The photosensitive element according to this embodiment may include a protective layer disposed on the photosensitive resin layer. The photosensitive element according to this embodiment may include a cushion layer, an adhesive layer, a light-absorbing layer, a gas barrier layer, etc. The photosensitive element may be in the form of a sheet, or it may be in the form of a photosensitive element roll wound in a roll shape on a core.

[0127] Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of a photosensitive element. As shown in Figure 1, the photosensitive element 1 comprises a support (support film) 2, a photosensitive resin layer (photosensitive film) 3 disposed on the support 2, and a protective layer (protective film) 4 disposed on the photosensitive resin layer 3. The photosensitive resin layer 3 is made of a photosensitive resin composition according to this embodiment.

[0128] The photosensitive element 1 can be obtained, for example, by the following procedure. First, a photosensitive resin layer 3 is formed on the support 2. The photosensitive resin layer 3 can be formed, for example, by applying a photosensitive resin composition containing an organic solvent and drying the resulting coating layer. Next, a protective layer 4 is placed on the photosensitive resin layer 3.

[0129] The support and protective layer may each be a polymer film having heat resistance and solvent resistance, and may be polyester film (polyethylene terephthalate film, etc.), polyolefin film (polyethylene film, polypropylene film, etc.), hydrocarbon polymer (excluding polyolefin film), etc. The type of film constituting the protective layer and the type of film constituting the support may be the same or different.

[0130] The thickness of the support may be 1 μm or more, 5 μm or more, 10 μm or more, or 15 μm or more, from the viewpoint of easily suppressing damage to the support when peeling the support from the photosensitive resin layer. The thickness of the support may be 100 μm or less, 50 μm or less, 30 μm or less, or 20 μm or less, from the viewpoint of easily exposing the support when exposure is performed through the support.

[0131] The thickness of the protective layer may be 1 μm or more, 5 μm or more, 10 μm or more, or 15 μm or more, from the viewpoint of easily suppressing damage to the protective layer when laminating the photosensitive resin layer and support onto the substrate while peeling off the protective layer. The thickness of the protective layer may be 100 μm or less, 50 μm or less, or 30 μm or less, from the viewpoint of easily improving productivity.

[0132] <Method for manufacturing laminates> The method for manufacturing a laminate according to this embodiment comprises: a photosensitive resin layer placement step of arranging a photosensitive resin layer on a substrate (e.g., a substrate) using a photosensitive element or photosensitive resin composition according to this embodiment; an exposure step of photocuring (exposing) a part of the photosensitive resin layer; a developing step of removing at least a part of the uncured (unexposed) part of the photosensitive resin layer to form a cured product pattern; and a metal layer formation step of forming a metal layer on at least a part of the portion of the substrate where the cured product pattern has not been formed. The laminate according to this embodiment is obtained by the method for manufacturing a laminate according to this embodiment and may be a wiring board (e.g., a printed circuit board). The laminate according to this embodiment may also comprise a substrate, a cured product pattern (cured product according to this embodiment) arranged on the substrate, and a metal layer arranged on at least a part of the portion of the substrate where the cured product pattern has not been formed.

[0133] In the photosensitive resin layer placement step, a photosensitive resin layer made of the photosensitive resin composition according to this embodiment is placed on the substrate. For example, the photosensitive resin layer may be formed by removing the protective layer from the photosensitive element and then pressing the photosensitive resin layer of the photosensitive element onto the substrate while heating it, or it may be formed by coating and drying the photosensitive resin composition on the substrate.

[0134] In the exposure process, an active light may be irradiated onto the photosensitive resin layer with a mask placed on it to expose and photocure the areas of the photosensitive resin layer other than the area where the mask is placed. Alternatively, without using a mask, an active light may be irradiated in a desired pattern using a direct writing exposure method such as LDI exposure or DLP exposure to expose and photocure a portion of the photosensitive resin layer. As a light source for the active light, an ultraviolet light source or a visible light source may be used, and examples include carbon arc lamps, mercury vapor arc lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, xenon lamps, gas lasers (argon lasers, etc.), solid-state lasers (YAG lasers, etc.), and semiconductor lasers.

[0135] The development method in the development process may be, for example, wet development or dry development. Wet development can be performed using a developer corresponding to the photosensitive resin composition, for example, by methods such as dipping, paddle, spraying, brushing, slapping, scrubbing, or agitation immersion. The developer is appropriately selected according to the composition of the photosensitive resin composition and may be an alkaline developer or an organic solvent developer.

[0136] The alkaline developer may be an aqueous solution containing a base such as: alkali hydroxides such as lithium, sodium, or potassium hydroxide; alkali carbonates such as lithium, sodium, potassium, or ammonium carbonates or bicarbonates; alkali metal phosphates such as potassium phosphate and sodium phosphate; alkali metal pyrophosphates such as sodium pyrophosphate and potassium pyrophosphate; borax; sodium metasilicate; tetramethylammonium hydroxide; ethanolamine; ethylenediamine; diethylenetriamine; 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol; 1,3-diamino-2-propanol; or morpholine.

[0137] The organic solvent developer may contain organic solvents such as 1,1,1-trichloroethane, N-methylpyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylformamide, cyclohexanone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and γ-butyrolactone.

[0138] The metal layer in the metal layer formation process may be, for example, a metallic copper layer. The metal layer can be formed, for example, by plating. The plating process may be either electrolytic plating or electroless plating, or both.

[0139] The manufacturing method of the laminate according to this embodiment involves heating at 60 to 250°C or 0.2 to 10 J / cm² after the development step. 2 The process may include a step of further curing the resist pattern by exposure.

[0140] The manufacturing method of the laminate according to this embodiment may include a step of removing the cured material pattern after the metal layer formation step. The cured material pattern can be removed, for example, by developing using a strongly alkaline aqueous solution in an immersion method, spray method, or the like.

[0141] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a method for manufacturing a laminate (a method for manufacturing a wiring board). In this example of a method for manufacturing a laminate, first, a substrate (for example, a circuit-forming substrate) 10 is prepared, which comprises an insulating layer 10a and a conductor layer 10b disposed on the insulating layer 10a, as shown in Figure 2(a). The conductor layer 10b may be, for example, a metallic copper layer.

[0142] Next, as shown in Figure 2(b), a photosensitive resin layer 12 is placed on the conductive layer 10b of the substrate 10 (photosensitive resin layer placement step). In the photosensitive resin layer placement step, the photosensitive resin layer 12 is placed on the conductive layer 10b of the substrate 10 using a photosensitive element or photosensitive resin composition according to this embodiment.

[0143] Next, as shown in Figure 2(c), with the mask 14 placed on the photosensitive resin layer 12, the active light L is irradiated to expose and photo-cure the areas of the photosensitive resin layer 12 other than the area where the mask 14 is placed.

[0144] Next, after removing the mask 14, as shown in Figure 2(d), the areas of the photosensitive resin layer other than the photocured portion (uncured portion) are removed from the substrate 10 by development to form a resist pattern 12a consisting of the photocured portion (cured product of the photosensitive resin layer).

[0145] Next, as shown in Figure 2(e), a wiring layer (metal layer) 16 is formed in the portion of the conductive layer 10b of the substrate 10 where the resist pattern 12a is not formed. The wiring layer 16 may be made of the same material as the conductive layer 10b, or it may be made of a different material.

[0146] Next, as shown in Figure 2(f), the resist pattern 12a is removed, and the conductive layer 10b located at the position corresponding to the resist pattern 12a is removed to form the conductive layer 10c. This results in a wiring board 18 having a conductive layer 10c and a wiring layer 16 arranged on the insulating layer 10a. The conductive layer 10b can be removed by etching. The etching solution is appropriately selected according to the type of conductive layer 10b, and may be, for example, a cupric chloride solution, a ferric chloride solution, an alkaline etching solution, a hydrogen peroxide etching solution, etc. [Examples]

[0164] <Fabrication of photosensitive elements> A polyethylene terephthalate film with a thickness of 16 μm (manufactured by Toray Industries, Inc., product name "FB-40") was prepared as a support. After applying the above-mentioned photosensitive resin composition to the support so as to ensure uniform thickness, a photosensitive resin layer (photosensitive film; thickness after drying: 19 μm) was formed by sequentially drying it in a hot air convection dryer at 70°C and 110°C. By laminating a polyethylene film (manufactured by Tamapoly Co., Ltd., product name "NF-15") as a protective layer to this photosensitive resin layer, a photosensitive element comprising the support, photosensitive resin layer, and protective layer in that order was obtained.

[0165] <Rating> (Evaluation of absorbance) The absorbance (Abs) at a wavelength of 405 nm in the photosensitive resin layer of the above-mentioned photosensitive element was measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, product name: U-3310 Spectrophotometer). Polyethylene terephthalate film and polyethylene film were used as references. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0166] (Fabrication of laminates) A copper-clad laminate (substrate, manufactured by Showa Denko Materials Co., Ltd., product name: MCL-E-67) with copper foil (thickness: 18 μm) arranged on both sides of a glass epoxy material was pickled and washed with water, then dried with an airflow. Next, the copper-clad laminate was heated to 80°C, and while peeling off the protective layer, the above-mentioned photosensitive element was laminated so that the photosensitive resin layer was in contact with the copper surface, thereby obtaining a laminate comprising the copper-clad laminate, the photosensitive resin layer, and the support in that order. Lamination was performed using a 110°C heat roll with a pressing pressure of 0.4 MPa and a roll speed of 1.5 m / min.

[0167] (Sensitivity evaluation) After placing a 41-step tablet (manufactured by Showa Denko Materials Co., Ltd.) on the laminated support described above, the photosensitive resin layer was exposed through the support using a direct writing exposure machine (manufactured by Via Mechanics Co., Ltd., product name: DE-1UH) with a blue-violet laser diode of wavelength 405 nm as the light source, at an exposure dose (irradiation energy amount) such that 15 steps remained after development of the 41-step tablet. The exposure dose at this time (unit: mJ / cm²) 2 Sensitivity (light sensitivity) was evaluated using the following method. The results are shown in Table 1. A lower exposure amount indicates better sensitivity.

[0168] (Evaluation of resolution) After placing a 41-step tablet (manufactured by Showa Denko Materials K.K.) on the laminated support described above, a direct-writing exposure machine (manufactured by Via Mechanics Co., Ltd., product name: DE-1UH) using a blue-violet laser diode with a wavelength of 405 nm as the light source was used to expose (write) the photosensitive resin layer through the support without offset, using a line width (L) / space width (S) (hereinafter referred to as "L / S") of 3x / x (x=1~20, unit: μm, 1 μm interval). The exposure amount (irradiation energy amount) was such that 15 steps remained after development of the 41-step tablet. Within 3 minutes after exposure, post-exposure baking (PEB) was performed using a heated oven at 80°C for 30 seconds.

[0169] After exposure, the support was peeled from the laminate to expose the photosensitive resin layer, and the unexposed areas were removed by spraying a 1% by mass sodium carbonate aqueous solution at 30°C for twice the minimum development time. After development, the resolution was evaluated by the minimum space width (in μm) in the resist pattern where the space areas (unexposed areas) were completely removed without residue, and the line areas (exposed areas) were formed without meandering or missing lines. The results are shown in Table 1. A smaller value indicates better resolution.

[0170] The minimum development time mentioned above was evaluated in advance using the following procedure. First, the laminate described above was cut into a square shape (5 cm × 5 cm), and then the support was peeled off to obtain a test specimen. Next, the unexposed photosensitive resin layer on the test specimen was spray-developed at a pressure of 0.15 MPa using a 1 mass% sodium carbonate aqueous solution at 30°C, and the shortest time at which the removal of the unexposed photosensitive resin layer could be visually confirmed was obtained as the minimum development time (MD). A full-cone type nozzle was used. The distance between the test specimen and the nozzle tip was 6 cm, and the specimen was positioned so that its center coincided with the center of the nozzle.

[0171] (Evaluation of adhesion) After placing a 41-step tablet (manufactured by Showa Denko Materials K.K.) on the aforementioned laminated support, exposure (writing) was performed on the photosensitive resin layer through the support without offset, using a direct writing exposure machine (manufactured by Via Mechanics Co., Ltd., product name: DE-1UH) with a blue-violet laser diode of wavelength 405 nm as the light source, with an exposure amount (irradiation energy amount) such that 15 steps remained after development of the 41-step tablet. Within 3 minutes after exposure, post-exposure baking (PEB) was performed using a heated oven at 80°C for 30 seconds.

[0172] After exposure, the support was peeled from the laminate to expose the photosensitive resin layer, and the unexposed areas were removed by spraying a 1% by mass sodium carbonate aqueous solution at 30°C for twice the minimum development time. After development, adhesion was evaluated by the minimum line width (in μm) of the resist pattern formed where the empty areas (unexposed areas) were completely removed and the line areas (exposed areas) were formed without meandering or chipping. The results are shown in Table 1. A smaller value indicates better adhesion.
