Abstract
Description
Resins, resin compositions and their cured products, and semiconductor devices, display devices, secondary batteries and capacitors using the cured products.
[0001] The present invention relates to resins, resin compositions and their cured products, and semiconductor devices, display devices, secondary batteries, and capacitors using the cured products.
[0002] Polyimides, polyamideimides, polyamides, polybenzoxazoles, and polybenzothiazoles are used as protective films for semiconductor chips, interlayer insulating films for rewiring of semiconductor packages, insulating films for multilayer wiring substrates, and insulating films and planarization films for organic EL displays and liquid crystal displays, due to their heat resistance, electrical properties, and mechanical properties (high strength, high elongation). In recent years, their application to lithium-ion secondary batteries and electric double-layer capacitors is also being considered as high-strength binders to suppress the expansion and contraction of electrode active materials during charging and discharging.
[0003] Generally, polyimides and polybenzoxazoles are dissolved in a solvent in their precursor state, coated onto a suitable substrate, and then subjected to heat treatment at 200°C or higher to remove the solvent and dehydrate the ring, forming imide and oxazole rings, respectively, to obtain a resin insoluble in the solvent (see, for example, Patent Documents 1-2).
[0004] On the other hand, polyamides and polyamide-imides that do not use precursors are generally dissolved in a solvent, coated and processed, and then subjected to heat treatment for solvent removal (see, for example, Patent Documents 3-4).
[0005] For these polyamides and polyamide-imides, amide-based solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone have been preferred as solvents because they have a high interaction with imide and amide groups, making it easy for the resin to solvate.
[0006] In recent years, with the lowering of processing temperatures, research has been underway to replace amide solvents with ester-based, ketone-based, and alcohol-based solvents that offer high solvent removal during heat treatment. Methods for dissolving polyamides and polyamide-imides in these solvents include introducing a flexible backbone into the polymer's main chain and substituting hydrogen atoms bonded to nitrogen in amide groups with organic groups (see, for example, Patent Documents 5 and 6).

[0008] However, when attempting to obtain a multilayer laminated resin film using the resins described in Patent Documents 5-6, there was a problem in that the lower resin composition layer, which had been desolvented after heat treatment, would dissolve during the formation of the upper resin composition layer.

[0022] The resin of the present invention exhibits excellent solubility in ester-based solvents, ketone-based solvents, and alcohol-based solvents that have high solvent-removal properties during heat treatment. Furthermore, by dissociating the acid-dissociable groups bound to the resin, it becomes possible to make the resin insoluble in the solvent in which it was dissolved before dissociation. Therefore, when forming a multilayer structure by repeatedly forming a resin film using the resin of the present invention and dissociating the acid-dissociable groups, the resin of the lower layer, after the dissociation treatment is complete, does not dissolve during the formation of the upper layer.

[0024] The resin according to the embodiment of the present invention is a resin having amide bonds in the structural units of the polymer main chain, wherein some or all of the amide bonds are protected by acid-dissociable groups (hereinafter referred to as "(A) resin"). Furthermore, in the following description, a resin film containing (A) resin is referred to as "(A-1) resin film," and a resin film after the acid-dissociable groups of (A) resin in the (A-1) resin film have been dissociated is referred to as "(A-2) post-dissociation resin film."
[0025] Furthermore, an acid-dissociable group refers to an organic group represented by R when the -NH- of the amide bond in a resin is protected as -NR-, and which has the function of dissociating from its bond with nitrogen to become -NH- upon the action of an acid.
[0026] In this case, an amide bond in which the hydrogen atom of -NH- is replaced by an acid-dissociable group is called an "amide bond protected by an acid-dissociable group," and the dissociation of the acid-dissociable group into -NH- due to the action of an acid is called "deprotection."
[0027] (A) In resin, some or all of its amide bonds are protected by acid-dissociable groups, which weakens the intermolecular hydrogen bonds formed by the -NH- groups in the amide bonds. In addition, the steric hindrance of the acid-dissociable groups themselves improves the solubility of resin (A) in organic solvents. Due to these effects, resin (A) becomes soluble in polar solvents such as ester solvents, ketone solvents, and alcohol solvents.
[0028] Furthermore, after the acid-dissociable groups of resin (A) are dissociated, -NH- amide bonds are formed, reducing its solubility in organic solvents. By utilizing this property, when a resin film (A-1) is formed and the acid-dissociable groups are dissociated to obtain a dissociated resin film (A-2), the elution of the lower layer (A-2) dissociated resin film during the formation of the upper layer (A-1) resin film is reduced, and a multilayer structure of the dissociated resin film (A-2) can be formed. Hereafter, a multilayer structure having one or more layers of the dissociated resin film (A-2) obtained by such an operation will be referred to as a "multilayer structure of resin film (A-2)".
[0029] The multilayer structure of the resin film described above may be a laminate of one or more resin films, or it may be a substrate 10 including a multilayer wiring structure in which resin films and wiring are alternately laminated, as shown in Figure 1. In this case, the layers of resin film (L1 to L4) sandwiched between the wiring layers are called interlayer insulating films.
[0030] The acid used in the dissociation treatment of the acid-dissociable groups described above can be supplied by methods such as applying or spraying an acid-containing solution onto the (A-1) resin film, impregnating the (A-1) resin film with an acidic solution, or exposing the (A-1) resin film to an acidic atmosphere. Alternatively, as will be described later, a thermal acid generator or a photoacid generator may be added to the (A) resin together with the (B) solvent, and the resin composition may be used in which the acid-dissociable groups are dissociated by the acid generated by heat or light.
[0031] <(A) Resin> In resin (A), the amide bond may be included in either the main chain portion or the side chain portion of the polymer's structural unit, but it is preferable that it be included in the main chain portion. Preferred resins (A) include resins selected from the group consisting of polyamides, polyamide-imides, polyimide precursors, and copolymers thereof.

[0087] (A-2) In the process of manufacturing a multilayer structure of a resin film, from the viewpoint of improving the proportion of the lower layer (A-2) post-dissociation resin film that is retained without dissolving when the upper layer (A-1) resin film is formed, it is preferable that the structural units of (a-1) and (a-2) below are 60 mol% or more with respect to 100 mol% of the total structural units of the resin (A). The structural units of (a-1) and (a-2) are more preferably 80 mol% or more, even more preferably 90 mol% or more, and most preferably 95 mol% or more. (a-1) Structural units of formulas (1) to (5) (a-2) In formulas (1) to (5), R 1 ~R 5 , R 8 , R 9 , R 12 , and R 13 A structural unit in which all atoms are hydrogen atoms.
[0088] (A) The resin is synthesized by the methods listed below, but is not limited to these. A preferred method is to first polymerize the polymer, and then protect the hydrogen atoms of the amide group with an acid-dissociable group.
[0089] In the case of structures represented by formula (1) or formula (3), the polymer is generally polymerized by dissolving a diamine or a hydroxyl group-containing diamine in a solvent such as NMP, DMF, DMAC, GBL, or DMSO, and then adding a dicarboxylic acid to carry out the reaction. The reaction temperature is generally -20°C to 100°C, with 0°C to 50°C being preferred. The reaction time is generally 1 minute to 100 hours, with 2 hours to 24 hours being preferred. During the reaction, it is preferable to prevent moisture from entering the system by flowing nitrogen. In a typical reaction, a dicarboxylic acid chloride is reacted with a diamine solution, and then a polyamide can be obtained by heat treatment at 100°C to 300°C for 1 minute to 24 hours.
[0090] Subsequently, in the case of the structure represented by formula (1), the hydrogen atoms of the amide group in the polymer are protected with an acid-dissociating group, and in the case of the structure represented by formula (3), the hydrogen atoms of the amide group and hydroxyl group in the polymer are protected with an acid-dissociating group. As a protection method, for example, when protecting with an acid-dissociating group containing an oxycarbonyl group, a protective agent such as di-tert-butyl dicarbonate or di-tert-amyl dicarbonate is mixed with a base catalyst such as dimethylaminopyridine, and the reaction is carried out at room temperature to 100°C for several minutes to about 10 hours. At this time, the degree of protection of the amide group in the polymer can be adjusted by changing the amount of protective agent added.
[0091] In the case of the structure represented by formula (2), the polymer is generally polymerized by dissolving the diamine in a solvent such as NMP, DMF, DMAC, GBL, or DMSO, and then adding a tricarboxylic acid to carry out the reaction. The reaction temperature is generally -20°C to 100°C, with 0°C to 50°C being preferred. The reaction time is generally 1 minute to 100 hours, with 2 hours to 24 hours being preferred. During the reaction, it is preferable to prevent moisture from entering the system by flowing nitrogen through it.
[0092] A common reaction involves reacting a diamine solution with tricarboxylic acid chloride, followed by a heat treatment at 100°C to 300°C for 1 minute to 24 hours to obtain polyamide-imide. In this case, the reaction can be accelerated by adding acid anhydrides such as acetic anhydride or bases such as triethylamine, pyridine, or picoline as catalysts at a concentration of 0.1 to 10% by weight relative to the amount of polymer. Alternatively, polyamide-imide can be obtained by polymerizing diamine and trimellitic anhydride chloride in the presence of pyridine, triethylamine, etc., then isolating the polymer as a solid, and finally heating the solid at a temperature of 100 to 300°C for 1 minute to 24 hours.
[0093] In the case of the structure represented by formula (2), the amino group of the diamine compound used in polymer polymerization is replaced with an isocyanate, and the polymer is reacted with a tetracarboxylic dianhydride, a tricarboxylic anhydride, and possibly a tin-based catalyst or a base catalyst at a temperature range of room temperature to 200°C for 1 minute to 24 hours. This method is preferable because it does not produce water as a by-product.
[0094] Subsequently, the hydrogen atoms of the amide groups in the polymer are protected with acid-dissociable groups. The protection method is the same as that used for the structure represented by formula (1).
[0095] In the case of the structure represented by formula (4) or formula (5), the polymer is generally polymerized by dissolving the diamine in a solvent such as N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC), gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and then adding a tetracarboxylic dianhydride to carry out the reaction. The reaction temperature is generally -20°C to 100°C, with 0°C to 50°C being preferred. The reaction time is generally 1 minute to 100 hours, with 2 hours to 24 hours being preferred. During the reaction, it is preferable to prevent moisture from entering the system by flowing nitrogen. Subsequently, a polyamic acid ester can be obtained by reacting the polymer with an acetal compound such as dimethylformamide dialkyl acetal. The esterification rate can be adjusted by changing the amount of acetal compound added.
[0096] In the case of the structure represented by formula (4), the following method can also be used as an alternative method for polymerizing the polymer. First, the tetracarboxylic dianhydride is mixed with an alcohol such as ethanol, propanol, or butanol and a base catalyst such as pyridine or triethylamine, and the mixture is reacted at room temperature to 100°C for several minutes to 10 hours to obtain a dicarboxylic acid diester compound. In order to obtain the dicarboxylic acid diester compound, the tetracarboxylic dianhydride may be directly dispersed in the alcohol, or the tetracarboxylic dianhydride may be dissolved in a solvent such as NMP, DMAC, DMF, DMSO, or GBL, and then reacted with the alcohol and base catalyst.
[0097] The obtained dicarboxylic acid diester is heated in thionyl chloride or reacted with oxalo dichloride to obtain a dicarboxylic acid chloride diester. The obtained dicarboxylic acid chloride diester is recovered by distillation or other methods and added dropwise to a solution in which the diamine is dissolved in a solvent such as NMP, DMAC, DMF, DMSO, or GBL in the presence of pyridine or triethylamine. The dropwise addition is preferably carried out at -20°C to 30°C. After the dropwise addition is complete, the reaction is carried out at -20°C to 50°C for 1 to 100 hours to obtain a polyamic acid ester.
[0098] Furthermore, since using dicarboxylic acid dichloride diesters results in the formation of hydrochloride salts as byproducts, it is preferable to react the diamine with a peptide condensation reagent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, rather than heat-treating the dicarboxylic acid diester in thionyl chloride or reacting it with oxalo dichloride.
[0099] Subsequently, in the case of the structure represented by formula (4), the hydrogen atoms of the amide group in the polymer are protected with an acid-dissociating group, and in the case of the structure represented by formula (5), the hydrogen atoms of the amide group and hydroxyl group in the polymer are protected with an acid-dissociating group. The protection method is the same as that used for the structure represented by formula (1).
[0100] A preferred method for protecting the hydrogen atoms of the amide and hydroxyl groups of a polymer with acid-dissociable groups is a method that includes the step of reacting a resin having amide bonds in the structural units of the polymer main chain with a compound represented by formula (11).
[0101]
[0102] In formula (11), R 28 and R 29 Each of these independently represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms. Preferred specific examples of hydrocarbon groups having 1 to 20 carbon atoms include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, t-butyl, pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, amyl, hexyl, cyclohexyl, cyclopentyl, and 1,1-dimethylbutyl groups.
[0103] From the viewpoint of improving the imidization rate, it is more preferable that the compound represented by formula (11) is at least one selected from the compounds represented below.
[0104]
[0105] (A) In the polymerization reaction for synthesizing the polymer of the resin, the molar ratio of acidic components such as tetracarboxylic acid, tricarboxylic acid, and dicarboxylic acid to diamine or diisocyanate is preferably 100 mol% or less, more preferably 95 mol% or less, even more preferably 90 mol% or less, and most preferably 85 mol% or less, relative to 100 mol% of diamine or diisocyanate. When there is a higher proportion of diamine or diisocyanate, the terminal amine and isocyanate groups have the effect of improving the adhesion between the (A) resin and the filler, conductive substrate, or conductive wiring.
[0106] Alternatively, resin (A) may be obtained by precipitation in a poor solvent for the resin, such as methanol or water, after the completion of polymer polymerization and / or after protection with an acid-dissociable group, followed by washing and drying. Precipitation has the advantage of improving heat resistance because by-products from the esterifying agent, condensing agent, and acid chloride used during polymerization, as well as low molecular weight components of the resin precursor, can be removed.
[0107] <(B) Solvent> The resin composition according to the embodiment of the present invention preferably contains the (A) resin and the (B) solvent. Preferably used as the (B) solvent are ethers such as ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, ethylene glycol diethyl ether, ethylene glycol dibutyl ether, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, and diethylene glycol methyl ethyl ether; acetates such as ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, propyl acetate, butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, 3-methoxybutyl acetate, 3-methyl-3-methoxybutyl acetate, methyl lactate, ethyl lactate, and butyl lactate; ketones such as acetylacetone, methyl propyl ketone, methyl butyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclopentanone, and 2-heptanone. Examples include alcohols such as butyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, pentanol, 4-methyl-2-pentanol, 3-methyl-2-butanol, 3-methyl-3-methoxybutanol, and diacetone alcohol; aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene; and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-cyclohexyl-2-pyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and γ-butyrolactone. These can be used individually or in combination.
[0108] (A-2) In the process of fabricating a multilayer structure of resin films, from the viewpoint of improving the proportion in which the lower layer (A-2) post-dissociation resin film is retained without dissolving during the formation of the upper layer (A-1) resin film, (B) when the total amount of solvent is 100% by mass, the Hansen solubility parameter (HSP value: δ) is 22.5 (MPa). 1/2 Preferably, the following solvents make up 50% by mass or more of the total solvent. More preferably, 70% by mass or more, even more preferably 80% by mass or more, and most preferably 90% by mass or more.
[0109] By reducing the polarity of the solvent, the interaction between the polar groups of the resin (A) and the solvent is reduced, and it is thought that the intermolecular forces between polyimides after heat treatment will be strengthened.
[0110] Preferred examples include, but are not limited to, methylene chloride (δ=19.8), dioxane (δ=19.8), anisole (δ=19.6), tetrahydrofuran (δ=19.5), propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (δ=19.3), methyl ethyl ketone (δ=19.1), chloroform (δ=18.9), toluene (δ=18.2), xylene (δ=18.1), benzene (δ=18.5), ethyl acetate (δ=18.2), butyl butyrate (δ=16.8), butyl acetate (δ=17.4), methyl isobutyl ketone (δ=17.0), cyclohexane (δ=16.8), propylene glycol monomethyl ether (δ=20.4), cyclohexanone (δ=20.3), cyclopentanone (δ=22.1), ethyl lactate (δ=21.7), and diacetone alcohol (δ=20.8).
[0111] In this invention, the Hansen solubility parameter (HSP value: δ) is a value published by Charles M. Hansen in 1967 that is used to predict the solubility of a substance, and is calculated from the energies of δd (dispersion force term), δp (dipole term), and δh (hydrogen bond term). 2 = (δd) 2 + (δp) 2 + (δh) 2 It is calculated as follows. The value of δ tends to decrease as the polarity of the solvent decreases.
[0112] The Hansen solubility parameters used here are those listed in Hansen, Charles (2007). Hansen Solubility Parameters: A user's handbook, Second Edition. Boca Raton, Fla: CRC Press. The values are calculated using the software HSPiP (Hansen Solubility Parameter in Practice) (manufactured by HSP Science), which calculates the Hansen solubility parameters. The results can also be obtained by quoting from the HSP value calculation results (1218 substances: source: https: / / www.stevenabbott.co.uk / practical-solubility / hsp-basics.php) published by Professor Steven Abbott.
[0113] In the resin composition, the concentration of (A) the resin and the viscosity of the resin composition are preferably in the range of 1 mPa·s to 1000 Pa·s at a concentration of 1 to 50% by weight and a viscosity of 1 mPa·s to 1000 Pa·s, and more preferably at a concentration of 5 to 30% by weight and a viscosity of 100 mPa·s to 100 Pa·s. This range allows for the formation of a uniform film without unevenness.
[0114] From the viewpoint of suppressing crack formation in multilayer structures during thermal cycling tests and improving the reliability of multilayer structures, it is preferable that the tensile modulus of the film obtained by heat-treating the resin composition of the present invention at 250°C for 1 hour is 3.5 GPa or more and 20 GPa or less. Having the tensile modulus within this range makes it possible to suppress deformation of the substrate during thermal cycling tests, leading to crack suppression. Preferably, it is 4.0 GPa or more and 20 GPa or less.
[0115] In this invention, the tensile modulus is calculated by cutting a single interlayer insulating film with a thickness of 10 μm into strips 1 cm wide and approximately 9 cm long, and performing a tensile test on the film under the following conditions, and taking the average of the top 5 measurement results: Temperature: 23°C, Humidity: 45% RH, Chuck distance: 5 cm, Full-scale load: 25 N, Crosshead speed: 50 mm / min, Breakage detection sensitivity: 1.0%.
[0116] In the resin composition according to the embodiment of the present invention, (A) the resin is preferably such that the absorbance A1 per 1 μm of film thickness of the film, when applied to a substrate in a solution dissolved in a solvent and dried at 100°C for 2 minutes using a hot plate, and the absorbance A2 per 1 μm of film thickness of the film, when heat-treated at 250°C for 1 hour using an oven after drying, are 0.003 < A1 < 0.3 and A2 ≥ 0.3.
[0117] When photosensitivity is imparted to a resin composition, the less light absorption by the resin (A) before heat treatment, the more light the photosensitive agent in the resin film (A-1) absorbs during exposure, resulting in higher sensitivity. From this viewpoint, it is more preferable that A1 be less than 0.07, and even more preferable that it be less than 0.03.
[0118] Furthermore, if the multilayer structure is a multilayer wiring structure, (A-1) ultraviolet light used in the exposure process of the resin film can degrade the adhesion between the underlying (A-2) dissociated resin film and the wiring.
[0119] If the light absorption after heat treatment is high (A-2), ultraviolet light transmission within the resin film after dissociation is suppressed, which can suppress delamination within the multilayer wiring structure during thermal cycle testing and lead to improved reliability of the multilayer structure. From this viewpoint, it is more preferable that A2 be greater than 0.4, and even more preferable that it be greater than 0.8.
[0120] <(C) Thermal acid generator> From the viewpoint of promoting the detachment of acid-dissociable groups bonded to the amide group at lower temperatures, it is preferable that the resin composition according to the embodiment of the present invention further contains (C) a thermal acid generator in addition to (A) the resin and (B) the solvent. Specific examples of (C) thermoacid generators that are preferably used include SI-60, SI-80, SI-100, SI-110, SI-145, SI-150, SI-60L, SI-80L, SI-100L, SI-110L, SI-145L, SI-150L, SI-160L, SI-180L (all manufactured by Sanshin Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.), 4-hydroxyphenyldimethylsulfonium, benzyl-4-hydroxyphenylmethylsulfonium, 2-methylbenzyl-4-hydroxyphenylmethylsulfonium, 2-methylbenzyl-4-acetylphenylmethylsulfonium, 2-methylbenzyl-4-benzoyloxyphenylmethylsulfonium, their methanesulfonates, trifluoromethanesulfonates, camphorsulfonates, and p-toluenesulfonates. More preferably, these are 4-hydroxyphenyldimethylsulfonium, benzyl-4-hydroxyphenylmethylsulfonium, 2-methylbenzyl-4-hydroxyphenylmethylsulfonium, 2-methylbenzyl-4-acetylphenylmethylsulfonium, 2-methylbenzyl-4-benzoyloxyphenylmethylsulfonium, their methanesulfonates, trifluoromethanesulfonates, camphorsulfonates, and p-toluenesulfonates. These compounds may be used individually or in combination of two or more.
[0121] In the resin composition, the preferred content of (C) the thermal acid generator is 0.01 to 10 parts by weight, and more preferably 0.01 to 0.5 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of (A) the resin.
[0122] <(D) Photoacid Generator> From the viewpoint that the acid generated by light promotes the detachment of acid-dissociable groups bonded to the amide group at a lower temperature, the resin composition according to the embodiment of the present invention may further contain (D) a photoacid generator in addition to (A) the resin and (B) the solvent. In this case, the resin composition may further contain (C) a thermal acid generator.
[0123] By including (D) a photoacid generator in the resin composition, when a film obtained from the resin composition is partially irradiated with light, the detachment of acid-dissociable groups can be carried out only in the irradiated area. By developing the film after light irradiation with a solvent that can dissolve (A) the resin (for example, solvent (B)), only the unirradiated areas where the detachment of acid-dissociable groups has not occurred are eluted, and a negative-type relief pattern can be obtained. Specific examples of (D) photoacid generators include ester compounds of polyvalent phenol compounds and naphthoquinone diazidosulfonic acid compounds, onium salt type ionic photoacid generators, and nonionic photoacid generators. An onium salt refers to a compound formed when a compound having an electron pair that does not participate in chemical bonding coordinates with another cationic compound using that electron pair. In the case of the ionic photoacid generator, the cation part of the onium salt determines the photochemical properties (molar extinction coefficient, absorption wavelength, quantum yield), and the anionic part determines the strength of the acid produced. On the other hand, nonionic photoacid generators are photoacid generators in which a light-absorbing site and an acid are bonded via an ester bond.
[0124] As an ionic photoacid generator, one that does not contain heavy metals or halogen ions is preferred, and triorganosulfonium salt compounds are more preferred. Specific examples of triorganosulfonium salt compounds include, for example, methanesulfonate, trifluoromethanesulfonate, camphorsulfonate, 4-toluenesulfonate, and perfluoro-1-butanesulfonate of triphenylsulfonium ("SP-056", trade name, manufactured by ADEKA Corporation); the aforementioned sulfonate of dimethyl-1-naphthylsulfonium; the aforementioned sulfonate of dimethyl(4-hydroxy-1-naphthyl)sulfonium; the aforementioned sulfonate of dimethyl(4,7-dihydroxy-1-naphthyl)sulfonium; and the aforementioned sulfonate of diphenyliodonium.
[0125] Nonionic photoacid generators that can be used include diazomethane compounds, sulfone compounds, sulfonic acid ester compounds, carboxylic acid ester compounds, sulfonimide compounds, phosphate ester compounds, and sulfonebenzotriazole compounds.
[0126] A specific example of a diazomethane compound is bis(4-methylphenylsulfonyl)diazomethane ("WPAG-199", trade name, manufactured by Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.).
[0127] Specific examples of sulfone compounds include, for example, β-ketosulfone compounds and β-sulfonylsulfone compounds. Preferred sulfone compounds include 2-(p-toluenesulfonyl)acetophenone and bis(phenylsulfonyl)methane.
[0128] Specific examples of sulfonic acid ester compounds include alkyl sulfonic acid esters, haloalkyl sulfonic acid esters, aryl sulfonic acid esters, and iminosulfonic acid ester compounds. Preferred specific examples include benzoin-4-tolylsulfonate, pyrogalloltris(methylsulfonate), nitrobenzyl-9,10-diethoxyanthuryl-2-sulfonate, and 2,6-(dinitrobenzyl)phenylsulfonate.
[0129] A specific example of a carboxylic acid ester compound is, for instance, 2-nitrobenzyl carboxylic acid.
[0130] From the viewpoint of promoting the detachment of the acid-dissociable group bonded to the amide group, preferred photoacid generators (D) include oximesulfonate compounds and / or imidosulfonate compounds.
[0131] Specific examples of oxime sulfonates include “Irgacure” (registered trademark) PAG-103 (benzeneacetonitrile, 2-methyl-α-[[(propylsulfonyl)oxy]imino]-3(2H)-thienylidene), PAG-121 (benzeneacetonitrile, 2-methyl-α-[[(4-methylphenyl)oxy]imino]-3(2H)-thienylidene), PAG-108 (benzeneacetonitrile, 2-methyl-α-[[(n-octyl)oxy]imino]-3(2H)-thienylidene), PAG-203 (all manufactured by BASF Japan), PAI-101 ((Z)-4-methoxy-N-(tosiloxy)benzimidoylcyanide, manufactured by Midori Chemical Co., Ltd.).
[0132] Specific examples of imidosulfonate compounds include N-hydroxynaphthalimide triflate, “ADEKA ARCULUS” (registered trademark) SP-606 (4-butyl-N-hydroxynaphthalimide triflate, manufactured by ADEKA Corporation), NA-101 (N-hydroxynaphthalimide-p-toluenesulfonate), and NA-106 (N-hydroxynaphthalimide camphor sulfonate, all manufactured by Midori Chemical Co., Ltd.).
[0133] In the resin composition, the content of (D) the photoacid generator is preferably 1 to 100 parts by mass, and more preferably 1 to 40 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of (A) resin, from the viewpoint of the difference in dissolution rates between the exposed and unexposed areas and the tolerance range of sensitivity.
[0134] <Other Components> In the resin composition according to the embodiment of the present invention, when negative photosensitivity is imparted using a resin having a structural unit of formula (4) or formula (5), R in formula (4) 10 , R 11 , or R in equation (5) 16 , R 17 However, it is preferable that the group is one having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond, such as an ethyl methacrylate group, an ethyl acrylate group, a propyl methacrylate group, a propyl acrylate group, an ethyl methacrylamide group, a propyl methacrylamide group, an ethyl acrylamide group, or a propyl acrylamide group.
[0135] The resin composition according to the embodiment of the present invention may contain a photopolymerizable compound to improve its photosensitivity. Examples of photopolymerizable compounds include, but are not limited to, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, diethylene glycol dimethacrylate, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate, propylene glycol dimethacrylate, methylene bismethacrylamide, and methylene bisacrylamide.
[0136] In the resin composition, the content of the photopolymerizable compound is preferably in the range of 1 to 30 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the resin (A). Within this range, a (A-2) post-dissociation resin film can be obtained that has high sensitivity and good mechanical properties after dissociation of the acid-dissociable group, or after additional heat treatment after dissociation of the acid-dissociable group.
