Description

Release film

The present invention relates to a release film used in resin molding of an optical semiconductor element or a semiconductor element, in particular, a resin mold for forming an LED (Light Emitting Diode) lens.

For example, LED, Photoisolator, Phototransistor, Photodiode, CCD (Charge Coupled Device), CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor), etc. A semiconductor element such as an optical semiconductor element, a transistor, an IC (Integrated Circuit), an LSI (Large Scale Integration), or a super LSI is a polyoxyxylene resin composition or an epoxy resin combination. The material is a sealing material and is sealed by resin molding.

The sealing of the optical semiconductor element or the semiconductor element is carried out by injecting a sealing material containing a polyoxyxylene resin composition or an epoxy resin composition into a mold as a mold resin using a mold forming apparatus.

As a method of releasing the mold and the molded article, for example, a method of inserting a release film between the mold and the mold resin has been put to practical use (for example, see Patent Document 1). The release film is supplied by a roll to roll in a mold forming apparatus, and is fed into a mold of a mold which is tempered to a forming temperature, and is vacuum-sucked and adhered to the mold, and then filled. Mold resin. After a certain period of time, the mold resin is cured, and the mold is opened, and the molded product is directly peeled off from the release film while the release film is adsorbed to the mold. The film for release film is, for example, a tetrafluoroethylene-ethylene copolymer resin (ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) resin) or a tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer resin (FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene) resin) containing a thermoplastic fluororesin. A film of a single layer (for example, refer to Patent Document 2).

However, when such a film for release film is used for the formation of an LED lens in which a polyoxyxylene resin composition is a mold resin, for example, a bullet-shaped lens shape having a bottom surface of about Φ 6 mm and a height of about 4 mm, even There is also a phenomenon in which the film for vacuum suction release does not extend, and there is an advantage that the LED lens of the design size cannot be obtained even if it is not adhered to the mold. In addition, when the thickness of the release film is made thinner and the elongation is improved, the film for release film which is present at the edge of the mold is broken during vacuum suction.

Moreover, it is known to use a film containing a resin composition containing a crystalline aromatic polyester (the crystalline aromatic polyester containing a butylene terephthalate in a crystal component) as a film for release film ( For example, refer to Patent Document 3).

However, as a film for release film, as shown in Patent Document 3, a film containing a resin composition containing a crystalline aromatic polyester (the crystalline aromatic polyester containing butylene terephthalate) is contained. In the case of forming a LED lens, if the film for vacuum release is adhered to the mold, but it extends beyond the break point, the release film is partially thinned and is formed on the surface of the formed LED lens. Abnormalities in bumps or wrinkles. Therefore, the actual situation is that in the resin molding of the LED lens, there is no film which can be preferably used as a film for release film.

The film for release film containing the thermoplastic elastomer composition described above can be formed by a conventionally known method such as a melt extrusion method or a melt casting method. In the following examples, a method of forming a release film by a melt extrusion method using a T die is exemplified.

The film for release film obtained by this method is obtained by using an extruder such as a single-axis extruder or a twin-screw extruder, and is substituted with nitrogen according to the characteristics of the thermoplastic elastomer composition. The molding material of the thermoplastic elastomer composition is melt-kneaded in a gas atmosphere of air in a gap between the extruder and the molding material, and the lip portion of the tip end of the T-die disposed at the tip of the extruder is melt-extruded. The release film is directly sandwiched between the pressure roller and the cooling roller in the stretching machine, or is inserted into the separator on both sides or one side of the pressure roller side and the cooling roller side to be cooled, and then cooled. The coiler is sequentially taken up by the coiler.

Fig. 3 is a view showing a schematic configuration of a film production apparatus for producing a release film by the above method. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the periphery of the material input hopper of the film manufacturing apparatus shown in FIG. 3. In FIG. 3, the film manufacturing apparatus basically comprises a material input hopper 2, an extruder 1, a T die 7, a pulling machine 11, and a coiler 15. The material input hopper 2 is for inserting a molding material, and as shown in FIG. 4, the nitrogen supply conduit 3 is inserted through the spacer 3a while the material input hopper 2 is connected to the extruder 1. Further, the nitrogen supply conduit 3 is bent so as to extend along the substantially central axis of the material inlet 1c, and the tip end thereof is extended to the vicinity of the outer circumference of the extrusion screw 1a in the extruder 1. The oxygen contained in the molding material supplied from the material input hopper 2 or the extruder 1 is supplied to the nitrogen supply conduit 3 when the molding material is mixed and stirred by the extrusion screw 1a of the extruder 1. Replaced by nitrogen.

The extruder 1 is configured by mixing and stirring the molding material by the extrusion screw 1a, and conveying it in the direction of the arrow B, and performing the molding material by the electric heating mechanism built in the cylinder 1b of the extruder 1. Heat and melt. The molding material which is melted and conveyed in this manner is supplied to the filtering mechanism 5 via the connecting pipe 4 as shown in FIG. Then, the unmelted molding material is separated by the filtering mechanism 5, and the molten molding material is supplied to the gear pump 6. In the gear pump 6, the pressure of the molten molding material is increased, and the molten molding material is extruded toward the T-die 7. In the T die 7, the melt-molded material is extruded at a specific pressure, and the film 8 having a specific thickness and a specific width is formed from the lip portion 7a of the T-die 7. The film 8 formed in this manner is wound around the outer circumferential surface of the cooling roll 10 of the stretching machine 11, and is adjusted to a specific thickness by the pressure roller 9, and further cooled and solidified by the conveying roller pair 12, 13 It is transferred to the winder 15.

In the coiler 15, the film 8 is guided by the guide rolls 15a, 15b, 15c and taken up by the take-up tube 16. Further, a thickness measuring device 14 is disposed between the pair of conveying rollers 12 and 13 and the guide roller 15a, and the circumferential speed of the cooling roller 10 is adjusted and controlled so as to be required according to the thickness measured by the thickness measuring device 14. thickness. Thereby, the film for release film described above is formed.

The release film may be formed into a surface shape of the film in accordance with the surface shape necessary for the molded article. For example, in the case where the surface of the LED or the like is a mirror surface, a film for leaving the surface of the film for release film is used as a mirror surface. In addition, since the IC or the LSI is formed with fine irregularities on its surface, it is used for a release film having fine irregularities on the surface of the release film.

As a method of forming the surface shape of the film for release film, when the surface is mirror-finished, there is a film surface in which the surface of the metal cooling roll is previously mirror-shaped, and the film for release film in a molten state is pressed by the pressure roller. The method of adjusting the surface of the release film to the mirror surface is carried out on the cooling roll. Further, in the case of using a separator, there is a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film or an OPP (Oriented polypropylene) film as a separator, and transfer thereof The method of the surface.

In Fig. 3, on the side of the pressure roller 9 of the film 8, the separator 18a is supplied from the delivery roller 17a in the direction of the arrow, on the side of the cooling roller 10 of the film 8, and the separator 18b is directed to the arrow from the delivery roller 17b. The direction is supplied, whereby the surface shape of the film 8 can be transferred by the spacer. After the film 8 having the separators 18a and 18b in the double-area layer is temporarily wound up, the separators 18a and 18b are peeled off and the film 8 is taken up, whereby a release film having a specific surface shape can be obtained.

In the case where fine irregularities are formed on the surface of the release film, there is a method in which fine irregularities are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the above-mentioned metal cooling roll, and the release film is melted by a pressure roller. When the pressure roller is pressed against the cooling roll, the fine unevenness formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cooling roll is transferred to the surface of the release film. Further, in the case of using a separator, there is a method of transferring a surface thereof by using a PET film or an OPP film which has been matted on the surface as a separator.

When the surface of the release film is mirror-finished, the surface roughness is determined according to JIS B0601-2001 at a speed of 0.6 mm/sec, a cutoff value of 0.8 mm, and an evaluation length of 8.0 mm. The arithmetic mean deviation Ra may be 0.10 or less, and the maximum height roughness Rz may be 1.00 or less, and the surface may be appropriately formed. When the contour arithmetic mean deviation Ra is 0.10 or less and the maximum height roughness Rz is 1.00 or less, the surface of the molded article to which the surface of the release film is transferred is smooth.

When the fine unevenness is formed on the surface of the release film, the arithmetic mean deviation Ra of the profile measured in the same manner as described above is 0.5 or more, and the maximum height roughness Rz is 5.00 or more. The surface can be formed on the ground.
