Description

Latent curing agent, low-temperature curing photosensitive resin composition, method for preparing patterned cured film, and insulating film TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of photocuring photosensitive material, and particularly relates to a latent curing agent, a low-temperature curing photosensitive resin composition, a method for preparing a patterned cured film, and an insulating film. BACKGROUND

[0002] The photosensitive resin composition can undergo a photocuring reaction when irradiated with light to form a photosensitive resin film. The photosensitive resin film is subjected to a photolithography process to form a photosensitive resin film pattern. In the manufacturing process of electronic components and semiconductor devices, these patterns can be used as insulating film patterns or protective film patterns.

[0003] In the past, in order to facilitate the processing of materials, thermosetting resins were processed in the form of a precursor solution, and were processed to form insulating films with excellent heat resistance, electrical properties and mechanical properties through a high-temperature heating and curing process. However, the high-temperature process can accumulate thermal stress with side effects. At present, in order to achieve low-temperature curing of thermosetting resins, a common measure is to add a curing catalyst or a latent curing catalyst to the precursor solution to obtain better insulating film performance after low-temperature curing and to maintain long-term storage stability. It is a common way to prepare a latent curing agent by reacting a basic substance with an organic acid, but the residual organic acid in the monomer preparation process can reduce the effectiveness of the latent curing agent.

[0004] SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a new latent curing agent. The present application also aims to provide a low-temperature curing thermosetting resin composition, a method for preparing a patterned cured film, and an insulating film.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned and other related purposes, the present application provides the following technical solutions.

[0100] The low-temperature cured photosensitive resin composition solution was formed on a silicon wafer by spin coating and baking, and exposed to light using a UV mercury lamp with a power of 200 W, with the exposure energy set to 150 mJ. The exposed film was developed in a developer, and the development residual film thickness T1 / original film thickness T0 was measured.

[0102] The solution was spin coated on a silicon wafer, baked on a contact hot plate at 100°C for 4 minutes, and then exposed to light using a UV mercury lamp with a power of 200 W. The exposed film was developed in a developer, and then cured in a nitrogen oven at a temperature increase rate of 5°C per minute from room temperature to 150°C for 0.5 hours and to 230°C for 3 hours, and then cooled at a rate of 2°C per minute to room temperature.

[0105] The low-temperature cured photosensitive resin composition solution was formed on a silicon wafer by spin coating and baking, and exposed to light using a UV mercury lamp with a power of 200 W, with the exposure energy set to 150 mJ. The exposed film was developed in a developer, and the development residual film thickness T1 / original film thickness T0 was measured. If the development residual film thickness was greater than or equal to 90%, it was determined to be excellent; if the development residual film thickness was less than 90% but greater than or equal to 85%, it was determined to be intermediate; and if the development residual film thickness was less than 85%, it was determined to be poor.

The tensile strength was measured using a universal tensile tester. If the tensile strength was greater than or equal to 150 MPa, it was determined to be excellent; if the tensile strength was less than 150 MPa but greater than or equal to 130 MPa, it was determined to be intermediate; and if the tensile strength was less than 130 MPa, it was determined to be poor.

[0108] Storage stability:

[0109] The prepared low-temperature curing photosensitive resin composition solution is measured for initial viscosity at room temperature using a Brookfield viscometer, then is filled into a brown glass bottle, sealed, and placed in a constant-temperature oven at 50°C for aging. Further, the viscosity of the composition during aging is measured once a day using a Brookfield viscometer, and the number of days during which the viscosity can be maintained with a change of less than 5% compared to the initial viscosity is counted. If the time is greater than 7 days, it is excellent; if the time is less than 7 days but greater than or equal to 5 days, it is good; and if the time is less than 5 days, it is poor.
