Technology Field

[0002] TFT-LCDs and OLEDs require color filter layers with red, green, and blue patterns to implement the color of each pixel.
[0003] The process for manufacturing a color filter on an upper substrate is as follows. Taking a TFT-LCD as an example, a color resist is applied over a TFT structure and exposed to light to cure the color resist through a photopolymerization reaction. After the exposure is complete, unexposed areas of the color resist are removed by development, and the material undergoes a sintering process. In the event that a defect occurs in the color filter during this process, conventionally, the defective substrate was not reused and was mostly disposed of. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for stripping solution compositions that allow for the removal of defective color filters and the reuse of the substrate.

Specific details for implementing the invention
[0028] Terms and words used in this specification and claims should not be interpreted as being limited to their ordinary or dictionary meanings, but should be interpreted in a meaning and concept consistent with the technical spirit of the invention, based on the principle that the inventor can appropriately define the concept of the terms to best describe his invention.
[0029] Therefore, the configurations illustrated in the embodiments and manufacturing examples described in this specification are merely one preferred embodiment of the present invention and do not represent all of the technical ideas of the present invention; thus, it should be understood that various equivalents and modifications that can replace them may exist at the time of filing this application.
[0030] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention are described in detail so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the invention. However, the present invention may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the manufacturing examples and embodiments described herein.
[0031] The present invention relates to a stripping solution composition that can easily remove a color resist (CR) and an organic insulating film (Over Coat, OC), etc., without causing damage to an underlying film layer such as an inorganic insulating film and metal wiring on a substrate.
[0032] A stripping solution composition according to one aspect of the present invention is a composition that can easily strip a color resist and an organic insulating film by increasing the dissolving power for the color resist and the organic insulating film on a substrate using two or more polar solvents having different molecular weights. Specifically, the polar solvents include a first non-protic polar solvent containing a nitrogen atom (N) and a second non-protic polar solvent having a molecular weight different from that of the first non-protic polar solvent. That is, the stripping solution composition according to one aspect of the present invention is a mixture of a glycol ether compound; an inorganic base or its salt compound; a chain-type amine compound and an alkylammonium compound in a solvent having excellent dissolving power for the color resist and the organic insulating film. In addition, the weight ratio of the first non-protic polar solvent containing nitrogen atoms (N) and the second non-protic polar solvent is 1:1 to 1:40, which can further improve the dissolving power of the color resist and organic insulating film of the stripping solution. If the ratio is outside this range, the dissolving power of the organic insulating film may decrease, and there is a disadvantage that the performance over time (time during which performance is maintained) of the stripping solution composition is reduced.
[0033] Among the first aprotic solvent or the second aprotic solvent having the difference in molecular weight, the solvent with the smaller molecular weight penetrates primarily into the cured overcoating layer and color resist layer during the process of dissolving the overcoating layer and color resist layer to widen the gaps between the polymers (Step 1), and the solvent with the larger molecular weight penetrates secondarily to break the intermolecular bonds, and the overcoating layer and color resist layer particles with broken bonds are surrounded by the solvent and dissolved in a stable state (Step 2). Due to the peeling process of Step 1 and Step 2, the solvent's dissolving power for the overcoating layer and color resist layer can be excellent.
[0034] When the difference in molecular weight between the first non-protic polar solvent containing the nitrogen atom (N) and the second non-protic polar solvent in the solvent is within a specific range, the primary separation of the organic insulating film layer (overcoating layer) during the peeling process can occur more easily. Specifically, there may be a difference of 5 to 65 g / mol, and more specifically, a difference of 5 to 55 g / mol. The difference in molecular weight between the first non-protic polar solvent containing the nitrogen atom (N) and the second non-protic polar solvent in the solvent must be 5 or more so that the effect of increasing solubility through the two-step peeling process can be manifested. If the difference in molecular weight between the first non-protic polar solvent containing the nitrogen atom (N) and the second non-protic polar solvent in the solvent is higher than 65 g / mol, a problem may occur in which the cleaning ability is reduced during the cleaning step after the peeling step. The molecular weight of the first nonprotic polar solvent containing the nitrogen atom (N) may be greater than the molecular weight of the second nonprotic polar solvent, or conversely, the molecular weight of the second nonprotic polar solvent may be greater than the molecular weight of the first nonprotic polar solvent containing the nitrogen atom (N). In addition, a case where the difference between the molecular weight of the first nonprotic polar solvent containing the nitrogen atom (N) and the molecular weight of the second nonprotic polar solvent is 5 to 55 g / mol may be preferred for effective exfoliation.
[0035] The first non-protic polar solvent containing the nitrogen atom (N) may specifically have a molecular weight of 50 to 120 g / mol and may include, for example, one or more selected from N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, N-ethylformamide, N-methylformamide, and pyrrolidone.
[0036] In addition, the second non-protic polar solvent is not particularly limited as long as it is a non-protic polar solvent with a molecular weight difference from the first non-protic polar solvent, but considering compatibility, it may include a nitrogen atom (N) or a sulfur atom (S), and specifically, the molecular weight may be 70 to 140 g / mol. The second non-protic polar solvent satisfying the above conditions may include, for example, one or more selected from dimethyl sulfoxide, diethyl sulfoxide, dipropyl sulfoxide, and sulfolane. The second non-protic polar solvent is used together with the first non-protic polar solvent containing the nitrogen atom (N), and when using a non-protic polar solvent with a molecular weight of 70 to 140 g / mol, an excellent swelling effect on the color resist and organic insulating film is exhibited, and the peeling power is increased due to excellent dissolution performance, as well as an excellent residue removal effect.
[0037] As a first nonprotic polar solvent containing the above nitrogen atom (N), N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone has a high molecular weight of 113.16 g / mol and includes a cyclic structure, so it is suitable as a solvent because it has excellent solubility for solutes, and also has particularly excellent solubility for the overcoating layer through its relatively large cyclic molecular structure, so N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone can be used as a first nonprotic polar solvent containing the nitrogen atom (N).
[0038] In the stripping solution composition of the present invention, the glycol ether compound acts as a buffer to ensure that various compositions included in the stripping solution are evenly dissolved in the solvent, and also plays a role in ensuring that the stripping solution composition remaining on the substrate is washed away smoothly without adsorbing foreign substances, etc. when cleaned with ultrapure water during the cleaning step following the stripping step. The above buffering role can be effectively achieved when the glycol ether compound is included in the stripping solution composition in an amount of 10 to 100 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of solvent, and in particular, the above buffering role can be exhibited even more excellently when the glycol ether compound is included in an amount of 12 to 50 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of solvent. If the glycol ether compound is included in the stripping solution composition in an amount less than the above weight part, the inorganic base or its salt compound, amine compound, alkylammonium compound, etc. included in the solvent may not be evenly mixed, and there may be a problem in that the condition of the substrate after stripping may not be uniform. If the glycol ether compound is included in the stripping solution composition in excess of the above weight part, the specific gravity of the material without stripping performance may become excessively high, and there may be a problem in that the stripping effect is reduced.
[0039] The glycol ether compound may include, for example, one or more selected from ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, ethylene glycol methyl ether, ethylene glycol ethyl ether, ethylene glycol butyl ether, diethylene glycol methyl ether, diethylene glycol ethyl ether, diethylene glycol butyl ether, triethylene glycol methyl ether, triethylene glycol ethyl ether, triethylene glycol butyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, dipropylene glycol methyl ether, dipropylene glycol ethyl ether, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether, triethylene glycol dimethyl ether, ethylene glycol diethyl ether, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, and diethylene glycol methyl ethyl ether.
[0040] In the stripping solution composition of the present invention, an inorganic base or its salt compound is included in the stripping solution together with an alkylammonium compound to rapidly strip the overcoating layer and the color resist layer dissolved by the solvent, thereby serving to enhance the stripping ability of the stripping solution. Furthermore, even if the inorganic base or its salt compound is included in a small amount in the stripping solution composition, it can improve the corrosion resistance of the underlying film and achieve an excellent stripping effect through interaction with other components of the stripping solution composition. Specifically, the above effect can be achieved even if the inorganic base or its salt compound is included in a small amount of 0.001 to 0.05 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of solvent in the stripping solution composition. However, for the stripping ability enhancement effect to be significantly manifested, the inorganic base or its salt compound must be at least 0.001 parts by weight; if it is included in an amount exceeding 0.05 parts by weight, corrosion of the inorganic insulating film beneath the color resist may occur due to an excessive stripping effect. In particular, when an inorganic base or its salt compound is included in an amount of 0.002 to 0.04 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of solvent, the ability of the stripping solution to remove color resist and organic insulating film can be exhibited more excellently.
[0041] The above inorganic base or its salt compound may be, for example, an alkali salt compound, and specifically may include one or more selected from potassium acetate, potassium nitrate, potassium carbonate, potassium pyrophosphate, potassium oleate, potassium benzoate, potassium laurate, potassium tert-butoxide, potassium sulfate, potassium sorbate, potassium aminobenzoate, potassium disulfate, potassium cyanate, potassium sulfide, potassium xylene sulfonate, sodium xylene sulfonate, lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, potassium hydrogen carbonate, sodium nitrate, sodium sulfate, sodium acetate, sodium silicate, and potassium silicate, and in particular, an inorganic base or When potassium acetate is used as its chloride compound, the stripping effect of the stripping solution composition is exhibited more excellently, and the corrosion prevention effect on the underlying inorganic insulating film can be further enhanced.
[0042] A first non-protic polar solvent containing a nitrogen atom (N) included in the solvent of the stripping solution composition improves the solubility for the overcoating layer, but separately, the chain-type amine compound and the alkylammonium compound dissolved in the solvent serve as solutes to directly strip the photoresist and the overcoating layer. When the weight sum of the chain-type amine compound and the alkylammonium compound is included in the stripping solution composition at 20 to 145 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the solvent, swelling of the overcoating layer and the color resist occurs easily, and stripping can occur more effectively. In particular, when the weight sum of the chain-type amine compound and the alkylammonium compound is 30 to 80 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the solvent, the swelling and stripping can occur even more effectively.
[0043] The stripping solution composition includes an alkylammonium compound to improve the removal performance of color resist and organic insulating films. Specifically, when the stripping solution composition contains 15% by weight or more of the alkylammonium compound relative to the total weight of the stripping solution composition, the removal performance of the color resist and organic insulating films of the stripping solution composition can be significantly improved. However, when the stripping solution composition contains more than 29% by weight of the alkylammonium compound relative to the total weight of the stripping solution composition, it is avoided as it may cause corrosiveness to the underlying film. When the alkylammonium compound is included in an amount of 15 to 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the stripping solution composition, the ability of the stripping solution to remove color resist and organic insulating films can be exhibited even more excellently.
[0044] The above-mentioned alkylammonium compound plays a role in enabling efficient stripping through swelling and peeling of the overcoating layer and color resist; therefore, it is advisable to adjust its content in relation to the weight of the inorganic base or its chloride compound that imparts stripping properties. Considering that the inorganic base or its chloride compound is included in a small amount in the stripping solution composition, including the inorganic base or its chloride compound and the alkylammonium compound in a weight ratio of 1:1,000 to 1:20,000 helps to impart excellent stripping properties. When the ratio of the inorganic base or its chloride compound and the alkylammonium compound in the stripping solution composition is within the above weight ratio range, the removal performance of the color resist and the organic insulating film (overcoating layer) can be maintained at an excellent level, and SiO x Although the corrosion inhibition effect on inorganic insulating films including [the product] may be excellent, if the weight ratio is outside the above range, residual precipitates, etc. may remain even after the stripping solution composition has evaporated, which may impair the performance of the substrate.
[0045] The above chain-type amine compounds are, for example, aminoethanol, diethanolamine, N-methylethanolamine, triethanolamine, glycolamine, diglycolamine, hydroxylamine, methylamine, ethylamine, isopropylamine, monoisopropylamine, diethylamine, diisopropylamine, dibutylamine, ethylenediamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, triisopropylamine, tributylamine, monoisopropanolamine, aminoethoxyethanol, propoxyethylamine, isopropoxypropylamine, methoxyethoxypropylamine, aminoethylethanol, methoxyethylamine, methoxypropylamine, ethoxypropylamine, 3-methoxypropylamine, 3-ethoxypropylamine, n-methylmethanolamine, monomethanolamine, monoethanolamine, diethylaminopropylamine, bis-2-methoxyethylamine, propylenediamine, 1,3-propanediamine, It may include one or more selected from 1,2-propylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, dihexyllentriaamine, triethylenetetramine, tetraethylenepentaamine, oxolan-2-yl-methaneamine, (oxolan-2-yl-methyl)butan-1-amine and methyloxolan-2-yl-methaneamine, and in particular, when monoethanolamine, 3-ethoxypropylamine, N-methylethanolamine, hydroxylamine, monoisopropanolamine or 3-methoxypropylamine is used, the peeling effect may be expressed more excellently.
[0046] The above alkylammonium compound may include one or more selected from, for example, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, tetrapropylammonium hydroxide, and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, and in particular, when tetramethylammonium hydroxide is used, swelling and peeling effects may be expressed more excellently.
[0047] The stripping solution composition of the present invention may further include a corrosion inhibitor to prevent corrosion of the underlying film layer, such as an inorganic insulating film and metal wiring, beneath the color resist layer during the stripping process.
[0048] When a corrosion inhibitor is included, it must be included in an amount of at least 0.2 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of solvent for the corrosion effect of the lower film layer to be significant, and if included in an amount exceeding 25 parts by weight, the peeling characteristics may be impaired, and when included in an amount of 0.3 to 15 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of solvent in the peeling solution composition, the corrosion prevention effect of the lower film layer can be particularly excellently expressed.
[0049] The corrosion inhibitor may include one or more selected from azole compounds such as tolytriazole, benzotriazole, and mercaptomethylimidazole; catechol compounds; and alkyl gallate compounds; and in particular, when tolytriazole is used, the corrosion prevention effect of the underlying film layer can be exhibited more excellently.
[0050] In addition to the above composition, the stripping solution composition of the present invention may include water, specifically distilled water, to activate the ammonium chloride compound, and it may be advantageous to include the water content as the remainder of the above composition in an amount of 30 to 35 weight percent relative to the total weight of the stripping solution composition to ensure that stripping occurs effectively.
[0051] A stripping solution composition for a silicon oxide film according to one aspect of the present invention comprises one or more aprotic solvents, a glycol ether compound, an inorganic base or a salt compound thereof, a chain-type amine compound, and an alkylammonium compound, wherein the inorganic base or its salt compound is included in a very small amount of 0.001 to 0.05 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the solvent, so that even after the overcoating layer, which is a color resist and an organic insulating film, is completely removed by the stripping solution composition, the underlying film layer, such as an inorganic insulating film and metal wiring beneath the color resist, can be maintained intact, and in particular, the silicon oxide film (SiO₂), which is prone to corrosion during the stripping process xThe composition is a stripping solution for a silicon oxide film having the characteristic that the underlying film can be fully maintained even when the underlying film is included as the underlying film. In this case, the aprotic solvent of the stripping solution composition for a silicon oxide film may include one or more of the first aprotic solvent or the second aprotic solvent, and the glycol ether compound, inorganic base or its salt compound, chain-type amine compound and alkylammonium compound may use the compositions of each specific example described above.
[0052] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention are described in detail so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the invention. However, the present invention may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0087] Through Table 2 above, it can be seen that Examples 1 to 11, Examples 13 to 15, and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 all showed good results in the underlayer damage evaluation (Experimental Examples 2 to 4), but there is a significant difference between the Comparative Examples and the Examples in terms of the removal performance of color resist and organic insulating films. While Examples 1 to 11 and Examples 13 to 15 of the present invention all showed excellent removal performance of color resist and organic insulating films, it can be seen that Comparative Examples 1 to 7 showed poor removal performance of color resist and organic insulating films to the extent that they are difficult to use as a stripping solution composition. In particular, Examples 2 to 5, 10, 11, and 14 not only showed very excellent removal performance of color resist and organic insulating films but also outstanding results in the underlayer damage evaluation, indicating that the stripping solution composition according to one embodiment of the present invention has excellent removal performance of color resist and organic insulating films without causing damage to the underlayer material. In addition, it can be seen that Examples 10, 11, and 14, which contain 15% by weight or more of an alkylammonium compound relative to the total stripping solution composition, have superior removal performance compared to Example 13, which contains less than 15% by weight of an alkylammonium compound.
