Resin composition, cured product, electronic component, and display device
[0001] The present invention relates to a resin composition containing a soluble resin, an organic salt, and a solvent, a cured product obtained by curing the resin composition, an electronic component including the cured product, and a display device including the cured product.
[0002] Polyimide-based materials and polybenzoxazole-based materials, which have excellent heat resistance, electrical insulation, and mechanical properties, are widely used for surface protection films and interlayer insulating films of electronic components. In the manufacturing process of electronic components, a metal layer may be formed on an insulating film. However, if the adhesion between the two is insufficient, peeling occurs at the interface, resulting in poor reliability of the electronic components. Therefore, materials used for insulating films must have excellent adhesion to the metal layer, and during evaluation at the development stage, they must also have excellent adhesion to the metal substrate.
[0003] To address this issue, resin compositions containing additives such as basic nitrogen-containing compounds and thiol derivatives have been disclosed (see Patent Documents 1 to 3).
[0004] Furthermore, in order to satisfy the demand for microfabrication necessary for the high integration of electronic components, a resin composition that contains a photosensitizer and can be patterned using a photolithography method may be used for the insulating film. In this case, a resin composition that can be patterned into a fine pattern of about several μm to several tens of μm is preferably used.

Furthermore, the dicarboxylic acid and the diamine react sufficiently to obtain the organic salt (B) having the structure represented by formula (7), thereby suppressing overreaction. The reaction time is preferably 0.5 hours or higher and 30 hours or lower, more preferably 1 hour or higher and 20 hours or lower, and particularly preferably 2 hours or higher and 10 hours or lower. When the reaction time is within the preferred range, the tetracarboxylic acid and the diamine react sufficiently to obtain the organic salt (B) having the structure represented by formula (6), thereby suppressing overreaction. Furthermore, the dicarboxylic acid and the diamine react sufficiently to obtain the organic salt (B) having the structure represented by formula (7), thereby preventing over-reaction.

[0075] The photoacid generator (D-1) is a component that generates acid upon exposure, and the dissolution rate of the exposed areas in an alkaline aqueous solution increases, creating a dissolution contrast with the unexposed areas, thereby obtaining a positive-type relief pattern in which the exposed areas are solubilized. The positive-type relief pattern is preferably selected for applications requiring particularly high resolution. Furthermore, by containing the photoacid generator (D-1) and a crosslinking agent described below, the acid generated in the exposed areas promotes a crosslinking reaction of the crosslinking agent, thereby obtaining a negative-type relief pattern in which the exposed areas are insolubilized.
