Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a photosensitive resin composition, a photosensitive resin film, a photosensitive dry film, and a pattern forming method using the composition. [Background technology]

[0002] Some optical devices have a hollow structure in which a sensor is bonded to a cover glass via a partition wall formed around the sensor. This partition wall is typically formed by a lithography process using a photosensitive resin composition. While information from light entering through the cover glass is typically transmitted to the sensor, if light leaking in from the partition wall also enters the sensor, problems can occur in image processing, so the sensor must have a light-blocking function. A photosensitive resin composition with a cured film that provides light-blocking properties has been proposed, which is a photosensitive silicone composition primarily composed of a silphenylene skeleton-containing silicone polymer to which carbon black has been added (Patent Document 1).

[0003] However, there are problems such as carbon black settling in the varnish and aggregates remaining in the cured film.Furthermore, further improvement in the level of miniaturization by pattern formation is desired. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0143] [Pattern Forming Method Using Photosensitive Resin Composition] The pattern forming method using the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention comprises the steps of: (i) forming a photosensitive resin film on a substrate using the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention; (ii) exposing the photosensitive resin film to light; (iii) A step of developing the exposed photosensitive resin film with a developer to form a pattern. It includes:

[0144] Step (i) is a step of forming a photosensitive resin film on a substrate using the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention. Examples of the substrate include silicon wafers, silicon wafers for through-hole electrodes, silicon wafers thinned by backside polishing, plastic or ceramic substrates, and substrates having metals such as Ni and Au on the entire surface or part of the substrate by ion sputtering or plating. Substrates having either or both grooves and holes with an opening width of 10 to 100 μm and a depth of 10 to 120 μm may also be used. The opening width and depth of the grooves or holes in the substrate can be measured using a scanning electron microscope.

[0145] The photosensitive resin film of the present invention can be formed, for example, by applying the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention to the substrate by a method such as dipping, spin coating, or roll coating, and then pre-heating (pre-baking: PB) as necessary to efficiently carry out the photocuring reaction. Pre-heating can be carried out, for example, at 40 to 140°C for about 1 minute to 1 hour.

[0146] The amount of the photosensitive resin composition to be applied can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose, but it is preferable that the amount be such that the film thickness becomes 0.1 to 200 μm, preferably 1 to 150 μm.

[0147] In order to improve the film thickness uniformity on the substrate surface, a solvent may be dripped onto the substrate before applying the photosensitive resin composition (pre-wetting method). The solvent to be dripped and its amount can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose. As the solvent, for example, alcohols such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA), ketones such as cyclohexanone, glycols such as PGME, etc. are preferred, but the solvent used in the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can also be used.

[0148] Next, (ii) the photosensitive resin film is exposed to light. The exposure is preferably carried out with light having a wavelength of 1 to 600 nm, more preferably with light of 10 to 600 nm, and even more preferably with light of 190 to 500 nm. Examples of light with such wavelengths include light of various wavelengths generated by a radiation generator, such as ultraviolet light such as g-line, h-line, and i-line, and far ultraviolet light (248 nm, 193 nm). Of these, light with a wavelength of 248 to 436 nm is particularly preferred. The exposure dose is 10 to 10,000 mJ / cm. 2 is preferred.

[0149] The exposure may be performed through a photomask. The photomask may be, for example, a photomask having a desired pattern cut out therein. The material of the photomask is not particularly limited, but is preferably one that blocks light of the above wavelengths. For example, a photomask having a light-shielding film such as chromium is preferably used.

[0150] Furthermore, to enhance development sensitivity, post-exposure bake (PEB) may be performed. PEB is preferably performed at 40 to 150°C for 0.5 to 10 minutes. PEB crosslinks the exposed areas, forming an insolubilized pattern that is insoluble in the developer solvent.

[0151] After exposure or PEB, (iii) the pattern is formed by development with a developer. As the developer, for example, alcohols such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA), ketones such as cyclohexanone, glycols such as PGME, etc. are preferred, but the solvent used in the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can also be used. Examples of the development method include a conventional method, such as immersing the patterned substrate in the developer. Thereafter, washing, rinsing, drying, etc. are performed as necessary to obtain a photosensitive resin film having the desired pattern.

[0152] Furthermore, (iv) it is preferable to post-cure the patterned photosensitive resin film using an oven or hot plate at 100 to 250°C, preferably 150 to 220°C. A post-cure temperature of 100 to 250°C increases the crosslink density of the photosensitive resin composition and removes remaining volatile components, making it more preferable from the viewpoints of adhesion to the substrate, heat resistance and strength, electrical properties, and adhesive strength. The post-cure time is preferably 10 minutes to 10 hours, more preferably 10 minutes to 3 hours. By using the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention, a film with excellent film properties can be obtained even when post-cure is performed at a relatively low temperature of around 200°C. The film thickness of the post-cure film (cured film) is usually 1 to 200 μm, preferably 5 to 50 μm.

[0153] When it is not necessary to form a pattern, for example, when it is desired to simply form a uniform photosensitive resin film, the film can be formed by exposing the film to light of an appropriate wavelength without using a photomask in step (ii) of the pattern formation method.

[0154] [Photosensitive dry film] The photosensitive dry film of the present invention comprises a support film and a photosensitive resin film obtained from the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention on the support film.

[0155] The photosensitive dry film (support film and photosensitive resin film) is solid, and the photosensitive resin film does not contain a solvent, so there is no risk of bubbles due to volatilization remaining inside the photosensitive resin film or between the film and the uneven substrate. Taking into consideration the flatness on the uneven substrate, step coverage, and the substrate stacking distance, there is an appropriate film thickness range. Therefore, the film thickness of the photosensitive resin film is preferably 5 to 200 μm, more preferably 10 to 100 μm.

[0156] Furthermore, the viscosity and fluidity of the photosensitive resin film are closely related, and the photosensitive resin film can exhibit appropriate fluidity within an appropriate viscosity range, allowing it to penetrate deep into narrow gaps and strengthen adhesion to the substrate by softening the resin. Therefore, from the viewpoint of the fluidity of the photosensitive resin film, the viscosity of the photosensitive resin film is preferably 10 to 5,000 Pa·s at a temperature of 80 to 120°C, more preferably 30 to 2,000 Pa·s, and even more preferably 50 to 300 Pa·s. In the present invention, the viscosity is measured using a rotational viscometer.

[0157] When the photosensitive dry film of the present invention is adhered to an uneven substrate (for example, a substrate having grooves and / or holes with an opening width of 10 to 100 μm and a depth of 10 to 120 μm), the photosensitive resin film conforms to the unevenness to provide a coating, thereby achieving high flatness. In particular, the photosensitive resin film of the present invention is flexible, so that even higher flatness can be achieved. Furthermore, when the photosensitive resin film is adhered to the substrate in a vacuum environment, the occurrence of gaps can be more effectively prevented.

[0158] Next, the photosensitive dry film of the present invention can be produced by applying the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention to a substrate (support film) and drying it to form a photosensitive resin film. A film coater typically used for producing adhesive products can be used as a production device for the photosensitive dry film. Examples of the film coater include a comma coater, a comma reverse coater, a multi-coater, a die coater, a lip coater, a lip reverse coater, a direct gravure coater, an offset gravure coater, a three-roll bottom reverse coater, and a four-roll bottom reverse coater.

[0159] The support film is unwound from the unwinding shaft of the film coater and passed through the coater head of the film coater. The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is applied to the support film at a predetermined thickness, and then the film is passed through a hot air circulating oven at a predetermined temperature and time to dry on the support film, forming a photosensitive resin film, thereby obtaining a photosensitive dry film. Optionally, the photosensitive dry film, together with a protective film unwound from another unwinding shaft of the film coater, is passed through a laminating roll at a predetermined pressure to bond the photosensitive resin film on the support film to the protective film, and then the film is wound around the winding shaft of the film coater, thereby producing a photosensitive dry film with a protective film. In this case, the temperature is preferably 25 to 150°C, the time is preferably 1 to 100 minutes, and the pressure is preferably 0.01 to 5 MPa.

[0160] The support film may be a single-layer film made of a single film or a multilayer film made of multiple polymer films laminated together. Examples of materials for the film include synthetic resin films such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, and polyethylene terephthalate. Polyethylene terephthalate is preferred because of its moderate flexibility, mechanical strength, and heat resistance. These films may also be subjected to various treatments, such as corona treatment or application of a release agent. Commercially available products may be used, such as Cerapeel WZ (RX) and Cerapeel BX8 (R) (Toray Advanced Film Co., Ltd.), E7302 and E7304 (Toyobo Co., Ltd.), Purex G31 and Purex G71T1 (Teijin DuPont Films Co., Ltd.), PET38x1-A3, PET38x1-V8, and PET38x1-X08 (Nippa Corporation).

[0161] The protective film may be the same as the support film described above, but polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene, which have appropriate flexibility, are preferred. Commercially available products can be used for these, and examples of polyethylene terephthalate include those already exemplified, and examples of polyethylene include GF-8 (manufactured by Tamapoly Corporation) and PE Film 0 Type (manufactured by Nippa Corporation).

[0162] The thickness of the support film and the protective film is preferably 10 to 100 μm, more preferably 25 to 50 μm, from the viewpoints of stability in the production of the photosensitive dry film and prevention of the tendency to wind around the core and so-called curling.

[0163] [Pattern formation method using photosensitive dry film] The pattern formation method using a photosensitive dry film is as follows: (i) forming a photosensitive resin film on a substrate using the photosensitive dry film of the present invention; (ii) exposing the photosensitive resin film to light; (iii) A step of developing the exposed photosensitive resin film with a developer to form a pattern. It includes:

[0164] First, in the above step (i), a photosensitive resin film is formed on a substrate using a photosensitive dry film. Specifically, the photosensitive resin film of the photosensitive dry film is attached to the substrate, thereby forming the photosensitive resin film on the substrate. If a protective film is laminated on the photosensitive dry film, the protective film is peeled off from the photosensitive dry film, and then the photosensitive resin film of the photosensitive dry film is attached to the substrate. The attachment can be performed, for example, using a film attachment device.

[0165] The substrate may be the same as that described in the pattern formation method using a photosensitive resin composition. A vacuum laminator is preferred as the film laminating device. For example, the protective film of the photosensitive dry film is peeled off, and the exposed photosensitive resin film is adhered to the substrate on a table at a predetermined temperature using a laminating roll at a predetermined pressure in a vacuum chamber at a predetermined vacuum level. The temperature is preferably 60 to 120°C, the pressure is preferably 0 to 5.0 MPa, and the vacuum level is preferably 50 to 500 Pa.

[0166] To obtain a photosensitive resin film of the required thickness, the film may be applied multiple times as necessary. For example, the number of times of application is about 1 to 10, which can obtain a photosensitive resin film of about 10 to 1,000 μm, particularly about 100 to 500 μm thick.

[0167] In order to efficiently carry out the photocuring reaction of the photosensitive resin film and to improve the adhesion between the photosensitive resin film and the substrate, pre-heating (pre-baking) may be carried out as necessary. Pre-baking can be carried out, for example, at 40 to 140°C for about 1 minute to 1 hour.

[0168] As in the case of the pattern formation method using the photosensitive resin composition, the photosensitive resin film attached to the substrate can be patterned by (ii) exposing the photosensitive resin film to light, (iii) developing the exposed photosensitive resin film with a developer, and, if necessary, (iv) performing a post-curing treatment. Note that the support film of the photosensitive dry film is peeled off before pre-baking or PEB, or removed by other methods, depending on the process. [Example]

Next, 55 g of acrylic acid and 56 g of methacrylic acid were added, and the mixture was thoroughly stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere. The temperature was then raised to 80°C and stirred for 6 hours while maintaining the reaction temperature at 80°C ± 2°C, yielding a solution of acrylic resin (1).

[0179] [3] Preparation of photosensitive resin composition [Examples 1 to 9, Comparative Examples 1 to 7] Each component was blended according to the blending amounts shown in Table 1, then stirred, mixed, and dissolved at room temperature, and then microfiltered through a 1.0 μm Teflon (registered trademark) filter to obtain the photosensitive resin compositions of Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7.

[0189] [4] Preparation of photosensitive dry film Using a die coater as the film coater and a polyethylene terephthalate film (38 μm thick) as the support film, the photosensitive resin compositions of Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 were each applied onto the support film. The film was then dried by passing it through a hot air circulating oven (4 m long) set at 100°C for 5 minutes, forming a photosensitive resin film on the support film, thereby obtaining a photosensitive dry film. A polyethylene film (40 μm thick) was attached as a protective film to the photosensitive resin film using a laminating roll at a pressure of 1 MPa, producing a photosensitive dry film with a protective film. The film thickness of each photosensitive resin film is shown in Tables 3 and 4. The film thickness (μm) was measured using an optical interference film thickness measuring instrument (manufactured by SCREEN Semiconductor Solutions Co., Ltd.).

[0190] [5] Evaluation of photosensitive resin film (1) Evaluation of pattern formation The protective film was peeled off from the photosensitive dry film with the protective film. Using a vacuum laminator TEAM-100RF (manufactured by Takatori Corporation), the vacuum level in the vacuum chamber was set to 80 Pa, and the photosensitive resin film on the support film was adhered to a textured silicone substrate. The temperature condition was 100°C. After returning to normal pressure, the substrate was removed from the vacuum laminator and the support film was peeled off. Next, to improve adhesion to the substrate, the substrate was pre-baked at 110°C for 5 minutes on a hot plate. To form a line-and-space pattern and a contact hole pattern, the resulting photosensitive resin film was exposed to light through a mask using a contact aligner-type exposure device at 365 nm exposure conditions. After exposure, the substrate was subjected to PEB on a hot plate at 130°C for 5 minutes, cooled, and spray-developed with PGMEA (propylene glycol methyl ether acetate) for 300 seconds to form a pattern.

[0191] The photosensitive resin film on the substrate, patterned using the above method, was post-cured in an oven at 180°C for 2 hours while purging with nitrogen. The cross sections of the resulting contact hole patterns (50 μm, 40 μm, 30 μm, 20 μm, 10 μm, and 5 μm) were then observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The diameter of the smallest hole pattern that penetrated all the way to the bottom of the film was defined as the limiting resolution. Furthermore, the perpendicularity of the 40 μm contact hole pattern was evaluated using the resulting cross-sectional photographs: perpendicular patterns were rated as ◎, slightly reverse-tapered patterns as ○, reverse-tapered patterns as △, and poor openings as ×. The results are shown in Tables 3 and 4.

[0192] (2) Evaluation of compatibility Each of the photosensitive resin compositions of Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 was left to stand at 23°C for 24 hours, and the presence or absence of precipitation was visually confirmed. Those that showed no precipitation after 24 hours were marked with an ⊚, those that were fine for 12 hours but showed precipitation within 24 hours were marked with a △, and those that showed precipitation within 12 hours were marked with an ×. The results are shown in Tables 3 and 4.

[0193] (3) Evaluation of reliability (adhesion, crack resistance) Each of the photosensitive resin compositions of Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 was applied to a silicon wafer using a spin coater to a thickness of 10 μm, and then heated on a hot plate at 100° C. for 3 minutes to remove the solvent, followed by drying. The entire surface of the photosensitive resin composition coated on the wafer was irradiated with light (wavelength 365 nm) from a high-pressure mercury lamp using a SUSS MicroTec MA8 mask aligner without a mask, and the wafer was subjected to PEB at 140°C for 5 minutes, followed by immersion in PGMEA for 5 minutes. The film remaining after this process was heated in an oven at 190°C for 1 hour to obtain a photosensitive resin film. The resulting wafer was cut using a dicing saw equipped with a dicing blade (DISCO Corporation, DAD685, spindle rotation speed: 40,000 rpm, cutting speed: 20 mm / sec) to obtain 10 mm x 10 mm square test pieces. The resulting test pieces (10 pieces each) were subjected to a heat cycle test (10 minutes at -25°C, 10 minutes at 125°C, repeated 1,000 times), and the peeling state of the resin film from the wafer and the presence or absence of cracks after the heat cycle test were examined using an optical microscope. A sample with no peeling or cracking was rated as good, a sample with at least one peeling and a sample with at least one crack was rated as peeled, and a sample with at least one crack was rated as cracked. The results are shown in Tables 3 and 4.

[0194] (4) Heat resistance evaluation The mass of the test specimens prepared for reliability evaluation was measured before testing, and then the specimens were placed in an oven heated to 200°C for 1,000 hours. The specimens were then removed from the oven and their masses were measured. A mass change of less than 0.5% before and after testing was judged to be good, and a mass change of 0.5% or more before and after testing was judged to be bad. The results are shown in Tables 3 and 4.

[0195] (5) Light blocking test A photosensitive resin film was formed by laminating a photosensitive dry film onto a glass wafer. The entire surface was irradiated without a mask using a SUSS MicroTec MA8 mask aligner with a high-pressure mercury lamp (360 nm wavelength). The resulting film was then subjected to PEB and immersed in PGMEA. The remaining film was then further heated in an oven at 190°C for 2 hours to obtain a cured film. The transmittance (in %) of this film at wavelengths below 800 nm was measured using a U-3900H spectrophotometer (Hitachi High-Tech Science Corporation). The maximum transmittances are shown in Tables 3 and 4.

[0196] (6) Film agglomerates The dry film was cut out at random from a 1m section and checked for the presence or absence of aggregates using an optical microscope. Aggregates with a maximum diameter of less than 1µm were rated as ◯, and aggregates with a maximum diameter of 1µm or more were rated as ×.

[0197] The evaluation results of the resin films obtained using the photosensitive resin compositions and dry films shown in Tables 1 and 2 are shown in Tables 3 and 4, respectively.

[0198] [Table 3]

[0199] [Table 4]

[0200] As shown in Table 3, Examples 1 to 9, which used the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention, were found to have no film aggregates and to have good contact hole pattern shape, limiting resolution, compatibility, reliability (adhesion and crack resistance), and heat resistance, as well as light-shielding properties.On the other hand, as shown in Table 4, Comparative Examples 1 to 7 were found to be inferior to the Examples in terms of contact hole pattern shape, limiting resolution, compatibility, reliability (adhesion and crack resistance), and heat resistance.

[0201] From the above results, it was found that the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention has excellent dispersion stability of the varnish, is free of film aggregates, and can form a light-shielding cured product having good reliability (adhesion, crack resistance), heat resistance, and resolution.
