Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a container and a method for storing a resin composition.
Background Art
[0002] Cyclized resins such as polyimide are excellent in heat resistance, insulation, etc., and are thus applied to various uses. Although not particularly limited, examples of the above uses include materials for insulating films and encapsulants, or utilization as protective films when taking a semiconductor device for mounting as an example. Further, it is also used as a base film or coverlay of a flexible substrate.
[0003] For example, in the above-mentioned uses, cyclized resins such as polyimide are used in the form of a resin composition containing a precursor of a cyclized resin such as a polyimide precursor. Such a resin composition can be applied to a substrate by a known coating method or the like to form a photosensitive film, and then, if necessary, exposure, development, heating, etc. are performed to form a cured product on the substrate. The precursor of the cyclized resin such as a polyimide precursor is cyclized by heating, for example, and becomes a cyclized resin such as polyimide in the cured product. Since the resin composition can be applied by a known coating method or the like, it can be said that it is excellent in manufacturing adaptability, for example, the degree of freedom in design such as the shape, size, and application position at the time of application of the applied resin composition is high. In addition to the high performance of cyclized resins such as polyimide, the industrial application and development of the above resin composition are increasingly expected from the viewpoint of such excellent manufacturing adaptability.
[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 describes a method of filling a container with a binder composition for a storage device electrode containing at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of (A) a polyamic acid, a polyamic acid derivative, and an imidized polymer thereof and water, and storing it, wherein the ratio of the volume of the void part excluding the volume occupied by the binder composition for the storage device electrode to the internal volume of the container is 1 to 20%, and it is stored at a temperature of 0°C or higher and 40°C or lower. A method for storing a binder composition for a storage device electrode is described.

[0011] (Method for manufacturing a container) The method for manufacturing a container of the present invention includes a step of filling a storage container with a resin composition containing a cyclic resin or a resin which is a precursor thereof (hereinafter also referred to as "specific resin"), an oxime-based polymerization initiator, and at least one polymerization initiator selected from the group consisting of metallocene-based polymerization initiators (hereinafter simply also referred to as "resin composition") to form a container, and a step of storing the container under temperature conditions of less than 0°C, wherein the i-line transmittance and the h-line transmittance of the storage container are both 1% or less. In the present invention, the container means a container filled with a resin composition.
[0012] According to the method for manufacturing a container of the present invention, the stability of the resin composition over time is improved. The mechanism by which the above effect is obtained is unknown, but it is presumed as follows.
[0013] Conventionally, the manufacture of a container filled with a resin composition containing a cyclic resin or a precursor thereof and a polymerization initiator has been carried out. Here, it has been found that a resin composition containing a cyclic resin or a precursor thereof has a large viscosity change over time. The viscosity change of a resin composition containing a cyclic resin or a precursor thereof has two types: a change in the direction of increasing viscosity (thickening) and a change in which the viscosity decreases (thinning). Thickening is considered to occur when the polymerization reaction of polymerizable groups contained in the cyclic resin or its precursor, polymerizable compounds, etc. partially proceeds due to the action of the polymerization initiator in the composition. Such thickening is remarkable when the composition contains at least one polymerization initiator selected from the group consisting of an oxime-based polymerization initiator and a metallocene-based polymerization initiator. Although the details of thinning are not clear, it is considered to occur when components such as acids and bases in the composition cleave the resin main chain or desorb the protecting group of the resin, causing the resin to partially become low molecular weight. In the present invention, it is considered that the thickening is suppressed by using a storage container for the container having an i-line transmittance and an h-line transmittance of 1% or less. Further, in the present invention, it is considered that by storing the container under temperature conditions of less than 0°C, cleavage of the resin main chain, elimination of the protecting group of the resin, etc. during storage are suppressed, and the above-mentioned viscosity reduction is also suppressed. As a result, according to the present invention, both thickening and viscosity reduction of the resin composition are suppressed, and the stability of the resin composition over time is improved.
[0014] In addition, in a resin composition containing a cyclic resin or a precursor thereof, in recent years, high-level resolution, realization of elongation, and suppression of coating defects have been demanded. As described above, in the present invention, it is considered that the polymerization reaction of the polymerizable group in the composition is suppressed from proceeding partially. Therefore, for example, in pattern formation by exposure and development, the resolution is considered to be improved for reasons such as improving the dissolution contrast. Specifically, there are cases where a part of the pattern is missing or a defect such as a breakage is suppressed. Furthermore, in the present invention, as described above, it is considered that the reduction in the molecular weight of the resin is suppressed. Therefore, the resolution is considered to be improved, such as the pattern (image part) remaining after development being difficult to be removed by development. Specifically, there are cases where the remaining film property after development is improved. Also, as described above, since the polymerization reaction of the polymerizable group in the composition is suppressed from proceeding partially, for example, in the case of a polyimide precursor, the imide cyclization during heating is suppressed from being inhibited by the polymer formed by the polymerization reaction. Therefore, the mechanical properties such as the elongation (e.g., breaking elongation) of the cured product are considered to be excellent. In addition, since the thickening and viscosity reduction of the resin composition are suppressed as described above, it is considered that coating defects are also suppressed. Furthermore, although the viscosity of the composition varies with temperature, it is considered that the viscosity at a low temperature below 0°C is higher than that at 25°C, for example. That is, in the storage step of the present invention, by storing at a temperature below 0°C, the viscosity can be temporarily stored in a high state. Thus, by temporarily increasing the viscosity during storage, liquid sloshing during storage is suppressed, and it is considered that the generation of bubbles in the composition due to liquid sloshing is also suppressed. For example, in the case of transporting while storing during storage, the effect of suppressing this liquid sloshing becomes remarkable. By suppressing the generation of these bubbles, it is considered that the occurrence of coating defects is suppressed. Hereinafter, the manufacturing method of the container of the present invention will be described in detail.
[0015] <Storage step> The manufacturing method of the container of the present invention includes a step of filling a storage container with a resin composition containing a resin that is a cyclic resin or its precursor, and at least one polymerization initiator selected from the group consisting of an oxime-based polymerization initiator and a metallocene-based polymerization initiator to obtain a container (also referred to as a "storage step"). Details of the resin composition will be described later.
[0016] 〔Storage container〕 The i-line transmittance and h-line transmittance of the storage container used in the storage step are both 1% or less. Here, the i-line transmittance and h-line transmittance are measured using a spectrophotometer (U-3900H manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science Corporation) on a fragment of the container body. The i-line transmittance and h-line transmittance of the storage container are preferably both 0.1% or less, and more preferably both 0.01% or less.
[0017] Also, the wall of the storage container preferably has two or more resin layers. Specifically, the storage container preferably has a resin layer that absorbs i-line and h-line, and another resin layer.
[0018] Examples of the resin layer that absorbs i-line and h-line include a resin layer containing at least one of a light-shielding pigment and an ultraviolet absorber. Examples of the light-shielding pigment include inorganic pigments such as titanium oxide, carbon black, red iron oxide, and silicon dioxide, and organic pigments such as phthalocyanine-based, quinacridone-based, and azo-based pigments. Examples of the ultraviolet absorber include salicylic acid-based ultraviolet absorbers (such as phenyl salicylate and p-octylphenyl salicylate), benzophenone-based ultraviolet absorbers (such as 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone and bis(2-methoxy-4-hydroxy-5-benzoyl-phenyl)methane), benzotriazole-based ultraviolet absorbers (such as 2-(5-methyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)benzotriazole and 2-(3-t-butyl-5-methyl-2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-chlorobenzotriazole), and cyanoacrylate-based ultraviolet absorbers (such as 2-ethylhexyl-2-cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylate and ethyl-2-cyano-3,3-diphenylacrylate).
[0019] The resin in the resin layer that absorbs i-line and h-line is not particularly limited, and examples include olefin resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene.
[0020] As another resin layer, a layer made of a resin having excellent solvent resistance is preferable. Examples of the resin having excellent solvent resistance include olefin resins, polyvinyl alcohol, poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol), polyesters, and polyphenylene oxides. These resins can be selected and used according to the components of the solvent contained in the resin composition to be stored, for example, those that are difficult to dissolve in the resin composition to be stored.
[0021] In this case, for example, the layer in contact with the resin composition of the storage container can be a resin layer having excellent solvent resistance, and the layer not in contact with the resin composition of the storage container can be a resin layer that absorbs i-line and h-line. Alternatively, the wall of the storage container can be configured to have three layers: an inner layer (the layer in contact with the resin composition), an intermediate layer (the layer in contact with the inner layer and the outer layer, e.g., a gas barrier layer, etc.), and an outer layer (the outermost layer in contact with the intermediate layer). As the inner layer, for example, a layer made of a polymer of an olefin such as ethylene, propylene, butene-1, 4-methyl-pentene-1, hexene-1, or octene-1, or a copolymer of ethylene and another olefin can be used. As the intermediate layer, a layer containing at least one selected from the group consisting of polyamide, polyvinyl alcohol, poly(ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol), polyester, and polyphenylene oxide can be used. As the outer layer, a resin layer that absorbs the above-mentioned i-line and h-line can be used. Also, the storage container may be a storage container that only contains a resin layer that absorbs the i-line and h-line.
[0022] The wall thickness of the storage container (when the wall of the storage container has two or more resin layers, the total wall thickness thereof) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.5 mm or more, more preferably 1 mm or more, and even more preferably 1.5 mm or more. The upper limit is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, 1 cm or less.
[0023] The storage container preferably has a pouring spout. Also, it is preferable that the above-mentioned pouring spout can be covered with a lid. The diameter of the pouring spout of the storage container is not particularly limited, but is preferably 5 to 50 mm, more preferably 10 to 40 mm, and even more preferably 15 to 35 mm.
[0024] The internal volume of the storage container is not particularly limited, but is preferably 10 to 50,000 mL, more preferably 30 to 30,000 mL, and even more preferably 50 to 20,000 mL.
[0025] 〔Filling method〕 The filling method is not particularly limited, and known methods can be used. For example, filling by supplying the resin composition from a nozzle, filling by transferring the resin composition from another container to a storage container, etc. can be mentioned.
[0026] 〔Filling rate〕 The porosity represented by the following formula in the container is preferably 0.01 to 30% by volume, more preferably 0.1 to 20% by volume, still more preferably 1 to 15% by volume, and still more preferably 5 to 15% by volume. Porosity (%) = (1 - (volume of the resin composition in the container / capacity of the storage container)) x 100 Also, the gas contained in the voids is preferably air. Further, the moisture content contained in the above air is preferably 20 g / m 3 or less, more preferably 18 g / m 3 or less, and still more preferably 16 g / m 3 or less. The lower limit of the above moisture content is not particularly limited and may be 0. By setting the porosity to be equal to or higher than the above lower limit, due to the radical polymerization inhibition effect by oxygen, the polymerization of the polymerizable groups contained in the resin, polymerizable compound, etc. in the resin composition is suppressed, the thickening of the resin composition is suppressed, and the resolution is considered to be improved. Also, by setting the porosity to be equal to or lower than the above upper limit, it is considered that the generation of bubbles due to liquid sloshing is suppressed.
[0027] <Storage step> The method for manufacturing the container of the present invention includes a step of storing the container under temperature conditions of less than 0°C (also referred to as the "storage step"). In the storage step, the container is preferably sealed.
[0028] The storage temperature in the storage step is less than 0°C, preferably less than -5°C, more preferably less than -10°C, and still more preferably less than -15°C. The lower limit of the storage temperature may be set within a range where the resin composition does not freeze. For example, it is preferably -40°C or higher, more preferably -30°C or higher, and even more preferably -25°C or higher. The means for achieving the storage temperature is not particularly limited, and examples include known refrigeration equipment.
[0029] The storage in the storage step may be carried out under conditions where the container is exposed to light. Also, basically under light-shielding conditions, it may be under conditions where it is temporarily exposed to light during storage. Since both the i-line transmittance and h-line transmittance of the storage container in the present invention are 1% or less, it is considered that the photosensitivity (photosensitivity of the polymerization initiator) of the resin composition is suppressed even if it is exposed to light.
[0030] During storage in the storage step, for example, the container may be transported. According to the present invention, for example, even if liquid sloshing or the like occurs during transportation, it is considered that the occurrence of coating defects is suppressed due to a temporary increase in viscosity at low temperatures.
[0031] <Other steps> The method for manufacturing the container of the present invention may further include other steps different from the storage step and the accommodation step. Examples of other steps include a step of preparing the resin composition, a step of taking out the resin composition from the container, a step of setting the temperature of the container to 0°C or higher, and the like. The step of preparing the resin composition can be carried out by the method described in the preparation of the resin composition described later. In the step of taking out the resin composition from the container, for example, the resin composition can be taken out from the above-mentioned pouring port. The step of setting the temperature of the container to 0°C or higher is preferably carried out after the storage step, and preferably before the step of taking out the resin composition from the container after the storage step. After the step of setting the temperature of the container to 0°C or higher, in order to suppress thickening, thinning, etc. of the resin composition, it is preferable to promptly carry out the step of taking out the resin composition from the container. When the temperature of the container is set to 0 °C or higher, the temperature of the container may be increased using heating means, or the temperature of the container may be increased by allowing the container to stand at room temperature or the like. In the present invention, the resin composition can also be taken out at a temperature below 0 °C and used as it is, or the temperature of the resin composition can be raised to the use temperature immediately before use.
[0032] <Resin composition> The resin composition used in the present invention contains a resin that is a cyclized resin or a precursor thereof, and at least one polymerization initiator selected from the group consisting of an oxime-based polymerization initiator and a metallocene-based polymerization initiator.
[0033] The resin composition according to the present invention is preferably used for forming a photosensitive film to be subjected to exposure and development, and is preferably used for forming a film to be subjected to exposure and development using a developer containing an organic solvent. The resin composition according to the present invention can be used, for example, for forming an insulating film of a semiconductor device, an interlayer insulating film for a rewiring layer, a stress buffer film, etc., and is preferably used for forming an interlayer insulating film for a rewiring layer. Further, the resin composition according to the present invention is preferably used for forming a photosensitive film to be subjected to negative development. In the present invention, negative development refers to development in which the unexposed portion is removed by development in exposure and development, and positive development refers to development in which the exposed portion is removed by development. As the above exposure method, the above developer, and the above development method, for example, the exposure method described in the exposure step in the description of the method for producing a cured product described later, the developer and the development method described in the development step are used.
[0034] Further, the resin composition according to the present invention preferably contains a component having a polymerizable group. When the resin composition contains a component having a polymerizable group, the resin composition according to the present invention preferably satisfies at least one of the following (1) and (2). (1) As the above resin, a resin having a polymerizable group is included. (2) Further comprising a coincidence compound Moreover, as the polymerizable group, a radical polymerizable group is preferable.
[0035] <Specific resin> The resin composition according to the present invention contains at least one resin (specific resin) selected from the group consisting of a cyclized resin and its precursor. The cyclized resin preferably is a resin containing an imide ring structure or an oxazole ring structure in the main chain structure. In the present invention, the main chain represents the relatively longest bond chain in the resin molecule. Examples of the cyclized resin include polyimide, polybenzoxazole, polyamideimide, and the like. The precursor of the cyclized resin refers to a resin that undergoes a chemical structure change to become a cyclized resin upon external stimulation. A resin that undergoes a chemical structure change by heat to become a cyclized resin is preferable, and a resin that undergoes a ring closure reaction by heat to form a ring structure and thus becomes a cyclized resin is more preferable. Examples of the precursor of the cyclized resin include a polyimide precursor, a polybenzoxazole precursor, a polyamideimide precursor, and the like. That is, the resin composition according to the present invention preferably contains, as the specific resin, at least one resin (specific resin) selected from the group consisting of polyimide, polyimide precursor, polybenzoxazole, polybenzoxazole precursor, polyamideimide, and polyamideimide precursor. The resin composition according to the present invention preferably contains polyimide or a polyimide precursor as the specific resin. Moreover, the specific resin preferably has a polymerizable group, and more preferably contains a radical polymerizable group. When the specific resin has a radical polymerizable group, the resin composition according to the present invention preferably contains a radical polymerization initiator described below, more preferably contains a radical polymerization initiator described below and a radical crosslinking agent described below. Further, if necessary, a sensitizer described below can be contained. From such a resin composition according to the present invention, for example, a negative photosensitive film is formed. Further, the specific resin may have a polarity-converting group such as an acid-decomposable group. When the specific resin has an acid-decomposable group, the resin composition according to the present invention preferably contains a photoacid generator described later. From such a resin composition according to the present invention, for example, a positive photosensitive film or a negative photosensitive film that is a chemically amplified type is formed.

[0266] 〔Evaluation of stability over time〕 Using an E-type viscometer (manufactured by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd.), the viscosity (a) immediately after liquid preparation and the viscosity of the liquid stored for two weeks at the storage temperature described in the table were measured. The viscosity change rate (%) was calculated using the following formula and evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria. Viscosity change rate (%) = absolute value of ((a) - (b)) / (b) × 100 Specifically, in each example or comparative example, the prepared resin composition or comparative composition was filled into the container described in the "Type" column of the "Container" in the table to produce a container body. The i-line transmittance of each container and the h-line transmittance of each container were described in the columns of "i-line transmittance of the container" and "h-line transmittance of the container" in the table, respectively. Also, the porosity of the container at the time of filling was taken as the value described in the column of "Container porosity" in the table. In the example where "A" was described in the "Type" column of the container, as the container, a Clean Barrier (registered trademark) bottle (4L, brown) manufactured by Nissin Cellulose Co., Ltd. was used. A perspective view showing the outline of the Clean Barrier (registered trademark) bottle (storage container) manufactured by Nissin Cellulose Co., Ltd. is shown in FIG. 1. In FIG. 1, the Clean Barrier (registered trademark) bottle (storage container 10) manufactured by Nissin Cellulose Co., Ltd. has an opening 12, and the diameter D of the opening 12 (pouring spout) is 27.8 mm. Although not shown in FIG. 1, the storage container 10 has a handle. Also, the opening 12 can be sealed with a screw cap and was sealed during storage. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the outline of the storage container 10. In FIG. 2, the resin composition 14 is filled in the storage container 10. Also, there is a void portion 16 in the storage container 10. The porosity is the value described in "Container porosity" in the table.

An enlarged view of the wall 18 of the storage container is shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the outline of the wall 18 of the storage container. In FIG. 3, the wall 18 of the storage container is composed of three layers: an outer layer 20, an intermediate layer 22, and an inner layer 24. Also in FIG. 3, 14 is the resin composition. The outer layer 20 is a resin layer made of high-density polyethylene containing a light-shielding pigment. The intermediate layer 22 is a resin layer made of a gas barrier resin. The inner layer 24 is a resin layer made of an olefin resin (high-density polyethylene). In the example where "B" is described in the "Type" column of the container, as the container, a Clean Barrier (registered trademark) bottle (4L, white) manufactured by Asahi Kasei Corporation was used. The above container contains metal oxide particles in the outer layer. In the example where "C" is described in the "Type" column of the container, as the container, a polyethylene narrow-mouth bottle with a handle manufactured by Takahashi Kasei Co., Ltd., material HDPE (high-density polyethylene), capacity 4000 mL was used. The obtained container was stored for 2 weeks under the conditions of white light at the temperature described in the "Storage Temperature" column of Table 1. From the viscosities of the composition before and after storage, the viscosity change rate was calculated according to the above formula. Using the above viscosity change rate as the index value, evaluation was performed according to the following evaluation criteria. The measurement temperature of the viscosity was set at 25°C. The evaluation results were described in the "Stability over Time" column of the table. It can be said that the smaller the viscosity change rate, the better the stability over time. - Evaluation Criteria - A: The above viscosity change rate (%) was less than 10%. B: The above viscosity change rate (%) was 10% or more and less than 30%. C: The above viscosity change rate (%) was 30% or more and less than 50%. D: The above viscosity change rate (%) was 50% or more.
[0267] 〔Evaluation of Coating Defects〕 In each example or comparative example, a container was manufactured by the same method as the evaluation of the above stability over time. The above container was stored for 2 weeks under the conditions of white light at the temperature described in the "Storage Temperature" column of Table 1. After taking out the resin composition or the comparative composition from the container after storage and returning it to 25°C, it was applied onto an 8-inch Si substrate by the spin coating method (2000 rpm, 30 seconds), and the Si substrate was heated on a hot plate at 100°C for 5 minutes in the atmosphere to obtain a coating film. The above film was evaluated with a defect evaluation apparatus SP1 (KLA Tencor), and the number of defects with a defect diameter of 10 μm or less was used as an index. It can be said that the coating defects are more suppressed as the number of defects is smaller. -Evaluation Criteria- A: The number of the above defects was less than 300. B: The number of the above defects was 300 or more and less than 1000. C: The number of the above defects was 1000 or more and less than 3000. D: The number of the above defects was 3000 or more.
[0268] 〔Evaluation of Resolution〕 In each example or comparative example, a container was manufactured in the same manner as in the evaluation of the above-mentioned stability over time. The above container was stored for 2 weeks under the conditions of the temperature described in the "Storage Temperature" column of Table 1 under white light. After taking out the resin composition or the comparative composition from the container after storage and returning it to 25°C, it was applied onto an 8-inch silicon substrate. In Examples 3 and 4, the slit coating method was used, and in other examples or comparative examples, the spin coating method was used. The silicon substrate was heated on a hot plate at 100°C for 5 minutes in the atmosphere to obtain a coating film. The coating conditions were appropriately set so that the coating film thickness was 10 μm. Next, using a photomask of a fuse box with a step of 1 μm from 5 μm to 25 μm, the coating film was exposed with an i-line stepper (NA = 0.5). The exposure amount was set to the exposure amount that minimized the minimum line width described later. After developing the exposed coating film with cyclopentanone for 60 seconds, it was rinsed with PGMEA (propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate). In the pattern obtained after development, among the line patterns where the silicon wafer is exposed between the line patterns, the line width of the one with the smallest line width was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria as the "minimum line width". It can be said that the smaller the line width, the better the resolution. For example, it represents that the metal wiring width formed in the subsequent plating process can be miniaturized, resulting in a preferable result. The measurement limit is 5 μm. The evaluation results are described in the "Resolution" column in the table. -Evaluation Criteria- A: The minimum line width was 5 μm or more and less than 8 μm. B: The minimum line width was 8 μm or more and less than 10 μm. C: The minimum line width was 10 μm or more and less than 12 μm. D: The minimum line width was 12 μm or more.
[0269] 〔Evaluation of Elongation〕 In each example or comparative example, a container was manufactured by the same method as the evaluation of the above-mentioned stability over time. The above container was stored for 3 days under the conditions of white light at the temperature described in the "Storage Temperature" column of Table 1. After returning the resin composition or comparative composition taken out from the stored container to 25 °C, it was applied onto a silicon wafer. For Examples 3 and 4, the slit coating method was used, and for other examples or comparative examples, the spin coating method was used. The above silicon substrate was heated on a hot plate in the atmosphere at 100 °C for 5 minutes to obtain a coating film (composition layer). The coating conditions were appropriately set so that the coating film thickness was 10 μm. The silicon wafer with the obtained composition layer applied thereon was dried on a hot plate at 100 °C for 45 minutes to form a photosensitive resin composition layer with a uniform thickness of 20 μm on the silicon wafer. The photosensitive resin composition layer on the silicon wafer was exposed using a broadband exposure machine (manufactured by USHIO INC.: UX-1000SN-EH01) with an exposure energy of 400 mJ / cm 2 The exposed composition layer (resin layer) was heated in a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 5 °C / min until it reached 230 °C and then heated for 3 hours. The cured resin layer was immersed in a 3 mass% hydrofluoric acid solution to peel the resin layer from the silicon wafer and obtain a resin film. A tensile strength test was conducted on the resin film peeled from the silicon wafer. The test was carried out using a tensile testing machine (Tensilon) with a crosshead speed of 300 mm / min, a sample width of 10 mm, and a sample length of 50 mm. The elongation at break was measured in accordance with JIS-K6251 (Japanese Industrial Standard) in the longitudinal and width directions of the film at 25°C and 65% RH (relative humidity). For the evaluation, the elongation at break at the time of cutting was measured 10 times each, and the arithmetic mean value was used as the index value. The results were classified as follows and evaluated according to the evaluation criteria. The evaluation results were described in the "Elongation" column in the table. The larger the above index value, the greater the elongation, indicating excellent mechanical properties. - Evaluation Criteria - A: The above index value was 60% or more. B: The above index value was 55% or more and less than 60%. C: The above index value was 50% or more and less than 55%. D: The above index value was less than 50%.
[0270] From the above results, it can be seen that the storage stability of the resin composition is improved by using the container obtained by the method for manufacturing the container of the present invention. The containers according to Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were not obtained by the method for manufacturing the container of the present invention in terms of the storage temperature and the i-line transmittance and h-line transmittance of the storage container. In such a case, it can be seen that at least the storage stability is inferior.
[0271] <Example 101> A container was manufactured by the same method as the evaluation of the above-mentioned stability over time in Example 1. The above container was stored for 2 weeks under the conditions of the temperature described in the column of "Storage Temperature" in Example 1 and under white light. The resin composition taken out from the container after the above storage was applied in layers on the surface of the copper thin layer of the resin substrate having a copper thin layer formed on the surface by a spin coating method, dried at 100°C for 5 minutes, and after forming a photosensitive film with a film thickness of 20 μm, it was exposed using a stepper (manufactured by Nikon Corporation, NSR1505 i6). The exposure was performed at a wavelength of 365 nm through a mask (a binary mask with a pattern of 1:1 line and space and a line width of 10 μm). After the above exposure, it was developed with cyclohexanone for 2 minutes and rinsed with PGMEA for 30 seconds to obtain a pattern of the layer. Next, under a nitrogen atmosphere, the temperature was raised at a rate of 10°C / min. After reaching 230°C, it was maintained at 230°C for 180 minutes to form an interlayer insulating film for a rewiring layer. This interlayer insulating film for a rewiring layer was excellent in insulation. In addition, when a semiconductor device was manufactured using these interlayer insulating films for rewiring layers, it was confirmed that it operated without problems.
