Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of lithography technology, and particularly to a modified phenolic resin having photo-thermal dual-curing properties, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Perovskite materials have excellent light trapping and light emission properties and are widely used in fields such as solar cells, photodetectors, lighting displays, etc. As a display material, perovskite quantum dots have the advantages of simple preparation process, high quantum efficiency, narrow emission band gap, wide color gamut, etc., and are attracting more and more attention from the scientific community and the business community. The manufacture of modern photonics and optoelectronic devices requires efficient and economical patterning processes. Currently, methods for patterning perovskite quantum dot materials include inkjet printing, laser direct writing, nanoimprinting, and direct lithography. Among them, lithography technology is one of the preferred methods for preparing future display materials due to its advantages such as high resolution, strong operability, and high throughput. Lithography technology uses ultraviolet light, electron beams, etc. to irradiate a photoresist, causing a change in its solubility in a developer, thereby achieving the patterning of perovskite quantum dots.

[0003] However, due to its strong ionic nature, high surface energy, and metastable structure, perovskite quantum dots are highly sensitive to the environment, which easily causes problems such as structural collapse, shape deformation, and rapid decline in quantum yield (QYs). Exposure of perovskite quantum dot materials to air will cause phase transformation, aggregation, and even degradation under the synergistic action of water and oxygen, resulting in luminescence quenching and further leading to a decrease in the efficiency of optoelectronic devices. In addition, traditional perovskite quantum dots use oleic acid and oleylamine as ligands during the preparation process. The ligands continuously adsorb and desorb on the surface of the quantum dots, and the chemical bond between oleylamine / oleic acid and the quantum dot surface is relatively weak, and it is easy to lose ligands during purification or use, resulting in aggregation and precipitation of perovskite quantum dots and a decrease in luminescence efficiency. Moreover, this ligand exchange will also cause rapid anion exchange when different halogen perovskite quantum dots come into contact, resulting in perovskite quantum dots with mixed halogen components and causing a shift in the emission wavelength.

[0004] Phenolic resin has advantages such as good stability, good insulation, mature synthesis process, and low cost, and is widely used in high-tech fields such as electronic packaging and aerospace. However, when existing phenolic resins are used for patterning perovskite quantum dot materials, the patterned perovskite quantum dots have problems of insufficient light stability.

[0106] The specific preparation method includes: Preparation of allyl phenolic resin FR: Add 0.5 mol of o-allylphenol, 15.0150 g of paraformaldehyde (0.5 mol in terms of structural unit), 200 mL of deionized water, and 10 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid (mass fraction of 36%) into a 500 mL round-bottom flask, and stir and react at 75 °C for 48 h. After the reaction is completed, extract with dichloromethane and water, collect the organic phase and dry it with anhydrous MgSO4. After evaporating the organic solvent to dryness by rotary evaporation, dry it at 50 °C to constant weight, and the yield is 92.3%.

[0107] Preparation of resin A: Add 29.4394 g of FR (about 0.20 mol of phenolic hydroxyl groups) and 0.06 mol of imidazole into a 500 mL round-bottom flask, and dissolve with 100 mL of anhydrous dichloromethane to form a homogeneous and transparent solution. Then, remove oxygen through three cycles of evacuation-inflation, and dropwise add 0.04 mol of dimethyldichlorosilane at 0 °C, and restore to room temperature for reaction for 12 h to obtain a stock solution containing resin A.

[0108] Preparation of modified phenolic resin with photo-thermal dual-curing performance: Add 0.02 - 0.04 mol of epichlorohydrin and 0.03 - 0.06 mol of imidazole into the above stock solution of resin A, and react at 70 °C for 6 h. After the reaction is completed, wash three times with dichloromethane and water, collect the organic phase and dry it with anhydrous MgSO4, filter with a vacuum pump to obtain the organic phase containing the product, evaporate the organic phase to dryness by rotary evaporation, and dry it in a vacuum drying oven at 50 °C to constant weight to obtain the preparation of modified phenolic resin with photo-thermal dual-curing performance, and the yield is 70% - 80%.

[0109] Among them, the main difference in the preparation of the modified phenolic resin with photo-thermal dual-curing performance corresponding to Examples 1 - 2 lies in the different dosages of epichlorohydrin and imidazole. The dosage of some materials and the product state corresponding to the preparation of the modified phenolic resin with photo-thermal dual-curing performance in each example are shown in Table 1.

[0111]

[0112] The 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra of the resin A, FROS-EP-1, and FROS-EP-2 prepared in this example are respectively as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it can be seen from the figure that epoxy functional groups are successfully grafted onto Resin A. FROS-EP-1 and FROS-EP-2 have different epoxy functional group contents. According to Figure 1 and Figure 2 characterization, the content of epoxy functional groups in FROS-EP-1 is lower than that in FROS-EP-2. The mass ratios of epoxy functional groups in FROS-EP-1 and FROS-EP-2 are approximately 1.75% and 3.5% respectively.

[0113] Example 3

[0114] This example provides a photoresist and its preparation method. The compositions of each photoresist are shown in Table 2.

[0115] The preparation of the photoresist includes: mixing each component, stirring and dissolving to form a clear and transparent solution.

[0117]

[0118] Example 4

[0119] This example provides a method for patterning perovskite quantum dots, which includes the following steps:

[0120] Spin-coat the prepared photoresist (2500 r / min, 30 s) on a clean glass slide, cover with a mask, and expose to 365 nm ultraviolet light for 10 s (152 mJ / cm 2 ), then develop with a developer to obtain the corresponding pattern; then place the photolithographed perovskite quantum dot film on a hot stage and heat-treat at 100 °C for 1 h.

[0121] Among them, in this example, the above patterning is respectively carried out using the 2 kinds of photoresists 3-1 and 3-2 in Example 3, and the pattern is obtained by developing in the developer acetone.

[0122] Comparative Example 1

[0123] Comparative Example 1 provides a photoresist and its preparation method. Referring to Example 3, the difference is that the composition of the photoresist is different.

[0124] The composition of the photoresist in Comparative Example 1 is shown in Table 3.

[0125] Table 3 Composition of the Photoresist in Comparative Example 1

[0126]

[0127] Comparative Example 1 provides a method for patterning perovskite quantum dots, which includes the following steps:

[0128] Spin coat the above-prepared photoresist (2500 r / min, 30 s) on a clean glass slide, cover it with a mask, and expose it to 365 nm ultraviolet light for 10 s (152 mJ / cm 2 ), then develop it with acetone to obtain the corresponding pattern.

[0129] Experimental Example

[0130] Spin coat the photoresist of Example 3 and the photoresist of Comparative Example 1 evenly (2500 r / min, 30 s) on a clean glass slide, and then expose it to 365 nm ultraviolet light for 10 s (152 mJ / cm 2 ), perform single photocuring to obtain the corresponding thin films respectively. Then place the obtained thin films under a blue light source with a brightness of about 3000 nit to test the blue light conversion. The test results are as Figure 3 shown. It can be seen from the figure that after single photocuring, there is no obvious difference in the blue light conversion of the photoresist of Example 3 and the photoresist of Comparative Example 1, PCE > 45%, CIEy > 0.72, indicating that the epoxy functional groups and polyamine substances introduced in the present invention do not affect photocuring.

[0131] Spin coat the photoresist of Example 3 and the photoresist of Comparative Example 1 evenly (2500 r / min, 30 s) on a clean glass slide, and then expose it to 365 nm ultraviolet light for 10 s (152 mJ / cm 2 ), then place the photolithographed perovskite quantum dot thin film on a hot stage and heat-treat it at 100 °C for 1 h to obtain the corresponding thin films respectively. Then place the obtained thin films under a blue light source with a brightness of about 3000 nit to test the blue light conversion. The test results are as Figure 4 shown. It can be seen from the figure that heat treatment causes the ripening and degradation of quantum dots, and there is no obvious difference in the blue light conversion of the photoresist of Example 3 and the photoresist of Comparative Example 1, PCE > 36%, CIEy > 0.74.

[0132] Further, place the above-mentioned films that have completed photo-thermal dual curing under a strong blue light of 150 mW / cm 2 for aging test, and at the same time test the sample of the photoresist of Comparative Example 1 that has undergone single photocuring as a control. After different strong blue light aging times, place it under a blue light source with a brightness of about 3000 nit to test the PCE and CIEy values, and the PVE and CIEy change conditions within 48 h are as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown. It can be seen from the figure that for the sample of the photoresist in Comparative Example 1 that only undergoes single photocuring, the PCE drops to 53% of the initial value after 24 hours of strong blue light irradiation. For the sample of the photoresist in Comparative Example 1 that undergoes photo-thermal dual curing, the PCE remains at 94.7% of the initial value after 24 hours of strong blue light irradiation. For the two photoresists in Example 3 after photo-thermal dual curing, the PCEs remain at 105% and 116% of the initial value respectively after 24 hours of strong blue light irradiation, and the CIEy values show the same trend of change. From the perspective of 48-hour stability, the sample of the photoresist numbered 3-1 in Example 3 has the highest stability after photo-thermal dual curing, and the corresponding PCE value and CIEy value are also the highest. Thus, it can be seen that by introducing an appropriate content of epoxy functional groups onto Resin A and cooperating with polyamine compounds, a photoresist with specific photo-thermal dual curing can be prepared, which can be used to improve the stability of perovskite quantum dots. The more the content of epoxy groups, the more crosslinking points there are, and a dense crosslinking network is formed during the thermal curing process. An appropriate dense crosslinking network is beneficial to preventing quantum dot aggregation, but an overly dense network space may limit the growth of quantum dots, resulting in more defects in quantum dots and poorer stability.
