Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a resin composition for an anti-reflective film, an anti-reflective film, and a solid-state imaging device, and more specifically, to a resin composition for an anti-reflective film, an anti-reflective film, and a solid-state imaging device that exhibits a low refractive index, suppresses crack formation during film formation, has excellent flatness of the film, prevents particle aggregation and foreign matter generation, prevents moisture adsorption under high temperature and high humidity conditions, prevents moisture penetration by a developer and a stripper, and also has excellent stability over time. Background Technology

[0002] A solid-state imaging device is a device that converts an image captured through light energy into electrical information. Micro-lenses for light focusing are formed on the photoelectric converter, and an anti-reflective film is formed on the surface. This anti-reflective film serves to prevent noise such as flare or ghosting.

[0003] Anti-reflective films applied to solid-state imaging devices require fine and precise processing and moldability. For this reason, conventional vapor deposition methods suitable for micro-processing, such as vacuum deposition or sputtering, have been adopted.

[0004] However, vapor phase methods such as vacuum deposition or sputtering have the problem of high manufacturing costs due to the high cost of equipment.

[0005] Accordingly, a coating method is being proposed in which a composition capable of forming an anti-reflective film is applied and cured on a substrate to replace the vapor phase method.

[0006] For example, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2010-0123610 discloses a method for forming an anti-reflective film by applying a coating solution containing hollow silica particles and a binder resin as low-refractive-index particles.

[0007] However, conventional anti-reflective film compositions using hollow silica particles had problems such as a tendency for cracking to occur during film formation, poor film flatness, moisture adsorption under high temperature and humidity conditions, and moisture permeability caused by developers and strippers.

[0008] Furthermore, untreated hollow silica particles have hydrophilic surface characteristics that allow them to absorb moisture from the air, leading to particle aggregation and reduced fluidity. Additionally, their poor miscibility with polymeric materials or organic solvents in the composition results in the formation of foreign substances, which can cause quality degradation.

[0009] In addition, if the compatibility between hollow silica particles and the solvent is poor, their dispersibility becomes poor, which presents a problem in that it is difficult to ensure stability over time.

[0010] Therefore, there is a need to develop a resin composition for anti-reflective films that exhibits a low refractive index, suppresses crack formation during film formation, provides excellent film flatness, prevents particle aggregation and foreign matter generation, prevents moisture adsorption under high temperature and high humidity conditions, blocks moisture penetration by developers and strippers, and also has excellent stability over time.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, the alcohol compound may be one or more selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, butanol, pentanol, hexanol, and 3-methoxy-1-butanol.

[0038] A resin composition for an anti-reflective film according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include amorphous silica particles.

[0049] The resin composition for an anti-reflective film according to the present invention exhibits a low refractive index, suppresses crack formation during film formation, provides excellent flatness of the film, prevents particle aggregation and foreign matter generation, prevents moisture adsorption under high temperature and high humidity conditions, prevents moisture penetration by developer and stripper solutions, and also exhibits excellent stability over time. Therefore, the resin composition for an anti-reflective film according to the present invention can be advantageously applied to an anti-reflective film of a solid-state imaging device. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0050] The present invention will be described in more detail below.

[0052] One embodiment of the present invention comprises hollow aluminosilicate particles (A), a binder resin (C), and a solvent (D), and

[0053] The above hollow aluminosilicate particles have a Si / Al molar ratio of 7 to 15, and their surfaces are modified with a compound represented by the following chemical formula 1 or a non-reactive resin, and

[0054] The above-mentioned solvent relates to a resin composition for an anti-reflective film that contains an alcohol compound in an amount of 5 to 50 weight percent based on 100 weight percent of the total solvent.

[0055] [Chemical Formula 1]

[0056]

[0057] In the above formula,

[0058] R 1 C1-C 20 It is an alkyl group of, and

[0059] R 2 to R 4 Each is independently a C1-C4 alkoxy group.

[0061] The above Si / Al molar ratio refers to the molar ratio of silicon (Si) elements in the hollow aluminosilicate particles and aluminum (Al) elements used for modification.

[0062] The above Si / Al molar ratio is 7 to 15, preferably 7 to 12, as described above. If the above Si / Al molar ratio is less than 7, the aluminum content increases, and a complete hollow shape may not be formed due to micropores occurring on the shell surface. Consequently, the strength of the hollow particles decreases, making it impossible to manufacture high-density hollow particles. Additionally, undissolved aluminum may remain in the shell, which may cause an increase in the refractive index and lead to aggregation of particles. If the ratio exceeds 15, when forming micropores in the shell, not only the aluminum on the shell surface but also the core particles are not completely removed, which causes an increase in the refractive index and makes it difficult to maintain the hollow shape during a hydrothermal reaction.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cured film formed from the resin composition for the anti-reflective film may have a refractive index of 1.20 to 1.35 at 550 nm.

[0065] By controlling the refractive index at 550 nm of the cured film formed from the above anti-reflective resin composition to the above range, it is positioned on top of a high-refractive index layer having a refractive index of 1.60 or higher, thereby eliminating noise such as flare or ghost, and thus improving the light-gathering efficiency of the solid-state imaging element.

[0067] Hollow aluminosilicate particles (A)

[0068] In one embodiment of the present invention, the hollow aluminosilicate particles (A) serve to improve anti-reflection properties by lowering the refractive index while maintaining the strength of the coating film.

[0069] The above hollow aluminosilicate particles (A) are silica particles modified with Al, and the Si / Al molar ratio is 7 to 15, preferably 7 to 12.

[0070] As the above hollow aluminosilicate particles (A) are modified with Al, they have low aggregation and excellent dispersibility, and can have high density through hydrothermal reaction.

[0071] The above-described hollow aluminosilicate particles can be obtained by preparing core-shell particles in which an aluminosilicate shell is formed by reacting a silane compound and an aluminum (Al) precursor with a template core consisting of micelles or reverse micelles of an organic polymer, and then reacting the core-shell particles with a basic or acidic aqueous solution to form micropores in the shell while simultaneously removing the core. If necessary, the density of the hollow aluminosilicate particles can be further increased by hydrothermal reaction.

[0072] The organic polymer forming the micelle or reverse micelle above is an amphoteric polymer having both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, and may be, for example, polyoxyethylene tallowamine, polyoxyethylene olillamine, polyoxyethylene stearylamine, polyoxyethylene laurylamine, polyoxyethylene sorbitan ester, polyoxyethylene octyl ether, etc. These organic polymers may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.

[0073] The above organic polymer forms micelles or reverse micelles in a solvent. At this time, the type of solvent is not particularly limited and can be selected and used according to the characteristics of the organic polymer. Specifically, the solvent may be an alcohol, a glycol ester, a ketone, or a mixture thereof. The alcohol may be methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, etc.; the glycol ester may be methyl cellosolve, ethyl cellosolve, etc.; and the ketone may be methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, etc.

[0074] The above silane compound can be easily combined with an organic polymer that forms a template core. This combination can be carried out by the Stober method (Werner, 1968), and when preparing a shell by the sol-gel process using the Stober method, a stable shell can be prepared through hydrolysis and condensation synthesis by an acidic or basic solution contained in the solvent.

[0075] The above silane compounds may include alkoxysilanes, chlorosilanes, bromosilanes, etc., without limitation. For example, the above silane compounds may include tetramethoxysilane, tetraethoxysilane, tetraisopropoxysilane, phenyltrimethoxysilane, diphenyldimethoxysilane, vinyltrimethoxysilane, vinyltriethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxytripropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-(meth)acryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, trimethylchlorosilane, trimethylbromosilane, etc. These silane compounds may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0076] The type of the above aluminum precursor is not particularly limited, and, for example, an organic salt or alkoxide of aluminum may be used.

[0077] The above silane compound and aluminum precursor combine with the core material to form an aluminosilicate shell, thereby producing core-shell particles. The produced core-shell particles can be reacted with a basic aqueous solution or an acidic aqueous solution to form micropores in the shell, and since the micropores formed in this way facilitate the entry and exit of dissolved organic polymers, the organic polymers inside the shell can be easily removed through a simple washing step.

[0078] Sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, phosphate hydroxide, or a mixture thereof may be used as the basic aqueous solution, and hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, or a mixture thereof may be used as the acidic aqueous solution.

[0079] As the above-mentioned washing solvent, distilled water, alcohol, glycol, glycol ester, or a mixture thereof may be used. As the alcohol, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, etc. may be used; as the glycol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, etc. may be used; and as the glycol ester, ethyl cellosolve, methyl cellosolve, etc. may be used.

[0080] The above hydrothermal reaction can be carried out at a temperature of 160 to 250°C.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present invention, the average particle size of the hollow aluminosilicate particles may be 30 to 150 nm, preferably 40 to 120 nm, and more preferably 50 to 90 nm. If the average particle size of the hollow aluminosilicate particles is within the above range, it may be easy to control them to satisfy Equation 1 described below, and the refractive index of the cured film may be controlled more effectively. If the average particle size of the hollow aluminosilicate particles is less than 30 nm, the volume of air within the hollow aluminosilicate particles decreases, so the refractive index cannot be lowered, and it may be difficult to maintain the hollow shape because it breaks easily due to the thickness of the thin shell, and if it exceeds 150 nm, the flatness of the coating film is reduced, and a difference in refractive index may occur even within the coating film.

[0084] The above hollow aluminosilicate particles have their surfaces modified with a compound represented by the following chemical formula 1 or a non-reactive resin.

[0085] [Chemical Formula 1]

[0086]

[0087] In the above formula,

[0088] R 1 C1-C 20 It is an alkyl group of, and

[0089] R 2 to R 4Each is independently a C1-C4 alkoxy group.

[0091] C1-C used in this specification 20 The alkyl group refers to a straight-chain or branched hydrocarbon composed of 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and includes, but is not limited to, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, t-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, 2-ethylhexyl, heptyl, 2-ethylheptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecyl, tridecyl, tetradecyl, pentadecyl, hexadecyl, heptadecyl, stearyl, nonadecyl, eicosanyl, etc.

[0092] As used in this specification, C1-C4 alkoxy groups refer to straight-chain or branched alkoxy groups composed of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and include but are not limited to methoxy, ethoxy, n-propanoxy, etc.

[0094] The compound represented by the above chemical formula 1 serves to prevent the aggregation of silicate particles due to the non-reactive alkyl group.

[0095] If the compound used for the above surface modification is a reactive compound, aggregation of hollow aluminosilicate particles occurs, impairing dispersion stability. During film formation, the aggregated particles manifest as foreign matter, and not only does the flatness of the film become poor, but the high temperature and high humidity permeability and the permeability caused by the developer and stripper may also become poor.

[0096] In one embodiment of the present invention, R 1 is preferably C1-C 15 The alkyl group of, more preferably C1-C 10 The alkyl group of, more preferably C2-C 10 It can be an alkyl group of. R 1 If the chain length is long, steric hindrance can prevent the aggregation of hollow aluminosilicate particles and improve dispersibility. However, R 1If the chain length becomes too long, compatibility with polymeric materials or organic solvents in the composition decreases, leading to particle precipitation or gelation. This not only results in poor storage stability but can also lead to poor moisture permeability due to high temperature and humidity, as well as moisture permeability caused by developers and strippers. 1 If the chain length is within the above-mentioned desirable range, the dispersibility is excellent, particle aggregation is suppressed during film formation, and the flatness of the film is excellent.

[0098] The above non-reactive resin may include repeating units represented by the following chemical formula 2.

When the repeating unit represented by Formula 2 is included within the above mole% range, it has high reactivity with the silanol groups (Si-OH) on the silica surface, thereby increasing the efficiency of surface modification.

[0123] In one embodiment of the present invention, the repeating unit represented by Formula 3 may be included in an amount of 1 to 70 mol%, preferably 5 to 50 mol%, and more preferably 10 to 40 mol%, based on 100 mol% of the total repeating units constituting the non-reactive resin. When the repeating unit represented by Formula 3 is included within the mol% range, it is desirable to assist in the hydrolysis of the alkoxy groups, for example, by adjusting the pH.

[0130] Surface modification of the above hollow aluminosilicate particles can be performed by hydrolyzing a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 or a non-reactive resin to form a silanol (-Si-OH) group and then reacting it with the hollow aluminosilicate particles.

[0132] The above hollow aluminosilicate particles may be included in an amount of 10 to 99 weight%, preferably 40 to 95 weight%, based on 100 weight% of the total solid content of the resin composition for the anti-reflective film.

If the above hollow aluminosilicate particles are included in an amount less than the above content range, they cannot exhibit a low refractive index effect and thus cannot perform the function of an anti-reflective film, and if they are included in an amount exceeding the above content range, the formation of the coating film is not easy.

When the above-mentioned binder resin satisfies the above range, it maintains stability even at high temperatures and has high resistance to many chemicals, thereby improving chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. If the above-mentioned binder resin is included in an amount less than the above-mentioned content range, the adhesion to the substrate and chemical resistance may be poor due to insufficient curing, and if it is included in an amount exceeding the above-mentioned content range, the relative particle content may decrease, and the refractive index may increase.

[0216] Solvent (D)

[0217] The above solvent (D) includes an alcohol compound to ensure excellent compatibility with hollow aluminosilicate particles.

[0218] The above alcohol compound may be a monoalcohol compound.

[0219] As used in this specification, monoalcohol compounds refer to alcohol compounds having a saturated hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms and one hydroxyl group.

[0220] The above saturated hydrocarbon group is a C1-C group in which one or more of the chain carbons are substituted with oxygen or are not substituted. 10 It can be an alkyl group.

[0221] The above alcohol compound has excellent compatibility with hollow aluminosilicate particles, C1-C 10 The monoalcohol compound may be, preferably, a C1-C6 monoalcohol compound.

[0222] Specifically, the alcohol compound may be one or more selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, butanol, pentanol, hexanol, and 3-methoxy-1-butanol.

[0223] In particular, 1-pentanol can be used as the alcohol compound due to its excellent compatibility with hollow aluminosilicate particles.

[0224] The above alcohol compound is included in an amount of 5 to 50 weight percent based on 100 weight percent of the total solvent.

[0225] When an alcohol compound is included as a solvent within the above content range, excellent compatibility with hollow aluminosilicate particles is secured, and the dispersibility of the hollow aluminosilicate particles is improved, resulting in excellent storage stability.

[0226] If the alcohol compound is included in an amount of less than 5% by weight relative to 100% by weight of the total solvent, it may reduce the dispersibility of hollow aluminosilicate particles, resulting in poor storage stability, and if it is included in an amount of more than 50% by weight, it may result in poor coating performance of the substrate and cause haze in the coating film due to insufficient compatibility with the binder resin in the composition.

[0228] The above solvent (D) includes other solvents in addition to the alcohol compound described above.

[0229] The above other solvents are not particularly limited and various organic solvents used in the relevant technical field may be used.

[0233] The above solvent may be included in an amount of 90 to 97 weight percent based on 100 weight percent of the total resin composition for the anti-reflective film. It is desirable for the content of the above solvent to be within the above range, as this results in good applicability when applied using an application device such as a spin coater, slit-and-spin coater, slit coater (sometimes called a die coater or curtain flow coater), or inkjet.

[0235] A resin composition for an anti-reflective film according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include amorphous silica particles (B).

[0237] Amorphous silica particles (B)

[0238] In one embodiment of the present invention, the amorphous silica particles (B) serve to suppress crack formation while maintaining film strength and improve the flatness of the film.

[0239] The above amorphous silica particles (B) are silica particles that do not have a hollow space within their structure and lack regularity in particle shape.

[0240] The above amorphous silica particles (B) can be obtained from the market and used.

[0241] For example, the above amorphous silica particles (B) include MT-10, DM-10, DM-30, DM-20S, DM-30S, KS-20SC, HG-09, HM-20L, HM-30S, ZD-30ST, PM-09, PM-20, X-20, X-30 (manufactured by Tokuyama Corporation), but are not limited thereto.

[0242] In one embodiment of the present invention, the average particle size of the amorphous silica particles may be 7 to 25 nm, preferably 7 to 22 nm. If the average particle size of the amorphous silica particles is within the above range, it may be easy to control to satisfy Equation 1 described below, and the refractive index of the cured film may be controlled more effectively. If the average particle size of the amorphous silica particles is less than 7 nm, gelation of the particles during storage may not be suppressed, and if it exceeds 25 nm, the refractive index increases, the surface roughness of the coating film increases, and haze may occur.

[0244] The above amorphous silica particles may be included in an amount of 70% by weight or less, for example, 10 to 70% by weight, preferably 20 to 50% by weight, based on 100% by weight of the total solid content of the resin composition for the anti-reflective film. When the above amorphous silica particles are included within the above content range, sufficient filling occurs between the hollow aluminosilicate particles within the coating film, thereby lowering the surface roughness of the coating film. If the above amorphous silica particles are included in an amount exceeding 70% by weight, the content of the hollow aluminosilicate particles is relatively reduced, making it difficult to lower the refractive index.

[0246] A resin composition for an anti-reflective film according to one embodiment of the present invention can satisfy the following mathematical formula 1.

[0247] [Mathematical Formula 1]

[0248] 1 ≤ a / b ≤ 15

[0249] In the above formula,

[0250] a is the average particle size of hollow aluminosilicate particles, and b is the average particle size of amorphous silica particles.

[0252] The above a / b value is the ratio of the average particle size of hollow aluminosilicate particles to amorphous silica particles. If the above a / b value is less than 1, the refractive index increases due to the large particle size of the amorphous silica particles, and the flatness of the coating film may decrease because the amorphous silica particles do not sufficiently fill the spaces between the hollow aluminosilicate particles. If it is greater than 15, the flatness of the coating film may decrease due to the large particle size of the hollow aluminosilicate particles.

[0254] A resin composition for an anti-reflective film according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include a leveling agent.

[0255] As the leveling agent mentioned above, commercially available surfactants may be used, such as silicone-based, fluorine-based, ester-based, cationic, anionic, nonionic, amphoteric surfactants, etc., and each of these may be used individually or in combination of two or more types.

[0257] The leveling agent may be included in an amount of 0.0001 to 0.01 weight% based on 100 weight% of the total resin composition for the anti-reflective film. It is desirable that the content of the leveling agent be within the above range, as this results in excellent film-forming properties of the resin composition for the anti-reflective film and good flatness of the film formed therefrom.

[0259] A resin composition for an anti-reflective film according to one embodiment of the present invention may additionally include, in addition to the above-mentioned components, additives such as a curing agent, a slip improver, an adhesion promoter, an antioxidant, a UV absorber, an anti-aggregation agent, a radical generator, and a photocatalyst, as needed.

[0273] One embodiment of the present invention relates to an anti-reflective film formed using the resin composition for an anti-reflective film described above.

[0274] According to the present invention, the anti-reflective film can be manufactured by applying the resin composition for the anti-reflective film described above onto a substrate and then applying heat.

[0275] A preferred example of the manufacturing process is to apply a resin composition for an anti-reflective film onto a substrate and then heat-dry it to remove volatile components such as solvents, thereby obtaining a smooth coating film.

[0276] As for the application method, it may be carried out by, for example, spin coating, flexible coating, roll coating, slit and spin coating, or slit coating.

[0277] After coating, heat drying (pre-baking) or vacuum drying is performed, and then heating is done to volatilize volatile components such as solvents. Here, the heating temperature is typically 70 to 200°C, preferably 80 to 130°C.

[0278] Subsequently, exposure and development processes can be performed as needed.

[0279] Finally, a heating process (post-baking) is performed again to form a cured network. Here, the heating temperature is typically around 70 to 230°C. As a heating method, a hot plate, a clean oven, or an infrared heater may be used. However, the present invention does not limit the heating method.

[0280] A cured film can be formed on a substrate by using the resin composition for an anti-reflective film of the present invention and going through each of the above processes.

[0281] The hardened film obtained in this way can be usefully used as an anti-reflective film for solid-state imaging devices.

[0283] Accordingly, one embodiment of the present invention relates to a solid-state imaging element having the anti-reflection film described above.

[0284] The above-mentioned solid-state imaging element may include, for example, a CCD (Charged Coupled Device) or a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, CMOS) image sensor.

[0285] The above-described solid-state imaging element includes a support comprising a semiconductor element or a photoelectric conversion element and a microlens, and the anti-reflective film may be formed on the microlens.

[0287] The present invention will be explained more specifically below through examples, comparative examples, and experimental examples. These examples, comparative examples, and experimental examples are intended solely to illustrate the present invention, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0289] Synthesis Example 1: Preparation of non-reactive resin

[0290] A flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, reflux condenser, dropping lot, and nitrogen inlet tube was prepared. Subsequently, a polymerizable mixture containing 91.2 g (0.35 mol, 70 mol%) of 3-diethoxymethylsilylpropyl methacrylate and 12.9 g (0.15 mol, 30 mol%) of methacrylic acid was prepared.

While stirring the solution, 8 ml of 3% aluminum isopropoxide and 60 ml of ethanol containing tetraethoxysilane were added using a syringe pump to obtain spherical particles containing the core. These particles were reacted with 5% sodium hydroxide, then washed and dried with distilled water and alcohol to produce aluminosilicate particles having a hollow shape. 20 g of the prepared particles and 80 g of distilled water were added and ultrasonically dispersed using an ultrasonic disperser for 1 hour to prepare an aqueous dispersion of aluminosilicate stably dispersed in water. This dispersion was placed in a 1L hydrothermal reactor and reacted at 180°C for 10 hours, after which it was precipitated and dried to produce hollow aluminosilicate particles with increased shell density. The solvent was substituted with propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate to prepare an aluminosilicate propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate dispersion with a solid content of 10 wt%.

[0316] Surface-modified hollow aluminosilicate particles were prepared by applying the method described in the paper Korean Chem. Eng. Res., Vol. 49, No. 2, April, 2011, pp. 181-186.

[0317] Specifically, the hollow aluminosilicate particles (A-1) prepared in Preparation Example 1-1 above were dried in a dry oven at 120°C for at least 3 hours, then cooled to room temperature in a desiccator to remove adsorbed moisture before use. For the solvent, 300 ml of ethanol and deionized water were prepared at a ratio of 80:20 (v / v%) at room temperature and pressure, the pH was adjusted to 3 to 5 using acetic acid, and the mixture was stirred at 300 rpm for approximately 30 minutes using a magnetic stirrer. R was added to the stirred solvent 1 is a methyl group, and R 2 to R 425.0 g of compound (E-1), represented by Chemical Formula 1 and containing a methoxy group, was added and stirred at 300 rpm for 1 hour to hydrolyze the alkoxy groups bonded to the Si terminals. After the hydrolysis reaction was completed, 5.0 g of the water-removed hollow aluminosilicate particles (A-1) from Preparation Example 1-1 were placed in a round flask, and a surface modification reaction was carried out at 300 rpm for 2 hours.
