Background

Thermosetting adhesives containing benzocyclobutene (BCB), phenol-based epoxy resins, or polyorganosilsesquioxane are known as adhesives used for laminating semiconductors and bonding electronic components (see, for example, patent documents 1 and 2).

However, in order to cure a thermosetting adhesive containing BCB, heating at a high temperature of about 200 to 350 ℃ is required, and an adherend may be damaged by exposure to the high temperature. In addition, thermosetting adhesives containing phenolic epoxy resins have a problem that when high-temperature processes (for example, 260 to 280 ℃) such as lead-free reflow soldering are performed, the adhesives are decomposed to generate exhaust gas, thereby reducing adhesion.

Further, there are the following problems: when the adhesive layer of a laminate obtained by laminating base materials on which wiring is formed is cracked or peeled off by applying a thermal shock or the like, the base materials are peeled off or the wiring is broken, which causes a failure of a device provided with the laminate.

When the chain transfer agent (F) is contained, the amount of the chain transfer agent (F) used is, for example, 0.05 to 1.0 part by weight, preferably 0.1 to 0.5 part by weight, based on 1 part by weight of the thermal radical polymerization initiator contained in the adhesive composition of the present invention.

When the chain transfer agent (F) is contained, the amount of the chain transfer agent (F) used is, for example, 0.05 to 1.0 part by weight, preferably 0.05 to 0.1 part by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the polymerizable compound (the total amount of the polyorganosilsesquioxane (a) or, in the case where the radical polymerizable compound (B) is also contained, the total amount of the polyorganosilsesquioxane (a) and the radical polymerizable compound (B)).

[ others ]

The adhesive composition of the present invention may further contain one or two or more other components within a range not impairing the effects of the present invention. Examples of the other components include: a solvent, a crosslinking accelerator, a tackifier, an anti-aging agent, a filler, a conductive metal powder, a curing aid, a stabilizer (an ultraviolet absorber, a light stabilizer, a heat stabilizer, a heavy metal deactivator, or the like), a flame retardant aid, a reinforcing material, a nucleating agent, a lubricant, a wax, a plasticizer, a softener, a surfactant, a mold release agent, an impact resistance modifier, a hue modifier, a transparentizing agent, a rheology modifier, a processability modifier, a colorant, an antistatic agent, a dispersant, a surface modifier, a delustering agent, a defoaming agent, a foam inhibitor, a defoaming agent, an antibacterial agent, an antiseptic agent, a viscosity modifier, a thickener, a photosensitizer, a foaming agent, or the like.

Examples of the solvent include water and an organic solvent, and there are no particular limitations on the solvent as long as it can dissolve the polyorganosilsesquioxane (a) and additives used as needed and does not inhibit polymerization.

As the solvent, a solvent which can impart fluidity suitable for coating by spin coating and can be easily removed by heating at a temperature at which polymerization can be suppressed is preferably used, and a solvent having a boiling point of 170 ℃ or less under normal pressure is preferably used.

Examples of the solvent include: toluene, butyl acetate, methyl isobutyl ketone, xylene, mesitylene, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, cyclohexanone, and the like. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

The solvent is preferably used in such a range that the concentration of the nonvolatile component contained in the adhesive composition is, for example, about 30 to 80 wt%, preferably 40 to 70 wt%, and particularly preferably 50 to 60 wt%, from the viewpoint of excellent coatability at the time of spin coating. If the amount of the solvent used is excessive, the viscosity of the adhesive composition becomes too low, and it becomes difficult to form a layer having an appropriate film thickness (for example, about 0.5 to 30 μm). On the other hand, if the amount of the solvent used is too small, the viscosity of the adhesive composition becomes too high, and it tends to be difficult to uniformly apply the adhesive composition to an adherend.

The adhesive composition of the present invention can be prepared, for example, by stirring/mixing the above-mentioned respective components at room temperature or, if necessary, while heating. The adhesive composition of the present invention may be used in the form of a one-pack type composition in which a mixture of each component is previously mixed and used as it is, or in the form of a multi-pack type composition [ for example, a two-pack type composition (for example, a first pack containing the components (a), (B), (C), (E), and (F) and a second pack containing the component (D) ] in which 2 or more components stored in advance are mixed at a predetermined ratio before use and used. In the case where the adhesive composition of the present invention is a two-pack type containing a first agent containing the components (a), (B), (C), (E), and (F) and a second agent (for example, an anchor coating agent) containing the component (D), the following method of use may be employed: before use, they are not mixed, but they are applied to an adherend, and at least a part of the first agent and the second agent is mixed on the application surface.

The adhesive composition of the present invention is not particularly limited, and is preferably liquid at ordinary temperature (about 25 ℃). The viscosity of the adhesive composition of the present invention is not particularly limited, and is preferably adjusted according to the film thickness when the coating is performed by spin coating, and for example, in the case of coating with a film thickness of 0.1 to 50 μm, it is preferably 1 to 5000 mPas. When the viscosity of the adhesive composition of the present invention is within the above range, a coating film having a uniform film thickness can be easily formed on a thin film substrate such as a silicon wafer. The viscosity of the adhesive composition of the present invention can be measured by using a viscometer (trade name "MCR 301", manufactured by ANTON PAAR) at a swing angle of 5%, a frequency of 0.1 to 100(1/s), a temperature: the measurement was carried out at 25 ℃.

By curing the adhesive composition of the present invention, it can be converted into a cured product excellent in heat resistance, insulation properties, heat resistance, crack resistance, adhesiveness to an adherend, and adhesion. Therefore, the adhesive can be suitably used for bonding desired articles (components and the like) to each other.

[ cured product ]

The cured product of the present invention is a cured product of the adhesive composition. The cured product of the present invention is obtained by conducting a polymerization reaction of a polymerizable compound (polyorganosilsesquioxane (a) or the like) contained in the adhesive composition.

The method of causing the polymerization reaction of the polymerizable compound to proceed, i.e., the method of curing, may be appropriately selected from known methods, and for example, when the adhesive composition of the present invention contains a thermal radical polymerization initiator, it may be cured by heat treatment. Further, for example, when the adhesive composition of the present invention contains a photo radical polymerization initiator, it can be cured by irradiation with active energy rays.

When the adhesive composition of the present invention is cured by heat treatment, the adhesive composition contains polyorganosilsesquioxane (a), and therefore, a cured product can be quickly formed by heating at a low temperature of less than 200 ℃. Namely, it has low-temperature curability. The heating temperature is, for example, 50 to 190 ℃.

In the method of curing the adhesive composition of the present invention, it is preferable to perform heat treatment of changing the curing temperature stepwise from the viewpoint of obtaining a cured product having more excellent crack resistance, and it is preferable to set the curing degree at 85% or less (for example, 50 to 85%, particularly 55 to 85%, and more particularly 60 to 80%) at the end of the heat treatment in the first stage, and to set the curing degree at more than 85% (preferably 90% or more, and particularly preferably 95% or more) by the heat treatment in the second stage and thereafter, and the upper limit of the curing degree is 100%).

The degree of curing at the end of the first-stage heat treatment can be calculated from the following equation by measuring the amount of heat released from the sample at the end of the first-stage heat treatment and the amount of heat released from the sample before the heat treatment by DSC.

Degree of cure (%) ([ 1- (heat release at the end of the first stage of heat treatment/heat release before heat treatment) ] × 100

It is considered that by controlling the degree of curing at the end of the first-stage heat treatment to 85% or less, a structure in which stress relaxation is likely to occur can be formed, and the crack resistance of the finally obtained cured product can be improved.

The heating temperature in the first stage heating treatment is preferably a temperature at which the degree of curing does not exceed 85% even when the heating treatment is performed for 5 minutes or more, for example, 90 ℃ or more and less than 150 ℃, preferably 100 to 140 ℃, and particularly preferably 110 to 140 ℃, from the viewpoint of obtaining a cured product having more excellent crack resistance. In addition, from the viewpoint of obtaining a cured product having more excellent crack resistance, it is preferable to cure the cured product slowly over a certain period of time, and the heating time is, for example, 5 minutes or more (preferably 5 to 120 minutes, particularly preferably 10 to 60 minutes, and most preferably 30 to 60 minutes).

The heating temperature in the heating treatment after the second stage is, for example, 150 to 200 ℃, preferably 160 to 190 ℃, and particularly preferably 160 to 180 ℃. The heating time is, for example, 5 to 120 minutes, preferably 10 to 60 minutes.

The cured product of the present invention thus obtained has excellent heat resistance and a thermal decomposition temperature of, for example, 200 ℃ or higher (for example, 200 to 500 ℃, preferably 260 ℃ or higher, and particularly preferably 300 ℃ or higher). The thermal decomposition temperature can be determined by the method described in examples.

The cured product of the present invention has excellent insulating properties, adhesiveness to an adherend, and adhesion. Further, it is excellent in crack resistance and can suppress the occurrence of cracks even when a cold and hot shock is applied.

[ base Material with adhesive layer ]

The adhesive layer-attached substrate of the present invention has an adhesive layer formed of a cured product of the adhesive composition on a substrate. The adhesive layer-attached substrate of the present invention may be a single-sided adhesive layer-attached substrate having an adhesive layer on one side of the substrate, or a double-sided adhesive layer-attached substrate having an adhesive layer on both sides of the substrate. When the adhesive layer-attached substrate of the present invention is a double-sided adhesive layer-attached substrate, at least one adhesive layer may be a layer formed from a cured product of the adhesive composition of the present invention, and the other adhesive layer may be a layer formed from another adhesive.

Examples of the base material include: organic substrates (e.g., plastic substrates, paper substrates, wood substrates, etc.), inorganic substrates (e.g., metal substrates, ceramic substrates, semiconductor substrates, glass substrates, etc.).

The adhesive layer-attached base material of the present invention may have only one layer of base material, or may have two or more layers of base material. The thickness of the substrate is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately selected, for example, within a range of 1 to 10000 μm.

The adhesive layer-attached base material of the present invention may have only one adhesive layer, or may have two or more adhesive layers. The thickness of the adhesive layer is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately selected, for example, within a range of 0.1 to 10000 μm.

In the adhesive layer-attached substrate of the present invention, when the adhesive layer has at least two layers, i.e., a layer formed by a cured product of the first agent and a layer formed by a cured product of the second agent, the thickness of the layer formed by the cured product of the first agent is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately selected, for example, within a range of 0.1 to 10000 μm. The thickness of the layer formed by curing the second agent (so-called anchor coating agent layer) is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately selected, for example, within a range of 0.001 to 10000 μm.

The base material with an adhesive layer of the present invention may have other layers (for example, an intermediate layer, a primer layer, and the like) in addition to the base material and the adhesive layer.

The adhesive layer in the adhesive layer-attached substrate is a cured product of the adhesive composition when the adhesive composition is a composition containing the components (a), (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F). On the other hand, in the case where the adhesive composition is a two-pack type composed of a first agent containing the components (a), (B), (C), (E), and (F) and a second agent containing the component (D) (so-called anchor coating agent), and they are used separately without being mixed before use, the adhesive layer has at least two layers of the layer formed by the cured product of the first agent and the layer formed by the cured product of the second agent. The order of lamination of the two layers is preferably changed as appropriate depending on the type of the base material provided with the adhesive layer, and a layer formed by a cured product of the second agent (so-called anchor coating agent layer) is preferably provided on a surface directly contacting the inorganic base material.

For example, when the substrate is an inorganic substrate, a substrate with an adhesive layer in which the layers are laminated in the order of [ inorganic substrate/layer formed of cured product of second agent/layer formed of cured product of first agent ] is preferable from the viewpoint of adhesiveness and adhesiveness.

On the other hand, when the substrate is an organic substrate, it is not necessary to include the component (D) as the adhesive composition, and an adhesive composition not including the component (D) is preferably used.

The adhesive layer-attached substrate of the present invention can be obtained, for example, by applying the adhesive composition of the present invention to at least one surface of a substrate and further drying the adhesive composition as necessary. The coating method is not particularly limited, and a known and conventional method can be used. The method and conditions for drying are not particularly limited, and may be set to conditions that can rapidly remove volatile components such as solvents while suppressing the progress of the curing reaction. The adhesive layer thus obtained does not have adhesiveness at temperatures lower than 50 ℃, but exhibits adhesiveness by heating at a temperature at which damage to electronic components such as semiconductor chips can be suppressed, and then rapidly cures.

Examples of the shape of the adhesive layer-attached base material of the present invention include: sheet, film, tape, plate, etc. Further, a release liner may be bonded to the surface of the adhesive layer.

[ laminate ]

The laminate of the present invention has a structure in which two or more substrates are laminated with a cured product of the adhesive composition interposed therebetween.

The base material may be the same as that of the base material with an adhesive layer.

As the laminate of the present invention, a laminate having the following structure is preferable: the adhesive composition is cured to form a cured product, and the cured product is laminated on a wafer, a chip or a wafer.

The laminate of the present invention can be produced, for example, by: the adhesive composition is applied to at least one side of a substrate to form an adhesive layer, and another substrate is bonded to the adhesive layer to cure the adhesive composition.

For example, when the adhesive composition is a composition containing the components (a), (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F), the adhesive composition can be produced by applying the composition to a bonding surface of a base material to form an adhesive layer, bonding another base material to the adhesive layer, and curing the adhesive composition.

For example, when the adhesive composition is a two-pack type adhesive composition comprising a first agent containing the components (a), (B), (C), (E), and (F) and a second agent containing the component (D) (so-called anchor coating agent), and these are coated separately before use without being mixed, it is preferable to change the coating procedure as appropriate depending on the type of the substrate, and it is preferable to coat the second agent on the inorganic substrate first.

For example, in the case of producing a laminate of two or more inorganic substrates, it can be produced by: first, the second agent is applied to the bonding surfaces of all the inorganic substrates to be laminated, and the inorganic substrates to which the second agent is applied are bonded to each other by applying the first agent to the second agent application surface side, and the first agent is cured.

For example, when a laminate in which an inorganic substrate is laminated on an organic substrate is produced, the production can be carried out in the following manner: the first agent is applied to the bonding surface of the organic substrate, the second agent is applied to the bonding surface of the inorganic substrate, and the organic substrate coated with the first agent and the inorganic substrate coated with the second agent are bonded so that the coating surfaces are bonded to each other, and the first agent is cured.

The adhesive layer can be produced by laminating the base materials with the adhesive layer and curing the adhesive composition.

The total thickness of the laminate of the present invention can be appropriately selected, for example, within a range of 1 to 100000. mu.m. The thickness of the adhesive layer (total thickness when two or more layers are contained) is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately selected within a range of, for example, 1 to 100000 μm.

The laminate of the present invention may have other layers (for example, an intermediate layer, a primer layer, other adhesive layers, and the like) in addition to the layer containing the cured product of the adhesive composition and the layer containing the substrate.

Specifically, examples of the laminate of the present invention include laminates having the following structures: the adhesive composition is cured to form a cured product, wherein the cured product has a structure in which a semiconductor wafer is stacked on a semiconductor wafer, a semiconductor chip is stacked on the semiconductor chip, and the semiconductor chip is stacked on the semiconductor wafer.

When the laminate is a three-dimensional laminate of semiconductor chips, the occurrence of cracking or peeling of the layer of the cured product containing the adhesive composition in the laminate causes damage to the wiring, and further causes failure of the device using the laminate, but the laminate of the present invention has a structure in which a plurality of base materials are strongly bonded by cured products excellent in adhesiveness to an adherend, adhesiveness, crack resistance, and heat resistance. Therefore, high reliability is achieved.

Therefore, a device (for example, a microprocessor, a semiconductor memory, an IC for power supply, an IC for communication, a semiconductor sensor, a MEMS, and a server, a workstation, an in-vehicle computer, a personal computer, a communication device, an imaging device, a semiconductor device such as an image display device, or the like including the same) including the laminate of the present invention also has high reliability.
