NOVEL POLYIMIDESILOXANES AND
METHODS FOR THEIR PREPARATION AND USE

A class of polymers known as polyimides has become known for its combination of good heat stability and high upper use tempera~
tures, as measured by glass transition temperature. A particularly useful type of such polyimides is known as polyimidesiloxanes.
Because of their combination of properties, polyimidesiloxanes . ~. .
have been used in electronic applications, particularly in micro~
electronic components 1n the 1ntegrated c1rcu1t 1ndustry.
: Because many of the previously known poly1midesiloxanes are -~ lnsoluble or d1fficultly soluble in solvents, when used 1n the ;-microelectronics industry, there is a great need for polyimide-~s~ ~ siloxanes having improved solub11ity characteristics, as well as a -better balance of heat resistance and upper use temperature.

The chemistry for making polyimides has been well-known since about 1960. A structurally simple polyimide can be prepared by reacting a diamine with a dianhydride. `

r ~ The first step, or the polyaddition reaction, generates polyamide acids which are hydrolytically unstable even at room temperature. The second step, or the imidization reaction, produces the stable polyimides desired for various applications.
~`~- Polyimidesiloxanes can be prepared by reactions employing ~;
siloxane diamines or siloxane dianhydrides with organic comonomers.
Polyimidesiloxanes can also be prepared from siloxane diamines and siloxane dianhydrides without an organic comonomer.
The first polyimidesiloxane was prepared by reacting pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) with 1,3-bis-(aminopropyl)-1,1,3,3-.,. ~
tetramethyl disiloxane in 1966 (see V. H. Kuckertz, Macromol. Chem.
98, 1966, pp. 101-108). This polyimidesiloxane is a crystalline material and cannot be cast into flexible films from solvent.
r, ~ 2 ~,, =. ~

Polyimidesiloxanes derived from reactions of benzophenone tetra-carboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) and CY,w-diamino organo-polysiloxanes were disclosed by General Electric in 1967 in U.S. Patent No.
3,325,450. Polyimidesiloxanes containing an CX,w-diamino organo-polysiloxane and a diether dianhydride (DEDA) have also been disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,847,867. ~;~
A11 these BTDA and DEDA containing polyimidesiloxanes are amorphous materials. They have a glass transition temperature of no more than 100C and, therefore, have very limited upper use temperatures, despite the excellent thermal stability of these polymers up to about 200C. ; ~M~
Polyimidesiloxanes containing both organic and siloxane ;
monomers have been reported for PMDA containing copolymers (see Japan Kokai Tokkyo Koho 83/7473 and 83/13631); for BTDA containing copolymers (U.S. Patent Nos. 3,553,282 and 4,404,350) and for ~ diether dianhydride containing copolymers (U.S. Patent No.
s~ 3,847,867). These PMDA containing polyimidesiloxanes are not solu~
ble in any solvent. The BTDA containing polyimidesiloxanes are only ~?-~ soluble in high boiling or tox;c solvents such as l-methyl-2-pyrrol-~ 20 idinone, commonly known as N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP), phenol or ~ cresol, and the like. The diether dianhydride containing polyimide-- siloxane, in addjtion, are also soluble in chlorinated solvents such ~ as dichlorobenzene and dichloromethane. Since these phenol and -s? chlorinated compounds are both corrosive and highly toxic, the polyimidesiloxanes have limited application in coating applications, ;~
~- especially in heat sensitive electronic devices. This is also due --~
- to the fact that a NMP soluble polyimidesiloxane normally has to be ;
,:,, ''5' ,'.'; ~
' ~
' ' 1331 3~7 heated to 350C for at least half an hour to remove all the residual solvent in a film having a micron-thickness film.
Only a few polyimidesiloxanes are soluble, even in high boiling and relatively toxic solvents, such as 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP), despite the fact that most of their polyamide acids are soluble. The usage of polyamide acids in coating applications has many drawbacks. First, a subsequent imidization reaction on ; substrates produces water. Therefore, it can only be used in very thin film coatings and where void-free property is not critical to performance. Second, the removal of high boiling, polar solvents, such as NMP, requires temperatures as high as 350C for about 30 minutes even for films of a m;cron thickness. This drying process is not only energy intensive, but also unacceptable to some heat sensitive electronic devices or substrates. In addition, the polyamide acids solution has to be stored at refrigeration temperature ( < 4C) and it still has a very short shelf life (about ~ 3 months). Finally, only the fully imidized polyimidesiloxanes are -~ thermally stable for melt processing such as extrusion and injection ~ molding. A soluble polyimidesiloxane can be fully imidized at - 20 temperatures of about 160 to 170C in a solvent~ whereas imidization ;~
for insoluble polyimidesiloxanes in the solid state may require temperatures 50$ above,theiir glass transition temperatures which can be as high as 200 to 250C. Shaping not fully imidized - ~ polyimidesiloxanes by the melt processing method produces voids in ~ 25 the products and often is not desirable.

incorporation of these dianhydrides may alter only slightly thesolubility of the resulting polyimidesiloxanes in NMP or diglyme, these modified polyimidesiloxanes may become insoluble in solvents, such as MEK or THF. This limits their applications where a very low -~:

-~ 15 The employment of an CX,w-diaminosiloxane is important for - achieving the desired solubility in diglyme, THF or MEK in the present invention. The siloxane diamine also provides the flexi-bility or resi~liqnce ofithe polyimidesiloxanes at low tempçratures, especially when the m is an integer of more than about 5, or preferably more than about 7. When the m is more than about 50, the ;~

system (one polar and one non-polar solvent) for copolymerization may have to be employed. In general, the employment of the CX,w-diaminosiloxane and CX,w-dianhydride siloxane are interchange- ;
able in the present invention. However, for making polyimide-siloxanes of high glass transition temperature, the mole percent of the mixture of dianhydrides in the total dianhydride shoùld be maximized; and therefore, it is more desirable to employ the combination of the organic dianhydride with an organic diamine and an CX,w-diaminosiloxane. ;~

R is a tri-radical of the foregoing type. Suitable , --- tri-radicals include -CH ' , ~33~.387 ~:

It is also well-known to those skilled in the art that when the : C6H5- or CF3CH2-CH2- group is used in the siloxane block, in ;~:
replacement of the -CH3 group, the solubility of resulting ~-; 5~ polyimidesiloxanes in chlor1nated solvents, such as CH2Cl2 and ether ~;
solvent such as diglyme~and~THF will increase. In addition, the ~,S~
pol~yimidesiloxane copolymers consist of phenylated siloxane block, or fl~uorinated siloxane block~will also have higher thermal stability.~ This is due to the fact that the least thermally stable ~ ~
'''?~ ' 10 ~ , groups in the po,lyimides,iloxanes is the -CH3 grfoup on the si~oxane ~ --block. Accordingly, w1thout showing specific examples one can expect that polyimidesiloxanes of the present invention can be - further improved by incorporating the C6H5 group or CF3CH2 group s- into their siloxane~blocks in order to improve their solubility and thermal stability. 22 ~"'~ ~ ~ :',.;~
,".

-When various dianhydrides are employed, their solubility in various solvents, glass transition temperatures and thermal stability changes depending on the chemical nature of these co-monomers. For instance, when a siloxane dianhydride is incorporated in the presence of a dianhydride, the solubility of the polymer increases, while the glass transition temperature and thermal stability will be lowered. Therefore, depending on the requirements for applications, the incorporation of siloxane dianhydride may become unfavorable. On the other hand, when an organic dianhydride such as PMDA is added in small proportions of ~-less than 5 mole percent, the resulting polyimidesiloxanes still has ~7 the desirable solubility in, for instance, NMP. The incorporation of PMDA can increase the glass transition temperature and thermal stability of the resulting polyimidesiloxanes, and, therefore, can provide more favorable products for extrusion or injection molding applications. However, one may also find that even with a small amount of PMDA in the polyimidesiloxanes, the resulting copolymers .~ .

- organic dianhydrides has become well-known, the preparation of ~ -~ polyimidesiloxanes in the presence of the siloxane comonomers may ~ ~--~ 25 sometimes require special techniques. For instance, when the repeating unit m, of the siloxane monomer is larger ?'~ :

(i.e., > 20 to 40), it may be desirable to use a dual solvent system: i.e., a solvent system consisting not only of a polar solvent, but also a less polar solvent. (See, for instance, McGrath et al, Polymer Preprints, 27 (2), 1986, pp. 403). It is also known that in the practice of making soluble polyimides, if a polyimide is soluble in a given solvent, in which the polyam;de acid is not soluble, one can prepare the polyimide directly in a one step polymerization process, that is, by a simultaneous imidization and polycondensation process, referred to as the one-step process. This -procedure can be advantageous, especially when a desirable polymer solution for coating applications has to be made out of a given solvent in which the polyamide acids are not soluble. The problem with the simultaneous imidization and polycondensation is that the ~ ~;
depolymerization of the polyamide acid in the presence of the water which is produced during the imidization step, can be very severe.
Theoretically, the depolymerization can become an irreversible process, since it produces a dicarboxylic acid and an amino compound. The carboxylic acid reacts with amino compounds at much higher temperatures as compared to the almost instantaneous reaction ~--of the dianhydrides with the amino compounds at room temperature.
The depolymenization of polyamide acids can become very severe at high temperaturss. This oneTstep process often~produces ! ' ' polyimidesiloxanes with much lower molecular weight as compared to those produced in a good solvent, in which the polyamide acid and - 25 the imidized polymers are both soluble, and one employs a two-step process. The two-step process employs a low temperature 133~.387 polycondensation step which generates very high molecular weight polyamide acid and then a very fast heating step to imidize and remove water generated from imidization.
The two-step process produces higher molecular weight materials which have higher thermal stability and mechanical strength, -especially higher elongation at break. The polycondensation temperature for the two-step process should be below 60C, preferably below room temperature. The imidization can be carried out at temperatures from 90C to 180C, or the refluxing temperature of the solvents. When the boiling temperature of the desirable solvent for imidization is below 160C, the use of dehydrating agents and/or a base catalyst is desirable. A suitable dehydrating agent is acetic anhydride. The catalyst is a tertiary amine, such as pyridine. When the acetic anhydride is employed, lower imidiza-tion temperatures can be employed to complete the imidization. In ~, ~- addition, an azeotropic agent with water can also be added to the - reactor. The use of an azeotropic agent such as toluene can facili-tate the removal of water presented in the reactor and minimize the depolymerization of the polyamide acids. When an azeotropic agent ;~ 20 is employed, a continuous recovery of fresh azeotropic agent can be achieved by using also a Dean Stark trap under the condenser.
The degree cf polycondensation is importan~ for obtaining good thermal and mechanical properties in making polyimidesiloxanes. The ~ reaction time for making high molecular weight polyimidesiloxanes is -~ 25 normally several times longer than that-required for making ,, ~

~.
polyimides due to the fact that the reactivity of the ~x~w-diamino or dianhydride siloxanes is normally lower than organic monomers. ;
In general, the high molecular weight siloxane monomers react much -slower than the organic monomers in a polar solvent. Accordingly, one can also expect that the microstructure of the polyimidesiloxane depends not only on the molar ratio of the organic to siloxane monomers (or the composition of the monomers), but also on the additional sequence of these monomers during polycondensation. For ~ --instance, when a high molecular weight CY,w-diamino siloxane is employed, one sometimes finds that it is advantageous to first react the organic dianhydride without the presence of the organic diamine.
This procedure not only can overcome the need of using a dual solvent system, but also can result in a much more uniform and controllable polyimide block size and distribution. Compared to a ~-`
~ 15 polyimidesiloxane with identical chemical make-up, but prepared with r ~ a different addition sequence (i.e., add all monomer together into a solvent at once) the polyimidesiloxane with more uniform and con-trolled imide size and distribution have a more soluble characteris-~ tic toward siloxane-like solvent or non-polar solvent. On the other h,:~,' 20 hand, polyimidesiloxanes~have the identical number average molecular ~- weight of imide-block but having a broad molecular weight distribu;
tion will be less solubl,e~in the diglyme or THF. ! ! ~
Depending on the property requirements for various ~;
- ;~ applications, one can therefore design polyimidesiloxanes by their ~ 25 composition, but also control their microstructures through monomer -~ addition sequence for one's advantage. ;

The solvents that can be used for the polymerization of the present invention are the phenol solvents; N,N-dialkylated carboxylamide solvents and monoalkylated or dialkylated ether type solvents. The examples of phenol solvents are phenol, o-cresol, m-cresol, o-chlorophenol, m-chlorophenol, p-fluorophenol, 2,4,6-tribromophenol; examples of N,N-dialkylated carboxylamide solvents are N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, NMP;
ether type solvents are tetrahydrofuran (THF), diglyme or triglyme.
Other solvents, such as ~-butyrolactone, sulfolane, dimethylsulfox-ide and chlorinated benzenes such as p-dichloro benzene which are commonly mentioned in various polyimide patents can also be used.
- Polyimidesiloxane can also be prepared in a me1t polymerization process; especially when the glass transition temperature of the imide block is lower than say about 200C; or a large proportion (> 25%) of the siloxane comonomers is employed. In practice, the melt polycondensation can be done in an extruder in which imidiza-` tion can be achieved using a vented zone situated close to the "~
outlet nozzle.
To achieve high molecular weight polyimidesiloxanes, the total moles of dianhydride component(s) should equal the total moles of diamine component(s). To reduce the molecular weight an excess of , ~: .
-~ dianhydride, diamine components or small amounts of monofunctiqnal compounds can be employed.

siloxane diamine employed, assume that n moles of organic diamine is ~- employed. Then n + 1 moles of organic dianhydride is employed.

When the siloxane monomer is a dianhydride, for every 1 mole of ~h siloxane dianhydride employed, assume that n moles of organic dianhydride is employed. Then n + 1 moles of organic diamine must be employed.
In the foregoing cases, n has a value of greater than 0.01 but no more than 40, preferably 20. -~
When 0.01 ~ n ~ 0.1, the polyimidesiloxane exhibit elastomeric ~ -or rubber properties and are useful for potting, encapsulation, and -sealing applications. Especially, a cross-linking elastomeric polyimidesiloxane will have great value in the above-mentioned applications. When 0.1~ n~ 10, polyimidesiloxanes with thermoplastic elastomeric properties are obtained. These materials --~
are useful for wire, cable, injection molding and protective coating ipplications. When 10~ n~ 40, very high strength and rigid thermoplastics are produced which are useful for molding and coating applications.

; ; The Curable Polyimidesiloxanes - The soluble polyimidesiloxanes described above have many va1uable properties and uses. However, l1mitations are found in their applications, especially in areas where higher chemical or -~ creep resistance are desirable or even critical. For instance, most ~- ` of the polyimidesiloxanes show limited hydraulic fiuid or jèt fue resistance when their siloxane content lS over 30 to 40X. Even though this weakness can be largely reduced by incorporating ~` 25 fluorinated compound into their backbone structure~ in particular, "~ ' ~ - 28 -~ ~ .

into their siloxane blocks, it is still more desirable to convert these fluorinated polyimidesiloxanes into thermosets in order to achieve higher solvent and creep resistance. In general, when a cross-linkable polyimidesiloxane carries an acrylic functionally, it can be cured by either thermal or photo-method. A photosensitive or photocurable polyimidesiloxane is especially valuable for patterning applications in microchips or integrated circuit industries.
Furthermore~ these novel curable polyimidesiloxanes, as well as the soluble polyimidesiloxanes, can also find applications in passiva-tion layer, alpha particle barrier, electron beam patterning, ion implant mask or interlayer dielectric in electronics and micro-electronic industries.
The polyimidesiloxanes of the invention can be made curable by the inclusion of reactants that have functionalities that are -~
- ~ 15 capable of being cross-linked, or that have intermediate -functionalities that can be suitably modified with cross-linkable moieties after formation of the polymer. The required functionalities can be incorporated into the polymer of the 1 , invention by use of suitable diamines and/or siloxane compounds.
The diamine compounds have the characteristic described for the soluble polymers of a diamine that provide assymetrical structure in the polyimidesiloxane ch,ai!ns. The diamines further halve the follpw-ing general formula:

Suitable metals are sodium and silver. The typical examples of these compounds are, for instance, 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid and 3,5-di-aminophenol, and the like.
The functionalized siloxane diamines or dianhydrides have the following general structure: ;

The Process For Making Curable Polyimidesiloxanes ~ The procedures for making soluble polyimidesiloxanes are ~--~ generally followed.
The comonomers are generally copolymerized in an appropriate solvent such as NMP or diglyme. The fully imidized, polyimide-,: ..

acetylenic, ethylenic or acrylic-bear;ng compound to provide the final products desired for this invention. The grafting reaction is preferably conducted in a non-reactive solvent, preferably in diglyme, THF or MEK. Since there are many different functional groups that can be selecjted for the functionalized polyimidesiloxane, the grafting reaction desired for this invention has to be varied accordingly. For instance, when a carboxylic or hydroxyl-containing polyimidesiloxane is first prepared, the ~, "

in which n is 0 to 2 results in an acrylate-bearing polyimidesiloxane.

- When a -OH or epoxy group i~ present in the poly~midesiloxane, on the other hand, the grafting can be achieved via a condensation reaction. For instance, the reactions of the isocyanate-bearing acrylate or an acrylic acid or methylacrylic acid with the hydroxyl or epoxy group on the polyimidesiloxane can result in an acrylic-bearing polyimidesiloxane desired for the present invention.

When an acetylenic-bearing compound also bears a carboxylic, an epoxy or isocyanato functionality, it is clear that the compounds - can be grafted onto a polyimidesiloxane which carries an -OH or, a carboxylic group, respectively. ~ -When an ethylenic group is present in the siloxane block of the polyimidesiloxane, it cajn be used as such, and further be cured thermally via free radical cross-linking reactions or can be further changed into polyimidesiloxanes which carry either an acrylic or an acetylinic group. The grafting reaction of this kind is difficult to achieve, however, due to the lack of appropriate chemicals.

To prepare the functionalized polyimidesiloxanes with a functional group presented in the imide block, it is preferred to ~
start with an OH or -COOH-bearing diamino compound. On the other -hand, this kind of siloxane monomer is usually not readily available. The incorporation of epoxy, silicone hydride or sil;cone hydroxyl group can be achieved via equillibration of theCX,w-diamino or CX,w- dianhydride siloxane with cyclic silicone epoxy, silicone hydride or silicone hydroxy compounds. In any event, it is preferred to graft the acrylic or ethylenic or acetylenic group rather than using an acrylic, ethylenic or acetylenic diamino or dianhydride compound for making the desired polyimidesiloxan~e. This is to avoid thermally cross-linking reactions of these functionalities during imidization of the polyimidesiloxane at high temperatures (about 160 tc 170C/2 hrs in solvent). A grafting ~" ~` : ~
~ 15 reaction of a fully imidized polyimidesiloxane with the above ., ~ ,, described functionalities can be, in general, carried out at much lower temperatures.

To avoid the need for isolation of the reaction product from solvent, it is desirable to conduct the grafting reaction in the solvent which is acceptable for coating operations. The desirable solvents of these kinds are solvents with low flammability and/or toxici~y, such as diglyme or MEK. The latter has been widely employed in coating industries due to its low boiling temperature.
