More specifically, the present invention relates to a resin composition that can be cured by heat, a photo-semiconductor sealing material, and a resin composition for optical-semiconductor encapsulation that is preferably used in an optical semiconductor device.

The curable resin composition is a resin composition that can be cured by heat, light, or the like, and is expected to be applied to various fields in recent years. Specifically, for example, various applications such as electric and electronic members, optical members, molding materials, and the like for various applications such as paints and adhesive materials have been studied in various ways, and curable resins Development of a composition is desired. Among them, the curable resin composition is preferably used as a material for a sealing material for an optical semiconductor such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode) and a photodiode, because the cured product (molded article) may exhibit transparency (light transmittance) useful. The optical semiconductor sealing material is a member formed so as to cover an LED element or a photodiode element constituting an optical semiconductor device, and sealing the element. When a curable resin composition is used as the material of the optical semiconductor sealing material, a cured product (molded product) of the curable resin composition is excellent in transparency (light transmittance), and is excellent in long-time exposure to short wavelength light of high energy such as blue light or violet light Heat discoloration such that it is not colored even if it is put under a high temperature over a long period of time due to heat generation of the element at the time of light emission is demanded.

As a conventional curable resin composition, for example, a resin composition containing an epoxy resin, an organic silicon compound, and an organoaluminum compound is disclosed for the purpose of obtaining a resin composition having excellent storage stability (for example, , Patent Documents 1 to 3).

An epoxy resin modified silicone resin has been studied as a conventional curable resin composition for the purpose of obtaining a cured product (molded article) excellent in mechanical strength, adhesive property, heat resistance, electrical characteristics, moisture resistance, and the like See, for example, Patent Document 4). It has also been studied to use a curable resin composition as a material of the optical semiconductor sealing material (see, for example, Patent Documents 5 and 6).

In addition, in order to obtain an optical semiconductor sealing material excellent in light transmittance, light resistance, and heat discoloration resistance, for example, an epoxy resin has been studied (see, for example, Patent Documents 7 and 8).

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-21418 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-12623 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-27952 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-51025 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-45644 Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2006-77234 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-213848 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-277697

Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose a resin composition comprising an epoxy resin, an organic silicon compound, and an organoaluminum compound. Such a resin composition has good curability at a relatively low temperature. However, And as a result, there is a problem that workability is deteriorated, and storage stability at room temperature is not yet sufficient. Patent Document 3 discloses a resin composition comprising a reaction product of an organosilicon compound and an epoxy resin, an organoaluminum compound, and an amine compound. However, such a resin composition is not cured by heating for a long time at a high temperature of 170 ° C or higher need. On the other hand, in order to lower the temperature condition at the time of curing and to increase the addition amount of the organoaluminum compound, or to improve the heat resistance and light resistance of the cured product, the blending amount of the organosilicon compound containing a silanol group or an alkoxysilane group And when it is used as a curing agent for an epoxy resin, it is difficult to secure sufficient storage stability at room temperature. The cured product (molded article) of such a resin composition has a problem that it is left under high temperature or is colored when exposed to high-energy short-wavelength light such as blue light or violet light. In addition to the storage stability at room temperature, The discoloration resistance and the light resistance are not yet sufficient and can not be said to be sufficient for application to optical semiconductor sealing materials and the like which are used under strict use conditions.

Patent Document 5 discloses a thermosetting resin composition comprising an epoxy resin, an organic silicon compound, and an organoaluminum compound. However, such a resin composition is difficult to be stably stored at room temperature for a long period of time. Further, when such a cured product (molded product) of the resin composition is used for the LED sealing material, cracks and coloring tend to occur with time due to heat generation from the element at the time of light emission. As a result, And the heat resistance of the molded article is not sufficient.

Patent Document 6 discloses a resin composition containing a polysiloxane compound and an organoaluminum compound, but such a resin composition is difficult to be stably stored at room temperature for a long period of time. In order to cure such a resin composition, it is necessary to heat the resin composition at a high temperature of 180 DEG C or more for a long time. When the cured product (molded product) of such a resin composition is used as an LED sealing material, the permeability of water vapor or corrosive gas is high, and the luminance retention rate in continuous light emission of the LED is lowered in the presence of sulfur dioxide and the like at high temperature and high humidity There is a challenge.

These epoxy resins may be appropriately selected depending on the application, and they may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

However, in order to make both the storage stability at room temperature and the curing property at the time of heat curing compatible, the epoxy resin (A) contained in the curable resin composition of the present invention preferably contains an alicyclic epoxy resin. The content of the alicyclic epoxy resin in the curable resin composition is preferably 5 parts by mass or more, more preferably 10 parts by mass or more, and still more preferably 15 parts by mass or more, based on 100 parts by mass of the total of (A) And most preferably 100 parts by mass, that is, all alicyclic epoxy resins.

Of these, alicyclic epoxy resins are preferably used, particularly in view of compatibility between storage stability at room temperature and curing at the time of heat curing.

That is, it is preferable that the component (A) of the curable resin composition of the present invention contains a component comprising an alicyclic epoxy resin (hereinafter this component is also referred to as (A-1)), It is one.

[Chemical Formula 1]

Figure pat00001

(Wherein, X 1 and X 2 are the same or different, represents an epoxy-cyclohexane which may have a substituent. R 3 and R 4 are the same or different and represents a divalent organic group having a carbon number of 1 ~ 20. M and n is the same or different and represents an integer of 0 to 10).

If the alicyclic epoxy resin is represented by the general formula (1), the molded article obtained by curing the curable resin composition is more excellent in adhesion. This is presumably due to the fact that both of the ether bond (derived from an epoxycyclohexane group) and the ester bond exist in the molded article, and that the molded article contains a cyclohexane ring.

In the general formula (1), X 1 and X 2 are the same or different and each represents an epoxy cyclohexane group which may have a substituent. The substituent is not particularly limited, but is preferably a hydrocarbon group. The hydrocarbon group is preferably an alkyl group, an aryl group or an aralkyl group. The hydrocarbon group may be an unsubstituted group or a group in which one or two or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by another hydrocarbon group. Examples of other hydrocarbon groups in this case include an alkyl group (when the hydrocarbon group is an alkyl group, the hydrocarbon group as a whole is an unsubstituted alkyl group), an aryl group, an aralkyl group, and an alkenyl group.

The position of the epoxy group in the epoxycyclohexane group is not limited, and can be formed at an arbitrary position. The position of the substituent group in the form in which the epoxycyclohexane group has a substituent is also not limited.

In the general formula (1), R 3 and R 4 are the same or different and each represents a divalent organic group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms. The organic group is not particularly limited as long as the carbon number is generally 1 to 20, and organic groups including aliphatic hydrocarbon groups and aliphatic hydrocarbons can be mentioned. The organic group containing an aliphatic hydrocarbon refers to an organic group having an aliphatic hydrocarbon and a non-hydrocarbon moiety such as an ether bond (-O-) or an ester bond (-OC (= O) -) in the structure. The aliphatic hydrocarbon includes both of a chain structure and a ring structure.

The organic group is preferably an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, more preferably an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms.

In the general formula (1), m and n are the same or different and each represents an integer of 0 to 10. m and n are not particularly limited as long as they are within the above range, but when m and n are both 0, the other is preferably 1 or more. That is, it is preferable that m + n > = 1.

Specific examples of the component (A-1) include alicyclic epoxy resins represented by the following formulas (2-1) to (2-5). The form in which the component (A-1) is at least one resin selected from the group consisting of these resins is also one of the preferred forms of the present invention.

Figure pat00002

In the above formula (2-4), p represents an integer of 1 to 3.

As the above-mentioned components, a compound in which an ester group is directly bonded to a cyclohexane ring, that is, a form in which m = 0 in the general formula (1) is used as in the formulas (2-1) to (2-4) Is more preferable. With such a form, the resulting cured product is excellent in durability. Particularly preferably, it is a resin represented by the formula (2-1).

Specific examples of the above-mentioned alicyclic epoxy resin include, for example, Celloxide 2021P (manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd.) as the compound represented by the formula (2-1) and Celloxide 2081 , Celloxide 2083 and Celloxide 2085 (both manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd.) are preferable.

As the component (A-1), a more polyfunctional alicyclic compound such as 1,2-epoxy-4- (2-oxiranyl) cyclohexane adduct of 2,2-bis (hydroxymethyl) Epoxy resins can also be preferably used. The form of such an alicyclic epoxy resin is also one of the preferred forms of the present invention.

Specific examples of the more multifunctional alicyclic epoxy resin include EHPE 3150 (manufactured by Daicel Chemical Industries, Ltd.) and the like.

The weight average molecular weight of the alicyclic epoxy resin is preferably less than 1,500. When the weight average molecular weight of the alicyclic epoxy resin is less than 1,500, the viscosity of the curable resin composition can be prevented from becoming too high, and handling is facilitated. When the curable resin composition is used as a material for the optical semiconductor sealing material, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of air bubbles at the interface between the sealing material and the adherend (substrate, reflector, lead frame, etc.) And the light transmittance and sealing performance of the sealing material obtained from the curable resin composition can be made sufficiently high. The weight average molecular weight of the alicyclic epoxy resin is more preferably 50 or more and less than 1,000, and still more preferably 80 or more and less than 800. The alicyclic epoxy resin preferably has a weight average molecular weight of less than 500, more preferably 50 or more and less than 450.
