Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of photocuring and anti-corrosion coatings, and particularly to a photosensitive resin composition suitable for dual-wavelength exposure. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the miniaturization of the wiring pitch of printed circuit boards, more and more manufacturers use laser direct imaging exposure machines for exposure production. As a maskless exposure light source, most laser direct imaging exposure machines use lasers with a wavelength range of 350 nm - 410 nm, especially 355 nm and 405 nm laser light sources, which are widely used in laser direct imaging exposure machines. Correspondingly, the anti-corrosion dry films designed for laser direct imaging exposure machines are also divided into anti-corrosion dry films suitable for 355 nm and 405 nm exposures. Therefore, users need to purchase anti-corrosion dry films suitable for different exposure wavelengths for different exposure machines.
[0003] During the actual production process using anti-corrosion dry films, it is necessary to identify the applicable exposure wavelength corresponding to the anti-corrosion dry film, which increases the identification process and there is a risk of wasting raw materials and working hours due to incorrect identification. If there is an anti-corrosion dry film applicable to both 355 nm and 405 nm laser light sources, the identification process for the applicable wavelength of the dry film during use can be reduced, and the waste of raw materials and working hours caused by incorrect identification can also be effectively reduced.
[0004] In addition, from the perspective of the exposure process, when using a 355 nm light source for exposure, the absorbance is high, the exposure sensitivity of the dry film is high, and there is a good curing effect at a lower exposure energy; when using a 405 nm light source for exposure, the absorbance is low, and more light reaches the bottom of the anti-corrosion dry film. Therefore, there is a tendency for the adhesion to be improved.
[0005] With the further requirement of miniaturization of anti-corrosion patterns, new exposure technologies may emerge. If two lasers with wavelengths of 350 nm - 370 nm and 390 nm - 410 nm are used for exposure simultaneously, the advantages of both high absorbance and low absorbance can be taken into account. However, the anti-corrosion dry films designed for laser direct imaging exposure machines in the past are all designed to exhibit good performance for a specific single wavelength (such as 355 nm or 405 nm wavelength), and cannot be applied to the process of simultaneous exposure with two different wavelength lasers.
[0006] Patent CN106909026A discloses a resist composition capable of directly depicting exposure imaging. The composition contains a photopolymerizable component, a photoinitiator, and an alkali-soluble copolymer resin. This patent claims that the composition can have comprehensive properties such as high sensitivity, high resolution, and good stripping characteristics at both 355 nm and 405 nm. However, the examples of this patent do not verify that the composition has good properties at both 355 nm and 405 nm wavelengths. In fact, the composition of this patent cannot achieve good exposure sensitivity at both 355 nm and 405 nm wavelengths.
[0007] Patent CN110446976A discloses a photosensitive resin composition, claiming that the invention can be used for dual-wavelength exposure and can impart excellent exposure sensitivity, adhesion, and resolution. Although this patent achieves the effect of being applicable to exposure at both 355 nm and 405 nm exposure wavelengths, its exposure sensitivity is low and no longer meets the requirements of the current PCB production industry for high sensitivity of laser direct imaging resist dry film.
[0008] In view of this, there is an urgent need in the art for a new photosensitive resin composition applicable to two different exposure wavelength bands of 350 nm - 370 nm and 390 nm - 410 nm. Summary of the Invention
[0009] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a new photosensitive resin composition applicable to two different exposure wavelength bands. This photosensitive resin composition can be exposed in two bands. The first wavelength range is 350 nm - 370 nm, and the second wavelength range is 390 nm - 410 nm. This photosensitive resin composition also has excellent exposure sensitivity, resolution, adhesion, and stripping fragmentation resistance.
[0010] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0151] For the photosensitive resin laminates of Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-6, after the lamination process, the exposure process was carried out using a 355 nm light source and a 405 nm light source respectively, and the energy value corresponding to the maximum remaining order of 20 levels was used as the exposure energy. The exposure pattern was a line with a fixed line pitch of 500 μm and a line width ranging from 10 μm to 100 μm. After the development process, the minimum line width of the resist layer line formed normally was used as the value of the adhesion, and the classification was carried out according to the following criteria:
[0152] ○ (Good): The adhesion value is less than or equal to 30 μm.
[0153] △ (Acceptable): The adhesion value is greater than 30 μm and less than 50 μm.

[0155] 4.4 Evaluation of peeling and fragmentation
[0156] For the photosensitive resin laminates of Examples 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-6, after the lamination process, the exposure process was carried out using a 355 nm light source and a 405 nm light source respectively, and the energy value corresponding to the maximum remaining order of 20 levels was used as the exposure energy. The exposure pattern was a square with a side length of 10 cm. After the development process, the square cured pattern with a side length of 10 cm together with the substrate was cut off with scissors and placed in a beaker containing 3% NaOH aqueous solution, and the film removal experiment was carried out by ultrasonic oscillation. After the square cured pattern was completely peeled off from the copper layer of the substrate, the fragmentation situation of the square pattern of the cured resist layer was observed, and the classification was carried out according to the following criteria:
[0157] ○ (Good): The cured resist layer pattern is completely fragmented or the number of broken holes is greater than or equal to 10.
[0158] △ (Acceptable): The number of broken holes in the cured resist layer pattern is less than 10 and greater than 3.
[0159] × (Poor): The number of broken holes in the cured resist layer pattern is less than or equal to 3 or there is no fragmentation at all.
[0160] Table 5 Performance evaluation results
[0161]
[0162] As can be seen from Table 5, Examples 1-2 showed good performance in terms of exposure sensitivity, resolution, adhesion, and peelability, while Comparative Examples 1-6 were inferior to Examples 1-2 in some aspects of exposure sensitivity, resolution, adhesion, and peelability. The photosensitive resin composition and the photosensitive resin laminate can be simultaneously applied to 355 nm and 405 nm exposure machines, and are widely used in the manufacture of resist patterns, printed circuit boards, conductor patterns, lead frame lines, and semiconductor packages, and can effectively avoid production accidents caused by misidentification of the applicable wavelength type of dry film.
[0163] In addition, with the development of exposure technology in the future, the photosensitive resin composition and the photosensitive resin laminate can also be exposed using both 355 nm and 405 nm lasers simultaneously, taking into account the advantages of both high absorbance and low absorbance, and manufacturing resist patterns with higher precision.
