Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a photosensitive composition and its use. [Previous Technology]
[0002] A color filter, used in image display devices or solid-state imaging elements, obtains a filter pattern of a first color by, for example, the following steps: coating a photosensitive composition onto a transparent substrate such as glass, and removing the solvent from the coating by drying; irradiating the coating with radiation through a photomask having a desired pattern shape to harden it (hereinafter referred to as exposure); subsequently cleaning and removing the unexposed portions of the coating (hereinafter referred to as development); and then, if necessary, performing a heat treatment (hereinafter referred to as post-baking) to fully harden the hardened film. Furthermore, filter patterns of other colors can be formed and produced by performing the same operations.
[0003] The developing step uses an alkaline developer to clean and remove unexposed areas. However, this results in missing or peeling exposed areas, causing defects in the pattern shape. Furthermore, when the coating is exposed to the alkaline developer, discoloration (hereinafter referred to as water stains) occurs. Therefore, a photosensitive composition is needed that does not produce pattern shape defects or water stains during the developing step. Additionally, there is the issue of color change during the post-baking step.
[0004] Furthermore, as a measure to improve water stains, Patent Document 1 discloses a coloring photosensitive resin composition comprising an alkali-soluble resin with a specific structure and an oxime fluorene derivative compound as a photopolymerization initiator. Patent Document 2 discloses a photoresist composition comprising a fluorinated surfactant with a specific structure. As a measure to improve pattern defects during development, Patent Document 3 discloses a coloring composition comprising a polymerizable compound having an epoxy alkane structure. [Prior Art Documents] [Patent Documents]
[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2017-173787 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2016-102212 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2014-142582 [Summary of the Invention]
[0006] [The problem the invention aims to solve]
[0007] However, none of the compositions described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 can satisfy all aspects of water stains, pattern shape and heat resistance to a certain or higher level.
[0008] The object of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive composition that inhibits water stains on the film after development, has good heat resistance, and can form excellent patterns. [Means for solving the problem]
[0009] This invention relates to a photosensitive composition comprising an alkali-soluble resin (A), a polymerizable compound (B), and a photopolymerization initiator (C), wherein the photopolymerization initiator (C) comprises a compound (C1) represented by the following general formula (1) and an oxime photopolymerization initiator (C2). General Formula (1) [Chemical 1]
[0010] (In general formula (1), R1 and R2 independently represent hydrogen atoms or alkyl groups having 1 to 8 carbon atoms. R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent substituent.) [Effects of the Invention]
[0011] According to the present invention, a photosensitive composition is provided that inhibits water stains on the developed film, has good heat resistance, and can form excellent patterns. Additionally, the present invention can provide a filter, an image display device, and a solid-state imaging element.
Implementation Method
[0012] Hereinafter, the form of the photosensitive composition used to implement the present invention will be described in detail. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and can be implemented in variations that can solve the problems.
[0013] In this invention, "(meth)acrylic," "(meth)acrylate," "(meth)acrylic acid," "(meth)acrylate," or "(meth)acrylamide" respectively mean "acrylic and / or methacrylic," "acrylate and / or methacrylate," "acrylic acid and / or methacrylic acid," "acrylate and / or methacrylate," or "acrylamide and / or methacrylamide." Additionally, "CI" refers to the Colour Index (CI; published by The Society of Dyers and Colourists). The polymerizable unsaturated group is an ethylene-unsaturated double bond. Furthermore, regarding the molecular weight of the compounds in this invention, for low-molecular-weight compounds with a definite molecular weight, the value is calculated (formula weight) or determined using electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). For compounds with a molecular weight distribution, the molecular weight is the weight-average molecular weight converted from polystyrene, determined using gel permeation chromatography with tetrahydrofuran as the solvent. A monomer is a compound that forms a resin through polymerization. A monomer is in its unreacted state, while a monomer unit is in the resin state formed after monomer polymerization. A polymerizable compound is a compound that forms a film through polymerization.
[0014] <Photosensitive Composition> One embodiment of the present invention relates to a photosensitive composition. The photosensitive composition of the present invention comprises an alkaline soluble resin (A), a polymerizable compound (B), and a photopolymerization initiator (C), and is characterized in that the photopolymerization initiator (C) comprises a compound (C1) represented by the following general formula (1) and an oxime photopolymerization initiator (C2). General Formula (1) [Chemical 2]
[0015] (In general formula (1), R1 and R2 independently represent hydrogen atoms or alkyl groups having 1 to 8 carbon atoms. R3 represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent substituent.)
[0016] The mechanism by which the problem of the present invention can be solved in the photosensitive composition of the structure described above is not yet clear, but it is speculated as follows. Compared with 2-methyl-1-[4-(methylthio)phenyl]-2-morpholinopropane-1-one or 2-(dimethylamino)-1-(4-morpholinophenyl)-2-benzyl-1-butanone, which are photopolymerization initiators that have been widely used in the field of color filters since the past, the compound (C1) represented by general formula (1) has a rigid and hydrophobic fluorene skeleton with high heat resistance, so it is speculated that a curing film with high resistance can be obtained. In addition, the curing film has moderate cohesion due to the π-π interaction of the two benzene rings. Therefore, it is speculated that the structure can be made to moderately soften with respect to heat while suppressing defects in the pattern during development, and to cause thermal sagging during post-baking, resulting in a good cross-sectional shape of the pattern. Furthermore, by using a specific oxime-based photopolymerization initiator (C2) with a different absorption wavelength than the compound (C1) represented by general formula (1) and high sensitivity, the wavelength range of light that can be used for photopolymerization can be expanded, and reactivity can be improved. Therefore, it is speculated that, for example, for compositions containing colorants that are difficult for light to penetrate to the depth of the film, the reaction will also occur, suppressing water stains on the film after development, and improving the pattern shape and heat resistance.

The micronization method is not particularly limited; for example, wet milling, dry milling, or solvent extraction can be used. Among these, salt milling, a type of wet milling, is preferred. The average primary particle size of the micronized pigment, determined using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), is preferably 5 nm to 90 nm. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of dispersibility and contrast ratio, the average primary particle size is more preferably 10 nm to 70 nm.
[0132] Salt milling refers to the following process: using a kneader, two-rod roll mill, three-rod roll mill, ball mill, attritor, sand mill, or other mixing mills, a mixture of pigment, water-soluble inorganic salt, and water-soluble organic solvent is mechanically mixed while heated. The water-soluble inorganic salt and organic solvent are then removed by washing with water. The water-soluble inorganic salt acts as a crushing agent; its high hardness during salt milling causes the pigment to break down. By optimizing the conditions for salt milling pigment, pigments with extremely fine primary particle sizes, narrow distribution ranges, and sharp, fine particle distribution can be obtained.
[0133] Examples of water-soluble inorganic salts include sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and sodium sulfate. In terms of price, sodium chloride (table salt) is preferred. Regarding both processing and production efficiency, the amount of water-soluble inorganic salt used is preferably 50 to 2,000 parts by weight, more preferably 300 to 1,000 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of pigment.
[0134] Water-soluble organic solvents serve to wet pigments and water-soluble inorganic salts. They are solvents that dissolve (mix) in water but do not substantially dissolve the inorganic salts used. However, since the solvent is prone to evaporation when the temperature rises during salt milling, high-boiling-point solvents with a boiling point of 120°C or higher are preferred for safety reasons. Examples of solvents that can be used include: 2-methoxyethanol, 2-butoxyethanol, 2-(isopentyloxy)ethanol, 2-(hexyloxy)ethanol, diethylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, triethylene glycol, triethylene glycol monomethyl ether, liquid polyethylene glycol, 1-methoxy-2-propanol, 1-ethoxy-2-propanol, dipropylene glycol, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoethyl ether, liquid polypropylene glycol, etc. The amount of water-soluble organic solvent used is preferably 5 to 1,000 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of pigment, and more preferably 50 to 500 parts by weight.
[0135] During the salt milling process, resin may be added as needed. The type of resin is not limited, but examples include: natural resin, modified natural resin, synthetic resin, and synthetic resin modified from natural resin. Preferably, it is a solid at room temperature and water-insoluble, and preferably partially soluble in the organic solvent. The amount of resin added is preferably 2 to 200 parts by weight relative to 100 parts by weight of pigment.

[0234] [Method for manufacturing a filter] The method for manufacturing a filter may, for example, be to perform the following steps: (1) forming a layer (film) of a composition by coating a photosensitive composition on a substrate; (2) exposing a dielectric mask on the layer to form a pattern; (3) forming a patterned hard film by alkaline development of the unexposed portion; and (4) performing a heat treatment (post-baking) on the pattern.
[0235] The manufacturing method of the filter will be described in detail below. (Step (1)) Step (1) of forming the composition layer involves coating the photosensitive composition onto a substrate by methods such as spin coating, roll coating, slot coating, casting coating, or inkjet coating, and drying (pre-baking) at a temperature of 50°C to 120°C for 10 to 120 seconds, using an oven or heating plate as needed. Examples of substrates include glass substrates and silicon substrates. Silicon substrates may have imaging elements such as charge-coupled devices (CCDs) or complementary metal-oxide-semiconductors (CMOSs) formed on their surfaces. In addition, an undercoating may be provided on the substrate as needed to improve adhesion to the upper layer, prevent material diffusion, and planarize the substrate surface. The film thickness of the layer is preferably 0.05 μm to 10.0 μm, more preferably 0.3 μm to 5 μm.
[0236] (Step (2)) The exposure step uses an exposure apparatus such as a stepper to expose a specific pattern onto the layer obtained in step (1) using a dielectric mask. A hardened film is thus obtained. Examples of radiation used for exposure include gamma rays, h rays, i rays, and ultraviolet rays.
[0237] (Step (3)) The hardened film obtained in step (2) is subjected to alkaline development treatment, in which the unexposed portion of the composition layer dissolves into the alkaline aqueous solution, leaving only the hardened portion, thereby obtaining a patterned hardened film. Examples of developing solutions include: sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, ammonia, ethylamine, diethylamine, dimethylethanolamine, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, choline, pyrrole, guanidine, 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-7-undecene, and other alkaline compounds. The concentration of the developing solution is preferably 0.001% to 10% by mass, more preferably 0.01% to 1% by mass. The pH of the alkaline developing solution is preferably 11 to 13, more preferably 11.5 to 12.5. If used at a suitable pH, the roughness or peeling of the pattern is suppressed, and the residual film rate after development is improved.
[0238] Examples of developing methods include immersion, spraying, and puddle methods. The developing temperature is preferably 15°C to 40°C. Furthermore, after alkaline development, rinsing with pure water is preferred.
[0239] (Step (4)) The heat treatment (post-baking) is to fully harden the patterned hardened film obtained in step (3) by heating. The heating temperature for post-baking is preferably 100°C to 300°C, more preferably 150°C to 250°C. In addition, the heating time is preferably about 2 minutes to 1 hour, more preferably about 3 minutes to 30 minutes.

There are no particular limitations on the form of the solid-state imaging element, and for example, it may have the following structure: a plurality of photodiodes constituting a light-receiving area of a solid-state imaging element (CCD image sensor, CMOS image sensor, etc.) and a transmission electrode including polysilicon on a substrate; a light-shielding film having openings only to the light-receiving portion of the photodiodes on the photodiodes and the transmission electrode; a device protective film including silicon nitride formed on the light-shielding film to cover the entire surface of the light-shielding film and the light-receiving portion of the photodiodes; and a filter on the device protective film. Furthermore, it may also have a structure in which a light-gathering component (e.g., a microlens, etc. hereinafter the same) is present on the device protective film and below the filter (on the side closest to the substrate), or a structure in which a light-gathering component is present on the filter, etc. Additionally, the filter may also have a structure in which a hardened film forming each colored primitive is embedded in a space divided, for example, by an isolation wall into a grid-like structure. In this case, the isolation wall is preferably of a low refractive index relative to each colored primitive.

Furthermore, the acid value per unit of non-volatile component of the resin was calculated based on the acid value of the resin solution and the concentration of non-volatile components in the resin solution.
[0246] (Amine value of resin) The amine value of resin is obtained by converting the measured total amine value (mgKOH / g) into non-volatile components according to the method of American Society for Testing Material (ASTM) D 2074.

The dropping process was carried out over 2 hours. Two hours after the addition was completed, the polymerization yield was confirmed to be over 98% based on the non-volatile components, with a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 6,830, and the mixture was cooled to 50°C. 3.2 parts of chloromethane and 22.0 parts of ethanol were added, and the mixture was reacted at 50°C for 2 hours, then heated to 80°C for 1 hour and reacted for another 2 hours.

Subsequently, the flask was purged with air, and 50.4 parts of acrylic acid (AA) as a modifying compound, 0.6 parts of triphenylphosphine as a catalyst, and 0.2 parts of methylhydroquinone were added. The mixture was reacted at 110°C for 10 hours.

Then, 21.3 parts of tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (THPA) as a modifying compound were added, and the mixture was reacted at 110°C for 4 hours.

The temperature was raised to 90°C, and a solution prepared by adding 0.1 parts of 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile to 90 parts of PGMAc was added while reacting for 7 hours. The reaction was confirmed to have reached 95% by measuring the non-volatile components. 19 parts of pyromellitic anhydride, 50 parts of PGMAc, 50 parts of cyclohexanone, and 0.4 parts of 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-7-undecene as a catalyst were added, and the mixture was reacted at 100°C for 7 hours. The reaction was terminated after confirming that more than 98% of the anhydride had undergone half-esterification by acid value determination. PGMAc was added to dilute the solution to a non-volatile content of 30%, resulting in a dispersant (G-1) solution with an acid value of 70 mgKOH / g and a weight average molecular weight of 8,500.
[0268] (Dispersion resin (G-2) solution) 108 parts of 1-thiopropanetriol, 174 parts of pyromellitic anhydride, 650 parts of PGMAc, and 0.2 parts of monobutyltin oxide as a catalyst were charged into a reaction vessel including a gas inlet tube, thermometer, condenser, and stirrer. After purging with nitrogen, the reaction was carried out at 120°C for 5 hours (first step). By measuring the acid value, it was confirmed that more than 95% of the anhydride had undergone half-esterification. Next, the following compounds were added to the reaction vessel (based on a non-volatile content conversion of 160 parts): 200 parts of the compound obtained in the first step, 200 parts of 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, 200 parts of ethyl acrylate, 150 parts of tert-butyl acrylate, 200 parts of 2-methoxyethyl acrylate, 200 parts of methyl acrylate, 50 parts of methacrylic acid, and 663 parts of PGMAc. The reaction vessel was heated to 80°C, and 1.2 parts of 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylpentanonitrile) were added. The reaction was carried out for 12 hours (second step). Non-volatile content determination confirmed that 95% of the reaction had occurred. Finally, 500 parts of a PGMAc dilution solution containing 50% non-volatile components of the compound obtained in step two, 27.0 parts of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl isocyanate (MOI), and 0.1 parts of hydroquinone were added, and the reaction was carried out until the peak at 2270 cm⁻¹ based on the isocyanate group disappeared, as confirmed by IR spectroscopy (step three). After confirming the disappearance of the peak, the reaction solution was cooled, and the non-volatile components were adjusted using PGMAc to obtain a dispersion resin (G-2) solution with 30% non-volatile components. The obtained dispersion resin (G-2) had an acid value of 68 mgKOH / g, an unsaturated double bond equivalent of 1,593, and a weight-average molecular weight of 13,000.

Next, 9.3 parts of ethyl bromoisobutyrate, 5.6 parts of cuprous chloride, and 133 parts of PGMAc were added. The mixture was heated to 110°C under a nitrogen flow to initiate the polymerization of the first block (B-block). After 4 hours of polymerization, a sample of the polymerization solution was taken for non-volatile component determination. Based on the non-volatile component conversion, the polymerization conversion rate was confirmed to be above 98%. Next, 61 parts of PGMAc and 20 parts of 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethylpiperidine methacrylate (manufactured by Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd., not Fantryl FA-711MM) as the second block (A block) monomer were added to the reaction apparatus. The reaction was continued by stirring at 110°C under a nitrogen atmosphere. Two hours after the addition of 1,2,2,6,6-pentamethylpiperidine methacrylate, a sample of the polymerization solution was taken for non-volatile component determination. Based on the non-volatile component, the polymerization conversion rate to the second block (A block) was confirmed to be above 98%, and the reaction solution was cooled to room temperature to stop the polymerization. Then, PGMAc was added to dilute the non-volatile component to 30%, thereby obtaining a dispersion resin (G-3) solution with an amine value of 57 mgKOH / g per unit of non-volatile component and a number average molecular weight of 4,500 (Mn).

One hour later, 18.3 parts by mass of dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide, a block monomer with color material adsorption function, was added dropwise over a period of 20 minutes. After another hour of reaction, 1 part by mass of methanol was added to stop the reaction. The obtained block copolymer THF solution was redeprecipitated in hexane and purified by filtration and vacuum drying. Subsequently, 15.0 parts by mass of the obtained block copolymer was dissolved in 35 parts by mass of PGMAc in a 100 mL round-bottom flask, and 1.1 parts by mass of phenylphosphonic acid (0.5 molar equivalents relative to dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide), a salt-forming component, was added. The mixture was stirred at 30°C for 20 hours, and PGMAc was added to adjust the concentration to obtain a dispersion resin (G-4) solution with 30% non-volatile components.

[0295] <Evaluation of Photosensitive Compositions> The obtained photosensitive compositions 1 to 38 (Examples 1 to 35, Comparative Examples 1 to 3) were evaluated for water stains, pattern shape (adhesion, cross-sectional shape), and heat resistance using the following methods. The evaluation results are shown in Table 5.
[0296] [Water Stain Evaluation] The obtained photosensitive composition was spin-coated onto a 100 mm × 100 mm, 0.7 mm thick glass substrate (Corning Eagle 2000) and dried at 70°C for 1 minute using a heated plate. Then, using a mask with a 100 μm wide stripe pattern, it was exposed to ultraviolet light under a high-pressure mercury lamp at an illuminance of 30 mW / cm² and 50 mJ / cm². Subsequently, it was developed by immersion in an aqueous developer containing 0.12% nonionic surfactant and 0.04% potassium hydroxide at 23°C for 40 seconds, followed by rinsing with pure water. The obtained pattern was observed using a Nikon ECLIPSE LV100POL model optical microscope to evaluate the degree of discoloration. The evaluation criteria are as follows, with a score of 3 or higher considered usable. 5: No water stains. 4: Water stains less than 10% of the overall area. 3: Water stains between 10% and 20% of the overall area. 2: Water stains between 20% and 30% of the overall area. 1: Water stains greater than 30% of the overall area.
[0297] [Pattern Shape Evaluation (1): Adhesion] The obtained photosensitive composition was applied to a glass substrate (Corning Eagle 2000) with a length of 100 mm × width of 100 mm and a thickness of 0.7 mm using spin coating, and dried at 70°C for 1 minute using a heating plate. Subsequently, after cooling the substrate to room temperature, it was exposed to a high-pressure mercury lamp with a stripe pattern of 5 μm width units in the range of 5 μm to 25 μm using a photomask at an illuminance of 30 mW / cm2 and 50 mJ / cm2. Afterward, the substrate was spray-developed at 23°C using an aqueous developer containing 0.12% by mass of nonionic surfactant and 0.04% by mass of potassium hydroxide, washed with deionized water, air-dried, and heated at 230°C for 30 minutes in a clean oven. Spray development is performed on films formed from various photosensitive compositions to form patterns in the shortest possible time without development residue. Patterns with widths of 5 μm, 10 μm, 15 μm, 20 μm, and 25 μm on the obtained substrates were observed using an optical microscope to confirm the minimum linewidth of the remaining pattern. The evaluation criteria are as follows, with 3 or higher considered practical. 5: Residual lines less than 10 μm remain. 4: Residual lines greater than 15 μm remain. 3: Residual lines greater than 20 μm remain. 2: Residual lines greater than 25 μm remain. 1: No residual lines remain.
[0298] [Pattern Shape Evaluation (2): Cross-sectional Shape] The obtained photosensitive composition was applied to a glass substrate (Corning Eagle 2000) with a length of 100 mm × width of 100 mm and a thickness of 0.7 mm using spin coating, and dried at 70°C for 1 minute using a heated plate. Subsequently, after cooling the substrate to room temperature, it was exposed to a photomask with a 100 μm wide stripe pattern using a high-pressure mercury lamp at an illuminance of 30 mW / cm2 and 50 mJ / cm2. Afterward, the substrate was spray-developed at 23°C using an aqueous developer containing 0.12% by mass of nonionic surfactant and 0.04% by mass of potassium hydroxide, washed with deionized water, air-dried, and heated in a clean oven at 230°C for 30 minutes. Spray development was performed in the shortest time possible to form a pattern without development residue on the film formed by each photosensitive composition. The cross-sectional shape of the pattern was confirmed using a scanning electron microscope (S-3000H, manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Co., Ltd.). Evaluation was conducted by acquiring a 100 μm wide SEM image of the cross-section of the striped pattern and measuring the cone angle between the substrate and the end of the pattern cross-section. The evaluation criteria are as follows, with 3 or higher considered usable: 5: Cone angle 30 degrees or more but less than 50 degrees; 4: Cone angle 50 degrees or more but less than 60 degrees; 3: Cone angle less than 30 degrees or 60 degrees or more but less than 70 degrees; 2: Cone angle 70 degrees or more but less than 90 degrees; 1: Cone angle 90 degrees or more.
[0299] [Heat Resistance Evaluation] The obtained photosensitive composition was spin-coated onto a glass substrate (Corning Eagle 2000) measuring 100 mm x 100 mm and 0.7 mm thick, with a dried film thickness of 2.0 μm, and dried at 70°C using a heated plate for 1 minute. After cooling the substrate to room temperature, it was exposed to a high-pressure mercury lamp at an illuminance of 30 mW / cm² and 50 mJ / cm². Subsequently, it was developed by immersion in an aqueous developer containing 0.12% nonionic surfactant and 0.04% potassium hydroxide at 23°C for 40 seconds, followed by rinsing with deionized water, air drying, and heating in a clean oven at 230°C for 30 minutes. The colorimetric properties ([L*(1), a*(1), b*(1)]) of the obtained coating under a C light source were measured using a microspectrophotometer (OSP-SP100 manufactured by Olympus Optics). Subsequently, as an evaluation of heat resistance, the colorimetric properties ([L*(2), a*(2), b*(2)]) under a C light source were measured after heating at 230°C for 1 hour, and the color difference ΔEab* was calculated using the following formula. The evaluation criteria are as follows, with values of 3 or higher considered practical. ΔEab* = ((L*(2) - L*(1))² + (a*(2) - a*(1))² + (b*(2) - b*(1))²)¹ / ² 5: ΔEab* is less than 1 4: ΔEab* is 1 to 2 3: ΔEab* is 2 to 3 2: ΔEab* is 3 to 5 1: ΔEab* is 5 or more
