ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a semiconductor device having a positive photosensitive resin composition of high sensitivity, capable of giving a pattern of high residual film ratio and provided with a bump electrode.
BACKGROUND ART
In conventional semiconductor chips, an inorganic film (e.g. SiO
2
film or SiN film) is formed for circuit protection. Further, a polyimide resin is coated for relaxation of the physical damage given in the encapsulation step (e.g. transfer molding). Also, in recent years, in connection with the increase in the input terminals of a semiconductor chip, there has come to be employed flip chip mounting which comprises forming a bump on a bare chip and mounting the resulting chip on a substrate with the face directed down.
When, in the above semiconductor chip structure, bare chip mounting typified by flip chip mounting is employed, however, there has been a problem that the high water absorption of the polyimide resin incurs deterioration of dielectric strength and reduction in reliability, with the lapse of time.
There has also been a problem that the formation of polyimide pattern requires a long operational time and moreover is inferior in precision of processing.
The present invention aims at alleviating the above-mentioned operational problem in production of a flip chip and providing a semiconductor device superior in various reliabilities.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The present invention lies in a semiconductor device comprising:
(a) a polybenzoxazole resin film for chip protection, obtained by coating, on a circuit-formed chip, a positive photosensitive resin composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a polyamide represented by the following general formula (1) and 1 to 100 parts by weight of a photosensitive diazoquinone compound, and subjecting the coated composition to patterning and curing, and
(b) a bump electrode:
wherein X is a tetravalent aromatic group; Y is a bivalent aromatic group; Z is
(R
1
and R
2
are each a bivalent organic group, and R
3
and R
4
are each a monovalent organic group); E is a carboxyl aliphatic, alicyclic or aromatic group having at least one alkenyl or alkinyl group; and a and b are each a molar fraction, a+b=100 mole %, a=60.0 to 100.0 mole % and b=0 to 40.0 mole %; and n=2 to 500.
Preferably, the positive photosensitive resin composition contains a bisphenol compound represented by the following general formula (2) and a trisphenol compound represented by the following general formula (3) in a total amount of 1 to 30 parts by weight:
wherein R
