Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a photosensitive resin composition, and a method for manufacturing a patterned polyimide resin film using the same. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polyimide resins and polyamide resins have excellent heat resistance, mechanical strength, and insulating properties, low dielectric constant, and the like, and thus have been widely used as insulating materials, protective materials in various electronic components, multilayer wiring substrates, and the like.

[0003] In recent years, high frequency is being promoted in communication devices such as mobile phones. Therefore, it is also required that the insulating portion in which the metal wiring of the communication device is insulated should cope with high frequency.

[0004] Here, the higher the frequency, the greater the increase in transmission loss, and if the transmission loss increases, the electrical signal attenuates. Therefore, for resins such as polyimide resins and polyamide resins, as a countermeasure against high frequency, in order to further reduce the transmission loss, further low dielectric loss tangentization and further low dielectric constant are required in the high frequency band.

[0005] In addition, when various components, electronic substrates, and the like are manufactured, in most cases, it is necessary to form an insulating material or a protective material only at a desired position. Therefore, it is required that a composition for forming an insulating material or a protective material can be applied to photolithography.

[0006] According to the above requirements, as a photosensitive resin composition capable of forming a patterned resin film with low dielectric loss tangent by applying photolithography, a photosensitive resin composition containing a resin and a photosensitive agent, and using at least one selected from the group consisting of a polyimide resin, a polyamide acid, a polyamide resin, a polybenzoxazole resin, and a polybenzoxazole resin precursor containing a structural unit derived from a specific structure having an aromatic group, has been proposed (Patent Document 1).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] Photosensitive resin composition

[0028] The photosensitive resin composition comprises a reactant (A) of a polyimide resin precursor (A1) having a structural unit represented by the following formula (a1) and an isocyanate compound (A2) having a (meth)acryloyl group; a thermal base generator (B) that generates imidazole by heating; and a photoradical polymerization initiator (C).

[0029] [Chemical Formula 2]

[0030]

[0031] (In formula (a1), X A1 is a 4-valent organic group having 4 to 40 carbon atoms, Y A1 is an organic group having 4 to 40 carbon atoms,

[0032] R A1 and R A2 are each independently a hydrogen atom or an organic group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, R A1 and R A2 at least one of which is a hydrogen atom, and the aforementioned organic group as R A1 and R A2 is bonded to the oxygen atom in the ester bond via a C-O bond.

[0033] As shown in the examples described later, the above-described photosensitive resin composition exhibits excellent photolithographic properties and storage stability, and is capable of forming a polyimide resin film with excellent mechanical properties and chemical resistance.

[0034] On the other hand, in the case of photosensitive resin compositions that are not as described above, for example, photosensitive resin compositions that do not contain reactant (A) (e.g., a photosensitive resin composition containing a polyimide resin precursor (A1) having a structural unit represented by formula (a1) that has not reacted with an isocyanate compound (A2) having a (meth)acryloyl group, but not containing reactant (A), or photosensitive resin compositions that do not contain a thermal alkali-generating agent (B) that generates imidazole by heating (e.g., a thermal alkali-generating agent that does not generate imidazole by heating, a photosensitive resin composition that does not contain a thermal alkali-generating agent (B) that generates imidazole by heating, or a photosensitive resin composition that does not contain a thermal alkali-generating agent), have poor photolithographic properties, storage stability, mechanical properties, and chemical resistance.

[0035] Furthermore, in the manufacture of semiconductor devices, when a polyimide resin film is fabricated on a substrate using an existing photosensitive resin composition containing a polyimide precursor, the polyimide precursor is cured by heating. Specifically, heating the polyimide precursor induces a ring-closing reaction (imidization reaction). In this case, there are concerns about substrate warping and damage to the semiconductor device caused by heating at high temperatures.

[0036] However, according to the above-described photosensitive resin composition, the reactant (A) can be cured at a low temperature (e.g., below 200°C), thus suppressing adverse effects caused by heating at high temperatures, such as substrate warping and damage to semiconductor elements.

[0037] The curing temperature can be below 200°C, or above 200°C depending on the type of substrate used.

[0038] It should be noted that, for the reactant (A) described above, its molecular chains crosslink due to exposure in the presence of the photoradical polymerization initiator (C) described later. Then, curing occurs by heating in the presence of the thermal alkali-generating agent (B) described later. It is presumed that prior to this heating, the isocyanate compound (A2) with (meth)acryloyl groups is in a bonded state to the polyimide resin precursor (A1), and through this heating, a portion of the isocyanate compound (A2) breaks away from the polyimide resin precursor (A1) and undergoes a ring-closure reaction.

In this specification, the weight-average molecular weight can be determined as the weight-average molecular weight converted to polystyrene based on GPC (gel permeation chromatography).

[0282] The reactant (A) can be produced by reacting a polyimide resin precursor (A1) having a structural unit represented by formula (a1) with an isocyanate compound (A2) having a (meth)acryloyl group.

[0283] The reaction between the polyimide resin precursor (A1) and the isocyanate compound (A2) is typically carried out in a solvent. There are no particular limitations on the solvent used in the reaction, as long as it can dissolve both the polyimide resin precursor (A1) and the isocyanate compound (A2) and does not react with either. One solvent may be used alone, or two or more solvents may be used in combination.

[0284] Examples of solvents used in the reaction of polyimide resin precursor (A1) with isocyanate compound (A2) include nitrogen-containing polar solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-diethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-diethylformamide, N-methylcaprolactam, and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylurea; lactone-based polar solvents such as β-propiolactone, γ-butyrolactone, γ-valerolactone, δ-valerolactone, γ-caprolactone, and ε-caprolactone; dimethyl sulfoxide; acetonitrile; fatty acid esters such as ethyl lactate and butyl lactate; ethers such as diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, methyl cellosol acetate, and ethyl cellosol acetate; and phenolic solvents such as cresols and xylene-based mixed solvents.

However, the bonding state cannot be determined by analysis based on NMR, etc., and the bonding state is unclear. Therefore, the structure of reactant (A) cannot be determined, or, to perform the determination, a significantly excessive amount of economic expenditure and time is required. Therefore, since the structure and physical properties of the above-mentioned reactant (A) cannot be determined, reactant (A) is determined by the specification of "a reactant (A) of a polyimide resin precursor (A1) having a structural unit represented by formula (a1) and an isocyanate compound (A2) having a (meth)acryloyl group".

[0338] Photosensitive dry film

[0339] The photosensitive dry film has a substrate film and a photosensitive layer formed on the surface of the substrate film, the photosensitive layer being a layer formed from the aforementioned photosensitive resin composition.

[0340] As the substrate film, a film with light transmittance is preferred. Specifically, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, polypropylene (PP) film, and polyethylene (PE) film can be cited as examples, but considering the excellent balance between light transmittance and tensile strength, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film is preferred.

[0341] The aforementioned photosensitive resin composition is coated onto a substrate film to form a photosensitive layer, thereby producing a photosensitive dry film.

[0342] When forming a photosensitive layer on a substrate film, a coating applicator, bar coater, wire bar coater, roller coater, curtain coating applicator, etc. are used to coat the photosensitive resin composition onto the substrate film in a manner that the dried film thickness is preferably 0.5 μm to 300 μm or less, more preferably 1 μm to 300 μm or less, and particularly preferably 3 μm to 100 μm or less, and then the film is dried.

[0344] Method for manufacturing patterned polyimide resin films

[0345] A patterned polyimide resin film is formed using a method comprising the following steps:

[0346] The process of coating a substrate with the aforementioned photosensitive resin composition to form a coating film;

[0347] A process of exposing a coated film in a position-selective manner;

[0348] The process of developing the exposed coated film to obtain a patterned resin film; and

[0349] The process of heating a patterned resin film to generate polyimide resin from reactant (A).

[0350] There are no particular limitations on the substrate; conventionally known substrates can be used, such as substrates for electronic components or substrates on which a prescribed wiring pattern is formed. Silicon substrates, glass substrates, etc., can also be used as substrates.

[0351] The thickness of the coating film is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 0.5 μm or more, more preferably 0.5 μm or more and 300 μm or less, particularly preferably 1 μm or more and 150 μm or less, and most preferably 3 μm or more and 100 μm or less.

[0352] Methods for coating a photosensitive resin composition onto a substrate include spin coating, slot coating, roller coating, screen printing, and applicator methods.

[0353] A photosensitive resin composition coated onto a substrate is typically formed into a coating film by drying. The method for drying the photosensitive resin composition coated onto the substrate is not particularly limited. Drying by heating is preferred. The heating conditions during drying vary depending on the type and proportion of the components in the photosensitive resin composition, the thickness of the coating film, etc., and are generally between 70°C and 200°C, preferably between 80°C and 150°C, for approximately 2 minutes to 120 minutes.

[0354] The coated film formed as described above is exposed by irradiating it with active light or radiation in a position-selective manner. Position-selective exposure is usually performed by irradiating the film with active light or radiation, such as ultraviolet light or visible light with wavelengths of 300 nm to 500 nm, through a mask with a prescribed pattern in a position-selective manner.

[0355] As sources of radiation, low-pressure mercury lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, ultra-high-pressure mercury lamps, metal halide lamps, and argon lasers can be used. In addition, radiation includes microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, gamma rays, electron beams, proton beams, neutron beams, and ion beams. The radiation dose also varies depending on the composition of the photosensitive resin composition and the thickness of the coating film; for example, when using an ultra-high-pressure mercury lamp, it is 100 mJ / cm². 2 Above 10000mJ / cm 2 the following.

[0356] Next, the exposed coated film is developed using conventional methods to dissolve and remove unwanted portions, thereby forming a resin film patterned into a predetermined shape. At this time, a developer solution corresponding to the components contained in the photosensitive resin composition is used. The aforementioned solvent (S) can be used as the developer solution. If the aforementioned reactant (A) is a resin having an alkali-soluble group such as a carboxyl group, an alkaline aqueous solution can be used as the developer solution.

[0357] As an alkaline developer, for example, aqueous solutions of bases such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, ammonia, ethylamine, n-propylamine, diethylamine, di-n-propylamine, triethylamine, methyl diethylamine, dimethylethanolamine, triethanolamine, tetramethylammonium hydroxide (tetramethylammonium hydroxide), tetraethylammonium hydroxide, pyrrole, piperidine, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]-7-undecene, and 1,5-diazabicyclo[4,3,0]-5-nonane can be used. Alternatively, an aqueous solution obtained by adding appropriate amounts of water-soluble organic solvents such as methanol or ethanol, or surfactants, to the above-mentioned alkaline aqueous solutions can also be used as a developer.

[0358] The development time varies depending on the composition of the photosensitive resin composition and the thickness of the coated film, and is generally between 1 minute and 30 minutes. The development method can be any of the following: liquid accumulation method, immersion method, spin-dip method, spray development method, etc.

[0359] Next, the patterned resin film is heated to generate polyimide resin from reactant (A). Thus, a patterned polyimide resin film is manufactured.

[0360] There are no particular restrictions on the heating conditions, as long as the reactant (A) does not decompose and solidifies well.

[0361] The preferred heating temperature is 80°C to 220°C, more preferably 100°C to 200°C, and particularly preferably 120°C to 180°C.

[0362] Here, due to the heating at high temperatures, there are concerns about substrate warping and damage to semiconductor components.

[0363] However, according to the above-described photosensitive resin composition, the reactant (A) can be cured at a low temperature (e.g., below 200°C), thus suppressing adverse effects caused by heating at high temperatures, such as substrate warping and damage to semiconductor elements.

[0364] The curing temperature can be below 200°C, or above 200°C depending on the substrate used.

[0365] The heating time also depends on the heating temperature, typically preferably 10 minutes to 24 hours, more preferably 30 minutes to 2 hours.

[0366] From the perspective of preventing the oxidation of the resin film and obtaining a resin film with better mechanical properties, heating is preferably carried out in an atmosphere of inactive gases such as nitrogen and argon.

[0367] After heating, wash for 30 to 90 seconds as needed, using an air gun, oven, etc., to dry the patterned polyimide resin film. There are no particular limitations on the washing solvent. As an example, water, alcohols, etc., can be used as washing solvents in cases where alkaline development has been performed. When development has been performed using solvent (S), solvent (S) can be used within a range that will not cause solvent shock.

[0368] The patterned polyimide resin film formed as described above can be suitably used as, for example, insulating films and protective films in semiconductor devices, interlayer insulating films for redistribution layers, touch panel displays, organic electroluminescent display panels, etc. Because the aforementioned photosensitive resin composition has good resolution, the patterned polyimide resin film formed as described above can be particularly preferably used as an interlayer insulating film for redistribution layers in three-dimensional mounting devices, etc.

[0369] In addition, the patterned polyimide resin film formed as described above can also be suitably used as a photoresist, electrolytic resist, etching resist, and top solder resist for electronic devices.

[0370] In addition, the patterned polyimide resin film formed as described above can also be used in the manufacture of printing plates such as offset printing plates or screen printing plates, the formation of etching masks when etching molded parts, and the manufacture of protective varnishes and dielectric layers in electronic components, especially microelectronic components.

[0423] <Step 1> Synthesis of imide structural units

[0424] 130.0 g (0.25 mol) of TC-4, 751.3 g of diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, and 132.6 g of methylcyclohexane were added to a reaction vessel equipped with a stirrer, reflux condenser, thermometer, and nitrogen inlet. The reaction vessel was heated to 80–85 °C. After reaching 80–85 °C and the anhydride had dissolved, 101.1 g (0.187 mol) of DA-5 was added. A Dean-Stark tube / condenser was installed and filled with methylcyclohexane. The temperature was then slowly increased, and water generated by imidization was collected using the Dean-Stark tube for dehydration until a specified amount of water was produced or the temperature reached 140 °C. The water and solvent were removed from the Dean-Stark tube, and the reaction vessel was heated to 150 °C while removing volatile components. This temperature was maintained for 1 hour.

[0425] <Process 2>

[0426] The mixture was cooled to 60°C, and 300g of dimethylacetamide was mixed with 220.4g (0.749mol) of TC-2 to form a slurry, which was then added. 156.6g (0.738mol) of DA-6, which had been mixed with 261.2g of dimethylacetamide to form a slurry, was added at 55–60°C for 30 minutes. The mixture was then cooled to 50°C and held at that temperature for 1 hour. Finally, it was cooled to room temperature and stirred for 12 hours.

[0427] <Step 3> Reaction of isocyanate compound (A2) with (meth)acryloyl group

[0428] The reaction vessel was heated to 80°C, and 229.6 g (1.480 mol) of IS-1 was added, with the reaction proceeding for 7 hours. After two purifications via redeposition using 4 times the weight of isopropanol relative to the post-reaction solution, the solution was dissolved in dimethylacetamide to a solid content of 30%, yielding a solution of a polyimide precursor containing (meth)acryloyl groups. The anhydride concentration, calculated from the amount of aniline reacting with the (meth)acryloyl-containing polyimide precursor, was 0.036 mmol / g.

[0429] <Step 4> Addition of polyamic acid structural units

[0430] 100.0 g of a polyimide precursor containing (meth)acrylamide groups and 4.5 g (0.0153 mol) of TC-2 were added, and the reaction vessel was heated to 40°C. 3.46 g (0.0163 mol) of DA-6, prepared as a slurry by mixing with 43.9 g of dimethylacetamide, was added at 40–45°C for 30 minutes. The mixture was then cooled to 40°C and held at this temperature for 1 hour. Afterward, it was cooled to room temperature and stirred for 12 hours to obtain a polyimide precursor containing (meth)acrylamide groups (reactant (A)) with chain extension by a polyfunctional amine.

[0438] ×: Gel formation has occurred.

[0439] <Evaluation of Photolithography Characteristics (Resolution)>

[0440] A photosensitive resin composition was coated onto a silicon wafer with a copper sputtered film using a spin coater. The film was then baked at 120°C for 300 seconds to obtain a coated film with a thickness of 10 μm. I-line exposure was performed on the coated film using a ghi-line exposure machine (manufactured by ULTRATECH) through a negative mask capable of forming via holes. Negative masks capable of forming via holes with opening diameters of 5 μm and 10 μm were used for exposure.

[0441] In terms of exposure, at 2000 J / m 2 ~10000J / m 2 Within the range, the exposure will be increased from 2000 J / m 2 Increase the exposure in stages and repeat multiple times with multiple exposures.

[0442] That is, exposure of the unexposed coating film is performed a number of times calculated by (the number of exposure conditions) × (the number of types of mask opening diameters (2)).

[0443] For the coated films exposed under various exposure conditions, a spin-dip development process was performed using cyclopentanone (CP) for 180 seconds. Then, the films were heated at 200°C for 1 hour under a nitrogen atmosphere.

[0444] The obtained patterned resin film was observed, and the resolution was evaluated based on the diameter of the through-holes that could be imaged as in mask size, according to the following criteria.

[0445] ◎: Capable of forming through holes with opening diameters of 5μm and 10μm.

[0446] 〇: It can form a through hole with an opening diameter of 10μm, but it cannot form a through hole with an opening diameter of 5μm.

[0447] ×: Failed to form through holes with opening diameters of 5μm and 10μm.

[0448] <Chemical Resistance Evaluation>

[0449] A photosensitive resin composition was coated onto a silicon wafer using a spin coater. The film formed from the photosensitive resin composition was baked at 120°C for 300 seconds to obtain a coated film with a thickness of 10 μm. A high-pressure mercury lamp with a flux of 2000 mJ / cm² was used. 2 The cumulative light intensity was used to expose the coated film. After exposure, the film was heated to 200°C at a rate of 5°C / min in an inert oven under a nitrogen atmosphere, and maintained at this temperature for 1 hour. When the temperature dropped to 100°C, the wafer was removed. The wafer was cut into 5 cm squares to obtain test pieces, which were then immersed in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) at 60°C for 2 hours. The appearance of the test pieces after immersion was checked to see if there was any change compared to the appearance before immersion. Cases with no change in appearance after 2 hours were marked as ◎, cases with no change in appearance at 1 hour but a change after 2 hours were marked as ○, and cases with a change in appearance at 1 hour were marked as ×.

[0450] Evaluation of Mechanical Properties (Tensive Elongation)

[0451] Rectangular test pieces with a width of 1 cm and a length of 5 cm were cut from the wafers obtained in the same manner as in the <Chemical Resistance Evaluation>. Using the obtained test pieces and a tensile testing machine (EZ-test, manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation), tensile tests were performed under conditions of a chuck spacing of 2 cm and a tensile speed of 1 mm / min, and the tensile elongation was measured. The tensile elongation was calculated according to the following formula.

[0452] Elongation at break (%) = (distance between chucks at break (cm) / 2 (cm) - 1) × 100

[0453] For tensile elongation, 50% or more is defined as 0, and less than 50% is defined as ×.
