Description

エポキシ樹脂硬化促進剤及びエポキシ樹脂組成物Epoxy resin curing accelerator and epoxy resin composition
 本発明は、エポキシ樹脂硬化促進剤及びエポキシ樹脂組成物に関する。さらに詳しくは、半導体素子などの電子部品用のエポキシ樹脂系封止剤の製造に適したエポキシ樹脂硬化促進剤及びそれを含有するエポキシ樹脂組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to an epoxy resin curing accelerator and an epoxy resin composition. More specifically, the present invention relates to an epoxy resin curing accelerator suitable for producing an epoxy resin-based encapsulant for electronic components such as semiconductor elements, and an epoxy resin composition containing the same.
 IC等の半導体素子の封止方法として、エポキシ樹脂組成物のトランスファー成形が低コスト、大量生産に優れている。しかし、電子機器の小型化、軽量化のために半導体の高集積化が進んでおり、また表面実装も進んでいる中で半導体封止剤用エポキシ樹脂組成物もそれらにつれて、信頼性の要求が非常に強くなってきた。このため、エポキシ樹脂組成物の中に無機材料の充填剤の比率を多くすることで、エポキシ樹脂の低吸湿性、高強度、低熱膨張化という特性を出すことで、信頼性を担保してきた。 (2) As a method for encapsulating a semiconductor element such as an IC, transfer molding of an epoxy resin composition is excellent in low cost and mass production. However, as semiconductors are becoming more highly integrated in order to reduce the size and weight of electronic devices, and as surface mounting is progressing, epoxy resin compositions for semiconductor encapsulants are also required to have higher reliability. It has become very strong. For this reason, reliability has been ensured by increasing the ratio of the filler of the inorganic material in the epoxy resin composition to provide the epoxy resin with characteristics of low hygroscopicity, high strength, and low thermal expansion.
 無機材料の充填剤の比率を多くした場合の弊害は、エポキシ樹脂組成物の成型時の硬化性が不十分になる点と高粘度になる点の2つである。硬化性が悪いと、半導体装置の信頼性を損ねることとなり、また高粘度となり流動性が悪いと、エポキシ樹脂組成物がパッケージ内に十分に充填されず、空隙が生じてしまう恐れがある。エポキシ樹脂組成物の硬化性が良いもの(例えば、特許文献1)や流動性が良いもの(例えば、特許文献2)が提案されているが、両方を十分に満足できるものはなかった。 (4) When the ratio of the filler of the inorganic material is increased, there are two problems that the curability during molding of the epoxy resin composition becomes insufficient and that the viscosity becomes high. If the curability is poor, the reliability of the semiconductor device is impaired. If the viscosity is high and the fluidity is poor, the epoxy resin composition may not be sufficiently filled in the package, and voids may be generated. An epoxy resin composition having good curability (for example, Patent Document 1) and a resin having good fluidity (for example, Patent Document 2) have been proposed, but none of them can sufficiently satisfy both.
特開2007-119598号公報JP 2007-119598 A 特開2018-104559号公報JP 2018-104559 A
 そこで、特定のエポキシ硬化促進剤を用いることで、エポキシ樹脂組成物の硬化性が良く半導体装置の信頼性を高め、また、流動性が良くエポキシ樹脂組成物がパッケージ内に十分に充填され、空隙が生じてしまう恐れのないエポキシ樹脂組成物を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, by using a specific epoxy curing accelerator, the curability of the epoxy resin composition is good and the reliability of the semiconductor device is improved, and the flowability is good and the epoxy resin composition is sufficiently filled in the package, and the void is improved. It is an object of the present invention to provide an epoxy resin composition which is free from the possibility of occurrence of a resin.

本発明のエポキシ樹脂硬化促進剤(Q)は、イミダゾリウムカチオン(A)の耐熱性が極めて高く安定である。そのため、加熱溶融する配合温度でも一般式(2)、(3)又は(4)で示されるアニオン(B)と塩を組むことができ、硬化反応の促進を抑制させることが可能となる。さらに、アニオン部はキレート構造を形成するため、熱安定性がよく、エポキシ樹脂、硬化剤及び硬化促進剤の混合物を加熱溶融する配合温度でも、硬化反応を促進しない。一方、さらに温度があがった硬化温度では、すばやく分解し、エポキシ樹脂と硬化剤の反応を促進させることができるため、エポキシ樹脂組成物の硬化性が良く半導体装置の信頼性を高めることができる。 The epoxy resin curing accelerator (Q) of the present invention has extremely high heat resistance of the imidazolium cation (A) and is stable. Therefore, the salt can be combined with the anion (B) represented by the general formula (2), (3) or (4) even at the compounding temperature at which the composition is heated and melted, and the acceleration of the curing reaction can be suppressed. Furthermore, since the anion portion forms a chelate structure, it has good thermal stability, and does not accelerate the curing reaction even at the compounding temperature at which the mixture of the epoxy resin, the curing agent and the curing accelerator is heated and melted. On the other hand, at an even higher curing temperature, the epoxy resin composition can be quickly decomposed, and the reaction between the epoxy resin and the curing agent can be promoted. Therefore, the curability of the epoxy resin composition is good and the reliability of the semiconductor device can be improved.
さらに、エポキシ樹脂硬化促進剤(Q)は、イミダゾリウムカチオン(A)を有するため、比較的融点が低い。つまり、加熱溶融する配合温度と融点が近い、又はそれ以下である。このことから、流動性が良いエポキシ樹脂組成物を設計できる。つまりエポキシ樹脂硬化促進剤(Q)を用いることで、エポキシ樹脂組成物の硬化性が良く半導体装置の信頼性を高め、流動性が良くエポキシ樹脂組成物がパッケージ内に十分に充填され、空隙が生じてしまう恐れのないエポキシ樹脂組成物となり、半導体などの電子部品用のエポキシ樹脂系封止材の製造に好適である。 Further, the epoxy resin curing accelerator (Q) has an imidazolium cation (A) and therefore has a relatively low melting point. That is, the melting point is close to or lower than the compounding temperature at which the mixture is heated and melted. From this, an epoxy resin composition having good fluidity can be designed. That is, by using the epoxy resin curing accelerator (Q), the curability of the epoxy resin composition is improved, the reliability of the semiconductor device is improved, the fluidity is improved, the epoxy resin composition is sufficiently filled in the package, and voids are formed. It is an epoxy resin composition that is unlikely to be produced, and is suitable for producing an epoxy resin-based sealing material for electronic components such as semiconductors.
 以下、本発明のエポキシ樹脂硬化促進剤(Q)及びエポキシ樹脂組成物について説明する。本発明のエポキシ樹脂硬化促進剤(Q)は、一般式(1)で示されるイミダゾリウムカチオン(A)と、一般式(2)、(3)又は(4)で示されるアニオン(B)からなるイミダゾリウム塩(S)を含むことを特徴とする。 Hereinafter, the epoxy resin curing accelerator (Q) and the epoxy resin composition of the present invention will be described.
