Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a photosensitive composition used for forming optical filters used in solid-state image sensors, image display devices, and infrared sensors, etc. [Background technology]

[0002] With the widespread use of liquid crystal displays, digital cameras, smartphones, image sensors, infrared sensors, etc., the demand for optical filters used in these devices is growing. In the manufacturing process of optical filters and devices using optical filters, a process is being considered in which a film is formed using a photosensitive composition, and then heated at various temperatures ranging from low temperatures (e.g., below 130°C) to high temperatures (e.g., above 280°C). For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a coloring composition that can form a cured film in which mixing with other colors is suppressed even when an image is formed by a low-temperature process, and includes a red coloring agent, a resin having repeating units containing blocked isocyanate groups, a polymerizable compound, and a photopolymerizable initiator. Patent Document 2 also discloses a coloring resin composition that can expand the process window for processes after the film is manufactured, and includes a resin A containing a specific repeating unit (A), a colorant, and an organic solvent.

[0004] However, the compositions of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 were not sufficiently resistant to heating in a wide temperature range from low temperature to high temperature. Also, the alkali developability of the compositions was not sufficient.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive composition that has excellent alkali developability and can form a film having excellent resistance to heating in a wide temperature range from low temperature to high temperature.

Effects of the Invention

[0007] According to the present invention as described above, it is possible to provide a photosensitive composition that has excellent alkali developability and can form a film having excellent resistance to heating in a wide temperature range from low temperature to high temperature. Further, the present invention can provide a film, an optical filter, a solid-state imaging device, an image display device, and an infrared sensor using the same.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of 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 implemented within the range capable of solving the problems.

[0010] 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. In this specification, "CI" refers to the Color Index (published by The Society of Dyers and Colourists). In this specification, a polymerizable unsaturated group is an ethylenically unsaturated double bond. Regarding the molecular weight of the compounds in this invention, for low molecular weight compounds whose molecular weight can be specified, the molecular weight is calculated by formula weight or measured by ESI-MS (electrospray ionization mass spectrometry), while for compounds with a molecular weight distribution, the weight-average molecular weight in polystyrene terms is measured by gel permeation chromatography using tetrahydrofuran as the solvent. In this specification, a monomer is a compound that forms a resin by polymerization. A monomer is in an unreacted state, and a monomer unit is in a state where the monomer has formed a resin after polymerization. In this specification, a numerical range represented by "~" means a range that includes the numbers written before and after "~" as the lower and upper limits, respectively.

[0011] <Photosensitive composition> A photosensitive composition according to one embodiment of the present invention is a photosensitive composition comprising an alkali-soluble resin (A), a polymerizable compound (B), and a polymerization initiator (C), The alkali-soluble resin (A) includes an alkali-soluble resin (A1) having a phenolic hydroxyl group-containing monomer unit (a1), and an alkali-soluble resin (A2) having a hydroxyl group-containing monomer unit (a2) other than the phenolic hydroxyl group-containing monomer unit (a1) (excluding the alkali-soluble resin (A1)).

[0012] The mechanism by which the above-described photosensitive composition can solve the problems of the present invention is not clear, but we speculate as follows.

[0013] It is hypothesized that the alkali-soluble resin (A1) containing phenolic hydroxyl group monomer units (a1) generates hydrogen bonds due to the phenolic hydroxyl groups and stacking interactions between aromatic rings within the film, thereby forming a strong film. Therefore, it is hypothesized that it has excellent resistance to heating over a wide temperature range. On the other hand, it is hypothesized that it tends to aggregate and leave residue during alkaline development. However, it is hypothesized that by using an alkali-soluble resin (A2) containing hydroxyl group monomer units other than phenolic hydroxyl group monomer units (a1) in combination, the stacking interactions between aromatic rings are moderately weakened, suppressing aggregation and improving alkaline developability.

[0333] From an environmental standpoint, the photosensitive composition of the present invention preferably contains substantially no organic solvents, such as aromatic hydrocarbons (toluene, xylene, benzene, chlorobenzene, etc.). Substantially no organic solvents means that the concentration in the photosensitive composition is 50 ppm by mass or less, preferably 30 ppm by mass or less, and more preferably 10 ppm by mass or less.

[0334] Organic solvents (P) can be used alone or in combination of two or more types.

[0335] The amount of organic solvent (P) is preferably such that the non-volatile content of the photosensitive composition is 5 to 60% by mass.

[0336] [Other ingredients (Q)] The photosensitive composition of the present invention may contain components other than those listed above (hereinafter also simply referred to as other components (Q)). Examples of other components (Q) include surfactants, acid generators, salt generators, curing agents, curing catalysts, quenching agents, semiconductor nanocrystals, semiconductor materials, organic electroluminescent materials, insulating materials, and the like.

[0338] Photosensitive compositions containing a total amount of specific metal elements within the above range exhibit excellent stability and sensitivity even after storage over time. The content of specific metal elements can be measured by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP).

[0339] [Water content] The photosensitive composition of the present invention preferably contains 2.0% by mass or less of water.

[0340] Photosensitive compositions with a water content within the above range exhibit excellent stability and sensitivity even after storage over time. The water content can be measured by known methods such as the Karl Fischer method.

[0341] [Method for producing a photosensitive composition] The photosensitive composition of the present invention can be prepared by mixing the above-mentioned components. During preparation, the components may be combined all at once, or they may be dissolved or dispersed in a polymerizable compound (B) or an organic solvent (P) before being added sequentially. When using components with low solubility, such as pigments as colorants (D), it is preferable to first perform a dispersion treatment. For example, a dispersion can be produced by adding a colorant (D), a dispersion resin (G), and an organic solvent (P), etc., and performing a dispersion treatment. Subsequently, the dispersion can be mixed with an alkali-soluble resin (A), a polymerizable compound (B), and a polymerization initiator (C), etc. The timing of adding each material is arbitrary. Furthermore, the dispersion process can be performed multiple times.

[0342] Examples of distributed processing machines include two-roll mills, three-roll mills, ball mills, horizontal sand mills, vertical sand mills, annular bead mills, or attritors.

[0343] The average dispersed particle diameter (secondary particle diameter) of the particles in the dispersion is preferably 30 to 200 nm, and more preferably 40 to 200 nm.

[0344] The method for measuring the average dispersed particle diameter (secondary particle diameter) is, for example, to use Nikkiso's Microtrac UPA-EX150, which employs dynamic light scattering (FFT power-spectrum method), with particle permeability set to absorption mode, particle shape to non-spherical, and D50 particle diameter as the average diameter. The diluent solvent for measurement is the same organic solvent used for dispersion, and it is preferable to measure immediately after sample preparation of ultrasonically treated samples to obtain results with less variation.

[0345] The photosensitive composition is preferably subjected to centrifugation, sintering filter filtration or membrane filter filtration to remove coarse particles of 5 μm or larger, preferably 1 μm or larger, more preferably 0.5 μm or larger, and any mixed dust. The photosensitive composition of the present invention preferably contains substantially no particles of 0.5 μm or larger, and more preferably contains no particles of 0.3 μm or smaller.

[0346] <Membrane> The film of the present invention is formed using the photosensitive composition described above. While a patterned film is preferred, it can also be used as a flat film.

[0347] [Membrane manufacturing method] The method for manufacturing the film is not limited, and known methods can be used. For example, it can be manufactured by a step of coating the photosensitive composition of the present invention onto a substrate, and a step of drying it.

[0348] [Coating process] Examples of substrates include those made of materials such as glass, resin, and silicone. The glass may be colorless and transparent, or colored glass such as blue glass may be used depending on the application. Examples of resins include polyester resins such as polyester terephthalate, polyolefin resins such as polypropylene and polyethylene, polycarbonate resins, and epoxy resins. The thickness of the substrate is preferably 0.01 to 10 mm. An organic light-emitting layer may be formed on these substrates. Furthermore, an image sensor such as a CCD or CMOS may be formed on the substrate. Additionally, a primer layer may be provided on the substrate as needed to improve adhesion with the upper layer, prevent diffusion of materials, and flatten the surface.

[0349] The coating method is not limited, and known methods can be used. Examples include the drop method, slit coating method, spray method, roll coating method, rotary coating method, casting coating method, inkjet method, flexographic printing, screen printing, gravure printing, and offset printing.

[0350] The film thickness can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the purpose. A film thickness of 0.05 to 20.0 μm is preferred, and 0.3 to 10.0 μm is more preferred.

[0351] [Drying process] The drying of the film coated on the substrate is not limited, and known methods can be used. Examples include vacuum drying using a vacuum drying apparatus, heating drying using a hot plate, IR oven, convection oven, etc., and methods combining these.

[0352] The drying temperature and drying time can be adjusted as appropriate. A drying temperature of approximately 50 to 130°C is preferred, and a drying time of approximately 5 seconds to 5 minutes is preferred.

[0353] Next, a pattern is formed. Methods for forming the pattern include photolithography and dry etching. Of these, photolithography is preferred. Note that if the film is to be used as a flat film, the pattern formation step is not necessary.

[0354] [Exposure process] The exposure process involves exposing the layer formed by coating and drying to a specific pattern via a mask using an exposure device such as a stepper. This allows the exposed area to harden. Examples of active energy rays used for exposure include ultraviolet rays such as g-rays (wavelength 436 nm), h-rays (wavelength 405 nm), and i-rays (wavelength 365 nm). Light with a wavelength of 300 nm or less can also be used. Examples of light with a wavelength of 300 nm or less include KrF-rays (wavelength 248 nm) and ArF-rays (wavelength 193 nm). When using light of a specific wavelength, optical filters can also be used. Furthermore, exposure may be performed by continuously irradiating with light, or by repeatedly irradiating and pausing with light in short cycles (for example, at the millisecond level or less) (pulsed exposure). Furthermore, multiple active energy rays can be used in combination, and exposure can be performed in multiple stages.

[0355] [Development process] Next, by performing an alkaline development treatment, the unexposed layers dissolve in the alkaline developer, leaving only the hardened parts and resulting in a patterned film. Examples of alkaline developers include aqueous solutions containing alkaline compounds such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, aqueous ammonia, ethylamine, diethylamine, dimethylethanolamine, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, choline, pyrrole, piperidine, and 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-7-undecene. Two or more of these alkaline compounds can be used in combination. Alkaline developers may contain surfactants and organic solvents in addition to alkaline compounds and water. The concentration of the alkaline developer is preferably 0.001 to 10% by mass, and more preferably 0.01 to 1% by mass. The pH of the alkaline developer is preferably 11 to 13, and more preferably 11.5 to 12.5. Using an appropriate pH suppresses pattern roughness and peeling, and improves the residual film rate after development. Development methods include, for example, the dip method, spray method, and paddle method. The development temperature is preferably 15 to 40°C. After alkaline development, it is preferable to wash with pure water.

[0356] [Post-baking process] After development, heat treatment (post-bake) is performed. Post-bake improves the film's durability. The temperature is preferably between 70 and 260°C, and more preferably between 80 and 240°C. The duration is preferably between 2 minutes and 2 hours. When a material with low heat resistance is used as the substrate, when a substrate having an organic electroluminescent element as the light-emitting layer is used, or from the viewpoint of reducing environmental impact, a temperature of 180°C or lower is preferable, 150°C or lower is more preferable, and 130°C or lower is particularly preferable.

[0359] The present invention has a configuration in which a substrate has a plurality of photodiodes that constitute the light-receiving area of ​​a solid-state image sensor (CCD image sensor, CMOS image sensor, etc.) and transfer electrodes made of polysilicone or the like, a light-shielding film with an opening only for the light-receiving portion of the photodiode on the photodiode and transfer electrodes, a device protective film made of silicone nitride or the like formed on the light-shielding film so as to cover the entire surface of the light-shielding film and the light-receiving portion of the photodiode, and the optical filter (color filter) of the present invention is on the device protective film. Furthermore, the device protective film may have a configuration in which a light-gathering means (for example, a microlens, etc.; the same applies hereinafter) is provided on the device protective film and below the optical filter (on the side closer to the substrate), or a configuration in which the light-gathering means is provided on the optical filter. The filter may also have a structure in which a hardened film forming each colored pixel is embedded in a space partitioned, for example, in a grid pattern by partition walls. In this case, it is preferable that the partition walls have a low refractive index with respect to each colored pixel. The imaging device equipped with the solid-state image sensor of the present invention can be used in a variety of applications, such as digital cameras, electronic devices with imaging capabilities (mobile phones, smartphones, etc.), in-vehicle cameras, and surveillance cameras.

[0360] <Image display device> The image display device of the present invention has the above-mentioned optical filter. Examples of image display devices include liquid crystal displays and organic EL displays. The form used in an image display device is not particularly limited, as long as it functions as an image display device. For example, the configuration described in "Next-Generation Liquid Crystal Display Technology" (by Tatsuo Uchida, published by Kogyo Chosakai Co., Ltd. in 1994) can be used. For definitions of image display devices and details of various image display devices, see, for example, "Electronic Display Devices" (by Akio Sasaki, Kogyo Chosakai Co., Ltd., published in 1990) and "Display Devices" (by Junsho Ibuki, Sangyo Tosho Co., Ltd., published in 1989).

[0361] <Infrared sensor> The infrared sensor of the present invention has the above-mentioned optical filter. The form used in the infrared sensor is not particularly limited as long as it incorporates the optical filter of the present invention and functions as an infrared sensor, but for example, the following configurations can be given.

[0362] The substrate has multiple photodiodes that constitute the light-receiving area of ​​a solid-state image sensor (CCD image sensor, CMOS image sensor, etc.) and transfer electrodes made of polysilicone or the like. A light-shielding film is provided on these photodiodes and transfer electrodes, with openings only in the light-receiving portions of the photodiodes. A device protective film is provided on this light-shielding film, and the optical filter of the present invention is provided on this device protective film. Furthermore, the configuration may include a light-gathering means (for example, a microlens, etc.; the same applies hereinafter) on the device protective film and below the optical filter (closer to the substrate), or a configuration in which the light-gathering means is provided on the optical filter.

[0363] Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example configuration of an infrared sensor equipped with the optical filter of the present invention. The infrared sensor shown in Figure 1 comprises a 100 and a solid-state image sensor 110.

[0364] The imaging area on the solid-state image sensor 110 is formed by combining an infrared cut filter 111 and a color filter 112.

[0365] The infrared cut filter 111 transmits light in the visible light region (for example, light with a wavelength of 400 to 700 nm) and blocks light in the infrared region (for example, light with a wavelength of 800 to 1,300 nm).

[0366] The color filter 112 is a color filter in which pixels that transmit and absorb light of specific wavelengths in the visible light region are formed. For example, a color filter in which red (R), green (G), and blue (B) pixels are formed is used.

[0367] Between the infrared transmission filter 113 and the solid-state image sensor 110, a resin film 114 is placed that can transmit light of wavelengths that have passed through the infrared transmission filter 113.

[0368] The infrared transmission filter 113 is a filter that has visible light shielding properties and transmits infrared rays of a specific wavelength. Preferably, the infrared transmission filter 113 shields light with wavelengths of 400 to 830 nm and transmits light with wavelengths of 900 to 1,300 nm.

[0369] A microlens 115 is positioned on the incident light h side of the color filter 112 and the infrared transmission filter 113. A planarization film 116 is formed to cover the microlens 115.

[0370] In the configuration shown in Figure 1, a resin film 114 is arranged, but an infrared transmission filter 113 may be formed instead of the resin film 114.

[0371] This infrared sensor can simultaneously capture image information, enabling motion sensing and other applications that recognize moving objects. Furthermore, because it can acquire distance information, it can capture images containing 3D data. In addition, this infrared sensor can also be used as a biometric authentication sensor.

[0374] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples. Note that "parts" refers to "parts by mass" and "%" refers to "percentage by mass". Furthermore, in this invention, non-volatile content or non-volatile content concentration refers to the mass residue after standing in an oven at 110°C for 3 hours.

[0375] Prior to the examples, each measurement method will be described.

[0376] The weight-average molecular weight (Mw), number-average molecular weight (Mn), acid value (mgKOH / g), and amine value (mgKOH / g) of the resin are measured as follows.

[0377] (Molecular weight of resin) The number-average molecular weight (Mn) and weight-average molecular weight (Mw) were measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) equipped with an RI detector. An HLC-8220GPC (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) was used as the instrument, with two separation columns connected in series and two TSK-GEL SUPER HZM-N packing materials connected in series for both columns. The oven temperature was 40°C, tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution was used as the eluent, and measurements were taken at a flow rate of 0.35 ml / min. The sample was dissolved in a solvent consisting of 1% by mass of the above eluent and injected in 20 microliters. Molecular weight is expressed as polystyrene equivalent.

[0378] (Acid value of resin) 0.5 to 1 g of resin solution was mixed with 80 ml of acetone and 10 ml of water and stirred to dissolve uniformly. A 0.1 mol / L aqueous KOH solution was used as the titrant, and the solution was titrated using an automatic titrator ("COM-555," manufactured by Hiranuma Sangyo Co., Ltd.) to measure the acid value (mg KOH / g). The acid value per unit of non-volatile content of the resin was then calculated from the acid value of the resin solution and the concentration of non-volatile content of the resin solution.

[0379] (Amine value of resin) The amine value of the resin is the total amine value (mgKOH / g) measured according to the ASTM D 2074 method, converted to non-volatile content. In this specification, the amine value is calculated assuming that quaternary ammonium bases are also considered as amino groups.

[0443] [Evaluation of developability] The obtained photosensitive composition was coated onto a 100 mm x 100 mm, 0.7 mm thick glass substrate (Corning Eagle 2000) using a spin coater to a dry film thickness of 2.0 μm, and then dried on a hot plate at 90°C for 2 minutes. After the substrate cooled to room temperature, it was illuminated with an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp at an illuminance of 30 mW / cm² through a photomask with a 100 μm wide stripe pattern. 2 , 100 mJ / cm 2 The substrate was exposed to light. After cooling the substrate to room temperature, it was spray-developed using an aqueous developer containing 0.12% by mass of a nonionic surfactant and 0.04% by mass of potassium hydroxide at 23°C, washed with deionized water, and air-dried. The substrate was observed under an optical microscope to check for the presence or absence of residue in unexposed areas. The evaluation criteria are as follows, with a score of 3 or higher considered practical. 5: No residue was found in the unexposed areas during development for the shortest possible time required to form a pattern. 4: With development 5 seconds longer than the shortest time required for pattern formation, there was no residue in the unexposed areas. 3: With development 10 seconds longer than the shortest time required for pattern formation, there was no residue in the unexposed areas. 2: With development 15 seconds longer than the shortest time required for pattern formation, there was no residue in the unexposed areas. 1: Even with development 20 seconds longer than the shortest time required for pattern formation, residue remained in the unexposed areas.

[0444] [Evaluation of low-temperature heat resistance] The obtained photosensitive composition was coated onto a 100 mm x 100 mm, 0.7 mm thick glass substrate (Corning Eagle 2000) using a spin coater to achieve a dry film thickness of 2.0 μm, and then dried on a hot plate at 90°C for 2 minutes. After the substrate cooled to room temperature, it was illuminated with an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp at an illuminance of 30 mW / cm² through a photomask with a 100 μm wide stripe pattern. 2 , 100 mJ / cm 2 The substrate was exposed to light. After cooling the substrate to room temperature, it was spray-developed using an aqueous developer containing 0.12% by mass of a nonionic surfactant and 0.04% by mass of potassium hydroxide at 23°C, washed with deionized water, and air-dried. The resulting substrate was heated in a clean oven at 90°C for 30 minutes to obtain an evaluation substrate. The obtained evaluation substrates were immersed in PGMAc at 25°C for 15 minutes, washed with deionized water, air-dried, and observed using an optical microscope on the 100 μm wide stripe pattern area. The evaluation criteria are as follows, with a score of 3 or higher considered practical. 5: There is no change in appearance or color. 4: Slight wrinkles may appear, but there is no change in color. 3: Some wrinkles may appear, but there is no change in color. 2: Wrinkles and other marks may appear throughout, and the color may fade slightly. 1: Peeling and fading may occur.

[0445] [High-temperature heat resistance evaluation] The obtained photosensitive composition was coated onto a 100 mm x 100 mm, 0.7 mm thick glass substrate (Corning Eagle 2000) using a spin coater to a dry film thickness of 0.6 μm, and then dried on a hot plate at 90°C for 2 minutes. After the substrate cooled to room temperature, it was illuminated using an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp at an illuminance of 30 mW / cm². 2 , 100 mJ / cm 2 The film was exposed to light and heated in a clean oven at 90°C for 30 minutes. Next, an inorganic film was formed on the surface of the obtained film by sputtering SiO2 to a thickness of 200 nm. The film with this inorganic film formed on its surface was heated in a nitrogen atmosphere at 300°C for 3 hours. The surface of the inorganic film after heating was observed with an optical microscope and measured at 1 cm 2 The number of cracks found was counted. The evaluation criteria are as follows, with a score of 3 or higher considered usable. 5:1cm 2 The number of cracks found is 5 or less. 4:1cm 2 The number of cracks you find must be between 5 and 20. 3:1cm 2 The number of cracks found is between 21 and 50. 2:1cm 2 The number of cracks found is between 51 and 100. 1:1cm 2 The number of successful cracks is 101 or more.
