Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of high molecular polymers, and in particular relates to a method for preparing a poly (4-hydroxystyrene) polymer. Background Art

[0002] Photoresist refers to a corrosion-resistant thin film material whose solubility changes through irradiation and radiation of ultraviolet light, electron beam, particle beam, X-ray, etc. It is generally composed of film-forming resin, photoinitiator, solvent, monomer, etc. Among them, film-forming resin is the most important component of photoresist, which determines the basic properties of photoresist such as adhesion, chemical corrosion resistance, and film thickness. Poly(4-hydroxystyrene) polymers can be used for photolithography in a shorter wavelength range due to their low deep ultraviolet light absorption rate; and they have high sensitivity and high resolution, which can prepare more delicate patterns. It has become a special film-forming resin for 248nm deep ultraviolet photoresist. The chromaticity of the film-forming resin has a great influence on the sensitivity of the photoresist product. The darker the resin color, the worse the sensitivity of the photoresist, and it is inevitable to increase the exposure energy or extend the exposure time, thereby affecting production efficiency and production capacity.

[0003] US invention patent US4028340A discloses a method for preparing p-vinylphenol polymers, using 4-hydroxystyrene as a starting monomer and using free radical polymerization to prepare poly (4-hydroxystyrene). The monomers used in this process are prone to self-polymerization at room temperature, and the product obtained by free radical polymerization has a low conversion rate and a wide molecular weight distribution. The residual monomers need to be processed, and the product contains quinone ketone colored byproducts and exhibits a reddish brown color, which cannot meet the performance requirements of deep ultraviolet light.

[0004] Japanese invention patent JP2002241429A discloses a method for preparing poly(p-vinylphenol), using 4-tert-butoxystyrene as a basic monomer and sec-butyl lithium as an initiator, polymerizing to obtain a poly(4-tert-butoxystyrene) solid, and then using an acid for deprotection treatment to obtain a poly(4-hydroxystyrene) solid. Compared with the direct polymerization process, the synthesis process has a greatly improved conversion rate and a narrower molecular weight distribution, but due to the use of a metal catalyst in the synthesis process, it is inevitable that there is a large amount of residual metal, and the product color is light reddish brown, which affects the use.

[0005] Chinese invention patent CN105924553A discloses a method for preparing a polyhydroxystyrene polymer with a narrow molecular weight distribution, wherein acetoxystyrene monomer is polymerized by ATRP active radical polymerization to synthesize a polyacetoxystyrene polymer with a narrow molecular weight distribution; then, an esterification reaction occurs under the catalysis of dilute hydrochloric acid to remove the acetoxy protecting group to obtain a poly(p-hydroxystyrene) polymer, and then ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid is used to remove metal impurities in the resin. However, in the ATRP active radical polymerization process, this method uses an organic bromide as an initiator and a copper salt halide as a catalyst, which easily causes product coloring. The product often appears in reddish brown, which affects the product sensitivity.

[0006] Therefore, how to prepare poly(4-hydroxystyrene) polymers with low chroma and high transmittance is still a problem that needs to be solved urgently and is of great significance. Summary of the invention

[0053] Test Case

[0054] Based on Examples 1-8 and Comparative Examples 1-8, the molecular weight, conversion rate, chromaticity (Hazen), and metal residue of the prepared polymers were measured:

[0055] (1) Weight average molecular weight Mw and molecular weight distribution PDI: tested by GPC;

[0056] (2) Test and calculation of conversion rate: Weigh the mass a (g) of the iron box on a precision balance, add b (1.00 ± 0.05 g) of the test liquid into the iron box, place it in a 150°C oven for 2 h, take it out of the oven and place it in a drying oven to cool to room temperature, weigh the total mass of the test liquid and the iron box after drying as c (g), and calculate the actual solid content (NV) according to the formula 实 %)=(ca) / b×100%;Divide the theoretical solid content by the actual solid content, and calculate the conversion rate % according to the formula=NV 实 % / NV 理 %×100%;

[0057] (3) Chroma (Hazen): The sample was dissolved in the solvent propylene glycol methyl ether acetate to prepare a solution with a mass fraction of 40%. The solution was tested using a transmission colorimeter.

[0058] (4) Gold impurity content (ppt): tested by ICP-MS;

[0059] Table 1 shows the final measured results:

[0060] Table 1

[0061]

[0062] It can be seen from Table 1 that the polymer prepared in the example has better chroma and lower metal impurity content.

[0063] By comparing Examples 1, 7-8 and Comparative Examples 1-2, it can be seen that the number of cleaning times is too few and the degree of cleaning is not enough to reduce the chromaticity to below 30; when the number of cleaning times is 8 times, the chromaticity is higher than that of Example 1. This is because the excessive number of cleaning times and the long-term contact with the air cause oxidation of the product, so the chromaticity of the product is darker.

[0064] Comparing Examples 1-3, it can be seen that the selection of solvents and non-metallic catalysts has little effect on the color of the product.

[0065] By comparing Examples 1, 4-6 and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that when a high concentration of acid solution or alkaline solution is used, the product has a high chromaticity. This is mainly because the acid solution or alkaline solution is high, the deprotection reaction is violent, and it is easily affected by oxygen oxidation in a short time, resulting in a high chromaticity of the product.

[0066] By comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that due to the lack of high-temperature annihilation treatment, the non-metallic catalyst remains in the resin, the resin conversion rate is low, and while deprotecting, the residual non-metallic catalyst causes the resin molecular chain to continue to grow. The molecular weight obtained by testing is larger than the designed value, which will cause differences in the performance of the resin when formulated into a photoresist.

[0067] By comparing Example 1 and Comparative Examples 5-6, it can be seen that the metal impurity content of the samples polymerized using metal catalysts is significantly higher than that of the samples polymerized using non-metallic catalysts. After four washes, the metal impurities in Comparative Example 5 are still much higher than those of the samples polymerized using non-metallic catalysts. The metal catalyst is more obviously colored than the non-metallic catalyst, and after washing, the chroma is also significantly higher than that of other examples.

[0068] Comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 7 shows that excessively high drying temperature and prolonged drying will aggravate the oxidation reaction of the resin, thereby causing the chromaticity of the resin to deepen.

[0069] By comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 8, it can be seen that the deionized water amount lower than the set ratio cannot fully play the role of cleaning, so that the resin chromaticity cannot be reduced to less than 30, and a large amount of metal impurities remain.

[0070] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the protection scope of the invention.
