Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a resin composition, a laminate using the resin composition, a semiconductor wafer with a resin composition layer, a substrate for mounting a semiconductor with a resin composition layer, and a semiconductor device. In more detail, the present invention relates to a resin composition that is useful as an underfill material.


BACKGROUND ART

In recent years, in association with the downsizing and performance improvement of semiconductor devices, flip chip bonding is getting a lot of attention as a method for mounting a semiconductor chip (hereinafter, may be abbreviated as “chip”) on a substrate for mounting a semiconductor (hereinafter, may be abbreviated as the “substrate”). In the flip chip bonding, a construction method is common in which, after joining the chip and the substrate, the gap between the chip and the substrate is filled with an underfill material, which is then cured. However, due to the downsizing and performance improvement of semiconductor devices, the electrode pitch arranged on the chip has become narrower and the gap between the electrodes has also become narrower. As a result, there have been problems that operability is worsened due to a longer time for filling the underfill material, and that filling failures occur, such as unfilling. In response to this, a construction method has been examined in which, after supplying a pre-applied underfill material to the chip or the substrate, the joint of the chip and the substrate and the filling of the underfill material are carried out at the same time.


Since the underfill material is a member that comes into direct contact with the chip and the substrate, one of the important characteristics required for the underfill material is the adhesiveness to the chip and the substrate (hereinafter, may be abbreviated as “chip adhesiveness”) that can withstand long term use in an environment where the semiconductor device is used.


Patent Document 1 describes a pre-applied underfill material that uses a radical polymerizable monomer as the main resin. In this Patent Document 1, there is a description that a silane coupling agent is compounded for the purpose of improving the adhesiveness to the chip.


Patent Document 2 describes an underfill material containing an epoxy resin, an imidazole compound, and a maleimide compound.


Patent Document 3 describes a pre-applied underfill material using an epoxy compound and a carboxyl group containing flux component, and mentions adhesion.


Patent Document 4 describes a resin composition containing a maleimide compound, an epoxy resin, and an epoxy resin curing agent as essential components, and describes that high adhesiveness was obtained in the resin composition after thermosetting.


Patent Document 5 describes a resin composition for printed wiring substrates, the resin composition being a thermosetting resin composition used for forming an insulating layer in a printed wiring substrate, and containing a maleimide compound having a specific structure, a benzoxazine compound, and an inorganic filler (C).


Patent Document 6 describes an adhesive for electronic components, containing an aliphatic epoxy compound and a benzoxazine compound as the curing base compounds, and also containing a phenolic curing agent.


Patent Document 7 describes an adhesive composition containing a thermosetting compound, a polymer having a functional group that is capable of reacting with the thermosetting compound, and a hardener, wherein the adhesive composition has a melt viscosity at a bonding temperature of 10 Pa·s or more and 15000 Pa·s or less, a gelling time at a bonding temperature of 10 seconds or longer, and a gelling time at 240° C. of 1 second or longer and 10 seconds or shorter.


Patent Document 8 describes a method for producing a semiconductor device using a sheet-shaped thermosetting resin composition.


In addition, when the joint between a chip and a substrate is carried out via a metal that is easily oxidized, such as solder or copper, a flux component derived from a carboxylic acid or the like may be added to a pre-applied underfill material for the purpose of removing an oxidized layer, which is an inhibiting factor for joint, and obtaining good metal joint.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Technical Problem

However, radical polymerizable monomers generally cures quickly, and the mobility of the adhesion site of the compounded silane coupling agent is rate-controlled by the main resin that has been polymerized before forming a sufficient number of bonds with the silanol groups on the surface of the chip. As a result, in the pre-applied underfill material described in Patent Document 1, sufficient adhesiveness to a chip and substrates such as printed wiring boards cannot be obtained. In addition, since radical polymerizable monomers cures quickly, the resin composition cures before it is embedded in the unevenness present on the surface of the chip. Therefore, there is a problem that sufficient anchor effect, which is useful in improving adhesiveness, cannot be obtained by the pre-applied underfill material described in Patent Document 1.


Since the material described in Patent Document 2 acts only on the polyimide passivation film, there is a problem that the application range is narrow.


In the technique described in Patent Document 3, reaction between the carboxyl group containing compound and the epoxy compound progresses slightly even at room temperature, and the flux activity is reduced over time during storage. Therefore, the pre-applied underfill material described in Patent Document 3 has problems such as unstable joint formation and poor mass productivity.


In the technique described in Patent Document 4, the water absorption rate of the maleimide resin is high, and thus proposing a problem that the chip adhesiveness after the moisture absorption treatment is significantly lowered. When the adhesiveness is insufficient, water penetrates from the peeling interface and the insulation reliability is greatly reduced. Note that it is difficult even for the maleimide resin alone to achieve both adhesiveness with the chips and adhesiveness with the printed wiring substrates.


In Patent Document 5, there is no description about the flux activity, and no description about the flux component, either. Therefore, the resin composition described in Patent Document 5 has a problem that good metal joint cannot be obtained.


In Patent Document 6, although the adhesiveness of the epoxy compound is high, the epoxy compound also reacts with the flux component, thus proposing a problem that flux activity sufficient for obtaining good metal joint cannot be obtained.


The adhesive composition of Patent Document 7 contains a hardener having a flux property, but in Examples, an epoxy compound and a polymer containing an epoxy group are used, and both react at a temperature lower than the bonding temperature. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain sufficient flux activity.


Patent Document 8 also describes that an epoxy resin is suitable as the thermosetting resin contained in the thermosetting resin composition, but as described above, the epoxy compound also reacts with the flux component, thus proposing a problem that flux activity sufficient for obtaining good metal joint cannot be obtained.


The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a resin composition that has excellent adhesiveness to a chip and substrates and excellent flux activity and that is suitable for an underfill material, a laminate, a semiconductor wafer with a resin composition layer, a substrate for mounting a semiconductor with a resin composition layer, and a semiconductor device. Preferably, an object of the present invention is to provide a resin composition that has excellent adhesiveness to a chip and excellent adhesiveness to substrates such as printed wiring boards, and has excellent flux activity, and that is suitable for an underfill material, a laminate, a semiconductor wafer with a resin composition layer, a substrate for mounting a semiconductor with a resin composition layer, and a semiconductor device.

Note that, in the present embodiment, “(meth)acryloyl” refers to both “acryloyl” and “methacryloyl” corresponding thereto, “(meth)acryl” refers to both “acryl” and “methacryl” corresponding thereto, “(meth)acrylate” refers to both “acrylate” and “methacrylate” corresponding thereto, and “(meth)allyl” refers to both “allyl” and “methallyl” corresponding thereto.


[I. Resin Composition]


The resin composition of the present embodiment is suitably a resin composition that is used as an underfill material to be used for the flip chip bonding, and contains a benzoxazine compound (A), an organic compound (B) having a flux function, and at least one thermosetting component (C) selected from a phenolic resin and a radical polymerizable thermosetting resin.


The radical polymerizable thermosetting resin is a thermosetting resin having a functional group that is to be polymerized by radicals, and is a resin or a compound having at least one or more functional groups selected from the group consisting of an alkenyl group, a maleimide group and a (meth)acryloyl group.


In the resin composition of the present embodiment, the mass ratio between the benzoxazine compound (A) and the thermosetting component (C) ((A)/(C)) is 20/80 to 90/10, preferably 25/75 to 85/15, more preferably 25/75 to 80/20, and still more preferably 25/75 to 75/25 from the viewpoint of obtaining a resin composition that has excellent adhesiveness to a chip and substrates such as printed wiring boards and excellent flux activity and that is suitable for an underfill material. When the content ratio of the benzoxazine compound (A) is smaller than the lower limit of the above range, sufficient adhesiveness to a substrate cannot be obtained. In addition, when the content ratio thereof is larger than the upper limit, the reaction between the benzoxazine compound and the flux component emerges, and sufficient flux activity cannot be obtained.


The resin composition of the present embodiment may contain at least any one of a radical polymerization initiator (D), an inorganic filler (E), and a flexibility imparting component (F).


It is not clear why a resin composition that has excellent adhesiveness to a chip and substrates such as printed wiring boards and excellent flux activity and that is suitable for the use for an underfill material can be obtained in the present invention, but the present inventors presume the reason as follows. The benzoxazine compound creates a phenolic hydroxy group and a tertiary amino group as polar groups that contribute to the adhesiveness after the ring opening polymerization. As a result, it is presumed that the polar groups existing on the surface of the adherend and the chemical interaction such as hydrogen bond are effectively expressed, thereby providing strong adhesiveness. In addition, it is also presumed that the benzoxazine compound is less likely to react with the flux component during storage or due to heat treatment compared to epoxy compounds, thereby not causing deactivation of the flux.


[I-1. Benzoxazine Compound (A)]


The benzoxazine compound (A) in the resin composition of the present embodiment is not particularly limited as long as it has an oxazine ring as the basic skeleton. In the present embodiment, the benzoxazine compound (A) also includes compounds having a polycyclic oxazine skeleton, such as naphthoxazine compounds.


The benzoxazine compound (A) does not generate a volatile by-product by heating, and the benzoxazine ring undergoes the ring opening polymerization and is suitably cured. The cured product is excellent in heat resistance, water resistance, and flame retardancy. In addition, the benzoxazine compound (A) is expected to have high chip adhesiveness and substrate adhesiveness because a phenolic hydroxy group and a tertiary amino group, which are polar groups, are produced upon the ring opening polymerization.


The benzoxazine compound (A) may be used in combination with the thermosetting component (C) other than the benzoxazine compound (A) described below as long as the adhesiveness that the above benzoxazine compound (A) has is not impaired. As the thermosetting component (C), a compound that exhibits reactivity with the benzoxazine compound (A) and does not exhibit reactivity with a flux component is preferable.


For the benzoxazine compound (A), from the viewpoint of preventing voids caused by volatilization of the benzoxazine compound (A) during the flip chip bonding, the molecular weight of the benzoxazine compound (A) is preferably 400 or more although it is not particularly limited as long as the effects of the present invention are achieved. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of obtaining more sufficient flux activity, the molecular weight of the benzoxazine compound (A) is preferably 500 or less.


The benzoxazine compound (A) preferably contains at least one selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by the following formula (1), the following formula (2), the following formula (3), and the following formula (4). Note that, in the present embodiment, oligomers produced by polymerizing monomers or the like may be contained in the benzoxazine compound (A).

As the benzoxazine compound (A), those commercially available may be used, and examples thereof include, for example, a P-d-based benzoxazine (manufactured by SHIKOKU CHEMICALS CORPORATION) and an F-a-based benzoxazine (manufactured by SHIKOKU CHEMICALS CORPORATION).


[I-2. Organic Compound (B) Having Flux Function]


The resin composition of the present embodiment contains the organic compound (B) having the flux function in order to exhibit flux activity during the flip chip bonding. The organic compound (B) having the flux function is not particularly limited as long as it is an organic compound having one or more acid sites in the molecule. As the acid site, for example, a phosphoric acid group, a phenolic hydroxy group, a carboxyl group, and a sulfonic acid group are preferable, and a phenolic hydroxy group or a carboxyl group is more preferable from the viewpoint of more effectively preventing migration of a metal constituting the joint, such as solder and copper, and corrosion in a semiconductor device using the resin composition of the present embodiment as an underfill material, preferably as a pre-applied underfill material.


The organic compound (B) having the flux function preferably has an acid dissociation constant pKa of 3.8 or more and 15.0 or less in order to sufficiently remove the oxidized layer at the joint, and more preferably has an acid dissociation constant pKa of 4.0 or more and 14.0 or less from the viewpoint of achieving both storage stability and flux activity of the varnish and the resin laminate.


In addition, the organic compound (B) having the flux function in the resin composition of the present embodiment preferably has a molecular weight of 200 or more, and more preferably has a molecular weight of 250 or more from the viewpoint of preventing the organic compound (B) having the flux function from being volatilized before the flux activity is exhibited during the flip chip bonding, that is, from being volatilized before the oxidized layer at the joint is removed. In order that the organic compound (B) having the flux function has mobility as an acid and sufficient flux activity is obtained, the molecular weight is preferably 8000 or less, more preferably 1000 or less, and still more preferably 500 or less.


The organic compound (B) having the flux function is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of abietic acid, neoabietic acid, dehydroabietic acid, pimaric acid, isopimaric acid, palustric acid, diphenolic acid, dihydroabietic acid, tetrahydroabietic acid, an acid-modified rosin resin, N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-propanediamine, N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propanediamine, and phenolphthalin from the viewpoint of solvent solubility and storage stability.


These compounds (B) can be used alone as one kind, or can be used in an appropriate mixture of two or more kinds.

Since dehydroabietic acid, dihydroabietic acid, an acid-modified rosin resin, N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-propanediamine, and N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propanediamine have relatively low reactivity, they hardly react with the benzoxazine compound (A) described above and the thermosetting component (C) described below, and are thus still more preferable from the viewpoint of maintaining sufficient flux activity necessary for removing the oxidized layer.


Although the content of the organic compound (B) having the flux function in the resin composition of the present embodiment is not particularly limited, it is preferably 1 part by mass or more and 50 parts by mass or less based on 100 parts by mass in total of the benzoxazine compound (A), the thermosetting component (C) described below, and the flexibility imparting component (F) described below, more preferably 5 parts by mass or more and 40 parts by mass or less, and still more preferably 10 parts by mass or more and 30 parts by mass or less from the viewpoint of achieving both flux activity of the resin composition and flexibility, which is one of the important characteristics upon forming and using a laminate. However, when the flexibility imparting component (F) is not contained in the resin composition of the present embodiment, the content of the organic compound (B) is the amount described above based on 100 parts by mass in total of the benzoxazine compound (A) and the thermosetting resin (C).

These phenolic resins can be used alone as one kind or can be used in an appropriate mixture of two or more kinds.


The radical polymerizable thermosetting resin is not particularly limited as long as it is a thermosetting resin having a functional group that is to be polymerized by radicals. Such a thermosetting resin is not particularly limited, and a resin or a compound having at least one or more functional groups selected from the group consisting of an alkenyl group, a maleimide group and a (meth)acryloyl group is preferable.

As the radical polymerizable thermosetting resin, a maleimide compound is preferable from the viewpoint of reactivity with the benzoxazine compound (A).


It is not clear why a maleimide compound is preferable, but the present inventors presume the reason as follows. That is, it is presumed that, while a resin composition obtained by the addition reaction between the benzoxazine compound (A) and the maleimide compound can impart the heat resistance that the maleimide compound has, low adhesiveness, which is a weak point of a resin composition obtained by curing of the maleimide compound alone, can be improved by the benzoxazine compound (A). As the mechanism for improving the adhesiveness, it is presumed that, in addition to the introduction of polar groups such as a phenolic hydroxy group and a tertiary amino group produced over the course of the ring opening polymerization of the oxazine ring described above, by mitigating a high crosslinking density due to polymerization of maleimide groups through the addition reaction, moderate following properties to the adherend are exhibited.

These inorganic fillers (E) can be used alone as one kind, or can be used in an appropriate mixture of two or more kinds.


As the inorganic filler (E), those surface-treated with a silane coupling agent may be used.

In the method for mounting the chip with the resin composition layer on the substrate and the method for mounting a semiconductor chip on the substrate with the resin composition layer, a flip chip bonder compatible with the thermocompression bonding method can be suitably used. In addition, although the case in which the chip is mounted on the substrate in the form of flip chip bonding is described for convenience in the present embodiment, the object to which the resin composition of the present embodiment is applied while mounting the chip in the form of flip chip bonding does not need to be a substrate.

2. Evaluation of Resin Composition

(1) Flux Activity


The resin laminates obtained in Examples 1 to 13 and Comparative Examples 1 to 9 were cut into 8 mm×8 mm, which were stuck to the pad portion (15 μm Cu) of a substrate for mounting a semiconductor, WALTS-KIT MB50-0102JY manufactured by WALTS CO., LTD. so as to cover it, thereby obtaining a substrate for mounting a semiconductor with a resin laminate. Next, using a flip chip bonder, the bump portion (30 μm Cu pillar+15 μm SnAg solder) of a semiconductor chip WALTS-TEG MB50-0101JY manufactured by WALTS CO., LTD. and the pad portion of the substrate for mounting the semiconductor with the resin laminate were aligned to be overlapped accurately, and then melted and joined with solder, thereby obtaining a semiconductor device. After subjecting the obtained semiconductor device to a heat treatment in an oven at 200° C. for 2 hours, cross section polishing observation of the joint portion was performed to confirm the solder joint state. As a result of the cross section observation, when sufficient solder wettability was confirmed, it was described as A, and when no solder wettability was confirmed, it was described as C. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.


(2) Chip Adhesiveness


Evaluation of chip adhesiveness was performed in accordance with JIS K5600-5-6. For example, the resin laminates obtained in Examples 1 to 13 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 were divided into individual chips with 4 cm×4 cm, which were then stuck with a vacuum pressing laminator, thereby obtaining chips with a resin composition layer. These chips with a resin composition layer were heated at 200° C. for 3 hours using an oven. After returning the temperature to room temperature, to the chips with a resin composition layer, six incisions for each of the vertical and horizontal direction were provided at 1 mm intervals so as to be orthogonal to each other, thereby forming a 25-grid rectangular pattern. After subjecting the chips with a resin composition layer and incisions to a pressurization and moisture absorption treatment using a pressure cooker (temperature: 121° C., humidity: 100% RH, pressure: 2 atm) for up to 96 hours, a peeling test with a transparency sticking tape was performed under a room temperature environment.


As a result of the peeling test, the case where no peeling was confirmed at all was described as A, the case where peeling was confirmed only in a very small portion was described as B, and the case where large peeling was confirmed was described as C. The results are shown in Table 1 and Table 2.


(3) HAST


The resin laminates obtained in Examples 1 to 13 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 were each stuck onto a fine circuit pattern with L/S=40/40 μm of a printed wiring substrate by a vacuum laminator to fill the gaps between the fine wirings. Using an oven, the fine circuit pattern substrate with the resin laminate fabricated as described above was heated at 200° C. for 3 hours, thereby fabricating a test sample. As a pretreatment, the obtained test sample was subjected to a humidification heat treatment under conditions with a temperature of 85° C. and a humidity of 60% for 168 hours, and the treated sample was allowed to pass through a reflow step in which the maximum temperature was set to 260° C. three times. For the test sample after the pretreatment, the continuous humidity insulation resistance was measured under conditions with a temperature of 130° C., a humidity of 85%, and an applied voltage of 5.0 V.


As the evaluation criteria, a resistance value of 107Ω or less is defined as a short circuit. When it takes 300 hours or longer until being short circuited, it was described as A, and when it takes 100 hours or shorter, it was described as C. The results are shown in Table 1 and Table 2.
