[0001] This application is a .sctn.371 of International Application No. PCT/CN2015/083407 filed Jul. 6, 2015, and claims priority from Chinese Patent Application No. 201410827640.X filed Dec. 26, 2014, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes.
[0002] The present invention relates to a halogen- and phosphorus-free, low-dielectric thermosetting resin composition and a prepreg, a laminate, a copper-clad laminate and a printed circuit board produced therefrom.
[0003] With the rapid development of information industry, the development of modern high-frequency communications has put forward higher and higher requirements for the electrical properties of materials, the copper-clad laminates used on the high frequency circuits must have good dielectric properties, which requiring the substrate materials to have a lower dielectric constant and a smaller dielectric dissipation factor. Generally, the signal propagation velocity within the conducting wire in the circuit board satisfies the equation V=K*C/.di-elect cons..sup.2, wherein C is the velocity of light, .di-elect cons. is the dielectric constant, and K is a constant. It can be seen that if .di-elect cons. is smaller, the propagation velocity is faster. In addition, the transmission loss in the signal propagation is related to the loss within the conductor and the loss within the medium. The loss within the conductor is in direct proportion to the square root of .di-elect cons., and the loss within the medium is related to the square root of .di-elect cons. and the loss tangent. Therefore, the use of substrate materials having low dielectric constant and low dielectric dissipation factor facilitates the high speed transmission of signals and the reduction in the loss of signals.
[0004] However, at present, the dielectric constant (Dk) of the ordinary FR-4 under the condition of 1 GHz is between 4.3 and 4.8, and its dielectric dissipation factor (Df) is between 0.02 and 0.025, which cannot satisfy the transmission speed of high frequency signals and the integrity of signal transmission.
[0005] Since the outer side of the main chain of the silicone resin macromolecule has a layer of non-polar organic groups and the macromolecular chain has molecular symmetry, it has excellent electrical insulation properties, its dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent value vary very little within a wide temperature range and frequency range, which meanwhile can remain constant at 200.degree. C. or less and can act as an ultrahigh frequency insulation material used at 350.degree. C. In a variety of curing ways of silicone resin, the reaction between --CH.dbd.CH.sub.2 and --Si--H catalyzed by platinum is under mild conditions, no small molecule will be released when curing, and no bubble will be generated, thus it has very superior electrical properties.
[0006] In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a halogen- and phosphorus-free, low-dielectric silicone resin composition and a prepreg, a laminate, a copper-clad laminate and a printed circuit board using the same, it may have excellent dielectric properties while maintaining good flame retardancy.
[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A silicone resin composition, wherein in parts by weight of the solids, the silicone resin composition comprises:
[0009] 50-90 parts of an organic silicone resin;
[0010] 20-80 parts of a vinyl-terminated silicone oil;
[0011] 0.0001-0.5 part of a catalyst; and
[0012] 0.00001-0.1 part of an inhibitor.
[0013] Preferably, the silicone resin composition further comprises a crosslinking agent, and the crosslinking agent being crosslinked with the organic silicone resin.
[0014] Preferably, the crosslinking agent is any one or a mixture of at least two of methyl hydrogen silicone oil, methylphenyl hydrogen silicone oil, methyl hydrogen silicone resin or methylphenyl hydrogen silicone resin; wherein the molar ratio of Si--H (silicon-hydrogen) in the crosslinking agent to the Si-Vi (silicon-vinyl) in the organic silicone resin is 1.0-1.7, for example 1.05, 1.1, 1.15, 1.2, 1.25, 1.3, 1.35, 1.4, 1.45, 1.5, 1.55, 1.6 or 1.65. The molar ratio of Si--H (silicon-hydrogen) and Si-Vi (silicon-vinyl) is ideally calculated as 1.0. However, due to the Si--H (silicon-hydrogen) in the crosslinking agent itself is prone to self-reaction to generate hydrogen and remove the Si--H under high temperatures, the molar ratio of Si--H to Si-Vi may be higher when in the actual application, but the molar ratio of Si--H to Si-Vi cannot be too high, otherwise more hydrogen will be generated, which will result in the formation of holes in the laminates after curing, thus it is appropriate for the molar ratio of Si--H to Si-Vi being 1.0-1.7, and preferably being 1.2-1.6.
[0015] Preferably, the mass fraction of the hydrogen contained in the crosslinking agent is 0.5-1.6%, for example 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1.0%, 1.1%, 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.4% or 1.5%, and preferably 0.7-1.3%.
[0016] In the present invention, the amount of crosslinking agent is calculated through the molar ratio of Si--H (silica-hydrogen)/Si-Vi (silicon-vinyl) and the content and parts by mass of vinyl in the organic silicone resin.
[0017] In the present invention, the content of the organic silicone resin is for example, 53 parts, 56 parts, 59 parts, 63 parts, 67 parts, 71 parts, 75 parts, 79 parts, 83 parts, 86 parts or 89 parts.
[0018] The content of the vinyl-terminated silicone oil is for example, 24 parts, 28 parts, 32 parts, 36 parts, 40 parts, 44 parts, 48 parts, 52 parts, 56 parts, 60 parts, 64 parts, 68 parts, 72 parts or 76 parts.

Meanwhile, the lower the mass fraction of vinyl is, the more the resins tend to be silicone rubbers, and the lower the hardness is after curing, which will affect the use of laminates, while the higher the mass fraction of vinyl is, the better the thermosetting property of resins is, but the resins are more fragile, and the mechanical properties is decreased. Therefore, the mass fraction of vinyl in the organic silicone resin is 0.5-8.0%, for example 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7% or 7.5%, preferably, the mass fraction of vinyl is 1.0-6.0%.
[0023] In the present invention, the vinyl-terminated silicone oil is an active diluent of the resin composition, including methyl vinyl-terminated silicone oil and/or a methylphenyl vinyl-terminated silicone oil, the vinyl-terminated silicone oil itself will participate in the reaction, when the viscosity of the vinyl-terminated silicone oil is lower, the effect of dilution and dissolution of the silicone resin is better, but it is fragile after curing, whereas when the viscosity of the vinyl-terminated silicone oil is higher, it can act a toughening effect on the silicone resins, meanwhile the dilution effect on the silicone resin can be reduced, thus its viscosity is 200-10,000 mPas, and preferably 500-8,000 mPas.
[0024] In the present invention, the silicone resin composition further comprises a catalyst, which is a platinum catalyst, preferably a platinum-methylvinyl complex and/or a platinum-methylphenylvinyl complex, preferably the viscosity of the catalyst is 100-10,000 mPas.

[0041] For example, the silicone resin composition may contain various additives. As specific examples, flame retardants, antioxidants, heat stabilizers, antistatic agents, ultraviolet absorbers, pigments, colorants or lubricants, etc. can be listed. These various additives may be used singly or in a combination of two or more.

[0077] Analysis of physical properties: As can be seen from the test results, the silicone resin compositions of Examples 1-3 have very low Dk/Df, which facilitates the high speed transmission of signals and the reduction in the loss of signals, meanwhile achieving halogen- and phosphorus-free flame retardancy, and superior mechanical properties as well. When Comparative Example 1 was compared with Example 1, the Si--H/Si-Vi=1.9 (molar ratio), the amount of hydrogen silicone oil was excess and hydrogen would be released at high temperature, resulting in a small amount of bubbles and holes inside the laminate. When Comparative Example 2 was compared with Example 2, the content of vinyl was 10.0 parts, and the amount of hydrogen silicone oil was 31.1 parts through calculation, too much vinyl would result in the friability after curing the resins and the reduction in mechanical properties; and when Comparative Example 3 was compared with Example 3, the Si--H/Si-Vi=0.7 (molar ratio), the amount of the hydrogen silicone oil cannot make the vinyl silicone resin completely cure, resulting in the laminate having low hardness, poor mechanical properties, and easy crinkling on the surface of the copper foil; While Comparative Example 4 is a condensed-type silicone resin, the electrical properties of which was worse than the vinyl silicone resin due to small molecules would be released when curing.
[0078] As can be seen from the test results of Example 4 and Comparative Example 5, since the addition-type silicone resin would not release small molecules when reacting and has better voltage resistance and better dip soldering resistance, and the addition-type silicone resin can use an active diluent which has no pollution to the environment and plays a good toughening effect to the silicone resins, the layer of resins will be free from dry linting and cracking.
