Description

The present invention relates to resin compositions, 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 electronic devices such as 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 a substrate material having a low relative permittivity and a low dielectric loss tangent that enables reduction of transmission loss is required. In recent years, as applications that handle such high-frequency signals, in addition to the above-mentioned electronic devices, practical application and practical planning of new systems that handle high-frequency wireless signals in the ITS field (automobiles, transportation system-related) and indoor short-range communication fields. Is progressing, 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 exhibiting excellent high-frequency characteristics in a printed wiring board that requires low transmission loss. As for the use of the polyphenylene ether-based resin, for example, a method of using the polyphenylene ether and the thermosetting resin in combination has been proposed. Specifically, a resin composition containing the polyphenylene ether and the epoxy resin (for example, Patent Documents). 1), a resin composition in which a polyphenylene ether and a cyanate ester resin having a low relative dielectric constant among thermosetting resins are used in combination (see, for example, Patent Document 2) and the like are disclosed.

In addition, the present inventors have made the resin composition semi-IPN at the production stage (A stage stage) based on the polyphenylene ether resin and the polybutadiene resin, so that they have compatibility, heat resistance, thermal expansion characteristics, and adhesion to the conductor. We have proposed a resin composition that can improve properties and the like (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

Further, the use of a maleimide compound as a material for a printed wiring board is also being studied. For example, Patent Document 4 describes a maleimide compound having at least two maleimide skeletons, an aromatic diamine compound having at least two amino groups and having an aromatic ring structure, and the maleimide compound and the aromatic diamine compound. A resin composition characterized by having a catalyst having a basic group and a phenolic hydroxyl group and silica, which promote a reaction, is disclosed.

However, the substrate material for a printed wiring board used in a high frequency band in recent years is required to have various characteristics such as a low coefficient of thermal expansion in addition to high frequency characteristics and high adhesiveness to a conductor.

For example, as for the adhesiveness with a conductor, the peeling strength of the copper foil when using a low profile copper foil (Rz: 1 to 2 μm) having a very small surface roughness on the adhesive surface side with the resin is 0.6 kN / m. The above is desired. Further, as a low thermal expansion characteristic, it is desired that the coefficient of thermal expansion (Z direction, Tg or less) is 45 ppm / ° C. or less.

Of course, as high frequency characteristics, excellent dielectric properties in a higher frequency band are required. For example, the relative permittivity of a substrate material when a general E glass substrate is composited is 3.7 or less, and further. Is desired to be 3.6 or less. Moreover, there is an increasing need to satisfy the above-mentioned required values not only in the conventional dielectric characteristic values at 1 to 5 GHz but also in the high frequency band of 10 GHz band or higher.

In view of the current situation, the present invention comprises a resin composition having excellent high frequency characteristics (low relative permittivity, low dielectric loss tangent), low thermal expansion characteristics, and high level of adhesion to a conductor. , An object of the present invention is to provide a laminated board and a multilayer printed wiring board manufactured by using the resin composition and having good appearance and handleability.
