Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photosensitive resin compositions, and particularly relates to a positive photosensitive resin composition and a method for preparing a cured pattern. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the miniaturization and high performance of various electronic devices such as personal computers, digital cameras, and mobile phones, the requirements for further miniaturization, thinning, and high density of semiconductor elements have also been rapidly increasing. Therefore, it is desired to develop a photosensitive insulating material that can cope with the increase in the substrate area during the process of improving productivity and that is fine and has a high aspect ratio on the substrate in high-density mounting technologies such as chip scale package or chip level package (CSP) or three-dimensional stacking.
[0003] In high-density mounting technologies such as three-dimensional stacking, as a photosensitive insulating material capable of forming a pattern on a substrate, it is required to have more excellent heat resistance (such as coefficient of thermal expansion), mechanical properties (such as fracture strength, elongation at break, etc.). As an insulating layer material having such characteristics, an alkali-soluble resin polymer has been developed.
[0004] In the existing improvement of the development of positive resin compositions, if the amount of photoacid generator used is increased, free acid will be generated during the subsequent heat curing process of the resin, which will corrode the metal substrate; if the amount of small molecule dissolution promoter used is increased, cracks are likely to appear in the film during curing after development.

[0169]
[0170] Compared with Comparative Example 1, in Example 2 under the same conditions of the alkaline polymer resin, two crosslinking compounds B2 and B3 and two phenolic diazonaphthoquinone sulfonate compounds C1 and C2 were used in Example 2, while one crosslinking compound B2 and one phenolic diazonaphthoquinone sulfonate compound C1 were used in Comparative Example 1. The film retention rate of Example 2 was 89%, and there was no cracking. The film retention rate of Comparative Example 1 was 81%, and cracking with cracks less than 1 / 3 of the opening spacing occurred. Similarly, there were also comparisons between Example 1 and 2 with Comparative Example 2, Example 3 with Comparative Example 1, Example 7 with Comparative Example 3, and Example 9 and 10 with Comparative Example 4. Three crosslinking compounds and two phenolic diazonaphthoquinone sulfonate compounds were used in Example 6, and the effect was also better than that of Comparative Examples 1 - 4.
[0171] It can be seen from Examples 1 - 10 and Comparative Examples 1 - 4 that the film retention rates of Examples 1 - 10 are all higher than those of Comparative Examples 1 - 4, up to 94% at most, and there is no cracking in the lithography patterns of Examples 1 - 10, while there are cracks in the photoresist patterns of Comparative Examples 1 - 4.
