Description

Laminate, scintillator panel using same, electronic component, and inductor

[0001] The present invention relates to a laminate having an acrylic resin layer and a cured product layer on a substrate, and to a scintillator panel, an electronic component, and an inductor using the same.

[0002] Digital radiation detection devices such as flat panel radiation detectors (FPDs) are used in the medical field and industrial applications such as structural inspection and baggage inspection. Indirect conversion FPDs use a scintillator panel to convert X-rays into visible light. The scintillator panel has a phosphor layer (scintillator layer) containing a phosphor such as gadolinium oxysulfide (GOS), which emits light when irradiated with X-rays. The scintillator panel converts the light emitted from the scintillator panel into an electrical signal using a sensor (photoelectric conversion layer) including a thin film transistor (TFT) or a charge-coupled device (CCD), thereby converting X-ray information into digital image information. However, scintillator panels have a problem in that the light emitted from the radioactive phosphor is scattered within the phosphor layer, reducing the sharpness of the resulting image.

[0003] Therefore, in order to reduce the effect of light scattering, a method of filling a space partitioned by partitions with a phosphor has been proposed.Furthermore, as a technology for solving the problem of brightness reduction caused by partitions, a scintillator panel has been proposed which includes a substrate, partitions formed on the substrate, and a scintillator layer partitioned by the partitions and containing a phosphor, in which the partitions contain one or more compounds (P) selected from the group consisting of polyimide, polyamide, polyamideimide, and polybenzoxazole (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0004] On the other hand, when a scintillator panel is used for in-line inspection of foods, electronic components, etc., the luminance tends to decrease over time due to continuous irradiation with high-energy X-rays. In response to this, a scintillator panel has been proposed that has a substrate and a scintillator layer containing a phosphor, the scintillator layer including a binder resin having a π-conjugated structure composed of seven or more atoms, the glass transition point of the binder resin being 30 to 430°C, and the film thickness of the scintillator layer being 50 to 800 μm (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

[0005] International Publication No. 2021 / 200327 International Publication No. 2022 / 024860

[0006] Although these techniques can improve brightness to a certain extent, particularly in industrial applications, thicker phosphor layers and thinner barrier ribs are required to increase the amount of phosphor. That is, barrier ribs with a high aspect ratio are required. However, the inventors' studies have revealed that when barrier ribs with a high aspect ratio required for such a background are formed using a conventionally known resin composition, there is a problem in that the barrier ribs tend to peel off from the substrate during development or after curing.

[0007] In view of the problems with the conventional technology, the present invention aims to provide a laminate having a high aspect ratio cured product on a substrate, which can suppress peeling of the cured product.

[0008] The present invention, which aims to solve the above problems, mainly has the following configurations. <1> A laminate having a cured material layer on a substrate, the cured material layer comprising a cured material of a resin composition containing (A) a polyimide resin, (B) an oxetane compound, and (C) a photocationic polymerization initiator, and an acrylic resin layer adjacent to the substrate and the cured material layer, between the substrate and the cured material layer. <2> The laminate according to <1>, wherein the acrylic resin layer has an acid value of 50 mgKOH / g or more and 230 mgKOH / g or less. <3> The laminate according to <1> or <2>, wherein the acrylic resin layer has a hydroxyl value of 10 mgKOH / g or more and 150 mgKOH / g or less. <4> The laminate according to any one of <1> to <3>, wherein the acrylic resin layer has a weight-average molecular weight of 8,000 or more and 200,000 or less. <5> The laminate according to any one of <1> to <4>, wherein the (B) oxetane compound includes (B-1) a compound having four or more oxetanyl groups. <6> The laminate according to <5>, wherein the compound (B-1) having four or more oxetanyl groups has a structure represented by the following general formula (1):

[0009]

The cured material layer may be provided over the entire surface of the substrate via the acrylic resin layer, or may be provided partially on the substrate in a necessary location. To utilize the effect of suppressing peeling of a high aspect ratio cured material layer, which is a feature of the present invention, it is preferable that the cured material layer be provided partially on the substrate in a necessary location. The acrylic resin layer has the effect of adhering the cured material layer to the substrate, and can particularly suppress peeling of the cured material layer during development or after curing.

The cured material layer 1 has a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape, with a height of L1, a width (central width) of the cured material layer at a position halfway along the height L1 of L3, and a distance between adjacent cured material layers 1 of L2.

[0015] From the viewpoint of further improving the aspect ratio of the cured material layer, the height L1 of the cured material layer is preferably 100 μm or more, more preferably 200 μm or more, while the height L1 of the cured material layer is preferably 3,000 μm or less, more preferably 1,000 μm or less.

[0016] The distance L2 between adjacent cured material layers is preferably 40 μm or more and 1,000 μm or less.

On the other hand, the aspect ratio of the cured material layer is preferably 100 or less, more preferably 50 or less.

The cross section perpendicular to the substrate can be obtained by breaking the partition walls or by exposing them using a polishing device such as a cross-section polisher. Each of the lengths L1 to L3 is calculated by averaging the measurements of three randomly selected locations on the cured material layer.

[0019] Methods for controlling the aspect ratio (L1 / L3) within the above range include a method in which the components and contents of the resin composition constituting the cured product layer are set within the preferred ranges described below.

By including 15% by mass or more of the (A) polyimide resin, the processability and thermal properties of the cured material layer can be improved. The content of the (A) polyimide resin is more preferably 25% by mass or more.

By having these hydrophilic groups, adhesion can be further improved through interaction with the polar group of the cured material layer, and peeling of the cured material layer can be further suppressed. Among these, groups selected from a carboxyl group and a hydroxyl group are preferred, as they can prevent salt components that inhibit polymerization from leaching from the substrate and being mixed into the resin composition during cationic polymerization of the resin composition that forms the cured material layer, thereby further suppressing interlayer peeling.

[0081] The thickness of the acrylic resin layer is preferably 0.01 μm or more, more preferably 0.50 μm or more, and even more preferably 2.0 μm or more, from the viewpoints of suppressing the elution of salt components, which are polymerization inhibitors, from the substrate and their incorporation into the resin composition during cationic polymerization of the resin composition that forms the cured layer, promoting the cationic polymerization reaction of the resin composition, and further improving adhesion. On the other hand, the thickness of the acrylic resin layer is preferably 20 μm or less, more preferably 10 μm or less, and even more preferably 5 μm or less, from the viewpoints of suppressing swelling due to moisture absorption during development and further suppressing peeling of the resin composition that forms the cured layer during development.

[0082] The resin composition for the acrylic resin layer may further contain additives such as a sensitizer, a silane coupling agent, a surfactant, and a solvent, as necessary. The solvent is preferably one that dissolves the components constituting the resin composition, and examples thereof include those exemplified as solvents for the resin composition that forms the cured product layer. Two or more of these may be contained.

[0083] <Method for producing laminate> The laminate of the present invention can be obtained, for example, by forming an acrylic resin layer on a substrate using the resin composition for the acrylic resin layer described above, and then applying and curing a resin composition containing the aforementioned (A) polyimide resin, (B) oxetane compound, and (C) photocationic polymerization initiator onto the acrylic resin layer. When the acrylic resin layer is a cured product of the resin composition, it is preferable to form the cured product layer after forming the acrylic resin layer by curing the resin composition.

[0084] Examples of methods for forming the acrylic resin layer include a method in which the aforementioned resin composition for the acrylic resin layer is applied to the entire surface of a substrate, dried by heating, and cured. Examples of methods for applying the resin composition include a screen printing method and a method using a coater such as a bar coater, a roll coater, a die coater, or a blade coater. The thickness of the applied film can be adjusted by the number of applications, the mesh size of the screen, the viscosity of the resin composition, etc.

[0085] The drying temperature and drying time in the heat drying can be appropriately selected depending on the composition of the resin composition.

[0086] Examples of methods for forming the cured material layer include a method in which a resin composition for the cured material layer is applied onto an acrylic resin layer, heated and dried to form a film, and then the coating film is exposed to actinic radiation through a mask having a desired pattern, and if necessary, developed to form a coating film pattern, followed by heating to cure. Heating causes a thermal crosslinking reaction and a cationic polymerization reaction to proceed, curing the resin composition and forming a cured material layer.

[0087] Examples of actinic rays used for exposure include ultraviolet rays, visible light, electron beams, X-rays, etc. In the present invention, it is preferable to use i-rays (365 nm), h-rays (405 nm), or g-rays (436 nm) from a mercury lamp.

[0088] After the exposure, it is preferable to carry out a development step in which the exposed portion is removed from the coating film using a developer. Examples of the developer include those exemplified as developers in WO 2021 / 200327.

[0089] Development can be carried out by spraying the developer onto the coating surface, puddling the developer onto the coating surface, immersing the coating in the developer, or immersing the coating in the developer and applying ultrasonic waves, etc. The development conditions, such as the development time and the temperature of the developer in the development step, may be any conditions that allow the exposed area to be removed and a pattern to be formed.

[0090] After development, it is preferable to perform a rinse treatment to wash away the remaining developer with water. The rinse treatment may be performed by adding alcohols such as ethanol and isopropyl alcohol, or esters such as ethyl lactate and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate to water.

[0091] If necessary, a baking treatment may be carried out before development. This may improve the resolution of the developed pattern and increase the tolerance for development conditions. The baking temperature is preferably in the range of 50 to 180°C, more preferably in the range of 60 to 120°C. The baking time is preferably from 5 seconds to several hours.

[0092] After forming a pattern by development, unreacted cationic polymerizable compounds and cationic polymerization initiators remain in the coating film of the resin composition. Therefore, these may thermally decompose during the thermal crosslinking reaction, generating gas. To avoid this, it is preferable to irradiate the entire surface of the resin composition coating after pattern formation with the above-mentioned exposure light to generate acid from the cationic polymerization initiator. By doing so, the reaction of the unreacted cationic polymerizable compounds proceeds during the thermal crosslinking reaction, and the generation of gas resulting from thermal decomposition can be suppressed.

[0093] The heating temperature for heat curing is preferably 120°C to 300°C. Thermal crosslinking can improve the heat resistance and chemical resistance of the cured layer. This heat treatment method can be selected by selecting a temperature and gradually increasing the temperature, or by selecting a temperature range and continuously increasing the temperature for 5 minutes to 5 hours.

[0094] <Scintillator Panel> The scintillator panel of the present invention is a scintillator panel having the laminate of the present invention, and has cells on a substrate, the cells being partitioned by partition walls made of a cured product layer, and a phosphor layer in each cell. By using the laminate of the present invention, partition walls with a high aspect ratio can be easily formed. Furthermore, by having such partition walls, the brightness of the scintillator panel can be improved. Furthermore, since the surface smoothness of the partition walls is excellent, the light extraction efficiency of the phosphor can be improved, and the brightness can be improved.

[0095] <Partitions> Partitions are provided to form at least partitioned spaces (cells). Therefore, grid-shaped partitions are preferred for scintillator panels. The photoelectric conversion element that receives light emitted from the scintillator panel has pixels arranged in a grid pattern. By matching the size and pitch of the pixels of the photoelectric conversion element with the size and pitch of the cells of the scintillator panel, each pixel of the photoelectric conversion element can be associated with each cell of the scintillator panel. This allows for a highly sharp image to be obtained.

[0096] The partition walls are preferably made of the cured material layer of the laminate of the present invention. By providing partition walls made of the cured material layer with a high aspect ratio in the laminate of the present invention, the loading amount of the phosphor in the phosphor layer can be increased, thereby improving brightness.

[0097] The height of the partition walls is preferably 100 μm or more. By making the height of the partition walls 100 μm or more, the amount of phosphor filling can be increased, and brightness can be further improved. The height of the partition walls is more preferably 200 μm or more. On the other hand, the height of the partition walls is preferably 3,000 μm or less. By making the height of the partition walls 3,000 μm or less, absorption of emitted light by the phosphor itself can be suppressed, and brightness can be further improved. The height of the partition walls is more preferably 1,000 μm or less.

[0098] The distance between adjacent partition walls is preferably 40 μm or more, and more preferably 1,000 μm or less.

[0099] The aspect ratio of the barrier rib height to the barrier rib central width (height / central width) is preferably 5.0 or more, which allows for a larger phosphor filling amount and further improved brightness. The aspect ratio is more preferably 12 or more, more preferably 14 or more, and even more preferably 15 or more. On the other hand, the aspect ratio is preferably 100 or less, which allows for improved barrier rib strength. The aspect ratio is more preferably 50 or less.

[0100] The height, spacing and central width of the partition walls can be measured in the same manner as the height L1, spacing L2 and central width L3 of the cured material layer in the present invention described above.

[0101] As a method for adjusting the aspect ratio to the above range, there can be mentioned a method in which the components constituting the resin composition used for forming the partition walls and the contents thereof are adjusted to the preferred ranges described below.

[0102] Hereinafter, embodiments of the scintillator panel of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the drawings are schematic. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

[0103] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating a radiation detector member including a scintillator panel according to the present invention. The radiation detector member 4 includes a scintillator panel 5 and an output substrate 6. The scintillator panel 5 includes a substrate 3, an acrylic resin layer 2, partition walls 16, and phosphor layers 7 within cells defined by the partition walls 16. A metal reflective layer 12 is formed on the surface of the partition walls 16, and an organic protective layer 13 is provided on the surface of the metal reflective layer 12. The phosphor layer 7 contains phosphors 14 and a binder resin 15. The output substrate 6 includes an output layer 10 and a photoelectric conversion layer 9 having a photodiode, which are disposed in this order on a substrate 11. A barrier layer 8 may be provided on the photoelectric conversion layer 9. The light-emitting surface of the scintillator panel 5 and the photoelectric conversion layer 9 of the output substrate 6 are preferably bonded or adhered to each other via the barrier layer 8. Light emitted from the phosphor layer 7 reaches the photoelectric conversion layer 9, where it is photoelectrically converted and output. Each of these components is described below.

[0104] <Metallic Reflective Layer> In the scintillator panel of the present invention, it is preferable that the partition wall has a reflective layer containing a metal (hereinafter referred to as a "metallic reflective layer") on its surface. The metallic reflective layer may be provided on at least a part of the partition wall. The metallic reflective layer has a high reflectivity even when it is a thin film. Therefore, by providing a thin metallic reflective layer, the loading amount of the phosphor is less likely to decrease, and the brightness of the scintillator panel is further improved. Examples of metallic reflective layers include those exemplified as metallic reflective layers in WO 2019 / 181444.

[0105] <Protective Layer> The scintillator panel of the present invention preferably has a protective layer on the surface of the metal reflective layer. Even when the metal reflective layer is made of an alloy or the like that has poor resistance to discoloration in the atmosphere, the provision of the protective layer can reduce discoloration, suppress a decrease in the reflectance of the metal reflective layer due to a reaction between the metal reflective layer and the phosphor layer, and further improve brightness.

[0106] The protective layer may be either an inorganic protective layer or an organic protective layer, or may be a combination of an inorganic protective layer and an organic protective layer.

[0107] <Inorganic Protective Layer> The inorganic protective layer is suitable as a protective layer because it has low water vapor permeability. Examples of the inorganic protective layer include those exemplified as inorganic protective layers in WO 2019 / 181444.

[0108] <Organic protective layer> The organic protective layer is preferably formed from a polymer compound having excellent chemical durability, and preferably contains, for example, polysiloxane or amorphous fluororesin as a main component. Examples of the organic protective layer include those exemplified as organic protective layers in WO 2019 / 181444, and examples of the polysiloxane and amorphous fluororesin include those exemplified as materials constituting the organic protective layer in WO 2021 / 200327.

[0109] <Phosphor Layer> The scintillator panel of the present invention has a phosphor layer in each cell defined by partition walls.

[0110] The phosphor layer absorbs the energy of incident radiation such as X-rays and emits electromagnetic waves with wavelengths in the range of 300 nm to 800 nm, i.e., light in the range from ultraviolet light to infrared light, with a focus on visible light. The light emitted from the phosphor layer undergoes photoelectric conversion in the photoelectric conversion layer and is output as an electrical signal through the output layer. The phosphor layer preferably contains a phosphor and a binder resin.

[0111] <Phosphor> Examples of the phosphor include those exemplified as phosphors in WO 2021 / 200327. From the viewpoint of high luminous efficiency, the phosphor is preferably a terbium-activated rare earth oxysulfide phosphor.

[0112] <Binder Resin> Examples of the binder resin include those exemplified as binder resins in WO 2021 / 200327.

[0113] The binder resin is preferably in contact with the protective layer. In this case, it is sufficient that the binder resin is in contact with at least a portion of the protective layer. This makes it difficult for the phosphor to fall out of the cell in the scintillator panel. Note that the binder resin may be filled in the cell with almost no voids, as shown in FIG. 1, or may be filled with voids.

[0114] As described above, the scintillator panel of the present invention provides a high brightness image.

[0115] <Method for manufacturing scintillator panel> The method for manufacturing a scintillator panel of the present invention preferably includes, for example, a partition wall forming step of forming an acrylic resin layer and partition walls on a substrate to separate cells by the method for manufacturing the laminate of the present invention described above, a reflective layer forming step of forming a metal reflective layer on the surface of the partition walls as needed, and a filling step of filling the cells separated by the partition walls with a phosphor. Each step will be described below. In the following description, details that are common to those described in the embodiment of the scintillator panel described above will be omitted as appropriate. Furthermore, the partition wall forming step is common to the method for manufacturing the laminate of the present invention described above, and therefore will not be described here.

[0116] When a metal reflective layer, an inorganic protective layer, and / or an organic protective layer is provided on the surface of the partition wall, examples of the method for forming these include the methods exemplified as the formation steps in WO 2019 / 181444 and WO 2021 / 200327.

[0117] <Electronic Component> The electronic component of the present invention has the laminate of the present invention. The cured product layer in the laminate of the present invention can be used as an insulating film or a protective film constituting the electronic component. By using the laminate of the present invention, an insulating film or a protective film with a high aspect ratio can be easily formed.

[0118] Examples of electronic components include active components having semiconductors such as transistors, diodes, integrated circuits (ICs), and memories, and passive components such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Electronic components using semiconductors are also called semiconductor devices or semiconductor packages.

[0119] The cured product layer in the laminate of the present invention is suitably used in electronic components, for example, as a passivation film for semiconductor devices, a surface protective film for semiconductor elements and TFTs (Thin Film Transistors), an interlayer insulating film such as an interlayer insulating film between rewirings in multilayer wiring for high-density packaging, an insulating film or protective film for touch panel displays, and an insulating layer for organic electroluminescent devices.

[0120] As an example of the method for manufacturing electronic components of the present invention, a semiconductor device manufacturing method using a redistribution layer (RDL) first process is described. A barrier metal such as Ti is formed on a substrate such as a glass substrate or a silicon wafer by sputtering, a Cu seed (seed layer) is further formed on top of that by sputtering, and then Cu electrode pads are formed by plating. Next, an acrylic resin layer is formed over the entire surface of the substrate on which the electrode pads have been formed by the method described above. A cured layer-forming resin composition containing (A) a polyimide resin, (B) an oxetane compound, and (C) a photocationic polymerization initiator is then coated and dried on top of that. Next, if necessary, the coating film is exposed to UV light through a desired pattern mask, and then immersed in a 0.5% by mass potassium hydroxide aqueous solution for development, forming the desired coating film pattern. The coating film pattern is then heat-treated to form a cured layer. This cured layer becomes an insulating film. Next, a seed layer is again formed by sputtering, and Cu metal wiring (redistribution) is formed by plating. Thereafter, the seed layer process through the metal wiring formation process are repeated to form a multilayer wiring structure. Next, the resin composition for forming the cured product layer is applied, patterned, and heat-treated to harden it to form an insulating film. Then, Cu posts are formed on the metal wiring in the openings of the insulating film using a plating method. The pitch of the Cu posts and the pitch of the conductive portions of the semiconductor chip are made equal. That is, the pitch of the conductive portions of the semiconductor chip is finer than the pitch of the electrode pads, and each rewiring layer constituting the multilayer wiring structure gradually becomes finer from the electrode pads to the Cu posts, thereby multiplying the wiring. In the multilayer wiring structure, the thickness of adjacent insulating films also becomes the same or thinner as they approach the semiconductor chip. Next, the semiconductor chip is connected to the Cu posts via solder bumps. This electrically connects the electrode pads and the semiconductor chip via the metal wiring and solder bumps. The semiconductor chip is then encapsulated with an encapsulating resin to form a semiconductor package, and the support substrate and the rewiring layer are peeled off to separate the semiconductor package. In this manner, a semiconductor device having a multi-layer wiring structure can be obtained using the RDL first process.

[0121] <Inductor> The inductor of the present invention has the laminate of the present invention, an insulating film, and a coil. The insulating film is the cured material layer of the present invention. By using the laminate of the present invention, an insulating film with a high aspect ratio can be easily formed.

[0122] 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic diagram of an inductor according to the present invention.
