Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of optoelectronic semiconductor technology, and more specifically, to photosensitive resin compounds, heat-resistant resins, photosensitive resin compositions, patterned films, and display devices. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the miniaturization of display light-emitting elements and semiconductor components, there is a growing demand for μm-level or even lower resolution and high sensitivity in surface protective films, interlayer insulating films, and pixel definition layers. Simultaneously, due to the requirements of manufacturing processes, high demands are placed on the heat resistance, electrical insulation, and chemical resistance of photosensitive materials. Therefore, highly photosensitive resin compositions derived from polyimide, polybenzoxazole, phenolic resins, and other materials with inherently good heat resistance and electrical insulation have received widespread attention and application in this field, especially positive photosensitive resin compositions where the exposed portion dissolves in alkaline aqueous solutions after ultraviolet light exposure.

[0003] Currently, a common method is to add a photosensitizing, solubility-inhibiting compound—diazonaphthoquinone—to a heat-resistant resin or its precursor that has good solubility in alkaline solutions. This inhibits the dissolution of unexposed areas in the alkaline solution through hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and alkaline-catalytic coupling of the diazononaphthoquinone group. After exposure, the diazononaphthoquinone group decomposes, transforming into carboxyl groups, thus eliminating the solubility inhibition and increasing the solubility of the exposed area. Examples include resin compositions containing diazononaphthoquinone in polyamic acid and resin compositions containing diazononaphthoquinone in hydroxyl-containing polyimides. Furthermore, to improve the solubility contrast between the shaded and exposed areas and reduce exposure, phenolic compounds are often added to the resin system. However, the introduction of diazononaphthoquinone, hydroxyl groups, and phenolic compounds can easily lead to decreased heat resistance and chemical resistance of the cured film after heat treatment, and an difficulty in balancing film thinning and exposure during development.

[0036] The first aspect of this invention provides a compound for photosensitive resins, said compound having any one of the following general formulas (I), (II), and (III).

[0037]

[0038] In the structural formulas (I), (II), and (III), R1 represents any one or more of hydrogen atoms and alkyl groups with ≥1 carbon atom; R2 represents any one or more of hydrogen atoms, alkyl groups with ≥1 carbon atom, alkoxy groups, hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups, and fluorine, chlorine, and bromine substituents; R3 represents any one or more of hydrogen atoms, alkyl groups with ≥1 carbon atom, alkoxy groups with ≥1 carbon atom, and fluorine, chlorine, and bromine substituents; p represents an integer from 0 to 3; q represents an integer from 0 to 1; S represents a linking group, wherein the linking group contains not less than 6 carbon atoms, and the linking group contains at least one fused ring structure of an alicyclic ring and / or an aromatic ring.

[0050] Compounds with fused ring structures containing alicyclic and / or aromatic rings are beneficial for improving the heat resistance and chemical resistance of photosensitive resins. In addition, the formation or opening of lactone groups can further improve the sensitivity of photosensitive resins to light. Furthermore, the introduction of functional groups such as sulfone, sulfoxide, thioether, siloxane bonds, and hexafluoropropyl groups into heat-resistant resins can also improve the light transmittance or adhesion of photosensitive resins.

[0051] The preparation method of the photosensitive resin compound provided in the first aspect of the present invention is not limited, and examples can be given: In a high-boiling solvent such as thiobenzene, N-methylpyrrolidone, butyrolactone, a benzocyclobutene compound or other di(enephilic) structure compound exhibiting a Diels-Alder reaction is mixed with a nitro-substituted coumarin compound in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:2 to 1:4, and heated at 50 to 250°C for 24 to 72 hours to obtain a dinitro compound via a Diels-Alder reaction. Alternatively, in a high-boiling solvent such as toluene, xylene, N-methylpyrrolidone, butyrolactone, a silane or thiol is added to a double bond compound formed by a Diels-Alder addition reaction of a nitro-substituted coumarin compound and cyclopentadiene to obtain a dinitro compound. The dinitro compound is then reduced with hydrogen under palladium on carbon (Pd / C) or Raney nickel catalysis to obtain the corresponding diamine compound. The specific reaction conditions are as follows: using methanol, ethanol, acetone, N-methylformamide, N-methyldiamide, γ-butyrolactone, propylene glycol methyl ether, or N,N-dimethylpyrrolidone as solvents, the dinitro compound is dissolved in the solvent. 0.1%–1% of the dinitro compound is added to 5–10 wt% Pd / C with stirring. Hydrogen gas is introduced, and the pressure can be controlled within atmospheric pressure to 10 atmospheres. The reaction is carried out at 20–50°C for 5–48 hours. Pd / C is then removed by filtration, and the filtrate is concentrated by rotary evaporation to obtain a diamine compound with a lactone group, as shown in general formula (I). The diamine compound containing the lactone group is hydrolyzed under alkaline conditions to obtain diamine compounds with general formulas (II) and (III), wherein the alkaline reagent can be NaOH or sodium alkoxide solution, and the reaction is carried out for 5-48 hours; then the pH value is adjusted to weak acidity, and the filtrate is concentrated by rotary evaporation.

[0052] The corresponding process is shown in the following formula:

[0053]

[0054]

[0055] R1, R2, R3, X, and Y in the process are the same as described above. In the hydrolysis step of the process, the lactone group undergoes complete or partial hydrolysis and ring-opening, which can be achieved by controlling the hydrolysis time. In other words, the process formula only shows a portion of the hydrolysis products and is not intended to limit the scope of this invention.

[0056] Alternatively, the dinitro compound can be obtained by direct reduction of iron or zinc powder in an acidic system. The iron or zinc powder used is 5-50 molar equivalents. The acid can be hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, methanesulfonic acid, or trifluoroformic acid, preferably 10 wt% hydrochloric acid. The pH is adjusted to 1-5, and the reaction is carried out at 60-100°C for 8-24 hours. The pH is then adjusted to weakly acidic, and the filtrate is concentrated by rotary evaporation. During this process, the lactone group is simultaneously hydrolyzed to obtain a diamine compound with general formula (II) or general formula (III).

[0057] <Heat-resistant resin>

[0058] A second aspect of the present invention provides a heat-resistant resin formed from the photosensitive resin compound provided in the first aspect of the present invention. Considering heat resistance, practicality, and ease of synthesis, the heat-resistant resin is preferably a copolymer of polyimide and a polyimide precursor, namely polyamic acid, obtained by polymerization of tetracarboxylic dianhydride and diamine, and has a structural formula including one or more repeating units shown in general formulas (Ⅳ), (Ⅴ), or (Ⅵ):

R4 is preferably methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, or a fluorinated alkyl group.

[0061] Furthermore, the repeating unit containing R4 accounts for 40–100 mol% of the total repeating unit of the polyimide resin precursor. This value indicates the degree of imidization. If the degree of imidization is too high when used in a photosensitive resin composition, it will lead to poor film properties. The repeating unit containing R4 as a hydrogen atom accounts for 30–100 mol% of the total repeating unit containing R4. The higher the value, the higher the carboxyl group content on the resin, and the better the solubility in alkaline developer when used in a photosensitive resin composition.

Q in general formulas (Ⅳ), (Ⅴ), or (Ⅵ) represents a residue of the tetracarboxylic acid diester diacyl chloride, which can be prepared from the corresponding acid anhydride via two steps: esterification and acyl chloride. The reaction process is a conventional tetracarboxylic acid diester diacyl chloride preparation process: first, the tetracarboxylic acid anhydride reacts with an alcohol to obtain a diester dicarboxyl compound; second, the diester dicarboxyl compound is exchanged with sulfoxide or an acyl chloride compound to obtain the corresponding tetracarboxylic acid diester diacyl chloride compound.

[0064] Further, D represents a diamine residue, wherein 10–100 mol% of D is a residue of any one or more compounds of general formulas (I), (II), and (III), preferably 40–100 mol%, more preferably 60–100 mol%, and even more preferably 80–100 mol%, which is beneficial for improving the heat resistance, mechanical properties, thermal stability, and permeability of the resin.

At the same time, after heat treatment, it reacts with hydroxyl, carboxyl and other groups on the resin backbone to form a cross-linked structure, thereby improving the thermal stability of the cured film and reducing its hygroscopicity.

[0089] The negative photosensitive resin composition provided in the fourth aspect of this invention may further include compounds containing two or more epoxy groups, with the aim of controlling the thermal reflow and crosslinking properties of the heat-resistant resin, and obtaining the desired positive conical pattern after the curing process.

[0090] For the positive photosensitive resin composition provided in the third aspect of this invention and the negative photosensitive resin composition provided in the fourth aspect of this invention, additives can be introduced to improve the adhesion and film-forming properties of the resin film to the substrate. The additives include adhesion promoters and surfactants; wherein the adhesion promoter is preferably a silane coupling agent, including one or more combinations of methacryloyloxydimethoxymethylsilane, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, vinyltrimethoxysilane, and vinyltriacryloyloxysilane; the amount of adhesion promoter added is 0.003 to 0.200% of the mass of the heat-resistant resin.

[0091] The solvents in the positive photosensitive resin compositions provided in the third aspect of this invention and the negative photosensitive resin compositions provided in the fourth aspect of this invention are selected from solvents with a boiling point below 230°C, preferably solvents with a boiling point of 100-230°C. If the solvent boiling point is too high, it is not conducive to subsequent drying into a wet film; if the solvent boiling point is too low, the solvent evaporates too quickly during the drying process after coating, easily leading to film-forming defects. Solvents include, but are not limited to, one or more combinations of N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, γ-butyrolactone, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol dimethyl ether, propylene glycol, n-butanol, cyclohexanone, ethyl lactate, and butyl lactate; the amount of solvent added is 1-50 times the mass of the heat-resistant resin, more preferably 3-30 times the mass of the heat-resistant resin.

[0092] Patterned film

[0093] The fifth aspect of the present invention provides a patterned film, which is obtained by curing the positive photosensitive resin composition provided in the third aspect of the present invention and the negative photosensitive resin composition provided in the fourth aspect of the present invention. Specifically, it can be obtained by coating, drying, exposure, development and curing, but is not limited thereto.

[0094] The coating step involves applying the photosensitive resin composition onto a substrate. Examples of coating methods include spin coating, spray coating, blade coating, screen coating, and slot coating. Depending on the coating method and the composition, viscosity, and solid content of the composition used, the thickness of the dried film is typically 0.1 to 50 micrometers, preferably 0.5 to 50 micrometers. Examples of substrates include silicon wafers, ceramics, gallium arsenide substrates, organic circuit boards, inorganic circuit boards, and substrates on which circuitry is disposed, but are not limited to these.

[0095] For the drying step, the drying temperature is 70–130℃, such as 70–100℃ or 100–130℃; the drying time is 1–5 minutes. Drying is carried out using ovens, heating plates, infrared ovens, etc., at a temperature range of 40℃ to 80℃ for 1 to 10 minutes or through a phased temperature-programmed drying process, the purpose of which is to evaporate the organic solvents.

[0096] For the exposure step, the dried substrate is irradiated with photochemical rays through a mask to photocur the exposed areas of the photosensitive layer. These photochemical rays include electromagnetic waves and particle beams, such as ultraviolet light, X-rays, electron beams, radiation, and ion beams. The light source is not particularly limited and can be, for example, a low-pressure mercury lamp, a high-pressure mercury lamp, an ultra-high-pressure mercury lamp, an ambient lamp, a carbon rod arc lamp, or a metal halide lamp. The exposure apparatus may include a reduction projection type exposure apparatus, a mask aligner, or a mirror projection type exposure apparatus.

[0097] In the development step, the exposed substrate is developed in a developing solution for patterning. For positive photosensitive resin compositions, the exposed portion dissolves due to the photoacid-generating agent; for negative photosensitive resin compositions, the unexposed portion dissolves. The developing solution can use polar organic solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, γ-butyrolactone, etc., and solvents mixed with water, but from an environmental perspective, an alkaline aqueous solution is preferred. The selected alkaline aqueous solution developer includes, but is not limited to, aqueous solutions of tetramethylammonium hydroxide, triethylamine, diethanolamine, dimethylaminoethanol, ethylenediamine, cyclohexylamine, hexamethylenediamine, diethylaminoethanol, methylamine, dimethylamine, etc., with a further preferred option being a 2.38 wt% aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide. Development can be performed by directly or by misting the developing solution onto the coated surface, or by immersion in the developing solution. The development time is controlled between 5 s and 600 s, preferably between 5 s and 300 s, depending on the film thickness. After development, when using an alkaline aqueous solution as the developer, it is preferable to use water as the rinsing agent to clean the patterned film and then perform fixing treatment.

[0098] For the curing step, the developed film is heat-treated in a curing oven to completely transform the composition into a heat-resistant film. The heat treatment temperature is preferably 100°C to 400°C; more preferably 150°C to 300°C; particularly preferably 150°C to 250°C. The heat treatment time is controlled from 10 minutes to several hours, more preferably 30 minutes or more and 300 minutes or less; particularly preferably 30 minutes or more and 200 minutes or less. Simultaneously, multi-stage heat treatment can be performed, such as heat curing at 150°C for 30 minutes, followed by heat curing at 250°C for 30 minutes.

The organic electroluminescent element includes, but is not limited to, flexible displays such as OLEDs and TFT-LCDs.

[0196] Table 3 Evaluation indicators of the photosensitive resin compositions obtained in Examples 2-19 and Comparative Examples 1-4

[0197]

[0198] <Evaluation Methods for Photosensitive Resin Compositions>

[0199] (1) Imaging capability evaluation: After exposure, development and cleaning of the films obtained in each embodiment and comparative example, the state of etched lines or grooves was detected by SEM. The best result is that lines or grooves with a width of less than 5 μm can still be clearly etched without bending or defects; the good result is that lines or grooves with a width of 5 to 10 μm can be clearly etched without bending or defects; the poor result is that only lines or grooves with a width of more than 10 μm can be clearly etched without bending or defects.

[0200] (2) Sensitivity assessment

[0201] Using an ACT-8 coating and developing apparatus (manufactured by Tokyo Electron Limited), the photosensitive resin composition slurry was coated onto a 6-inch silicon wafer via spin coating and pre-baked at 120°C for 2 minutes. Exposure was performed using an i-line stepper. After exposure, development was performed using a 2.38 wt% tetramethylammonium (TMAH) aqueous solution for 60 seconds, followed by rinsing with pure water and spin drying. The lowest exposure value D at which the exposed portion completely dissolved was taken as the sensitivity.

[0202] (3) Adhesion evaluation: The patterned film that has been developed was observed with an optical microscope (OLS5000) to see if the lines were peeling off. Peeling off when the line width is ≤2μm was designated as A, peeling off when the line width is 2μm < line width ≤10μm was designated as B, peeling off when the line width is 10μm < line width ≤20μm was designated as C, and peeling off when the line width is >20μm was designated as D.

[0203] (4) Light transmittance (T%)

[0204] The cured films prepared in the aforementioned embodiments and comparative examples were tested using an Agilent UV-Vis spectrophotometer Cary 4000 in transmission mode.

[0205] (5)Residual film rate

[0206] The thickness of the film obtained in each embodiment and comparative example is d1, and the thickness of the corresponding film after development and heat treatment is d2. The residual film rate is calculated as: d2 / d1*100%. A residual film rate of more than 70% after heat treatment is preferred, a residual film rate of 50-70% after heat treatment is good, and a residual film rate of less than 50% after heat treatment is inferior.

[0207] (6) Water absorption

[0208] The cured films (mass greater than 0.5 g) prepared in each example and comparative example were placed in a sealed environment with a relative humidity of 60% for 72 h, and the weight change of the film samples before and after placement was measured. A = (W-W0) / W0×100%, where W A The value W represents the water absorption rate, W represents the weight after water absorption, and W0 represents the weight before water absorption. A <0.5% is considered excellent, 0.5% <W A <1.5% is considered good, W A >1.5% is considered poor.

[0209] (7) Heat resistance

[0210] The cured films prepared in each example and comparative example were analyzed using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA, NETZSCH STA2500 Regulus) to determine the residual weight ratio (R) of the samples at 400 degrees Celsius. 400 ). With R 400 >80% is considered excellent, 75% is considered good. <R 400 <80% is considered good, R 400 <75% is considered poor.

[0211] (8) Chemical resistance

[0212] The cured films (area greater than 5*5cm, thickness 2μm) prepared in each example and comparative example were placed in [a specific environment] for 72h, and the film thickness change of the film samples before and after immersion in N-methylpyrrolidone at 40℃ for 120s was measured. ΔTHK=(THK1-THK0) / THK0×100%, where ΔTHK represents the film thickness change rate, THK1 represents the film thickness after immersion, and THK represents the film thickness before immersion. [The text then abruptly shifts to a different topic:] Using W [a specific unit of measurement]... A <1% is considered excellent, 1% <W A <2% is considered good, W A >2% is considered poor.
