Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a chemically amplified positive photosensitive resin composition and applications thereof, in particular, to a chemically amplified positive photosensitive resin having the advantages of good sensitivity and good stability over time, and a protective film prepared therefrom and a component comprising the same. BACKGROUND
[0002] A display component such as a thin film transistor liquid crystal display component or an organic electroluminescence device (organic EL component) generally includes an insulating film such as an interlayer insulating film or a planarization film, and such an insulating film is generally formed using a radiation-sensitive composition. In order to meet the requirements of patterning performance, a positive photosensitive resin composition including an acid generator such as naphthoquinone diazide (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-354822) can be generally used, but many other photosensitive compositions have been proposed in recent years.
[0003] For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-4669 relates to a positive chemically amplified material that forms a hardened film for a display component, and the positive chemically amplified material has higher sensitivity than the aforementioned positive photosensitive resin composition using an acid generator such as naphthoquinone diazide. The positive chemically amplified material contains a crosslinking agent, an acid generator, and an acid-dissociable resin having a protective group that can be dissociated by the action of an acid, and although the acid-dissociable resin itself is not soluble or hardly soluble in an alkaline aqueous solution, the protective group is dissociated by the action of an acid to become soluble in an alkaline aqueous solution. In addition, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-264623, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2011-215596, and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-304902 also propose a positive photosensitive composition containing a resin having an acetal structure and / or a ketal structure and an epoxy group and an acid generator.
[0004] In such a photosensitive resin composition, in addition to having high light sensitivity, it is also required to have storage stability in which the viscosity does not easily change over time, so that the hardened film formed from such a photosensitive resin composition can have resistance to swelling due to a developer or the like. Accordingly, the pattern formed by the hardened film can also be sufficiently adhered to a substrate after development without easily peeling, and the hardened film has sufficient transparency, and even after exposure, the pattern is sufficiently adhered to the substrate without easily peeling.
[0005] However, the current photosensitive resin composition still has the problems of poor sensitivity and poor stability over time, and is still not acceptable in the industry. SUMMARY

[0148] Similarly, the polymerization of the second resin (A2) can be the same as the polymerization of the aforementioned first resin (Al), except that the second mixture is used for the polymerization, and thus will not be described here.

[0294] The present application also provides an assembly having a protective film, comprising a substrate and the aforementioned protective film attached to the substrate.
[0295] In some embodiments, the chemically amplified positive photosensitive resin composition of the present application can be used as a material for forming a protective film for a display assembly. In addition, the present application also includes a protective film for a display assembly formed from a chemically amplified positive photosensitive resin composition.
[0296] The method for forming the protective film includes the following steps: a step of forming a coating film on a substrate using a chemically amplified positive photosensitive resin composition (hereinafter also referred to as "step (1)"); a step of irradiating at least a portion of the coating film with radiation (hereinafter also referred to as "step (2)"); a step of developing the coating film after irradiation with radiation (hereinafter also referred to as "step (3)"); and a step of heating the coating film after development (hereinafter also referred to as "step (4)").
[0297] According to this formation method, a protective film for a display component having excellent surface hardness, solvent resistance, heat resistance, and voltage holding ratio can be formed. In addition, by using a chemically amplified positive photosensitive resin composition having good sensitivity, a protective film for a display component having a fine and delicate pattern can be easily formed. Therefore, the formed protective film for a display component is suitable for a display component such as a liquid crystal display component, an organic EL display component, and the like.
[0298] Step (1): In this step, a chemically amplified positive photosensitive resin composition is applied to a substrate to form a coating film. Preferably, the coating surface is pre-baked to remove the solvent. The substrate can be exemplified by, for example, glass, quartz, a silicon substrate, a resin, and the like. The resin can be exemplified by, for example, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyether sulfone, polycarbonate, polyimide, a ring-opening polymer of a cyclic olefin, and a hydrogenated product thereof, and the like. The conditions of pre-baking also vary depending on the kind of each component, the blending ratio, and the like, and can be set to 70°C to 120°C for about 1 minute to 10 minutes.
[0299] Step (2): In this step, at least a part of the above-mentioned coating film formed is exposed to radiation. At the time of exposure, exposure is usually performed through a mask having a predetermined pattern. The radiation used for exposure is preferably radiation having a wavelength in the range of 190 nm to 450 nm, and more preferably radiation including ultraviolet rays of 365 nm. The exposure dose is a value obtained by measuring the intensity of radiation at a wavelength of 365 nm using an illuminometer (OAI model 356, manufactured by OAIOptical Associates). The exposure dose is preferably 500 J / m 2 to 6,000 J / m 2 , more preferably 1,500 J / m 2 to 1,800 J / m 2 .
[0300] Step (3): In this step, the above-mentioned coating film after radiation is developed. By developing the coating film after exposure, the unnecessary part (the radiation-irradiated part) is removed to form a predetermined pattern. The developing solution used in the developing step is preferably an aqueous alkali solution. The alkali can be exemplified by, for example, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, an amine, and the like, inorganic bases; tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, and the like, quaternary ammonium salts; and the like.
[0301] In the aqueous alkali solution, an appropriate amount of a water-soluble organic solvent such as methanol or ethanol or a surfactant can be added. The concentration of the alkali in the aqueous alkali solution is preferably 0.1% by mass or more and 5% by mass or less from the viewpoint of obtaining appropriate developability. The developing method can be exemplified by a puddle method, an immersion method, a swing immersion method, a spray method, and the like. The developing time varies depending on the composition of the chemically amplified positive photosensitive resin composition and is about 10 seconds to 180 seconds. After the developing treatment, the coated film is air-dried by using, for example, compressed air or compressed nitrogen after water washing for 30 seconds to 90 seconds, for example, to form a desired pattern.
[0302] Step (4): In this step, the above developed coated film is heated. At the time of heating, the patterned film is heated by using a heating device such as a hot plate or an oven to promote the hardening reaction of the resin (A) and to obtain a hardened product. The heating temperature is, for example, about 120°C to 250°C. The heating time varies depending on the type of the heating machine and is, for example, about 5 minutes to 30 minutes on a hot plate and about 30 minutes to 90 minutes in an oven. Alternatively, a stage baking method in which the heating step is performed two or more times, or the like can be used. In this way, a patterned film corresponding to a protective film for a display component targeted is formed on the surface of the substrate. Furthermore, the use of the above hardened film is not limited to a protective film for a display component and can be utilized as a spacer or an interlayer insulating film.
[0303] The film thickness of the formed protective film for a display component is preferably 0.1 μm to 8 μm, more preferably 0.1 μm to 6 μm, and still more preferably 0.1 μm to 4 μm.
