Abstract
Description
Photocurable resin composition, cured product, laminate, method for manufacturing the cured product, method for manufacturing the laminate, method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, semiconductor device, and photobase generator
[0001] The present invention relates to a photocurable resin composition, a cured product, a laminate, a method for producing a cured product, a method for producing a laminate, a method for producing a semiconductor device, a semiconductor device, and a base generator.
[0002] In modern times, resin materials manufactured from resin compositions containing resins are utilized in various fields. For example, resins such as polyimide are used in a wide range of applications due to their excellent heat resistance and insulation properties. While not limited to these applications, examples of applications in semiconductor devices for packaging include their use as insulating films, encapsulating materials, or protective films. They are also used as base films and coverlays for flexible substrates.
[0003] For example, in the applications described above, resins such as polyimide are used in the form of a photocurable resin composition containing a resin such as a polyimide precursor. Such a photocurable resin composition can be applied to a substrate, for example by coating, to form a resin film, and then, if necessary, exposure, development, heating, etc., can be performed to form a cured product on the substrate. Since photocurable resin compositions can be applied by known methods, they offer excellent manufacturing adaptability, such as a high degree of freedom in designing the shape, size, and application position of the photocurable resin composition to be applied. In addition to the high performance of resins such as polyimide, the industrial application development of the above-mentioned photocurable resin compositions is increasingly expected from the viewpoint of such excellent manufacturing adaptability.
[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 describes a photosensitive resin composition characterized by containing a carboxylic acid represented by and an ionic base generator of a base.
[0005] International Publication No. 2017 / 141734
[0006] In photocurable resin compositions containing polyimide precursors, curing at low temperatures is sometimes performed from the viewpoint of suppressing thermal deformation of the substrate and other components, and saving energy. For example, in recent years, due to reasons such as the multilayering of semiconductor laminates, heating at high temperatures (e.g., 200°C or higher) can cause warping of the semiconductor substrate, so curing at low temperatures (e.g., 180°C or lower) is desired.
[0007] The present invention aims to provide a photocurable resin composition that yields a cured product with excellent film strength even when cured at low temperatures, a cured product obtained by curing the photocurable resin composition, a laminate containing the cured product, a method for manufacturing the cured product, a method for manufacturing the laminate, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device including the method for manufacturing the cured product, and a semiconductor device containing the cured product. The present invention also aims to provide a novel base generator.

[0011] (Photocurable resin composition) The photocurable resin composition of the present invention (hereinafter also simply referred to as "photocurable resin composition") contains a compound represented by formula (A-1) (hereinafter also referred to as "compound A") and a resin which is a polyimide precursor having polymerizable groups. In formula (A-1), Ar represents an aromatic ring structure, or a structure in which two or more aromatic ring structures are linked by a linking group, and R 1 is a monovalent organic group or halogen atom, n1 is an integer from 1 to 4, and all n1 structures are bonded by a single bond to the aromatic ring structure of Ar, m1 is an integer from 0 to 4, X is a countercation containing a positively charged nitrogen atom, nx1 is an integer of 1 or more, and if X is an a-valent cation, (a × nx1) is the same number as n1, and if X is a quaternary alkylammonium cation, then m1 is 1 to 4, or n1 is 2 or more, or Ar is a substituted phenyl group or an aromatic ring structure other than a phenyl group.
[0012] The photocurable resin composition of the present invention is preferably used to form a photosensitive film subjected to exposure and development, and more preferably used to form a photosensitive film subjected to exposure and development using a developer containing an organic solvent. The photocurable resin composition of the present invention can be used, for example, to form insulating films for semiconductor devices, interlayer insulating films for redistribution layers, stress buffer films, etc., and is preferably used to form interlayer insulating films for redistribution layers. Furthermore, the photocurable resin composition of the present invention is preferably used to form a photosensitive film subjected to negative-type development. In the present invention, negative-type development refers to development in which unexposed areas are removed by development during exposure and development, and positive-type development refers to development in which exposed areas are removed by development. As the above exposure method, the above developer, and the above development method, for example, the exposure method, the developer, and the development method described in the exposure step, and the development step, respectively, in the description of the method for manufacturing a cured product described later, can be used.
[0013] The photocurable resin composition of the present invention yields a cured product with excellent film strength even when cured at low temperatures. The mechanism by which the above effect is obtained is unknown, but it is presumed to be as follows.
[0014] The compound represented by formula (A-1) has n units of structure that are bonded to the aromatic ring structure of Ar by single bonds without linking groups, thus extending the conjugated structure and resulting in longer absorption wavelengths. This is thought to allow for sufficient decomposition by exposure light, generating bases. Furthermore, the compound represented by formula (A-1) undergoes photobleaching after absorbing exposure light, making base generation more likely even in the deeper parts of the film. These generated bases promote imidation in polyimide and polyimide precursors during subsequent heating, resulting in cured products with excellent mechanical properties even at low temperatures. Additionally, the anion in the compound represented by formula (A-1) is a relatively strong acid anion and is thought to form a strong salt with the countercation. As a result, the compound represented by formula (A-1) is less likely to decompose in the composition, and the compound itself is thought to have a long pot life. Moreover, because the compound represented by formula (A-1) is less likely to decompose as described above, base generation during storage of the composition is suppressed, the promotion of resin imidation in the composition is suppressed, and the storage stability of the composition is increased. Furthermore, because it possesses a photodegradation mechanism accompanied by decarboxylation, it functions not only as a base generator but also as a radical polymerization initiator, and is thought to contribute to radical polymerization in pattern formation. Moreover, it is thought that the generation of a sufficient amount of base promotes the decomposition and elimination of polymerizable groups in the resin present in the polyimide precursor.

[0083] <Specific Resin> The photocurable resin composition of the present invention contains a polyimide precursor having polymerizable groups.
[0084] [Polyimide Precursor] In this specification, a polyimide precursor is a resin having at least one structure represented by the following formula (AM-1) or formula (AM-2). A resin that undergoes a chemical structure change upon heating to become polyimide is preferred, and a resin that undergoes a ring-closing reaction upon heating to form a ring structure to become polyimide is more preferred. In formula (AM-1) or formula (AM-2), R 1 represents a tetravalent organic group, R 2 represents a monovalent organic group, and A is -O- or -NR 3 - represents R 3 represents a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group, and * represents a bonding site with other structures.
[0085] The polyimide precursor may or may not undergo imidization treatment. Imidization treatment here refers to heating reactions at 50°C or higher, ring-closing reactions using imidization catalysts (acid catalysts, base catalysts, condensing agents, etc.), and chemical imidization (dehydration reactions using acetic anhydride / pyridine, triphenyl phosphite, etc.). Specifically, it is preferable that the resin exhibits an increased imidization rate (preferably heat) upon external stimulation.
[0086] In this specification, polyimide refers to a resin having repeating units containing imide structures within its molecular chain, and preferably a resin having repeating units containing imide ring structures within its molecular chain. Furthermore, if the polyimide is a linear resin, it is preferable that the polyimide is a resin having repeating units containing imide structures within its main chain, and more preferably a resin having repeating units containing imide ring structures within its main chain. In this specification, "main chain" refers to the relatively longest bonding chain in the resin molecule, and "side chains" refer to the other bonding chains. In this specification, imide structure refers to a structure represented by *-C(=O)N(-*)C(=O)-*, where * represents a bonding site with another structure, preferably a bonding site with a carbon atom, and more preferably a bonding site with a quaternary carbon atom. In this specification, imide ring structure refers to a ring structure that includes all two carbon atoms and nitrogen atoms in the above imide structure as ring members. The imide ring structure is preferably a five-membered ring. In addition to the imide structure, polyimide may also be a so-called polyamide imide, which has amide bonds within its molecular chain. In this specification, an amide bond refers to a structure represented by *-C(=O)N(-#)-*, where * represents a bonding site with another structure, preferably a bonding site with a carbon atom, and more preferably a bonding site with a quaternary carbon atom. Also, # represents a bonding site with another structure, preferably a bonding site with a hydrogen atom or a carbon atom, and more preferably a bonding site with a hydrogen atom.
[0087] The imidization rate (also called the "ring closure rate") of a specific resin is acceptable if it is less than 100% from the viewpoint of the film strength and insulating properties of the resulting organic film, but is preferably 99% or less, more preferably 90% or less, even more preferably 70% or more, particularly preferably 50% or less, even more preferably 30% or less, and most preferably 20% or less. The lower limit of the above imidization rate is not particularly limited and may be 0% or more. The above imidization rate is measured, for example, by the method described below.
[0088] In this invention, the imidization rate can be calculated by the following method. A specific resin is dissolved in γ-butyrolactone, diluted to a viscosity of 2,000 mPa·s, and applied to a silicon wafer by spin coating to form a resin layer. If a resin layer cannot be formed due to reasons such as low solubility of the resin in γ-butyrolactone, the solvent may be changed to another solvent. Other solvents that can be used include solvents contained in photocurable resin compositions, such as NMP. The viscosity may also be changed as appropriate within an adjustable range. The silicon wafer to which the obtained resin layer has been applied is dried on a hot plate at 110°C for 5 minutes to obtain a resin layer with a uniform thickness of approximately 15 μm on the silicon wafer after film formation. Here, if only a resin solution with low viscosity can be obtained, and it is difficult to obtain a resin layer with a thickness of 15 μm, the film thickness may be changed as appropriate. For example, if the film thickness is 5 μm or more, a similar value for the imidization rate can be obtained. The above resin layer was measured using the ATR method with Nicoleti S20 (manufactured by Thermofisher), with a measurement range of 4000–700 cm. -1 The measurement was taken 50 times. 1380 cm -1 Nearby (1350-1450 cm) -1 (If there are multiple peaks, the peak height of the one with the highest peak intensity) and 1500 cm -1 Nearby (1460-1550 cm) -1The imidization index A of the resin is calculated by dividing the value by the peak height of the peak with the maximum peak intensity (if there are multiple peaks). The film is heated at a rate of 10°C / min under a nitrogen atmosphere and heated to 350°C for 1 hour. The imidization index B is calculated in the same manner, and the value obtained by dividing the imidization index A by the imidization index B is calculated as the imidization rate of the resin. In measuring the imidization rate, the resin to be measured for imidization rate can be obtained from the composition by, for example, the following method: A solution of 1 g of the composition and 2 g of tetrahydrofuran is added to 50 g of methanol or water and crystallized to precipitate the resin, which is then filtered. The filtrate is collected, dissolved in 3.0 g of THF (tetrahydrofuran), added to 50 g of methanol or water and crystallized, filtered, and dried at 40°C for 20 hours to obtain the resin.

[0140] [Synthesis Method for Specific Resins] As a synthesis method for specific resins, general methods for synthesizing polyamic acid or polyamic acid esters, or polyimides can be used.

[0142] Furthermore, as a terminal encapsulant, it is also preferable to use a compound having a polymerizable group in addition to a functional group that can react with an amino group. The polymerizable group is not limited as long as it can form a new organic bond. Examples of organic bonds that can be formed include carbon-carbon bonds, ester bonds, amide bonds, imide bonds, urea bonds, and urethane bonds. The above organic bonds are formed by radical crosslinking, cationic crosslinking, photodimerization, and by being induced by light or heat from combinations of carboxylic acid-alcohol, carboxylic acid-amine, isocyanate-alcohol, isocyanate-amine, etc. Preferred polymerizable groups include (meth)acrylic groups, styryl groups, carbon-carbon unsaturated groups, maleimide groups, epoxy groups, oxetane groups, and isocyanate groups.
[0143] -Solid Precipitation- The method for producing a specific resin may include a step of precipitating a solid. Specifically, after filtering off the water-absorbing by-products of the dehydrating condensing agent present in the reaction solution as needed, the obtained polymer component is added to a poor solvent such as water, an aliphatic lower alcohol, or a mixture thereof, and the polymer component is precipitated as a solid. By drying this precipitate, a polyimide precursor or the like can be obtained. To improve the degree of purity, the polyimide precursor or the like may be repeatedly redissolved, reprecipitation, and dried. Furthermore, the method may include a step of removing ionic impurities using an ion exchange resin.

Examples of substrates include semiconductor manufacturing substrates such as silicon, silicon nitride, polysilicon, silicon oxide, and amorphous silicon; quartz, glass, optical films, ceramic materials, vapor-deposited films, magnetic films, reflective films; metal substrates such as Ni, Cu, Cr, and Fe (for example, substrates formed from metal, and substrates in which a metal layer is formed by, for example, plating or vapor deposition); paper, SOG (Spin On Glass), TFT (thin film transistor) array substrates, molded substrates, and electrode plates for plasma display panels (PDPs). Semiconductor manufacturing substrates are particularly preferred, and silicon substrates, Cu substrates, and molded substrates are more preferred. These substrates may have layers such as an adhesion layer or an oxide layer made of hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) on their surface. The shape of the substrate is not particularly limited and may be circular or rectangular. If the substrate is circular, for example, a diameter of 100 to 450 mm is preferred, and 200 to 450 mm is more preferred. If it is rectangular, for example, the length of the shorter side is preferred to be 100 to 1000 mm, and 200 to 700 mm is more preferred. As the substrate, for example, a plate-shaped, preferably panel-shaped, substrate (substrate) is used.
[0349] When a photocurable resin composition is applied to the surface of a resin layer (for example, a layer made of cured material) or a metal layer to form a film, the resin layer or metal layer serves as the substrate.
[0350] Coating is a preferred method for applying the photocurable resin composition onto a substrate. Specific application methods include dip coating, air knife coating, curtain coating, wire bar coating, gravure coating, extrusion coating, spray coating, spin coating, slit coating, and inkjet coating. From the viewpoint of uniformity of film thickness, spin coating, slit coating, spray coating, or inkjet coating are preferred, and from the viewpoint of both uniformity of film thickness and productivity, spin coating and slit coating are more preferred. By adjusting the solid content concentration of the photocurable resin composition and the coating conditions according to the application method, a film of the desired thickness can be obtained. Furthermore, the coating method can be appropriately selected depending on the shape of the substrate; for circular substrates such as wafers, spin coating, spray coating, and inkjet coating are preferred, while for rectangular substrates, slit coating, spray coating, and inkjet coating are preferred. In the case of spin coating, for example, it can be applied at a rotation speed of 500 to 3,500 rpm for about 10 seconds to 3 minutes. Furthermore, a method can be applied in which a coating film, which has been previously applied and formed on a temporary support using the above application method, is transferred onto the substrate. Regarding the transfer method, the manufacturing methods described in paragraphs 0023, 0036-0051 of Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2006-023696 and paragraphs 0096-0108 of Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2006-047592 can be suitably used. In addition, a step of removing excess film at the edges of the substrate may be performed. Examples of such steps include edge bead rinsing (EBR) and back rinsing. A pre-wetting step may also be employed in which various solvents are applied to the substrate before applying the photocurable resin composition to the substrate to improve the wettability of the substrate, and then the photocurable resin composition is applied.
[0351] <Drying Process> After the film formation process (layer formation process), the film may be subjected to a drying process to remove the solvent from the formed film (layer). That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a drying process for drying the film formed in the film formation process. The drying process is preferably performed after the film formation process and before the exposure process. The drying temperature of the film in the drying process is preferably 50 to 150°C, more preferably 70 to 130°C, and even more preferably 90 to 110°C. Drying may also be performed under reduced pressure. The drying time is exemplified as 30 seconds to 20 minutes, preferably 1 to 10 minutes, and more preferably 2 to 7 minutes.
[0352] <Exposure Process> The above film may be subjected to an exposure process in which the film is selectively exposed. The method for manufacturing the cured product may include an exposure process in which the film formed by the film formation process is selectively exposed. Selective exposure means exposing a part of the film. By selective exposure, exposed areas (exposed parts) and unexposed areas (unexposed parts) are formed in the film. The amount of exposure is not particularly limited as long as the photocurable resin composition of the present invention can be cured, but for example, it may be 50 to 10,000 mJ / cm in terms of exposure energy at a wavelength of 365 nm. 2 Preferably, 200 to 8,000 mJ / cm² 2 This is preferable.
[0353] The exposure wavelength can be appropriately determined within the range of 190 to 1,000 nm, with 240 to 550 nm being preferred.
[0354] In relation to the light source, the exposure wavelength can be found in: (1) semiconductor lasers (wavelengths 830nm, 532nm, 488nm, 405nm, 375nm, 355nm, etc.), (2) metal halide lamps, (3) high-pressure mercury lamps, g-line (wavelength 436nm), h-line (wavelength 405nm), i-line (wavelength 365nm), broad (three wavelengths: g, h, i), (4) excimer lasers, KrF excimer laser (wavelength 248nm), ArF excimer laser (wavelength 193nm), F 2Examples of exposure methods include (5) excimer laser (wavelength 157 nm), (6) extreme ultraviolet light; EUV (wavelength 13.6 nm), (7) YAG laser with second harmonic 532 nm and third harmonic 355 nm. For the photocurable resin composition of the present invention, exposure with a high-pressure mercury lamp is particularly preferred, and exposure with the i-line is more preferred from the viewpoint of exposure sensitivity. The exposure method is not particularly limited, and any method in which at least a part of the film made of the photocurable resin composition of the present invention is exposed is acceptable, but examples include exposure using a photomask and exposure by laser direct imaging.
[0355] <Post-exposure heating step> The above film may be subjected to a heating step after exposure (post-exposure heating step). That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a post-exposure heating step in which the film exposed in the exposure step is heated. The post-exposure heating step can be performed after the exposure step and before the development step. The heating temperature in the post-exposure heating step is preferably 50°C to 140°C, and more preferably 60°C to 120°C. The heating time in the post-exposure heating step is preferably 30 seconds to 300 minutes, and more preferably 1 minute to 10 minutes. The heating rate in the post-exposure heating step is preferably 1 to 12°C / min from the temperature at the start of heating to the maximum heating temperature, more preferably 2 to 10°C / min, and even more preferably 3 to 10°C / min. The heating rate may also be changed as appropriate during heating. The heating means in the post-exposure heating step is not particularly limited, and known hot plates, ovens, infrared heaters, etc., can be used. Furthermore, it is preferable to carry out the heating process in a low-oxygen atmosphere by flowing inert gases such as nitrogen, helium, or argon through the system.
[0356] <Development Process> The film after exposure may be subjected to a development process in which a pattern is formed by developing it with a developer. That is, the method for manufacturing a cured product of the present invention may include a development process in which a pattern is formed by developing the film exposed in the exposure process with a developer. By developing, one of the exposed and unexposed parts of the film is removed, and a pattern is formed. Here, development in which the unexposed part of the film is removed by the development process is called negative development, and development in which the exposed part of the film is removed by the development process is called positive development.
[0357] [Developer] Developers used in the developing process include alkaline aqueous solutions or developers containing organic solvents.
[0358] When the developer is an alkaline aqueous solution, the basic compounds that the alkaline aqueous solution may contain include inorganic alkalis, primary amines, secondary amines, tertiary amines, and quaternary ammonium salts. Preferably, TMAH (tetramethylammonium hydroxide), potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, ammonia, ethylamine, n-propylamine, diethylamine, di-n-butylamine, triethylamine, methyldiethylamine, dimethylethanolamine, triethanolamine, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, tetrapropylammonium hydroxide, tetrabutylammonium hydroxide, tetrapentylammonium hydroxide, tetrahexylammonium hydroxide, tetraoctylammonium hydroxide, ethyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, butyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, methyltriamylammonium hydroxide, dibutyldipentylammonium hydroxide, dimethylbis(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium hydroxide, trimethylphenylammonium hydroxide, trimethylbenzylammonium hydroxide, triethylbenzylammonium hydroxide, pyrrole, and piperidine are preferred, and TMAH is more preferred. The content of basic compounds in the developer is preferably 0.01 to 10% by mass, more preferably 0.1 to 5% by mass, and even more preferably 0.3 to 3% by mass, based on the total mass of the developer.
[0359] If the developer contains an organic solvent, the organic solvent may be one of the compounds described in paragraph 0387 of International Publication No. 2021 / 112189. This is incorporated herein by reference. Suitable alcohols include methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, pentanol, octanol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, methyl isobutylcarbinol, triethylene glycol, etc., and suitable amides include N-methylpyrrolidone, N-ethylpyrrolidone, dimethylformamide, etc.

Alternatively, the above content may be 100% by mass.
[0362] The developing solution may further contain other components. Examples of other components include known surfactants and known defoamers.
[0363] [Method of supplying developer] There are no particular restrictions on the method of supplying the developer as long as a desired pattern can be formed. These include immersing a substrate on which a film has been formed in the developer, paddle development in which the developer is supplied to the film formed on the substrate using a nozzle, or a method of continuously supplying the developer. There are no particular restrictions on the type of nozzle, and examples include straight nozzles, shower nozzles, spray nozzles, etc. From the viewpoint of developer penetration, removal of non-image areas, and manufacturing efficiency, a method of supplying the developer with a straight nozzle or a method of continuously supplying it with a spray nozzle is preferred, and from the viewpoint of developer penetration into the image area, a method of supplying with a spray nozzle is more preferred. In addition, a step may be adopted in which the developer is continuously supplied with a straight nozzle, the substrate is spun to remove the developer from the substrate, and after spin drying, the developer is supplied again with a straight nozzle, and the substrate is spun to remove the developer from the substrate. This step may be repeated multiple times. Examples of methods of supplying the developer in the development process include a step in which the developer is continuously supplied to the substrate, a step in which the developer is kept in a nearly stationary state on the substrate, a step in which the developer is vibrated on the substrate with ultrasound, etc., and a step that combines these.
[0364] The development time is preferably 10 seconds to 10 minutes, and more preferably 20 seconds to 5 minutes. The temperature of the developer solution during development is not particularly specified, but is preferably 10 to 45°C, and more preferably 18 to 30°C.
[0365] In the developing process, after processing with the developer, the pattern may be further washed (rinsed) with a rinsing solution. Alternatively, methods such as supplying the rinsing solution before the developer in contact with the pattern dries completely may be employed.
[0366] [Rinsing Solution] If the developer is an alkaline aqueous solution, water can be used as the rinsing solution. If the developer contains an organic solvent, a solvent different from the solvent contained in the developer (for example, water, or an organic solvent different from the organic solvent contained in the developer) can be used as the rinsing solution.
[0367] When the rinsing solution contains an organic solvent, the organic solvent can be the same as the organic solvent exemplified above when the developer contains an organic solvent. Preferably, the organic solvent in the rinsing solution is different from the organic solvent in the developer, and more preferably, it is an organic solvent with lower pattern solubility than the organic solvent in the developer.
[0368] If the rinsing solution contains an organic solvent, one or more organic solvents may be used in mixture form. The organic solvents are preferably cyclopentanone, γ-butyrolactone, dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone, cyclohexanone, PGMEA, and PGME, more preferably cyclopentanone, γ-butyrolactone, dimethyl sulfoxide, PGMEA, and PGME, and even more preferably cyclohexanone and PGMEA.
[0369] When the rinsing solution contains an organic solvent, the amount of the organic solvent is preferably 50% by mass or more, more preferably 70% by mass or more, and even more preferably 90% by mass or more, relative to the total mass of the rinsing solution. Alternatively, the amount of the organic solvent may be 100% by mass, relative to the total mass of the rinsing solution.
[0370] The rinse solution may further contain other components. Examples of other components include known surfactants and known defoaming agents.
[0371] [Method of supplying rinsing solution] There are no particular restrictions on the method of supplying the rinsing solution as long as a desired pattern can be formed. These include immersing the substrate in the rinsing solution, supplying the rinsing solution to the substrate by pouring the solution, supplying the rinsing solution to the substrate with a shower, and continuously supplying the rinsing solution onto the substrate using means such as a straight nozzle. From the viewpoint of the penetration of the rinsing solution, the removal of non-image areas, and manufacturing efficiency, there are methods of supplying the rinsing solution with a shower nozzle, a straight nozzle, a spray nozzle, etc., and the method of continuous supply with a spray nozzle is preferred, and from the viewpoint of the penetration of the rinsing solution into the image area, the method of supplying with a spray nozzle is more preferred. There are no particular restrictions on the type of nozzle, and examples include straight nozzles, shower nozzles, spray nozzles, etc. That is, the rinsing process is preferably a process of supplying the rinsing solution to the film after exposure using a straight nozzle or continuously supplying it, and it is more preferable to supply the rinsing solution using a spray nozzle. Possible methods for supplying the rinsing solution in the rinsing process include a process in which the rinsing solution is continuously supplied to the substrate, a process in which the rinsing solution is kept in a nearly stationary state on the substrate, a process in which the rinsing solution is vibrated on the substrate using ultrasound or the like, and a process that combines these methods.
[0372] The rinsing time is preferably 10 seconds to 10 minutes, and more preferably 20 seconds to 5 minutes. The temperature of the rinsing solution during rinsing is not particularly specified, but is preferably 10 to 45°C, and more preferably 18 to 30°C.
[0373] <Heating Step> The pattern obtained by the developing step (or the pattern after rinsing, if a rinsing step is performed) may be subjected to a heating step in which the pattern obtained by the developing step is heated. That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a heating step in which the pattern obtained by the developing step is heated. Furthermore, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a heating step in which a pattern obtained by another method without performing a developing step, or a film obtained by a film formation step is heated. In the heating step, resins such as polyimide precursors are cyclized to become resins such as polyimide. In addition, crosslinking of unreacted crosslinkable groups in specific resins or crosslinking agents other than specific resins also proceeds. The heating temperature (maximum heating temperature) in the heating step is preferably 50 to 450°C, more preferably 150 to 350°C, even more preferably 150 to 250°C, even more preferably 160 to 250°C, and particularly preferably 160 to 230°C.
[0374] The heating step is preferably a step in which the heating promotes the cyclization reaction of the polyimide precursor within the pattern by the action of bases generated from the base generating agent.
[0375] In the heating process, heating is preferably carried out at a heating rate of 1 to 12°C / minute from the initial heating temperature to the maximum heating temperature. More preferably, the heating rate is 2 to 10°C / minute, and even more preferably 3 to 10°C / minute. By setting the heating rate to 1°C / minute or more, it is possible to prevent excessive volatilization of acid or solvent while ensuring productivity, and by setting the heating rate to 12°C / minute or less, it is possible to alleviate residual stress in the cured product. In addition, in the case of an oven capable of rapid heating, it is preferable to carry out heating at a heating rate of 1 to 8°C / second from the initial heating temperature to the maximum heating temperature, more preferably 2 to 7°C / second, and even more preferably 3 to 6°C / second.
[0376] The starting temperature for heating is preferably 20°C to 150°C, more preferably 20°C to 130°C, and even more preferably 25°C to 120°C. The starting temperature for heating refers to the temperature at which the process of heating to the maximum heating temperature is initiated. For example, when the photocurable resin composition of the present invention is applied to a substrate and then dried, this is the temperature of the film (layer) after drying, and it is preferable to start the heating process from a temperature 30 to 200°C lower than the boiling point of the solvent contained in the photocurable resin composition.
[0377] The heating time (heating time at the maximum heating temperature) is preferably 5 to 360 minutes, more preferably 10 to 300 minutes, and even more preferably 15 to 240 minutes.
[0378] In particular, when forming a multilayer laminate, from the viewpoint of interlayer adhesion, the heating temperature is preferably 30°C or higher, more preferably 80°C or higher, even more preferably 100°C or higher, and especially preferably 120°C or higher. The upper limit of the above heating temperature is preferably 350°C or lower, more preferably 250°C or lower, and even more preferably 240°C or lower.
[0379] Heating may be carried out in stages. For example, the process may involve raising the temperature from 25°C to 120°C at a rate of 3°C / min, holding at 120°C for 60 minutes, raising the temperature from 120°C to 180°C at a rate of 2°C / min, and holding at 180°C for 120 minutes. It is also preferable to treat the film while irradiating it with ultraviolet light, as described in U.S. Patent No. 9,159,547. Such a pretreatment process can improve the properties of the film. The pretreatment process is preferably carried out for a short time of about 10 seconds to 2 hours, and more preferably for 15 seconds to 30 minutes. The pretreatment process may consist of two or more steps; for example, the first pretreatment step may be carried out in the range of 100 to 150°C, followed by the second pretreatment step in the range of 150 to 200°C. Furthermore, the film may be cooled after heating, and in this case, the cooling rate is preferably 1 to 5°C / min.
[0380] The heating process is preferably carried out in a low-oxygen atmosphere, such as by flowing an inert gas like nitrogen, helium, or argon, or under reduced pressure, from the viewpoint of preventing the decomposition of specific resins. The oxygen concentration is preferably 50 ppm (by volume) or less, and more preferably 20 ppm (by volume) or less. The heating means in the heating process is not particularly limited, but examples include hot plates, infrared furnaces, electric ovens, hot air ovens, and infrared ovens.
[0381] <Post-development exposure step> The pattern obtained in the development step (or the pattern after rinsing, if a rinsing step is performed) may be subjected to a post-development exposure step in which the pattern after the development step is exposed, either in place of the heating step or in addition to the heating step. That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a post-development exposure step in which the pattern obtained in the development step is exposed. The method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a heating step and a post-development exposure step, or it may include only one of the heating step and the post-development exposure step. In the post-development exposure step, for example, reactions such as the cyclization of polyimide precursors etc. by photosensitivity of a photobase generator, or the elimination of acid-degradable groups by photosensitivity of a photoacid generator can be promoted. In the post-development exposure step, it is sufficient for at least a part of the pattern obtained in the development step to be exposed, but it is preferable for the entire pattern to be exposed. The amount of exposure in the post-development exposure step is 50 to 20,000 mJ / cm in terms of exposure energy at the wavelength to which the photosensitive compound is sensitive. 2 Preferably, 100 to 15,000 mJ / cm² 2 This is more preferable. The post-development exposure step can be performed, for example, using the light source in the exposure step described above, and it is preferable to use broadband light.
[0382] <Metal Layer Formation Process> The pattern obtained by the development process (preferably one that has been subjected to at least one of the heating process and the post-development exposure process) may be subjected to a metal layer formation process in which a metal layer is formed on the pattern. That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention preferably includes a metal layer formation process in which a metal layer is formed on the pattern obtained by the development process (preferably one that has been subjected to at least one of the heating process and the post-development exposure process).
[0383] The metal layer is not particularly limited, and existing metal species can be used, with examples including copper, aluminum, nickel, vanadium, titanium, chromium, cobalt, gold, tungsten, tin, silver, and alloys containing these metals, with copper and aluminum being more preferred, and copper being even more preferred.
[0384] The method for forming the metal layer is not particularly limited, and existing methods can be applied. For example, methods described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2007-157879, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2001-521288, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2004-214501, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2004-101850, U.S. Patent No. 7,888,181, and U.S. Patent No. 9,177,926 can be used. For example, photolithography, PVD (physical vapor deposition), CVD (chemical vapor deposition), lift-off, electroplating, electroless plating, etching, printing, and methods combining these can be considered. More specifically, patterning methods combining sputtering, photolithography and etching, and patterning methods combining photolithography and electroplating can be mentioned. Preferred embodiments of plating include electroplating using copper sulfate or copper cyanide plating solutions.
[0385] The thickness of the metal layer is preferably 0.01 to 50 μm at the thickest part, and more preferably 1 to 10 μm.

Other applications include sealing films, substrate materials (base films and coverlays for flexible printed circuit boards, interlayer insulating films), or etching to form patterns on insulating films for the above-mentioned mounting applications. For more information on these applications, please refer to, for example, Science & Technology Co., Ltd., "High-Functionality and Application Technologies of Polyimides," April 2008, supervised by Masaaki Kakimoto; CMC Technical Library, "Fundamentals and Development of Polyimide Materials," November 2011; and the Japan Polyimide and Aromatic Polymer Research Association, ed., "Latest Polyimide Fundamentals and Applications," NTS, August 2010.
[0387] The method for manufacturing the cured product of the present invention, or the cured product of the present invention, can also be used for manufacturing printing plates such as offset plates or screen printing plates, for etching molded parts, and for manufacturing protective lacquers and dielectric layers in electronics, particularly microelectronics.
[0388] (Laminate and Method for Manufacturing a Laminate) The laminate of the present invention refers to a structure having multiple layers made of the cured product of the present invention. The laminate is a laminate containing two or more layers made of the cured product, and may be a laminate with three or more layers. Of the two or more layers made of the cured product included in the above laminate, at least one is made of the cured product of the present invention, and from the viewpoint of suppressing shrinkage of the cured product or deformation of the cured product due to the above shrinkage, it is also preferable that all the layers made of the cured product included in the above laminate are made of the cured product of the present invention.
[0389] In other words, the method for manufacturing the laminate of the present invention preferably includes a method for manufacturing the cured product of the present invention, and more preferably includes repeating the method for manufacturing the cured product of the present invention multiple times.
[0390] The laminate of the present invention preferably comprises two or more layers made of cured material, with a metal layer preferably included between any of the layers made of cured material. The metal layer is preferably formed by the metal layer formation step described above. That is, the method for manufacturing the laminate of the present invention preferably further includes a metal layer formation step of forming a metal layer on a layer made of cured material, which is performed multiple times during the manufacturing process of the cured material. The preferred embodiment of the metal layer formation step is as described above. As the laminate, for example, a laminate is preferred that includes at least three layers in which a first layer made of cured material, a metal layer, and a second layer made of cured material are laminated in this order. It is preferable that both the first layer made of cured material and the second layer made of cured material are layers made of cured material of the present invention. The photocurable resin composition of the present invention used to form the first layer made of cured material and the photocurable resin composition of the present invention used to form the second layer made of cured material may have the same composition or may have different compositions. The metal layer in the laminate of the present invention is preferably used as metal wiring such as a rewiring layer.
[0391] <Lamination Process> The method for manufacturing a laminate of the present invention preferably includes a lamination process. The lamination process is a series of steps that include performing, in this order, at least one of the following on the surface of a pattern (resin layer) or metal layer: (a) film formation process (layer formation process), (b) exposure process, (c) development process, (d) heating process, and post-development exposure process. However, the method may also involve repeating at least one of the following: (a) film formation process and (d) heating process and post-development exposure process. Furthermore, at least one of the following: (d) heating process and post-development exposure process may be followed by (e) metal layer formation process. Needless to say, the lamination process may further include the above-mentioned drying process and the like as appropriate.
[0392] If further lamination is performed after the lamination process, a surface activation treatment step may be performed after the exposure step, the heating step, or the metal layer formation step. Plasma treatment is an example of a surface activation treatment. Details of the surface activation treatment will be described later.
[0393] The above lamination process is preferably performed 2 to 20 times, and more preferably 2 to 9 times. For example, a configuration with 2 to 20 resin layers, such as resin layer / metal layer / resin layer / metal layer / resin layer / metal layer, is preferred, and a configuration with 2 to 9 resin layers is even more preferred. Each of the above layers may have the same composition, shape, film thickness, etc., or they may be different.
[0394] In the present invention, it is particularly preferable to form a cured product (resin layer) of the photocurable resin composition of the present invention so as to cover the metal layer after providing the metal layer. Specifically, examples include repeating the steps in the order of (a) film formation, (b) exposure, (c) development, (d) heating and post-development exposure, and (e) metal layer formation, or repeating the steps in the order of (a) film formation, (d) heating and post-development exposure, and (e) metal layer formation. By alternately performing the lamination step of stacking the photocurable resin composition layer (resin layer) of the present invention and the metal layer formation step, the photocurable resin composition layer (resin layer) and the metal layer of the present invention can be alternately stacked.
[0395] (Surface Activation Treatment Step) The manufacturing method of the laminate of the present invention preferably includes a surface activation treatment step in which at least a portion of the metal layer and the photocurable resin composition layer is surface activated. The surface activation treatment step is usually performed after the metal layer formation step, but after the development step (preferably after at least one of the heating step and the post-development exposure step), the surface activation treatment step may be performed on the photocurable resin composition layer before the metal layer formation step. The surface activation treatment may be performed only on at least a portion of the metal layer, or only on at least a portion of the photocurable resin composition layer after exposure, or on at least a portion of both the metal layer and the photocurable resin composition layer after exposure. It is preferable to perform the surface activation treatment on at least a portion of the metal layer, and it is preferable to perform the surface activation treatment on a portion or all of the area on the surface of the metal layer where the photocurable resin composition layer is formed. By performing the surface activation treatment on the surface of the metal layer in this way, the adhesion with the photocurable resin composition layer (film) provided on its surface can be improved. It is also preferable to perform the surface activation treatment on a portion or all of the photocurable resin composition layer (resin layer) after exposure. Thus, by performing a surface activation treatment on the surface of a photocurable resin composition layer, the adhesion between the surface-activated layer and metal or resin layers provided on the surface-activated layer can be improved. In particular, when the photocurable resin composition layer is cured, such as when performing negative type development, it is less susceptible to damage from the surface treatment and adhesion is easily improved. The surface activation treatment can be carried out, for example, by the method described in paragraph 0415 of International Publication No. 2021 / 112189. This content is incorporated herein by reference.

In formula (A-1), Ar represents an aromatic ring structure, or a structure in which two or more aromatic ring structures are linked by a linking group, and R 1 is a monovalent organic group or halogen atom, n1 is an integer from 1 to 4, and all n1 structures are bonded to the aromatic ring structure of Ar by a single bond without a linking group, m1 is an integer from 0 to 4, X is a countercation containing a positively charged nitrogen atom, nx1 is an integer of 1 or more, and if X is an a-valent cation, then (a × nx1) is the same number as n1, and if X is a quaternary alkylammonium cation, then m1 is 1 to 4, or n1 is 2 or more, or Ar is a substituted phenyl group or an aromatic ring structure other than a phenyl group.
[0398] The base-generating agent of the present invention exhibits basicity when a cation containing a nitrogen atom represented by X becomes electrically neutral due to external stimuli such as heat or light. Although the decomposition mechanism is not clear, it is presumed that a one-electron reduction from the glyoxylate anion to the countercation X, followed by decarboxylation of the glyoxyl radical, generates an acyl radical, and the acyl radical captures a hydrogen radical, leading to the release of the base through the electrically neutralization of X. In the case of heat, basicity is preferably exhibited at 80 to 250°C, more preferably at 100 to 220°C, even more preferably at 120 to 200°C, and most preferably at 140 to 180°C.

The wavelength is preferably 270-450 nm, more preferably 310-410 nm, and more preferably 330-380 nm. To promote photodegradation, the above-mentioned sensitizers and sensitizing aids (amines, etc.) can also be used in combination. For base generation, thermal decomposition and photodegradation may be performed individually or in combination, with photodegradation being more preferred. When generating bases by photodegradation, the base generating agent of the present invention functions as a photobase generating agent.
