The polymer solution was added dropwise to 4.0 L of water to precipitate the polymer, and the resulting precipitate was filtered and dried in vacuum to obtain a powdery polyamideimide precursor (A2). Mw of (A2) was 18,000.
[0057] Comparative Example 3: 9.07 g of ODPA was placed in a separable flask, and 7.83 g of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and 26.34 g of γ-butyrolactone were added. 4.62 g of pyridine was added while stirring at room temperature to obtain a reaction mixture. After the heat generated by the reaction had ceased, the mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and allowed to stand for an additional 16 hours. Next, under ice cooling, a solution of 12.03 g of dicyclocarbodiimide (DCC) dissolved in 21.85 g of γ-butyrolactone was added to the reaction mixture over 40 minutes with stirring, and a suspension of 5.43 g of m-TB in 23.06 g of γ-butyrolactone was added over 60 minutes with stirring. After further stirring at room temperature for 2 hours, 1.38 g of ethanol was added, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour, after which 26.34 g of γ-butyrolactone was added. The precipitate that formed in the reaction mixture was removed by filtration to obtain a reaction mixture. The resulting reaction solution was added to 1.0 L of ethanol to produce a crude polymer precipitate. The crude polymer was collected by filtration and dissolved in 75 g of THF to produce a crude polymer solution. The crude polymer solution was added dropwise to 2.0 L of distilled water to precipitate the polymer. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration and vacuum dried to produce powdered polyamic acid ester (A3). The Mw of (A3) was 39,500.
[0058] (Weight-average molecular weight) 0.5 mg of polymer (polyamideimide precursor or polyamic acid ester) was dissolved in 1 mL of solvent (tetrahydrofuran / dimethylformamide = 1 / 1 (volume ratio)) to prepare a solution for measuring the weight-average molecular weight (Mw). Mw was measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using the following equipment and conditions, and calculated using a calibration curve of standard polystyrene. Detector: L4000UV (UV 270 nm, manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd.) Pump: L-6000 (manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd.) Data processing device: C-R4A Chromatopac (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) Column: Gelpack GL-S300MDT-5 x 2 (Resonac Corporation) Eluent: LiBr (0.03 mol / L) and H 3 P.O. 4 (0.06 mol / L) in tetrahydrofuran / dimethylformamide (volume ratio: 1 / 1) Flow rate: 1.0 mL / min
[0059] (NMR) NMR measurements were carried out on the polyamic acid and polyamideimide precursor, and the introduction of photosensitive groups derived from 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate was identified under the following conditions. Figure 2 shows the NMR spectrum of the polyamic acid of Example 1, and Figure 3 shows the NMR spectrum of the polyamideimide precursor. Apparatus: FT-NMR AV400M (manufactured by Bruker Biospin Co., Ltd.) Magnetic field strength: 400 MHz Reference substance: tetramethylsilane (TMS) Solvent: dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)
[0060] (Acid Value) The introduction rate of the photosensitive group was calculated by measuring the acid value of the polymer before and after the introduction of the photosensitive group using an automatic titrator (manufactured by Hiranuma Sangyo Co., Ltd., product name "COM-1750S") using a 0.05 mol / L aqueous potassium hydroxide solution as a standard substance. Since the acid value of the polyamic acid before the reaction with 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate was 220 mg KOH / g and the acid values of the polyamideimide precursors (A1) and (A2) were 110 mg KOH / g, the introduction rate of the photosensitive group in Examples 1 and 2 was 50 mol%.

[0064] [Patterned Cured Film] (Examples 1 and 2) A photosensitive resin composition was spin-coated onto a 6-inch diameter silicon wafer using a coating device (manufactured by Mikasa Co., Ltd., trade name "MS-A200"), and heated at 100°C for 2 minutes, followed by heating at 110°C for 2 minutes to form a photosensitive resin film. The photosensitive resin film was exposed to broadband (BB) light using a mask aligner (manufactured by Mikasa Co., Ltd., trade name "ML-320FSAT") in a predetermined pattern (a strip-shaped pattern with a width of 10 mm). The exposed photosensitive resin film was paddle-developed with 2.38% tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) using a developing machine (Takizawa Sangyo Co., Ltd., trade name "AD-3000"), and then rinsed with pure water to obtain a patterned resin film. The patterned resin film was heated in a high-temperature clean oven (manufactured by JTEKT Corporation, trade name "CLH-35CD") at 230°C for 2 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain a patterned cured film (thickness 10 µm).
[0065] Comparative Example 1 A patterned cured film was obtained in the same manner as in Examples 1 and 2, except that the exposed photosensitive resin film was paddle-developed with cyclopentanone and rinsed with propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate.
[0066] [Evaluation] (Glass transition temperature) A silicon wafer with a patterned cured film was immersed in a 5.0 mass% hydrofluoric acid aqueous solution for 15 minutes, and the cured film was peeled off from the silicon wafer to obtain a cured film having a width of 10 mm, a length of 30 mm, and a thickness of 10 μm. Using a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring device (manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Corporation), the temperature was increased from 30° C. to 380° C. at a rate of 5° C. / min, and the glass transition temperature (Tg) was calculated from the peak of tan δ.
[0067] (5% Weight Loss Temperature) Using a thermogravimetric analyzer (manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, product name "STA7300"), the temperature was increased from room temperature at a rate of 10°C / min. The weight of the cured film when it reached 100°C was taken as 100%, and the temperature at which the weight decreased by 5% was measured as the 5% weight loss temperature (5% Td).
[0068] (Linear expansion coefficient) A silicon wafer with a patterned cured film was immersed in a 5.0 mass% hydrofluoric acid aqueous solution for 15 minutes, and the cured film was peeled off from the silicon wafer to obtain a cured film having a width of 4 mm, a length of 30 mm, and a thickness of 10 μm. Using a thermomechanical analyzer (manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, product name "TMA7100"), the temperature was raised from 30°C to 380°C at a rate of 5°C / min in a tensile mode under atmospheric conditions, and the linear expansion coefficient (CTE) of the cured film from 100 to 150°C was calculated.
[0069] (Dielectric Properties) A photosensitive resin composition was spin-coated onto a 6-inch silicon wafer using a coating device (MS-A200) so that the film thickness after curing would be approximately 10 μm, and the wafer was pre-baked on a hot plate at 100° C. for 2 minutes and then at 110° C. for 2 minutes. The wafer was then exposed to light at an exposure dose of 500 mJ / cm using a mask aligner (manufactured by Mikasa Co., Ltd., product name "ML-320FSAT"). 2 After that, the film was heated at 230° C. for 2 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere using a high-temperature clean oven CLH-35CD (manufactured by JTEKT Corporation) to obtain a cured film.
[0070] The silicon wafer on which the cured film was formed was immersed in a 5.0% by mass hydrofluoric acid solution, and the cured film was peeled off from the silicon wafer to obtain a test piece for dielectric properties. The dielectric constant (Dk) and dielectric loss tangent (Df) of the test piece at 10 GHz at 25°C were measured by a cavity resonator perturbation method using a split cylinder resonator. A network analyzer (MS46122B, manufactured by Anritsu Corporation) was used as the measuring device. The dielectric constant (Dk) and dielectric loss tangent (Df) of the film sample were measured in the 10 GHz band at an ambient temperature of 25°C according to the cavity resonator perturbation method.
