を2個有するグリシジルエーテル化合物であり、例えば、以下の構造が挙げられる。
【0011】
【化1】
【0012】
(一般式1中、Xは脂肪族炭化水素基、R1は水素原子またはメチル基、R2およびR3はそれぞれ独立的に、ハロゲン原子若しくは炭化水素数1〜10のアルキル基を表す。)また、この2核体の含有量は、ゲルパーミュエーションクロマトグラフィー(GPC)によって分析された重量割合で表される値である。
【0013】
本発明は、この様な2核体を、エポキシ樹脂(A)中80重量%以上含有させることにより、ジシクロペンタジエン型エポキシ樹脂の高耐熱性、高耐水性を兼備したまま、溶融粘度を低減させることに成功したものであるが、同時に硬化性も著しく改善できることを特長としている。一般に、熱硬化性樹脂は流動性の向上に伴って、硬化性は低下する傾向にあるが、本発明におけるエポキシ樹脂(A)は、流動性が著しく優れると共に硬化性も極めて優れるという特異な性能を発現するものである。これらの流動性、硬化性の改善効果がより顕著になる点から、エポキシ樹脂(A)中の2核体の含有量は、80〜95重量%の範囲である。
【0014】
また、エポキシ樹脂(A)を構成するグリシジルエーテル化合物は、1分子中に二重結合を2個含有する不飽和脂肪族環状炭化水素化合物とフェノール類との重付加反応物のグリシジルエーテル化混合物であるが、ここで、フェノール類としては、フェノール、及びアルキル基、アルケニル基、アリル基、アリール基、アラルキル基或いはハロゲン基等が1個または複数個置換した置換フェノール類が挙げられる。具体的に例示すると、クレゾール、キシレノール、エチルフェノール、イソプロピルフェノール、ブチルフェノール、オクチルフェノール、ノニルフェノール、ビニルフェノール、イソプロペニルフェノール、アリルフェノール、フェニルフェノール、ベンジルフェノール、クロルフェノール、ブロムフェノール、ナフトール、ジヒドロキシナフタレン等が例示されるが、これらに限定されるものではない。またこれらの混合物を用いても構わない。これらの中でも流動性および硬化性が優れる点からフェノールが特に好ましい。
【0015】
また、不飽和脂環族環状炭化水素化合物としては、1分子中に不飽和二重結合を2つ以上有する不飽和脂肪族環状炭化水素化合物であれば、特に限定されないが、例示するならばジシクロペンタジエン、テトラヒドロインデン、4−ビニルシクロヘキセン、5−ビニルノルボナ−2−エン、α−ピネン、β−ピネン、リモネン等が挙げられる。これらの中でも特性バランス、特に耐熱性、吸湿性の点からジシクロペンタジエンが好ましい。またジシクロペンタジエンは石油留分中に含まれることから、工業用ジシクロペンタジエンには他の脂肪族或いは芳香族性ジエン類等が不純物として含有されることがあるが、耐熱性、硬化性、成形性等を考慮すると、ジシクロペンタジエンの純度90重量%以上の製品であることが望ましい。
【0016】
エポキシ樹脂(A)は、既述の通り、150℃における溶融粘度が、0.3ポイズ以下であり、これによって流動性に著しく優れたものとなる。また、エポキシ樹脂(A)のエポキシ当量は、耐熱性、耐水性等が良好になる点から220〜260g/eqの範囲であり、更に、エポキシ樹脂(A)中の全塩素濃度が800ppm以下であることから特に半導体封止材料用途における電気特性、耐ハンダクラック性が良好となる。
【0017】
即ち、本発明で用いるエポキシ樹脂(A)としては、フェノールとジシクロペンタジエンとの重付加反応物のグリシジルエーテル化混合物であって、かつ、該混合物中の2核体含有量が80〜95重量%の範囲内、150℃の溶融粘度が0.3ポイズ以下、エポキシ当量が220〜260g/eq、及び、全塩素濃度が800ppm以下の範囲内にあるエポキシ樹脂が一層優れた性能を発現するため最も好ましい。
【0018】
この様なエポキシ樹脂(A)を製造する方法としては、特に制限されるものではないが、下記の製造方法によって容易に得ることができる。
【0019】
即ち、1分子中に二重結合を2個含有する不飽和脂肪族環状炭化水素化合物とフェノール類との重付加反応物であって、かつ、該重付加反応物中の2核体含有量が95重量%以上である多価フェノール類混合物(a)と、エピハロヒドリン(b)とを反応させることにより、容易にエポキシ樹脂(A)を得ることができる。
【0020】
ここで使用される1分子中に二重結合を2個含有する不飽和脂肪族環状炭化水素化合物、及び、フェノール類としては前述したものが何れも使用できる。
【0021】
また、ここで2核体とは、脂肪族環状炭化水素基で結節された芳香族炭化水素核を2個有するフェノール化合物であり、例えば、以下の構造が挙げられる。
【0022】
【化2】
【0023】
(一般式2中、Xは脂肪族炭化水素基、R2およびR3はそれぞれ独立的に、ハロゲン原子若しくは炭化水素数1〜10のアルキル基を表す。)また、この2核体の含有量は、前記のグリシジルエーテル化合物の場合と同様にゲルパーミュエーションクロマトグラフィー(GPC)によって分析された重量割合で表される値である。
【0024】
また、2核体含有量が95重量%以上である多価フェノール類混合物(a)を得る為には、特にその製造方法が限定されるものでないが、例えば(1)不飽和脂肪族環状炭化水素化合物とフェノール類を重付加反応させる際のフェノール類/不飽和脂肪族環状炭化水素化合物のモル比を高める方法と、(2)従来製造法で得られた該多価フェノール化合物を分子蒸留する方法が挙げられるが、該多価フェノール化合物中の2核体含有量を効率良く95重量%以上に高めるためには、(2)の方法が好ましい。
即ち、本発明の製造方法として、不飽和脂肪族環状炭化水素化合物とフェノール類を重付加反応させ、得られた該多価フェノール化合物を分子蒸留して、2核体含有量95重量%以上である多価フェノール類混合物(a)を得、次いで、これとエピハロヒドリン(b)とを反応させる方法が好ましい。
【0025】
この好ましい方法を更に詳述すれば、多価フェノール類混合物(a)は、不飽和脂肪族環状炭化水素化合物とフェノール類を前者/後者=1/(5以上)のモル比率で、重付加反応させる。この際、重付加触媒としては、塩酸、硫酸などの無機酸或いはパラトルエンスルホン酸等の有機酸或いはAlCl3、BF3等のルイス酸等を用いる。こうして重付加反応させて得られた分子量が高い多価フェノール化合物を、分子蒸留することにより、目的の多価フェノール類混合物(a)を得ることができる。分子蒸留の方法としては、250℃以上/0.5Torr以下の高温減圧条件下で、薄膜蒸留器などを用いて、低分子量域を選択的に分離させればよい。
【0026】
次いで、この様にして得られた重付加反応物とエピハロヒドリンとを反応させることによって、目的とするエポキシ樹脂(A)を得ることができるが、この反応は公知の方法に従って行えばよく、例えば次の方法が挙げられる。
【0027】
即ち、先ず、多価フェノール化合物(a)の水酸基に対して2〜15当量、中でもの溶融粘度の低減効果に優れる点から好ましくは3〜10当量のエピハロヒドリンを添加して溶解し、その後、重付加反応物中の水酸基に対して0.8〜1.2当量の10〜50%NaOH水溶液を50〜80℃の温度で3〜5時間要して適下する。適下後その温度で0.5〜2時間程度撹拌を続けて、静置後下層の食塩水を棄却する。次いで過剰のエピハロヒドリンを蒸留回収し祖樹脂を得る。これにトルエン、MIBK等の有機溶媒を加え、水洗−脱水−濾過−脱溶媒工程を経て、目的の樹脂を得ることができる。また不純物塩素量の低減等を目的に、反応の際ジオキサン、DMSO等の溶媒を併用しても良い。
【0028】
ここで用いるエピハロヒドリン(b)としては、エピクロルヒドリンが最も一般的であるが、他にエピヨードヒドリン、エピブロムヒドリン、β−メチルエピクロルヒドリン等も用いることができる。
【0029】
この様にして得られるエポキシ樹脂は本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物の主剤たるエポキシ樹脂(A)として好ましく使用し得るが、また高分子タイプエポキシ樹脂を得るための2段法反応の原料樹脂として使用することも可能である。
【0030】
次に、本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物において、必須成分として使用される硬化剤(B)としては、通常エポキシ樹脂の硬化剤として常用されている化合物はすべて使用することができ、特に限定されるものではないが、例えばフェノールノボラック樹脂、オルソクレゾールノボラック樹脂、ビスフェノールAノボラック樹脂、ビスフェノールFノボラック樹脂、フェノール類−ジシクロペンタジエン重付加型樹脂、ジヒドロキシナフタレンノボラック樹脂、キシリデン基を結接基とした多価フェノール類、フェノール−アラルキル樹脂、ナフトール類樹脂ジエチレントリアミン、トリエチレンテトラミンなどの脂肪族アミン類、メタフェニレンジアミン、ジアミノジフェニルメタン、ジアミノジフェニルスルホンなどの芳香族アミン類、ポリアミド樹脂およびこれらの変性物、無水マレイン酸、無水フタル酸、無水ヘキサヒドロフタル酸、無水ピロメリット酸などの酸無水物系硬化剤、ジシアンジアミド、イミダゾール、BF3 −アミン錯体、グアニジン誘導体等の潜在性硬化剤等が挙げられる。中でも半導体封止材用としては、上記フェノールノボラック樹脂等の芳香族炭化水素−ホルムアルデヒド樹脂が硬化性、成形性、耐熱性に優れること、またフェノール−アラルキル樹脂が硬化性、成形性、低吸水率に優れる点から好ましい。
【0031】
これらの硬化剤(B)の使用量は、エポキシ樹脂(A)を硬化せしめる量であれば何れでもよく、特に限定されないが、好ましくは用いるエポキシ樹脂の一分子中に含まれるエポキシ基の数と、硬化剤中の活性水素の数が当量付近となる量である。
【0032】
上掲された如き各化合物を硬化剤(B)として用いる際は、硬化促進剤を適宜使用することができる。硬化促進剤としては公知慣用のものがいずれも使用できるが、例えば、リン系化合物、第3級アミン、イミダゾール、有機酸金属塩、ルイス酸、アミン錯塩、等が挙げられ、これらは単独のみならず2種以上の併用も可能である。
【0033】
また本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物は、必須成分である上述したエポキシ樹脂(A)に加え、さらにその他のエポキシ樹脂を併用しても構わない。
この際に用いられるエポキシ樹脂としては、公知慣用のものが何れも使用でき、例えばビスフェノールAジグリシジルエーテル型エポキシ樹脂、フェノールノボラック型エポキシ樹脂、オルソクレゾールノボラック型エポキシ樹脂、ビスフェノールAノボラック型エポキシ樹脂、ビスフェノールFノボラック型エポキシ樹脂、臭素化フェノールノボラック型エポキシ樹脂、ナフトールノボラック型エポキシ樹脂、ビフェニル型2官能エポキシ樹脂等が挙げられるが、これらに限定されるものではない。
【0034】
また必要に応じて、着色剤、難燃剤、離型剤、またはカップリング剤などの公知慣用の各種の添加剤成分も適宜配合せしめることができる。
【0035】
また、本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物から成型材料を調製するには、エポキシ樹脂、硬化剤、硬化促進剤、その他の添加剤をミキサー等によって十分に均一に混合した後、更に熱ロールまたはニーダ−等で溶融混練し、射出あるいは冷却後粉砕するなどして得ることができる。
【0036】
この様にして得られる本発明のエポキシ樹脂組成物は、特にその用途が限定されるものではなく、例えば、半導体封止材料や、エポキシ樹脂の溶剤溶解性に優れるために電気積層板用途でのワニス等が挙げられる。また、本発明のエポキシ樹脂(A)を臭素化多価フェノール類で変性を施したオリゴマー型エポキシ樹脂を積層板用途に用いることもできる。さらにはこれに多官能型エポキシ樹脂を配合或いは変性し耐熱性を付与させて使用してもよい。
【0037】
これらの用途の中でも、特に耐ハンダクラック性に著しく優れる等の利点から半導体封止材料用途が極めて有用である。
以下に本発明の半導体封止材料について詳述すると、上述したエポキシ樹脂(A)、硬化剤(B)に加え、更に無機充填材(C)を必須成分として含有するものである。
【0038】
本発明の半導体封止材料は、半導体を封止する際の成形時の流動性、硬化性、成形性や封止硬化後の耐熱性、さらにはプリント基板へ実装する際の耐ハンダクラック性等の全ての要求特性を満足している。
【0039】
本発明で用いる無機充填剤(C)は、硬化物の機械強度、硬度を高めることのみならず、低吸水率、低線膨張係数を達成し、耐ハンダクラック性を高めるための必須成分である。
【0040】
無機充填剤(C)の配合量は、特に限定されるものではないが、エポキシ樹脂(A)の流動性に優れる為に、従来になく高充填することができ、具体的には、80〜95重量%の範囲であることが耐ハンダクラック性の点から好ましい。
【0041】
また、ここで特筆すべき点は、本発明において85重量%以上無機充填剤を添加しても流動性、成形性を全く損なうことがないことである。。
【0042】
この様な無機充填剤(C)の種類としては、特に限定されないが破砕シリカ、球状シリカ、アルミナ、タルク、クレー、ガラス繊維等が挙げられる。これらの中でも、特に半導体封止材料用途においては破砕シリカ、球状シリカが一般的に用いられており、その中でも特に流動性に優れる点から球状シリカを配合することが好ましい。特に平均粒径が10〜50μmの範囲のものを用いると、より優れた流動性が得られる。
【0043】

Moreover, in order to prepare a semiconductor sealing material from the epoxy resin composition of the present invention, an epoxy resin (A), a curing agent (B), an inorganic filler (C) and, if necessary, a curing accelerator and other additives After the agent and the epoxy resin other than (A) are sufficiently uniformly mixed with a mixer or the like, they can be obtained by further melt-kneading with a hot roll or a kneader, pulverizing after cooling, and tableting.
[0046]
The semiconductor encapsulating material of the present invention is superior in solder crack resistance and heat cycle resistance to the above-described semiconductor encapsulating material using ECN, as well as in comparison with conventional dicyclopentadiene type epoxy resins. However, since the melt viscosity is lower, it is possible to fill an inorganic filler equivalent to the biphenyl type without impairing fluidity. Moreover, since the moisture absorption rate is lower than that of the biphenyl type, the solder crack resistance is extremely excellent. It also has better curability and heat resistance than the biphenyl type. Therefore, the epoxy resin of the present invention can combine the properties of fluidity, curability, solder crack resistance, and heat cycle resistance with a high level and well-balanced semiconductor sealing material.

Was measured by potentiometric titration using. The melt viscosity is 50% at Research Equipment LTD. It was measured by “ICI CONE & PLATE VISCOMTER” manufactured by the manufacturer. The dinuclear component content was “Gel permeation chromatography (GPC)” manufactured by Tosoh Corporation (measuring conditions: flow rate = 1.0 ml / min, pressure = 92 Kg / cm 2, column = G 4, 3, 2 , 2HXL, detector = RI 32 × 10 −6 RIUFS). The softening point was measured by “Softening point measuring device” (heater: HU-MK, detector ASP-M2) manufactured by Meihosha Mfg. Co., Ltd.
[0049]
Example 1
To a 2 liter four-necked flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, and condenser, 1222 g of phenol and 17 g of BF3 / phenol complex were added and mixed well. Thereafter, 192 g of a mixture mainly composed of crude dicyclopentadiene was added over 4 hours while maintaining the system temperature at 110 to 120 ° C. The purity of this cyclodicyclopentadiene is 95.2% by weight dicyclopentadiene, 2.8% by weight methyl dicyclopentadiene, 0.1% by weight propenyl norbornene, 0.1% by weight isophenyl norbornene, and other doubles. The amount of the compound having no bond was 1.8% by weight. Thereafter, the system temperature was kept at 120 ° C., and the mixture was heated and stirred for 3 hours, and 52 g of a magnesium compound “KW-1000” (trade name; manufactured by Kyowa Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) was added to the resulting reaction product solution. After stirring for a period of time to deactivate the catalyst, the reaction solution was filtered. The obtained transparent solution was heated to 230 ° C. while distilling and recovering unreacted phenol, and held under a reduced pressure of 1 Torr for 4 hours. As a result, 368 g of a brown solid resin was obtained. The softening point of this resin was 91 ° C., and the hydroxyl equivalent was 169 g / eq.
[0050]
350 g of this solid resin was subjected to molecular distillation with a thin film molecular distiller under the conditions of 280 ° C./0.1 Torr to obtain 185 g of a light brown solid resin. The dinuclear content in this solid resin was 98% by weight.
[0051]
150 g of this resin and 338 g of epichlorohydrin are added and dissolved in a 2 liter four-necked flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, Dean-Stark trap, and condenser. It was heated to 55 ° C. and 76 g of 49% NaOH was added dropwise over 4 hours under reduced pressure. At that time, the liquid distilled azeotropically was separated into water and epichlorohydrin by a Dean Stark trap, and the reaction was carried out while returning only epichlorohydrin to the reaction system. After the dropwise addition, the mixture was further stirred at that temperature for 1 hour, and then heated to 120 ° C. to recover unreacted epichlorohydrin by distillation. Next, 300 g of MIBK and 100 g of water were added to the obtained crude resin solution, and the inorganic salt was removed by washing with water. To this solution, 10 g of 5% NaOH was added and stirred at 85 ° C. for 3 hours. Thereafter, the mixture was allowed to stand for liquid separation, the lower layer was removed, and washing with water was repeated twice. Next, after azeotropic dehydration and filtration, MIBK was removed at 150 ° C. to obtain 179 g of the desired epoxy resin (I). This resin was a brown semi-solid having a melt viscosity at 150 ° C. of 0.15 poise, a binuclear component content of 81% by weight, an epoxy equivalent of 242 g / eq, and a total chlorine content of 870 ppm.
[0052]
Example 2
178 g of the desired epoxy resin (II) was obtained in the same manner as in Production Example 1 except that 150 g of dimethyl sulfoxide was added during the epoxidation reaction. This resin was a brown semi-solid having a melt viscosity at 150 ° C. of 0.10 poise, a dinuclear component content of 85% by weight, an epoxy equivalent of 237 g / eq, and a total chlorine content of 620 ppm.
[0053]
Comparative Example 1
165 g of the target epoxy resin (III) was obtained in the same manner as in Production Example 1 except that the raw material phenol resin was not subjected to molecular distillation. This resin was a brown solid and had a melt viscosity at 150 ° C. of 0.57 poise, a dinuclear component content of 57% by weight, an epoxy equivalent of 259 g / eq, and a total chlorine content of 1190 ppm.
