Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a photosensitive resin film, and more particularly to a photosensitive resin film with a high thickness, and the application of the photosensitive resin film. Background Art

[0002] A photosensitive resin film is a resin film that undergoes a chemical change upon exposure to light, and it can be used as a photoresist film in various electronic fields. Photoresist films are classified into positive photoresist films and negative photoresist films according to the changes after exposure and development. After exposure, the exposed part of the positive photoresist film will dissolve during development, and the pattern of the unexposed part will be left after development. After exposure, the unexposed part of the negative photoresist film will dissolve during development, and the pattern of the exposed part will be left after development.

[0003] In the printed circuit board (PCB) industry, it is necessary to use a photoresist film for etching or electroplating processes to form circuit patterns. Due to the increasing complexity and size of electronic components, the demand for thick photoresist films with a high aspect ratio in the printed circuit board industry is gradually increasing. However, existing photoresist films still have problems such as poor storage stability, adhesion, and / or operability, resulting in defects in subsequent electroplating or etching processes, which urgently need to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above technical problems, the present invention aims to provide a photosensitive resin film with excellent storage stability, adhesion, and operability, which can be used in various electronic fields that require high-precision etching or electroplating processes.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive resin film, wherein when the photosensitive resin film is subjected to thermogravimetric analysis at a heating rate of 5 °C / minute from 40 °C to 200 °C and then held at 200 °C for 10 minutes, the absolute value of the first derivative of the weight percentage with respect to time in the range of 0 to 40 minutes is greater than 0.1% / minute and not greater than 1.0% / minute.

[0006] In some embodiments of the present invention, in the thermogravimetric analysis, the weight loss percentage of the photosensitive resin film within 0 to 20 minutes is greater than 0 wt% and not greater than 10 wt%, preferably 2 wt% to 10 wt%.

[0007] In some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the photosensitive resin film is 60 microns to 600 microns.

[0008] In some embodiments of the present invention, the photosensitive resin film is a dry film.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present invention, the photosensitive resin film comprises: (A) an alkali-soluble polymer; (B) a component containing an ethylenically unsaturated compound; and (C) a photoinitiator.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present invention, the component (B) containing an ethylenically unsaturated compound comprises a bifunctional acrylate compound.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present invention, based on the weight of the component (B) containing an ethylenically unsaturated compound, the content of the bifunctional acrylate compound is 60% by weight or more.

[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a composite film comprising the photosensitive resin film as described above and a protective film located on at least one surface of the photosensitive resin film.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present invention, the protective film is selected from the following group: polyethylene terephthalate film, polyolefin film, and the aforementioned composite.

[0014] To make the above objects, technical features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following will be described in detail with some specific embodiments. Detailed Description of Embodiments

[0016] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "a", "the", and similar terms used in this specification and the claims should be understood to include both singular and plural forms.

[0017] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "first", "second", and similar terms used in this specification and the claims are only used to distinguish the described elements or components and have no special meaning in themselves, nor are they used to represent a sequence.

For example, "(meth)acrylic acid" is intended to cover acrylic acid and methacrylic acid, and "(meth)acrylate" is intended to cover acrylate and methacrylate.

[0019] In this specification and the claims, the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) is measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), compared with polystyrene standards, and converted, and its unit is "grams per mole (g / mol)".

[0020] The efficacy of the present invention compared to the prior art lies particularly in providing a photosensitive resin film with high thickness, good storage stability, adhesion, and operability by controlling the first derivative value of weight percentage with respect to time in thermogravimetric analysis. The following provides a detailed description of the photosensitive resin film of the present invention and its applications.

[0021] 1. Photosensitive Resin Film

[0022] The photosensitive resin film of the present invention can be a positive photoresist film or a negative photoresist film. In some embodiments of the present invention, the photosensitive resin film is a negative photoresist film, that is, after exposure, the unexposed part of the photosensitive resin film will dissolve during development, and the pattern of the exposed part will be left after development.

[0023] As will be described below, before use, the photosensitive resin film generally forms a composite film structure by covering a protective film with protective and supporting functions on the surface to facilitate the storage of the photosensitive resin film and prevent the photosensitive resin film from adhering to foreign objects or being damaged. In this article, unless otherwise stated, properties such as "thickness" and "thermogravimetric properties" are for the photosensitive resin film itself and do not include other parts such as the protective film used in combination with it.

[0024] In some embodiments of the present invention, the photosensitive resin film is a dry film, that is, a photosensitive resin film with a low solvent content. The low solvent content means that the content of the solvent is 0.1 wt% to 8 wt%, more specifically 0.1 wt% to 7 wt% based on the total weight of the photosensitive resin film. Compared with ink-like and liquid wet films, dry films are less likely to flow or deform due to their low solvent content and can be attached to the substrate without additional processes such as coating and drying, so they have the advantages of being easy to control and having good operability.

[0025] The photosensitive resin film of the present invention can have a high thickness. Specifically, the thickness of the photosensitive resin film of the present invention can be from 60 micrometers to 600 micrometers, such as 60 micrometers, 70 micrometers, 80 micrometers, 90 micrometers, 100 micrometers, 110 micrometers, 120 micrometers, 130 micrometers, 140 micrometers, 150 micrometers, 160 micrometers, 170 micrometers, 180 micrometers, 190 micrometers, 200 micrometers, 210 micrometers, 220 micrometers, 230 micrometers, 240 micrometers, 250 micrometers, 260 micrometers, 270 micrometers, 280 micrometers, 290 micrometers, 300 micrometers, 310 micrometers, 320 micrometers, 330 micrometers, 340 micrometers, 350 micrometers, 360 micrometers, 370 micrometers, 380 micrometers, 390 micrometers, 400 micrometers, 410 micrometers, 420 micrometers, 430 micrometers, 440 micrometers, 450 micrometers, 460 micrometers, 470 micrometers, 480 micrometers, 490 micrometers, 500 micrometers, 510 micrometers, 520 micrometers, 530 micrometers, 540 micrometers, 550 micrometers, 560 micrometers, 570 micrometers, 580 micrometers, 590 micrometers, or 600 micrometers, or within the range formed by any two of the above values. The higher the thickness of the photosensitive resin film, the higher the thickness of the metal conduction layer that can be plated when used as a photoresist film. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for 2.5D and 3D integrated circuit packaging and can be used for patterning applications before electroplating the conduction layer.

[0026] The photosensitive resin film of the present invention can be formed by a single layer of photosensitive resin or by stacking two or more layers of photosensitive resin. For example, the photosensitive resin film of the present invention can be formed by stacking two, three, or four layers of photosensitive resin, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0027] 1.1. Thermogravimetric properties of the photosensitive resin film

[0028] The photosensitive resin film of the present invention has specific thermogravimetric properties. Specifically, when the photosensitive resin film is subjected to thermogravimetric analysis at a heating rate of 5 °C / minute from 40 °C (i.e., the temperature at the 0th second) to 200 °C and then held at 200 °C for 10 minutes, the absolute value of the first derivative of the weight % with respect to time (i.e., d(weight %) / dt) within the range of 0 to 40 minutes is greater than 0.1% / minute and not greater than 1.0% / minute, preferably 0.2% / minute to 1.0% / minute. For example, when the photosensitive resin film is subjected to thermogravimetric analysis under the above conditions, the absolute value of the first derivative of the weight % with respect to time within the range of 0 to 40 minutes can be 0.11% / minute, 0.13% / minute, 0.15% / minute, 0.17% / minute, 0.19% / minute, 0.21% / minute, 0.23% / minute, 0.25% / minute, 0.27% / minute, 0.29% / minute, 0.31% / minute, 0.33% / minute, 0.35% / minute, 0.37% / minute, 0.39% / minute, 0.41% / minute, 0.43% / minute, 0.45% / minute, 0.47% / minute, 0.49% / minute, 0.51% / minute, 0.53% / minute, 0.55% / minute, 0.57% / minute, 0.59% / minute, 0.61% / minute, 0.63% / minute, 0.65% / minute, 0.67% / minute, 0.69% / minute, 0.71% / minute, 0.73% / minute, 0.75% / minute, 0.77% / minute, 0.79% / minute, 0.81% / minute, 0.83% / minute, 0.85% / minute, 0.87% / minute, 0.89% / minute, 0.91% / minute, 0.93% / minute, 0.95% / minute, 0.97% / minute, 0.99% / minute, or 1.0% / minute, or within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0029] The statement that the absolute value of the first derivative of the weight % with respect to time within the range of 0 to 40 minutes is greater than 0.1% / minute and not greater than 1.0% / minute means that at any time point within the range of 0 to 40 minutes, the absolute value of the first derivative of the weight % with respect to time is greater than 0.1% / minute and not greater than 1.0% / minute. Therefore, if the minimum value of the absolute value of the first derivative of the weight % with respect to time within the range of 0 to 40 minutes of the photosensitive resin film is greater than 0.1% / minute and the maximum value is not greater than 1.0% / minute, it can be determined that the photosensitive resin film has the thermogravimetric property characteristics of the present invention. Conversely, if the minimum value of the absolute value of the first derivative of the weight % with respect to time within the range of 0 to 40 minutes of the photosensitive resin film is not greater than 0.1% / minute, or the maximum value is greater than 1.0% / minute, it can be determined that the photosensitive resin film does not have the thermogravimetric property characteristics of the present invention.

[0030] In the present invention, the first derivative of weight % with respect to time is obtained by performing thermogravimetric analysis on the photosensitive resin film and then obtaining a derivative thermogravimetric curve. Specifically, the thermogravimetric analysis is performed as follows: After removing the protective film from both sides of the photosensitive resin film, the photosensitive resin film is cut into samples of 5 mg to 30 mg by cutting twice in the transverse direction (TD) and the machine direction (MD) respectively; the heating furnace of the thermogravimetric analyzer is heated from room temperature to 40 °C at a heating rate of 5 °C / min and held at 40 °C; the sample is placed in the heating furnace of the thermogravimetric analyzer, air with a flow rate of 40 ml / min is used as the purge gas for the balance, and air with a flow rate of 100 ml / min is used as the purge gas for the sample; the sample is heated from 40 °C to 200 °C at a heating rate of 5 °C / min and then held at 200 °C for 10 minutes. During the heating and subsequent holding process, the weight loss is recorded every 0.5 seconds, and a thermogravimetric curve of weight % versus time in the range from the start of heating at a rate of 5 °C / min to 40 minutes is obtained; the first derivative of this thermogravimetric curve is taken to obtain a derivative thermogravimetric curve. In some embodiments of the present invention, a photosensitive resin film cut into 20 mg is used as the sample.

[0031] When the photosensitive resin film is subjected to thermogravimetric analysis under the aforementioned conditions, the percentage of weight loss within 0 to 20 minutes is preferably greater than 0 wt% and not greater than 10 wt%, more preferably 2 wt% to 10 wt%, and particularly preferably 2.2 wt% to 9.5 wt%. For example, when the photosensitive resin film is subjected to thermogravimetric analysis under the aforementioned conditions, the percentage of weight loss within 0 to 20 minutes can be 0.5 wt%, 1 wt%, 1.5 wt%, 2 wt%, 2.5 wt%, 3 wt%, 3.5 wt%, 4 wt%, 4.5 wt%, 5 wt%, 5.5 wt%, 6 wt%, 6.5 wt%, 7 wt%, 7.5 wt%, 8 wt%, 8.5 wt%, 9 wt%, 9.5 wt%, or 10 wt%, or within the range formed by any two of the above values. The percentage of weight loss within 0 to 20 minutes is obtained from the aforementioned thermogravimetric curve.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the photosensitive resin film is subjected to thermogravimetric analysis under the aforementioned conditions, it has a weight loss percentage of not more than 3% by weight within 0 to 10 minutes. For example, when the photosensitive resin film is subjected to thermogravimetric analysis under the aforementioned conditions, the weight loss percentage within 0 to 10 minutes can be 0.5% by weight, 1% by weight, 1.5% by weight, 2% by weight, 2.5% by weight, or 3% by weight, or within the range formed by any two of the above values. The weight loss percentage within 0 to 10 minutes is obtained from the aforementioned thermogravimetric curve.

[0033] In this thermogravimetric analysis, the temperature corresponding to when the weight loss percentage of the photosensitive resin film reaches 3% by weight relative to the initial weight when placed in the thermogravimetric analyzer is "T d3 ". In some embodiments of the present invention, the T d3 of the photosensitive resin film is preferably 90 °C or higher. For example, the T d3 of the photosensitive resin film can be 90 °C or higher, 100 °C or higher, 110 °C or higher, 120 °C or higher, 125 °C or higher, 130 °C or higher, 135 °C or higher, 140 °C or higher, 145 °C or higher, 150 °C or higher, 155 °C or higher, 160 °C or higher, 165 °C or higher, 170 °C or higher, 175 °C or higher, 180 °C or higher, 185 °C or higher, 190 °C or higher, 195 °C or higher, or 200 °C or higher, or within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0034] In this thermogravimetric analysis, the temperature corresponding to when the weight loss percentage of the photosensitive resin film reaches 5% by weight relative to the initial weight when placed in the thermogravimetric analyzer is "T d5 ". In some embodiments of the present invention, the T d5 of the photosensitive resin film is preferably 90 °C or higher, more preferably 105 °C or higher, and particularly preferably 115 °C or higher. For example, the T d5 of the photosensitive resin film can be 110 °C or higher, 120 °C or higher, 125 °C or higher, 130 °C or higher, 135 °C or higher, 140 °C or higher, 145 °C or higher, 150 °C or higher, 155 °C or higher, 160 °C or higher, 165 °C or higher, 170 °C or higher, 175 °C or higher, 180 °C or higher, 185 °C or higher, 190 °C or higher, 195 °C or higher, or 200 °C or higher, or within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0035] In this thermogravimetric analysis, the temperature corresponding to when the weight loss percentage of the photosensitive resin film reaches 10% by weight relative to the initial weight when placed in the thermogravimetric analyzer is "T d10 ". In some embodiments of the present invention, the T d10 of the photosensitive resin film is preferably 140 °C or higher, more preferably 145 °C or higher. For example, the T d10It can be 145 °C or higher, 150 °C or higher, 155 °C or higher, 160 °C or higher, 165 °C or higher, 170 °C or higher, 175 °C or higher, 180 °C or higher, 185 °C or higher, 190 °C or higher, 195 °C or higher, or 200 °C or higher, or within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0036] The thermogravimetric properties of the photosensitive resin film of the present invention can be adjusted, for example, by adjusting the composition of the photosensitive resin film or the process conditions (such as drying conditions) of the photosensitive resin film. Those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, based on the teachings of this specification, especially the specific examples in the embodiments, should be able to implement the photosensitive resin film having the above thermogravimetric properties.

[0073] 2. Application of the photosensitive resin film

[0074] The photosensitive resin film of the present invention can be used as a photoresist film and further applied to various electronic fields. Generally, before use, protective films that can provide protection and support functions are coated on both surfaces of the photosensitive resin film to facilitate the storage of the photosensitive resin film and prevent the photosensitive resin film from adhering to foreign objects or being damaged. Therefore, the present invention further provides a composite film, which comprises the photosensitive resin film of the present invention as described above and a protective film formed on at least one surface of the photosensitive resin film. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the protective film is formed on both surfaces of the photosensitive resin film, and the materials of the protective films formed on both surfaces of the photosensitive resin film can be the same or different.

[0075] There is no particular limitation on the type of the protective film, and various materials existing in the technical field to which the present invention pertains can be used. For example, the protective film applicable to the present invention can be selected from the following group: polyethylene terephthalate film (PET film), polyolefin film, and the aforementioned composites. Examples of the polyolefin film include, but are not limited to, polyethylene film (PE film) and polypropylene film (PP film), such as oriented polypropylene film, and the composite can be a composite of polyethylene terephthalate film and polyolefin film, or a composite of different polyolefin films. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the composite film comprises a PET film formed on one surface of the photosensitive resin film and a PE film formed on the other surface of the photosensitive resin film.

[0076] There is no particular limitation on the preparation method of the composite film of the present invention, and methods existing in the technical field to which the present invention pertains can be used. Those skilled in the technical field to which the present invention pertains can prepare the composite film based on the disclosure of the present specification. For example, the protective film can be laminated on both surfaces of the photosensitive resin film to provide a laminate, and the laminate can be pressed to obtain the composite film. Alternatively, the resin composition for forming the photosensitive resin film can be first coated on the first protective film and dried to form a photosensitive resin film on the first protective film, and then a second protective film can be pasted on the surface of the photosensitive resin film that does not contact the first protective film, thereby obtaining the composite film. Alternatively, the resin composition for forming the photosensitive resin film can also be extruded between two protective films with a fixed spacing, and then dried to form a photosensitive resin film between the two protective films.

[0077] 3. Examples

[0078] 3.1. Measuring methods

[0079] [Thermogravimetric analysis of the photosensitive resin film]

[0080] After removing the PE protective film and the PET protective film in the prepared composite film from both sides of the photosensitive resin film, cut the photosensitive resin film of 20 mg into samples by cutting twice in the transverse direction (TD) and the longitudinal direction (MD); heat the furnace of the thermogravimetric analyzer (model: TA TGA Q500, purchased from TA Instruments) from room temperature to 40 °C at a heating rate of 5 °C / min and hold at 40 °C; place the sample in the furnace of the thermogravimetric analyzer, use air with a flow rate of 40 mL / min as the purge gas for the balance, and use air with a flow rate of 100 mL / min as the purge gas for the sample; heat the sample from 40 °C to 200 °C at a heating rate of 5 °C / min, and then hold at 200 °C for 10 minutes. During the heating and holding process after the temperature rise, record the weight loss every 0.5 seconds, and use the analysis software Universal Analysis V4.5A Build 4.5.0.5 to plot the thermogravimetric curve of weight% against time in the range of 0 to 40 minutes starting from the start of heating at a heating rate of 5 °C / min; perform the first derivative on the thermogravimetric curve using this analysis software to obtain the derivative thermogravimetric curve. Obtain the first derivative of weight% against time from the derivative thermogravimetric curve obtained above; and obtain the weight loss percentage within 0 to 20 minutes, the weight loss percentage within 0 to 10 minutes, T d5 and T d10 .

[0081] [Wrinkling Test of Photosensitive Resin Film]

[0082] Wind the prepared composite film into a slit roll with a length of 30 m and a width of 300 mm, and place it at a temperature of 23 °C to 27 °C for 12 hours. Then, pull out 5 m of the composite film from the slit roll and tear off the PE protective film, and observe the surface of the photosensitive resin film with the naked eye, and record the number of wrinkles with a length of more than 10 mm and a width of more than 1 mm existing on the photosensitive resin film at the position where 3 m to 5 m is pulled out. If no wrinkles with a length of more than 10 mm and a width of more than 1 mm are observed, it means that the storage stability and operability of the photosensitive resin film are good.

[0083] [Cross-Cut Test of Adhesion of Photosensitive Resin Film]

[0084] The cross-cut adhesion test of the photosensitive resin film was carried out in the following manner according to ASTM D3359. A copper foil laminate with a thickness of 1.6 mm (purchased from Changchun Artificial Resin Co., Ltd., model CCP-308), where the copper foil thickness is 35 μm, was prepared. It was abraded using a #320 non-woven brush wheel and a #600 non-woven brush wheel, and the surface temperature of the copper foil of the copper foil laminate was adjusted to 50°C. The PE protective film on the surface of the prepared composite film was removed, and then the photosensitive resin film together with the PET protective film thereon was stacked on the copper foil surface with the photosensitive resin film facing the copper foil surface of the copper foil laminate, and then laminated with a laminating machine to obtain a sample, where the lamination temperature was 80°C, the lamination pressure was 3.0 kg / cm², and the lamination speed was 2.0 m / min. The PET protective film on the sample was removed, and the photosensitive resin film on the sample was cut into 100 squares of 10×10 at intervals of 1 mm to 1.2 mm with a blade. A transparent tape produced by 3M Company (model: 3M transparent tape 600) was closely attached to the surface of the photosensitive resin film at the cutting position, and then the tape was pulled up forcefully at an angle of 45 degrees to the substrate, and the percentage of the number of squares where the photosensitive resin film peeled off in the total number of squares was calculated and recorded. The lower the percentage of the number of squares where the photosensitive resin film peeled off in the total number of squares, the better the adhesion of the photosensitive resin film to the copper foil laminate.

[0112]

[0113] 3.2.3. Testing of photosensitive resin film

[0114] The properties of the photosensitive resin films of Examples 1 to 11 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 were measured according to the measurement methods described above, including the first derivative of the weight percentage with respect to time in thermogravimetric analysis, the weight loss percentage within 0 to 20 minutes, wrinkles, and the crosshatch adhesion property, and the results were recorded in Tables 3-1 and 3-2 below.

[0115] Table 3-1

[0116]

[0117] Table 3-2

[0118]

[0119] As shown in Tables 3-1 and 3-2, the photosensitive resin films of Examples 1 to 11 of the present invention did not produce wrinkles, indicating good storage stability and operability, and showed a low peeling ratio (<5%) in the crosshatch test, indicating good adhesion to the copper foil laminate. In contrast, the photosensitive resin films of Comparative Examples 1 to 7 could not simultaneously have good storage stability, operability, and adhesion. Comparative Examples 1 to 6 showed that if the absolute value of the first derivative of the weight percentage with respect to time within the range of 0 to 40 minutes was higher than the specified range of the present invention, wrinkles would occur in the photosensitive resin film, indicating poor storage stability and operability. Comparative Example 7 showed that if the absolute value of the first derivative of the weight percentage with respect to time within the range of 0 to 40 minutes was lower than the specified range of the present invention, the photosensitive resin film showed an extremely high peeling ratio (>65%) in the crosshatch test, indicating poor adhesion to the copper foil laminate.

[0120] In addition, Comparative Examples 3, 4, and 7 showed that even if the weight loss percentage of the photosensitive resin film within 0 to 20 minutes was similar to the exemplified scheme of the examples, as long as the absolute value of the first derivative of the weight percentage with respect to time within the range of 0 to 40 minutes was not within the specified range, the inventive effects of good storage stability, operability, and adhesion could not be provided. This shows that the technical focus of the present invention indeed lies in adjusting the absolute value of the first derivative of the weight percentage with respect to time of the photosensitive resin film within the range of 0 to 40 minutes in the thermogravimetric analysis to the specified range.

[0121] In addition, the related research of the inventors also showed that even when the weight loss percentage of the photosensitive resin film within 0 to 10 minutes, T d5 , T d10 was similar to or equivalent to the exemplified scheme of the examples, as long as the absolute value of the first derivative of the weight percentage with respect to time within the range of 0 to 40 minutes was not within the specified range, the inventive effects of good storage stability, operability, and adhesion could not be provided. This also shows that the technical focus of the present invention indeed lies in adjusting the absolute value of the first derivative of the weight percentage with respect to time of the photosensitive resin film within the range of 0 to 40 minutes in the thermogravimetric analysis to the specified range.

[0122] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and illustrate the technical features of the present invention, rather than being used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any changes or arrangements that can be easily made by those familiar with the technology without departing from the technical principles of the present invention fall within the scope claimed by the present invention.
