Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a novel adhesive resin composition for electronic parts and an adhesive sheet using the adhesive resin composition as the main component. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A pasty adhesive and a heat resistant substrate coated with an adhesive have hitherto been known as adhesives for a fixing treatment of electric and electronic parts, such as semiconductor chips, substrates, or lead frames. The adhesives used in these cases include thermosetting resin series adhesives such as epoxy resin series adhesives, acrylic resins series adhesives, or rubber-phenol resin series adhesives. However, because these adhesives require high temperature and a long time for heat setting, they are poor in the adhesive workability. Also, these adhesive have various disadvantages that not only a large amount of volatile components generate at heat setting to stain, for example, lead frames, but also the hygroscopic property is high, and cracks form at ref lowing of a solder. As described above, it is hard to say that conventional adhesives for fixing electric and electronic parts have a high reliability necessary for the electric and electronic parts and sufficiently satisfactory adhesives have not yet been obtained. In the meantime, a hot-melt type film adhesive using a thermoplastic polyimide resin can heat-adhere to an adherend in a short time. For such adhesives, heat setting after adhering is not necessary but high temperature is required for working due to the high glass transition temperature of these adhesives. Thus there is a large possibility of giving a thermal damage to the adherend. On the other hand, in the case of using an adhesive having a low glass transition temperature, the adhesive is excellent in the low-temperature workability but because the heat resistance of such an adhesive is low, the reliability is greatly lowered. Furthermore, because these thermoplastic polyimide resins have a high hygroscopic property, complicated processes such as the removal of absorbed moisture by pre-drying the resins before adhering are required, and thus the productivity thereof is low. JP-A-62-1714, JP-A-5-239427, and JP-A-5-320611 (the "JP-A" as used herein means an "unexamined published Japanese patent application") describe adhesive resin compositions wherein in order to improve the workability as described above, a polycarbodiimide resin is blended with an epoxy resin having a relatively low molecular weight to improve the flowability thereof. However, in these compositions, there are problems about the storage stability and the hygroscopic property due to the epoxy resin and satisfactory results are not obtained. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION As a result of various investigations on adhesive resin compositions which can adhere in a short time even at low temperature, have a high heat resistance, have a low hygroscopic property, and are hard to cause package cracks, the present inventors have found that a resin composition comprising a polycarbodiimide resin and a bisalkenyl-substituted nadimide satisfies these requirements, and have accomplished the present invention. Accordingly, one object of the present invention is to provide an adhesive resin composition having excellent various properties. Another object of the present invention is to provide an adhesive sheet using the adhesive resin composition. According one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an adhesive resin composition comprising a polycarbodiimide resin represented by following formula (1) and a bisalkenyl-substituted nadimide represented by following formula (2): wherein A represents a divalent organic group and n represents a positive integer, wherein R 1 and R 2 each independently represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and R 3 represents a diamine residue. According to another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an adhesive sheet comprising the above-described adhesive resin composition as the main component. According to still another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an adhesive sheet comprising a support having formed on at least one surface thereof the above-described adhesive resin composition. JP-A-7-286140, JP-A-7-258353. and JP-A-7-330872 describe resin compositions wherein the bisalkenyl-substituted nadimide, which is the essential component in the present invention, is blended with, for example, a thermosetting coating material having excellent heat resistance, bismaleimide, or an epoxy resin. However, there is no description in those patent publications that by compounding the bisalkenyl-substituted nadimide, the hygroscopic property and the storage stability are improved and also about such adhesives, satisfactory results are not obtained in the points of the adhesive property and the flexibility. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is described in more detail below. There is no particular restriction on the degree of polymerization (n) of the polycarbodiimide resin which is the one component of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention, but the degree of polymerization is preferably from 2 to 200, and more preferably from 8 to 40. Also, there is no particular restriction on the compounding ratio of the bisalkenyl-substituted nadimide compound, which is another component of the composition of the present invention, to the polycarbodiimide resin, and the compounding ratio is determined by considering the workability and the adhesive property of the adhesive sheet of the present invention. The compounding amount of the bisalkenyl-substituted nadimide compound is from 1 to 100 parts by weight, preferably from 5 to 80 parts by weight, and more preferably from 10 to 60 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of the polycarbodiimide resin. If the compounding amount of the bisalkenyl-substituted nadimide compound is less than 1 part by weight, the addition effect of the bisalkenyl-substituted nadimide compound is not obtained. On the other hand, if the compounding amount of the bisalkenyl-substituted nadimide compound exceeds 100 parts by weight, the strength of the adhesive sheet is lowered, which is not preferred. (A) Polycarbodiimide resin The polycarbodiimide resin used in the present invention can be produced by a conventional method. For example, the polycarbodiimide resin can be obtained by reacting an organic diisocyanate in an organic solvent in the presence of a carbodiimidation catalyst as disclosed in L.M.Alberino et al., Journal of Applied Polymer Science , 21 , 1999(1977), JP-A-2-292316, and JP-A-4-276359. The organic diisocyanate used in the above reaction for obtaining the polycarbodiimide resin includes aromatic diisocyanates such as 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate, 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate, 1-methoxyphenyl-2,4-diisocynate, 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, 3,3'-dimethoxy-4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, 3,3'-dimethyl-4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocynate, 4,4'-diphenyl ether diisocyanate, 3,3'-dimethyl-4,4'-diphenyl ether diisocyanate, or o-tolylene diisocyanate; and aliphatic diisocyanates such as 4,4-methylenebis(cyclohexyl isocyanate), bis(isocyanate methyl)-cyclohexane, isophorone diisocyanate, cyclohexylene diisocyanate, adamantylene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, p-xylene diisocyanate, m-xylylene diisocyanate, or octamethylene diisocyanate. Those can be used alone or as a mixture of two or more thereof (a copolymer is obtained). Furthermore, the organic diisocyanate produced from a diamine by the following conventional method can be used. That is, there are, for example, a method of reacting the corresponding diamine with phosgene, diphenyl carbonate, and carbonyl diimidazole; and a method of producing an organic diisocyanate from a dicarboxylic acid by a Curtius rearrangement. Also, the organic diisocyanate may be produced by a method of producing the diisocyanate by the thermal decomposition of the corresponding urethane, etc., as described in G. Greber, et al., Angew. Int. Ed. , Vol. 7, No. 12, 941(1968) and V.L.K. Valli, et al., Journal of Organic Chemistry , Vol. 60, 257(1995). Aromatic diamines are suitably used as the starting diamines for producing such diisocyanates.

These organic diisocyanates can be used alone or as copolymers of the mixtures of two or more kinds of them. A solvent used for the production of the above-described diisocyanates can be conventional solvents for these reactions. Examples of the solvent which can be used are halogenated hydrocarbon series solvents such as tetrachloroethylene, 1,2-dichloroethane, or chloroform; ketone series solvents such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, or cyclohexanone; cyclic ether series solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, or dioxane; or the mixtures thereof.

To impart a surface smoothness, the heat resistant resin may also contain, if necessary, various additives such as a smoothing agent, a leveling agent, or a defoaming agent. The adhesive resin composition of the present invention can be used as a varnish by dissolving the polycarbodiimide resin and the bisalkenyl-substituted nadimide compound in a common solvent and further can be used as an adhesive sheet by molding the resin composition into a film by a conventional method. The thickness of the adhesive sheet is generally from 1 to 2,000 µm but the thickness is not limited to this range and can be appropriately determined according to the adhering purpose. Also, the form and the size of the adhesive sheet can be appropriately determined according to the kind of an adherend such as lead frames, or semiconductor chips. In forming the adhesive sheet, for the purposes of imparting an electric conductivity, improving the heat resistance, controlling the modulus of elasticity, improving the dimensional stability, and in particular, increasing the modulus of elasticity, one or more kinds of various inorganic powders composed of a metal or an alloy, such as aluminum, copper, silver, gold, nickel, chromium, lead, tin, zinc, palladium, or solder; ceramics such as alumina, silica, magnesia, or silicon nitride; or carbon can be, if necessary, compounded with the resin composition. The coating temperature of the adhesive sheet is from 20 to 150°C, preferably from 50 to 120°C, and more preferably from 70 to 100°C. If the coating temperature is lower than 20°C, the solvent may remain in the coated film. If the coating temperature is higher than 150°C, heat setting of the coated film may proceed. The film of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention may be formed on a support. To prepare the lamination-type adhesive sheet of the above construction, a solution of the adhesive resin composition of the present invention may be coated on a support or the lamination-type adhesive sheet may be prepared by laminating the previously formed film of the adhesive resin composition on a support by press.

The foil may be a foil of the single metal or an alloy of plural metals . The insulating film which can be used is various films having a heat resistance and a chemical resistance, such as films of polyimide, a polyester, or polyethylene terephthalate. The metal foil and the insulating film may be used alone or may be used in the form of a two-layer structure of the two elements, that is, two layer substrate of the metal foil/the insulating film may be used. The two layer substrate is, for example, a copper/polyimide two layer substrate. The adhesive sheet of the present invention is heat-cured by a heat treatment to show a strong adhesive force, and also becomes a cured product having a low hygroscopic property. The heat treatment can be carried out by an appropriate method such as a heater, a ultrasonic wave, and ultraviolet rays. Accordingly, the adhesive sheet of the present invention can be preferably used for the adhesive treatment of various materials, and can be particularly preferably used for the fixing treatment and the surface protection of electric and electronic parts typified by semiconductor chips, lead frames, requiring a low hygroscopic property and a fixing treatment of a high reliability.

A varnish is prepared using the adhesive resin composition of the present invention, and a metal foil having an adhesive layer prepared by coating the varnish on one surface of the metal foil followed by drying is particularly useful for the production of multilayer circuit substrates.
