Embodiment
The radiation-curable adhesion agent composition of present embodiment contains straight or branched alkyl, hydroxyl, the straight chained alkyl of carbon number 14~18 and (methyl) acrylic acid polymer of the reactive carbon-to-carbon double bond of radioactive rays that has carbon number 2~8 at intramolecularly at least.Preferably side chain and/or the end at (methyl) acrylic acid polymer has these characteristic groups.Such side chain and/or terminal (methyl) acrylic acid polymer with above-mentioned characteristic group can be by behind the synthetic base polymers, base polymer and the radioactive rays reactive compounds reaction that contains the reactive carbon-to-carbon double bond of radioactive rays as the radioactive rays reactive ingredients are synthesized, and described base polymer is to make (methyl) acrylic monomer that comprises the straight or branched alkyl that contains carbon number 2~8 at least, hydroxyl (methyl) acrylic monomer and contain the comonomer composition copolymerization of (methyl) acrylic monomer of straight chained alkyl of carbon number 14~18 and the multipolymer that obtains.Need to prove that in this manual, (methyl) vinylformic acid is meant acrylic or methacrylic acid.
(methyl) acrylic monomer of the straight or branched alkyl that contains carbon number 2~8 of one of comonomer composition that uses during as synthetic base polymer specifically for example can be enumerated: (methyl) methyl acrylate, (methyl) ethyl propenoate, (methyl) propyl acrylate, (methyl) isopropyl acrylate, (methyl) butyl acrylate, (methyl) isobutyl acrylate, (methyl) sec-butyl acrylate, (methyl) tert-butyl acrylate, (methyl) vinylformic acid pentyl ester, (methyl) Ethyl acrylate, (methyl) vinylformic acid heptyl ester, (methyl) Octyl acrylate, (methyl) Isooctyl acrylate monomer, (methyl) ethyl acrylate etc.They can use separately, and also two or more kinds may be used.Wherein, be preferably selected from a kind in the group that constitutes by (methyl) Octyl acrylate of the straight or branched alkyl that contains carbon number 8, (methyl) Isooctyl acrylate monomer, (methyl) ethyl acrylate, more preferably (methyl) ethyl acrylate.
The content of (methyl) acrylic monomer of the straight or branched alkyl that contains carbon number 2~8 in the base polymer, preferably the comonomer composition total amount with respect to the formation base polymkeric substance is 30~80 quality %, more preferably 40~80 quality %.The content of (methyl) acrylic monomer of straight or branched alkyl that contains carbon number 2~8 is during less than 30 quality %, and the clinging power of (methyl) acrylic acid polymer trends towards reducing.On the other hand, the content of (methyl) acrylic monomer of straight or branched alkyl that contains carbon number 2~8 is during greater than 80 quality %, reduces as the content of hydroxyl (methyl) acrylic monomer of other comonomer composition.Therefore, needed hydroxyl value reduces when importing (methyl) acrylic acid polymer with radiation-curable compound reaction and with the reactive carbon-to-carbon double bond of radioactive rays, and solidified nature reduces.In addition, because the import volume of the straight chained alkyl of carbon number 14~18 also reduces therefore light separability variation.
In addition, base polymer contains hydroxyl (methyl) acrylic monomer as one of comonomer composition.By using hydroxyl (methyl) acrylic monomer, can make the hydroxyl of importing and the reaction of radioactive rays reactive compounds and obtain having (methyl) acrylic acid polymer of radioreaction carbon-to-carbon double bond at intramolecularly as one of comonomer composition.As such hydroxyl (methyl) acrylic monomer, specifically for example can enumerate: (methyl) 2-Hydroxy ethyl acrylate, (methyl) vinylformic acid-2-hydroxy propyl ester, (methyl) vinylformic acid-4-hydroxyl butyl ester, (methyl) vinylformic acid-own ester of 6-hydroxyl etc.They can use separately, and also two or more kinds may be used.
The content of the hydroxyl in the base polymer (methyl) acrylic monomer is 5~20 quality % with respect to the comonomer composition total amount of formation base polymkeric substance preferably, more preferably 5~10 quality %.The content of hydroxyl (methyl) acrylic monomer because the hydroxy number in the base polymer tails off, therefore, the import volume of the reactive carbon-to-carbon double bond of radioactive rays is increased, thereby solidified nature reduces after a little while.In addition, when increasing the import volume of the reactive carbon-to-carbon double bond of radioactive rays in order to make the solidified nature raising, use under the situation of linking agent in order to realize polymer to quantize, the hydroxyl that reacts with this linking agent tails off, the remained unreacted composition pollutes thereby paste takes place easily.On the other hand, the content of hydroxyl (methyl) acrylic monomer is during greater than 20 quality %, active atomic in the active face of semiconductor wafer etc. and hydroxyl bonding, promptly use radioactive rays to be cured and to reduce clinging power fully, its result, when light separability reduces, paste takes place on the cut off machine after peeling off easily pollute.
And then base polymer contains (methyl) acrylic monomer of the straight chained alkyl with carbon number 14~18 as one of comonomer composition.In order to obtain high clinging power, preferred (methyl) acrylic monomer of the short-chain alkyl that contains carbon number 2~8 that uses as the comonomer composition more, but in order to guarantee solidified nature as mentioned above, (methyl) acrylic acid polymer that uses in the adhering agent layer of cutting with adhesive film must have hydroxyl, therefore, the clinging power with active face after this hydroxyl can cause promptly using radioactive rays to be cured also uprises.Research according to inventor etc., find, (methyl) acrylic monomer of straight chained alkyl that use contains carbon number 14~18 is during as one of comonomer composition, even can obtain being formed on to guarantee sufficient clinging power before being cured with radioactive rays, use the machined object with active face also to have (methyl) acrylic acid polymer of the adhering agent layer of excellent light separability and low contaminative being cured the back with radioactive rays simultaneously.The intramolecularly that imports (methyl) acrylic acid polymer by the straight chained alkyl that this is had carbon number 14~18 obtains the reason of above-mentioned characteristic may not be clear, but be presumed as follows.At first, when making above-mentioned each (methyl) acrylic monomer copolymerization for synthetic base polymer, if be (methyl) acrylic monomer with straight chained alkyl of carbon number 14~18, then can not hinder the polyreaction of this (methyl) acrylic monomer and other comonomer compositions such as (methyl) acrylic monomer of straight or branched alkyl that contains carbon number 2~8 and hydroxyl (methyl) acrylic monomer largely, and contain (methyl) acrylic monomer of straight or branched alkyl of carbon number 2~8 and the polyreaction between hydroxyl (methyl) acrylic monomer, therefore, can suppress the adhesiveness such as reduction of clinging power are produced the growing amount of dysgenic low-molecular-weight monomer component and oligomer composition, obtain the high-molecular weight base polymer.Think that in addition if the straight chained alkyl of carbon number 14~18 is imported the intramolecularly of (methyl) acrylic acid polymer, then the hydrophobicity of (methyl) acrylic acid polymer improves, and also can suppress the clinging power reduction even tackiness agent contacts with rinse water.And then, when using linking agent,, can seriously not hinder the hydroxyl of (methyl) acrylic acid polymer and the reaction of linking agent if be the straight chained alkyl of carbon number 14~18 yet.Therefore, in cutting action, can obtain having the radiation-curable adhesion agent composition of high clinging power.On the other hand, the separability variation of the machined object such as semiconductor wafer with active face and (methyl) acrylic acid polymer is considered to that the bonding of the hydroxyl that had by (methyl) acrylic acid polymer and esteratic site isopolarity position and the active atomic on the surface that is exposed to active face causes.Therefore think, if (methyl) acrylic acid polymer is at intramolecular side chain or terminal straight chained alkyl with carbon number 14~18, then chain alkyl exists with state freely at intramolecularly, hydroxyl isopolarity position is sheltered by this alkyl, therefore, can suppress contacting of polar fraction and active atomic.Therefore, before being cured with radioactive rays, machined objects such as semiconductor wafer had high clinging power, in cutting action, even rinse water contacts with tackiness agent, the reduction of clinging power is also few, in picking up operation, by being cured with radioactive rays, the curing of (methyl) acrylic acid polymer is fully carried out, cut off machine and adhesive film such as stripping semiconductor element easily simultaneously, can reduce adhesion agent composition residual on cut off machine.Only use and contain carbon number less than (methyl) acrylic monomer of 14 alkyl during as the comonomer composition, may be owing to can not shelter hydroxyl isopolarity position fully, promptly use radioactive rays be cured the back clinging power reduction also insufficient, the property picked up reduction.On the other hand, carbon number tails off greater than the selection of the monomer self of (methyl) acrylic monomer of 18, and the synthetic change of high-molecular weight (methyl) acrylic acid polymer is difficult.(methyl) acrylic monomer as such straight chained alkyl that contains carbon number 14~18, preferred simple function (methyl) acrylic monomer specifically for example can be enumerated: (methyl) vinylformic acid tetradecyl ester ((methyl) vinylformic acid myristin), (methyl) vinylformic acid pentadecyl ester, (methyl) vinylformic acid cetyl ester, (methyl) vinylformic acid heptadecyl ester, (methyl) vinylformic acid stearyl etc.They can use separately, and also two or more kinds may be used.Wherein, more preferably (methyl) vinylformic acid stearyl.
The content of (methyl) acrylic monomer of the straight chained alkyl that contains carbon number 14~18 in the base polymer is 10~60 quality % with respect to the comonomer composition total amount of formation base polymkeric substance preferably, more preferably 10~50 quality %.The content of (methyl) acrylic monomer of straight chained alkyl that contains carbon number 14~18 is during less than 10 quality %, may be because sheltering of hydroxyl isopolarity position is insufficient, when adhesive film is used in machined objects such as the semiconductor wafer stickup cutting with active face, being cured the back clinging power with radioactive rays does not fully reduce, peeling off of cut off machine becomes difficult, the property picked up reduction.On the other hand, the content of (methyl) acrylic monomer of straight chained alkyl that contains carbon number 14~18 is during greater than 60 quality %, and the polyreaction when base polymer is synthetic can not be carried out smoothly, is difficult to obtain high-molecular weight (methyl) acrylic acid polymer, therefore, paste taking place easily pollutes.Thus, so far also do not find: the alkyl number and the structure thereof that are conceived to the comonomer composition of formation base polymkeric substance, use contains makes (methyl) acrylic monomer of comprising a large amount of straight chained alkyls with carbon number 14~18 base polymer as the comonomer composition, react the adhesion agent composition that obtains (methyl) acrylic acid polymer with the radioactive rays reactive compounds, the inhibition that contacts the clinging power reduction that causes of adhering agent layer before concrete research is cured with radioactive rays and rinse water, have the light separability after being cured of machined objects such as semiconductor wafer of active face and the example of low contaminative relatively with radioactive rays.
