Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an LED mounting substrate with a cured film.
Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the development of information terminal devices such as smartphones and tablets, and the high definition of flat panel displays including televisions, the demand for higher performance of displays has been increasing further. Among them, as a high-performance display, a micro LED display using micro-sized LEDs has attracted attention. This display is a display that performs full-color display using micro LEDs driven by an active matrix method or the like as a light source, and has excellent contrast and color reproducibility.
[0003] For this micro LED display, it is necessary to arrange a patterned cured film (partition wall) that separates the light sources with a size corresponding to the micro LEDs that are the light sources. As a method for forming a patterned cured film, a photolithography method using a pattern mask is well known (Patent Document 1). In addition, these partition walls are required to have light-shielding properties that prevent color mixing between adjacent micro LEDs, as well as reflection characteristics that efficiently extract light from the micro LEDs.
[0004] In addition, for the production of a micro LED display, since a very large number of micro LEDs, ranging from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions, are required, an efficient mounting method on a substrate is required. For example, after applying a conductive photoresist or the like containing conductive fine particles on the surface of a printed wiring board, exposing and developing it to form conductive bumps on the electrodes of the printed wiring board, and then joining the conductive bumps and the LED electrodes through a conductive adhesive. Also, since the mounting of LEDs has become finer in pitch, the importance of a cured film (Patent Document 3) for the purpose of protecting the electrodes and improving the light extraction efficiency has also increased.

Embodiment for Carrying out the Invention
[0011] In the present invention, a photosensitive resin composition is applied to an LED mounting substrate on which a plurality of substrates having wiring electrodes, bumps formed on the wiring electrodes, and LED elements mounted on the bumps are mounted, and the gap between the LED element and the substrate having the wiring electrodes and the space between adjacent LED elements are collectively filled with a coating film. A step of drying the coating film to form a dry film, a step of exposing the dry film, a step of developing and removing unnecessary portions in the dry film after the exposure, and a step of curing the coating film after the development to form a cured film are sequentially performed. This is a method for manufacturing an LED mounting substrate with a cured film.
[0012] <LED mounting substrate> The LED mounting substrate in the present invention refers to, for example, a substrate as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a view of the LED mounting substrate seen from above, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A' of FIG. 1. Wiring electrodes 2 are arranged on and inside the substrate 1, and a part of the wiring electrodes at the portion connected to the LED electrode 3 is exposed. On the exposed wiring electrodes, bumps 4 formed of a conductive material are formed, and the LED element 5 is mounted via the bumps. Examples of the substrate include a glass plate, a resin plate, a resin film, and the like. Examples of the wiring electrodes include metal electrodes and the like. As for the LED element, there may be two LED electrodes on one side or one LED electrode on each of the two sides.
[0013] <Step of providing a coating film of the photosensitive resin composition> As a process of forming a coating film of a photosensitive resin composition on an LED mounting substrate, for example, methods using microgravure coating, spin coating, dip coating, curtain flow coating, roll coating, spray coating, slit coating, etc. can be mentioned. Among them, from the viewpoint of improving film flatness, spin coating and slit coating are preferable. Using these methods, the gaps between the LED elements and the wiring electrodes on the substrate and the spaces between adjacent LED elements are filled with the coating film. The filling here means providing a coating film in the gaps between the LED elements and the wiring electrodes on the substrate and the spaces between adjacent LED elements. The photosensitive resin composition is preferably a photosensitive colored resin composition. A photosensitive colored resin composition refers to a colored photosensitive resin composition that is not colorless and transparent. By being a photosensitive colored resin composition, the light emission characteristics of the LED mounting substrate are improved by improving the light extraction efficiency from the LED elements and suppressing stray light, etc. Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a state in which a coating film of a photosensitive resin composition is formed on an LED mounting substrate.
[0014] <Process of drying the coating film to form a dry film> As a process of drying the coating film to form a dry film, for example, methods using heating devices such as hot plates, vacuum dryers, vacuum hot plates, ovens, etc. can be mentioned. The drying temperature is preferably 10 to 110 °C, and the drying time is preferably 30 seconds to 30 minutes. Fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a state in which a dry film of a photosensitive resin composition is formed on an LED mounting substrate.
[0015] <Process of exposing the dry film> Regarding the process of exposing the dry film, the exposure may be performed through a desired mask or without a mask. Examples of exposure machines include steppers, mirror projection mask aligners (MPA), parallel light mask aligners (hereinafter, "PLA"), etc. The exposure intensity is 10 to 4000 J / m 2The degree (converted to the exposure dose at a wavelength of 365 nm) is common. Examples of the exposure light source include ultraviolet rays such as i-line, g-line, and h-line, KrF (wavelength 248 nm) laser, ArF (wavelength 193 nm) laser, and the like. Fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram when exposing the dry film of the photosensitive resin composition through a mask.
[0016] <Step of developing and removing unnecessary portions in the dry film after the exposure> Examples of the step of developing and removing unnecessary portions in the dry film after the exposure include developing methods such as shower, dipping, and paddle. The immersion time in the developer is preferably 5 seconds to 5 minutes. Examples of the developer include inorganic alkalis such as hydroxides, carbonates, phosphates, silicates, and borates of alkali metals, amines such as 2 - diethylaminoethanol, monoethanolamine, and diethanolamine, and alkaline developers such as aqueous solutions containing quaternary ammonium salts such as tetramethylammonium hydroxide and choline. After development, it is preferable to rinse with water. For the purpose of protecting the electrodes, it is preferable to leave the film after development at least around the bumps and the wiring electrodes. As a method, a method of dissolving the dry film from the upper layer and rinsing away the developer when the bottom of the substrate can be visually confirmed can be mentioned. The gap portion of the substrate having the LED element and the wiring electrode has a very small space and it is difficult for the developer to penetrate, so the dissolution of the dry film progresses more slowly compared to other portions. Therefore, it is possible to leave the film after development around the bumps and the wiring electrodes. Fig. 6 shows a schematic diagram of the coated film after development of the photosensitive resin composition formed on the LED mounting substrate. As shown in Fig. 6, it can be seen that the film after development remains in the gap portion.
[0017] <Step of converting the coated film after the development into a cured film> Examples of the step of converting the coated film after the development into a cured film include a thermal curing method of heating by applying heat using a hot plate, an oven, etc., and a photocuring method of irradiating light with an ultraviolet lamp, an LED lamp, etc. The thermal curing temperature is preferably 60 to 230 °C, and the thermal curing time is preferably about 15 minutes to 2 hours. For photocuring, the exposure intensity is 10 to 4000 J / m 2The degree (converted to the exposure amount at a wavelength of 365 nm) is preferable. As a method for curing the coating film after development, from the viewpoint of being able to efficiently cure the coating film after development regardless of the formation location, a thermal curing method is preferable. By making the coating film after development into a cured film, the cross-linking reaction of the resin proceeds, and the reliability of the cured film is improved. FIG. 7 shows a cross-sectional view of a state in which a cured film of the photosensitive resin composition is formed on the LED mounting substrate.
[0018] <Bump> The bump in the present invention is formed on the wiring electrode of the substrate. FIG. 8 shows an example of a substrate on which the bump 4 is formed. The bump in the present invention is preferably formed of a conductive material, and may be a metal such as solder, a mixture with a resin, or the like. The bump in the present invention is more preferably a bump made of a composite material of (A) an organic component and (B) conductive particles. Since the bump made of the composite material of (A) an organic component and (B) conductive particles has low rigidity, the mountability of the LED chip can be improved.
[0019] As a method for forming a bump made of a composite material of (A) an organic component and (B) conductive particles on the wiring electrode, there are a pattern printing method such as screen printing or gravure printing of a photosensitive conductive paste, a laser etching method for removing unnecessary parts after rough pattern printing, a photolithography method by exposing and developing the photosensitive conductive paste, and the like. Among them, since fine patterning is possible, a method of forming a pattern by an exposure and development process using a photosensitive conductive paste is preferable.
[0020] In the photolithography method, as the light source during exposure, an ultra-high pressure mercury lamp, a laser, the i-line (365 nm) or h-line (405 nm) of an LED is preferably used. In the photolithography method, examples of the developer include aqueous solutions of tetramethylammonium hydroxide, diethanolamine, diethylaminoethanol, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, triethylamine, diethylamine, methylamine, dimethylamine, dimethylaminoethyl acetate, dimethylaminoethanol, dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, cyclohexylamine, ethylenediamine, or hexamethylenediamine.
[0021] The shape of the pattern is not particularly limited, and examples include a rectangular shape, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a triangular shape, a polygonal shape, and combinations thereof. The shape of the pattern can be determined according to the shape of the electrode on the LED side.
[0022] The thickness B of the bump H is preferably 0.1 to 5.0 μm. In the case of the substrate on which the bumps shown in FIG. 8 are formed, the thickness of the bump is denoted by the symbol B H is represented. The thickness B of the bump H By setting the thickness of the bump B to 0.1 μm or more, the impact during LED mounting can be mitigated, and the mountability can be improved. The thickness B of the bump H is more preferably 1.0 μm or more, and even more preferably 1.5 μm or more. Here, "mountability" refers to a state in which the two electrodes of the LED and the two electrodes on the LED mounting substrate side can be electrically connected to each other, and it can be evaluated by applying a voltage to a plurality of fabricated LED mounting substrates and counting the number of lit LEDs. On the other hand, by setting the thickness B of the bump H to 5.0 μm or less, the spread of the bump during mounting can be suppressed, and the mountability can be enhanced by suppressing short-circuiting with the surrounding electrodes. The thickness B of the bump H is more preferably 3.5 μm or less. The thickness of the bump can be measured by non-contact measurement using a laser microscope.
[0023] (A) Organic component (A) The organic component includes those mainly composed of an acrylic copolymer, an epoxy resin, a silicone resin, a polyimide resin, a phenol resin, etc., and preferably contains an acrylic copolymer having a carboxyl group and an epoxy resin. By containing an acrylic copolymer having a carboxyl group and an epoxy resin in the organic component, the carboxyl group and the epoxy group undergo a thermosetting reaction with the organic component in the bump and the insulating layer, so that the adhesion between the LED electrode and the bump after thermocompression bonding can be improved, and the connection reliability can be further enhanced.
[0024] As the carboxyl group-containing acrylic copolymer, a copolymer of an acrylic monofunctional monomer and an unsaturated acid or its acid anhydride is preferred.
[0025] Examples of acrylic monofunctional monomers include methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, isopropane acrylate, glycidyl acrylate, butoxy triethylene glycol acrylate, dicyclopentanyl acrylate, dicyclopentenyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, isobornyl acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate, isodecyl acrylate, isooctyl acrylate, lauryl acrylate, 2-methoxyethyl acrylate, methoxyethylene glycol acrylate, methoxydiethylene glycol acrylate, octafluoropentyl acrylate, phenoxyethyl acrylate, stearyl acrylate, trifluoroethyl acrylate, aminoethyl acrylate, phenyl acrylate, phenoxyethyl acrylate, 1-naphthyl acrylate, 2-naphthyl acrylate, thiophenol acrylate, benzyl mercaptan acrylate, acrylamide, N-methoxymethyl acrylamide, N-ethoxymethyl acrylamide, N-n-butoxymethyl acrylamide, N-isobutoxymethyl acrylamide, methacryl phenol, methacrylamide phenol, γ-acryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)acrylamide, N-(3-hydroxyphenyl)acrylamide, N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acrylamide, o-hydroxyphenyl acrylate, m-hydroxyphenyl acrylate, p-hydroxyphenyl acrylate, o-hydroxystyrene, m-hydroxystyrene, p-hydroxystyrene, 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl acrylate, 2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl acrylate, 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl acrylate, and the like. Two or more of these may be used. Among these, ethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, and isobornyl acrylate are preferred.
[0026] Examples of the unsaturated acid or its acid anhydride include acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, crotonic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, vinyl acetate, and acid anhydrides thereof. Two or more of these may be used. The acid value of the carboxyl group-containing acrylic copolymer can be adjusted by the copolymerization ratio of the unsaturated acid.
[0027] Examples of the epoxy resin include bisphenol A type, cresol novolak type, phenol novolak type, bisphenol A novolak type, dicyclopentadiene type, naphthalene type, etc. Among them, those having a softening point of 30°C or higher and 100°C or lower are preferable. If the softening point is 30°C or higher, the occurrence of short-circuit defects with adjacent bumps due to excessive flow during heat pressure bonding can be suppressed, and if it is 100°C or lower, component mounting at low temperature becomes possible. More specifically, EPICRON N-660, EPICRON N-670, EPICRON N-680, EPICRON N-770, EPICRON N-775, EPICLON 840, EPICRON N-865, EPICRON N-890, EPICRON HP-7200L, EPICRON HP-7200, EPICRON HP-7200H, EPICRON HP-4700 manufactured by DIC Corporation, KAYARAD NC-3000, NC-3000H manufactured by Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd., etc. are included. Two or more of these may be used.
[0028] (B) Conductive particles (B) Examples of the conductive particles include particles such as silver, gold, copper, platinum, lead, tin, nickel, aluminum, tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, titanium, indium, magnesium, cobalt, zinc, potassium, lithium, iron, mercury, beryllium, cadmium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, and alloys thereof, and carbon black. Two or more of these may be contained. Among these, from the viewpoint of conductivity, metal particles selected from silver, gold, and copper are preferable, and silver particles are more preferable from the viewpoints of cost and stability. Further, the (B) conductive particles may be those having a surface coated with a resin, an inorganic oxide, or the like. Conductive particles having the surface of resin particles coated with a metal are preferable because of the elastic repulsion by the resin particles during transfer.
[0029] The aspect ratio, which is the value obtained by dividing the major axis length of the (B) conductive particles by the minor axis length, is preferably 1.1 to 2.0. Here, the aspect ratio of the (B) conductive particles can be calculated from the average values of the major axis lengths and minor axis lengths of 100 randomly selected primary particles of the (B) conductive particles observed at a magnification of 15,000 times using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) or a transmission electron microscope (TEM).
[0030] The average particle diameter of the (B) conductive particles is preferably 0.05 to 1.0 μm. When the average particle diameter is 0.05 μm or more, the number of conductive paths in the bump increases, and the electrical connection reliability can be further enhanced. On the other hand, when the average particle diameter is 1.0 μm or less, the surface smoothness, pattern accuracy, and dimensional accuracy of the obtained bump can be improved. Here, the average particle diameter of the (B) conductive particles can be measured using a laser irradiation type particle size distribution meter. The D50 value of the particle size distribution obtained by the measurement is taken as the average particle diameter (D50) of the conductive particles.
[0031] (A) It is preferable that the proportion of (B) conductive particles in the total weight of the bump made of the composite material of the organic component and (B) conductive particles is 50 to 90 wt%. When the proportion of (B) conductive particles is 50 wt% or more, the number of conductive paths formed in the bump increases, and the electrical connection reliability can be further improved. The proportion of (B) conductive particles is more preferably 60 wt% or more. Also, when the proportion of (B) conductive particles is 90 wt% or less, the rigidity of the bump decreases and the catching property increases, so that the positioning accuracy can be increased and the mountability can be further improved. In addition, by increasing the content of the organic component and improving the adhesion between the bump and the electrode of the LED, the connection reliability can be further improved. The proportion of (B) conductive particles is more preferably 80 wt% or less. The proportion of (B) conductive particles in the total weight of the bump can be calculated from the residual weight obtained by scraping off the bump on the substrate and burning off the organic component by thermogravimetric analysis.
[0032] <Photosensitive resin composition> The photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is a material whose solubility in a developer changes by the action of light. From the viewpoint of improving the reflectance and light-shielding property of the cured film, it is preferable that the photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains (G) a coloring pigment. The photosensitive resin composition containing (G) a coloring pigment becomes a photosensitive colored resin composition. Further, as the photosensitive colored resin composition of the present invention, in addition to (G) a coloring pigment, it is preferable to contain (C) a resin, (D) a photopolymerization initiator, (E) a photopolymerizable compound, and (F) an organic solvent. The viscosity of the photosensitive colored resin composition of the present invention at 25°C is preferably 30 mPa·s or less, more preferably 10 mPa·s, from the viewpoint of filling the gap between the LED element and the wiring electrode on the substrate and the space between adjacent LED elements without defects such as bubbles. It is preferable because the reliability of the LED element can be improved by filling the gap between the LED element and the wiring electrode on the substrate and the space between adjacent LED elements without defects. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of suppressing fluidity and improving the film thickness uniformity of the coating film, it is preferably 1 mPa·s or more, more preferably 2 mPa·s or more. The viscosity is the value at 100 rpm measured by a cone plate type viscometer with the temperature set at 25.0 ± 0.2°C.

By containing 10 mol% or more of the total content of the repeating unit represented by formula (1) and formula (2), the contrast in the degree of curing between the exposed part and the unexposed part is obtained, and the resolution can be improved. On the other hand, by containing these repeating units at 50 mol% or less, excessive curing of the exposed part can be suppressed, and the resolution can be further improved.
[0039] The content ratio of the organosilane unit containing the repeating unit represented by formula (1) and the repeating unit represented by formula (2) is 29 It can be determined by performing Si-NMR measurement and calculating the ratio of the integral value of Si derived from the organosilane unit having the repeating unit represented by formula (1) and the repeating unit represented by formula (2) to the integral value of the total Si derived from the organosilane. Further, the siloxane resin preferably contains a repeating unit represented by formula (3) and / or a repeating unit represented by formula (4).

By containing these repeating units in an amount of 5 mol% or more, development residues can be further suppressed. On the other hand, by containing these repeating units in an amount of 20 mol% or less, the resolution can be further improved.
[0043] The content ratio of the organosilane unit containing the repeating unit represented by the formula (3) and the repeating unit represented by the formula (4) is 29 It can be determined by performing Si-NMR measurement and calculating the ratio of the integral value of Si derived from the organosilane unit having the repeating unit represented by the formula (3) and the repeating unit represented by the formula (4) to the integral value of the total Si derived from the organosilane. In addition, the (C-1) siloxane resin may contain other repeating units. As the other repeating units, repeating units having non-aromatic functional groups are preferable, and by having these repeating units, the light resistance can be improved.
[0044] The repeating units represented by the formulas (1) to (4) are each derived from the organosilane compounds represented by the formulas (5) to (8). That is, the repeating unit represented by the formula (1) and / or the repeating unit represented by the formula (2) is derived from the organosilane compound represented by the formula (5) and / or the organosilane compound represented by the formula (6).

The (C-1) polysiloxane resin having the repeating units represented by the formulas (1) to (4) can be obtained by hydrolyzing and polycondensing the corresponding organosilane compounds represented by the formulas (5) to (8).

When the photosensitive colored resin composition contains a crosslinking agent, the crosslinking of the siloxane resin is promoted during thermosetting, and the degree of crosslinking of the cured film becomes high.

Two or more of these may be contained.
[0082] The solid content concentration of the photosensitive colored resin composition of the present invention can be arbitrarily set according to the coating method and the like. For example, when forming a film by spin coating as described later, it is general to set the solid content concentration to 5% by weight or more and 50% by weight or less. The solid content here means all the components in the photosensitive colored resin composition excluding volatile components such as solvents. The amount of the solid content can be determined by weighing the residue obtained by heating the photosensitive colored resin composition at 250 °C for 30 minutes to evaporate the volatile components.
