Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure of an interlayer insulating layer of a large-scale integrated circuit (LSI) mounting multilayer wiring board used in electronic equipment such as computers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 2 or 3, an organic insulating layer made of a normal polyimide film or a filler polyimide film is used as an interlayer insulating layer of a multilayer wiring board of this type. However, two or more layers were repeatedly formed for electrical insulation and flattening of surface irregularities.

Referring to FIG. 2, two ordinary polyimide films 3 are formed on the surfaces of the substrate 1 and the lower wiring pattern 2. The thickness of this polyimide film 3 is 5 to 10 μ per layer.
Is. In this case, when two layers are formed, the film thickness is 10 to 20.
However, since the transparency is large, the lower layer wiring pattern can be seen through the polyimide film 3 from the surface,
Easy to check.

Referring to FIG. 3, two layers of filler polyimide film 4 containing SiO _{2 and the} like and having excellent crack resistance are formed on the surfaces of the substrate 1 and the lower wiring pattern 2. Since the filler polyimide film 4 has high mechanical strength, crack defects are drastically reduced.

Referring to FIGS. 5 (a)-(e), there is shown a conventional method of manufacturing the structure of the insulating layer of FIG. First,
The lower layer wiring pattern 2 is formed on the substrate 1 (see FIG. 5).
(A)). On this surface, two layers of normal polyimide film 3,
The entire surface is applied by spin coating or the like, dried and cured (FIG. 5B). Next, a photoresist 5 is applied to the surface of the cured polyimide film 3 and exposed to ultraviolet light through a glass mask (not shown) to pattern the photoresist 5 (FIG. 5C). Next, the polyimide film 3 is etched using the photoresist 5 as a mask by wet etching with a hydrazine hydrate solvent or dry etching with CF ₄ gas or the like (FIG. 5).
(D)). Finally, the photoresist 5 is peeled off (see FIG. 5).
(E)).

Further, by using the filler polyimide film 4 instead of the polyimide film 3 in FIGS. 5A to 5E, the structure of the insulating layer of FIG. 3 can be manufactured.

[0007]

However, as shown in FIG. 2, in the case where two or more layers of ordinary polyimide film 3 are formed, cracks are likely to occur inside due to heat stress and moisture absorption. If two or more layers are formed only by the filler polyimide film 4 containing SiO _{2 and the} like, the transparency of the film is significantly deteriorated due to the filler SiO ₂ , and the lower wiring pattern 2 cannot be seen from the surface through the filler polyimide film 4. However, there is a drawback that inspection and checking become impossible. Further, the conventional manufacturing method as shown in FIGS. 5A to 5E has a drawback that the manufacturing process is complicated.

A structure of an insulating layer composed of two layers of polyimide and glass is also known (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 55-55-55).
105399 gazette). However, in such a structure in which glass (inorganic material) and polyimide (organic material) are used in combination, distortion or delamination easily occurs due to the difference in physical properties between the two materials, and the quality of the multilayer substrate However, it has the drawback of being less reliable.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a structure of an insulating layer which is excellent in insulating property, inspection property, check property and crack resistance.

Another object of the present invention is to simplify the manufacturing process,
It is to provide a structure of an insulating layer.

Still another object of the present invention is to alleviate the difference in physical properties between layers and prevent strain, delamination and the like from occurring.
It is to provide a structure of an insulating layer.

[0012]

The structure of the insulating layer according to the present invention is such that the interlayer insulating layer of the multilayer wiring board has a combined structure of a polyimide film and a filler polyimide film, and the polyimide film and the filler polyimide film are ,Respectively,
It is characterized by being a photosensitive polyimide film and a photosensitive filler polyimide film.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, a normal polyimide film 3 is formed as a first layer on the surfaces of the substrate 1 and the lower wiring pattern 2.
And a filler polyimide film 4 containing SiO ₂ is formed on the second layer in an overlapping manner. With such a structure, it is possible to form an interlayer insulating layer having excellent insulating properties, inspection, checking, and crack resistance.

In the above embodiment, the normal polyimide film 3 is used as the first layer and the filler polyimide film 4 is used as the second layer.
, But the filler polyimide film 4 is formed on the first layer.
Alternatively, a normal polyimide film 3 may be formed on the second layer. However, in this case, the crack resistance is slightly worse than that in the above-mentioned examples.

Referring to FIGS. 4A-4E, there is shown one method of manufacturing the structure of the insulating layer of FIG. First, FIG.
Similar to (a), the lower layer wiring pattern 2 is formed on the substrate 1 (FIG. 4 (a)). A photosensitive polyimide film 3'and a photosensitive filler polyimide film 4'are coated on the entire surface and dried at low temperature (FIG. 4 (b)). Therefore, in this state, the photosensitive polyimide film 3'and the photosensitive filler polyimide film 4'are not imidized. Next, UV exposure is performed through the glass mask 10 (FIG. 4C). Next, when development is performed, the portion not irradiated with ultraviolet rays is removed (FIG. 4 (d)). Finally, the dry non-imidized polyimide film 3 and the filler polyimide film 4 are cured and imidized (FIG. 4E).

Thus, the manufacturing method of this embodiment (see FIG.
(A) to (e) are conventional manufacturing methods (FIGS. 5A to 5E).
The manufacturing process is simpler than that of (e).

[0018]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the structure of the interlayer insulating layer of the multilayer wiring board is a combination structure of a normal polyimide film and a filler polyimide film, so that the insulating property is improved. It is possible to form an interlayer insulating layer having excellent inspection, checkability and crack resistance. Also, as the polyimide film and the filler polyimide film, respectively,
The use of the photosensitive polyimide film and the photosensitive filler polyimide film also has an advantage of simplifying the manufacturing process. Furthermore, since the same polyimide-based resin composed of a normal polyimide film and a filler polyimide film is used for the interlayer insulating layer, the difference in physical characteristics between layers is alleviated, and the advantage that strain, delamination, etc. are less likely to occur is there.
