Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a photosensitive composition used for forming a color filter or the like. [Background technology]

[0002] Color filters used in image display devices, solid-state imaging devices, etc. are generally patterned by photolithography. The exposure process in photolithography is carried out in an atmospheric environment, and therefore polymerization does not proceed sufficiently due to oxygen inhibition, resulting in problems such as discoloration of the film during the development process (hereinafter referred to as water stains) and a rough film surface that reduces smoothness. Furthermore, when a highly sensitive polymerization initiator is used to promote polymerization, the amount of change in the pattern width tends to increase, resulting in a problem of the pattern width being larger than the desired width.

[0003] To address these issues, Patent Document 1 discloses a colored photosensitive resin composition containing a colorant, an alkali-soluble resin, a photopolymerizable compound, and a solvent, with the aim of preventing development stains (water stains), where the alkali-soluble resin contains a monomer of a specific structure, has a molecular weight of 12,000 to 17,000, and an acid value of 60 to 120 KOH mg / g, and the photopolymerization initiator contains an oxime ester fluorene derivative compound. Patent Document 2 also discloses a resist composition containing a fluorine-based surfactant of a specific structure with the aim of suppressing water stains. Patent Document 3 also discloses a curable composition with the aim of producing a cured film with excellent line width stability, which contains a black colorant, a polymerizable compound, resin A, a photopolymerization initiator, and a polymerization inhibitor, where resin A satisfies either one of the requirements of having an acid value of 120 to 350 KOH / g and a weight-average molecular weight of 3,000 to 7,500. Furthermore, Patent Document 4 discloses a photosensitive colored resin composition for the purpose of suppressing changes in line width, which contains a colorant, a photopolymerizable compound, an initiator, a latent antioxidant of a specific structure, and a solvent, wherein the colorant includes one or more selected from dyes and lake colorants, and the initiator includes a photopolymerization initiator having a tertiary amine structure and an oxime ester photoinitiator having a diphenyl sulfide skeleton.

[0010] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an infrared sensor having a color filter of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the photosensitive composition of the present invention will be described in detail. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and can be modified and carried out within a range that can solve the problems.

[0012] In this specification, unless otherwise specified, "(meth)acryloyl," "(meth)acrylic," "(meth)acrylic acid," "(meth)acrylate," or "(meth)acrylamide" means "acryloyl and / or methacryloyl," "acrylic and / or methacrylic," "acrylic acid and / or methacrylic acid," "acrylate and / or methacrylate," or "acrylamide and / or methacrylamide," respectively. Additionally, "CI" means Color Index (CI; published by The Society of Dyers and Colourists). In this specification, the molecular weight of a low-molecular-weight compound that can be determined is a calculated value (formula weight) or a molecular weight measured by ESI-MS (electrospray ionization mass spectrometry), and the molecular weight of a compound having a molecular weight distribution is a weight-average molecular weight in terms of polystyrene measured by gel permeation chromatography using tetrahydrofuran as a solvent. In this specification, a numerical range expressed using "to" means a range that includes the numerical values ​​before and after "to" as the lower and upper limits.

[0013] <Photosensitive composition> A photosensitive composition according to one embodiment of the present invention is a photosensitive composition comprising a colorant (A), an alkali-soluble resin (B), a polymerizable compound (C), and a polymerization initiator (D), The polymerization initiator (D) contains a polymerization initiator (D1) represented by the following general formula (1) and a glyoxylate-based polymerization initiator (D2).

[0014] [ka]

[0015] In the general formula (1), R1 and R2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms. R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent substituent.

[0016] The mechanism by which the photosensitive composition having the above-described structure can solve the problems of the present invention is not clear, but is speculated as follows.

[0017] The polymerization initiator (D1) represented by general formula (1) (hereinafter simply referred to as polymerization initiator (D1)) has lower sensitivity than oxime ester-based polymerization initiators. However, its rigid, hydrophobic, and heat-resistant fluorene skeleton contributes to the formation of highly resistant films and the suppression of water staining. Furthermore, its low sensitivity contributes to the reduction of pattern width variation. On the other hand, the glyoxylate-based polymerization initiator (D2) (hereinafter simply referred to as polymerization initiator (D2)) is a hydrogen-abstraction polymerization initiator that abstracts hydrogen from other components to generate active radicals. Because hydrogen-abstraction polymerization initiators can create polymerization initiation sites in addition to polymerizable compounds, polymerization on the film surface proceeds without being affected by oxygen. Therefore, it is believed that the film surface roughness during development is reduced, resulting in improved smoothness. The use of these two types of polymerization initiators contributes to the suppression of water staining after development, resulting in the formation of patterns with excellent smoothness and minimal linewidth variation.

Therefore, it is believed that the film is more likely to have a high molecular weight and a high crosslink density, improving the durability of the film surface.

[0090] [ka]

[0107] [Polymerizable compound (C)] The photosensitive composition of the present invention contains a polymerizable compound (C).

[0108] The polymerizable compound (C) is a polymerizable compound, and examples thereof include a monomer or oligomer having an ethylenically unsaturated group. Examples of the ethylenically unsaturated group include a vinyl group, a (meth)allyl group, a (meth)acryloyl group, a (meth)acryloyloxy group, and a styryl group.

[0109] Examples of the polymerizable compound (C) include a polymerizable compound (C1) having an amine structure, a polymerizable compound (C2) having a urethane bond, and other polymerizable compounds (C3).

[0110] The polymerizable compound (C) can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0111] The content of the polymerizable compound (C) is preferably from 1 to 80 mass %, more preferably from 5 to 70 mass %, based on 100 mass % of the nonvolatile content of the photosensitive composition.

[0112] (Polymerizable compound (C1) having an amine structure) The use of a polymerizable compound (C1) with an amine structure improves the smoothness of the film. In addition to the polymerization reaction initiated by the active radical generated by the cleavage of the polymerization initiator (D1) and its addition to the ethylenically unsaturated group, the polymerizable compound (C1) with an amine structure contains a highly electronegative nitrogen atom in its molecule, which facilitates the abstraction of a hydrogen atom from the carbon atom adjacent to the nitrogen atom by the polymerization initiator (D2), thereby initiating a polymerization reaction initiated by the active radical. Therefore, the use of a polymerizable compound (C1) with an amine structure is thought to reduce the susceptibility to polymerization inhibition by oxygen, improving the durability of the film surface.

[0113] The amine structure of the polymerizable compound (C1) having an amine structure may be a primary amine, a secondary amine, or a tertiary amine. Of these, a secondary amine or a tertiary amine is preferred. However, the amine structure of the polymerizable compound (C1) having an amine structure does not include an amide structure, an imide structure, a urethane structure, or a cyclic amine structure in which a carbonyl group is directly bonded to a nitrogen atom.

[0114] Examples of the polymerizable compound (C1) having an amine structure include tris(acryloyloxyethyl)amine, tris(methacryloyloxyethyl)amine, tris(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxypropyl)amine, and a Michael addition reaction product of a (meth)acrylate compound (X) and an amine compound (Y).

[0115] Examples of the (meth)acrylate compound (X) include glycerin tri(meth)acrylate, trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, ditrimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, ditrimethylolpropane tetra(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol tetra(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol penta(meth)acrylate, dipentaerythritol hexa(meth)acrylate, and diglycerides thereof. Examples of the alkylene oxide-modified tri(meth)acrylate include lin tri(meth)acrylate, diglycerin tetra(meth)acrylate, trimethylolpropane alkylene oxide-modified tri- and tetra(meth)acrylate, ditrimethylolpropane alkylene oxide-modified tri- and tetra(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol alkylene oxide-modified tri- and tetra(meth)acrylate, diglycerin alkylene oxide-modified tri- and tetra(meth)acrylate, and dipentaerythritol alkylene oxide-modified tetra-, penta-, and hexa(meth)acrylate. Examples of the alkylene oxide unit in the alkylene oxide modification include ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and butylene oxide. The (meth)acrylate compound (X) also includes a (meth)acrylate compound having an acidic group.

[0116] The (meth)acrylate compound (X) can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0117] Examples of the amine compound (Y) include n-propylamine, n-butylamine, n-hexylamine, benzylamine, aminocaproic acid, ethanolamine, butanolamine, diethylene glycolamine, 2-(2-aminoethoxy)ethanol, o-aminophenol, m-aminophenol, p-aminophenol, 2-aminobenzyl alcohol, N-methylethanolamine, N-ethylethanolamine, N-propylethanolamine, N-isopropylethanolamine, N-butylethanolamine, N-isobutylethanolamine, N-methylbutanolamine, N-ethylbutanolamine, N-butyl-4-hydroxybutylamine, dimethylamine, diethylamine, dipropylamine, diisopropylamine, dibutylamine, cyclohexylamine, N-acetylethanolamine, diethanolamine, 3-anilinephenol, and 4-anilinephenol.

[0118] The amine compound (Y) can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0119] The Michael addition reaction product of the (meth)acrylate compound (X) and the amine compound (Y) can be produced by any known method without any limitation, such as those described in International Publication No. 2006 / 075754, JP-A No. 2008-545859, and JP-A No. 2017-066347.

[0120] The polymerizable compound (C1) having an amine structure may have an acidic group and / or a hydroxyl group. Examples of methods for introducing the acidic group and / or the hydroxyl group include a method using a compound having an acidic group and / or a hydroxyl group in the (meth)acrylate compound (X) or the amine compound (Y), and a method of adding an acid anhydride after a Michael addition reaction.

[0121] Commercially available polymerizable compounds (C1) having an amine structure include, for example, Aronix MT-3041 and 3042 manufactured by Toagosei Co., Ltd., EBECRYL 80 and 7100 manufactured by Daicel-Allnex Corporation, CN371NS, 372, 374, 383 and 386 manufactured by Arkema, and Photomer 4250, 4771, 4775, 4967 and 5006 manufactured by IGM Resins.

[0122] The polymerizable compound (C1) having an amine structure preferably further contains a urethane bond. This allows for the formation of a chemical crosslinked structure through polymerization, as well as a physical crosslinked structure due to intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the urethane bonds and between the urethane bonds and the functional groups of the substrate. The molecular cohesive energy of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds at the urethane bond site is greater than the cohesive energy of other organic structures, such as ether bonds.
