Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for preparing a polymer using only a single solvent, γ-butyrolactone, and a positive-type photosensitive composition prepared using the same and used in a semiconductor device or display device. [Background technology]
[0002] The photolithography process is broadly divided into a coating step in which a photoresist composition is applied to a substrate, an exposure step in which a pattern is formed on the photoresist film using a light source or E-beam through a mask, and a development step in which specific areas of the photoresist film with the engraved pattern are removed. A baking step is added between each step to remove the solvent from the photoresist composition or to harden the film.
[0003] The photolithography process is broadly divided into negative and positive processes. In the positive process, the exposed area reacts with the developer in the development step, and the reaction product is dissolved and removed, while in the negative process, the unexposed area reacts with the developer in the development step, and the reaction product is dissolved and removed. Among these, the positive process uses a photoactive compound that absorbs light and increases its solubility in the exposure step, allowing only the exposed area to be accurately removed in the development step, resulting in a more precise and accurate pattern than the negative process.
[0004] Conventionally, resins such as polyimide or polybenzoxazole have been used as positive photosensitive resin compositions for semiconductor devices and display devices because of their high heat resistance, chemical resistance, weather resistance, etc. However, the molecular weight of the polymer resin used to realize precise circuits is limited by the development using an alkaline aqueous solution in the development stage, so there is a limit to the mechanical properties that can be realized, and N-methylpyrrolidone, which is generally used in the synthesis, is harmful to the environment and human body.

[0039] The polymer of the present invention is synthesized using a single solvent of γ-butyrolactone, and therefore does not contain any solvents that are harmful to the environment and human body, such as N-methylpyrrolidone, which has been used in the past. It is a polyoxazole precursor resin that significantly reduces the amount of unreacted monomers that have a negative effect on mechanical properties. Since the ratio of unreacted monomers after polymerization is low, the yield is excellent, there is no problem with residues during development, the resolution of pattern realization is high, and the physical properties of the film after heat treatment are improved to tensile strength of 10 MPa or more and elongation of 10% or more. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0040] Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. When reference numerals are used to designate components in each drawing, the same reference numerals are used to designate the same components even if they are displayed in different drawings.
[0041] In the description of the present invention, if it is determined that a specific description of related publicly known configurations or functions may make the gist of the present invention unclear, the detailed description may be omitted. When "comprises," "has," "consists," and the like are used in this specification, other parts may be added as long as "only" is not used. When a component is expressed in the singular, it includes the plural unless otherwise expressly specified.
[0042] In addition, in describing the components of the present invention, terms such as first, second, A, B, (a), (b), etc. are used to distinguish the components from other components, and the terms do not limit the nature, order, sequence, number, etc. of the components.
[0043] In describing the positional relationship of components, when two or more components are described as being "coupled," "coupled," or "connected," it should be understood that the two or more components may be directly "coupled," "coupled," or "connected," but that the two or more components may also be "coupled" or "connected" through further "intervening" components, where the other components may be included in one or more of the two or more components that are "coupled," "coupled," or "connected" to each other.
[0044] In addition, when a component such as a layer, film, region, or plate is described as being "on" or "on" another component, this should be understood to include not only the case where the component is "directly on" the other component, but also the case where there is another component in between. Conversely, when a component is described as being "directly on" another part, it should be understood to mean that there is no other part in between.
[0045] In describing a temporal sequence relating to components, methods of operation, methods of production, etc., when the temporal or flow sequence is described using, for example, "after," "following," "next to," or "before," this also includes cases where the sequence is not consecutive, unless "immediately" or "directly" is used.
[0046] On the other hand, when numerical values or corresponding information for components are mentioned, even if there is no separate explicit description, the numerical values or corresponding information can be interpreted as including an error range that may occur due to various factors (e.g., process factors, internal or external impacts, noise, etc.).
[0047] The terms used in this specification and the appended claims should not be interpreted as being limited to their ordinary or dictionary meanings, but should be interpreted as having a meaning and concept that is consistent with the technical idea of the present invention based on the principle that an inventor can appropriately define the concept of a term in order to best describe his / her invention.

In this application, the aryl group or arylene group includes a single ring, a ring assembly, a fused multiple ring system compound, etc. For example, the aryl group includes a phenyl group, a monovalent functional group of biphenyl, a monovalent functional group of naphthalene, a fluorenyl group, and a substituted fluorenyl group, and the arylene group includes a fluorenylene group and a substituted fluorenylene group.
[0056] The term "ring assemblies" as used in this application means two or more ring systems (single ring or joined ring systems) directly linked to each other by single or double bonds, and the number of such direct connections between rings is one less than the total number of ring systems in the compound. Ring assemblies can be identical or different ring systems directly linked to each other by single or double bonds.
[0057] In the present application, the aryl group includes ring assemblies, and therefore includes biphenyl and terphenyl in which a single aromatic ring, a benzene ring, is connected by a single bond. The aryl group also includes compounds in which an aromatic ring system connected to a single aromatic ring is connected by a single bond, and therefore includes compounds in which an aromatic ring system, such as fluorene, is connected to a single aromatic ring, such as a benzene ring.
[0058] The term "fused ring system" used in this application means a fused ring form sharing at least two atoms, including a fused ring form of two or more hydrocarbon ring systems and a fused ring form of at least one heterocyclic ring system containing at least one heteroatom. Such fused ring systems may be aromatic rings, heteroaromatic rings, aliphatic rings, or combinations of these rings. For example, in the case of an aryl group, it may be a naphthalenyl group, a phenanthrenyl group, a fluorenyl group, etc., but is not limited thereto.
[0059] The term "spiro compound" as used in this application has a "spiro union", which means a union in which two rings share only one atom. In this case, the atom shared by the two rings is called a "spiro atom". Depending on the number of spiro atoms in a compound, these compounds are called "monospiro-", "dispiro-", and "trispiro-" compounds, respectively.
[0060] The terms "fluorenyl group", "fluorenylene group", and "fluorenetriyl group" used in this application mean, unless otherwise specified, a monovalent, divalent, or trivalent functional group in which R, R', R" and R'" are all hydrogen in the following structure, respectively, and "substituted fluorenyl group", "substituted fluorenylene group", or "substituted fluorenetriyl group" means that at least one of the substituents R, R', R" and R'" is a substituent other than hydrogen, and includes the case where R and R' are bonded to each other to form a spiro compound together with the carbon to which they are bonded. In this specification, regardless of the valence such as monovalent, divalent, or trivalent, fluorenyl group, fluorenylene group, and fluorenetriyl group can all be named fluorene group.
[0061] [ka]
[0062] Furthermore, the R, R', R" and R'" are each independently an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 30 carbon atoms, or a heterocyclic group having 2 to 30 carbon atoms. For example, the aryl group may be phenyl, biphenyl, naphthalene, anthracene, or phenanthrene, and the heterocyclic group may be pyrrole, furan, thiophene, pyrazole, imidazole, triazole, pyridine, pyrimidine, pyridazine, pyrazine, triazine, indole, benzofuranquinazoline, or quinoxaline. For example, the substituted fluorenyl group and fluorenylene group may be a monovalent functional group or a divalent functional group of 9,9-dimethylfluorene, 9,9-diphenylfluorene, and 9,9'-spirobi[9H-fluorene], respectively.
[0063] The term "heterocyclic group" as used herein includes not only aromatic rings such as "heteroaryl groups" or "heteroarylene groups" but also non-aromatic rings, and means, but is not limited to, a ring having 2 to 60 carbon atoms and containing one or more heteroatoms, unless otherwise specified. The term "heteroatom" as used herein means N, O, S, P, or Si, unless otherwise specified, and heterocyclic group means a single ring, ring assembly, fused multiple ring system, spiro compound, etc., containing a heteroatom.
[0064] For example, the term "heterocyclic group" may include compounds that contain heteroatoms such as SO2, P=O, etc., in place of the carbons that form the ring, as in the compounds below.
[0065] [ka]
[0066] The term "ring" as used in this application includes single and multiple rings, including hydrocarbon rings as well as heterocycles containing at least one heteroatom, and includes aromatic and non-aromatic rings.
[0067] The term "polycyclic" as used in this application includes ring assemblies such as biphenyls, terphenyls, fused multiple ring systems, and spiro compounds, and includes aromatic as well as non-aromatic rings, including hydrocarbon rings as well as heterocycles containing at least one heteroatom.
[0068] The term "aliphatic cyclic group" used in the present application means a cyclic hydrocarbon other than aromatic hydrocarbon, including a single ring, a ring assembly, a fused multiple ring system, a spiro compound, etc., and means a ring having 3 to 60 carbon atoms unless otherwise specified, but is not limited thereto. For example, a fusion of an aromatic ring, benzene, and a non-aromatic ring, cyclohexane, also falls under the category of an aliphatic ring.
[0069] Also, when the prefixes are named consecutively, it means that the substituents are listed in the order in which they are written, for example, an arylalkoxy group means an alkoxy group substituted with an aryl group, an alkoxycarbonyl group means a carbonyl group substituted with an alkoxy group, and an arylcarbonylalkenyl group means an alkenyl group substituted with an arylcarbonyl group, where the arylcarbonyl group is a carbonyl group substituted with an aryl group.
[0070] In addition, unless otherwise specified, in the term "substituted or unsubstituted" used in this application, "substituted" means deuterium, halogen, amino group, nitrile group, nitro group, C1-C 30 Alkyl groups, C1-C 30 Alkoxy groups, C1-C 30 Alkylamine groups, C1-C 30 Alkylthiophene group, C6-C 30 Arylthiophene groups, C2-C 30 Alkenyl groups, C2-C 30 Alkynyl groups, C3-C 30 Cycloalkyl groups of C6 to C 30 Aryl groups, C6-C substituted with deuterium 30 Aryl groups, C8-C 30 an arylalkenyl group, a silane group, a boron group, a germanium group, and a C2-C alkyl group containing at least one heteroatom selected from the group consisting of O, N, S, Si, and P; 30 The term "substituted" means that the heterocyclic group is substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of the following heterocyclic groups, but is not limited to these substituents.
[0071] In this application, the "functional group name" corresponding to an aryl group, an arylene group, a heterocyclic group, etc., which are exemplified as examples of each symbol and its substituent, can be described as the "functional group name reflecting the valence" or as the "parent compound name." For example, in the case of "phenanthrene," which is a type of aryl group, the name of the group can be described by dividing the valence, such as "phenanthryl (group)" for a monovalent "group" and "phenanthrylene (group)" for a divalent group, or it can be described as the parent compound name "phenanthrene" regardless of the valence.
[0072] Similarly, pyrimidine can be described as "pyrimidine" regardless of the valence, or as the "name of the group" of the relevant valence, such as pyrimidinyl (group) if monovalent, pyrimidinylene (group) if divalent, etc. Therefore, when the type of substituent is described in the name of the parent compound in this application, it can mean an n-valent "group" formed by eliminating hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon atoms and / or hetero atoms of the parent compound.
[0073] In addition, in this specification, when describing the names of compounds and substituents, numbers and letters indicating positions may be omitted. For example, pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine may be described as pyridopyrimidine, benzofuro[2,3-d]pyrimidine as benzofuropyrimidine, 9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluorene as dimethylfluorene, etc. Therefore, both benzo[g]quinoxaline and benzo[f]quinoxaline may be described as benzoquinoxaline.
[0074] In addition, unless otherwise expressly stated, the chemical formulas used in the present application are applied in the same manner as the substituent definitions according to the index definitions of the following chemical formulas.
[0075] [ka]
[0076] Here, when a is an integer of 0, it means that the substituent R1 does not exist, that is, when a is 0, it means that all the carbons forming the benzene ring are bonded with hydrogen, and in this case, the hydrogen bonded to the carbon may be omitted and the chemical formula or compound may be described. When a is an integer of 1, one substituent R1 is bonded to any one of the carbons forming the benzene ring, and when a is an integer of 2 or 3, it may be bonded as follows, for example, and when a is an integer of 4 to 6, it is bonded to the carbon of the benzene ring in a similar manner, and when a is an integer of 2 or more, R1 may be the same or different from each other.
[0077] [ka]
[0078] Unless otherwise stated in this application, by forming a ring it is meant that adjacent groups are joined together to form a single ring or joined rings, and the single rings and joined rings formed include hydrocarbon rings as well as heterocycles containing at least one heteroatom, and include aromatic and non-aromatic rings.
[0079] In addition, unless otherwise specified in this specification, when describing a fused ring, the number in "number-fused ring" indicates the number of fused rings. For example, a form in which three rings are fused to each other, such as anthracene, phenanthrene, benzoquinazoline, etc., can be represented as a 3-fused ring.
[0080] In contrast, the term "bridged bicyclic compound" as used herein, unless otherwise specified, refers to a compound in which two rings share three or more atoms to form a ring, where the shared atoms include carbon or heteroatoms.
[0081] Hereinafter, the implementation of the present invention will be described in detail, but it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and is defined only by the scope of the claims that follow.

The resin may be included in an amount of 5 to 50 wt %, more preferably 10 to 45 wt %, based on the total amount of the photosensitive composition. When the resin is included within the above range, a constant thickness can be obtained in the coating step, and excellent sensitivity, developability, and adhesion (adhesion) can be obtained.

[0140] [Table 1]
[0141] As a result of the synthesis test shown in Table 1, it was confirmed that the results were obtained in a yield of more than 84% in all of Examples 1 to 4, which is 8% higher than that of Comparative Examples 1 and 2. In addition, it was confirmed that the ratio of unreacted monomer remained in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 by 5% or more compared to Synthesis Examples 1 to 4.
[0142] (Preparation Example 1) Preparation of Positive Photosensitive Composition 13.759 g of the polymer resin obtained in Synthesis Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2, 2.052 g of MIPHOTO TPD52 (Migen Shoji Co., Ltd.), 0.013 g of F-563 (DIC Co., Ltd.), 1.7 g of KBM-573 (Shinetsu Silicon Co., Ltd.), and 1.2 g of 1,4-bis(methoxymethyl)benzene were stirred with 32.5 g of γ-butyrolactone at room temperature for 12 hours. Then, the composition was filtered three times to remove impurities, thereby preparing a photosensitive resin composition.
[0143] A photosensitive composition solution was prepared according to the composition shown in Table 2 below.
[0144] [Table 2]
[0145] The method for preparing the UTM test piece using the positive type photosensitive resin composition is as follows.
[0146] (1) Application and coating stage The photosensitive composition prepared in the examples or comparative examples is applied to a cleaned 10cm x 10cm glass substrate with a certain thickness using a spin coater, and then a coating film is formed by removing part of the solvent using VCD (vacuum chamber dry). The coating thickness of the photosensitive composition is 11μm to 13μm after VCD.
[0147] (2) Pre-bake stage In order to remove the solvent contained in the obtained coating film, the film is heated on a hot plate at 100°C to 140°C for 50 to 200 seconds. By removing a certain amount of the solvent in this process, a coating film of a certain thickness can be obtained even in the development step after the next process (exposure).
[0148] (3) Exposure step In order to obtain the necessary pattern formation and a certain thickness for the obtained coating film, a pattern can be formed by irradiating the film with an actinic ray of 190 nm to 600 nm, preferably with a light source of a metal or LED lamp having a ghi-line. The exposure dose is 50 to 500 mJ / cm. 2 The pattern formed is a positive type 9cm x 1cm strap pattern.
[0149] (4) Development stage Following the exposure step, the substrate is developed using a puddle method in which a certain amount of 2.38 wt% TMAH (tetramethylammonium hydroxide) developer is applied to the substrate at 23±2°C and left for a certain time (minutes). The substrate is then washed with ultrapure water (DI water), whereby the exposed areas are dissolved and removed, leaving only the unexposed areas to form an image pattern, with the remaining coating having a thickness of 9.0 to 11.0 μm.
[0150] (5) Post-heat treatment stage In order to obtain an image pattern obtained by the above development, the coating film obtained is cured by carrying out post baking in an oven at 300 to 320° C. for 30 to 120 minutes.
[0151] (6) Peeling off the test piece In order to obtain UTM specimens without damage from the substrates that had undergone the post-heat treatment step, the substrates were dipped in a 2% hydrofluoric acid solution at 23±2°C for a certain time (minutes), and the separated specimens were washed using ultrapure water (DI water) and then dried in a vacuum chamber at room temperature to obtain UTM specimens.
[0152] (7) UTM measurement The tensile strength and elongation of the test pieces of the examples and comparative examples were measured using a universal material testing machine QM100S from QMESYS Co., Ltd. The measurement conditions were a measurement temperature of 25° C., a tensile speed of 5 mm / min, and a gauge length of 20 mm.
[0153] (8) NMP content measurement In addition, in order to analyze the NMP content of the prepared composition, the composition was subjected to Headspace GC / MS analysis by SGS Korea, an accredited testing organization, to measure the NMP content, and the LDL was 5 ppm.
[0154] [Table 3]
[0155] As a result of the development test shown in Table 2, it was confirmed that no development that left residues after development occurred in any of Examples 1 to 4 except for the Comparative Example. In addition, when comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, and Example 4 and Comparative Example 4, which were synthesized with the same composition but different solvents, it was confirmed that the elongation rate and tensile strength of Examples 1 and 4 were 10% and 10 MPa higher, respectively, and that the physical properties of the Examples with a low content of unreacted monomers were better. In addition, it was confirmed that a pattern was realized with excellent resolution compared to the Comparative Example. As a result of analyzing the NMP content, it was confirmed that NMP was not detected in any of Examples 1 to 4, and that 150 ppm and 158 ppm of NMP were detected in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, respectively. Recently, regulations have been strengthened to remove or not use NMP, which is harmful to the human body, from display and semiconductor materials, and it is possible to produce a composition that does not contain NMP using the synthesis method presented in this patent.
