Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of lithography technology, and particularly relates to a photosensitive resin composition, a photoresist cured film and their applications. Background Art
[0002] Since devices such as semiconductors and display panels are developing towards miniaturization, thinning and flexibility, improving the reliability of products is one of the important issues faced by the current industrial community. In terms of the field of materials science, improving the performance of packaging materials and interlayer dielectric materials is an effective means to improve the reliability of devices. Typical examples of packaging and interlayer dielectric materials include the redistribution layer (RDL layer), bump layer (Bump layer) in microelectronic devices (IC devices), anti-radiation protection of devices, insulating layers, the pixel definition layer (PDL), planarization layer (PL) in organic light-emitting diode (OLED) devices, etc. The expected properties of the aforementioned hierarchical materials include better mechanical strength, barrier properties, adhesion to the substrate, lower moisture absorption rate, etc., which are also the long-term pursuits in the current fields of packaging and interlayer dielectric materials.
[0003] Photosensitive resin compositions prepared by compounding alkali-soluble resins such as polyamic acid, polyamic acid ester, polyimide, polyhydroxyamide, polybenzoxazole, etc. with photosensitive compounds and the like have characteristics such as high resolution, good heat resistance, and good chemical resistance, and are widely used in the fields of semiconductor device packaging, interlayer dielectrics, etc. However, in the existing technology, due to the residual hydrophilic groups with a relatively high content in the photosensitive resin cured film, such as hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups, etc., there are problems of high moisture absorption rate and poor barrier properties of the cured film. An excessively high moisture absorption rate is likely to cause a large change in the thermal expansion coefficient of the material and generate a relatively large amount of outgassing in the subsequent process, resulting in phenomena such as rupture of the additional film layer in the subsequent process, reducing the yield of the device, and may also lead to a reduction in the reliability of the device during long-term use.
[0004] In addition, during the thermal curing process of resins such as polyamic acid, polyamic acid ester, and polyhydroxyamide, due to the relatively low degree of crosslinking and imidization in the early stage of curing, they have a certain fluidity at high temperatures, which is likely to cause phenomena such as closed holes, line width reduction, and adhesion between lines, resulting in a reduction in the yield of device production.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field to develop a new type of photosensitive resin material to effectively improve the phenomenon of graphic deformation or even closed holes after curing, while ensuring that the cured film has excellent barrier properties, adhesion, low moisture absorption and water absorption rates. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive resin composition, a photoresist cured film and its application. By designing a crosslinking agent with a specific structure and compounding it with other components, the photosensitive resin composition has low fluidity during the curing process, which can prevent adverse phenomena such as pattern deformation and closed pores. Moreover, the formed photoresist cured film has high barrier properties and excellent adhesion, while the water absorption and moisture absorption rate are effectively reduced, thereby reducing the gas overflow of the cured film in the device manufacturing process, improving the yield of the device and the reliability during subsequent use.
[0007] To achieve this purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0008] In the first aspect, the present invention provides a photosensitive resin composition, which includes a combination of an alkali-soluble resin, a photosensitive compound and a crosslinking agent; the crosslinking agent has the structure shown in Formula I:
[0009]
[0010] In Formula I, X represents an aromatic group, preferably an aromatic group of C6-C60 (such as C6, C9, C10, C12, C14, C16, C18, C20, C22, C24, C26, C28, C30, C32, C35, C36, C38, C40, C42, C45, C48, C50, C52, C55 or C58, etc.).
[0011] In Formula I, R1 represents an ester bond-containing group of C2-C20 (such as C3, C4, C5, C6, C9, C10, C12, C14, C16, C18, etc.).
[0012] In Formula I, R2 represents *-CH2-OR A R A selected from any one of H, C1-C8 (such as C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8) straight-chain or branched-chain alkyls; -* represents the connection site of the group.
[0013] In Formula I, m represents the number of -OH, which is an integer of ≥1, that is, from 1 to the maximum substitution number, for example, it can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, etc. n represents the number of R2, which is an integer of ≥1, that is, from 1 to the maximum substitution number, for example, it can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10, etc.; when n≥2, multiple R2 are the same or different groups. p represents the number of R1, which is an integer of ≥1, that is, from 1 to the maximum substitution number, for example, it can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9, etc.; when p≥2, multiple R1 are the same or different groups.
[0014] In Formula I, -OH is directly connected to the aromatic ring by a single bond, that is, -OH is a phenolic hydroxyl group.
[0015] The photosensitive resin composition provided by the present invention contains a crosslinking agent having the structure shown in Formula I. The crosslinking agent contains three specific functional groups: phenolic hydroxyl group, ester bond-containing group R1, and benzyl ether / benzyl alcohol group R2, and has excellent reactivity. During the curing process of the photosensitive resin composition, the ester bond-containing group can undergo a crosslinking reaction through transesterification and other reactions in the initial stage of curing, improving the crosslinking density and increasing the yield and reliability of the photoresist cured film and product devices. At the same time, the crosslinking agent contains three functional groups, significantly increasing the density of the crosslinking groups in the photosensitive resin composition. Through the crosslinking reaction, the hydroxyl groups are consumed and the hydroxyl group content in the system is reduced, reducing the hydrophilic group content in the photoresist cured film, thereby reducing the water absorption rate / moisture absorption rate, effectively improving the gas overflow in the subsequent process of the product, making the photoresist cured film have better barrier properties, higher adhesion, high strength and excellent chemical corrosion resistance, and improving the reliability of device use.

[0209] Performance tests were carried out on the aforementioned photosensitive resin compositions, and the specific contents are as follows:
[0210] (1) Water absorption test
[0211] The photosensitive resin composition to be tested was coated on a 4-inch square glass substrate by spin coating, pre-baked at 120 °C for 180 s to remove most of the solvent, and a film of about 10 μm was formed. It was exposed without a mask under an ultraviolet exposure machine to promote the decomposition of the photosensitive compound, and then the coated glass substrate was placed in a clean oven at 250 °C under nitrogen protection (oxygen concentration < 20 ppm) and cured for 60 min. The coated glass substrate was soaked in a 5% HF aqueous solution and the film was peeled off from the glass substrate. After the film was washed with deionized water, it was placed in a clean oven at 200 °C under nitrogen protection (oxygen concentration < 20 ppm) and cured for 30 min. After the cured film was treated in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at 80 °C and 80% relative humidity for 24 h, about 10 mg of the sample was accurately weighed. Using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), it was kept at 50 °C for 40 min under a nitrogen flow, and the reduction amount relative to the initial weight divided by the initial weight was measured as the water absorption rate. If the water absorption rate was less than 0.5%, it was judged as excellent; between 0.5% and 1%, it was judged as good; between 1% and 2%, it was judged as qualified.
[0212] (2) Chemical resistance test
[0213] The photosensitive resin composition to be tested was coated on a 4-inch square glass substrate by spin coating (250 rpm), pre-baked at 120 °C for 180 s to remove most of the solvent, and the film thickness t was measured. Then the coated glass substrate was placed in a clean oven at 250 °C under nitrogen protection (oxygen concentration < 20 ppm) and cured for 60 min, and the film thickness (t1) was measured by an ellipsometer. The coated glass substrate was soaked in a stripping solution (GES-T01, Glinda Electronic Materials) at 40 °C for 130 s, or soaked in NMP at room temperature for 15 min. After taking it out, it was quickly rinsed with deionized water, and then dried in a clean oven at 100 °C under nitrogen protection (oxygen concentration < 20 ppm) for 20 min. The film thickness t2 was measured by an ellipsometer, and the change in film thickness before and after etching was calculated as Δt = ∣(t2 - t1) / t1∣ × 100%. If Δt was less than 1%, it was judged as excellent; between 1% and 2%, it was judged as good; between 2% and 5%, it was judged as qualified.

[0217] According to the performance test results in Table 2, in the photosensitive resin composition provided by the present invention, by introducing a crosslinking agent with a specific structure, the crosslinking density in the early stage of curing can be increased. After etching in the stripping solution for 130 s, the cured film formed all reaches Δt < 2%, and the minimum value of Δt can reach < 1%. After soaking in NMP for 15 min, Δt < 1%. It has high strength, adhesion, chemical resistance and other properties, and has the technical advantage of significantly improving the reliability of the device. At the same time, the moisture absorption rate of the cured film is effectively reduced, the water absorption rate < 1%, and can reach below 0.5%, thereby reducing the gas overflow of the cured film in the device manufacturing process, improving the yield of the device and the reliability in the subsequent use process. The photosensitive resin compositions of Comparative Examples 1-2 do not contain the crosslinking agent defined in the present invention, resulting in high water absorption rate and insufficient chemical resistance of the cured film.
