Diene/dienophile couples and thermosetting resin compositions having reworkability
View Patent ↗Thermosetting resin compositions are provided that are useful for mounting onto a circuit board semiconductor devices, such as chip size or chip scale packages (“CSPs”), ball grid arrays (“BGAs”), land grid arrays (“LGAs”) and the like (collectively, “subcomponents”), or semiconductor chips. Reaction products of the compositions are controllably reworkable when subjected to appropriate conditions.
1. A curable composition, reaction products of which degrade upon exposure to a temperature condition greater than a temperature condition used to cure the composition, comprising:
(a) a curable resin component;
(b) a curative and
(c) a diene/dienophile couple functionalized with at least two groups reactive with the curable resin component, wherein the diene of the diene/dienophile couple is selected from acyclic 1,3-diene, cyclopentadiene, cyclohexadiene, fulvene, pyrrole, naphthalene and anthracene and the dienophile of the diene/dienophile couple is based on a member selected from cyclopentadiene, maleimide, isomaleimide, citraconimide, itaconimide, maleate, crotonate, cinnamate, fumarate, (meth) acrylate, cyanoacrylate, benzoquinone, benzoquinone oxime, benzoquinone imine, naphthaquinone, alkylidene malonate, (meth)acrylamide, and alkyne containing electron withdrawing groups.
2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the curable resin component is a member selected from the group consisting of epoxy, episulfide, oxetane, thioxetane, oxazine, maleimide, itaconamide, nadimide, (meth)acrylate, (meth) acrylamide, and combinations thereof.
3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the two reactive groups are the same.
4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the two reactive groups are different.
5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the curative is selected from imidazoles, dicyandimide, carboxylic acids, anhydride, phenolic hardeners, amines, thiols, alcohols, and alkalines.
6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the diene/dienophile couple is selected from cyclopentadiene-cyclopentadiene, cyclopentadiene-maleimide, cyclopentadiene-maleate, cyclopentadiene-fumarate, cyclopentadiene-(meth)acrylate, cyclopentadiene-crotonate, cyclopentadiene-cinnamate, and cyclopentadiene-(meth)acrylamide.
7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the diene of the diene/dienophile couple is based upon a member selected from acyclic 1,3-diene, cyclopentadiene, cyclohexadiene, furan, fulvene, pyrrole, naphthalene and anthracene.
8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the dienophile of the diene/dienophile couple is based on a member selected from cyclopentadiene, maleimide, isomaleimide, citraconimide, itaconimide, maleate, crotonate, cinnamate, fumarate, (meth)acrylate, (meth)acrylamide, cyanoacrylate, benzoquinone, benzoquinone oxime, benzoquinone imine, naphthaquinone, alkylidene malonate, and alkyne containing electron withdrawing groups.
9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the diene of the diene/dienophile couple is based on cyclopentadiene.
10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the diene of the diene/dienophile couple is based on cyclopentadiene.
