Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of photosensitive resin compositions, in particular, relates to a photosensitive resin composition, a photosensitive dry film, a cured film, a printed circuit board and a display module. BACKGROUND

[0002] In electronic products, a solder resist layer is usually required to be covered on a printed circuit board (PCB) as a permanent protective film, which not only prevents the circuit from corrosion and disconnection and short circuit between lines caused by too many soldering points, but also inhibits corrosion of the circuit substrate. The solder resist layer material is generally formed by a photosensitive resin composition after exposure and development to form a solder resist pattern, and then cured by heating. In order to play a permanent protective role and meet the subsequent PCB process, the solder resist layer material needs to have excellent heat resistance, hardness, scratch resistance, acid and alkali resistance, solvent resistance, cold and hot impact resistance, and warpage prevention, etc. At the same time, it also needs to have good exposure performance and alkali development ability.

[0003] In order to ensure the appearance of the solder resist layer, pigments and color powders are often added to change the color of the solder resist layer. However, some PCB products require a matte effect, which will affect the exposure performance of the solder resist layer, especially for black matte solder resist layer. The solder resist layer generally requires a high exposure energy, and the increase of exposure energy will also increase the exposure time, thereby seriously reducing the production efficiency of the solder resist layer. In addition, due to incomplete deep curing of the photosensitive resin composition, it will not only cause serious side etching and reduce the adhesion and windowing performance after development, but also cause problems such as plating leakage, solder resist layer blistering, warping and peeling in the subsequent process, thereby seriously affecting the performance of the PCB.

[0004] At present, the photosensitivity can be improved by increasing the content of photoinitiator in the photosensitive resin composition system, which can significantly reduce the exposure energy. However, as a small molecular compound, the photoinitiator will precipitate in the subsequent PCB nickel plating process, causing pollution of the nickel plating solution, thereby requiring frequent replacement of the solution, resulting in increased cost. At the same time, excessive photoinitiator in the photosensitive resin composition will also lead to reduced performance of the solder resist layer after photothermal curing. For the problem of side etching in the windowing area of the final solder resist layer caused by incomplete deep curing during photocuring, the use of high refractive index nano-inorganic fillers or modification of the photosensitive resin can improve the refractive index to achieve consistency of surface and deep curing. However, the high refractive index inorganic nano-filler is currently expensive and has poor dispersion effect in the resin and is prone to agglomeration. Modification of the photosensitive resin not only increases the process flow, but also increases the cost. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to provide a photosensitive resin composition, a photosensitive dry film, a cured film, a circuit board and a display module to solve the problems of low photosensitivity, long exposure time, uneven curing of surface layer and deep layer and long heat curing time of the prior art photosensitive resin composition.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0018] As analyzed in the background art of the present application, the photosensitive resin composition in the prior art has the problems of low photosensitivity, long exposure time, uneven curing of the surface layer and deep layer, and long thermal curing time. In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a photosensitive resin composition, a photosensitive dry film, a cured film, a circuit board and a display module.

[0019] In a typical embodiment of the present application, a photosensitive resin composition is provided, which comprises, in parts by weight: 100-115 parts of alkali-soluble resin, 5-20 parts of photopolymerization monomer, 3-10 parts of end thiol-containing ester compound, 1-5 parts of photoinitiator, and 10-30 parts of epoxy resin; wherein the epoxy resin comprises sulfur-containing epoxy resin.

[0020] The photosensitive resin composition of the present application uses alkali-soluble resin as the base, and adds photopolymerization monomer and photoinitiator to enable the photosensitive resin composition to undergo polymerization reaction under light; the end thiol-containing ester compound can act as a monomer component to react with olefinic unsaturated bond, thereby improving the photosensitivity of the photosensitive resin composition, and also reducing the energy of the photosensitive resin composition in the photo-curing process, thereby significantly reducing the exposure time of the photo-curing process; the sulfur-containing epoxy resin as the thermal curing component in the photosensitive resin composition produces mercapto group (-SH) or sulfur negative ion (S - ) can promote the ring opening of epoxy groups, thereby promoting the curing reaction of epoxy resin with curing agent and alkali-soluble resin, and further improving the crosslinking network structure density, modulus and glass transition temperature of the cured photosensitive resin composition. By controlling the types and contents of the components of the photosensitive resin composition of the present application within the above ranges, the surface layer and deep layer of the cured film can be uniformly cured even if the curing time is short in the photo-curing and thermal curing process, and the photosensitivity, heat resistance and good developing performance are also high.

[0021] In an embodiment of the present application, the mass ratio of the terminal mercaptan-containing ester compound and the photopolymerization monomer is 0.1-0.5:1; in order to further improve the photosensitivity and curing uniformity of the photosensitive resin composition, preferably, the weight fraction of the terminal mercaptan-containing ester compound is 4-7 parts, and / or, the weight fraction of the epoxy resin is 15-25 parts.

[0022] Preferably, the mass ratio of the terminal mercaptan-containing ester compound and the photopolymerization monomer is controlled in the above range, which is helpful for the reaction of the mercapto group in the terminal mercaptan-containing ester compound with the unsaturated double bond in the photopolymerization monomer to form a crosslinked network during the photocuring process, and the high reactivity of the mercapto group in the terminal mercaptan-containing ester compound compared with the photopolymerization monomer is helpful for further improving the photosensitivity; meanwhile, the mass ratio of the terminal mercaptan-containing ester compound and the photopolymerization monomer that is too high is not conducive to the developability in the alkaline solution, and the mass ratio of the terminal mercaptan-containing ester compound and the photopolymerization monomer that is too low is not conducive to improving the photosensitivity of the photosensitive resin composition, therefore, preferably, the mass ratio of the terminal mercaptan-containing ester compound and the photopolymerization monomer is controlled in the above range, which is helpful for taking into account the developability and the photosensitivity of the photosensitive resin composition.

[0024] Preferably, the content ratio of the episulfide group and the epoxy group in the epoxy resin is controlled in the above range, which is helpful for further promoting the thermal curing reaction of the photosensitive resin composition, thereby helping to improve the heat resistance and acid and alkali resistance and other properties of the cured film obtained after the photosensitive resin composition is cured; too much content of the episulfide group in the epoxy resin is not only not conducive to the storage of the photosensitive resin composition, but also causes the refractive index of the epoxy resin to increase, resulting in a large difference in the refractive index between the epoxy resin and the filler in the auxiliary, thereby causing the surface layer and the deep layer of the photosensitive resin composition to be photocured unevenly, and further increasing the side etching of the pattern edge of the cured film; too little content of the episulfide group is not conducive to the thermal curing reaction, thereby reducing the degree of crosslinking reaction, and further reducing the heat resistance, acid and alkali resistance and other properties of the cured film, therefore, by controlling the content ratio of the episulfide group and the epoxy group in the sulfur-containing epoxy resin in the above range, it is helpful for the thermal curing reaction of the photosensitive resin composition, thereby helping the surface layer and the deep layer of the cured film to be cured uniformly and improving the heat resistance, acid and alkali resistance and other properties of the cured film.
