Description

保護膜形成用複合シートComposite sheet for protective film formation
 本発明は、半導体チップの裏面に保護膜を形成するための保護膜形成用複合シートに関する。
 本願は、2016年3月4日に日本に出願された、特願2016-042691号に基づき優先権主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
The present invention relates to a composite sheet for forming a protective film for forming a protective film on the back surface of a semiconductor chip.
This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-042691 filed in Japan on March 4, 2016, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
 近年、いわゆるフェースダウン(face down)方式と呼ばれる実装法を用いた半導体装置の製造が行われている。フェースダウン方式においては、回路面上にバンプ等の電極を有する半導体チップが用いられ、前記電極が基板と接合される。このため、チップの回路面とは反対側の裏面は剥き出しとなることがある。 In recent years, semiconductor devices have been manufactured using a mounting method called a so-called face down method. In the face-down method, a semiconductor chip having electrodes such as bumps on a circuit surface is used, and the electrodes are bonded to a substrate. For this reason, the back surface opposite to the circuit surface of the chip may be exposed.
 この剥き出しとなったチップの裏面には、有機材料からなる樹脂膜が保護膜として形成され、保護膜付き半導体チップとして半導体装置に取り込まれることがある。保護膜は、ダイシング工程やパッケージングの後に、チップにおいてクラックが発生するのを防止するために利用される。 A resin film made of an organic material is formed as a protective film on the exposed back surface of the chip and may be taken into the semiconductor device as a semiconductor chip with a protective film. The protective film is used to prevent cracks from occurring in the chip after the dicing process or packaging.
 このような保護膜の形成には、支持シート上に保護膜形成用フィルムを備えてなる保護膜形成用複合シートが用いられる。前記支持シートとしては、例えば、樹脂製の基材や、基材及び粘着剤層等の積層構造体が用いられ、前記基材の保護膜形成用フィルム又は粘着剤層等の積層面が表面処理されることもある。前記保護膜形成用複合シートは、保護膜形成用フィルムが保護膜形成能を有しているのに加え、支持シートがダイシングシートとして機能可能であり、保護膜形成用フィルムとダイシングシートとが一体化されたものとすることができる。 For the formation of such a protective film, a protective film-forming composite sheet comprising a protective film-forming film on a support sheet is used. As the support sheet, for example, a resin base material or a laminated structure such as a base material and an adhesive layer is used, and a laminated surface such as a protective film forming film or an adhesive layer of the base material is surface-treated. Sometimes it is done. In the protective film-forming composite sheet, in addition to the protective film-forming film having a protective film-forming ability, the support sheet can function as a dicing sheet, and the protective film-forming film and the dicing sheet are integrated. It can be made.
 支持シートに用いられる加工前の前記基材において、通常、その片面又は両面は凹凸形状を有している。これは、このような凹凸形状を有していないと、基材を巻き取ってロールとしたときに、基材同士の接触面が貼り付いてブロッキングしてしまい、使用が困難になるためである。基材同士の接触面のうち、少なくとも一方が凹凸形状を有していれば、接触面の面積が小さくなるために、ブロッキングが抑制される。 In the base material before processing used for the support sheet, one or both sides thereof usually have an uneven shape. This is because if the substrate does not have such an uneven shape, the contact surface between the substrates adheres and blocks when the substrate is wound up to form a roll, making it difficult to use. . If at least one of the contact surfaces of the substrates has an uneven shape, the area of the contact surface is reduced, so that blocking is suppressed.
 このような凹凸面を有する基材を用いた従来の保護膜形成用複合シートは、典型的には、図4に示すような構成を有する。図4は、従来の保護膜形成用複合シートの一例を模式的に示す断面図である。なお、以降の説明で用いる図面においては、例えば、保護膜形成用複合シートの特徴を分かり易くするために、便宜上、要部となる部分を拡大して示している場合があり、各構成要素の寸法比率等が実際と同じであるとは限らない。 A conventional composite sheet for forming a protective film using a substrate having such an uneven surface typically has a structure as shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing an example of a conventional composite sheet for forming a protective film. Note that, in the drawings used in the following description, for example, in order to make the characteristics of the protective film-forming composite sheet easier to understand, there are cases where the main part is shown enlarged for convenience. The dimensional ratio and the like are not necessarily the same as actual.
 ここに示す従来の保護膜形成用複合シート9は、支持シート90上に保護膜形成用フィルム13を備えてなるものであり、支持シート90は基材91及び粘着剤層12の積層構造体からなり、粘着剤層12上に保護膜形成用フィルム13を備えている。保護膜形成用フィルム13は硬化によって保護膜となる。保護膜形成用複合シート9は、さらに保護膜形成用フィルム13上に剥離フィルム15を備えており、剥離フィルム15は、保護膜形成用複合シート9の使用時に取り除かれる。保護膜形成用複合シート9において、支持シート90の保護膜形成用フィルム13を備えている面(表面)90aとは反対側の面(裏面)90b、すなわち、基材91の粘着剤層12を備えている面(表面)91aとは反対側の面(裏面)91bは、凹凸面となっている。保護膜形成用複合シート9は、このように、基材91の裏面91bが凹凸面となっていることにより、巻き取ってロールとしたときに、基材91の裏面91bと剥離フィルム15の露出面(表面)15aとの貼り付き、すなわちブロッキングが抑制される。 The conventional protective film-forming composite sheet 9 shown here comprises a protective film-forming film 13 on a support sheet 90, and the support sheet 90 is made of a laminated structure of a base material 91 and an adhesive layer 12. The protective film forming film 13 is provided on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12. The protective film-forming film 13 becomes a protective film by curing. The protective film-forming composite sheet 9 further includes a release film 15 on the protective film-forming film 13, and the release film 15 is removed when the protective film-forming composite sheet 9 is used. In the protective film forming composite sheet 9, the surface (back surface) 90 b opposite to the surface (front surface) 90 a provided with the protective film forming film 13 of the support sheet 90, that is, the adhesive layer 12 of the substrate 91 is formed. A surface (back surface) 91b opposite to the provided surface (front surface) 91a is an uneven surface. The composite sheet 9 for forming the protective film is thus exposed to the back surface 91b of the base material 91 and the release film 15 when the back surface 91b of the base material 91 has a concavo-convex surface and is taken up into a roll. Sticking with the surface (surface) 15a, that is, blocking is suppressed.
 一方で、保護膜形成用複合シートは、保護膜形成用フィルムから形成された保護膜の支持シート側の面に、レーザー光の照射によって印字(以下、「レーザー印字」と称することがある)が行われることがある。レーザー印字は、支持シートの保護膜が形成されている側とは反対側から照射される。このとき、例えば、保護膜形成用複合シート9の場合には、基材91の裏面91b側から支持シート90を通して、保護膜にレーザー光を照射することになるが、基材91の裏面91bが凹凸面であるため、ここで光が乱反射してしまい、レーザー印字が不鮮明になるという問題点があった。 On the other hand, the composite sheet for protective film formation is printed on the surface of the protective film formed from the protective film-forming film on the support sheet side by irradiation with laser light (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “laser printing”). Sometimes done. Laser printing is applied from the opposite side of the support sheet on which the protective film is formed. At this time, for example, in the case of the composite sheet 9 for forming the protective film, the protective film is irradiated with laser light from the back surface 91b side of the base material 91 through the support sheet 90. Since it is an uneven surface, there is a problem that light is irregularly reflected here and laser printing becomes unclear.
 このような光の乱反射を防止できる保護膜形成用複合シートとしては、図5に示すような構成を有する保護膜形成用複合シート8が知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
 図5は、従来の保護膜形成用複合シートの他の例を模式的に示す断面図である。
As a protective sheet-forming composite sheet capable of preventing such irregular reflection of light, a protective film-forming composite sheet 8 having a structure as shown in FIG. 5 is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing another example of a conventional composite sheet for forming a protective film.
 ここに示す従来の保護膜形成用複合シート8は、保護膜形成用複合シート9と同様に、支持シート80上に保護膜形成用フィルム13を備えてなるものであり、支持シート80は基材81及び粘着剤層12の積層構造体からなり、粘着剤層12上に保護膜形成用フィルム13を備えている。ただし、支持シート80において、基材81の凹凸面の配置は、支持シート90における基材91とは反対となっている。すなわち、保護膜形成用複合シート8において、基材81の粘着剤層12を備えている面(表面)81aが凹凸面となっており、基材81の表面81aとは反対側の面(裏面)81bが平滑面となっている。支持シート80における基材81、保護膜形成用フィルム13及び剥離フィルム15は、それぞれ支持シート90における基材91、保護膜形成用フィルム13及び剥離フィルム15と同様のものである。 The conventional protective film-forming composite sheet 8 shown here comprises a protective film-forming film 13 on a support sheet 80, like the protective film-forming composite sheet 9, and the support sheet 80 is a base material. 81 and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12, and a protective film-forming film 13 is provided on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12. However, in the support sheet 80, the arrangement of the uneven surface of the base material 81 is opposite to that of the base material 91 in the support sheet 90. That is, in the composite sheet 8 for forming the protective film, the surface (front surface) 81a of the base material 81 provided with the adhesive layer 12 is an uneven surface, and the surface (back surface) opposite to the surface 81a of the base material 81. ) 81b is a smooth surface. The base material 81, the protective film forming film 13 and the release film 15 in the support sheet 80 are the same as the base material 91, the protective film forming film 13 and the release film 15 in the support sheet 90, respectively.
 しかし、保護膜形成用複合シート8の場合には、基材81の裏面81b、すなわち、支持シート80の粘着剤層12を備えている面(表面)80aとは反対側の面(裏面)80bが平滑面となっており、保護膜形成用複合シート8を巻き取ってロールとしたときに、基材81の裏面81bと剥離フィルム15の露出面(表面)15aとの貼り付き、すなわちブロッキングが抑制できない。ブロッキングが生じると、保護膜形成用複合シート8にシワが生じたり、保護膜形成用複合シート8をロールから繰り出すときに、剥離フィルム15が保護膜形成用フィルム13から剥離してしまう。さらに、基材81の表面81a上においては、凹凸の形状を解消するように、粘着剤層12は十分な厚さを有することが必要となる。これが不十分であると、基材81の凹凸形状を反映して、保護膜形成用フィルム13の支持シート80側の面(裏面)13bが凹凸形状を有するようになり、このような保護膜形成用フィルム13から形成された保護膜の支持シート側の面に施されたレーザー印字が不鮮明になってしまうという問題点があった。 However, in the case of the composite sheet 8 for forming a protective film, the back surface 81b of the substrate 81, that is, the surface (back surface) 80b opposite to the surface (front surface) 80a provided with the adhesive layer 12 of the support sheet 80. Is a smooth surface, and when the protective film-forming composite sheet 8 is wound up into a roll, the back surface 81b of the substrate 81 and the exposed surface (front surface) 15a of the release film 15 are attached, that is, blocking occurs. It cannot be suppressed. When blocking occurs, wrinkles occur in the protective film-forming composite sheet 8, or the release film 15 peels off from the protective film-forming film 13 when the protective film-forming composite sheet 8 is unwound from the roll. Furthermore, on the surface 81a of the base material 81, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 needs to have a sufficient thickness so as to eliminate the uneven shape. If this is insufficient, the surface (back surface) 13b on the support sheet 80 side of the protective film forming film 13 will have an uneven shape reflecting the uneven shape of the base material 81, and such a protective film formation will be performed. There was a problem that the laser printing applied to the surface on the support sheet side of the protective film formed from the protective film 13 became unclear.

 図1は、本発明の一の実施態様に係る保護膜形成用複合シートの一実施形態を模式的に示す断面図である。
 ここに示す保護膜形成用複合シート1は、支持シート10の一方の表面10a上に保護膜形成用フィルム13を備え、支持シート10の他方の表面(裏面)10b上にコーティング層14を備えてなる。さらに、支持シート10は、基材11及び粘着剤層12が積層されてなるものであり、基材11の一方の表面11a上に粘着剤層12を備え、基材11の他方の表面(裏面)11b上にコーティング層14を備えており、粘着剤層12上に保護膜形成用フィルム13を備える。また、保護膜形成用複合シート1は、さらに保護膜形成用フィルム13上に剥離フィルム15を備えており、剥離フィルム15は保護膜形成用複合シート1の使用時に取り除かれる。保護膜形成用フィルム13は硬化によって保護膜となる。
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing one embodiment of a composite sheet for forming a protective film according to one embodiment of the present invention.
The protective film-forming composite sheet 1 shown here includes a protective film-forming film 13 on one surface 10 a of the support sheet 10, and a coating layer 14 on the other surface (back surface) 10 b of the support sheet 10. Become. Furthermore, the support sheet 10 is formed by laminating a base material 11 and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12, and includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 on one surface 11 a of the base material 11, and the other surface (back surface) of the base material 11. ) A coating layer 14 is provided on 11b, and a protective film forming film 13 is provided on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12. The protective film-forming composite sheet 1 further includes a release film 15 on the protective film-forming film 13, and the release film 15 is removed when the protective film-forming composite sheet 1 is used. The protective film-forming film 13 becomes a protective film by curing.
 保護膜形成用複合シート1において、粘着剤層12は基材11の前記表面11a上に積層され、保護膜形成用フィルム13は粘着剤層12の表面12aの一部に積層されている。そして、粘着剤層12の表面12aのうち、保護膜形成用フィルム13が積層されていない露出面と、保護膜形成用フィルム13の表面13a(上面及び側面)の上に、剥離フィルム15が積層されている。
 なお、剥離フィルム15と、粘着剤層12の表面12a又は保護膜形成用フィルム13の表面13aと、の間には、空隙部が存在していてもよい。例えば、保護膜形成用フィルム13の側面や、粘着剤層12の表面12aのうち、保護膜形成用フィルム13の近傍領域は、前記空隙部が生じ易い。
In the protective film-forming composite sheet 1, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 is laminated on the surface 11 a of the substrate 11, and the protective film-forming film 13 is laminated on a part of the surface 12 a of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12. And the peeling film 15 is laminated | stacked on the surface 13a (upper surface and side surface) of the film 13 for protective film formation among the exposed surface in which the film 13 for protective film formation is not laminated | stacked among the surfaces 12a of the adhesive layer 12. Has been.
Note that a gap may exist between the release film 15 and the surface 12 a of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 or the surface 13 a of the protective film forming film 13. For example, in the side surface of the protective film-forming film 13 and the surface 12 a of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12, the voids are likely to occur in the vicinity of the protective film-forming film 13.
 保護膜形成用複合シート1において、コーティング層14の支持シート10(基材11)と接触している面(表面)14aとは反対側の面(裏面)14bの方向から測定したヘイズは、47%以下となっている。これにより、保護膜に対して鮮明にレーザー印字を行うことができる。
 なお、本発明において「ヘイズ」とは、特に断りのない限り、JIS K 7136に従って測定して得られた値を意味する。
In the protective film-forming composite sheet 1, the haze measured from the direction of the surface (back surface) 14b opposite to the surface (front surface) 14a in contact with the support sheet 10 (base material 11) of the coating layer 14 is 47. % Or less. Thereby, clear laser printing can be performed on the protective film.
In the present invention, “haze” means a value obtained by measurement according to JIS K 7136 unless otherwise specified.
 また、保護膜形成用複合シート1は、コーティング層14を備えていることにより、巻き取ってロールとした場合であっても、基材11の前記裏面11bと剥離フィルム15の露出面(表面)15aとの貼り付き、すなわちブロッキングが抑制される。 Further, the protective film-forming composite sheet 1 includes the coating layer 14, so that the back surface 11 b of the base material 11 and the exposed surface (front surface) of the release film 15, even when wound up to form a roll. Sticking with 15a, that is, blocking is suppressed.
 保護膜形成用複合シート1において、支持シート10の保護膜形成用フィルム13を備えている面(表面)10aとは反対側の面(裏面)10b、すなわち、基材11の粘着剤層12を備えている面(表面)11aとは反対側の面(裏面)11bは、ここでは、平滑度が低い凹凸面となっているが、平滑面であってもよい。保護膜形成用フィルム13から形成された保護膜(図示略)にレーザー印字を行う場合には、保護膜の支持シート10側の面に、コーティング層14側からレーザー光を照射する。このとき、支持シート10の前記裏面10b(基材11の前記裏面11b)が凹凸面及び平滑面のいずれであっても、コーティング層14がこの面を被覆しているため、コーティング層14の支持シート10(基材11)と接触している面(表面)14aとは反対側の面(裏面)14bの平滑度が高く、その表面粗さRaが小さいことにより、コーティング層14でのレーザー光の乱反射が抑制され、保護膜に対して鮮明にレーザー印字を行うことができる。 In the protective film forming composite sheet 1, the surface (back surface) 10 b opposite to the surface (front surface) 10 a provided with the protective film forming film 13 of the support sheet 10, that is, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 of the substrate 11. The surface (back surface) 11b opposite to the provided surface (front surface) 11a is an uneven surface with low smoothness here, but may be a smooth surface. When laser printing is performed on a protective film (not shown) formed from the protective film forming film 13, the surface of the protective film on the support sheet 10 side is irradiated with laser light from the coating layer 14 side. At this time, even if the back surface 10b of the support sheet 10 (the back surface 11b of the base material 11) is either an uneven surface or a smooth surface, the coating layer 14 covers this surface, so that the support of the coating layer 14 is supported. The surface (rear surface) 14b opposite to the surface (front surface) 14a in contact with the sheet 10 (base material 11) has a high smoothness and a small surface roughness Ra, so that the laser light in the coating layer 14 is obtained. Is suppressed, and laser printing can be clearly performed on the protective film.
 なお、本明細書において、「表面粗さRa」とは、特に断りのない限り、JIS B0601:2001で規定される、いわゆる算術平均粗さを意味する。 In this specification, “surface roughness Ra” means a so-called arithmetic average roughness defined by JIS B0601: 2001 unless otherwise specified.
 保護膜形成用複合シート1において、基材11の表面11aは、ここでは平滑面となっているが、平滑度が低い凹凸面であってもよい。ただし、後述するように、基材11の表面11aと粘着剤層との間における空隙部の発生を抑制し、保護膜形成用複合シート1を好ましい特性のものとすることがより容易である点から、基材11の表面11aは平滑面であることが好ましい。 In the composite sheet 1 for forming a protective film, the surface 11a of the substrate 11 is a smooth surface here, but may be an uneven surface with low smoothness. However, as will be described later, it is easier to suppress the generation of voids between the surface 11a of the base material 11 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and to make the composite sheet 1 for forming a protective film have favorable characteristics. Therefore, the surface 11a of the substrate 11 is preferably a smooth surface.
 図1に示す保護膜形成用複合シート1は、剥離フィルム15が取り除かれた状態で、保護膜形成用フィルム13の表面13aに半導体ウエハ(図示略)の裏面が貼付され、さらに、粘着剤層12の表面12aのうち、保護膜形成用フィルム13が積層されていない露出面が、リングフレーム等の治具に貼付されて、使用される。 The composite sheet 1 for forming a protective film shown in FIG. 1 has a back surface of a semiconductor wafer (not shown) attached to the front surface 13a of the protective film forming film 13 with the release film 15 removed. Among the 12 surfaces 12a, the exposed surface on which the protective film forming film 13 is not laminated is attached to a jig such as a ring frame and used.
 図2は、本発明の一の態様に係る保護膜形成用複合シートの他の実施形態を模式的に示す断面図である。なお、図2において、図1に示すものと同じ要素には、図1の場合と同じ符号を付し、その詳細な説明は省略する。これは図2以降の図においても同様である。
 ここに示す保護膜形成用複合シート2は、粘着剤層12の表面12aの全面に保護膜形成用フィルム23が積層され、保護膜形成用フィルム23の表面23aの一部に治具用接着剤層16が積層され、保護膜形成用フィルム23の表面23aのうち、治具用接着剤層16が積層されていない露出面と、治具用接着剤層16の表面16a(上面及び側面)の上に、剥離フィルム15が積層されている点以外は、図1に示す保護膜形成用複合シート1と同じものである。
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing another embodiment of the composite sheet for forming a protective film according to one aspect of the present invention. 2, the same elements as those shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1, and detailed description thereof is omitted. This also applies to the drawings after FIG.
The protective film forming composite sheet 2 shown here has a protective film forming film 23 laminated on the entire surface 12 a of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12, and a jig adhesive on a part of the surface 23 a of the protective film forming film 23. Layer 16 is laminated, of the surface 23a of the protective film forming film 23, the exposed surface on which the jig adhesive layer 16 is not laminated, and the surface 16a (upper surface and side surface) of the jig adhesive layer 16 It is the same as the composite sheet 1 for forming a protective film shown in FIG. 1 except that a release film 15 is laminated thereon.
 なお、剥離フィルム15と、保護膜形成用フィルム23の表面23a又は治具用接着剤層16の表面16aと、の間には、空隙部が存在していてもよい。例えば、治具用接着剤層16の側面や、保護膜形成用フィルム23の表面23aのうち、治具用接着剤層16の近傍領域は、前記空隙部が生じ易い。 Note that a gap may exist between the release film 15 and the surface 23a of the protective film-forming film 23 or the surface 16a of the jig adhesive layer 16. For example, in the side surface of the jig adhesive layer 16 and the surface 23 a of the protective film forming film 23, the gap portion is likely to occur in the vicinity of the jig adhesive layer 16.
 保護膜形成用複合シート2においても、保護膜形成用複合シート1の場合と同様に、コーティング層14の支持シート10(基材11)と接触している面(表面)14aとは反対側の面(裏面)14bの方向から測定したヘイズは、47%以下となっている。したがって、保護膜形成用フィルム23から形成された保護膜に対して、鮮明にレーザー印字を行うことができる。 Also in the protective film-forming composite sheet 2, as in the case of the protective film-forming composite sheet 1, the surface of the coating layer 14 on the side opposite to the surface (surface) 14 a in contact with the support sheet 10 (base material 11). The haze measured from the direction of the surface (back surface) 14b is 47% or less. Therefore, clear laser printing can be performed on the protective film formed from the protective film-forming film 23.
 また、保護膜形成用複合シート2は、コーティング層14を備えていることにより、巻き取ってロールとした場合であっても、ブロッキングが抑制される。 In addition, the protective film-forming composite sheet 2 is provided with the coating layer 14, so that blocking is suppressed even when the protective film-forming composite sheet 2 is wound up into a roll.
 図2に示す保護膜形成用複合シート2は、剥離フィルム15が取り除かれた状態で、保護膜形成用フィルム23の表面23aに半導体ウエハ(図示略)の裏面が貼付され、さらに、治具用接着剤層16の表面16aのうち上面が、リングフレーム等の治具に貼付されて、使用される。 The protective film-forming composite sheet 2 shown in FIG. 2 has a semiconductor wafer (not shown) attached to the front surface 23a of the protective film-forming film 23 with the release film 15 removed. The upper surface of the surface 16a of the adhesive layer 16 is used by being attached to a jig such as a ring frame.

 支持シートは、1層(単層)からなるものでもよいし、2層以上の複数層からなるものでもよい。支持シートが複数層からなる場合、これら複数層は、互いに同一でも異なっていてもよい。すなわち、すべての層が同一であってもよいし、すべての層が異なっていてもよく、一部の層のみが同一であってもよい。そして、複数層が互いに異なる場合、これら複数層の組み合わせは特に限定されない。ここで、複数層が互いに異なるとは、各層の材質及び厚さの少なくとも一方が互いに異なることを意味する。 The support sheet may be composed of one layer (single layer) or may be composed of two or more layers. When the support sheet is composed of a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers may be the same as or different from each other. That is, all the layers may be the same, all the layers may be different, or only some of the layers may be the same. And when several layers differ from each other, the combination of these several layers is not specifically limited. Here, the plurality of layers being different from each other means that at least one of the material and the thickness of each layer is different from each other.
 支持シートの厚さは、目的に応じて適宜選択すればよいが、前記保護膜形成用複合シートに十分な可撓性を付与でき、半導体ウエハに対する貼付性が良好となる点から、好ましくは10~500μm、より好ましくは20~350μm、特に好ましくは30~200μmである。
 ここで、「支持シートの厚さ」とは、支持シートを構成する各層の合計の厚さを意味し、例えば、基材及び粘着剤層が積層されてなる支持シートの場合には、基材の厚さ及び粘着剤層の厚さの合計値を意味する。
 なお、支持シートは、少なくとも一方の面が凹凸面となり得るが、支持シートの厚さは、支持シートのこの凹凸面における凸部を含む部位では、この凸部の先端を一方の起点として算出すればよい。

For example, in the case of a support sheet in which a base material and an adhesive layer are laminated, the base material And the total thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.
Note that, at least one surface of the support sheet can be an uneven surface, but the thickness of the support sheet is calculated with the tip of the convex portion as one starting point at a portion including the convex portion on the uneven surface of the support sheet. That's fine.

 基材表面の前記表面粗さRaは、例えば、基材の成形条件や、表面処理条件等により、調節できる。

An epoxy resin having an unsaturated hydrocarbon group is more compatible with an acrylic resin than an epoxy resin having no unsaturated hydrocarbon group.

○コーティング層
 前記コーティング層としては、例えば、エネルギー線の照射によって硬化されて得られた硬化物を含有するものが好ましく、エネルギー線の照射により重合する、エネルギー線重合性化合物を含有するコーティング組成物を硬化させて得られたものが好ましい。そして、前記エネルギー線重合性化合物は、(メタ)アクリル酸又はその誘導体であることが好ましい。
-Coating layer As said coating layer, what contains the hardened | cured material obtained by hardening | curing by irradiation of an energy ray is preferable, for example, The coating composition containing the energy ray polymeric compound polymerized by irradiation of an energy ray Those obtained by curing are preferred. And it is preferable that the said energy-beam polymeric compound is (meth) acrylic acid or its derivative (s).
 前記保護膜形成用複合シートは、ダイシングして得られた半導体チップの裏面を保護するための保護膜を形成するという機能だけでなく、例えば、半導体ウエハをダイシングするときのダイシングシートとしての機能も兼ね備えたものとすることができる。そして、半導体ウエハのダイシング時には、保護膜形成用複合シートが貼付された半導体ウエハをエキスパンドすることがあり、その場合、保護膜形成用複合シートは、適度な柔軟性を有することが求められる。保護膜形成用複合シートに適度な柔軟性を付与するためには、例えば、前記支持シートを構成する材質として、ポリプロピレン等の柔軟な樹脂が選択されることがある。一方で、このような柔軟な樹脂等は、加熱によって変形してしまったり、皺が入ってしまうことがある。したがって、コーティング層は、原料となる組成物を熱硬化ではなく、エネルギー線の照射による硬化で形成できるものが望ましいといえる。 The protective sheet-forming composite sheet has not only a function of forming a protective film for protecting the back surface of the semiconductor chip obtained by dicing, but also a function as a dicing sheet when dicing a semiconductor wafer, for example. It can be combined. When the semiconductor wafer is diced, the semiconductor wafer to which the protective film-forming composite sheet is attached may be expanded. In that case, the protective film-forming composite sheet is required to have appropriate flexibility. In order to impart appropriate flexibility to the composite sheet for forming a protective film, for example, a flexible resin such as polypropylene may be selected as a material constituting the support sheet. On the other hand, such a flexible resin may be deformed by heating or may have wrinkles. Therefore, it can be said that the coating layer is preferably one that can be formed by curing the composition as a raw material not by heat curing but by irradiation with energy rays.
 前記コーティング層の厚さは、特に限定されないが、0.1~20μmであることが好ましく、0.4~15μmであることがより好ましく、0.8~10μmであることが特に好ましい。コーティング層の厚さが前記下限値以上であることで、コーティング層の前記支持シートと接触している側とは反対側の表面における表面粗さRaの低減がより容易となり、さらに、前記保護膜形成用複合シートのブロッキングを抑制する効果がより高くなる。また、コーティング層の厚さが前記上限値以下であることで、前記保護膜形成用複合シートが貼付された後の半導体ウエハの状態を、前記シートを介して赤外線カメラ等によって検査するときに、より鮮明な検査画像を取得でき、さらに、エキスパンドを伴う半導体ウエハのダイシングをより容易に行うことができる。
 なお、コーティング層は、上述のように支持シートの凹凸面を被覆することで、支持シートとの接触面が凹凸面となり得るが、コーティング層の厚さは、コーティング層のこの凹凸面における凸部を含む部位では、この凸部の先端を一方の起点として算出すればよい。
The thickness of the coating layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.1 to 20 μm, more preferably 0.4 to 15 μm, and particularly preferably 0.8 to 10 μm. When the thickness of the coating layer is equal to or more than the lower limit value, it becomes easier to reduce the surface roughness Ra on the surface of the coating layer opposite to the side in contact with the support sheet. The effect of suppressing blocking of the forming composite sheet is further increased. In addition, when the thickness of the coating layer is equal to or less than the upper limit value, the state of the semiconductor wafer after the protective film-forming composite sheet is pasted is examined by an infrared camera or the like through the sheet. A clearer inspection image can be acquired, and further, dicing of the semiconductor wafer with expansion can be performed more easily.
The coating layer covers the uneven surface of the support sheet as described above, so that the contact surface with the support sheet can be an uneven surface, but the thickness of the coating layer is the convex portion on the uneven surface of the coating layer. In a region including, the tip of the convex portion may be calculated as one starting point.
 前記コーティング層の前記支持シートと接触している側とは反対側の表面における表面粗さRaは、0.5μm以下であることが好ましく、0.4μm以下であることがより好ましく、0.3μm以下であることがさらに好ましく、0.2μm以下であることが特に好ましい。コーティング層の前記表面粗さRaが前記上限値以下であることで、保護膜に対してより鮮明にレーザー印字を行うことができる。
 また、前記コーティング層の前記支持シートと接触している側とは反対側の表面における表面粗さRaの下限値は、特に限定されないが、例えば、0.005μm等とすることが可能である。
 コーティング層の前記表面粗さRaは、例えば、支持シートのコーティング層を備えている側の表面の表面粗さRa、コーティング層の厚さ、コーティング層を形成するための後述するコーティング組成物の塗工方法等により、調節できる。
The surface roughness Ra on the surface of the coating layer opposite to the side in contact with the support sheet is preferably 0.5 μm or less, more preferably 0.4 μm or less, and 0.3 μm. More preferably, it is more preferably 0.2 μm or less. When the surface roughness Ra of the coating layer is not more than the upper limit value, laser printing can be performed more clearly on the protective film.
Moreover, the lower limit value of the surface roughness Ra on the surface of the coating layer on the side opposite to the side in contact with the support sheet is not particularly limited, but may be 0.005 μm, for example.
The surface roughness Ra of the coating layer is, for example, the surface roughness Ra of the surface of the support sheet provided with the coating layer, the thickness of the coating layer, and the application of a coating composition to be described later for forming the coating layer. It can be adjusted by the construction method.
 前記コーティング層は、[コーティング層の厚さ(μm)]/[支持シートのコーティング層を備えている側の表面の表面粗さRa(μm)]の値が、0.1~30であることが好ましく、0.3~20であることがより好ましく、0.5~10であることが特に好ましい。前記値が前記下限値以上であることで、コーティング層の前記支持シートと接触している側とは反対側の表面における表面粗さRaがより小さくなって、保護膜に対してより鮮明にレーザー印字を行うことができ、さらに、前記保護膜形成用複合シートのブロッキングを抑制する効果がより高くなる。また、前記値が前記上限値以下であることで、コーティング層の厚さが過剰となることが避けられる。 The coating layer has a value of [thickness of coating layer (μm)] / [surface roughness Ra (μm) of the surface of the support sheet provided with the coating layer] of 0.1 to 30 Is more preferable, 0.3 to 20 is more preferable, and 0.5 to 10 is particularly preferable. When the value is equal to or greater than the lower limit value, the surface roughness Ra on the surface of the coating layer opposite to the side in contact with the support sheet becomes smaller, and the laser is more clearly formed on the protective film. Printing can be performed, and the effect of suppressing blocking of the protective film-forming composite sheet is further enhanced. Moreover, it is avoided that the thickness of a coating layer becomes excessive because the said value is below the said upper limit.
 前記コーティング層の前記支持シートと接触している側(前記支持シート側)とは反対側の表面のグロス値は、32~95であることが好ましく、40~90であることがより好ましく、45~85であることが特に好ましい。コーティング層の前記グロス値がこのような範囲であることで、保護膜に対してより鮮明にレーザー印字を行うことができる。
 さらに、コーティング層の前記グロス値が前記下限値以上であることで、前記保護膜形成用複合シートが貼付された後の半導体ウエハの状態を、前記シートを介して赤外線カメラ等によって検査するときに、より鮮明な検査画像を取得できる。そして、コーティング層の前記グロス値が前記上限値以下であることで、同様に半導体ウエハの状態を検査するときに、コーティング層が光る現象が抑制されて、赤外線カメラ等による検査画像の視認がより容易となる。
 なお、前記グロス値は、JIS K 7105に従って、コーティング層の前記支持シート側とは反対側から、コーティング層の表面の20°鏡面光沢度を測定して得られた値である。
The gloss value of the surface of the coating layer opposite to the side in contact with the support sheet (the support sheet side) is preferably 32 to 95, more preferably 40 to 90, 45 It is particularly preferred that it is .about.85. When the gloss value of the coating layer is in such a range, laser printing can be performed more clearly on the protective film.

However, when the surface (back surface) opposite to the surface (front surface) provided with the protective film-forming film of the support sheet is an uneven surface, it is between the coating layer and the uneven surface (back surface) of the support sheet. Furthermore, in order to suppress the formation of voids, the coating layer is preferably formed by directly applying the coating composition to the uneven surface of the support sheet.
Hereinafter, an example of the preferable manufacturing method of the composite sheet for protective film formation is demonstrated.
 コーティング層は、支持シートの凹凸面(図1及び2においては、支持シート10の裏面10b、すなわち基材11の裏面11b)にコーティング組成物を塗工し、乾燥させ、必要に応じて形成した塗膜を硬化させることで、形成することが好ましい。 The coating layer was formed as necessary by applying the coating composition to the uneven surface of the support sheet (in FIGS. 1 and 2, the back surface 10b of the support sheet 10, that is, the back surface 11b of the base material 11), and drying. It is preferably formed by curing the coating film.
 コーティング組成物の対象面への塗工は、公知の方法で行えばよく、例えば、エアーナイフコーター、ブレードコーター、バーコーター、グラビアコーター、ロールコーター、ロールナイフコーター、カーテンコーター、ダイコーター、ナイフコーター、スクリーンコーター、マイヤーバーコーター、キスコーター等の各種コーターを用いる方法が挙げられる。 Coating of the coating composition on the target surface may be performed by a known method, for example, an air knife coater, blade coater, bar coater, gravure coater, roll coater, roll knife coater, curtain coater, die coater, knife coater. And a method using various coaters such as a screen coater, a Meyer bar coater, and a kiss coater.
 コーティング組成物を支持シートの凹凸面に塗工する場合には、コーティング層と支持シートの凹凸面との間において、空隙部の発生を抑制することが好ましい。前記空隙部の発生を抑制することで、コーティング層と支持シートの凹凸面との境界における光の乱反射が抑制され、保護膜の表面にレーザー印字をより鮮明に行うことができる。
 前記空隙部の発生を抑制するためには、例えば、粘度が小さいコーティング組成物を用いることが好ましい。また、エネルギー線重合性化合物を含有するコーティング組成物は、通常、前記空隙部の発生を抑制するのに好適である。
When the coating composition is applied to the uneven surface of the support sheet, it is preferable to suppress the generation of voids between the coating layer and the uneven surface of the support sheet. By suppressing the generation of the voids, irregular reflection of light at the boundary between the coating layer and the uneven surface of the support sheet is suppressed, and laser printing can be performed more clearly on the surface of the protective film.
In order to suppress the generation of the voids, for example, it is preferable to use a coating composition having a low viscosity. Moreover, the coating composition containing an energy beam polymerizable compound is usually suitable for suppressing the generation of the voids.
 コーティング組成物の乾燥条件は、特に限定されないが、コーティング組成物は加熱乾燥させることが好ましく、この場合、例えば、70~130℃で0.5~5分の条件で乾燥させることが好ましい。 The drying conditions of the coating composition are not particularly limited, but the coating composition is preferably dried by heating. In this case, for example, it is preferably dried at 70 to 130 ° C. for 0.5 to 5 minutes.
 コーティング組成物から形成した塗膜の硬化条件は、特に限定されず、公知の方法で行えばよい。
 エネルギー線の照射により硬化を行う場合には、例えば、紫外線を照射する場合であれば、紫外線源として高圧水銀ランプ、ヒュージョンHランプ又はキセノンランプ等を用い、照射量を好ましくは100~500mJ/cmとして、照射すればよい。一方、電子線を照射する場合であれば、電子線加速器等によって電子線を発生させ、照射量を好ましくは150~350kVとして、照射すればよい。なかでもコーティング層の形成は、紫外線の照射により行うことが好ましい。
The curing conditions for the coating film formed from the coating composition are not particularly limited, and may be performed by a known method.
In the case of curing by irradiation with energy rays, for example, in the case of irradiation with ultraviolet rays, a high pressure mercury lamp, a fusion H lamp, a xenon lamp or the like is used as the ultraviolet ray source, and the irradiation amount is preferably 100 to 500 mJ / cm. 2 may be irradiated. On the other hand, in the case of irradiation with an electron beam, an electron beam is generated by an electron beam accelerator or the like, and the irradiation amount is preferably set to 150 to 350 kV. In particular, the coating layer is preferably formed by ultraviolet irradiation.
 支持シートが、例えば、基材及び粘着剤層が積層されてなるものである場合、粘着剤層は、コーティング層を備えた基材の表面(図1及び2においては基材11の表面11a)に粘着剤組成物を直接塗工して形成することが可能である。ただし通常は、例えば、剥離シートの剥離処理面に粘着剤組成物を塗工し、乾燥させることで形成した粘着剤層を、基材の表面に貼り合わせ、前記剥離シートを取り除くなど、粘着剤層を別途形成しておき、これを基材の表面に貼り合わせる方法を採用することが好ましい。 For example, when the support sheet is formed by laminating the base material and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is the surface of the base material provided with the coating layer (the surface 11a of the base material 11 in FIGS. 1 and 2). It can be formed by directly coating the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition. However, usually, for example, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer formed by applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive composition to a release-treated surface of a release sheet and drying it is bonded to the surface of a substrate, and the release sheet is removed. It is preferable to adopt a method in which a layer is formed separately and this is bonded to the surface of the substrate.
 粘着剤組成物は、コーティング組成物の場合と同様の方法で、対象面へ塗工できる。 The pressure-sensitive adhesive composition can be applied to the target surface in the same manner as in the case of the coating composition.
 塗工した粘着剤組成物は、加熱することで架橋させてもよく、この加熱による架橋は乾燥を兼ねて行ってもよい。加熱条件は、例えば、100~130℃で1~5分間とすることができるが、これに限定されない。 The applied pressure-sensitive adhesive composition may be crosslinked by heating, and the crosslinking by heating may also be performed for drying. The heating conditions can be, for example, 100 to 130 ° C. for 1 to 5 minutes, but are not limited thereto.
 支持シートが、基材のみからなるもの等、1層(単層)からなるものである場合と、例えば、基材及び粘着剤層が積層されてなるもの等、複数層からなる場合と、のいずれにおいても、コーティング層を備えた支持シートの表面(図1及び2においては、支持シート10の表面10a、すなわち粘着剤層12の表面12a)に保護膜形成用組成物を直接塗工して、保護膜形成用フィルムを形成することが可能である。ただし通常は、上述の粘着剤層の場合と同様に、剥離シートの剥離処理面に保護膜形成用組成物を塗工し、乾燥させることで形成した保護膜形成用フィルムを、支持シートの表面に貼り合わせ、必要に応じて前記剥離シートを取り除くなど、保護膜形成用フィルムを別途形成しておき、これを支持シートの表面に貼り合わせる方法を採用することが好ましい。 When the support sheet is composed of one layer (single layer) such as a substrate only, or when the support sheet is composed of a plurality of layers, for example, a substrate and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer are laminated. In any case, the composition for forming a protective film is directly applied to the surface of the support sheet provided with the coating layer (in FIGS. 1 and 2, the surface 10a of the support sheet 10, that is, the surface 12a of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12). It is possible to form a protective film-forming film. However, normally, as in the case of the above-mentioned pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the protective film-forming film formed by applying the protective film-forming composition to the release-treated surface of the release sheet and drying it is applied to the surface of the support sheet. It is preferable to adopt a method in which a protective film-forming film is separately formed and bonded to the surface of the support sheet, for example, such that the release sheet is removed if necessary.
 保護膜形成用組成物は、コーティング組成物の場合と同様の方法で、対象面へ塗工できる。
 保護膜形成用組成物の乾燥条件は、特に限定されないが、コーティング組成物の場合と同様の方法で乾燥させることができる。
The composition for forming a protective film can be applied to the target surface in the same manner as in the case of the coating composition.
Although the drying conditions of the composition for protective film formation are not specifically limited, It can be dried by the method similar to the case of a coating composition.
 支持シートが基材及び粘着剤層が積層されてなるものである場合には、本発明に係る保護膜形成用複合シートは、上述の方法以外でも製造できる。例えば、前記粘着剤組成物を用いて粘着剤層を形成し、前記保護膜形成用組成物を用いて保護膜形成用フィルムを形成した後、これら粘着剤層及び保護膜形成用フィルムを重ね合わせて積層体とし、この積層体の前記粘着剤層の表面(粘着剤層の保護膜形成用フィルムが設けられていない面)に、コーティング層を備えた基材の表面(図1及び2においては基材11の表面11a)を貼り合わせることによっても、保護膜形成用複合シートを製造できる。
 この場合の粘着剤層及び保護膜形成用フィルムの形成条件は、上述の方法の場合と同じである。
When the support sheet is formed by laminating the base material and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the protective film-forming composite sheet according to the present invention can be produced by methods other than those described above. For example, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed using the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition, a protective film-forming film is formed using the protective film-forming composition, and then the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the protective film-forming film are overlapped. The surface of the base material (in FIGS. 1 and 2) provided with a coating layer on the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the laminated body (the surface on which the protective film-forming film of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is not provided). A composite sheet for forming a protective film can also be produced by laminating the surface 11a) of the substrate 11.
In this case, the conditions for forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the protective film-forming film are the same as in the above-described method.
 支持シートの保護膜形成用フィルムを備えている面(表面)とは反対側の面(裏面)が凹凸面ではなく平滑面である場合には、本実施形態に係る保護膜形成用複合シートは、上述の方法以外でも製造できる。例えば、前記コーティング組成物を用いてコーティング層を形成し、これを支持シートの平滑面に貼り合わせることによって積層体とし、一方で、前記保護膜形成用組成物を用いて保護膜形成用フィルムを形成しておき、この保護膜形成用フィルムを前記積層体の支持シートの露出面(支持シートのコーティング層が設けられていない面)に貼り合わせることによっても、保護膜形成用複合シートを製造できる。別途形成しておいたコーティング層及び保護膜形成用フィルムの支持シートへの貼り合わせの順序は、上記と反対でもよく、支持シートの一方の表面に保護膜形成用フィルムを貼り合わせた後、支持シートの他方の表面(支持シートの保護膜形成用フィルムが設けられていない面)にコーティング層を貼り合わせることによっても、保護膜形成用複合シートを製造できる。
 また、支持シートの一方の表面に、前記保護膜形成用組成物を用いて保護膜形成用フィルムを形成し、一方で、前記コーティング組成物を用いてコーティング層を形成しておき、このコーティング層を前記支持シートの露出面(支持シートの保護膜形成用フィルムが設けられていない面)に貼り合わせることによっても、保護膜形成用複合シートを製造できる。
 これらの場合のコーティング層及び保護膜形成用フィルムの形成条件は、上述の方法の場合と同じである。
When the surface (back surface) opposite to the surface (front surface) provided with the protective film forming film of the support sheet is a smooth surface instead of an uneven surface, the protective film forming composite sheet according to the present embodiment is It can also be manufactured by methods other than those described above. For example, a coating layer is formed using the coating composition, and this is laminated to a smooth surface of a support sheet to form a laminate, while a protective film-forming film is formed using the protective film-forming composition. The composite sheet for forming a protective film can also be produced by forming and bonding this protective film-forming film to the exposed surface of the support sheet of the laminate (the surface on which the coating layer of the support sheet is not provided). . The order of laminating the coating layer and the protective film forming film separately formed on the support sheet may be opposite to the above, and after supporting the protective film forming film on one surface of the support sheet, The composite sheet for forming a protective film can also be produced by attaching a coating layer to the other surface of the sheet (the surface on which the protective film-forming film of the support sheet is not provided).
Further, a protective film-forming film is formed on one surface of the support sheet using the protective film-forming composition, and on the other hand, a coating layer is formed using the coating composition. A composite sheet for forming a protective film can also be produced by adhering to the exposed surface of the support sheet (the surface on which the protective film-forming film is not provided).
The formation conditions of the coating layer and the protective film-forming film in these cases are the same as in the above-described method.
 例えば、図1に示すような、保護膜形成用複合シートを上方から見下ろして平面視したときに、保護膜形成用フィルムが粘着剤層よりも表面積が小さい保護膜形成用複合シートを製造する場合には、上述の製造方法において、あらかじめ所定の大きさ及び形状に切り出しておいた保護膜形成用フィルムを粘着剤層上に設けるようにすればよい。 For example, when the protective film-forming composite sheet has a smaller surface area than the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer when the protective film-forming composite sheet is viewed from above and viewed in plan, as shown in FIG. In the manufacturing method described above, a protective film-forming film previously cut into a predetermined size and shape may be provided on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.
◎保護膜形成用複合シートの使用方法
 本実施形態に係る保護膜形成用複合シートの使用方法は、例えば、以下に示すとおりである。
 まず、保護膜形成用フィルムが熱硬化性である場合の保護膜形成用複合シートの使用方法について説明する。
 この場合には、まず、保護膜形成用複合シートの保護膜形成用フィルムに半導体ウエハの裏面を貼付するとともに、保護膜形成用複合シートをダイシング装置に固定する。
 次いで、保護膜形成用フィルムを加熱によって硬化させて保護膜とする。半導体ウエハの表面(電極形成面)にバックグラインドテープが貼付されている場合には、通常、このバックグラインドテープを半導体ウエハから取り除いてから、保護膜を形成する。
Method for Using Protective Film Forming Composite Sheet A method for using the protective film forming composite sheet according to the present embodiment is, for example, as shown below.
First, the usage method of the composite sheet for protective film formation in case the film for protective film formation is thermosetting is demonstrated.
In this case, first, the back surface of the semiconductor wafer is attached to the protective film forming film of the protective film forming composite sheet, and the protective film forming composite sheet is fixed to the dicing apparatus.
Next, the protective film-forming film is cured by heating to form a protective film. When a back grind tape is affixed to the surface (electrode formation surface) of the semiconductor wafer, the protective film is usually formed after removing the back grind tape from the semiconductor wafer.
 次いで、半導体ウエハをダイシングして半導体チップとする。保護膜を形成してからダイシングを行うまでの間においては、保護膜形成用複合シートのコーティング層側から保護膜にレーザー光を照射して、保護膜の表面に印字を行うことができる。この場合、先の説明のように、保護膜形成用複合シートのコーティング層側からのヘイズの測定値が、上記のような特定の範囲内であることで、保護膜に対して鮮明にレーザー印字を行うことができる。 Next, the semiconductor wafer is diced into semiconductor chips. From the formation of the protective film to the time of dicing, printing can be performed on the surface of the protective film by irradiating the protective film with laser light from the coating layer side of the protective film-forming composite sheet. In this case, as described above, the measured value of haze from the coating layer side of the composite sheet for forming the protective film is within the specific range as described above, so that the laser printing is clearly performed on the protective film. It can be performed.
 また、ダイシングを行う前の半導体ウエハや、ダイシングを行って得られた半導体チップについては、その裏面(保護膜形成用複合シートが貼付されている面)側から赤外線カメラ等によって観察することで、状態を検査することがある。例えば、半導体チップであれば、その欠けや割れ等の破損の有無を検査することがある。
 一方で、本発明に係る保護膜付き半導体チップにおいては、上述のように、コーティング層側からのヘイズの測定値が、上記のような特定の範囲内であり、さらに、コーティング層と支持シートの前記裏面との間には、空隙部の発生が抑制されている。したがって、半導体ウエハや半導体チップを、コーティング層側から保護膜形成用複合シートを介して、赤外線カメラ等によって観察するときに、鮮明な検査画像を取得できるため、高精度に検査を行うことができる。
In addition, for the semiconductor wafer before dicing and the semiconductor chip obtained by dicing, by observing from the back surface (the surface on which the protective film-forming composite sheet is attached) side with an infrared camera or the like, The condition may be checked. For example, in the case of a semiconductor chip, the presence or absence of breakage such as chipping or cracking may be inspected.
On the other hand, in the semiconductor chip with a protective film according to the present invention, as described above, the measured value of haze from the coating layer side is within the specific range as described above. The generation of voids is suppressed between the back surface. Therefore, when a semiconductor wafer or a semiconductor chip is observed from the coating layer side through the protective film forming composite sheet with an infrared camera or the like, a clear inspection image can be obtained, so that the inspection can be performed with high accuracy. .
 次いで、支持シートから、半導体チップをその裏面に貼付されている保護膜とともに剥離させてピックアップすることにより、保護膜付き半導体チップを得る。例えば、支持シートが基材及び粘着剤層が積層されてなり、前記粘着剤層がエネルギー線硬化性のものである場合には、エネルギー線の照射によって粘着剤層を硬化させ、この硬化後の粘着剤層から、半導体チップをその裏面に貼付されている保護膜とともにピックアップすることにより、より容易に保護膜付き半導体チップが得られる。 Next, the semiconductor chip is peeled off from the support sheet together with the protective film affixed to the back surface thereof and picked up to obtain a semiconductor chip with a protective film. For example, when the support sheet is formed by laminating a base material and an adhesive layer, and the adhesive layer is energy ray curable, the adhesive layer is cured by irradiation of energy rays, A semiconductor chip with a protective film can be more easily obtained by picking up the semiconductor chip from the adhesive layer together with the protective film attached to the back surface thereof.
 例えば、図1に示す保護膜形成用複合シート1を用いる場合には、保護膜形成用複合シート1の保護膜形成用フィルム13に半導体ウエハの裏面を貼付するとともに、露出されている支持シート10(粘着剤層12)をリングフレーム等のダイシング用治具(図示略)に貼付して、保護膜形成用複合シート1をダイシング装置に固定する。次いで、保護膜形成用フィルム13を硬化させて保護膜とした後、保護膜にレーザー印字を行い、次いでダイシングを行い、必要に応じてエネルギー線の照射によって、粘着剤層12の前記治具への貼付箇所以外の領域を硬化させてから、保護膜付き半導体チップをピックアップすればよい。このように、粘着剤層12がエネルギー線硬化性のものである保護膜形成用複合シート1を用いた場合には、これが前記治具から剥離してしまわないように、粘着剤層12の特定領域を硬化させないように調節することが必要となる。一方で、保護膜形成用複合シート1を用いた場合には、これを前記治具へ貼付するための構成を別途設ける必要がない。 For example, in the case of using the protective film forming composite sheet 1 shown in FIG. 1, the back surface of the semiconductor wafer is attached to the protective film forming film 13 of the protective film forming composite sheet 1 and the exposed support sheet 10 is exposed. (Adhesive layer 12) is affixed to a dicing jig (not shown) such as a ring frame to fix the protective film-forming composite sheet 1 to the dicing apparatus. Next, after the protective film forming film 13 is cured to form a protective film, laser printing is performed on the protective film, then dicing is performed, and energy beam irradiation is applied to the jig of the adhesive layer 12 as necessary. After curing the region other than the pasted portion, a semiconductor chip with a protective film may be picked up. Thus, when using the composite sheet 1 for forming a protective film in which the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 is energy ray curable, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 is specified so that it does not peel off from the jig. It is necessary to adjust so that the region does not cure. On the other hand, when the composite sheet 1 for forming a protective film is used, there is no need to separately provide a configuration for attaching the composite sheet 1 to the jig.
 これに対して、図2に示す保護膜形成用複合シート2を用いる場合には、保護膜形成用複合シート2の保護膜形成用フィルム23に半導体ウエハの裏面を貼付するとともに、治具用接着剤層16をリングフレーム等のダイシング用治具(図示略)に貼付して、保護膜形成用複合シート2をダイシング装置に固定する。次いで、保護膜形成用フィルム23を硬化させて保護膜とした後、保護膜にレーザー印字を行い、次いでダイシングを行い、必要に応じてエネルギー線の照射によって粘着剤層12を硬化させてから、保護膜付き半導体チップをピックアップすればよい。このように、粘着剤層12がエネルギー線硬化性のものである保護膜形成用複合シート2を用いた場合には、保護膜形成用複合シート1を用いた場合とは異なり、粘着剤層12の特定領域を硬化させないように調節することは不要である。一方で、保護膜形成用複合シート2として、保護膜形成用複合シート1とは異なり、治具用接着剤層16を備えたものが必要となる。治具用接着剤層16を備えていることで、粘着剤層12として、目的に応じて幅広い組成のものを選択できる。 On the other hand, when the protective film forming composite sheet 2 shown in FIG. 2 is used, the back surface of the semiconductor wafer is attached to the protective film forming film 23 of the protective film forming composite sheet 2 and the jig bonding is performed. The agent layer 16 is attached to a dicing jig (not shown) such as a ring frame, and the protective film forming composite sheet 2 is fixed to a dicing apparatus. Next, after the protective film-forming film 23 is cured to form a protective film, laser printing is performed on the protective film, then dicing is performed, and if necessary, the adhesive layer 12 is cured by irradiation with energy rays, A semiconductor chip with a protective film may be picked up. Thus, when the protective film-forming composite sheet 2 in which the adhesive layer 12 is energy ray curable is used, the adhesive layer 12 is different from the case where the protective film-forming composite sheet 1 is used. It is not necessary to adjust so as not to cure the specific region. On the other hand, unlike the protective film-forming composite sheet 1, the protective film-forming composite sheet 2 is required to have a jig adhesive layer 16. By having the adhesive layer 16 for jig | tool, the thing of a wide composition can be selected as the adhesive layer 12 according to the objective.
 次に、保護膜形成用フィルムがエネルギー線硬化性である場合の保護膜形成用複合シートの使用方法について説明する。
 この場合には、まず、上述の保護膜形成用フィルムが熱硬化性である場合と同様に、保護膜形成用複合シートの保護膜形成用フィルムに半導体ウエハの裏面を貼付するとともに、保護膜形成用複合シートをダイシング装置に固定する。
 次いで、保護膜形成用フィルムをエネルギー線の照射によって硬化させて保護膜とする。半導体ウエハの表面(電極形成面)にバックグラインドテープが貼付されている場合には、通常、このバックグラインドテープを半導体ウエハから取り除いてから、保護膜を形成する。
Next, a method for using the composite sheet for forming a protective film when the protective film-forming film is energy ray curable will be described.
In this case, first, as in the case where the above-described protective film forming film is thermosetting, the back surface of the semiconductor wafer is attached to the protective film forming film of the protective film forming composite sheet, and the protective film is formed. Fix the composite sheet to the dicing machine.
Next, the protective film-forming film is cured by irradiation with energy rays to form a protective film. When a back grind tape is affixed to the surface (electrode formation surface) of the semiconductor wafer, the protective film is usually formed after removing the back grind tape from the semiconductor wafer.
 次いで、半導体ウエハをダイシングして半導体チップとする。保護膜を形成してからダイシングを行うまでの間においては、保護膜形成用複合シートのコーティング層側から保護膜にレーザー光を照射して、保護膜の表面に印字を行うことができる。この印字からダイシングまでは、上述の保護膜形成用フィルムが熱硬化性である場合と同様に行うことができ、その場合と同様に、保護膜に対して鮮明にレーザー印字を行うことができ、赤外線カメラ等によって高精度に検査を行うことができる。 Next, the semiconductor wafer is diced into semiconductor chips. From the formation of the protective film to the time of dicing, printing can be performed on the surface of the protective film by irradiating the protective film with laser light from the coating layer side of the protective film-forming composite sheet. From this printing to dicing, it can be carried out in the same manner as the above-mentioned film for forming a protective film is thermosetting, and in that case, laser printing can be clearly performed on the protective film, Inspection can be performed with high accuracy by an infrared camera or the like.
 次いで、支持シートから、半導体チップをその裏面に貼付されている保護膜とともに剥離させてピックアップすることにより、保護膜付き半導体チップを得る。
 この方法は、例えば、保護膜形成用複合シートとして、支持シートが基材及び粘着剤層が積層されてなり、かつ前記粘着剤層が非エネルギー線硬化性であるものを用いる場合に、特に好適である。なお、ここでは、保護膜形成用フィルムをエネルギー線の照射によって硬化させてから、半導体ウエハをダイシングし、保護膜付き半導体チップをピックアップする得る場合について説明したが、前記粘着剤層が非エネルギー線硬化性である場合には、保護膜形成用フィルムのエネルギー線の照射による硬化は、半導体チップをピックアップするまでのいずれの段階でも行うことができる。
Next, the semiconductor chip is peeled off from the support sheet together with the protective film stuck on the back surface thereof and picked up, thereby obtaining a semiconductor chip with a protective film.
This method is particularly suitable when, for example, a composite sheet for forming a protective film is used in which a support sheet is formed by laminating a base material and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is non-energy ray curable. It is. Here, the case where the protective film-forming film is cured by irradiation with energy rays and then the semiconductor wafer is diced and a semiconductor chip with a protective film is picked up is described. However, the adhesive layer is a non-energy ray. When it is curable, the protective film-forming film can be cured by irradiation with energy rays at any stage until the semiconductor chip is picked up.
 例えば、支持シートが基材及び粘着剤層が積層されてなり、かつ前記粘着剤層がエネルギー線硬化性のものである保護膜形成用複合シートを用いる場合には、以下に説明する方法が好ましい。
 すなわち、まず、上記の場合と同様に、保護膜形成用複合シートの保護膜形成用フィルムに半導体ウエハの裏面を貼付するとともに、保護膜形成用複合シートをダイシング装置に固定する。
 次いで、保護膜形成用複合シートのコーティング層側から保護膜にレーザー光を照射して、保護膜の表面に印字を行い、さらに半導体ウエハをダイシングして半導体チップとする。この印字からダイシングまでは、上述の保護膜形成用フィルムが熱硬化性である場合と同様に行うことができ、その場合と同様に、保護膜に対して鮮明にレーザー印字を行うことができ、赤外線カメラ等によって高精度に検査を行うことができる。
For example, when a support sheet is formed by laminating a base material and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is an energy ray-curable composite sheet, a method described below is preferable. .
That is, first, as in the above case, the back surface of the semiconductor wafer is attached to the protective film forming film of the protective film forming composite sheet, and the protective film forming composite sheet is fixed to the dicing apparatus.
Next, the protective film is irradiated with laser light from the coating layer side of the protective film-forming composite sheet, printing is performed on the surface of the protective film, and the semiconductor wafer is diced into semiconductor chips. From this printing to dicing, it can be carried out in the same manner as the above-mentioned film for forming a protective film is thermosetting, and in that case, laser printing can be clearly performed on the protective film, Inspection can be performed with high accuracy by an infrared camera or the like.
 次いで、エネルギー線の照射によって、保護膜形成用フィルムを硬化させて保護膜とすると共に、粘着剤層を硬化させ、この硬化後の粘着剤層から、半導体チップをその裏面に貼付されている保護膜とともにピックアップすることにより、保護膜付き半導体チップが得られる。 Next, by irradiating energy rays, the protective film-forming film is cured to form a protective film, and the adhesive layer is cured, and from this cured adhesive layer, the semiconductor chip is adhered to the back surface thereof By picking up with the film, a semiconductor chip with a protective film is obtained.
 一方、長尺の保護膜形成用複合シートを巻き取る場合には、通常、保護膜形成用フィルムの露出面上に剥離フィルム(図1及び2においては剥離フィルム15)が積層された状態の保護膜形成用複合シートが使用される。そして、本発明に係る保護膜形成用複合シートは、如何なる構成であっても(例えば、図1に示す保護膜形成用複合シート1、及び図2に示す保護膜形成用複合シート2のいずれであっても)、保護膜形成用複合シートをロール状に巻き取るに従って、コーティング層、支持シート、保護膜形成用フィルム及び剥離フィルムがこの順に積層されている積層単位が、ロールの径方向に順次積み重ねられていく。その結果、ロールの径方向において互いに接触している積層単位同士の間では、一方の積層単位の剥離フィルムの表面(保護膜形成用フィルムが設けられている側とは反対側の面)と、他方の積層単位のコーティング層の裏面(基材と接触している側とは反対側の面)とが接触し、押圧された状態となり、この状態のまま、保護膜形成用複合シートのロールは保存される。しかし、コーティング層が設けられていることにより、積層単位同士の間では、これら剥離フィルム及びコーティング層の貼り付きが抑制されるため、本実施形態に係る保護膜形成用複合シートは、ブロッキングが抑制される。 On the other hand, when winding up a long protective film-forming composite sheet, the protective film usually has a release film (release film 15 in FIGS. 1 and 2) laminated on the exposed surface of the protective film-forming film. A film-forming composite sheet is used. The protective film-forming composite sheet according to the present invention has any configuration (for example, any of the protective film-forming composite sheet 1 shown in FIG. 1 and the protective film-forming composite sheet 2 shown in FIG. 2). Even if the protective sheet-forming composite sheet is wound into a roll, the lamination unit in which the coating layer, the support sheet, the protective film-forming film, and the release film are laminated in this order is sequentially formed in the radial direction of the roll.

 このようにして得られたテープを10枚用意し、これらテープを積層して試験片とした。このとき、実施例1~5の場合には、いずれもコーティング層が上向きとなるように前記テープを積層した。そして、比較例1~3の場合には、コーティング層が存在しないため、いずれも基材が上向きとなるように前記テープを積層した。次いで、この試験片を2枚のガラス板(幅75mm、長さ15mm、厚さ5mm)で挟み込み、これらガラス板と試験片との積層物全体を、一方のガラス板を最下層として所定の箇所に載置し、他方の最上層のガラス板上に錘を載せて、前記試験片を加圧した。このときの、前記テープの積層方向において、前記試験片に加えられた力は980.665mN(すなわち100gf)であった。この状態でこれらガラス板と試験片との積層物全体を、湿熱促進器(ESPEC社製)内で、40℃で3日間保管し、前記試験片に対して加熱加圧促進試験を行った。
[Blocking resistance (2)]
The protective film-forming composite sheets obtained in the above examples and comparative examples were cut out to form a tape having a width of 50 mm and a length of 100 mm. When cutting out, the length direction of the tape was made to coincide with the application direction of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition.
Ten tapes thus obtained were prepared, and these tapes were laminated to obtain test pieces. At this time, in each of Examples 1 to 5, the tape was laminated so that the coating layer faced upward. In Comparative Examples 1 to 3, since no coating layer was present, the tapes were laminated so that the base material faced upward. Next, the test piece is sandwiched between two glass plates (width 75 mm, length 15 mm, thickness 5 mm), and the entire laminate of the glass plate and the test piece is placed at a predetermined position with one glass plate as the lowermost layer. The test piece was pressurized by placing a weight on the other uppermost glass plate. At this time, the force applied to the test piece in the laminating direction of the tape was 980.665 mN (that is, 100 gf). In this state, the entire laminate of the glass plate and the test piece was stored at 40 ° C. for 3 days in a moist heat accelerator (manufactured by ESPEC), and a heating and pressing acceleration test was performed on the test piece.
 次いで、湿熱促進器から前記試験片を取り出し、最下層の第1剥離フィルム(最下層のガラス板と接触していた第1剥離フィルム)及びこれに隣接する保護膜形成用フィルムを取り除き、露出した粘着剤層を、両面粘着テープを介して支持板に貼り合わせることで、加熱加圧促進試験後の前記試験片から最下層の第1剥離フィルム及びこれに隣接する保護膜形成用フィルムのみ取り除かれたものを前記支持板に固定した。
 次いで、実施例1~5の場合には、上記の固定したもののうち、前記支持板から最も遠い最上層のコーティング層、基材、粘着剤層及び保護膜形成用フィルムからなる積層物を取り除き、露出した第1剥離フィルムを、引張試験機を用いて、剥離速度300mm/分、剥離角度180°の条件で、隣接するコーティング層から剥離させたときの剥離力を測定した。比較例1~3の場合には、上記の固定したもののうち、前記支持板から最も遠い最上層の基材、粘着剤層及び保護膜形成用フィルムからなる積層物を取り除き、露出した第1剥離フィルムを、引張試験機を用いて、剥離速度300mm/分、剥離角度180°の条件で、隣接する基材から剥離させたときの剥離力を測定した。このようにして得られた、第1剥離フィルムの剥離力の測定値を、保護膜形成用複合シートの耐ブロッキング性の指標とした。
 なお、測定しようとする第1剥離フィルムの剥離力が十分に小さい場合には、湿熱促進器から取り出した前記試験片から、上述の様に最下層の第1剥離フィルム(最下層のガラス板と接触していた第1剥離フィルム)に隣接する保護膜形成用フィルムを取り除こうとするときに、剥離力の測定対象である第1剥離フィルムが先に、その隣接する層(実施例1~5の場合にはコーティング層、比較例1~3の場合には基材)から剥離してしまうことがある。その場合には、湿熱促進器から取り出した前記試験片から、最下層の第1剥離フィルムを取り除いた後、これに隣接する保護膜形成用フィルムは取り除かずに、この保護膜形成用フィルムを、両面粘着テープを介して支持板に貼り合わせることで、前記試験片から最下層の第1剥離フィルムのみが取り除かれたものを前記支持板に固定して、この固定したものについて、上記と同様に第1剥離フィルムの剥離力を測定した。
 結果を表1に示す。
Next, the test piece was taken out from the moist heat accelerator, and the lowermost first release film (the first release film in contact with the lowermost glass plate) and the protective film forming film adjacent thereto were removed and exposed. By sticking the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to the support plate via a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, only the lowermost first release film and the protective film-forming film adjacent thereto are removed from the test piece after the heat and pressure acceleration test. Was fixed to the support plate.
Next, in the case of Examples 1 to 5, among the above fixed ones, the laminate composed of the uppermost coating layer, the base material, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the protective film-forming film farthest from the support plate is removed, The peel force when the exposed first release film was peeled from the adjacent coating layer was measured using a tensile tester under the conditions of a peel speed of 300 mm / min and a peel angle of 180 °. In the case of Comparative Examples 1 to 3, among the above fixed ones, the uppermost base material farthest from the support plate, the adhesive layer, and the laminate composed of the protective film-forming film were removed, and the exposed first release The peeling force when the film was peeled off from an adjacent substrate under the conditions of a peeling speed of 300 mm / min and a peeling angle of 180 ° was measured using a tensile tester. The measured value of the peeling force of the first release film thus obtained was used as an index of blocking resistance of the protective film-forming composite sheet.
In addition, when the peeling force of the 1st peeling film to be measured is sufficiently small, from the said test piece taken out from the moist heat accelerator, the lowermost 1st peeling film (lowermost glass plate and When trying to remove the protective film-forming film adjacent to the first release film that was in contact with the first release film, the first release film to be measured for the peel force was first removed from the adjacent layer (of Examples 1 to 5). In some cases, the coating layer may peel off from the coating layer, and in the case of Comparative Examples 1 to 3, the base material may peel off. In that case, after removing the first release film of the lowermost layer from the test piece taken out from the wet heat accelerator, without removing the protective film forming film adjacent thereto, this protective film forming film, By sticking to a support plate via a double-sided adhesive tape, the one from which only the first release film of the lowermost layer is removed from the test piece is fixed to the support plate. The peel strength of the first release film was measured.

 実施例1~6の保護膜形成用複合シートは、基材側の最外層にコーティング層を備えており、このコーティング層側からのヘイズの測定値が小さいことで、レーザー印字性及び耐ブロッキング性がいずれも良好であった。
 特に、実施例1、2、4及び5の保護膜形成用複合シートは、実施例3及び6の保護膜形成用複合シートよりもレーザー印字性に優れており、これは、実施例1、2、4及び5の保護膜形成用複合シートでは、前記ヘイズがさらに小さく、より適した範囲内となっているためであると推測される。
 また、実施例1~4の保護膜形成用複合シートは、実施例5及び6の保護膜形成用複合シートよりも耐ブロッキング性に優れており、これは、実施例1~4の保護膜形成用複合シートの方が、コーティング層の厚さが薄いためであると推測される。
 なお、実施例1~6の保護膜形成用複合シートは、いずれも基材と粘着剤層との間に空隙部が認められなかった。
The composite sheet for forming a protective film of Examples 1 to 6 has a coating layer on the outermost layer on the substrate side, and the measured value of haze from the coating layer side is small, so that laser printability and blocking resistance are achieved. Both were good.
In particular, the protective film-forming composite sheets of Examples 1, 2, 4, and 5 were superior in laser printability to the protective film-forming composite sheets of Examples 3 and 6, In the composite sheets for forming a protective film of 4 and 5, it is surmised that the haze is further smaller and within a more suitable range.
The protective film-forming composite sheets of Examples 1 to 4 are superior in blocking resistance to the protective film-forming composite sheets of Examples 5 and 6, and this is because the protective film-forming composite sheets of Examples 1 to 4 are formed. It is estimated that the composite sheet for use is because the thickness of the coating layer is thinner.
In each of the protective film-forming composite sheets of Examples 1 to 6, no void was observed between the substrate and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.
 これに対して、比較例1の保護膜形成用複合シートは、図4に示すものと同様に、基材の粘着剤層を備えている側の面(表面)とは反対側の面(裏面)が凹凸面であり、かつコーティング層も備えていないことにより、耐ブロッキング性には優れていたものの、レーザー印字性に劣っていた。 On the other hand, the protective film-forming composite sheet of Comparative Example 1 has a surface (back surface) opposite to the surface (front surface) on the side having the adhesive layer of the base material, as shown in FIG. ) Is an uneven surface and does not have a coating layer, it was excellent in blocking resistance but inferior in laser printability.
 比較例2の保護膜形成用複合シートは、図5に示すものと同様に、基材の粘着剤層を備えている側の面(表面)とは反対側の面(裏面)が平滑面であり、かつコーティング層も備えていないことにより、レーザー印字性は良好であったものの、耐ブロッキング性に劣っていた。比較例3の保護膜形成用複合シートも、比較例2の保護膜形成用複合シートと同様の構成を有しているものの、耐ブロッキング性だけでなく、レーザー印字性にも劣っていた。これは、基材の粘着剤層を備えている側の面(表面)が凹凸面であり、かつその表面粗さRaが比較例2の保護膜形成用複合シートよりも大きいためであると推測される。比較例3では、前記凹凸面の表面粗さRaが大きいために、凹凸面の形状が保護膜の表面にも反映されてしまい、保護膜の表面における凹凸の度合いが比較例2の場合よりも大きくなってしまったことで、光の乱反射がより大きく、レーザー印字性がより劣っていたと推測される。さらに、比較例2及び3の保護膜形成用複合シートは、いずれも基材の凹凸面と粘着剤層との間に空隙部があったが、比較例3の方が比較例2よりも凹凸面の表面粗さRaが大きいために空隙部が大きくなっており、そのため、比較例3の方が比較例2よりも光の乱反射がより大きく、レーザー印字性がより劣っていたと推測される。 In the composite sheet for forming a protective film of Comparative Example 2, the surface (back surface) opposite to the surface (front surface) provided with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the base material is a smooth surface, as shown in FIG. Although the laser printability was good because it was present and the coating layer was not provided, the blocking resistance was poor. The protective sheet-forming composite sheet of Comparative Example 3 also had the same configuration as the protective film-forming composite sheet of Comparative Example 2, but was inferior not only in blocking resistance but also in laser printability. This is presumed to be because the surface (surface) on the side having the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the base material is an uneven surface and the surface roughness Ra is larger than that of the protective sheet-forming composite sheet of Comparative Example 2. Is done. In Comparative Example 3, since the surface roughness Ra of the uneven surface is large, the shape of the uneven surface is reflected also on the surface of the protective film, and the degree of unevenness on the surface of the protective film is higher than in the case of Comparative Example 2. It is presumed that the larger the light, the greater the irregular reflection of light and the lower the laser printability. Furthermore, the protective sheet-forming composite sheets of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 both had voids between the uneven surface of the substrate and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, but Comparative Example 3 was more uneven than Comparative Example 2. Since the surface roughness Ra of the surface is large, the gap portion is large. Therefore, it is presumed that the comparative example 3 has a larger light irregular reflection than the comparative example 2 and the laser printability is inferior.
 比較例4の保護膜形成用複合シートは、実施例1の保護膜形成用複合シートと同様に、基材の粘着剤層を備えている側の面(表面)とは反対側の面(裏面)が凹凸面であり、かつコーティング層も備えており、耐ブロッキング性には優れていたものの、レーザー印字性に劣っていた。これは、比較例4の保護膜形成用複合シートでは、コーティング層側からのヘイズの測定値が大きいためであると推測される。 The protective film-forming composite sheet of Comparative Example 4 is the same surface as the protective film-forming composite sheet of Example 1 (surface) opposite to the surface (front surface) provided with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. ) Is an uneven surface and has a coating layer, which is excellent in blocking resistance but inferior in laser printability. This is presumed to be because, in the protective film-forming composite sheet of Comparative Example 4, the measured value of haze from the coating layer side is large.
