Definitions
- the present invention relates to a polyimide precursor, a photosensitive resin composition containing the polyimide precursor, a method for producing a cured relief pattern obtained by curing the photosensitive resin composition, the cured relief pattern, and a semiconductor device and a display device having the cured relief pattern.
- polyimide resins which have excellent heat resistance, electrical properties, and mechanical properties, have been used as insulating materials for electronic components, and passivation films, surface protective films, and interlayer insulating films for semiconductor devices.
- these polyimide resins those provided in the form of photosensitive polyimide precursor compositions can easily form heat-resistant cured relief pattern coatings by applying the composition, exposing it to light, developing it, and subjecting it to a thermal imidization treatment by curing.
- photosensitive polyimide precursor compositions have the characteristic of enabling significant process shortening compared to conventional non-photosensitive polyimide materials.
- ELK extremely low- ⁇
- materials with a porous structure are used.
- a problem with such materials is that they have low mechanical strength.
- the ELK layer may be destroyed by the stress applied to it from the bumps on the semiconductor surface.
- Patent Document 1 describes a polyimide precursor with a specific structure that has a polymerizable group in the side chain to form a cured film with low stress.
- the method of mounting semiconductor devices on printed wiring boards has also changed in order to improve integration and functionality, as well as to reduce chip size.
- the conventional mounting method using metal pins and lead-tin eutectic solder has been replaced by structures in which a polyimide coating directly contacts the solder bumps, such as BGA (ball gripped array) and CSP (chip size packaging), which allow for higher density mounting.
- the coating is required to have high heat resistance and mechanical properties.
- one problem with the photosensitive polyimide resin used in the ELK protective layer is that it has poor adhesion to the aluminum that forms the semiconductor electrodes. As a result, delamination can occur between the polyimide resin and the substrate, which can reduce the reliability of the semiconductor device.
- the polyimide resin used in the ELK protective layer is composed of a linear structure skeleton in order to impart mechanical properties.
- Polyimide precursors containing such skeletons have high absorption at the exposure wavelength of i-line (365 nm), and the amount of light that reaches the bottom of the film during exposure is insufficient. As a result, the crosslinking efficiency of the polymer at the bottom of the film is low, making it difficult to obtain a pattern with a good shape.
- the present invention aims to provide a semiconductor device that can form a well-shaped pattern using a thick film, and that also provides excellent protection for the semiconductor chip and adhesion between the surface protective film and the interlayer insulating film in the rewiring layer, as well as a method for manufacturing the same.
- the present invention is as follows.

- ⁇ 7> 7 The photosensitive resin composition according to any one of items 1 to 6, wherein one of R 3 , R 4 and R z is a hydrogen atom.
