Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、保存性と硬化性が良好な半導体封止用エポキシ樹脂組成物及び半導体装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
IC、LSI等の半導体素子を封止するエポキシ樹脂組成物には、混練時の温度では硬化が進まないが、成形時の温度では十分な硬化促進作用をする種々の潜伏性硬化促進剤の開発がなされてきている。潜伏性硬化促進剤とは、適切な温度以上で触媒活性を示すために優れた硬化性と、それ以下の温度では触媒活性を示さず、優れた安定性を有する硬化促進剤のことである。例えば特開平8−295721号公報においては、ホウ素上の置換基を特定の構造としたテトラ置換ホスホニウム・テトラ置換ボレートが、優れた硬化性と常温での保存安定性を両立することが開示されている。テトラ置換ホスホニウム・テトラ置換ボレートは、アニオン部とカチオン部のイオン結合が解離して触媒活性を示すため、結合が解離する温度を変化させることで触媒活性を示す温度を変えることができる。ホウ素上の置換基を特定の構造にすると、このイオン結合は適度な強さとなり混練温度では活性を示さず、成形温度ではイオン結合が解離し、速やかに活性を示す。これにより優れた硬化性と優れた安定性、即ち潜伏性を発現するのである。
【0003】
従来から用いられている硬化促進剤としては、イミダゾール、ジアザビシクロアルケン類、トリアリールホスフィン等があるが、これらの硬化促進剤は比較的低温でも作用するため、これらを用いたエポキシ樹脂組成物は混練時に反応が進んでしまうため、成形時の流動性の低下から充填不良が発生したり、半導体素子の金ワイヤーが断線し導通不良が発生する等の問題点が生じる。
生産性向上に対する要求が厳しくなっていることから、成形時間を短縮することによる成形サイクルの効率化が進められており、特開平8−295721号公報に記載されたテトラ置換ホスホニウム・テトラ置換ボレートがある。これは非常に高い潜伏性を有する硬化促進剤であり、常温保存特性に優れ、潜伏性故に流動性にも優れた樹脂組成物を与える硬化促進剤であるが、潜伏性が高いが故に生産性向上という観点からは若干の問題が生じる場合がある。即ち成形温度によってはイオン結合が解離し、活性を示すまでに若干の時間を要する場合があるために成形サイクルを短縮するには難点があった。
【0004】
潜伏性硬化促進剤に関する技術として、例えば特開平8−41290号公報に開示されている種々の有機酸とホスホニウムイオンとの塩構造を有するものがあり、この潜伏性硬化促進剤は、イオン対が比較的容易に外部環境の影響を受けるため、近年の低分子エポキシ樹脂やフェノールアラルキル樹脂を用いる半導体封止材料にとっては不満足であった。更に近年の無機充填材の高充填化技術に対しては、より少ない樹脂成分でエポキシ樹脂組成物を構成する必要があることから、硬化促進剤の配合量をより低減させても良好な硬化性を発現するものが求められている。
上述のように、潜伏性硬化促進剤に関して種々の検討がなされているが、エポキシ樹脂組成物の保存性に優れ、速硬化性で、かつ流動性の高いエポキシ樹脂組成物が望まれている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、無機充填材を高充填化すると樹脂成分が減少するので、従来用いられていた平均粒径の潜伏性硬化促進剤では、局所的にしか行き渡らないため、硬化促進剤の配合量を増加しないと硬化が不十分となり、硬化性と流動性のバランスが取れなくなる欠点を、硬化促進剤の平均粒径を小さくし、より少ない潜伏性硬化促進剤を均一に分散させることにより、硬化性と流動性とのバランスがとれ、かつ保存性にも優れたエポキシ樹脂組成物及び半導体装置を提供するものである。

【発明の実施の形態】
本発明に用いるエポキシ樹脂は、1分子内にエポキシ基を2個以上有するモノマー、オリゴマー、ポリマー全般を指し、例えばビフェニル型エポキシ樹脂、オルソクレゾールノボラック型エポキシ樹脂、ジシクロペンタジエン変性フェノール型エポキシ樹脂、ナフトール型エポキシ樹脂、トリフェノールメタン型エポキシ樹脂等が挙げられる。
本発明に用いるフェノール樹脂は、1分子内に2個以上のフェノール性水酸基を有するモノマー、オリゴマー、ポリマー全般を指し、フェノールノボラック樹脂、クレゾールノボラック樹脂、フェニレン又はジフェニレン骨格を有するフェノールアラルキル樹脂、ナフトールアラルキル樹脂、テルペン変性フェノール樹脂、ジシクロペンタジエン変性フェノール樹脂等が挙げられる。
【0011】
本発明に用いる無機充填材は、特に制限はなく、一般に封止材料に用いられているものを使用することができる。例えば溶融破砕シリカ粉末、溶融球状シリカ粉末、結晶シリカ粉末、2次凝集シリカ粉末、アルミナ、チタンホワイト、水酸化アルミニウム等が挙げられ、特に溶融球状シリカ粉末が好ましい。形状は限りなく真球状であることが好ましく、又粒子の大きさの異なるものを混合することにより充填量を多くすることができる。
【0012】
この無機充填材の配合量としては、全エポキシ樹脂組成物中70〜93重量%が好ましい。70重量%未満だと無機充填材による補強効果が充分に発現しないおそれがあり、93重量%を越えると、樹脂組成物の流動性が低下し成形時に充填不良等が生じるおそれがあるので好ましくない。特に平均粒径10〜30μmの溶融球状シリカを全エポキシ樹脂組成物中85〜93重量%含む高充填材の場合は、従来の硬化促進剤の代わりに平均粒径5μm以下で粒径20μm以上が全体の5重量%以下とした潜伏性硬化促進剤を用いることにより、硬化性、流動性及び保存性が格段に優れたエポキシ樹脂組成物を得ることができる。

本発明に用いる潜伏性硬化促進剤は、平均粒径5μm以下で粒径20μm以上が全体の5重量%以下で、かつ融点又は軟化点が100℃以上、300℃以下という特性を有しているものである。平均粒径5μm以下でかつ粒径20μm以上が全体の5重量%を越えると、硬化促進剤の配合量を増やさなければ硬化性の向上が見られず、硬化性と流動性のバランスが悪くなる。潜伏性硬化促進剤の融点又は軟化点が100℃未満であると、混練時やエポキシ樹脂組成物の保存時に粘度上昇が起きるというように潜伏性に問題が生じる。融点又は軟化点が300℃を越えると成形時に硬化反応が進まないおそれがあり好ましくない。平均粒径5μm以下で粒径20μm以上が全体の5重量%以下にするには、発熱、融解しないような粉砕装置を用いて粉砕すればよい。融点又は軟化点は、示差走査型熱量計を用いて、昇温速度5℃/分での測定時の吸熱のピーク温度である。これらを満足させるものとしては、前記した一般式(1)、一般式(2)で示される構造のものが挙げられる。本発明での粒径は、レーザー式粒度分布計で測定した。
【0014】

本発明に用いる硬化硬化促進剤の特性を損なわない範囲で、トリフェニルホスフィン、1,8−ジアザビシクロ(5,4,0)ウンデセン−7、2−メチルイミダゾール等の硬化促進剤を併用いてもよい。
【0015】
本発明に用いる潜伏性硬化促進剤の配合量は、全エポキシ樹脂組成物中0.01〜1重量%程度が硬化性、保存性、他の特性のバランスがよく好適である。エポキシ樹脂とフェノール樹脂の配合比は、全エポキシ樹脂中のエポキシ基と全フェノール樹脂中のフェノール性水酸基の当量比、即ちエポキシ基数/フェノール性水酸基=0.5〜2、硬化性、耐熱性、電気特性の点からより好ましくは0.8〜1.2である。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an epoxy resin composition for semiconductor encapsulation and a semiconductor device that have good storage stability and curability.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Development of various latent curing accelerators for epoxy resin compositions that seal semiconductor elements such as IC and LSI, which do not progress at the temperature at the time of kneading, but have sufficient curing acceleration at the temperature at the time of molding. Has been made. The latent curing accelerator is a curing accelerator having excellent curability for exhibiting catalytic activity at an appropriate temperature or higher, and exhibiting excellent stability without exhibiting catalytic activity at a temperature lower than that. For example, JP-A-8-295721 discloses that a tetra-substituted phosphonium / tetra-substituted borate having a specific structure as a substituent on boron has both excellent curability and storage stability at room temperature. Yes. Tetra-substituted phosphonium / tetra-substituted borate exhibits catalytic activity due to dissociation of the ionic bond between the anion part and cation part. Therefore, the temperature at which the catalytic activity is exhibited can be changed by changing the temperature at which the bond dissociates. When the substituent on the boron has a specific structure, this ionic bond is moderately strong and does not show activity at the kneading temperature, and the ionic bond is dissociated at the molding temperature and shows activity quickly. Thereby, excellent curability and excellent stability, that is, latent property is developed.
[0003]
Conventionally used curing accelerators include imidazole, diazabicycloalkenes, triarylphosphine, and the like. However, since these curing accelerators function even at relatively low temperatures, an epoxy resin composition using them. Since the reaction proceeds at the time of kneading, problems such as poor filling due to lowering of fluidity at the time of molding, and poor conduction due to disconnection of the gold wire of the semiconductor element occur.
Since demands for improving productivity are becoming stricter, the efficiency of the molding cycle is being shortened by shortening the molding time. Tetra-substituted phosphonium tetrasubstituted borates described in JP-A-8-295721 is there. This is a curing accelerator with very high latency, and is a curing accelerator that gives a resin composition with excellent room temperature storage characteristics and excellent fluidity due to latency, but because of its high latency, productivity is high. Some problems may arise from the viewpoint of improvement. In other words, depending on the molding temperature, ionic bonds may be dissociated, and it may take some time to show activity, so there is a difficulty in shortening the molding cycle.
[0004]
As a technology related to the latent curing accelerator, for example, there are those having salt structures of various organic acids and phosphonium ions disclosed in JP-A-8-41290, and this latent curing accelerator has an ion pair. Since it is relatively easily affected by the external environment, it has been unsatisfactory for recent semiconductor encapsulating materials using low molecular weight epoxy resins or phenol aralkyl resins. Furthermore, for recent high-filling technology of inorganic fillers, it is necessary to configure the epoxy resin composition with fewer resin components, so even if the amount of the curing accelerator is further reduced, good curability is achieved. What expresses is required.
As described above, various investigations have been made regarding the latent curing accelerator, and an epoxy resin composition that is excellent in preservability of the epoxy resin composition, is fast-curing, and has high fluidity is desired.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the present invention, since the resin component decreases when the inorganic filler is highly filled, the latent curing accelerator having an average particle diameter that has been used in the past only spreads locally. If it does not increase, the curing becomes insufficient and the balance between curability and fluidity cannot be achieved. By reducing the average particle size of the curing accelerator and dispersing less latent curing accelerator uniformly, the curability is reduced. The present invention provides an epoxy resin composition and a semiconductor device that are well balanced with fluidity and excellent in storage stability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The epoxy resin used in the present invention refers to monomers, oligomers, and polymers generally having two or more epoxy groups in one molecule. For example, biphenyl type epoxy resin, orthocresol novolak type epoxy resin, dicyclopentadiene modified phenol type epoxy resin, A naphthol type epoxy resin, a triphenol methane type epoxy resin, etc. are mentioned.
The phenol resin used in the present invention refers to monomers, oligomers, and polymers in general having two or more phenolic hydroxyl groups in one molecule. Examples thereof include resins, terpene-modified phenol resins, and dicyclopentadiene-modified phenol resins.
[0011]
There is no restriction | limiting in particular in the inorganic filler used for this invention, The thing generally used for the sealing material can be used. Examples thereof include fused crushed silica powder, fused spherical silica powder, crystalline silica powder, secondary agglomerated silica powder, alumina, titanium white, and aluminum hydroxide, and fused spherical silica powder is particularly preferred. The shape is preferably infinitely spherical, and the amount of filling can be increased by mixing particles having different particle sizes.
[0012]
As a compounding quantity of this inorganic filler, 70 to 93 weight% is preferable in all the epoxy resin compositions. If it is less than 70% by weight, the reinforcing effect of the inorganic filler may not be sufficiently exhibited, and if it exceeds 93% by weight, the fluidity of the resin composition may be lowered, and filling failure may occur during molding. . In particular, in the case of a high filler containing 85 to 93% by weight of fused spherical silica having an average particle size of 10 to 30 μm in the total epoxy resin composition, an average particle size of 5 μm or less and a particle size of 20 μm or more is used instead of the conventional curing accelerator. By using a latent curing accelerator having a total content of 5% by weight or less, an epoxy resin composition having excellent curability, fluidity and storage stability can be obtained.
[0013]
The latent curing accelerator used in the present invention has the characteristics that the average particle size is 5 μm or less, the particle size is 20 μm or more and 5% by weight or less of the whole, and the melting point or softening point is 100 ° C. or more and 300 ° C. or less. Is. When the average particle size is 5 μm or less and the particle size is 20 μm or more and exceeds 5% by weight of the whole, the curing property cannot be improved unless the blending amount of the curing accelerator is increased, and the balance between curability and fluidity is deteriorated. . When the melting point or softening point of the latent curing accelerator is less than 100 ° C., there is a problem in latency such that viscosity increase occurs during kneading or storage of the epoxy resin composition. If the melting point or softening point exceeds 300 ° C, the curing reaction may not proceed during molding, which is not preferable. In order to make the average particle size 5 μm or less and the particle size 20 μm or more 5% by weight or less of the whole, it may be pulverized using a pulverizer that does not generate heat or melt. The melting point or softening point is the endothermic peak temperature during measurement at a heating rate of 5 ° C./min using a differential scanning calorimeter. As what satisfies these, the thing of the structure shown by above-mentioned General formula (1) and General formula (2) is mentioned. The particle size in the present invention was measured with a laser particle size distribution meter.
[0014]
In each of the latent curing accelerators represented by the general formula (1) and the general formula (2), the cation part is a quaternary phosphonium ion, and R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are aromatic rings. Or a monovalent organic group or monovalent aliphatic group having a heterocyclic ring, and a phosphorus atom and R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 form a P—C bond, They may be the same or different. Examples of the quaternary phosphonium ion in the cation moiety include tetraphenylphosphonium, triphenylphosphonium, and triarylmonoalkylphosphonium. As the phenol compound of the anion part of the general formula (1), bisphenol A (2,2-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane), bisphenol F (4,4-methylenebisphenol), 2,4-methylenebisphenol, 2 , 2-methylenebisphenol, bisphenol E, bis (4-hydroxyphenylsulfone) (bisphenol S), bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) methanone, etc., and the phenol compound of the anion moiety of the general formula (2) includes resorcinol, Catechol and the like are exemplified.
A curing accelerator such as triphenylphosphine, 1,8-diazabicyclo (5,4,0) undecene-7, 2-methylimidazole may be used in combination as long as the properties of the curing curing accelerator used in the present invention are not impaired. .
[0015]
The blending amount of the latent curing accelerator used in the present invention is preferably about 0.01 to 1% by weight in the total epoxy resin composition because of good balance between curability, storage stability and other characteristics.
