Definitions
- Embodiments in accordance with the present invention relate generally to polynorbomene (PNB) compositions, which contain a wide variety of additives that are useful for forming microelectronic and/or optoelectronic devices and assemblies thereof, and more specifically to compositions encompassing PNBs with at least one of norbomene-type repeating unit which contains a polyether functionalized end group, where such compositions exhibit improved thermal, mechanical and opto-electronic properties.
- PNB polynorbomene
- Organic polymer materials are increasingly being used in the microelectronics and optoelectronics industries for a variety of applications.
- the uses for such organic polymer materials include interlevel dielectrics, redistribution layers, stress buffer layers, leveling or planarization layers, alpha-particle barriers, and passivation layers for microelectronic and optoelectronic devices.
- organic polymer materials are photosensitive, thus self-imageable, and therefore, offer additional advantage of reducing the number of processing steps required for the use of such layers and structures made therefrom.
- organic polymer materials enable the direct adhesive bonding of devices and device components to form various structures.
- Such devices include microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and microoptoelectromechanical systems (MOEMS).
- FIGs. 1A to 1D show photolithographic images formed from a composition of this invention at various exposure doses.
- FIG. 2 shows die shear strength of a composition of this invention which is compared with a comparative composition.
- Embodiments in accordance with the present invention are directed to self- imageable compositions that encompass norbornene-type polymers and the films, layers, structures, devices or assemblies that can be formed using such compositions.
- Some of such embodiments encompass self-imageable compositions which can provide positive- tone images, after image-wise exposure of a film formed thereof, followed by develo ⁇ ment of such images, using an aqueous base developer solution.
- the embodiments as described fully herein can routinely provide films of desirable thickness in the range of about 2 to 5 microns ( ⁇ m) or greater and images demonstrating aspect ratios in excess of 1 :2 for isolated line/trench resolution in such films.
- the films, layers, and structures formed from the polymer embodiments of the present invention being useful for, among other things, interlevel dielectrics, redistribution layers, stress buffer layers, leveling or planarization layers, alpha-particle barriers for both microelectronic and optoelectronic devices and the assemblies formed thereof, as well as adhesive bonding to form chip-stacks and to fixably attach transparent covers over image sensing arrays.
- microelectronic device is inclusive of a “micro-optoelectronic device” and an “optoelectronic device”.
- microelectronic devices or a microelectronic device assemblies are inclusive of optoelectronic devices and micro-optoelectronic devices as well as assemblies thereof.
- microelectromechanical systems include microoptoelectro- mechanical systems (MOEMS).
- RDL distributed layer
- polymer will be understood to mean a molecule that encompasses a backbone of one or more distinct types of repeating units (the smallest constitutional unit of the polymer) and is inclusive of, in addition to the polymer itself, residues from initiators, catalysts, and other elements attendant to the forming of such a polymer, where such residues are generally understood as not being covalently incorporated thereto, but maybe covalently bound to the front or back end of the polymeric chain as in certain catalyst initiated polymerization. Further, such residues and other elements, while normally removed during post polymerization purification processes, are typically mixed or co-mingled with the polymer such that some small amount generally remains with the polymer when it is transferred between vessels or between solvents or dispersion media.
- polymer composition is meant to include at least one synthesized polymer, as well as materials added after the forming of the polymer(s) to provide or modify specific properties of such composition.
- materials that can be added include, but are not limited to, solvents, photoactive compounds (PAC), dissolution rate inhibitors, dissolution rate enhancers, dissolution promoters, crosslinking moieties, reactive diluents, antioxidants, adhesion promoters, and plasticizers.
- modulus is understood to mean the ratio of stress to strain and unless otherwise indicated, refers to the Young's Modulus or Tensile Modulus measured in the linear elastic region of the stress-strain curve. Modulus values are generally measured in accordance with ASTM method DI708-95. Films having a low modulus are understood to also have low internal stress.
- photodeflnable refers to the characteristic of a material or composition of materials, such as a polymer or polymer composition in accordance with embodiments of the present invention, to be formed into, in and of itself, a patterned layer or a structure.
- a “photodeflnable layer” does not require the use of another material layer formed thereover, for example, a photoresist layer, to form the aforementioned patterned layer or structure.
- a polymer composition having such a characteristic is generally employed in a pattern forming scheme to form a patterned film/layer or structure. It will be noted that such a scheme incorporates an “imagewise exposure” of the photodeflnable material or layer formed therefrom.
- Such imagewise exposure being taken to mean an exposure to actinic radiation of selected portions of the layer, where non-selected portions are protected from such exposure to actinic radiation.
- self-imageable compositions will be understood to mean a material that is photodefinable and can thus provide patterned layers and/or structures after direct image-wise exposure of a film formed thereof followed by develo ⁇ ment of such images in the film using an appropriate developer.
- hydrocarbyl refers to a radical or a group that contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms, non-limiting examples being alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkaryl, and alkenyl.
- halohydrocarbyl refers to a hydrocarbyl group where at least one hydrogen atom has been replaced by a halogen atom.

- the photosensitive adhesive composition of the present invention exhibits an excellent adhesiveness to a suitable substrate, such as for example a semiconductor chip, and adhesiveness of 20 to 200 Newton (N) at 25°C can be achieved before curing and generally after etching and ashing process.
- the photosensitive adhesive composition of the present invention exhibits an indentation modulus at room temperature after curing which is relatively comparable to the indentation modulus of the uncured sample and not causing significant stress concentration between the semiconductor chips but contributing to forming of the adhesive layer with sufficient adhesiveness. Further, since the indentation modulus in a state before cured is within the predetermined range of indentation modulus after cured, and then, for example, it is not so possible that the photosensitive adhesive composition before cured is significantly deformed or flowed out, it is possible to increase the accuracy of alignment in laminating the semiconductor chips.
- the photosensitive adhesive composition of the present invention in a state before cured after etching process and ashing process has sufficient stickiness with the semiconductor chip as required in die bonding. Therefore, the adhesive layer for bonding the semiconductor chips to each other securely fixes the semiconductor chips to each other and contributes to improvement of the reliability of the chip laminate.
- the photosensitive adhesive composition of the present invention it is possible to realize the adhesive layer having sufficiently both adhesiveness and stress relaxation.
- the adhesive layer has both element protective function of buffer coat film (or, buffer coat function) and adhesive function of die bonding film (or, die bonding function) with a single layer, it is possible to form the chip laminate without decreasing the reliability and to thin the chip laminate as compared to the conventional one in two layers as well. Further, it is possible to reduce the volume of the mold portion and to shorten the bonding wire due to thinning of the chip laminate, thereby these factors contribute to light-weight and cost-savings.
- the indentation modulus of the cured product of the photosensitive adhesive composition of the present invention is generally 2 to 3 GPa at 25°C as described above, and further, in some other embodiments it is about 2.2 to 3.2 GPa and few other embodiments it is about 2.4 to 3.0 GPa.
- the indentation modulus of the cured product being less than the above lower limit, the adhesiveness of the adhesive layer is reduced, thereby the interface of the layer with the semiconductor chip is peeled, and, when the filler is contained in the mold part, the filler may pass through the adhesive layer and adversely affect the semiconductor chip.
- the flexibility of the adhesive layer is reduced, thereby stress relaxation is lowered and it is impossible to mitigate, for example, residual stress generated in accordance with lamination of the semiconductor chips and local concentration of thermal stress due to thermal expansion difference between the semiconductor chips and the adhesive layer. Consequently, cracks are made in the semiconductor chips, or the semiconductor chip and the adhesive layer are peeled off from each other.
- Such problems are readily overcome by the use of the photosensitive adhesive compositions of this invention.
- the indentation modulus of the cured product is measured with a nanoindenter at 25°C.
- the melt viscosity of the photosensitive adhesive composition of the present invention in a state before cure is generally from about 20 to 500 Pascal-second (Pa s) in the range of 100 to 200°C. Because such composition is superior in wettability with respect to the semiconductor chip 20 (FIG. 2), it becomes hard to generate voids or the like in the adhesive layer. Therefore, since it is possible to form homogeneous adhesive layers with little unevenness of physical properties, the adhesive layer hardly leads to local concentration of stress when the semiconductor chips are adhered together through the adhesive layer. Thereby, it is possible to inhibit the occurrence of cracks in the semiconductor chips and the occurrence of delamination between the adhesive layer and the semiconductor chip.
- Pa s Pascal-second
- the melt viscosity of the cured photosensitive adhesive composition of the present invention may be measured by a rheometer. Accordingly, in some of the embodiments of this invention, the melt viscosity before cure is from about 25 to 400 Pa s, and in some other embodiments it is from about 30 to 300 Pa s.
- the photosensitive adhesive composition of the present invention in a state before cure has certain adhesiveness, the adhesiveness can be decreased by performing UV irradiation thereon. Therefore, the photosensitive adhesive composition of the present invention may be controllable in adhesiveness depending on UV irradiation.
- the photosensitive adhesive composition of the present invention in a state before curing and after etching and ashing process as described above has stickiness generally greater than about 3.0 N/25mm at 25 °C with respect to a back grinding tape capable of releasing upon UV irradiation. Since the photosensitive adhesive composition of the present invention may achieve sufficient stickiness with respect to the back grinding film even after performing certain processes such as etching process and ashing process accelerating the deterioration of the organic material, it is still possible to fix securely a semiconductor wafer, when dicing process is performed to the semiconductor wafer formed with a film of the photosensitive adhesive composition of the present invention, thereby dicing accuracy can be improved.
- the stickiness (i.e., bond strength) referred to hereinabove is from 3.5 to 10.0 N/25mm.
- the photosensitive adhesive composition of the present invention in a state before cured and after UV irradiation has stickiness generally not more than 0.5 N/25mm at 50°C with respect to a back grinding tape capable of releasing upon UV irradiation. Since the photosensitive adhesive composition of the present invention features less tackiness with respect to the back grinding tape upon UV irradiation, when a chip is picked up after dicing process, it is easy to separate between the dicing tape and the coating film, thus preventing any potential defects, such as breaking of the chip, among others.
- the photosensitive adhesive composition of the present invention by reducing stickiness (i.e., the tackiness), it is possible to inhibit, for example, the photosensitive adhesive composition of the present invention from sticking to the dicing blade in the dicing process, and sticking to the collet in the mounting process. As a result, it is possible to inhibit failure in dicing or picking-up from occurring.
