As used herein, a combination of two or more preferred embodiments is a more preferred embodiment.

[0015] [Photosensitive transfer material] The photosensitive transfer member according to the present invention comprises at least a temporary support and a photosensitive resin layer. In the photosensitive transfer member, the temporary support and the photosensitive resin layer may be laminated directly without any other layer therebetween, or may be laminated via another layer. Also, another layer may be laminated on the surface of the photosensitive resin layer opposite to the surface facing the temporary support. Examples of layers other than the temporary support and the photosensitive resin layer include a thermoplastic resin layer, an intermediate layer, and a cover film.

[0016] [Temporary Support] The photosensitive transfer member according to the present invention includes a temporary support. The temporary support is a peelable support that supports the photosensitive resin layer or the laminate including the photosensitive resin layer.

[0017] The temporary support preferably has light transmittance from the viewpoint of enabling exposure of the photosensitive resin layer through the temporary support when the photosensitive resin layer is subjected to patternwise exposure. In this specification, "having light transmittance" means that the transmittance of light of the wavelength used for patternwise exposure is 50% or more. From the viewpoint of improving the exposure sensitivity of the photosensitive resin layer, the temporary support preferably has a transmittance of 60% or more, more preferably 70% or more, for light having a wavelength used for pattern exposure (more preferably a wavelength of 365 nm). The transmittance of the layer of the photosensitive transfer member is the ratio of the intensity of the emitted light that passes through the layer to the intensity of the incident light when the light is incident in a direction perpendicular to the main surface of the layer (thickness direction), and is measured using an MCPD Series manufactured by Otsuka Electronics Co., Ltd.

[0020] Furthermore, it is preferable that the film used as the temporary support is free from deformation such as wrinkles and scratches. From the viewpoint of pattern formability during pattern exposure through the temporary support and the transparency of the temporary support, it is preferable that the number of fine particles, foreign matter, and defects contained in the temporary support is small. The total number of fine particles, foreign matter, and defects with a diameter of 1 μm or more is 50 / 10 mm. 2 It is preferable that the number of pieces is less than 10 pieces / 10 mm. 2 More preferably, 3 pieces / 10 mm or less. 2 More preferably, 0 pieces / 10 mm or less. 2 It is particularly preferred that:

[0022] [Photosensitive resin layer] The photosensitive transfer member according to the present invention comprises a photosensitive resin layer. The photosensitive resin layer used in the present invention has a layer thickness of 8 μm or less, and contains a polymer A having a structural unit derived from styrene, and a polymerizable compound B1 having an aromatic ring and two ethylenically unsaturated groups. Furthermore, the content of the structural unit derived from styrene in the polymer A exceeds a predetermined amount, and the mass ratio of the content of the polymerizable compound B1 to the content of the polymerizable compound B having a polymerizable group is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount.

[0023] As a result of extensive investigations, the present inventors have found that by using a photosensitive transfer member having the above-mentioned configuration, a resin pattern having superior resolution can be produced. Without being bound by theory, it is presumed that the photosensitive resin layer contains a predetermined amount of polymer A and a predetermined amount of polymerizable compound B1, thereby increasing the content of aromatic rings in the photosensitive resin layer and suppressing swelling of the photosensitive resin layer during development, thereby improving the resolution of the resin pattern.

[0024] Each component contained in the photosensitive resin layer will be described below. The photosensitive resin layer is preferably a negative type photosensitive resin layer in which the solubility of the exposed portion in a developer is reduced by exposure and the non-exposed portion is removed by development. However, the photosensitive resin layer is not limited to a negative type photosensitive resin layer, and may be a positive type photosensitive resin layer in which the solubility of the exposed portion in a developer is increased by exposure and the exposed portion is removed by development.

Polymer A may be composed of only structural units derived from styrene, or may have structural units other than structural units derived from styrene. That is, the upper limit of the styrene content of polymer A is not particularly limited, and the styrene content may be 100 mass% or less.

[0026] The styrene content of polymer A is preferably 50% by mass or more, since the swelling of the photosensitive resin layer by the developer is suppressed, thereby resulting in a resin pattern having better resolution (hereinafter, simply referred to as "resolution"). The styrene content of polymer A is preferably 70% by mass or less, and more preferably 60% by mass or less, since this provides better releasability of the resin pattern from the substrate (hereinafter also simply referred to as "releasability").

[0028] From the viewpoint of excellent developability, the polymer A preferably has a structural unit having an acid group.

[0032] It is preferable that the polymer A has both a constitutional unit derived from (meth)acrylic acid and a constitutional unit derived from a (meth)acrylic acid ester. In this case, the total content of the constitutional units derived from (meth)acrylic acid and the constitutional units derived from a (meth)acrylic acid ester is 60% by mass or less, and is preferably less than 50% by mass in order to obtain better resolution.

[0033] The method for producing the polymer A is not particularly limited, and for example, the polymer A may be produced by a known method of radically polymerizing styrene and an optional polymerizable monomer other than styrene in the presence of a polymerization initiator. Examples of the polymerization method include bulk polymerization, suspension polymerization, emulsion polymerization, and solution polymerization.

[0034] The acid value of polymer A is preferably 220 mgKOH / g or less, more preferably less than 200 mgKOH / g, and even more preferably less than 190 mgKOH / g, from the viewpoint of suppressing swelling of the photosensitive resin layer by the developer and thereby achieving superior resolution.

[0035] The acid value is the mass [mg] of potassium hydroxide required to neutralize 1 g of a sample, and is expressed in units of mgKOH / g in this specification. The acid value can be calculated, for example, from the average content of acid groups in a compound. The acid value of the polymer A may be adjusted by changing the type of structural unit constituting the polymer A and the content of the structural unit containing an acid group.

[0036] The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of polymer A is preferably 1,000 or more, more preferably from 10,000 to 100,000, and even more preferably from 20,000 to 50,000.

As the photocationic polymerization initiator, a compound that generates an acid in response to actinic rays having a wavelength of 300 nm or more is preferred, and a compound that generates an acid in response to actinic rays having a wavelength of 300 to 450 nm is more preferred, but the chemical structure is not limited. In addition, even if a photocationic polymerization initiator is not directly sensitive to actinic rays having a wavelength of 300 nm or more, it can be preferably used in combination with a sensitizer as long as it is a compound that responds to actinic rays having a wavelength of 300 nm or more and generates an acid when used in combination with a sensitizer. As the photocationic polymerization initiator, a photocationic polymerization initiator that generates an acid having a pKa of 4 or less is preferable, a photocationic polymerization initiator that generates an acid having a pKa of 3 or less is more preferable, and a photocationic polymerization initiator that generates an acid having a pKa of 2 or less is even more preferable.

Examples of the ionic photocationic polymerization initiator include onium salt compounds such as diaryliodonium salt compounds and triarylsulfonium salt compounds, as well as quaternary ammonium salt compounds. As the ionic photocationic polymerization initiator, the ionic photocationic polymerization initiators described in paragraphs 0114 to 0133 of JP2014-085643A may be used.

[0066] Examples of nonionic photocationic polymerization initiators include trichloromethyl-s-triazine compounds, diazomethane compounds, imide sulfonate compounds, and oxime sulfonate compounds. As the trichloromethyl-s-triazine compounds, diazomethane compounds, and imide sulfonate compounds, compounds described in paragraphs 0083 to 0088 of JP 2011-221494 A may be used. As the oxime sulfonate compounds, compounds described in paragraphs 0084 to 0088 of WO 2018 / 179640 A may be used.

[0067] The photosensitive resin layer preferably contains a photoradical polymerization initiator, and more preferably contains at least one selected from the group consisting of 2,4,5-triarylimidazole dimers and derivatives thereof.

[0068] The photosensitive resin layer may contain one type of photopolymerization initiator alone, or may contain two or more types of photopolymerization initiators. The content of the photopolymerization initiator in the photosensitive resin layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.1% by mass or more, more preferably 0.5% by mass or more, and even more preferably 1.0% by mass or more, based on the total mass of the photosensitive resin layer. The upper limit is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10% by mass or less, and more preferably 5% by mass or less, based on the total mass of the photosensitive resin layer.

[0069] -Dye- From the viewpoints of visibility of exposed and unexposed parts, pattern visibility after development, and resolution, the photosensitive resin layer preferably contains a dye (also simply referred to as "dye N") whose maximum absorption wavelength in the wavelength range of 400 to 780 nm during color development is 450 nm or more and whose maximum absorption wavelength changes with an acid, a base, or a radical. When dye N is contained, the adhesion with adjacent layers (for example, a temporary support and an intermediate layer) is improved, and the resolution is more excellent, although the detailed mechanism is unknown.

[0070] In this specification, the dye "whose maximum absorption wavelength changes due to an acid, a base, or a radical" may mean any of an embodiment in which a dye in a colored state is decolorized by an acid, a base, or a radical, a dye in a decolorized state is colored by an acid, a base, or a radical, and a dye in a colored state is changed to a colored state of another hue. Specifically, the dye N may be a compound that changes from a decolorized state to a colored state by exposure to light, or may be a compound that changes from a colored state to a decolored state by exposure to light. In this case, the dye may be a dye whose colored or decolored state changes when an acid, base, or radical is generated and acts in the photosensitive resin layer by exposure to light, or a dye whose colored or decolored state changes when the state (e.g., pH) in the photosensitive resin layer changes due to an acid, base, or radical. Alternatively, the dye may be a dye whose colored or decolored state changes when it is directly stimulated by an acid, base, or radical without exposure to light.

[0071] Among these, from the viewpoints of visibility and resolution of exposed and unexposed areas, dye N is preferably a dye whose maximum absorption wavelength changes in response to an acid or a radical, and more preferably a dye whose maximum absorption wavelength changes in response to a radical. From the viewpoints of visibility of exposed and unexposed areas and resolution, the photosensitive resin layer preferably contains both a dye N whose maximum absorption wavelength changes due to radicals, and a photoradical polymerization initiator. From the viewpoint of visibility of exposed and unexposed areas, dye N is preferably a dye that develops color in response to an acid, a base, or a radical.

[0072] An example of the color-developing mechanism of dye N is a mode in which a photoradical polymerization initiator, a cationic photopolymerization initiator (photoacid generator), or a photobase generator is added to a photosensitive resin layer, and after exposure, a radical-reactive dye, an acid-reactive dye, or a base-reactive dye (e.g., a leuco dye) develops color due to a radical, acid, or base generated from the photoradical polymerization initiator, the photocationic photopolymerization initiator, or the photobase generator.

[0073] From the viewpoint of visibility of exposed and unexposed areas, dye N preferably has a maximum absorption wavelength in the wavelength range of 400 to 780 nm upon color development of 550 nm or more, more preferably 550 to 700 nm, and even more preferably 550 to 650 nm. Furthermore, dye N may have only one maximum absorption wavelength in the wavelength range of 400 to 780 nm when it develops color, or may have two or more maximum absorption wavelengths. When dye N has two or more maximum absorption wavelengths in the wavelength range of 400 to 780 nm when it develops color, it is sufficient that the maximum absorption wavelength having the highest absorbance among the two or more maximum absorption wavelengths is 450 nm or more.

[0074] The maximum absorption wavelength of dye N is obtained by measuring the transmission spectrum of a solution containing dye N (liquid temperature 25°C) in the range of 400 to 780 nm using a spectrophotometer UV3100 (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) in an atmospheric environment and detecting the wavelength at which the light intensity is minimum (maximum absorption wavelength).

[0075] Examples of the dye that develops or loses color upon exposure to light include leuco compounds. Examples of dyes that are decolorized by exposure to light include leuco compounds, diarylmethane dyes, oxazine dyes, xanthene dyes, iminonaphthoquinone dyes, azomethine dyes, and anthraquinone dyes. As the dye N, a leuco compound is preferable from the viewpoint of visibility of exposed and non-exposed areas.

[0076] Examples of the leuco compound include leuco compounds having a triarylmethane skeleton (triarylmethane-based dyes), leuco compounds having a spiropyran skeleton (spiropyran-based dyes), leuco compounds having a fluoran skeleton (fluoran-based dyes), leuco compounds having a diarylmethane skeleton (diarylmethane-based dyes), leuco compounds having a rhodamine lactam skeleton (rhodamine lactam-based dyes), leuco compounds having an indolylphthalide skeleton (indolylphthalide-based dyes), and leuco compounds having a leucoauramine skeleton (leucoauramine-based dyes). Among these, triarylmethane dyes or fluoran dyes are preferred, and leuco compounds having a triphenylmethane skeleton (triphenylmethane dyes) or fluoran dyes are more preferred.

[0077] From the viewpoint of visibility of the exposed and non-exposed parts, the leuco compound preferably has a lactone ring, a sultine ring, or a sultone ring. This allows the lactone ring, the sultine ring, or the sultone ring of the leuco compound to react with a radical generated from a photoradical polymerization initiator or an acid generated from a photocationic polymerization initiator, thereby changing the leuco compound to a ring-closed state to cause discoloration, or changing the leuco compound to a ring-open state to cause color development. The leuco compound is preferably a compound having a lactone ring, a sultine ring, or a sultone ring, which is opened by a radical or an acid to develop color, and more preferably a compound having a lactone ring, which is opened by a radical or an acid to develop color.

[0080] From the viewpoints of visibility of exposed and unexposed areas, pattern visibility after development, and resolution, dye N is preferably a dye whose maximum absorption wavelength changes in response to radicals, and more preferably a dye that develops color in response to radicals. As dye N, leuco crystal violet, crystal violet lactone, or Victoria Pure Blue-naphthalenesulfonate is preferred.

[0081] The dye N may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds. From the viewpoints of visibility of exposed and unexposed areas, pattern visibility after development, and resolution, the content of dye N is preferably 0.1 mass % or more, more preferably 0.1 to 10 mass %, even more preferably 0.1 to 5 mass %, and particularly preferably 0.1 to 1 mass %, relative to the total mass of the photosensitive resin layer.

[0082] The content of dye N means the content of dye when all of dye N contained in the photosensitive resin layer is in a color-developing state. A method for quantifying the content of dye N will be described below using a dye that develops color by radicals as an example. Prepare solutions by dissolving 0.001 g and 0.01 g of dye in 100 mL of methyl ethyl ketone. Add a photoradical polymerization initiator Irgacure OXE01 (product name, BASF Japan Co., Ltd.) to each of the obtained solutions, and irradiate with 365 nm light to generate radicals and make all the dyes colored. Then, measure the absorbance of each solution at a liquid temperature of 25°C using a spectrophotometer (UV3100, manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) in an air atmosphere, and create a calibration curve. Next, the absorbance of the solution in which all the dyes have been colored is measured in the same manner as above, except that the photosensitive resin layer 3g is dissolved in methyl ethyl ketone instead of the dye. The content of the dye contained in the photosensitive resin layer is calculated based on the calibration curve from the absorbance of the solution containing the photosensitive resin layer obtained.

[0083] -Surfactants- From the viewpoint of thickness uniformity, the photosensitive resin layer preferably contains a surfactant. Examples of the surfactant include anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, and amphoteric surfactants, with nonionic surfactants being preferred.

[0084] Examples of nonionic surfactants include polyoxyethylene higher alkyl ether compounds, polyoxyethylene higher alkyl phenyl ether compounds, higher fatty acid diester compounds of polyoxyethylene glycol, silicone-based nonionic surfactants, and fluorine-based nonionic surfactants. The photosensitive resin layer preferably contains a fluorine-based nonionic surfactant in terms of better resolution. It is believed that the inclusion of a fluorine-based nonionic surfactant in the photosensitive resin layer suppresses the penetration of the etching solution into the photosensitive resin layer, thereby reducing side etching. Commercially available fluorine-based nonionic surfactants include, for example, Megafac F-551, F-552 and F-554 (all manufactured by DIC Corporation).

[0085] As the surfactant, the surfactants described in paragraphs 0120 to 0125 of International Publication No. 2018 / 179640, the surfactants described in paragraph 0017 of Japanese Patent No. 4,502,784, and the surfactants described in paragraphs 0060 to 0071 of JP-A-2009-237362 can also be used.

The content of the surfactant is preferably from 0.001 to 10% by mass, and more preferably from 0.01 to 3% by mass, based on the total mass of the photosensitive resin layer.

[0087] -Additives- The photosensitive resin layer may contain known additives, if necessary, in addition to the above components. Examples of the additives include a polymerization inhibitor, a sensitizer, a plasticizer, a heterocyclic compound, a resin other than the polymer A, and a solvent.

[0088] The photosensitive resin layer may contain a polymerization inhibitor. Examples of the polymerization inhibitor include the thermal polymerization inhibitors described in paragraph 0018 of Japanese Patent No. 4502784. Among them, phenothiazine, phenoxazine, or 4-methoxyphenol is preferred. The photosensitive resin layer may contain one type of polymerization inhibitor alone, or may contain two or more types. When the photosensitive resin layer contains a polymerization inhibitor, the content of the polymerization inhibitor is preferably 0.01 to 3 mass %, more preferably 0.01 to 1 mass %, and further preferably 0.01 to 0.8 mass %, based on the total mass of the photosensitive resin layer.

[0089] The photosensitive resin layer may contain a sensitizer. The sensitizer is not particularly limited, and known sensitizers, dyes and pigments can be used.

[0090] The photosensitive resin layer may contain one type of sensitizer alone, or may contain two or more types of sensitizers. When the photosensitive resin layer contains a sensitizer, the content of the sensitizer can be appropriately selected depending on the purpose. From the viewpoints of improving the sensitivity to the light source and improving the curing rate by balancing the polymerization rate and chain transfer, the content of the sensitizer is preferably 0.01 to 5 mass %, and more preferably 0.05 to 1 mass %, relative to the total mass of the photosensitive resin layer.

[0091] The photosensitive resin layer may contain at least one selected from the group consisting of plasticizers and heterocyclic compounds. Examples of the plasticizer and heterocyclic compound include the compounds described in paragraphs 0097 to 0103 and 0111 to 0118 of WO 2018 / 179640.

[0092] The photosensitive resin layer may contain a resin other than the polymer A. That is, the photosensitive resin layer may contain a resin having a styrene content of 40% by mass or less. Examples of resins other than polymer A include acrylic resins, styrene-acrylic copolymers (with the styrene content being 40 mass% or less), polyurethane resins, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl formal, polyamide resins, polyester resins, polyamide resins, epoxy resins, polyacetal resins, polyhydroxystyrene resins, polyimide resins, polybenzoxazole resins, polysiloxane resins, polyethyleneimines, polyallylamine, and polyalkylene glycols.

[0093] The photosensitive resin layer may contain a solvent. When the photosensitive resin layer is formed from a photosensitive resin composition containing a solvent, the solvent may remain in the photosensitive resin layer.

[0094] The photosensitive resin layer may further contain known additives such as metal oxide particles, antioxidants, dispersants, acid multipliers, development accelerators, conductive fibers, thermal radical polymerization initiators, thermal acid generators, ultraviolet absorbers, thickeners, crosslinking agents, and organic or inorganic suspending agents.

[0095] <Physical Properties> The thickness of the photosensitive resin layer is 8 μm or less, which improves the developability of the photosensitive resin layer and improves the resolution. From the viewpoint of superior resolution and peelability, the thickness of the photosensitive resin layer is preferably 6 μm or less, more preferably less than 5 μm, and even more preferably 4 μm or less. There is no particular lower limit, but from the viewpoint of superior visibility of exposed and non-exposed areas and superior adhesion to adjacent layers, the thickness is preferably 0.8 μm or more, and more preferably 2 μm or more. The thickness of each layer of the photosensitive transfer member is measured by observing a cross section perpendicular to the main surface of the photosensitive transfer member using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), measuring the thickness of each layer at 10 or more points based on the obtained observation image, and calculating the average value.

[0096] From the viewpoint of superior adhesion, the transmittance of the photosensitive resin layer at a wavelength of 365 nm is preferably 10% or more, more preferably 30% or more, and even more preferably 50% or more. There is no particular upper limit, but it is preferably 99.9% or less.

[0097] <Formation method> The method for forming the photosensitive resin layer is not particularly limited as long as it is a method capable of forming a layer containing the above components. Examples of methods for forming the photosensitive resin layer include a method in which a photosensitive resin composition containing polymer A, polymerizable compound B1, and a solvent is prepared, the photosensitive resin composition is applied to the surface of a temporary support, and the coating of the photosensitive resin composition is dried to form a layer.

[0098] The photosensitive resin composition used to form the photosensitive resin layer may be, for example, a composition containing the polymer A, the polymerizable compound B1, the optional components described above, and a solvent. The photosensitive resin composition preferably contains a solvent in order to adjust the viscosity of the photosensitive resin composition and facilitate the formation of the photosensitive resin layer.

[0099] (solvent) The solvent contained in the photosensitive resin composition is not particularly limited as long as it can dissolve or disperse the polymer A, the polymerizable compound B1, and the above-mentioned optional components, and any known solvent can be used. Examples of the solvent include alkylene glycol ether solvents, alkylene glycol ether acetate solvents, alcohol solvents (methanol, ethanol, etc.), ketone solvents (acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, etc.), aromatic hydrocarbon solvents (toluene, etc.), aprotic polar solvents (N,N-dimethylformamide, etc.), cyclic ether solvents (tetrahydrofuran, etc.), ester solvents, amide solvents, lactone solvents, and mixed solvents containing two or more of these. When preparing a photosensitive transfer member having a temporary support, a thermoplastic resin layer, an intermediate layer, and a photosensitive resin layer, the photosensitive resin composition preferably contains at least one selected from the group consisting of an alkylene glycol ether solvent and an alkylene glycol ether acetate solvent. Among them, a mixed solvent containing at least one selected from the group consisting of an alkylene glycol ether solvent and an alkylene glycol ether acetate solvent, and at least one selected from the group consisting of a ketone solvent and a cyclic ether solvent is more preferable, and a mixed solvent containing at least three of an alkylene glycol ether solvent and an alkylene glycol ether acetate solvent, a ketone solvent, and a cyclic ether solvent is even more preferable.

[0100] Examples of alkylene glycol ether solvents include ethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers, ethylene glycol dialkyl ethers, propylene glycol monoalkyl ethers, propylene glycol dialkyl ethers, diethylene glycol dialkyl ethers, dipropylene glycol monoalkyl ethers, and dipropylene glycol dialkyl ethers.

The content of the solvent when applying the thermoplastic resin composition is preferably 50 to 1,900 parts by mass, and more preferably 100 to 900 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the total solid content in the thermoplastic resin composition.

The photosensitive resin layer may be formed by applying a photosensitive resin composition onto a cover film described below and drying it.

[0104] [Thermoplastic resin layer] The photosensitive transfer member may include a thermoplastic resin layer. The photosensitive transfer member preferably has a thermoplastic resin layer between the temporary support and the photosensitive resin layer, because the photosensitive transfer member has a thermoplastic resin layer between the temporary support and the photosensitive resin layer, which improves the conformability to the substrate in the bonding step, suppresses the inclusion of air bubbles between the substrate and the photosensitive transfer member, and improves the adhesion to an adjacent layer (e.g., temporary support).

[0105] <Ingredients> (alkali soluble resin) The thermoplastic resin layer contains an alkali-soluble resin as a thermoplastic resin. In this specification, the term "alkali-soluble" means that the solubility in 100 g of a 1% by mass aqueous solution of sodium carbonate at 22°C is 0.1 g or more.

[0136] The preparation of the thermoplastic resin composition and the formation of the thermoplastic resin layer may be carried out in accordance with the above-mentioned method for preparing the photosensitive resin composition and the method for forming the photosensitive resin layer. For example, a solution is prepared in advance by dissolving each component contained in the thermoplastic resin layer in the above-mentioned solvent, and the obtained solution is mixed in a predetermined ratio to prepare a thermoplastic resin composition. The obtained thermoplastic resin composition is then applied to the surface of a temporary support, and the coating of the thermoplastic resin composition is dried to form a thermoplastic resin layer. Alternatively, after forming a photosensitive resin layer and an intermediate layer on a cover film described below, a thermoplastic resin layer may be formed on the surface of the intermediate layer.

[0137] [Middle class] The photosensitive transfer member preferably has an intermediate layer between the thermoplastic resin layer and the photosensitive resin layer, which can prevent the components from mixing when applying multiple layers and during storage after application. The intermediate layer is preferably a water-soluble layer from the viewpoints of developability and suppressing mixing of components when applying a plurality of layers and during storage after application. In this specification, the term "water-soluble" means that the solubility in 100 g of water having a liquid temperature of 22°C and a pH of 7.0 is 0.1 g or more.

[0138] The intermediate layer may be an oxygen-blocking layer having an oxygen-blocking function, which is described as a "separation layer" in JP-A-5-072724. When the intermediate layer is an oxygen-blocking layer, the sensitivity during exposure is improved, the time load of the exposure machine is reduced, and productivity is improved, which is preferable. The oxygen barrier layer used as the intermediate layer may be appropriately selected from known layers such as those described in the above publications. Among them, an oxygen barrier layer that exhibits low oxygen permeability and disperses or dissolves in water or an alkaline aqueous solution (a 1% by mass aqueous solution of sodium carbonate at 22° C.) is preferred.

Examples of resins contained in the intermediate layer include polyvinyl alcohol-based resins, polyvinylpyrrolidone-based resins, cellulose-based resins, acrylamide-based resins, polyethylene oxide-based resins, gelatin, vinyl ether-based resins, polyamide resins, and copolymers thereof. The resin contained in the intermediate layer is preferably a water-soluble resin. In addition, from the viewpoint of suppressing mixing of components between multiple layers, it is preferable that the resin contained in the intermediate layer is a resin different from both the polymer A contained in the photosensitive resin layer and the thermoplastic resin (alkali-soluble resin) contained in the thermoplastic resin layer.

[0140] From the viewpoints of oxygen barrier properties and suppressing mixing of components when multiple layers are applied and during storage after application, the intermediate layer preferably contains polyvinyl alcohol, and more preferably contains both polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylpyrrolidone.

[0141] The intermediate layer may contain one type of the above resin alone, or may contain two or more types.

When the thickness of the intermediate layer is within the above range, the oxygen barrier properties are not reduced, mixing of components can be suppressed when multiple layers are applied and during storage after application, and an increase in the time required to remove the intermediate layer during development can be suppressed.

[0143] The method for forming the intermediate layer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a method in which an intermediate layer composition containing the above-mentioned resin and any additives is prepared, applied to the surface of a thermoplastic resin layer or a photosensitive resin layer, and the coating of the intermediate layer composition is dried to form an intermediate layer. The intermediate layer composition preferably contains a solvent in order to adjust the viscosity of the thermoplastic resin composition and facilitate the formation of the thermoplastic resin layer.

The arithmetic mean roughness Ra value of the surface of the cover film in contact with the photosensitive resin layer (hereinafter also simply referred to as the "surface of the cover film") is preferably 0.3 μm or less, more preferably 0.1 μm or less, and even more preferably 0.05 μm or less, from the viewpoint of superior resolution. It is believed that the uniformity of the layer thickness of the photosensitive resin layer and the formed resin pattern is improved by the Ra value of the surface of the cover film being within the above range. There is no particular lower limit for the Ra value of the surface of the cover film, but it is preferably 0.001 μm or more.

[0148] The Ra value of the surface of the cover film is measured by the following method. Using a 3D optical profiler (New View7300, manufactured by Zygo), the surface of the cover film is measured under the following conditions to obtain the surface profile of the optical film. The Microscope Application of MetroPro ver8.3.2 is used as the measurement and analysis software. Next, the Surface Map screen is displayed in the above analysis software, and histogram data is obtained in the Surface Map screen. From the obtained histogram data, the arithmetic average roughness is calculated to obtain the Ra value of the cover film surface. When a cover film is attached to the photosensitive transfer member, the cover film is peeled off from the photosensitive transfer member, and the Ra value of the surface on the peeled side may be measured.

[0149] The photosensitive transfer member may include layers other than the layers described above (hereinafter, also referred to as "other layers"). Examples of the other layers include a contrast enhancement layer. The contrast enhancement layer is described in paragraph 0134 of International Publication No. 2018 / 179640. The other layers are described in paragraphs 0194 to 0196 of JP 2014-085643 A. The contents of these publications are incorporated herein by reference.

[0150] [Method of Manufacturing Photosensitive Transfer Member] The method for producing the photosensitive transfer member according to the present disclosure is not particularly limited, and any known production method, for example, any known method for forming each layer, can be used. Hereinafter, a method for producing a photosensitive transfer member according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to Fig. 1. However, the photosensitive transfer member according to the present disclosure is not limited to the configuration shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of a photosensitive transfer member according to the present disclosure. The photosensitive transfer member 100 shown in Fig. 1 has a configuration in which a temporary support 10, a thermoplastic resin layer 12, an intermediate layer 14, a photosensitive resin layer 16, and a cover film 18 are laminated in this order.

[0151] Examples of a method for manufacturing the above-mentioned photosensitive transfer member 100 include a method including the steps of applying a thermoplastic resin composition to the surface of the temporary support 10 and then drying the coating of the thermoplastic resin composition to form a thermoplastic resin layer 12, applying an intermediate layer composition to the surface of the thermoplastic resin layer 12 and then drying the coating of the intermediate layer composition to form an intermediate layer 14, and applying a photosensitive resin composition containing a polymer A and a polymerizable compound B1 to the surface of the intermediate layer 14 and then drying the coating of the photosensitive resin composition to form a photosensitive resin layer 16. In the above manufacturing method, it is preferable to use a thermoplastic resin composition containing at least one selected from the group consisting of an alkylene glycol ether solvent and an alkylene glycol ether acetate solvent, an intermediate layer composition containing at least one selected from the group consisting of water and a water-miscible organic solvent, and a photosensitive resin composition containing polymer A, a polymerizable compound B1, and at least one selected from the group consisting of an alkylene glycol ether solvent and an alkylene glycol ether acetate solvent. This can suppress mixing of the components contained in the thermoplastic resin layer 12 and the components contained in the intermediate layer 14 during the application of the intermediate layer composition to the surface of the thermoplastic resin layer 12 and / or the storage period of a laminate having a coating film of the intermediate layer composition, and can also suppress mixing of the components contained in the intermediate layer 14 and the components contained in the photosensitive resin layer 16 during the application of the photosensitive resin composition to the surface of the intermediate layer 14 and / or the storage period of a laminate having a coating film of the photosensitive resin composition.

[0152] A cover film 18 is pressure-bonded to the photosensitive resin layer 16 of the laminate produced by the above-mentioned production method, thereby producing a photosensitive transfer member 100.

[0156] When the photosensitive transfer member has a cover film, the cover film may be removed from the surface of the photosensitive resin layer before lamination. In addition, in the case where the photosensitive transfer member further comprises a layer other than the cover film (e.g., a high refractive index layer and / or a low refractive index layer) on the surface of the photosensitive resin layer that does not face the temporary support, the bonding process is carried out in such a manner that the surface of the photosensitive resin layer that does not have the temporary support is bonded to the substrate via that layer.

[0167] [Exposure process] The method for producing a resin pattern preferably includes, after the lamination step, a step of pattern-exposing the photosensitive resin layer (exposure step).

[0168] The detailed arrangement and specific size of the pattern in the pattern exposure are not particularly limited. In order to improve the display quality of a display device (e.g., a touch panel) equipped with an input device having a circuit wiring manufactured by the circuit wiring manufacturing method and to reduce the area occupied by the lead wiring, at least a part of the pattern (more preferably the electrode pattern of the touch panel and / or the lead wiring part) preferably includes a thin line having a width of 20 μm or less, more preferably includes a thin line having a width of 10 μm or less.

In addition, the thermoplastic resin layer and the intermediate layer in the exposed area may also be removed in a form dissolved or dispersed in the developer in the development step.

[0173] In the development step, the exposed photosensitive resin layer can be developed using a developer. The developer is not particularly limited as long as it can remove the non-image areas (non-exposed areas) of the photosensitive resin layer, and known developers such as the developer described in JP-A-5-072724 can be used.

[0176] In the etching process, the conductive layer is etched using the resin pattern formed from the photosensitive resin layer as an etching resist. As the etching method, known methods can be applied, for example, the method described in paragraphs 0209 to 0210 of JP 2017-120435 A, the method described in paragraphs 0048 to 0054 of JP 2010-152155 A, a wet etching method in which the substrate is immersed in an etching solution, and a dry etching method such as plasma etching can be mentioned.

[0178] [Removal process] In the method for producing circuit wiring, it is preferable to carry out a step of removing the remaining resin pattern (removal step). The removal step is not particularly limited and may be carried out as necessary, but is preferably carried out after the etching step. The method for removing the remaining resin pattern is not particularly limited, but includes a method of removing it by chemical treatment, and a method of removing it by using a removing liquid is preferable. The photosensitive resin layer can be removed by immersing the substrate having the remaining resin pattern in a stirring removal liquid having a liquid temperature of preferably 30 to 80°C, more preferably 50 to 80°C, for 1 to 30 minutes.

By the above steps, a second electrode pattern insulated from the first electrode pattern can be formed. The step of forming the insulating film is not particularly limited, and may be a known method for forming a permanent film. Alternatively, an insulating film having a desired pattern may be formed by photolithography using a photosensitive material having insulating properties. The step of forming a new conductive layer on the insulating film is not particularly limited, and for example, a new conductive layer having a desired pattern may be formed by photolithography using a photosensitive material having conductivity.

[0184] In the method for producing the circuit wiring, a substrate having a plurality of conductive layers on both surfaces of the substrate is used, and circuits are formed on the conductive layers formed on both surfaces of the substrate, either sequentially or simultaneously. With this configuration, a circuit wiring for a touch panel can be formed in which a first conductive pattern is formed on one surface of the substrate and a second conductive pattern is formed on the other surface. It is also preferable to form the circuit wiring for a touch panel having such a configuration from both sides of the substrate by roll-to-roll.

[0185] [Circuit wiring applications] The circuit wiring manufactured by the manufacturing method of the circuit wiring can be applied to various devices. An example of a device equipped with the circuit wiring manufactured by the manufacturing method is an input device, preferably a touch panel, more preferably a capacitive touch panel. The input device can also be applied to a display device such as an organic EL display device and a liquid crystal display device.

[0186] [Touch panel manufacturing method] The method for producing a touch panel is not particularly limited as long as it is a method for producing a touch panel using the above-mentioned photosensitive transfer member. As a method for manufacturing a touch panel, a method including a step of forming wiring for a touch panel by etching the conductive layer in an area where the resin pattern is not arranged in a laminate in which a substrate, a conductive layer, and a resin pattern manufactured using the above-mentioned photosensitive transfer member are laminated in this order is preferred, and this is more preferable when using a resin pattern manufactured by a manufacturing method including the above-mentioned lamination step, the above-mentioned exposure step, and the above-mentioned development step.

[0187] Specific aspects of each step in the method for manufacturing a touch panel, and the order in which each step is performed, are as described above in the section "Method for manufacturing circuit wiring," and the same applies to preferred aspects. The method for manufacturing the touch panel may refer to a known method for manufacturing a touch panel, except that the wiring for the touch panel is formed by the above-mentioned method. Furthermore, the method for manufacturing a touch panel may include any steps (other steps) other than those described above.

[0188] An example of a mask pattern used in manufacturing a touch panel is shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. In pattern A shown in FIG. 2 and pattern B shown in FIG. 3, SL and G are non-image areas (light-shielding areas), and DL is an imaginary representation of an alignment frame. In a method for manufacturing a touch panel, for example, a photosensitive resin layer is exposed through a mask having pattern A shown in FIG. 2 to manufacture a touch panel in which circuit wiring having pattern A corresponding to SL and G is formed. Specifically, it can be manufactured by the method shown in FIG. 1 of WO 2016 / 190405. In one example of the manufactured touch panel, G is a portion where a transparent electrode (electrode for touch panel) is formed, and SL is a portion where wiring of a peripheral extraction portion is formed.

[0189] The above-mentioned method for producing a touch panel produces a touch panel having at least a wiring for a touch panel. The touch panel preferably has a transparent substrate, an electrode, and an insulating layer or a protective layer.

[0205] [Preparation of Photosensitive Transfer Member] A PET film having a thickness of 30 μm was prepared as a temporary support. The above-mentioned thermoplastic resin composition was applied to the surface of the temporary support using a slit nozzle so that the coating width was 1.0 m and the layer thickness after drying was 4.0 μm. The formed coating film of the thermoplastic resin composition was dried at 80° C. for 40 seconds to form a thermoplastic resin layer. The intermediate layer composition was applied to the surface of the formed thermoplastic resin layer using a slit nozzle so that the coating width was 1.0 m and the layer thickness after drying was 1.2 μm. The coating of the intermediate layer composition was dried at 80° C. for 40 seconds to form an intermediate layer. On the surface of the formed intermediate layer, the photosensitive resin composition RC-1 was applied using a slit nozzle so that the coating width was 1.0 m and the layer thickness after drying was 3.0 μm. The coating film of the photosensitive resin composition RC-1 was dried at 80° C. for 40 seconds to form a photosensitive resin layer. A PET film (manufactured by Toray Industries, Inc., Lumirror 16QS62, arithmetic mean roughness (Ra value) 0.02 μm) was pressure-bonded as a cover film to the surface of the formed photosensitive resin layer, thereby producing the photosensitive transfer member of Example 1. The obtained photosensitive transfer member was wound up to prepare a roll-shaped photosensitive transfer member.

[0206] The Ra value of the cover film was measured by the following method. Using a 3D optical profiler (New View7300, manufactured by Zygo), the surface of the cover film was measured under the following conditions to obtain a surface profile of the cover film. Note that the Microscope Application of MetroPro ver8.3.2 was used as the measurement and analysis software. Next, the Surface Map screen was displayed in the above software, and histogram data was obtained in the Surface Map screen. From the obtained histogram data, the arithmetic mean roughness (Ra value) of the cover film surface was calculated.

[0209] [Evaluation of Photosensitive Transfer Member] The resolution and peelability of the photosensitive transfer member were evaluated by the following method. First, a copper layer having a thickness of 200 nm was formed by sputtering on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film having a thickness of 100 μm, thereby producing a PET substrate with a copper layer.

[0210] <Resolution> The photosensitive transfer member in the form of a roll was unwound, and the cover film was peeled off from the photosensitive transfer member. The photosensitive transfer member and the above-mentioned PET substrate with the copper layer were then bonded together so that the photosensitive resin layer and the copper layer exposed by the peeling off of the cover film were in contact with each other, to obtain a laminate. This bonding process was carried out under the conditions of a roll temperature of 100°C, a linear pressure of 1.0 MPa, and a linear speed of 4.0 m / min.

[0211] The photosensitive resin layer was exposed to light from the temporary support side of the obtained laminate through a photomask using an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp (main exposure wavelength: 365 nm). The photomask used for exposure had a line and space pattern in which the ratio of the width of the transmission region to the width of the light-shielding region (duty ratio) was 1:1, and the line width (and space width) changed stepwise from 1 μm to 20 μm in 1 μm increments. The exposure dose to the photosensitive resin layer was adjusted so that the line width of the resin pattern formed by exposure to irradiation light that passed through an area of ​​the photomask where the line width and space width of the line and space pattern were 20 μm would be 20 μm. After peeling off the temporary support from the exposed laminate, the laminate was subjected to shower development for 30 seconds using a 1.0% aqueous sodium carbonate solution at a liquid temperature of 25° C. By this development step, the unexposed photosensitive resin layer, as well as the intermediate layer and thermoplastic resin layer laminated on the unexposed photosensitive resin layer, were removed from the laminate, and a resin pattern having the above-mentioned stepwise changing line and space pattern was produced on the surface of the copper layer.

[0212] The resin pattern formed by the above method was observed for each line width using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) for the pattern shape and the presence or absence of photosensitive resin layer residues in the space portion. The minimum line width (hereinafter also referred to as "resolution") among the line widths of the resin pattern in which the cured photosensitive resin layer was not peeled off in the line portion and there was no photosensitive resin layer residue was determined, and the resolution of the resin pattern was evaluated based on the following criteria. 5: Resolution is 4μm or less 4: Resolution is 5μm or 6μm 3: Resolution is 7μm or 8μm 2: Resolution is 9μm or 10μm 1: Resolution is 11μm or more The higher the score, the better the resolution. A resolution of 3 or higher is preferred.

[0213] <Removability> A resin pattern was formed on the surface of the copper layer of a PET substrate with a copper layer according to the method described above (Evaluation of resolution), except for using a photomask having a line-and-space pattern with a duty ratio of 1:1 and a line width of 10 μm. The obtained resin pattern had a line-and-space pattern with a duty ratio of 1:1 and a line width of 10 μm.

[0214] The laminate having the resin pattern was immersed in a stripping solution (KP-301, manufactured by Kanto Chemical Co., Ltd.) at 40° C., and the stripping solution was stirred at 100 rpm. The time required from the start of immersion of the laminate in the stripping solution until the resin pattern was completely peeled off from the surface of the copper layer was measured, and the releasability of the resin pattern was evaluated based on the following criteria. 5: Peeling time is within 0.5 minutes 4: Peeling time is more than 0.5 minutes and less than 1 minute 3: Peeling time is more than 1 minute and less than 2 minutes 2: Peeling time is more than 2 minutes and less than 5 minutes 1: Peel time is over 5 minutes The higher the score, the better the releasability. A releasability of 3 or more is preferred.

[0215] [Examples 2 to 15, Comparative Examples 1 to 3] <Preparation of Photosensitive Resin Compositions RC-2 to RC-15> Photosensitive resin compositions RC-2 to RC-15 were prepared according to the method described in Example 1, except that the types and contents of each component were changed to those shown in Table 2.

In addition, the "Ratio 1" column for "Polymerizable compound B" in Table 2 indicates the mass ratio (unit: mass %) of the content of polymerizable compound B1 to the total content of polymerizable compound B contained in the photosensitive resin layer.

From the viewpoint of better peelability of the resin pattern from the substrate, it was confirmed that the content of the bifunctional ethylenically unsaturated compound relative to the content of the polymerizable compound B is preferably more than 70 mass% (comparison of Examples 7 and 12 with Examples 16 to 18).

[0227] It was confirmed that the photosensitive resin layer preferably contains a fluorine-based nonionic surfactant in terms of superior resolution of the resin pattern (comparison between Example 7 and Example 8).

[0228] It was confirmed that the arithmetic mean roughness Ra value of the surface of the cover film in contact with the photosensitive resin layer is preferably 0.1 μm or less in terms of superior resolution of the resin pattern (comparison between Example 7 and Example 15).

[0229] [Example 101] A 150 nm thick ITO film was formed as a second conductive layer on a 100 μm thick PET substrate by sputtering, and a 200 nm thick copper layer was formed on top of that as a first conductive layer by vacuum deposition to create a circuit-forming substrate. After peeling off the cover film from the photosensitive transfer member obtained in Example 1, the photosensitive transfer member and the substrate were bonded together with the copper layer in contact with the surface of the photosensitive resin layer (laminating roll temperature 100°C, linear pressure 0.8 MPa, linear speed 3.0 m / min.) to produce a laminate. Without peeling off the temporary support from the obtained laminate, a contact pattern was exposed to the photosensitive resin layer of the laminate through the temporary support using a photomask having a pattern A shown in Fig. 2, which has a configuration in which conductive layer pads are connected in one direction. For exposure, a high-pressure mercury lamp with an i-line (365 nm) as the dominant exposure wavelength was used.

[0230] Thereafter, the temporary support was peeled off from the laminate, and development and washing with water were performed to obtain a pattern A (resin pattern). Next, the copper layer in the area where the pattern A was not arranged was etched using a copper etching solution (Cu-02, manufactured by Kanto Chemical Co., Ltd.), and then the ITO layer in the area where the resin pattern was not arranged was etched using an ITO etching solution (ITO-02, manufactured by Kanto Chemical Co., Ltd.), thereby obtaining a substrate on which both copper and ITO were drawn with the pattern A.

[0231] Next, another photosensitive transfer member obtained in Example 1 was prepared, and after peeling off the cover film, the photosensitive transfer member and the laminate with the remaining resist (cured photosensitive resin layer) were again laminated under the same conditions as above. In a state where the alignment was adjusted, the photosensitive resin layer of the laminate was exposed to pattern light through the temporary support using a photomask with pattern B shown in FIG. 3 without peeling off the temporary support. For exposure, a high-pressure mercury lamp with i-line (365 nm) as the dominant exposure wavelength was used. Thereafter, the temporary support was peeled off from the laminate, and development and washing with water were performed to obtain a pattern B (resin pattern). Next, Cu-02 was used to etch the copper wiring in the area where the pattern B was not arranged. Next, the remaining resist was peeled off using a stripping solution (KP-301 manufactured by Kanto Chemical Co., Ltd.) to obtain a circuit wiring board. The obtained circuit wiring board was observed under a microscope and found to have a beautiful pattern without peeling or chipping. [Explanation of symbols]
