DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] It is to be understood that a person skilled in the art can envisage other various embodiments according to teachings in this description, and can make modifications thereto without departing from the scope or spirit of the present disclosure. Therefore, the following embodiments are not restrictive in meaning.

[0028] All figures for denoting characteristic dimensions, quantities and physicochemical properties used in this description and claims are to be understood as modified by a term about in all situations, unless indicated otherwise. Therefore, unless stated conversely, parameters in numerical values listed in the above description and the claims are all approximate values, and a person skilled in the art is capable of seeking to obtain desired properties by taking advantage of contents of the teachings disclosed herein, and changing these approximate values appropriately. The use of a numerical range represented by end points includes all figures within the range and any range within the range, for example, 1 to 5 includes 1, 1.1, 1.3, 1.5, 2, 2.75, 3, 3.80, 4, 5, etc.

[0029] In recent years, in order to enable a packaged semiconductor device to have a reduced size, weight, and thickness, a quad flat no-lead package (QFN) process has been gradually developed. A lead frame of a package having such a structure does not protrude from a packaging resin, so that the semiconductor device can have a reduced size, weight, and thickness. However, the inventors of the present application have found that one or more of the following problems often occur during actual operation of QFN: displacement of a chip, namely chip tilt, may occur in step 3 (a wire bonding procedure). Packaging material flash may occur in packaging step 5, that is, a packaging material (for example, an epoxy resin) flows into a gap between a lead frame and an adhesive tape. In peeling step 6, it is found that adhesive residues of the adhesive tape remain on the separated lead frame and on the cured packaging material (for example, an epoxy resin), and it is difficult to remove the adhesive residues. The lead frame sometimes warps, resulting in that subsequent processes cannot be performed.

[0030] The inventors of the present application have found that the above problems are all related to performance of the adhesive tape used in the QFN process. Therefore, an objective of the present invention is to provide an adhesive tape. The adhesive tape can effectively avoid problems such as chip tilt, packaging material flash, contamination caused by an adhesive residue, lead frame warpage, and the like during packaging of a semiconductor device.

[0031] Specifically, according to an aspect of the present invention, an adhesive tape is provided, and includes: [0032] a base film, having a coefficient of thermal expansion within a range of 4.5 to 15 ppm/? C.; and [0033] an adhesive layer, including polyether ether ketone having a crystallinity equal to or less than 10% and an elastic modulus between 10 and 100 MPa at 150-300? C.

[0034] According to a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the adhesive tape includes a base film and an adhesive layer. The adhesion layer is adhered to the lead frame in the QFN process, and the base film is used to provide necessary support for the adhesive tape. The base film is preferably a heat-resistant base film to withstand a high temperature (for example, 180 to 240? C.) that needs to be applied during the wire bonding procedure. Preferably, the base film is a polyimide film. Polyimide is an excellent high temperature resistant organic high polymer material, and can withstand high temperatures greater than or equal to 400? C. More preferably, a glass transition temperature of the polyimide film is greater than or equal to 300? C. In addition, a coefficient of thermal expansion of the base film needs to be within a range of 4.5 to 15 ppm/? C.

[0035] The inventors of the present application have found that lead frame warpage occurring in actual operation of QFN is related to a material of which the base film is made. When the coefficient of thermal expansion of the base film is greater than 15 ppm/? C., the base film deforms obviously during high-temperature treatment of the QFN process, resulting in warpage of the lead frame. This is very unfavorable for a subsequent machining process. When the coefficient of thermal expansion of the base film is less than 4.5 ppm/? C., it is possible that adhesion between the base film and the adhesive layer adhered thereto fails during the high-temperature treatment of the QFN process, and therefore the base film and the adhesive layer separate from each other.

[0036] In order to provide effective support for the adhesive tape, preferably, the base film has a thickness within a range of 5 to 50 ?m, preferably 10 to 40 ?m, and more preferably 15 to 25 ?m.

[0037] Commercially available examples of the base film that can be used in the present invention include: polyimide (PI) film GK 100A provided by SKC Company in Republic of Korea, the film having a coefficient of thermal expansion of 4.5 ppm/? C. and a thickness of 25 ?m; and polyimide (PI) film GF100 provided by SKC Company in Republic of Korea, the film having a coefficient of thermal expansion of 15 ppm/? C. and a thickness of 25 ?m.

[0038] The adhesive layer according to the technical solution of the present invention is adhered to the lead frame in the QFN process. The adhesive layer includes polyether ether ketone having a crystallinity equal to or less than 10% and an elastic modulus between 10 and 100 MPa at 150-300? C. The inventors of the present application have found that problems such as chip tilt, packaging material flash, contamination caused by an adhesive residue, and the like occurring in the QFN process are closely related to material selection for the adhesive layer. When the crystallinity of the polyether ether ketone used is greater than 10%, adhesion force of the polyether ether ketone at high temperatures is greatly reduced, and no effective adhesion to the lead frame can be achieved. In addition, when the elastic in modulus of polyether ether ketone at 150-300? C. is greater than 100 MPa, the adhesion force of polyether ether ketone at high temperatures is greatly reduced, and no effective adhesion to the lead frame can be achieved. When the elastic modulus of the polyether ether ketone at 150-300? C. is less than 10 MPa, the adhesive force between polyether ether ketone and the lead frame is overly large, and the adhesive tape cannot be peeled off from the assembly in step 6.

[0039] In order to achieve effective adhesion to the lead frame, preferably, the adhesive layer has a thickness within a range of 6 to 50 ?m, preferably 8 to 25 ?m, and more preferably 9 to 12 ?m.

[0040] Preferably, the adhesive layer does not include any epoxy resin reactive group. According to the disclosure of the present application, the term epoxy resin reactive group refers to a group reactive with groups present in an epoxy resin. The inventors of the present application have found that when the adhesive layer includes a group (for example, carboxyl group, acid anhydride group, amine group, amide group, carbamate group, isocyanate group, epoxy group, hydroxyl group, or thiol group) reactive with an epoxy resin, in the high-temperature treatment process of the QFN process, the group (for example, carboxyl group, acid anhydride group, amine group, amide group, carbamate group, isocyanate group, epoxy group, hydroxyl group, or thiol group) in the adhesive layer reactive with an epoxy resin reacts with an epoxy group in a commonly used packaging material (for example, an epoxy resin) or a curing agent and an accelerator thereof, resulting in that serious residues of the adhesive tape are present on the lead frame and the cured packaging material (for example, an epoxy resin) in peeling step 6. Therefore, preferably, the adhesive layer does not include any group (for example, carboxyl group, acid anhydride group, amine group, amide group, carbamate group, isocyanate group, epoxy group, hydroxyl group, or thiol group) reactive with an epoxy resin.

[0041] Commercially available examples of the adhesive layer that can be used in the present invention include: polyether ether ketone film Aptive 2000 provided by Victrex Company, the film having a thickness of 9 ?m, a crystallinity of 2%, and an elastic modulus of 10 to 100 MPa at 150-300? C., and not including any group (for example, carboxyl group, acid anhydride group, amine group, amide group, carbamate group, isocyanate group, epoxy group, hydroxyl group, or thiol group) reactive with an epoxy resin.

[0042] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the adhesive tape includes a two-layer structure, namely, a base film and an adhesive layer bonded to each other. No particular limitation is set on a method for preparing the adhesive tape having the structure including the base film and the adhesive layer bonded to each other. For example, the base film and the adhesive layer may be bonded to each other by means of hot pressing.

[0043] FIG. 2 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of an adhesive tape 11 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the adhesive tape 11 includes a base film 12 and an adhesive layer 13 bonded to each other. For specific details of the adhesive tape 11, the base film 12, and the adhesive layer 13, please refer to the above disclosure.

[0044] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the adhesive tape further includes an adhesion agent layer located between the base film and the adhesive layer. Preferably, the adhesive tape sequentially includes the base film, the adhesion agent layer, and the adhesive layer contacting each other. The function of the adhesion agent layer is to adhere the base film and the adhesive layer to each other. No particular limitation is set on a specific type of an adhesion agent that can be used to form the adhesion agent layer, and selection can be made from various adhesion agents commonly used in the field of packaging of semiconductor devices. Preferably, the adhesion agent may be a pressure-sensitive adhesion agent or a semi-structural adhesion agent. More preferably, the adhesion agent layer includes one or more of an acrylate-based adhesion agent or a polyurethane-based adhesion agent.

[0045] In order to achieve good adhesion to the base film and the adhesive layer, preferably, the adhesion agent layer has a thickness within a range of 2 to 8 ?m, preferably 3 to 6 ?m, and more preferably 4 to 5 ?m.

[0046] The adhesion agent can be acquired commercially, or can be prepared by using a synthetic method known in the art. Examples of the pressure-sensitive adhesive that can be used in the present invention include pressure-sensitive adhesive AR-5 produced by 3M Company.

[0047] Therefore, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the adhesive tape includes a three-layer structure, namely, a base film, an adhesion agent layer, and an adhesive layer sequentially bonded to each other. No particular limitation is set on a method for preparing the adhesive tape having the structure including the base film, the adhesion agent layer, and the adhesive layer sequentially bonded to each other. For example, the adhesive tape can be prepared by preparing a base film, coating a surface of the base film with an adhesion agent to prepare an adhesion agent layer, and laminating an adhesive layer on the prepared adhesion agent layer.

[0048] FIG. 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of an adhesive tape 11 according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the adhesive tape 11 includes a base film 12, an adhesion agent layer 14, and an adhesive layer 13 bonded to each other. For specific details of the base film 12, the adhesion agent layer 14, and the adhesive layer 13, please refer to the above disclosure.

C., and a thickness of 12 ?m

Test Method

Test on Coefficient of Thermal Expansion

[0068] An instrument TMA Q400 TA Co. was used to test a coefficient of thermal expansion of the base film to be used, a tension mode being used, initial force being 0.05 N. and a heating rate being 3?C/min.

Test on Crystallinity

[0069] A crystallinity of the polyether ether ketone film to be used was tested by using the following method. Specifically, an instrument TA Discovery differential scanning calorimeter was used. 5-20 milligrams of a sample were placed into a special aluminum plate and was pressed, and scanning was performed from room temperature to 400? C., wherein a heating rate was 10? C./min. A method for calculating the crystallinity was subtracting an integral value of a cold crystallization peak from an integral value of a melting peak and dividing a subtraction result by a theoretical enthalpy value 130 J/g corresponding to a crystallinity of 100%.

Test on Elastic Modulus

[0070] An elastic modulus of the polyether ether ketone film to be used was tested by means of dynamic thermomechanical analysis (DMA). Specifically, an instrument DMA Q800 TA Co. was used to measure an elastic modulus from room temperature to 300 degrees Celsius, wherein a tension mode was used, a frequency being 10 Hz, and a heating rate being 3?C/min.

Chip Tilt Test

[0071] The following method was used to perform chip tilt tests on the adhesive tapes acquired in the following examples and comparative examples. Specifically, at a temperature of 230? C. and at a pressure of 0.6 MPa, the adhesive tape was bonded to a side of a lead frame (ASM model QFN528). A K&S IConn automatic wire bonder was used to wire-bond 1.0 palladium copper leads from an island end to a finger end of the lead frame at 250? C., wherein the total number thereof was 200. Then, 100 leads were randomly selected for a vertical thrust test. If all thrusts were greater than or equal to 12 g, then it was indicated that the wire bonding was successful. If some leads had a thrust less than 12 g, then it was indicated that the leads were not fixedly bonded and that the same might be disconnected due to large impact force in a subsequent plastic packaging process. The number of leads having a thrust less than 12 g was recorded. If the number was 0, then the test indicated a success. If the number was greater than 0, then the test indicated a failure.

Flash Performance Test

[0072] The following method was used to perform flash performance tests on the adhesive tapes acquired in the following examples and comparative examples. Specifically, the adhesive tape was bonded to a side of a copper plate. Then, a tensile machine Instron 5942 was used to measure 180? peeling force between the adhesive tape and the copper plate at room temperature. Subsequently, the sample was baked at 230? C. for 45 minutes. Then, the tensile machine Instron 5942 was used to measure 180? peeling force between the adhesive tape and the copper plate after baking. If the measured peeling force at room temperature and peeling force after baking were both greater than or equal to 0.02 N/mm, then packaging material flash could be effectively avoided.

Adhesive Residue Performance Test

[0073] The following method was used to perform adhesive residue performance tests on the adhesive tapes acquired in the following examples and comparative examples. Specifically, the adhesive tape was placed, was caused to face upwards, and was treated by using plasma (Diener plasma surface treatment instrument Tetra120, 300 watt, treatment duration being 600 s). Then, the plasma-treated adhesive tape and an epoxy prepreg (Mitsubishi Gas Chemical BT resin) were bonded to each other at 200? ? C. and at 0.6 MPa. Subsequently, baking was performed at 180? C. for 1 hour, so that the epoxy prepreg was fully cured. Then, the adhesive tape was manually peeled off from a cured sheet. A microscope was used to observe a side of the cured sheet from which the adhesive tape had been peeled off so as to determine whether an adhesive residue was present on the cured sheet. If no adhesive residue was present, then none was indicated, and if a large number of residuals were present, then many was indicated.

Warpage Performance Test

[0074] The following method was used to perform warpage performance tests on the adhesive tapes acquired in the following examples and comparative examples. Specifically, the tape was flatly bonded to a hollow copper frame of 6 cm?16 cm?200 ?m at 230? ? C. and at 0.6 MPa for 30 seconds, wherein a frame edge had a width of 5 mm. Then, a resulting sample was baked at 230? C. for 45 minutes, and was subsequently cooled to room temperature. A height of a warp on a long side edge of the copper frame was measured. If the height of the warp was greater than or equal to 3 mm, then it was indicated that the warp is overly large.

Preparation Example 1

[0075] Polyurethane adhesion agent PU-B was prepared according to the method recorded in Chinese application CN 202010611843.0. Specifically, 1.00 g of propylene glycol 1-monomethyl ether 2-acetate (Shanghai Sinopharm Company), 1.58 g of butyl acetate (BA, BASF Company), 0.54 g of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK, Shanghai Sinopharm Company), 0.98 g of xylene (Shanghai Sinopharm Company), 1.77 g of XCPA-110 (polyester diol, Asahikawa Chemical Company), 1.61 g of XCPA-195 (polyester diol, Asahikawa Chemical Company), 0.40 g of CAPA-3031 (aliphatic polycaprolactone triol, Perstorp UK Ltd.), 0.15 g of MEK solution including 1 wt % of dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL, Shanghai Sinopharm Company), and 0.30 g of acetylacetone were added into a 30 mL plastic bottle. Then, the plastic bottle was capped tightly and placed in a high-speed mixer ARE-310 (commercially available from Thinky Company in Tokyo, Japan). Mixing was performed at 2000 revolutions per minute for two minutes, and then defoaming was performed at 2200 revolutions per minute for two minutes to acquire a homogeneous first solution. Then, 5.22 g of N3800 (hexamethylene diisocyanate trimer, Covestro Company) and 0.24 g of TS-100 (silica particles, Evonik Company) were added into the first solution, and stirring was performed in a high-speed disperser SFJ-400 (commercially available from Shanghai Modern Environmental Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. in Shanghai, China) at 2500 revolutions per minute for five minutes to acquire a homogeneous second solution (namely, a polyurethane adhesion agent solution).

Example 1

[0076] At a temperature of 90? C., a side of polyimide film GF100 (having a coefficient of thermal expansion of 15 ppm/? C. and a thickness of 25 ?m) was coated with a polyurethane adhesion agent PU-B to form an adhesion agent layer having a thickness of 4 ?m. Then, a polyether ether ketone film Aptive 2000 (having a crystallinity of 2%, an elastic modulus of 10-100 MPa at 150-300? C., and a thickness of 9 ?m) was adhered to the adhesion agent layer so as to prepare an adhesive tape 1.

[0077] Related properties of the prepared adhesive tape 1 were tested by using the chip tilt test method, the flash performance test method, the adhesive residue performance test method, and the warpage performance test method described in detail above. Specific results are shown in Table 2.

Examples 2 and 3 and Comparative Examples 1-4

[0078] Adhesive tapes were prepared in a manner similar to that in Example 1, and the difference was that respective specific materials of the base film, the adhesion agent layer, and the adhesive layer were changed as shown in Table 1 provided below so as to acquire adhesive tapes 2 and 3 and comparative adhesive tapes 1-4.

[0079] Related properties of the prepared adhesive tapes 2 and 3 and comparative adhesive tapes 1-4 were tested by using the chip tilt test method, the flash performance test method, the adhesive residue performance test method, and the warpage performance test method described in detail above. Specific results are shown in Table 2.

[0080] It can be seen from the results shown in Table 2 provided above that the adhesive tape prepared according to the technical solution of the present invention has excellent properties in chip tilt performance, flash performance, adhesive residue performance, and warpage performance.

[0081] It can be seen from the results of Comparative Example 1 that an overly large coefficient of thermal expansion of the base film results in overly large warp of the lead frame, and this is very unfavorable to a subsequent machining process.

[0082] It can be seen from the results of Comparative Example 2 that using the elastomer pressure-sensitive adhesive CSA7001X having an elastic modulus less than 1 MPa at a high temperature instead of the adhesion agent layer and the adhesive layer results in a high failure rate of wire bonding (chip tilt). In addition, the elastomer pressure-sensitive adhesive CSA7001X includes an epoxy reactive group, thus resulting in serious adhesive residues.

[0083] It can be seen from the results of Comparative Example 3 that using the polyether ether ketone film Aptive 1000 having a crystallinity greater than 20% results in that the adhesive layer has overly poor stickiness at a high temperature and therefore cannot be adhered to a substrate.

[0084] It can be seen from the results of Comparative Example 4 that when a thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE) film having a structure very similar to that of polyether ether ketone is used, because of a melting point thereof being 220? C., a crystallinity thereof being 0%, and an elastic modulus thereof decreasing sharply at a high temperature, adhesion between the adhesive tape and the substrate is overly high and therefore the adhesive tape and the substrate cannot be separated from each other.
