Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a photosensitive composition, and a thin film formed using the photosensitive composition. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to the excellent thermal stability and insulating properties of polyimide, in addition to being used as an insulating material and special industrial plastic, the most widely used application is currently flexible printed circuit board (FPC). In recent years, with the development of information and communication mobility and personalization becoming more and more vigorous, the market and demand for flexible printed circuit boards (soft boards-FPC) with light and thin have increased dramatically. With the overall demand for the integration of terminal application products (IOT and wearable devices) becoming stronger, the resolution requirement becoming higher, the reaction speed becoming faster, and the storage capacity becoming larger, the soft board technology must also be matched. Therefore, the trend of high-frequency and high-speed, functionalization of soft boards is becoming more and more obvious, and high-frequency soft boards have become one of the trends of soft board technology, mainly to meet the strengthening and integration of mobile communication electronic products. Low-dielectric and low-transmission-loss substrate materials will be the main requirement of future high-frequency.

[0003] Traditional photosensitive polyimide materials generally use polyimide acid polymers in combination with photosensitizers and initiators. After the traditional photosensitive polyimide material is coated on the substrate and exposed to light and developed, high-temperature treatment (process temperature of about 250°C to 350°C) is still required to close the ring of the polyimide acid to become a polyimide. However, such a high process temperature can easily cause stress between the polyimide and the substrate due to the large difference in thermal expansion coefficient, causing the substrate to bend, deform, or crack, and even delamination, which damages the components.

[0004] Therefore, the industry needs a polyimide composition with high-frequency dielectric properties, photosensitivity, and low film-forming temperature to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0005] The present disclosure provides a photosensitive composition, which comprises 100 parts by weight of a polyimide, 0.25-50 parts by weight of an initiator, and 0.25-100 parts by weight of a crosslinking agent.

Here, the solid content refers to the weight percentage of all ingredients except the solvent, based on the total weight of the photosensitive composition. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the thickness of a film prepared from the photosensitive composition is directly proportional to the solid content of the photosensitive composition. In other words, the thickness of a film prepared from the photosensitive composition can be adjusted by the solid content of the photosensitive composition.

[0047] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the photosensitive composition of the present disclosure consists essentially of the polyimide, the initiator, the crosslinking agent, and the solvent. In other words, the polyimide, the initiator, the crosslinking agent, and the solvent are the main components of the photosensitive composition. The photosensitive composition can further include other components. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the other components can be a catalyst used to prepare the polyimide, reactants (a) and / or (b) used to prepare the polyimide but not completely reacted, an additive, or a combination thereof. If the photosensitive composition includes other components, the content of the other components can be 0.01 to 20 parts by weight. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the additive can be an additive known in the art, such as a filler, a flame retardant, a viscosity modifier, a thixotropic agent, a defoamer, a colorant, a leveling agent, a surface treatment agent, a stabilizer, an antioxidant, or a combination thereof. According to other embodiments of the present disclosure, the photosensitive composition of the present disclosure can consist of the above-mentioned main components and other components. According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the photosensitive composition of the present disclosure can include other polyimides in addition to the polyimide obtained by the reaction of reactant (a) and reactant (b), and the amount of the other polyimides can be less than or equal to 80 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the polyimide obtained by the reaction of reactant (a) and reactant (b). According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the photosensitive composition of the present disclosure does not include other polyimides in addition to the polyimide obtained by the reaction of reactant (a) and reactant (b), so that the photosensitive composition maintains a low film formation temperature and the cured product of the photosensitive composition has a low dielectric constant (Dk) and a low dielectric loss (Df) at high frequencies (a frequency band of 10 GHz or more).

[0048] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the present disclosure also provides a thin film, which is a cured product of the photosensitive composition of the present disclosure after a photolithography process and a baking process.

[0049] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the thin film of the present disclosure can be prepared by the following steps. First, the photosensitive composition of the present disclosure is formed into a coating layer on a substrate by a coating process. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the coating process can be screen printing (e.g., silk screen printing), spin coating, bar coating, blade coating, roller coating, dip coating, spray coating, or brush coating. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the substrate can be a metal sheet (e.g., a copper foil), a silicon substrate, or a glass, and any desired film layer can have been formed on the substrate. Next, the coating layer is subjected to a pre-bake process (the process temperature can be about 60°C to 120°C, and the baking time can be adjusted as appropriate, e.g., can be several seconds to several minutes). Next, the coated substrate is exposed to actinic rays, such as X-ray, electron beam, ultraviolet light, visible light, or other light sources that can be used as actinic rays, under a photomask. After exposure, the coated substrate is then developed by a developer to remove the exposed portions of the thin film to obtain a patterned film layer. Finally, the patterned film layer is subjected to a baking process (the process temperature can be about 120°C to 200°C. The baking time can be adjusted as appropriate, e.g., can be several seconds to several hours). The development can be done by immersion, spraying, or coating with a liquid, or using other known development methods. The developed photoresist pattern is then washed with deionized water. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the developer can be an aqueous alkaline developer, such as an aqueous solution of an inorganic base (e.g., potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, or sodium carbonate), a primary amine (e.g., ethylamine), a secondary amine (e.g., diethylamine), a tertiary amine (e.g., triethylamine), or a quaternary ammonium salt (e.g., tetramethylammonium hydroxide).

[0050] Due to the photosensitive composition of the present disclosure having the specific polyimide of the present disclosure, the photosensitive composition can be baked at a lower temperature (i.e., the photosensitive composition has a lower film formation temperature (in the range of about 160°C to 200°C)) to obtain the thin film. In addition, the thin film (i.e., the cured product of the photosensitive composition) obtained after the photolithography process has not only good resolution, electrical properties, chemical resistance, and heat resistance, but also has a low dielectric constant (Dk) (e.g., less than or equal to 2.81) and a low dielectric loss (Df) (e.g., less than or equal to 0.0097) at high frequencies (frequency bands above 10 GHz), meeting the needs of future 5G high-frequency patterning insulation materials.

[0051] In order to make the above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more apparent, several embodiments are described in detail below, as follows:

[0092] Photosensitive composition property test

[0093] The photosensitive compositions (1) to (4) obtained were subjected to a photolithography process. The photolithography process included the following steps: the photosensitive compositions (1) to (4) were respectively coated on a substrate, and a soft-baking process was performed at 110°C for 2 minutes to obtain a thin film. Subsequently, a digital lithography technology (DLT) (wavelength: 405 nm, exposure amount: 800 mj / cm2) was used to perform exposure on the thin film, and a developing process was performed using an aqueous solution of 2.38% by weight of ammonium 2) The film was irradiated. Next, development was performed using a Microposit MF-319 developer system (manufactured by Rohm and Hass Electronic Materials LLC) for 60 seconds, and wet cleaning was performed using propylene glycol methyl ether acetate (PGMEA) for 30 seconds, and whether the photoetched cured layer was developable or not was observed, and if it was developable, O was recorded, and if it was not developable, X was recorded. Next, baking was performed at 160°C to obtain a cured product. Next, the dielectric coefficient (Dk) and the dielectric loss factor (Df) of the cured product of the photosensitive composition (1)-(4) obtained were measured, the thickness, the light transmittance, and the b* value, and the results are shown in Table 3. The dielectric coefficient (Dk) and the dielectric loss factor (Df) were measured using a microwave dielectrometer (purchased from AET Corporation) at a frequency of 10 GHz. The thickness was measured using optical microscopy (OM). The light transmittance was measured using visible light at a wavelength of 550 nm. The b* value was measured using the method specified in JIS-Z8722 0-45° method, double-beam cross-illumination method.

[0094] Table 3

[0095]

[0096] As shown in Table 3, since the photosensitive composition (4) of Comparative Example 1 could not be prepared into a film due to the molar ratio of BPADA (first dianhydride) and TAHQ (second dianhydride) of the polyimide used in Comparative Example 1 being 1:9. In addition, the photosensitive compositions (1)-(3) of Examples 1-3 could be baked at a lower temperature (about 160°C), which indicates that the photosensitive compositions of the present disclosure indeed have a lower film forming temperature. In addition, the films obtained after the photoetching process of the photosensitive compositions (1)-(3) of Examples 1-3 have a low dielectric constant (Dk) (less than 2.65) and a low dielectric loss (Df) (less than or equal to 0.0092) at high frequencies (10 GHz).

[0097] Next, the obtained photosensitive compositions (5)-(8) were subjected to a photolithography process, and the film formation temperature evaluation and resolution test were performed. The photolithography process included the following steps: the above photosensitive compositions (5)-(8) were coated on a substrate, respectively, and a soft-baking process was performed at 110°C for 2 minutes to obtain a thin film. Next, the thin film was irradiated with a broadband UV light source (wavelength: 250-405 nm, exposure amount: 500 mj / cm 2 ) using a broadband UV light source (wavelength: 250-405 nm, exposure amount: 500 mj / cm2). Next, the thin film was developed with a tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) aqueous solution (concentration: 2.38 wt%) developer for 60 seconds, and wet cleaned with propylene glycol methyl ether acetate (PGMEA) for 30 seconds. Next, baking was performed (the temperature range was adjusted to 160-250°C as required), and the lowest film formation temperature was recorded to obtain a cured product. The resolution test was represented by the minimum line width at which the dry film pattern after development of the photoresist could be clearly resolved, and the results are shown in Table 4. Next, the dielectric coefficient (Dk) and dielectric loss factor (Df) of the cured product of the obtained photosensitive compositions (5)-(8) were measured, and the results are shown in Table 4.

[0098] Table 4

[0099]

[0100] As shown in Table 4, since the dianhydride and diamine used to prepare the polyimides of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 were not the specific dianhydride and diamine described in the present disclosure, the obtained photosensitive compositions (7) and (8) had a higher film formation temperature (greater than 200°C), and the thin film obtained after the photolithography process of the photosensitive compositions (7) and (8) had a high dielectric loss (Df) (greater than 0.015) at high frequency (10 GHz). In addition, the photosensitive compositions (5) and (6) of Examples 4-5 could be baked at a lower temperature (about 160°C), which indicated that the photosensitive compositions described in the present disclosure indeed had a lower film formation temperature. Furthermore, the thin film obtained after the photolithography process of the photosensitive compositions (5) and (6) described in Examples 4-5 had a low dielectric constant (Dk) (less than 2.55) and a low dielectric loss (Df) (less than or equal to 0.0093) at high frequency (10 GHz).

[0101] Next, the obtained photosensitive compositions (9) and (10) were subjected to photolithography, and the film deposition temperature and resolution were evaluated. The photolithography process included the following steps: the above photosensitive compositions (9) and (10) were respectively coated on a substrate, and a pre-bake process was performed at 110°C for 2 minutes to obtain a thin film. Then, a digital lithography technology (DLT) was used (wavelength of 405nm, exposure amount of 800mJ / cm). 2 The film was then irradiated. Next, it was developed with a 2.38 wt% aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) for 60 seconds, and then wetted and cleaned with propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) for 30 seconds. Finally, it was baked at 160°C to obtain a cured product. Resolution was measured as the minimum linewidth at which the dry film pattern could be clearly resolved after photoresist development, and the results are shown in Table 5. Next, the dielectric constant (Dk) and dielectric loss factor (Df) of the cured photosensitive compositions (9) and (10) were measured, and the results are shown in Table 5.

[0102] Table 5

[0103]

[0104] As shown in Table 5, the photosensitive compositions (9) and (10) of Examples 6 and 7 can be baked at a lower temperature (about 160°C), indicating that the photosensitive compositions described in this disclosure do indeed have a lower film-forming temperature. Furthermore, the films obtained by photolithography of the photosensitive compositions (9) and (10) of Examples 6 and 7 have a low dielectric constant (Dk) (less than or equal to 2.81) and a low dielectric loss (Df) (less than or equal to 0.0097) at high frequencies (10 GHz).
