[0011] The present invention will be described in detail below. In this specification, "~" is used to mean that the numerical values before and after it are included as the lower and upper limits. In the notation of groups (atomic groups) in this specification, notations that do not specify substituted or unsubstituted include both groups (atomic groups) with substituents and groups (atomic groups) without substituents. For example, "alkyl group" includes not only alkyl groups without substituents (unsubstituted alkyl groups) but also alkyl groups with substituents (substituted alkyl groups). In this specification, unless otherwise specified, "exposure" includes not only exposure using light but also drawing using particle beams such as electron beams and ion beams. In addition, examples of light used for exposure include the emission line spectrum of mercury lamps, far ultraviolet light represented by excimer lasers, extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light, X-rays, electron beams, and other active light or radiation. In this specification, "(meth)acrylate" refers to both acrylate and methacrylate, or either of them; "(meth)acrylic" refers to both acrylic and methacrylic, or either of them; and "(meth)acryloyl" refers to both acryloyl and methacryloyl, or either of them. In this specification, Me in structural formulas represents a methyl group, Et represents an ethyl group, Bu represents a butyl group, and Ph represents a phenyl group. In this specification, weight-average molecular weight and number-average molecular weight are polystyrene equivalent values measured by GPC (gel permeation chromatography). In this specification, total solids refer to the total mass of components of a composition excluding the solvent. In this specification, pigment refers to a colorant that is poorly soluble in solvents. In this specification, the term "process" includes not only independent processes, but also processes that cannot be clearly distinguished from other processes, as long as the intended function of that process is achieved.
[0012] <Photocurable Composition> The photocurable composition of the present invention is a photocurable composition comprising a polymerizable monomer and a photopolymerization initiator, wherein the polymerizable monomer comprises polymerizable monomer a having an amino group, a ring structure and 1 to 4 ethylenically unsaturated bond-containing groups.
[0013] The photocurable composition of the present invention can form a film with excellent sensitivity and excellent adhesion to a support. The reason for obtaining such effects is presumed to be as follows: In radical polymerization, polymerization is inhibited by oxygen (oxygen inhibition). Since oxygen is in a triplet state in the ground state, it is highly reactive with radicals and readily reacts with radical active species to form a hydroxyperoxy radical. This hydroxyperoxy radical has poor reactivity with polymerizable groups such as (meth)acryloyl groups, thus inhibiting the progress of the polymerization reaction. The polymerizable monomer a used in the present invention has an amino group, so it is presumed that hydrogen is easily abstracted away to generate a carbon radical. Therefore, it is presumed that polymerization is initiated by the newly generated carbon radical, which is created when the generated hydroxyperoxy radical abstracts hydrogen from the polymerizable monomer a. It is also presumed that the generated carbon radical can capture oxygen and reduce the oxygen concentration. Furthermore, generally, increasing the number of ethylenically unsaturated bond-containing groups in the polymerizable monomer is a method used to improve sensitivity. However, if the number of ethylenically unsaturated bond-containing groups in the polymerizable monomer is large, unreacted ethylenically unsaturated bond-containing groups are likely to be generated, and unreacted polymerizable monomers tend to remain in the film. If unreacted polymerizable monomers are present in the film, resistance to the developer deteriorates, the film in the exposed area is easily removed by the developer during development, and the resulting film tends not to adhere sufficiently to the support. The polymerizable monomer a used in the present invention is a compound having 1 to 4 ethylenically unsaturated bond-containing groups, so unreacted polymerizable monomers are less likely to remain in the film after exposure. In addition, since the polymerizable monomer a has a cyclic structure, it is presumed that pseudo-crosslinking between polymerizable monomers a can be formed through the interaction of their cyclic structures. For this reason, it is presumed that it has excellent resistance to the developer and can suppress the removal of the film in the exposed area during development. These mechanisms are presumed to enable the photocurable composition of the present invention to form a film that exhibits high sensitivity and excellent adhesion to a support.
[0014] Furthermore, by using the photocurable composition of the present invention, the occurrence of pixel undercut during development can be more effectively suppressed. The reason for this effect is presumed to be as follows: As described above, the photocurable composition of the present invention has excellent sensitivity, so exposure allows sufficient polymerization reactions to proceed even at the bottom of the film (support side). Also, since the polymerizable monomer a is a compound having a ring structure and 1 to 4 ethylenically unsaturated bond-containing groups, as described above, it is presumed that unreacted polymerizable monomers are less likely to remain in the film after exposure, and that pseudo-crosslinking can be formed between polymerizable monomers a. It is presumed that the resistance of the bottom of the film to the developer in the exposed area can be increased. For these reasons, it is presumed that the occurrence of pixel undercut during development can be more effectively suppressed.

(Chemical Daily, November 13, 2015).

These compounds are sometimes used as solvents when manufacturing components used in photocurable compositions, and may be mixed into the photocurable composition as residual solvents. From the standpoint of human safety and environmental considerations, it is preferable to reduce these substances as much as possible. One method for reducing environmentally regulated substances is to heat or reduce the pressure in the system to above the boiling point of the environmentally regulated substance and then distill off the environmentally regulated substance from the system. Furthermore, when removing small amounts of environmentally regulated substances by distillation, it is useful to azeotrope with a solvent having a boiling point equivalent to that of the solvent in question in order to increase efficiency. In addition, if the mixture contains compounds that exhibit radical polymerization, polymerization inhibitors may be added during reduced-pressure distillation to suppress the progression of radical polymerization reactions and the resulting crosslinking between molecules. These distillation methods can be implemented at any stage, including the raw material stage, the product stage (e.g., the polymerized resin solution or polyfunctional monomer solution), or the stage of the photocurable composition prepared by mixing these compounds.

Furthermore, in the grinding of pigments using a sand mill (bead mill), it is preferable to process the material under conditions that enhance grinding efficiency, such as by using small-diameter beads or increasing the bead packing density. It is also preferable to remove coarse particles after the grinding process by filtration or centrifugation. Furthermore, the processes and dispersers for dispersing the pigments can suitably be those described in "Complete Collection of Dispersion Technologies, published by Joho Kiko Co., Ltd., July 15, 2005," "Comprehensive Data Collection on Dispersion Technologies and Industrial Applications Focusing on Suspensions (Solid / Liquid Dispersion Systems), published by Keiei Kaihatsu Center Publishing Department, October 10, 1978," and paragraph 0022 of Japanese Patent Publication No. 2015-157893.

Examples of colored pixels include red pixels, green pixels, blue pixels, magenta pixels, cyan pixels, and yellow pixels.
[0283] <Method for Manufacturing Pixels> A method for manufacturing pixels using the photocurable composition of the present invention will now be described. The method for manufacturing pixels includes the steps of forming a composition layer on a support using the photocurable composition of the present invention, exposing the composition layer in a pattern, and developing and removing the unexposed parts of the composition layer. If necessary, a step of drying the composition layer (pre-bake step) and a step of heat-treating the developed pattern (pixel) (post-bake step) may be provided.
[0284] In the step of forming the composition layer, the photocurable composition of the present invention is used to form the composition layer on a support. The support is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected depending on the application. Examples include glass substrates and silicon substrates, with silicon substrates being preferred. A charge-coupled device (CCD), complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS), transparent conductive film, etc., may be formed on the silicon substrate. A black matrix that isolates each pixel may also be formed on the silicon substrate. Furthermore, a base layer may be provided on the silicon substrate to improve adhesion with the upper layer, prevent diffusion of substances, or flatten the substrate surface. The surface contact angle of the base layer is preferably 20 to 70° when measured with diiodomethane. It is also preferably 30 to 80° when measured with water.
[0285] Known methods can be used for coating the photocurable composition. For example, drop casting; slit coating; spray coating; roll coating; spin coating; casting; slit and spin coating; pre-wetting (for example, the method described in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2009-145395); various printing methods such as inkjet (for example, on-demand, piezo, and thermal), nozzle jet printing, flexographic printing, screen printing, gravure printing, reverse offset printing, and metal mask printing; transfer methods using molds, etc.; and nanoimprint methods. In addition, the coating method described in paragraph 0207 of International Publication No. 2022 / 085485 can also be used.
[0286] The composition layer formed on the support may be dried (pre-baked). Pre-baking is not necessary when manufacturing the film by a low-temperature process. If pre-baking is performed, the pre-baking temperature is preferably 150°C or lower, more preferably 120°C or lower, and even more preferably 110°C or lower. The lower limit can be, for example, 50°C or higher, and also 80°C or higher. The pre-baking time is preferably 10 to 300 seconds, more preferably 40 to 250 seconds, and even more preferably 80 to 220 seconds. Pre-baking can be performed using a hot plate, oven, etc.
[0287] Next, the composition layer is exposed in a pattern (exposure step). For example, the composition layer can be exposed in a pattern by using a stepper exposure machine or a scanner exposure machine to expose it through a mask having a predetermined mask pattern. This allows the exposed areas to be cured.
[0288] Examples of radiation (light) that can be used for exposure include g-rays and i-rays. Light with a wavelength of 150 to 300 nm can also be used. Examples of light with a wavelength of 150 to 300 nm include KrF rays (wavelength 248 nm) and ArF rays (wavelength 193 nm), with KrF rays (wavelength 248 nm) being preferred. The light with a wavelength of 150 to 300 nm is preferably excimer laser light with a wavelength of 150 to 300 nm. In addition, long-wavelength light sources of 300 nm or more can also be used for exposure.
[0289] During exposure, the light may be irradiated continuously or pulsed (pulsed exposure). Pulsed exposure is an exposure method in which light irradiation and pauses are repeated in short cycles (for example, at the millisecond level or less).
[0290] The irradiation dose (exposure dose) is, for example, 0.03 to 2.5 J / cm². 2 Preferably, 0.05 to 1.0 J / cm 2 This is more preferable. The oxygen concentration during exposure can be appropriately selected. In addition to exposure in air, exposure may be carried out in a low-oxygen atmosphere with an oxygen concentration of 19 volume% or less (e.g., 15 volume%, 5 volume%, or substantially oxygen-free), or in a high-oxygen atmosphere with an oxygen concentration exceeding 21 volume% (e.g., 22 volume%, 30 volume%, or 50 volume%). Furthermore, the exposure intensity can be appropriately set, usually 1000 W / m². 2 ~100000W / m 2 (For example, 5000 W / m) 2 , 15000 W / m 2 , or 35,000 W / m 2 The oxygen concentration and exposure intensity can be combined as appropriate; for example, an oxygen concentration of 10% by volume and an illuminance of 10,000 W / m². 2At an oxygen concentration of 35% by volume, the illuminance is 20,000 W / m². 2 This can be done as follows.
[0291] Next, the unexposed areas of the composition layer are developed and removed to form a pattern (pixels). The unexposed areas of the composition layer can be developed and removed using a developer. This causes the unexposed areas of the composition layer in the exposure process to dissolve in the developer, leaving only the photocured parts. The temperature of the developer is preferably, for example, 20 to 30°C. The development time is preferably 20 to 180 seconds. In addition, to improve the ability to remove residue, the developer may be emptied every 60 seconds, and the process of supplying fresh developer may be repeated several times.

For the developing solution and the rinsing method after development, the developing solution and rinsing method described in paragraph 0214 of International Publication No. 2022 / 085485 may be used.
[0293] After development and drying, it is preferable to perform additional exposure or heat treatment (post-bake). Additional exposure and post-bake are curing treatments after development to ensure complete hardening. The heating temperature in post-bake is preferably 100 to 300°C, and more preferably 200 to 270°C. Post-bake can be performed continuously or in batches using heating means such as a hot plate, convection oven (hot air circulation dryer), or high-frequency heater to achieve the above conditions. When performing additional exposure, it is preferable that the light used for exposure has a wavelength of 400 nm or less. The additional exposure may also be performed by the method described in Korean Published Patent No. 10-2017-0122130.

By providing a protective layer, various functions such as oxygen barrier, low reflectivity, hydrophilicity, and shielding of light of specific wavelengths (ultraviolet rays, infrared rays, etc.) can be imparted. The thickness of the protective layer is preferably 0.01 to 10 μm, and more preferably 0.1 to 5 μm. Methods for forming the protective layer include applying a resin composition for forming the protective layer, chemical vapor deposition, and attaching molded resin with an adhesive.

Furthermore, in the case of a protective layer intended for low reflectivity, it is preferable that the protective layer contains (meth)acrylic resin and fluororesin.
[0296] When forming a protective layer by coating a resin composition, known methods such as spin coating, casting, screen printing, and inkjet printing can be used as the coating method for the resin composition. The organic solvent contained in the resin composition can be a known organic solvent (for example, propylene glycol 1-monomethyl ether 2-acetate, cyclopentanone, ethyl lactate, etc.). When forming the protective layer by chemical vapor deposition, known chemical vapor deposition methods (thermochemical vapor deposition, plasma chemical vapor deposition, photochemical vapor deposition) can be used.
[0297] The protective layer may contain additives such as organic and inorganic fine particles, light absorbers of specific wavelengths (e.g., ultraviolet, infrared, etc.), refractive index adjusters, antioxidants, adhesives, and surfactants, as needed.

[0301] The device has a substrate on which multiple photodiodes and transfer electrodes made of polysilicon or the like constitute the light-receiving area of a solid-state image sensor (such as a CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor or a CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) image sensor), a light-shielding film with an opening only for the light-receiving portion of the photodiode is placed on the photodiode and transfer electrodes, a device protection film made of silicon nitride or the like is formed on the light-shielding film to cover the entire surface of the light-shielding film and the light-receiving portion of the photodiode, and a color filter is placed on the device protection film. Furthermore, the device may have a configuration in which a light-gathering means (for example, a microlens; the same applies hereinafter) is placed on the device protection film and below the color filter (on the side closer to the substrate), or a configuration in which the light-gathering means is placed on the color filter. The color filter may also have a structure in which each colored pixel is embedded in a space partitioned by partitions, for example in a grid pattern. In this case, it is preferable that the partitions have a lower refractive index than each colored pixel.

[0332] <Evaluation> (Sensitivity evaluation) CT-4000L (manufactured by Fujifilm Electronic Materials Co., Ltd.) is applied to an 8-inch (20.32 cm) silicon wafer using a spin coater to a thickness of 0.1 μm after post-baking. The wafer is then heated on a hot plate at 220°C for 300 seconds to form a base coat layer, obtaining a silicon wafer (support) with a base coat layer. Next, a photocurable composition is applied by spin coating to a post-baking film thickness of 0.7 μm. Then, it is heated on a hot plate at 100°C for 2 minutes (pre-baking). Next, using an i-line stepper exposure system FPA-3000i5+ (manufactured by Canon Inc.), light with a wavelength of 365 nm is exposed at a specific exposure amount through a 0.8 μm square Bayer pattern mask. Finally, the exposed resin composition layer is developed using a developer (Act8, manufactured by Tokyo Electron). A 0.15% by mass aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) is used as the developer, and shower development is performed at 30°C for 60 seconds. Afterward, rinsing is performed with a spin shower using pure water, followed by spin drying, and then heating (post-bake) on a 200°C hot plate for 5 minutes to form a pattern (pixels). The silicon wafer with the formed pixels is divided, platinum deposition is performed, and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the cross-section of the pixels is obtained using a scanning electron microscope. While varying the specific exposure amount described above, the obtained pattern is observed, and the minimum exposure amount that resolves a square pattern with sides of 0.8 μm is determined. The sensitivity is then evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria: -Evaluation Criteria- A: The minimum exposure amount is 100 mJ / cm² 2 B: The minimum exposure dose was less than 100 mJ / cm². 2 More than 200mJ / cm 2 C: The minimum exposure dose was less than 200 mJ / cm². 2 More than 500mJ / cm 2 D: The minimum exposure dose was less than 500 mJ / cm². 2 More than 1000mJ / cm 2 E: The minimum exposure dose was less than 1000 mJ / cm². 2 That was all.
[0333] (Evaluation of Adhesion) A photocurable composition is applied to an 8-inch (20.32 cm) silicon wafer by spin coating so that the post-baking film thickness is 0.7 μm. Then, it is heated on a hot plate at 100°C for 2 minutes (pre-baking). Next, using an i-line stepper exposure system FPA-3000i5+ (manufactured by Canon Inc.), exposure is performed at 200 mJ / cm² through a mask having a Bayer pattern that forms a predetermined pixel (pattern) size. 2 Exposure is performed with the specified exposure amount. The mask used has a Bayer pattern formed by pixel patterns of 0.7 μm square, 0.8 μm square, 0.9 μm square, 1.0 μm square, 1.1 μm square, 1.2 μm square, 1.3 μm square, 1.4 μm square, 1.5 μm square, 1.7 μm square, 2.0 μm square, 3.0 μm square, 5.0 μm square, and 10.0 μm square. Next, paddle development is performed at 30°C for 60 seconds using a 0.3 mass% aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH). After that, rinsing is performed with pure water using a spin shower. Next, the pattern (pixels) is formed by heating (post-baking) at 200°C for 5 minutes using a hot plate. Using a high-resolution FEB measuring device (HITACHI CD-SEM) S9380II (manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Corporation), patterns of 0.7 μm square, 0.8 μm square, 0.9 μm square, 1.0 μm square, 1.1 μm square, 1.2 μm square, 1.3 μm square, 1.4 μm square, 1.5 μm square, 1.7 μm square, 2.0 μm square, 3.0 μm square, 5.0 μm square, and 10.0 μm square were observed, and the smallest pattern size (minimum contact line width) in which the pattern was formed without peeling was determined. The adhesion was then evaluated according to the following criteria. A smaller minimum contact line width indicates better adhesion. -Evaluation Criteria- A: Minimum contact line width is 1.2 μm square or less B: Minimum contact line width is greater than 1.2 μm square and 1.3 μm square or less C: Minimum contact line width is greater than 1.3 μm square and 1.4 μm square or less D: Minimum contact line width is greater than 1.4 μm square and 1.6 μm square or less E: Minimum contact line width is greater than 1.6 μm square
[0334] <Evaluation of Undercut Resistance> A photocurable composition is applied to an 8-inch (20.32 cm) silicon wafer by spin coating so that the post-baking film thickness is 1.5 μm. Then, it is heated on a hot plate at 110°C for 2 minutes (pre-baking). Next, exposure is performed using an i-line stepper exposure system FPA-3000i5+ (manufactured by Canon Inc.) through a mask having a 300 μm line and space pattern (exposure amount 500 mJ / cm²). 2 ) Next, development is performed using a developing device (Act-8 manufactured by Tokyo Electron). A 0.3% aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) is used as the developer, and shower development is performed at 23°C for 60 seconds. After that, rinsing is performed with a spin shower using pure water to obtain a 300 μm line and space pattern. The obtained pattern cross section is observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) (S-4800, manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Corporation) to measure the undercut width and is evaluated according to the following criteria. -Evaluation Criteria- A: Undercut width is less than 0.2 μm B: Undercut width is 0.2 μm or more and less than 0.5 μm C: Undercut width is 0.5 μm or more and less than 1.0 μm D: Undercut width is 1.0 μm or more and less than 1.5 μm E: Undercut width is 1.5 μm or more
