Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a photosensitive resin composition, a dry film, a solder resist, and a printed wiring board, and more particularly to a photosensitive resin composition containing a carboxyl group-containing resin, a photopolymerization initiator, a photopolymerizable compound, an epoxy resin, and titanium oxide, and a dry film, a solder resist, and a printed wiring board using the same. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production of printed wiring boards in electronic devices and the like, the photosensitive resin composition used for the formation of a solder resist layer and the like is required to have excellent developability, that is, a short breakpoint as the time required for development, and a wide drying range, and it is possible to set a longer drying time of a coating film. In the above-described photosensitive resin composition, in order to be able to efficiently reflect light emitted from optical elements of electronic devices such as backlights of liquid crystal displays, titanium oxide is contained on the basis of a carboxyl group-containing resin, a photopolymerization initiator, a photopolymerizable compound, and an epoxy resin, and the solder resist layer is whitened (see Patent Documents 1 to 3).

[0003] In the case where the photosensitive resin composition contains titanium oxide as such, when the photosensitive resin composition is cured by exposure, it is difficult to cure due to the reflection or absorption of light by titanium oxide, and the developability is decreased. In addition, in the case where the content of titanium oxide is increased, it is difficult to cure the formed solder resist layer from the surface layer portion to the deep portion, and the deep portion curing property is decreased. Furthermore, wrinkles are generated in the solder resist layer due to the difference in the curing shrinkage between the deep portion and the surface layer portion of the solder resist layer, and the gloss is decreased, the appearance becomes poor, and the reflectance of the solder resist layer is decreased. The above-described existing composition containing titanium oxide has these poor properties.

[0009] An object of the present application is to provide a photosensitive resin composition capable of improving developability and deep portion curing property even when titanium oxide is contained, and capable of improving the appearance and reflectance of a solder resist layer, and a dry film, a solder resist, and a printed wiring board using the same.

[0010] A photosensitive resin composition according to one embodiment of the present application contains a carboxyl group-containing resin (A), a photopolymerization initiator (B), a photopolymerizable compound (C), an epoxy resin (D), and titanium oxide (E). The carboxyl group-containing resin (A) contains a vinyl polymer having a carboxyl group-containing residue and an ethylenically unsaturated group in a side chain, has a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 100,000, and contains an oligomer fraction having a molecular weight of 450 to 1,000. The proportion of the titanium oxide (E) is 20 parts by mass or more relative to 100 parts by mass of the carboxyl group-containing resin (A).

[0013] A printed wiring board according to one embodiment of the present application has a solder resist layer containing a cured product of the photosensitive resin composition. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] <Photosensitive resin composition>

[0015] A photosensitive resin composition according to one embodiment of the present application contains a carboxyl group-containing resin (A), a photopolymerization initiator (B), a photopolymerizable compound (C), an epoxy resin (D), and titanium oxide (E). The carboxyl group-containing resin (A) contains a vinyl polymer having a carboxyl group-containing residue and an ethylenically unsaturated group in a side chain, has a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 to 100,000, and contains an oligomer fraction having a molecular weight of 450 to 1,000. The proportion of the titanium oxide (E) is 20 parts by mass or more relative to 100 parts by mass of the carboxyl group-containing resin (A).

[0016] The present inventors and others have conducted intensive studies in order to solve the problems of the present application, and as a result, have found that, when a resin (A) having a carboxyl group-containing residue and an ethylenically unsaturated group in a side chain is used as a carboxyl group-containing resin, the resin (A) has a weight average molecular weight within a specific range, and the resin (A) has an oligomer fraction having a molecular weight within a specific range, the developability and the deep curing property of a photosensitive resin composition, and the appearance and the reflectance of a solder resist layer formed therefrom can be improved, thereby completing the present application.

[0017] The composition (X) according to the present embodiment can improve developability and deep curing property even if titanium oxide is contained, and can improve the appearance and reflectivity of the solder resist layer. The reason why the composition (X) exerts the above effects by having the above configuration is not clear, but for example, it can be inferred as follows. It is considered that by making the proportion of the titanium oxide (E) in the composition (X) be the above value or more, making the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the resin (A) be the above range, and making the resin (A) contain the oligomer portion having a molecular weight of 450 to 1000, the dispersibility of the titanium oxide (E) is further improved. Due to the improvement in the dispersibility of the titanium oxide (E), the reflectivity and gloss of the solder resist layer are improved. In addition, it is considered that on the basis of the improvement in the dispersibility of the titanium oxide (E), the properties such as the curing property of the solder resist layer are more uniformized due to the presence of the oligomer portion of the resin (A). That is, since the oligomer portion has a carboxyl group, the thermal curing property of the solder resist layer becomes more uniform, the breaking point becomes shorter, the allowable width of the drying time is wider, and the developability is improved. It is considered that since the oligomer portion has an ethylenic unsaturated group, the photocuring property of the solder resist layer becomes more uniform, the balance between the surface curing and the deep curing is better, and the deep curing property is improved. In addition, by the balance between the surface curing and the deep curing being better, the generation of wrinkles of the solder resist layer can be suppressed, and the appearance is improved. Thus, according to the present application, it is possible to provide a photosensitive resin composition which can improve developability and deep curing property even if titanium oxide is contained, and which can improve the appearance and reflectivity of the solder resist layer.

[0018] The composition (X) preferably contains an antioxidant (F) and a dispersant (G) in addition to the components (A) to (E), and can contain other components (H) and the like in addition to the components (A) to (G) within a range not impairing the effects of the present application. Hereinafter, each component will be described.

[0020] The "carboxyl group-containing resin" refers to a resin having a carboxyl group. The composition (X) can be thermally cured by reacting the carboxyl group of the resin (A) with the epoxy group of the epoxy resin (D). The acid value of the resin (A) is preferably 55 mgKOH / g to 145 mgKOH / g. In this case, the thermal curing property of the composition (X) can be further improved, and the developability can be further improved. The acid value of the resin (A) is more preferably 65 mgKOH / g to 130 mgKOH / g, and further preferably 75 mgKOH / g to 120 mgKOH / g. The "acid value" refers to the milligrams of potassium hydroxide required to neutralize 1 g of the solid content of the resin (A).

[0021] The resin (A) is a vinyl polymer having a residue having a carboxyl group (hereinafter, also referred to as a residue having a carboxyl group) as a monomer unit. The "vinyl polymer" means a polymer obtained by polymerizing a monomer composition containing a monomer having an ethylenic carbon-carbon double bond. The resin (A) can have, in addition to the residue from the monomer having an ethylenic carbon-carbon double bond, a residue from a monomer having an acetylenic carbon-carbon triple bond, a residue from a phenol compound and an aldehyde compound, a residue from a carboxylic acid compound and an alcohol compound or an amine compound, and the like.

[0022] Further, the resin (A) has an ethylenic unsaturated group in a side chain. The "side chain" means a chain other than a main chain in an atomic chain constituting the resin (A), and the "main chain" means the longest chain in the atomic chain constituting the resin (A). The "ethylenic unsaturated group" means a group containing an ethylenic carbon-carbon double bond. As the ethylenic unsaturated group, for example, an ethylene group such as a vinyl group, an allyl group, a (meth)acryl group, a styryl group, and the like can be given. The "(meth)acryl group" means one or both of an acryl group and a methacryl group.

[0023] The residue having a carboxyl group is usually formed from a monomer having a carboxyl group and an ethylenic carbon-carbon double bond. As such a monomer, for example, an unsaturated carboxylic acid such as (meth)acrylic acid, crotonic acid, isocrotonic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, itaconic acid, propynoic acid, oleic acid, and vinylbenzoic acid can be given.

[0029] The resin (A) can be synthesized, for example, by introducing an ethylenically unsaturated group or the like into a side chain of a vinyl polymer having a carboxyl-containing residue. Specifically, the resin (A) can be synthesized, for example, by reacting a carboxyl group of a vinyl polymer having a carboxyl-containing residue with a compound having an epoxy group and an ethylenically unsaturated group (hereinafter, also referred to as an ethylenically unsaturated compound containing an epoxy group). That is, the resin (A) preferably contains a reaction product of a vinyl polymer having a carboxyl-containing residue and an ethylenically unsaturated compound containing an epoxy group.

[0030] As the ethylenically unsaturated compound containing an epoxy group, for example, glycidyl (meth)acrylate, 3,4-epoxycyclohexyl (meth)acrylate, and the like containing an epoxy group; a vinyl compound containing an epoxy group such as vinyl glycidyl ether; and the like can be given.

[0031] The vinyl polymer having a carboxyl-containing residue can be synthesized, for example, by performing a polymerization reaction on a monomer composition containing a monomer having a carboxyl group and an ethylenically carbon-carbon double bond and, as necessary, other monomers in the presence of a radical polymerization initiator in a solvent such as dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether. As the temperature of the polymerization reaction, for example, 50°C to 150°C, preferably 60°C to 90°C. As the time of the polymerization reaction, for example, 1 hour to 10 hours, preferably 3 hours to 7 hours.

[0032] As the radical polymerization initiator, for example, azobisisobutyronitrile, 2,2'-azobis(4-methoxy-2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), 2,2'-azobis(2-cyclopropylpropionitrile), 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), dimethyl 2,2'-azobisisonobutyrate, peroxide-based polymerization initiators such as benzoyl peroxide, t-butyl hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide, and the like can be given.

[0033] The amount of use of the radical polymerization initiator in the synthesis of the vinyl polymer having a residue containing a carboxyl group is preferably 10 parts by mass or less, more preferably 7 parts by mass or less, and further preferably 5 parts by mass or less, relative to 100 parts by mass of the monomer having an ethylenic carbon-carbon double bond, when Mw is 10,000 or more. The amount of use is preferably 0.1 parts by mass or more, more preferably 1 part by mass or more, and further preferably 2 parts by mass or more. By setting the amount of use of the radical polymerization initiator within the above range, the Mw of the resin (A) can be adjusted to a more appropriate value. In addition, when Mw is less than 10,000, the amount of use of the radical polymerization initiator is preferably 1 part by mass or more, more preferably 4 parts by mass or more, further preferably 10 parts by mass or more, and particularly preferably 20 parts by mass or more, relative to 100 parts by mass of the monomer having an ethylenic carbon-carbon double bond. By setting the amount of use of the radical polymerization initiator within the above range, the Mw of the obtained polymer can be made smaller, and as a result, the proportion of the oligomer portion in the resin (A) can be made larger. There is no particular limitation on the upper limit of the amount of use of the radical polymerization initiator, and for example, it is 50 parts by mass or less.

[0034] In the synthesis of the polymer having a residue containing a carboxyl group, a chain transfer agent is preferably used. That is, at least a part of the resin (A) is preferably a product of a polymerization reaction using a chain transfer agent. By using a chain transfer agent in the polymerization reaction, the Mw of the obtained polymer can be made smaller, and as a result, the proportion of the oligomer portion in the resin (A) can be made larger.

[0035] As the chain transfer agent, for example, unsaturated hydrocarbon compounds such as α-methylstyrene dimer, α-terpinene, dipentene, terpinolene, and the like; thiol compounds such as n-butyl mercaptan, n-octyl mercaptan, n-decyl mercaptan, n-dodecyl mercaptan, 2-ethylhexyl mercaptoacetate, and the like; halogen compounds such as carbon tetrachloride, dichloromethane, bromoform, and the like can be given. The chain transfer agent preferably contains an unsaturated hydrocarbon compound, and more preferably contains α-methylstyrene dimer. By using an unsaturated hydrocarbon compound as the chain transfer agent, an ethylenic unsaturated group can be introduced at the terminal of the resin (A) and the oligomer contained therein.

[0036] The amount of use of the chain transfer agent is preferably 1 part by mass or more, more preferably 2 parts by mass or more, further preferably 8 parts by mass or more, and particularly preferably 15 parts by mass or more, relative to 100 parts by mass of the ethylenic unsaturated monomer. By setting the amount of use of the chain transfer agent within the above range, the Mw of the obtained polymer can be made smaller, and as a result, the proportion of the oligomer portion in the resin (A) can be made larger.

[0037] The resin (A) can be synthesized, for example, by mixing a vinyl polymer having a residue containing a carboxyl group with a compound having an epoxy group and an ethylenically unsaturated group, and performing an addition reaction between the carboxyl group and the epoxy group in the presence of a polymerization inhibitor such as Metokinon and a catalyst such as dimethylbenzylamine in a solvent such as dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether.

[0038] The vinyl polymer having a residue containing a carboxyl group can be synthesized, for example, not only by the above method but also by a method in which an epoxy group of a vinyl polymer having a residue containing an epoxy group is reacted with a carboxyl group of a compound having a carboxyl group and an ethylenically unsaturated group, and then reacted with a polycarboxylic acid or a polycarboxylic anhydride.

[0039] (weight average molecular weight)

[0040] In the composition (X), it is important that the weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the resin (A) is 10,000 to 100,000. When the Mw of the resin (A) is less than 10,000, the deep curing property of the photosensitive resin composition is decreased, and wrinkles or the like are generated in the solder resist layer, and the appearance becomes poor. In this case, the heat yellowing resistance of the solder resist layer is also decreased. If the Mw of the resin (A) exceeds 100,000, the developability of the composition (X) is decreased.

[0041] The Mw of the resin (A) is preferably 15,000 or more, more preferably 20,000 or more, and further preferably 23,000 or more. The Mw of the resin (A) is preferably 80,000 or less, more preferably 60,000 or less, and further preferably 40,000 or less.

[0042] The Mw of the resin (A) is usually calculated from the results of the molecular weight measurement based on gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The molecular weight measurement based on GPC can be performed, for example, under the following conditions.

[0043] GPC device: SHODEX SYSTEM 11 manufactured by Showa Denko K.K.

[0044] Column: 4 columns of SHODEX KF-800P, KF-005, KF-003, and KF-001 manufactured by Showa Denko K.K. connected in series

[0045] Mobile phase: tetrahydrofuran

[0046] Flow rate: 1 mL / minute

[0047] Column temperature: 45°C

[0048] Detector: differential refractive index (RI) detector

[0049] Standard substance: polystyrene

[0050] (oligomer portion)

[0051] In the composition (X), it is important that the resin (A) contains an oligomer portion having a molecular weight of 450 to 1000. The oligomer portion is a portion having a molecular weight of 450 to 1000 in the resin (A) which is a vinyl polymer having a residue containing a carboxyl group and an ethylenically unsaturated group in a side chain. The resin contained in the oligomer portion preferably has at least one of a residue containing a carboxyl group and an ethylenically unsaturated group, and more preferably has both of a residue containing a carboxyl group and an ethylenically unsaturated group.

[0052] The proportion of the oligomer portion having a molecular weight of 450 to 1000 in the resin (A) is preferably 0.1% or more, more preferably 0.2% or more, further preferably 0.3% or more, and particularly preferably 0.4% or more. The proportion of the oligomer portion having a molecular weight of 450 to 1000 in the resin (A) is preferably 9% or less, more preferably 3% or less, further preferably 2% or less, and particularly preferably 1% or less. By making the proportion of the oligomer portion within the above range, the deep curing property of the composition (X) and the heat yellowing resistance of the solder resist layer can be further improved. The proportion of the oligomer portion having a molecular weight of 450 to 1000 in the resin (A) is usually determined by GPC using a differential refractive index detector, as the proportion of the area of the oligomer portion having a molecular weight of 450 to 1000 with respect to the total area of the resin (A) of 100%. That is, the proportion (%) of the oligomer portion means "(area from the oligomer portion) x 100 / total area from the resin (A)". In the GPC, the molecular weight of the oligomer is calculated using polystyrene as a standard substance. In addition, the total area from the resin (A) and the area from the oligomer portion having a molecular weight of 450 to 1000 can be calculated by the usual area calculation method based on baseline processing and peak processing in the GPC. Specifically, after the peaks in the GPC are divided into a peak from the resin (A) and a peak from components other than the resin (A) such as solvents, monomers, compounds having an epoxy group and an ethylenically unsaturated group, and the like, the portion from the oligomer portion having a molecular weight of 450 to 1000 is calculated in the peak from the resin (A). Thus, the proportion (%) of the oligomer portion is calculated by the formula (area from the oligomer portion) x 100 / (total area from the resin (A)).

[0053] The resin (A) can be used alone as one kind, and in addition, two or more kinds of resins having different Mw from each other can be used in mixture in order to adjust the proportion of the oligomer portion. The resin (A) can be, for example, a mixture of a resin having an Mw of 10000 or more and not containing an oligomer portion and a resin having an Mw of less than 10000 and containing an oligomer portion.

[0054] The proportion of the resin (A) with respect to the solid content of the composition (X) is preferably 10% by mass or more, and more preferably 20% by mass or more. The proportion is preferably 60% by mass or less, and more preferably 50% by mass or less. The "solid content" of the composition (X) refers to the sum of the components other than the solvent in the composition (X).

[0055] [Photopolymerization initiator (B)]

[0056] The photopolymerization initiator (B) is a component that can improve the photosensitivity of the photosensitive resin composition. The composition (X) can be cured at the exposed portion by containing the photopolymerization initiator (B). One or two or more kinds of photopolymerization initiators (B) can be used.

[0063] The photopolymerization initiator (B) preferably contains an acylphosphine oxide-based photopolymerization initiator. In this case, the developability and the deep curing property of the composition (X) can be further improved. The acylphosphine oxide-based photopolymerization initiator preferably contains bis-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-phenylphosphine oxide. In this way, by using a substance having an absorption up to a long wavelength region as the photopolymerization initiator (B), the deep curing property of the composition (X) can be further improved.

[0064] When the photopolymerization initiator (B) contains an acylphosphine oxide-based photopolymerization initiator, the proportion of the acylphosphine oxide-based photopolymerization initiator in the photopolymerization initiator (B) is preferably 1% by mass or more, more preferably 5% by mass or more, further preferably 10% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 20% by mass or more. The proportion is, for example, 100% by mass, and is preferably 80% by mass or less, and more preferably 50% by mass or less.

[0065] In addition, the photopolymerization initiator (B) preferably contains an α-hydroxyalkylphenone-based photopolymerization initiator in addition to the acylphosphine oxide-based photopolymerization initiator. In this case, the developability and the deep curing property of the composition (X) can be further improved, in addition, the surface curing property can be improved, and the solubility of the photopolymerization initiator is improved, so the storage stability of the composition (X) can be further improved.

[0066] When the photopolymerization initiator (B) contains an α-hydroxyalkyl phenone-based photopolymerization initiator, the proportion of the α-hydroxyalkyl phenone-based photopolymerization initiator in the photopolymerization initiator (B) is preferably 1% by mass or more, more preferably 10% by mass or more, and further preferably 50% by mass or more.
