Patent ID: 7147920

Claim:
A wafer dicing/die bonding sheet comprising a backing member, an adhesive layer on the backing member, and a protective member on the adhesive layer, said adhesive layer being made of an adhesive composition, wherein said adhesive composition is a heat resistant polyimide resin composition comprising a polyimide resin having phenolic hydroxyl radicals in or at the ends of the polyimide skeleton, comprising recurring units of the structural formula (1) or (2) shown below and prepared using a diamine or monoamine bearing an aromatic ring having an amino radical and another aromatic ring having a phenolic hydroxyl radical, an epoxy resin having at least two glycidyl radicals, and an epoxy resin curing agent, the structural formula (1) or (2) being: wherein X is at least one tetravalent organic radical as shown below, Y is a divalent organic radical comprising at least one diamine residue (Y 1 ) having a phenolic hydroxyl radical as shown below and at least one aromatic diamine residue (Y 2 ) as shown below, the molar ratio of Y 1 /(Y 1 +Y 2 ) being from 0.01 to 1, Z is at least one siloxane diamine residue as shown below, m and n are natural numbers satisfying 0.1≦m/(m+n)≦0.99 and 10≦m+n≦500, wherein k is a natural number of 1 to 5, R is each independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, wherein R 1 is each independently an alkylene radical of 1 to 8 carbon atoms or arylene radical, R 2 is each independently an alkyl or alkoxy radical of 1 to 8 carbon atoms which may be branched, or aryl radical, and L is an integer of 4 to 60, wherein X is at least one tetravalent organic radical as shown below, Y 2 is a divalent organic radical comprising at least one aromatic diamine residue as shown below, Y 3 is a monovalent organic radical comprising at least one aromatic amine residue having a phenolic hydroxyl radical as shown below, Z is at least one siloxane diamine residue as shown below, m and n are natural numbers satisfying 0.1≦m/(m+n)≦0.99 and 10≦m+n≦500, wherein p in Y 3 is a natural number of 1 to 3, wherein R is each independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, wherein R 1 is each independently an alkylene radical of 1 to 8 carbon atoms or arylene radical, R 2 is each independently an alkyl or alkoxy radical of 1 to 8 carbon atoms which may be branched or aryl radical, and L is an integer of 4 to 60.
