Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a photosensitive composition, a cured film using the same, an optical filter, an image display device, a solid-state image sensor, and an infrared sensor. [Background technology]
[0002] Video cameras, digital cameras, and portable devices with camera functions use solid-state image sensors (CCDs) and CMOSs (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductors) to produce color images. Since the light-receiving section of these solid-state image sensors uses silicon photodiodes, which are sensitive to infrared light, it is necessary to correct the luminous sensitivity, and infrared cut filters are placed accordingly. Infrared cut filters are manufactured, for example, using compositions containing near-infrared absorbing dyes.
[0003] Traditionally, infrared cut filters have been used as flat films, but in recent years, there has been research into forming patterns in infrared cut filters using photolithography. When forming patterns using photolithography, oxime compounds have been widely used as photopolymerization initiators due to their high sensitivity. However, compositions containing near-infrared absorbing dyes easily transmit active energy rays (such as i-rays), so when exposed through a photomask, the unexposed areas around the mask are easily exposed by reflected and scattered light from the substrate, and using highly sensitive oxime compounds allows the reaction to proceed easily in the areas covered by the mask. As a result, solubility in the developer decreases, the line width of the resulting pattern becomes thicker, the pattern shape deteriorates, and development residue is generated. Furthermore, when the near-infrared absorbing dye is a pigment, it is difficult to disperse, and using highly sensitive oxime compounds can lead to problems such as poor storage stability and the formation of aggregates of the near-infrared absorbing dye.
[0004] Various efforts have been made to solve the above problems. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a photosensitive composition comprising a phthalocyanine compound having an absorption maximum wavelength in the near-infrared region, a binder resin, a photopolymerizable compound, a photopolymerization initiator, and a solvent. Patent Document 2 discloses a pattern-forming composition comprising an infrared-absorbing dye and a resin having a glass transition temperature of 150 to 300°C, which is excellent in suppressing developing residue and in the shape and heat resistance of the resulting pattern.

[0006] However, none of the compositions described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 were able to satisfy all of the requirements for storage stability, development residue, generation of foreign matter, and pattern shape at a certain level or higher.
[0007] The object of this invention is to provide a photosensitive composition that has excellent storage stability, produces little developing residue, has a superior pattern shape, and can form a cured film with few foreign substances. [Means for solving the problem]

[0013] According to the present invention described above, it is possible to provide a photosensitive composition that can form a cured film with excellent storage stability, low development residue, excellent pattern shape, and low levels of foreign matter. Furthermore, the present invention can provide a cured film, an optical filter, an image display device, a solid-state image sensor, and an infrared sensor. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0014] [Figure 1] Figure 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of an infrared sensor equipped with the cured film of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0015] The following describes in detail embodiments for carrying out the photosensitive composition of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments and can be modified and implemented within the scope of solving the problem.
[0016] In this invention, unless otherwise specified, "(meth)acryloyl," "(meth)acrylic," "(meth)acrylic acid," "(meth)acrylate," or "(meth)acrylamide" means "acryloyl and / or methacryloyl," "acrylic and / or methacrylic," "acrylic acid and / or methacrylic acid," "acrylate and / or methacrylate," or "acrylamide and / or methacrylamide," respectively. Also, "CI" means Color Index (CI; issued by The Society of Dyers and Colourists). A polymerizable unsaturated group is an ethylenically unsaturated double bond. Regarding the molecular weight of the compounds in this invention, for low molecular weight compounds whose molecular weight can be determined, the value is calculated or measured by ESI-MS (electrospray ionization mass spectrometry). For compounds with a molecular weight distribution, the weight-average molecular weight in polystyrene terms is measured by gel permeation chromatography using tetrahydrofuran as the solvent. A monomer is a compound that forms a resin through polymerization. A monomer is in an unreacted state, while a monomer unit is the state in which the monomer has polymerized and formed a resin.
[0017] <Photosensitive composition> One embodiment of the present invention relates to a photosensitive composition. The photosensitive composition of the present invention is a photosensitive composition comprising a near-infrared absorbing dye (A), a polymerizable compound (B), a photopolymerization initiator (C), and a sensitizer (D), The polymerizable compound (B) contains 55% by mass or more of polymerizable compound (B1) represented by the following general formula (1) in 100% by mass of the polymerizable compound (B), The photopolymerization initiator (C) is characterized by being substantially free of oxime compounds.
[0018] General formula (1) [ka]
[0019] In general formula (1), R1 independently represents either a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and X is either a hydrogen atom or a group represented by the following general formula (2).
[0020] General formula (2) [ka]
[0021] In general formula (2), L represents a divalent linking group, and * represents a bond that connects to the oxygen atom in general formula (1).
[0022] The mechanism by which the above-described photosensitive composition can solve the problems of the present invention is not clear, but we speculate as follows.
[0023] The polymerizable compound (B1) represented by general formula (1) has hydroxyl or carboxyl groups, so the molecules are close together due to intermolecular interactions, and it is presumed that its small molecular weight makes it less susceptible to steric hindrance, and that the polymerizable unsaturated groups are close together. Therefore, it is presumed that the reaction proceeds quickly, sufficient curing occurs even without the inclusion of highly sensitive oxime compounds, and a cured film with excellent resistance to development during pattern formation is obtained, resulting in a good pattern shape. Furthermore, because it does not contain highly sensitive oxime compounds, the line width of the pattern does not increase, and storage stability is excellent. In addition, because the polymerizable compound (B1) represented by general formula (1) has hydroxyl or carboxyl groups, the unexposed areas dissolve easily in alkaline developer, resulting in less development residue. Furthermore, it is presumed that by using the sensitizer (D), the active energy rays are absorbed, and extraneous reactions are less likely to occur, resulting in less development residue and a superior pattern shape.
[0024] The components included in or potentially included in one embodiment of the photosensitive composition will be described in detail below.
[0025] [Near-infrared absorbing dye (A)] The photosensitive composition of the present invention contains a near-infrared absorbing dye (A).

A near-infrared absorbing pigment and a near-infrared absorbing dye may also be used in combination. From the viewpoint of heat resistance, a near-infrared absorbing pigment is preferred.

[0242] Organic solvent (Q) can be used alone or in combination of two or more types.
[0243] [Method for producing a photosensitive composition] The photosensitive composition of the present invention can be produced by manufacturing a dispersion by adding, for example, a near-infrared absorbing dye (A), a dispersion resin (G), and an organic solvent (Q) and performing a dispersion treatment. Subsequently, a polymerizable compound (B), a photopolymerization initiator (C), a sensitizer (D), and a binder (E) can be added to the dispersion and mixed. The timing of adding each material is arbitrary. Furthermore, the dispersion process can be performed multiple times.
[0244] Examples of distributed processing machines include two-roll mills, three-roll mills, ball mills, horizontal sand mills, vertical sand mills, annular bead mills, or attritors.
[0245] The average dispersed particle size (secondary particle size) of the near-infrared absorbing dye (A) in the dispersion is preferably 30 to 200 nm, and more preferably 40 to 200 nm. Having an appropriate particle size makes it easier to obtain a photosensitive composition with high dispersion stability.
[0246] The method for measuring the average dispersed particle diameter (secondary particle diameter) uses, for example, Nikkiso's Microtrac UPA-EX150, which employs dynamic light scattering (FFT power-spectrum method), with particle permeability set to absorption mode, particle shape to non-spherical, and D50 particle diameter as the average diameter. The diluent solvent used for measurement is the same organic solvent used for dispersion, and it is preferable to measure immediately after sample preparation of ultrasonically treated samples to obtain results with less variation.
[0247] The photosensitive composition is preferably subjected to centrifugation, sintering filter filtration or membrane filter filtration to remove coarse particles of 5 μm or larger, preferably 1 μm or larger, more preferably 0.5 μm or larger, and any mixed dust. The photosensitive composition of the present invention preferably contains substantially no particles of 0.5 μm or larger, and more preferably contains no particles of 0.3 μm or smaller.
[0248] <Cured film> The cured film of the present invention is obtained by curing a film formed using the photosensitive composition of the present invention through a process such as exposure. The cured film is preferably a film with a pattern formed on it, but it may also be a flat film.
[0249] [Method for manufacturing hardened film] The method for manufacturing a cured film is not particularly limited, and for example, it can be manufactured by a step of applying a photosensitive composition to a substrate to form a layer of the composition (1), exposing the layer in a patterned manner through a mask (2), alkaline developing the unexposed areas to form a patterned cured film (3), and heat-treating the pattern (post-bake) (4).
[0250] The method for manufacturing the cured film will be described in detail below. (Process (1)) Step (1) of forming a layer of composition involves applying the photosensitive composition onto a substrate by methods such as rotary coating, roll coating, slit coating, casting coating, or inkjet coating, and then drying (pre-baking) it at a temperature of 50 to 120°C for 10 to 120 seconds using an oven, hot plate, etc., if necessary. Examples of the substrate include glass substrates and silicon substrates. For example, an image sensor such as a CCD or CMOS may be formed on the surface of the silicon substrate. In addition, a primer layer may be provided on the substrate as needed to improve adhesion with the upper layer, prevent diffusion of materials, and flatten the substrate surface. The layer thickness is preferably 0.05 to 10.0 μm after drying, and more preferably 0.3 to 5 μm.
[0251] (Process (2)) In the exposure process, the layer obtained in step (1) is exposed to a specific pattern through a mask using an exposure device such as a stepper. This results in a cured film. Examples of radiation used for exposure include ultraviolet rays such as g-rays, h-rays, and i-rays. Light with a wavelength of 300 nm or less can also be used. Examples of light with a wavelength of 300 nm or less include KrF rays (wavelength 248 nm) and ArF rays (wavelength 193 nm). Furthermore, exposure may be performed by continuously irradiating with light, or by repeatedly irradiating and pausing with light in short cycles (e.g., milliseconds or less) (pulsed exposure).
[0252] (Step (3)) The cured film obtained in step (2) is subjected to alkaline development, which causes the unexposed portion of the composition to dissolve in the alkaline aqueous solution, leaving only the cured portion and resulting in a patterned cured film. Examples of developing solutions include alkaline compounds such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, aqueous ammonia, ethylamine, diethylamine, dimethylethanolamine, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, choline, pyrrole, piperidine, and 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-7-undecene. The developer concentration is preferably 0.001 to 10% by mass, and more preferably 0.01 to 1% by mass. The pH of the alkaline developer is preferably 11-13, and more preferably 11.5-12.5. Using a moderate pH suppresses pattern roughness and peeling, and improves the residual film rate after development.
[0253] Development methods include, for example, the dip method, spray method, and paddle method. The development temperature is preferably 15 to 40°C. After alkaline development, it is preferable to wash with pure water.
[0254] (Step (4)) The heat treatment (post-bake) involves thoroughly curing the patterned hardened film obtained in step (3) by heating. The heating temperature for post-bake is preferably 80 to 300°C. The heating time is preferably 2 minutes to 1 hour, and more preferably 3 minutes to 30 minutes. When a substrate made of a material with low heat resistance is used, or when a substrate having an organic electroluminescent element as a light source is used, the temperature is preferably 150°C or lower, and more preferably 130°C or lower.
[0255] <Optical filters> The cured film of the present invention can be used in optical filters. Examples of optical filters include infrared cut filters and infrared transmission filters. The optical filters of the present invention can be manufactured in the same manner as the cured film described above.
[0256] <Image display device> The cured film of the present invention can be used in an image display device. The form in which it is used in an image display device is not particularly limited, but it can be used in combination with a color filter containing a coloring agent.
[0257] When the cured film of the present invention and a color filter are used in combination, it is preferable that the color filter is positioned on the optical path of the cured film of the present invention. For example, the cured film of the present invention and the color filter can be laminated and used as a laminate. In the laminate, the cured film and the color filter may or may not be adjacent in the thickness direction. If the cured film and the color filter of the present invention are not adjacent, the cured film of the present invention may be formed on a substrate other than the substrate on which the color filter is formed. In addition, other components (for example, microlenses or planarization films) may be present between the cured film and the color filter of the present invention.
[0258] Examples of image display devices include liquid crystal displays and organic EL displays. For definitions of image display devices and details of various image display devices, see, for example, "Electronic Display Devices" (by Akio Sasaki, Kogyo Chosakai Co., Ltd., published in 1990) and "Display Devices" (by Junsho Ibuki, Sangyo Tosho Co., Ltd., published in 1989).
[0259] <Solid-state image sensor> The cured film of the present invention can be used in solid-state image sensors. The form in which it is used in solid-state image sensors is not particularly limited, but for example, a substrate may have a plurality of photodiodes constituting the light-receiving area of a solid-state image sensor (CCD image sensor, CMOS image sensor, or organic CMOS image sensor, etc.), and a transfer electrode made of polysilicon or the like, a light-shielding film made of tungsten or the like with an opening only for the light-receiving portion of the photodiode on the photodiode and the transfer electrode, a device protection film made of silicon nitride or the like formed on the light-shielding film so as to cover the entire surface of the light-shielding film and the light-receiving portion of the photodiode, and the cured film of the present invention on the device protection film. Furthermore, a configuration may have a light-gathering means (e.g., a microlens, etc.) on the device protection film and beneath the cured film of the present invention.
[0260] <Infrared sensor> The cured film of the present invention can be used in infrared sensors. The form in which it is used in infrared sensors is not particularly limited. Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of the configuration of an infrared sensor equipped with the cured film of the present invention. The infrared sensor shown in Figure 1 comprises a 100 and a solid-state image sensor 110.
[0261] The imaging area on the solid-state image sensor 110 is formed by combining an infrared cut filter 111 and a color filter 112.
[0262] The infrared cut filter 111 can be formed using the photosensitive composition of the present invention, and transmits light in the visible light region (e.g., light with a wavelength of 400 to 700 nm) and blocks light in the infrared region (e.g., light with a wavelength of 800 to 1,300 nm).
[0263] The color filter 112 is a color filter in which pixels that transmit and absorb light of specific wavelengths in the visible light region are formed. For example, a color filter in which red (R), green (G), and blue (B) pixels are formed is used.
[0264] Between the infrared transmission filter 113 and the solid-state image sensor 110, a resin film 114 is placed that can transmit light of wavelengths that have passed through the infrared transmission filter 113.
[0265] The infrared transmission filter 113 is a filter that has visible light shielding properties and transmits infrared rays of a specific wavelength. Preferably, the infrared transmission filter 113 shields light with wavelengths of 400 to 830 nm and transmits light with wavelengths of 900 to 1,300 nm.
[0266] A microlens 115 is positioned on the incident light h side of the color filter 112 and the infrared transmission filter 113. A planarization film 116 is formed to cover the microlens 115.
[0267] In the configuration shown in Figure 1, a resin film 114 is arranged, but an infrared transmission filter 113 may be formed instead of the resin film 114.
[0268] This infrared sensor can simultaneously capture image information, enabling motion sensing and other applications that recognize moving objects. Furthermore, because it can acquire distance information, it can capture images containing 3D data. In addition, this infrared sensor can also be used as a biometric authentication sensor.
[0269] Furthermore, the cured film of the present invention can also be used in applications such as micro-LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) and micro-OLEDs (Organic Light Emitting Diodes). While not particularly limited, it is preferably used in optical filters for micro-LEDs and micro-OLEDs. Examples of micro-LEDs and micro-OLEDs are described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2015-500562 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 2014-533890.
[0270] Furthermore, the cured film of the present invention can also be used in applications such as quantum dot displays. While not particularly limited, it is preferably used in optical filters used in quantum dot displays. [Examples]
[0271] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples. Note that "parts" refers to "parts by mass" and "%" refers to "percentage by mass". Furthermore, in this invention, non-volatile content or non-volatile content concentration refers to the mass residue after standing in an oven at 230°C for 30 minutes.
[0272] Prior to the examples, each measurement method will be described.
[0273] The weight-average molecular weight (Mw), number-average molecular weight (Mn), acid value (mgKOH / g), amine value (mgKOH / g), and glass transition temperature (Tg) of the resin are measured as follows.
[0274] (Average molecular weight of resin) The number-average molecular weight (Mn) and weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the resin were measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) equipped with a radioisotope detector. An HLC-8220GPC (Tosoh Corporation) was used, with two separation columns connected in series. Both columns were packed with two TSK-GEL SUPER HZM-N columns. Measurements were performed at an oven temperature of 40°C, using tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution as the eluent, and a flow rate of 0.35 ml / min. The sample was dissolved in a solvent consisting of 1% by mass of the above eluent, and 20 microliters were injected. Molecular weights are expressed on a polystyrene basis.
[0275] (Acid value of resin) 0.5 to 1 g of resin solution was mixed with 80 ml of acetone and 10 ml of water and stirred to dissolve uniformly. A 0.1 mol / L aqueous KOH solution was used as the titrant, and the solution was titrated using an automatic titrator ("COM-555," manufactured by Hiranuma Sangyo Co., Ltd.) to measure the acid value (mg KOH / g). The acid value per unit of non-volatile content of the resin was then calculated from the acid value of the resin solution and the concentration of non-volatile content of the resin solution.
[0276] (Amine value of resin) The amine value of the resin is calculated by converting the total amine value (mgKOH / g), which was measured according to the ASTM D 2074 method, into a non-volatile content value.
[0277] (Glass transition temperature) The glass transition temperature of the resin was measured using a differential scanning thermal analyzer. 5 mg of the sample was weighed into a sample pan and heated from -20 to 200°C at a heating rate of 10°C / min under a nitrogen atmosphere.
[0278] <Manufacturing of near-infrared absorbing dye (A)> (Near-infrared absorbing dye (A-1)) 400 parts toluene, 40.0 parts 1,8-diaminonaphthalene, 32.2 parts 3,5-dimethylcyclohexanone, and 0.087 parts p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate were mixed and heated and stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere under reflux for 3 hours. Water produced during the reaction was removed from the reaction system by azeotropic distillation. After the reaction was complete, the toluene was distilled to obtain a dark brown solid, which was extracted with acetone and purified by recrystallization in a mixed solvent of acetone and ethanol. The obtained brown solid was dissolved in a mixed solvent of 240 parts toluene and 160 parts n-butanol, and 13.8 parts 3,4-dihydroxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione were added. The mixture was heated and stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere under reflux for 8 hours. Water produced during the reaction was removed from the reaction system by azeotropic distillation. After the reaction was complete, the solvent was distilled, and 200 parts of hexane were added to the resulting reaction mixture while stirring. The resulting dark brown precipitate was filtered off, and then washed sequentially with hexane, ethanol, and acetone. The mixture was dried under reduced pressure to obtain a near-infrared absorbing dye (A-1) represented by the following chemical formula (16). Fifty parts of the obtained near-infrared absorbing dye (A-1), 500 parts of sodium chloride, and 60 parts of diethylene glycol were placed in a stainless steel gallon kneader (manufactured by Inoue Seisakusho) and kneaded at 60°C for 12 hours. Next, the kneaded mixture was added to warm water and stirred for 1 hour while heating to approximately 80°C to form a slurry. After filtering and washing with water to remove sodium chloride and diethylene glycol, the mixture was dried overnight at 80°C and then pulverized to obtain finely ground near-infrared absorbing dye (A-1).

[0280] (Near-infrared absorbing dye (A-2)) 400 parts toluene, 40.0 parts 1,8-diaminonaphthalene, 50.1 parts 2-hydroxy-9-fluorenone, and 0.087 parts p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate were mixed and heated and stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere under reflux for 3 hours. Water produced during the reaction was removed from the system by azeotropic distillation. After the reaction was complete, the toluene was distilled to obtain a dark brown solid, which was extracted with acetone and purified by recrystallization in a mixed solvent of acetone and ethanol. The obtained brown solid was dissolved in a mixed solvent of 240 parts toluene and 160 parts n-butanol, and 13.8 parts 3,4-dihydroxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione were added. The mixture was heated and stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere under reflux for 8 hours. Water produced during the reaction was removed from the system by azeotropic distillation. After the reaction was complete, the solvent was distilled, and 200 parts hexane was added to the resulting reaction mixture while stirring. After filtering off the obtained dark brown precipitate, the material was sequentially washed with hexane, ethanol, and acetone, and dried under reduced pressure to obtain a near-infrared absorbing dye (A-2) represented by the following chemical formula (17). A miniaturized near-infrared absorbing dye (A-2) was obtained using the same method as for the near-infrared absorbing dye (A-1).
[0281] Chemical formula (17) [ka]
[0282] (Near-infrared absorbing dye (A-3)) In a reaction vessel, 178 parts of 2,3-dicyanonaphthalene, 890 parts of n-amyl alcohol, 137 parts of DBU (1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene), and 40 parts of anhydrous aluminum chloride were mixed and stirred, and the mixture was heated and refluxed at 136°C for 5 hours. The reaction solution was cooled to 30°C while stirring, and then injected with stirring into a mixed solvent consisting of 5,000 parts methanol and 10,000 parts water to obtain a blue slurry. This slurry was filtered, washed with a mixed solvent consisting of 2,000 parts methanol and 4,000 parts water, and dried to obtain compound a. Next, 10 parts of compound a were added to 100 parts of concentrated sulfuric acid in a reaction vessel under ice bath conditions, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. Subsequently, 1,000 parts of this sulfuric acid solution were poured into 3°C cold water, and the resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with water, washed with a 2.5% sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, washed with water, and dried to obtain compound b. 5 parts diphenyl phosphate was added to 200 parts N-methylpyrrolidone and thoroughly mixed, then heated to 50°C. 10 parts compound b was added little by little to this solution, and the mixture was stirred at 90°C for 120 minutes. The endpoint of the reaction was confirmed, for example, by dropping the reaction solution onto filter paper until the bleeding stopped. Subsequently, 2,000 parts of deionized water were added to this reaction solution, and the resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with water, and dried to obtain the near-infrared absorbing dye (A-3) represented by the following chemical formula (18).
