Description

Negative photosensitive resin composition, resin cured film, partition wall, and optical element
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a negative photosensitive resin composition, a resin cured film, a partition wall, and an optical element used for manufacturing an optical element such as an organic EL element, a quantum dot display, a TFT array, and a thin film solar cell, and more particularly, to an organic EL element, a quantum dot display, a TFT array, a thin film solar cell, and the like.
Background
In the production of optical elements such as organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) elements, quantum dot displays, tft (thin film transistor) arrays, and thin film solar cells, a method of pattern-printing an organic layer such as a light-emitting layer or an inorganic layer into dots by an Inkjet (IJ) method is sometimes used. In this method, a partition wall is provided along the outline of a dot to be formed, and ink containing a material of an organic layer or an inorganic layer is injected into a partition (hereinafter, also referred to as an "opening") surrounded by the partition wall, and dried and/or heated, thereby forming a dot of a desired pattern.
When pattern printing is performed by the Inkjet (IJ) method, the upper surface of the partition wall needs to have ink repellency in order to prevent mixing of ink between adjacent dots and to uniformly apply ink at the time of dot formation. On the other hand, the dot-forming openings surrounded by the partition walls including the side surfaces of the partition walls need to have ink affinity. Therefore, in order to obtain a partition wall having an ink-repellent property on the upper surface, a method of forming a partition wall corresponding to a pattern of dots by photolithography using a photosensitive resin composition containing an ink-repellent agent is known.
In recent years, in order to obtain a product with higher precision in such an optical element such as an organic EL element, for example, patent document 1 proposes a photosensitive resin composition capable of forming a coating film having excellent ink repellency and ink rolling property and further capable of forming a fine pattern. In patent document 1, the above-described effects are obtained by using a photosensitive resin composition of the following (1) or (2) as a photosensitive resin composition for forming partition walls, and containing a special fluororesin as an ink repellent, the photosensitive resin composition of the following (1) containing an acid generator and an acid curing agent, the acid curing agent being a compound having 2 or more reactive groups capable of crosslinking with an acid group, and the photosensitive resin composition of the following (2) containing a photo radical polymerization initiator and a radical crosslinking agent, the radical crosslinking agent being a compound having 2 or more ethylenic double bonds and having no acid group.
However, in the production of organic EL devices, quantum dot displays, TFT arrays, and thin-film solar cells, from the viewpoint of improving production efficiency, a photosensitive resin composition containing an ink-repellent agent, particularly a photosensitive resin composition classified as (2) in patent document 1, is required to have higher sensitivity. Therefore, in such a photosensitive resin composition, a high sensitivity can be achieved by increasing the amount of the radical initiator, and a partition wall having an ink-repellent property on the upper surface can be formed even with a low exposure amount, but there is a problem that the line width is easily increased and the pattern formability is deteriorated.
In addition, for example, patent document 2 proposes a photosensitive composition for an organic EL element, which contains a hydrophilic epoxy resin (a), a polyfunctional monomer (B), a cationically polymerizable compound (C), a hydrolyzable silane compound (D), a photo-radical polymerization initiator (E), and an acid generator (F), as a negative photosensitive resin composition having high sensitivity, high resolution, excellent adhesion between a cured product thereof and a substrate, and excellent elastic recovery properties, and capable of alkali development. However, the composition in patent document 2 is difficult to achieve high sensitivity, and is insufficient in liquid repellency.

The "side chain" is a group other than a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom bonded to a carbon atom constituting the main chain in a polymer in which the main chain is constituted by a repeating unit formed of carbon atoms.
The "total solid content of the photosensitive resin composition" refers to a component forming a cured film described later among components contained in the photosensitive resin composition, and can be determined from a residue obtained by heating the photosensitive resin composition at 140 ℃ for 24 hours to remove a solvent. The total solid content may be calculated from the charged amount.
A film formed of a cured product of a composition containing a resin as a main component is referred to as a "resin cured film". The film coated with the photosensitive resin composition is referred to as a "coating film", and the film obtained by drying the coating film is referred to as a "dried film". The film obtained by curing the "dried film" is a "resin cured film". The "resin cured film" may be simply referred to as a "cured film".
The resin cured film may be in the form of partition walls formed in a shape that divides a predetermined region into a plurality of sections. For example, the following "ink" is injected into the partition defined by the partition, that is, the opening surrounded by the partition, to form a "dot".

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
[ negative photosensitive resin composition ]
The negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is characterized by containing a photocurable alkali-soluble resin or alkali-soluble monomer (a), a photo radical polymerization initiator (B), a photoacid generator (C), an acid curing agent (D), and an ink repellent (E) having a fluorine atom. In the present specification, the acid curing agent (D) is a curing agent which reacts with an acidic group such as a carboxylic acid or a phenolic hydroxyl group in the presence of an acid. The negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can be suitably used for producing optical devices such as organic EL devices, quantum dot displays, TFT arrays, thin film solar cells, and color filters, and particularly, significant effects can be expected in organic EL devices, quantum dot displays, TFT arrays, and thin film solar cells.
In general, a negative photosensitive resin composition is cured by exposure to light to form a cured film. In this case, when the exposed portion and the unexposed portion having a predetermined shape are formed by masking or the like, the unexposed portion is not cured and can be selectively removed by an alkali developer. As a result, the cured film can be formed into a partition wall having a shape dividing the predetermined region into a plurality of sections.
The negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is a negative photosensitive resin composition in which an alkali-soluble resin or an alkali-soluble monomer (a) is polymerized and cured in the exposed portion by radicals generated from a photo radical polymerization initiator (B) to form a cured film. Here, the alkali-soluble resin or the alkali-soluble monomer (a) does not contain a fluorine atom. The ink-repellent agent (E) has a property of migrating to the upper surface during the formation of the cured film by having a fluorine atom (upper surface migration property), and the ink-repellent agent (E) migrating to the upper surface is fixed to the upper surface of the cured film.
Here, in the radical polymerization reaction using light, the surface of the cured film in contact with the atmosphere is more likely to be inhibited by the reaction due to oxygen. In the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention, the photoacid generator (C) generates an acid upon exposure, and the acid curing agent (D) reacts with an acid group of an alkali-soluble resin or a carboxylic acid of an alkali-soluble monomer (a) in the presence of the acid to cure. In addition, it is also considered that the acid curing agents (D) react with each other at this time to contribute to curing. Unlike radical polymerization, this curing reaction is not affected by oxygen. Therefore, the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can provide a cured film, particularly a cured film having improved curability of the alkali-soluble resin or the alkali-soluble monomer (a) and fixation of the ink repellent (E) on the upper surface of the cured film. Further, a cured film having curability equivalent to that of a conventional cured film, particularly curability of the upper surface, even with a low exposure amount was obtained.
As described above, in the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention, curing inside the cured film can be sufficiently performed by combining the radical polymerization reaction using light and the curing reaction in the presence of acid generated by light. Therefore, the cured portion as an exposed portion is resistant to corrosion and peeling by an alkali developing solution during development. Therefore, the exposed portion is less susceptible to long-term development, and therefore, is advantageous for removal of residues in the opening portion and the like.
The negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention further contains, as necessary, a compound (F) (hereinafter also referred to as "crosslinking agent (F)"), a thiol compound (G) (hereinafter also referred to as "thiol compound (G)"), a phosphoric acid compound (H), a polymerization inhibitor (I), a solvent (J), a colorant (K), and other optional components, wherein the compound (F) has 2 or more unsaturated double bonds in a molecule and does not have any one of an acidic group and a fluorine atom, and the thiol compound (G) has 3 or more mercapto groups in 1 molecule.
(alkali-soluble resin or alkali-soluble monomer (A))
The alkali-soluble resin symbol (AP) and the alkali-soluble monomer symbol (AM) will be described separately. In the following description, these may be collectively referred to as "alkali-soluble resin (a)".
The alkali-soluble resin (a) has photocurability. The alkali-soluble resin (a) does not have a fluorine atom. In the negative photosensitive resin composition, the radical polymerization initiator (B) generates radicals and the photoacid generator (C) generates an acid by exposure. At this time, the alkali-soluble resin (a) undergoes a polymerization reaction by itself by the radical, and is reacted with the acid curing agent (D) in the presence of the acid to crosslink, thereby being sufficiently cured. The alkali-soluble resins (a) do not react with each other due to an acid.
The exposed portion of the negative photosensitive resin composition is sufficiently cured as described above. The exposed portion thus sufficiently cured is not easily removed by the alkali developer. In addition, since the alkali-soluble resin (a) is alkali-soluble, the non-exposed portions of the uncured negative photosensitive resin composition can be selectively removed by an alkali developer. As a result, the cured film can be formed into a partition wall having a shape dividing the predetermined region into a plurality of sections.
As the alkali-soluble resin (AP), a photosensitive resin having an acidic group and an ethylenic double bond in 1 molecule is preferable. The alkali-soluble resin (AP) has an ethylenic double bond in the molecule, and is polymerized by the radicals generated by the photo-radical polymerization initiator (B). The alkali-soluble resin (AP) has an acidic group in the molecule, and reacts with the acid curing agent (D) in the presence of an acid generated by the photoacid generator (C). Further, having an acidic group makes the polymer alkali-soluble.
Examples of the acidic group include a carboxyl group, a phenolic hydroxyl group, a sulfo group, a phosphoric acid group and the like, and 1 kind of these groups may be used alone or 2 or more kinds may be used in combination.
Examples of the ethylenic double bond include double bonds having addition polymerizability such as (meth) acryloyl group, allyl group, vinyl group, vinyloxy group, and vinyloxyalkyl group. These may be used alone in 1 kind, or may be used in combination of 2 or more kinds. Some or all of the hydrogen atoms in the ethylenic double bond may be substituted with an alkyl group such as a methyl group.
Examples of the alkali-soluble resin (AP) having an ethylenic double bond include a resin (A-1) having a side chain having an acidic group and a side chain having an ethylenic double bond, and a resin (A-2) having an acidic group and an ethylenic double bond introduced into an epoxy resin. These may be used alone in 1 kind, or may be used in combination of 2 or more kinds.
As such an alkali-soluble resin (AP), those described in, for example, paragraphs [0108] and [0126] of International publication No. 2014/046209 (hereinafter, referred to as WO2014/046209) and paragraphs [0067] [0085] of International publication No. 2014/069478 (hereinafter, referred to as WO2014/069478) can be used.
The alkali-soluble resin (AP) is preferably the resin (a-2) in view of being able to obtain a pattern of dots with high resolution by suppressing peeling of the cured film during development, in view of being good in linearity of the pattern when the dots are linear, and in view of easily obtaining a smooth cured film surface. The good linearity of the pattern means that the obtained partition wall has no notch or the like at the edge and is linear.
As the resin (a-2), particularly preferred are resins in which an acidic group and an ethylenic double bond are introduced into epoxy resins such as bisphenol a type epoxy resin, bisphenol F type epoxy resin, phenol novolac type epoxy resin, cresol novolac type epoxy resin, trisphenol methane type epoxy resin, epoxy resin having a naphthalene skeleton, epoxy resin having a biphenyl skeleton, and fluorenyl-substituted bisphenol a type epoxy resin, respectively.
The number of ethylenic double bonds in 1 molecule of the alkali-soluble resin (AP) is preferably 3 or more on average, and particularly preferably 6 or more. When the number of ethylenic double bonds is not less than the lower limit of the above range, a difference in alkali solubility between the exposed portion and the unexposed portion is easily imparted, and a fine pattern can be formed with a smaller amount of exposure.
The mass-average molecular weight (Mw) of the alkali-soluble resin (AP) is preferably 1.5X 103~30×103Particularly preferably 2X 103~15×103. In addition, the number average molecular weight (Mn) is preferably 500 to 20X 103Particularly preferably 1.0X 103~10×103. When the mass average molecular weight (Mw) and the number average molecular weight (Mn) are not less than the lower limit of the above range, curing at the time of exposure is sufficient, and when they are not more than the upper limit of the above range, developability is good.
In the present specification, the number average molecular weight (Mn) and the mass average molecular weight (Mw) are values measured by gel permeation chromatography using polystyrene as a standard substance unless otherwise specified.
The acid value of the alkali-soluble resin (AP) is preferably 10 to 300mgKOH/g, and particularly preferably 30 to 150 mgKOH/g. When the acid value is within the above range, the negative photosensitive composition can be developed satisfactorily.
As the alkali-soluble monomer (AM), for example, a monomer (A-3) having an acidic group and an ethylenic double bond is preferably used. The acidic group and ethylenic double bond are the same as those of the alkali-soluble resin (AP). The acid value of the alkali-soluble monomer (AM) is also preferably in the same range as that of the alkali-soluble resin (AP).
Examples of the monomer (A-3) include 2,2, 2-triacryloxymethylethylphthalic acid and the like.
The alkali-soluble resin or the alkali-soluble monomer (a) contained in the negative photosensitive resin composition may be used alone in 1 kind, or may be used in combination in 2 or more kinds.
The content of the alkali-soluble resin or the alkali-soluble monomer (a) in the total solid content of the negative photosensitive resin composition is preferably 5 to 80% by mass, and particularly preferably 10 to 60% by mass. When the content ratio is within the above range, the negative photosensitive resin composition is excellent in photocurability and developability.
(photo radical polymerization initiator (B))
The photo radical polymerization initiator (B) of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a compound having a function of a photo radical polymerization initiator generating radicals by active light. Hereinafter, the photo radical polymerization initiator (B) is also simply referred to as "photopolymerization initiator (B)".
Examples of the photopolymerization initiator (B) include the photopolymerization initiators described in, for example, paragraphs [0130] and [0131] of WO2014/046209 and paragraphs [0089] [0090] of WO 2014/069478.
Of the photopolymerization initiators (B), benzophenones, aminobenzoic acids, and aliphatic amines are preferably used together with other radical initiators in some cases because they exhibit a sensitizing effect. The photopolymerization initiator (B) may be used alone in 1 kind, or may be used in combination in 2 or more kinds.
The content of the photopolymerization initiator (B) in the total solid content of the negative photosensitive resin composition is preferably 0.1 to 50% by mass, more preferably 0.5 to 30% by mass, and particularly preferably 1 to 15% by mass. When the content ratio is within the above range, the negative photosensitive resin composition is excellent in photocurability and developability.
(acid Generator (C))
The photoacid generator (C) is not particularly limited as long as it is a compound that decomposes to generate an acid upon irradiation with active light. In general, any compound can be selected from compounds used as photoacid generators in photosensitive resin compositions using cation-polymerizable alkali-soluble resins. Hereinafter, the photoacid generator (C) is also simply referred to as "acid generator (C)".
As described above, in the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention, the acid generated from the acid generator (C) participates in the binding of the alkali-soluble resin (a) and the acid curing agent (D) described below.
The acid generator (C) is decomposed by irradiation with active light to generate an acid. Specific examples of the active rays include high-energy rays such as ultraviolet light, X-rays, and electron beams. When the negative photosensitive resin composition is used for producing the partition wall for an optical element, i-ray (365nm), h-ray (405nm) and g-ray (436nm) are preferably used for exposure. As the acid generator (C), it is preferable to select an acid generator (C) having a large absorbance at the wavelength of light used for exposure. An acid generator having absorption at 350 to 450nm is preferable, and particularly an acid generator having absorption for at least 1 of i-ray (365nm), h-ray (405nm) and g-ray (436nm) is preferable because of high curability.

Among them, melamine-based compounds, urea-based compounds, and epoxy-based compounds are preferable as the acid curing agent (D). The acid curing agent (D) may be composed of 1 or more of the above compounds. The content of the acid curing agent (D) in the negative photosensitive resin composition is preferably 0.1 to 100 parts by mass, more preferably 1 to 50 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 5 to 20 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass of the alkali-soluble resin (a). When the content of the acid curing agent (D) is in the above range, a partition wall having a sufficient ink repellency on the upper surface and capable of forming a fine and highly precise pattern can be obtained. In particular, if the content of the acid curing agent (D) is in the range of 5 to 20 parts by mass, the negative photosensitive resin composition has good storage stability, and a partition wall having excellent linearity of a pattern can be obtained from the composition.
(ink-repellent agent (E))
The ink repellent (E) of the present invention has a fluorine atom in the molecule. Thus, the ink repellent (E) has a property of migrating to the upper surface (upper surface migration property) and an ink repellency in the process of forming a cured film using the negative photosensitive resin composition containing the same. By using the ink repellent (E), the upper layer portion including the upper surface of the obtained cured film becomes a layer in which the ink repellent (E) is densely present (hereinafter, also referred to as "ink repellent layer"), and the ink repellency is imparted to the upper surface of the cured film.
The fluorine atom content in the ink repellent (E) is preferably 1 to 40% by mass, more preferably 5 to 35% by mass, and particularly preferably 10 to 32% by mass. When the fluorine atom content of the ink repellent (E) is not less than the lower limit of the above range, good ink repellency can be imparted to the upper surface of the cured film, and when it is not more than the upper limit, compatibility with other components in the negative photosensitive resin composition becomes good.
In the ink-repellent layer, the ink-repellent agent (E) is present in a form of being embedded in a cured resin obtained by polymerization or crosslinking reaction of a photocurable component such as the alkali-soluble resin (a) or the acid curing agent (D) in the negative photosensitive resin composition, when the ink-repellent agent (E) itself is non-reactive. In general, when radical polymerization of ethylenic double bonds is performed, the surface of the cured film or partition wall in contact with the atmosphere is more likely to be inhibited by reaction due to oxygen. Since the ink-repellent layer is in contact with the atmosphere, radical polymerization during photocuring of the alkali-soluble resin (a) is likely to be inhibited in the ink-repellent layer portion. However, the reaction between the alkali-soluble resin (a) and the acid curing agent (D) in the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is hardly inhibited by the reaction due to oxygen, and proceeds sufficiently even in the ink-repellent layer portion. This ensures sufficient fixing of the ink repellent (E) in the ink repellent layer.
That is, in order to improve the fixing property of the ink repellent (E) in the ink repellent layer, it is important to sufficiently progress the curing reaction of the alkali-soluble resin (a) and the acid curing agent (D). For this reason, it is particularly advantageous to use, as the acid generator (C), an acid generator (C) having high curability which generates an acid by an active light having a relatively long wavelength (350 to 450nm) during curing at a low exposure.
In addition, from the viewpoint of improving the fixing property of the ink repellent (E) to the ink repellent layer, the ink repellent (E) is preferably a compound having an ethylenic double bond. Since the ink-repellent agent (E) has an ethylenic double bond, radicals act on the ethylenic double bond of the ink-repellent agent (E) transferred to the upper surface, and the ink-repellent agents (E) or the ink-repellent agent (E) and other components having an ethylenic double bond contained in the negative photosensitive resin composition can be crosslinked by (co) polymerization. The reaction can be promoted by the thiol compound (G) (described later) optionally contained.
Thus, in the production of a cured film obtained by curing the negative photosensitive resin composition, the fixing property of the ink repellent (E) to the upper layer portion of the cured film, that is, the ink repellent layer can be improved. In particular, when the thiol compound (G) is contained in the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention, the ink-repellent agent (E) can be sufficiently fixed to the ink-repellent layer even when the exposure amount at the time of exposure is low.
As described above, in general, the surface of the cured film or partition wall in contact with the atmosphere is more easily inhibited by oxygen when the ethylenic double bond is radically polymerized, but the radical reaction by the thiol compound (G) is hardly inhibited by oxygen, and therefore, it is particularly advantageous for fixing the ink repellent (E) with a low exposure amount. Further, in the production of the partition wall, the ink-repellent agent (E) can be sufficiently prevented from coming off the ink-repellent layer or peeling off the upper surface of the ink-repellent layer during development.
Examples of the ink repellent (E) include a partial hydrolysis condensate of a hydrolyzable silane compound. The hydrolyzable silane compound may be used alone in 1 kind, or may be used in combination in 2 or more kinds. Specific examples of the ink-repellent agent (E) containing a fluorine atom and composed of a partially hydrolyzed condensate of a hydrolyzable silane compound include the following ink-repellent agents (E1). As the ink repellent (E) having a fluorine atom, an ink repellent (E2) comprising a compound having a hydrocarbon chain as a main chain and a fluorine atom as a side chain can be used.
The ink-repellent agent (E1) and the ink-repellent agent (E2) may be used alone or in combination. In the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention, the ink repellent (E1) is particularly preferably used in view of excellent ultraviolet/ozone resistance.

In this reaction, inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and phosphoric acid, or organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid and maleic acid, which are generally used, are preferably used as a catalyst. Further, an alkali catalyst such as sodium hydroxide or tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) may be used as necessary.
The reaction can be carried out using a known solvent.
The ink repellent (E1) obtained by the above reaction can be blended in the negative photosensitive resin composition together with a solvent in the form of a solution.

The mass-average molecular weight (Mw) of the ink repellent (E2) is preferably 100 to 1000000, and particularly preferably 5000 to 100000. When the mass average molecular weight (Mw) is not less than the lower limit, the ink repellent (E2) is likely to migrate to the upper surface when a cured film is formed using the negative photosensitive resin composition. If the amount is less than the upper limit, the opening residue is preferably reduced.
Specific examples of the ink-repellent agent (E2) include those described in [0079] to [0102] of WO2014/046209 and those described in [0144] to [0171] of WO 2014/069478.
The content of the ink repellent (E) in the total solid content of the negative photosensitive resin composition is preferably 0.01 to 15% by mass, more preferably 0.01 to 5% by mass, and particularly preferably 0.03 to 1.5% by mass. When the content ratio is not less than the lower limit of the above range, the upper surface of the cured film formed from the negative photosensitive resin composition has excellent ink repellency. When the upper limit value of the above range is less than or equal to the upper limit value, the adhesion between the cured film and the substrate is good.
(crosslinking agent (F))
The crosslinking agent (F) optionally contained in the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is a compound having 2 or more unsaturated double bonds, that is, ethylenic double bonds in 1 molecule and having neither an acid group nor a fluorine atom. When the negative photosensitive resin composition contains the crosslinking agent (F), the curability of the negative photosensitive resin composition at the time of exposure is improved, and a cured film can be formed even with a low exposure amount.

(thiol Compound (G))
The thiol compound (G) optionally contained in the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is a compound having 2 or more mercapto groups in 1 molecule. When the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains the thiol compound (G), a so-called ene-thiol reaction occurs in which radicals generated from the photopolymerization initiator (B) at the time of exposure generate radicals of the thiol compound (G) and act on ethylenic double bonds of the alkali-soluble resin (a). Unlike the radical polymerization of general ethylenic double bonds, this ene-thiol reaction is not inhibited by reaction due to oxygen, and therefore has advantages such as high chain transferability, and further, crosslinking proceeds simultaneously with polymerization, and therefore, the shrinkage rate when a cured product is obtained is also low, and a uniform network structure is easily obtained.
When the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains the thiol compound (G), it can be sufficiently cured even with a low exposure amount as described above, and particularly, it can be sufficiently photocured in the upper layer portion including the upper surface of the partition wall which is easily inhibited from reaction by oxygen, and therefore, it is possible to impart good ink repellency to the upper surface of the partition wall.
The thiol compound (G) preferably contains 2 to 10 mercapto groups, more preferably 3 to 8 mercapto groups, and still more preferably 3 to 5 mercapto groups in 1 molecule.
The molecular weight of the thiol compound (G) is not particularly limited.

Specific examples of the thiol compound (G) include tris (2-mercaptopropionyloxyethyl) isocyanurate, pentaerythritol tetrakis (3-mercaptobutyrate), trimethylolpropane trimercaptoacetate, pentaerythritol tetramercaptoacetate, dipentaerythritol hexamercaptoacetate, trimethylolpropane tris (3-mercaptopropionate), pentaerythritol tetrakis (3-mercaptopropionate), tris- [ (3-mercaptopropionyloxy) -ethyl ] -isocyanurate, dipentaerythritol hexa (3-mercaptopropionate), trimethylolpropane tris (3-mercaptobutyrate), pentaerythritol tetrakis (3-mercaptobutyrate), dipentaerythritol hexa (3-mercaptobutyrate), trimethylolpropane tris (2-mercaptoisobutyrate), 1,3, 5-tris (3-mercaptobutyryloxyethyl) -1, 3, 5-triazine-2, 4,6(1H,3H,5H) -trione, trisphenolmethanetris (3-mercaptopropionate), trisphenolmethanetris (3-mercaptobutyrate), trimethylolethanetris (3-mercaptobutyrate), 2,4, 6-trimercapto-s-triazine, 1, 4-bis (3-mercaptobutyryloxy) butane, and the like.
The thiol compound (G) may be used alone in 1 kind, or may be used in combination in 2 or more kinds.
When the negative photosensitive resin composition contains the thiol compound (G), the content thereof is preferably 0.0001 to 1 mol, more preferably 0.0005 to 0.5 mol, and particularly preferably 0.001 to 0.5 mol, based on 1 mol of the mercapto group of the ethylenic double bond in the total solid content in the negative photosensitive resin composition. When the content ratio is within the above range, the negative photosensitive resin composition has good photocurability and developability even with a low exposure amount.
The thiol compound (G) is very effective for fixing the ink repellent (E) at a low exposure amount in the ink repellent layer, but the carboxylic acid derived from (a) tends to be less likely to be consumed by the reaction and less effective for improving the pattern formability than the acid generator (C) and the acid curing agent (D) which have the same fixing effect of the ink repellent (E) at a low exposure amount. Therefore, even when the negative photosensitive resin composition contains the thiol compound (G), the acid generator (C) and the acid curing agent (D) are preferably contained in the above-mentioned predetermined amounts.
(phosphoric acid Compound (H))
The negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention may optionally contain a phosphoric acid compound (H) in order to improve the adhesion of the obtained cured film to a substrate, a transparent electrode material such as ITO, or the like.
The phosphoric acid compound (H) is not particularly limited as long as it can improve the adhesion of the cured film to a substrate, a transparent electrode material, or the like, and is preferably a phosphoric acid compound having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond in the molecule.
As the phosphoric acid compound having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond in the molecule, a phosphoric acid (meth) acrylate compound, that is, a compound having at least an O ═ P structure derived from phosphoric acid and a (meth) acryloyl group as an ethylenically unsaturated double bond derived from a (meth) acrylic compound in the molecule, and a phosphoric acid vinyl compound are preferable.

The negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention may contain 1 or 2 or more of the compounds classified as the phosphoric acid compound (H) alone.
When the negative photosensitive resin composition contains the phosphoric acid compound (H), the content thereof is preferably 0.01 to 10% by mass, and particularly preferably 0.1 to 5% by mass, based on the total solid content in the negative photosensitive resin composition. When the content ratio is within the above range, the obtained cured film has good adhesion to a substrate or the like.
(polymerization inhibitor (I))
The polymerization inhibitor (I) of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it has a function as a polymerization inhibitor, and a compound which generates a radical inhibiting the reaction of the alkali-soluble resin (a) is preferable. In the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention, polymerization is controlled by adjusting the amount of light irradiated during exposure using the polymerization inhibitor (I), and curing of the composition can be smoothly performed. This suppresses the progress of curing in the unexposed area, and contributes to the reduction of development residue in the opening. Further, a high-resolution dot pattern can be obtained, and the improvement of the linearity of the pattern is facilitated.
Specific examples of the polymerization inhibitor (I) include common polymerization inhibitors such as diphenylpicrylhydrazide, tris-p-nitrophenylmethyl group, p-benzoquinone, p-tert-butylcatechol, picric acid, copper chloride, methylhydroquinone, 4-methoxyphenol, tert-butylhydroquinone, 2-tert-butyl-1, 4-benzoquinone, and 2, 6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol.

The content of the polymerization inhibitor (I) in the total solid content of the negative photosensitive resin composition is preferably 0.001 to 20% by mass, more preferably 0.005 to 10% by mass, and particularly preferably 0.01 to 5% by mass. When the content ratio is within the above range, the development residue of the negative photosensitive resin composition is reduced, and the linearity of the pattern is good.
(solvent (J))
The negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains the solvent (J), and therefore, the viscosity is reduced, and the negative photosensitive resin composition can be easily applied to the surface of a substrate. As a result, a coating film of the negative photosensitive resin composition having a uniform film thickness can be formed.
As the solvent (J), a known solvent is used. The solvent (J) may be used alone in 1 kind, or may be used in combination of 2 or more kinds.
Examples of the solvent (J) include alkylene glycol alkyl ethers, alkylene glycol alkyl ether acetates, alcohols, solvent naphtha and the like. Among them, at least 1 solvent selected from alkylene glycol alkyl ethers, alkylene glycol alkyl ether acetates, and alcohols is preferable, and at least 1 solvent selected from propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol ethyl methyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, and 2-propanol is more preferable.
The content of the solvent (J) in the negative photosensitive resin composition is preferably 50 to 99% by mass, more preferably 60 to 95% by mass, and particularly preferably 65 to 90% by mass, based on the total amount of the composition.
(colorant (K))
The negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains a colorant (K) when it is necessary to impart light-shielding properties to a cured film, particularly a partition wall, according to the application. Examples of the colorant (K) of the present invention include carbon black, aniline black, anthraquinone black pigments, and perylene black pigments, and specifically include c.i. pigment black 1, 6, 7, 12, 20, and 31. Mixtures of organic and/or inorganic pigments such as red, blue and green pigments may also be used.
The colorant (K) may be used alone in 1 kind, or may be used in combination of 2 or more kinds. When the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains the colorant (K), the content of the colorant (K) in the total solid content is preferably 5 to 65% by mass, and particularly preferably 10 to 50% by mass. When the amount is within the above range, the obtained negative photosensitive resin composition has good sensitivity, and the barrier rib formed has excellent light-shielding properties.
(other Components)
The negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention may further contain 1 or 2 or more kinds of other additives such as a thermal crosslinking agent, a polymer dispersant, a dispersion aid, a silane coupling agent, fine particles, a curing accelerator, a thickener, a plasticizer, an antifoaming agent, a leveling agent, and a shrinkage preventing agent, as required.
The negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can be obtained by mixing predetermined amounts of the above components. The negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can be used for manufacturing optical devices such as organic EL devices, quantum dot displays, TFT arrays, thin film solar cells, and color filters. Specifically, the cured film and the partition wall are used for optical elements such as organic EL elements, quantum dot displays, TFT arrays, and thin film solar cells, and can exhibit particularly advantageous effects. By using the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention, a cured film, particularly a partition wall, having a good ink repellency on the upper surface can be produced. The ink-repellent agent (E) is substantially sufficiently fixed to the ink-repellent layer, and the ink-repellent agent (E) present at a low concentration on the partition walls in the lower portion of the ink-repellent layer is also sufficiently photo-cured on the partition walls, so that the ink-repellent agent (E) is less likely to migrate into the openings surrounded by the partition walls during development, and therefore, openings in which ink can be uniformly applied are obtained.
[ cured resin film and partition wall ]
The resin cured film according to the embodiment of the present invention is formed using the negative photosensitive resin composition according to the present invention. The resin cured film according to the embodiment of the present invention can be obtained, for example, by applying the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention to the surface of a substrate such as a substrate, drying the composition as needed to remove a solvent or the like, and then exposing the composition to light. The resin cured film according to the embodiment of the present invention exhibits a particularly significant effect when used in an optical device, particularly an organic EL device, a quantum dot display, a TFT array, and a thin film solar cell.
The partition wall of the present invention is a partition wall formed of the cured film of the present invention described above, which is formed in a shape dividing a substrate surface into a plurality of sections for forming dots. The partition wall can be obtained, for example, by masking a portion to be a partition for dot formation before exposure and developing the portion after exposure in the production of the resin cured film. By the development, the portions not exposed to light due to masking are removed, and openings corresponding to the dot forming partitions are formed together with the partition walls. The partition wall according to the embodiment of the present invention exhibits a particularly significant effect when used in an optical element, particularly an organic EL element, a quantum dot display, a TFT array, and a thin film solar cell.
The partition wall according to the embodiment of the present invention does not necessarily require high-temperature treatment in the manufacturing process, and therefore can be applied to flexible applications using plastic substrates such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polycarbonate, for example, as described below.
An example of a method for manufacturing a partition wall according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to fig. 1A to 1D, but the method for manufacturing a partition wall is not limited to the following. The following production method is described with respect to the case where the negative photosensitive resin composition contains the solvent (J).
As shown in fig. 1A, a negative photosensitive resin composition is applied to the entire main surface of one side of a substrate 1 to form a coating film 21. At this time, the ink repellent (E) is dissolved and uniformly dispersed in the entire coating film 21. Note that, in fig. 1A, the ink repellent (E) is schematically shown, and is not actually present in such a particle shape.
Next, as shown in fig. 1B, the coating film 21 is dried to form a dried film 22. Examples of the drying method include heat drying, drying under reduced pressure, and heat drying under reduced pressure. Although it depends on the kind of the solvent (J), the heating temperature is preferably 50 to 120 ℃ in the case of heat drying.
During this drying process, the ink repellent (E) migrates to the upper layer portion of the dried film. Note that, even when the negative photosensitive resin composition does not contain the solvent (J), the migration of the ink repellent (E) to the upper surface in the coating film is similarly achieved.
Next, as shown in fig. 1C, the dry film 22 is exposed by irradiating light through a photomask 30, the photomask 30 having a mask portion 31 having a shape corresponding to the opening surrounded by the partition walls. The film obtained by exposing the dried film 22 is referred to as an exposed film 23. In the exposed film 23, the exposed portion 23A is photocured, and the unexposed portion 23B is in the same state as the dried film 22.
Examples of the light to be irradiated include visible light; ultraviolet rays; extreme ultraviolet light; KrF excimer laser, ArF excimer laser, F2Excimer laser, Kr2Excimer laser, KrAr excimer laser and Ar2Excimer laser such as excimer laser; x-rays; electron beams, and the like.
The light to be irradiated is preferably light having a wavelength of 100 to 600nm, more preferably light having a wavelength of 300 to 500nm, and particularly preferably light containing i-ray (365nm), h-ray (405nm) or g-ray (436 nm). Further, light having a wavelength of 330nm or less may be cut off as necessary.
As the light to be irradiated during exposure, it is necessary to select light rays having wavelengths for activating the photopolymerization initiator (B) and the acid generator (C) contained in the negative photosensitive resin composition.
Examples of the exposure method include one-time exposure over the entire surface, scanning exposure, and the like. The exposure may be performed on the same position in a fraction of times. In this case, the exposure conditions may be the same or different for a plurality of times.
The exposure amount is preferably, for example, 5 to 1000mJ/cm in any of the above exposure modes2More preferably 5 to 500mJ/cm2More preferably 5 to 300mJ/cm2Particularly preferably 5 to 200mJ/cm2Most preferably 5 to 50mJ/cm2. The exposure amount can be appropriately optimized by the wavelength of the light to be irradiated, the composition of the negative photosensitive resin composition, the thickness of the coating film, and the like.
The exposure time per unit area is not particularly limited, and may be designed according to the exposure power of the exposure apparatus used, the required exposure amount, and the like. In the case of scanning exposure, the exposure time may be determined from the scanning speed of light.
The exposure time per unit area is usually about 1 to 60 seconds.
In the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention, radical polymerization of the alkali-soluble resin (a) is carried out in the exposure portion during exposure, and the acid generator (C) generates an acid by exposure, and in the presence of the acid, the acid curing agent (D) reacts with an acid group of the alkali-soluble resin (a) such as a carboxylic acid. Thus, the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can provide a cured film, particularly a cured film having improved curability of the alkali-soluble resin (a) and fixation of the ink repellent (E) on the upper surface of the cured film. Further, a cured film having curability equivalent to that of a conventional cured film, particularly curability of the upper surface, even with a low exposure amount, was obtained.
Next, as shown in fig. 1D, development using an alkali developer is performed to form the partition walls 4 only including the portions corresponding to the exposure portions 23A of the exposure film 23. The opening 5 surrounded by the partition wall 4 is a portion of the exposed film 23 where the non-exposed portion 23B exists, and fig. 1D shows a state where the non-exposed portion 23B is removed by development. As described above, the unexposed portions 23B are dissolved and removed by the alkali developing solution in a state where the ink-repellent agent (E) migrates to the upper layer and the layer below the upper layer is almost free of the ink-repellent agent (E), and therefore the ink-repellent agent (E) hardly remains in the openings 5.
In the partition wall 4 shown in fig. 1D, the uppermost layer including the upper surface thereof is an ink-repellent layer 4A. When the ink-repellent agent (E) does not contain a side chain having an ethylenic double bond, the ink-repellent agent (E) is present in the uppermost layer at a high concentration as it is during exposure, and becomes an ink-repellent layer. In the exposure, the alkali-soluble resin (a) present around the ink-repellent agent (E) is strongly photocured with the acid curing agent (D), particularly in the presence of an acid generated from the acid generator (C), and the ink-repellent agent (E) is fixed to the ink-repellent layer. Further, when the negative photosensitive resin composition optionally contains the thiol compound (G), the reaction based on the ethylenic double bond is promoted, and the ink-repellent layer is more firmly cured.
Even in the case where the ink repellent (E) includes a side chain having an ethylenic double bond, the alkali-soluble resin (a) is strongly photocured with the acid curing agent (D) in the presence of an acid generated from the acid generator (C), and the ink repellent (E) is simultaneously photocured together with each other and/or the alkali-soluble resin (a), and optionally the thiol compound (G) and other photocuring components, to form the ink repellent layer 4A in which the ink repellent (E) is strongly bonded.
In any of the above cases, a layer 4B containing mainly the alkali-soluble resin (a), the acid curing agent (D), and optionally the thiol compound (G) and other photocurable components, which is photocured by radical polymerization using radicals generated by the photopolymerization initiator (B) and cationic polymerization in the presence of an acid generated by the acid generator (C), and which contains almost no ink-repellent agent (E), is formed below the ink-repellent layer 4A.
By the above operation, the ink-repellent agent (E) is sufficiently fixed to the partition wall including the ink-repellent layer 4A and the lower layer 4B thereof, and therefore hardly migrates to the opening portion at the time of development.
As described above, in the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention, the surface and the inside of the cured film are sufficiently cured by combining the radical polymerization reaction by light and the curing reaction in the presence of the acid generated by light. Therefore, the cured portion as the exposed portion is resistant to corrosion and peeling by an alkali developing solution during development. Therefore, the exposed portion is less susceptible to long-term development, and therefore, is advantageous in removing residues in the opening portion.
After development, the partition walls 4 may be further heated. The heating temperature is preferably 80-250 ℃. By heating, the partition wall 4 is more firmly cured. In addition, the ink-repellent agent (E) is more firmly fixed within the ink-repellent layer 4A. The composition of the present invention can exhibit high liquid repellency even when cured at low temperatures, and can further exhibit high liquid repellency when immersed in a chemical agent such as an acid or an organic solvent. Particularly, when a plastic substrate such as a PET film or polycarbonate is used, the heating temperature needs to be set to a low level. In this case, the heating temperature is preferably 150 ℃ or lower, and more preferably 120 ℃ or lower. The composition of the present invention maintains liquid repellency even when heated at low temperatures as described above, and has excellent chemical resistance.
The resin cured film of the present invention and the partition wall 4 obtained by the above operation have good ink repellency on the upper surface even when exposure is performed at a low exposure amount. In addition, the partition walls 4 are almost free of the ink repellent (E) in the openings 5 after development, and uniform coating properties of the ink in the openings 5 can be sufficiently ensured.
For the purpose of more reliably obtaining the ink affinity of the opening 5, the substrate 1 with the partition wall 4 may be subjected to ultraviolet/ozone treatment after the heating to remove development residue and the like of the negative photosensitive resin composition that may be present in the opening 5.
The partition wall formed of the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention has a width of preferably 100 μm or less, and particularly preferably 20 μm or less. The distance between adjacent partition walls (width of pattern) is preferably 300 μm or less, and particularly preferably 100 μm or less. The height of the partition walls is preferably 0.05 to 50 μm, and particularly preferably 0.2 to 10 μm.
When the partition wall formed of the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is formed to have the above-described width, the unevenness at the edge portion is small and the linearity is excellent. The high linearity of the partition wall is particularly remarkable when a resin (a-2) in which an acidic group and an ethylenic double bond are introduced into an epoxy resin is used as the alkali-soluble resin. This enables formation of a pattern with high pattern accuracy even when the pattern is fine. If such high-precision patterning can be performed, the organic EL element is particularly useful as a partition wall for an organic EL element, a quantum dot display, a TFT array, and a thin film solar cell.
When pattern printing is performed by the IJ method, the partition wall of the present invention can be used as a partition wall having an opening portion as an ink injection region. When the partition wall of the present invention is formed and used so that the opening portions thereof coincide with the desired ink injection regions in pattern printing by the IJ method, the upper surface of the partition wall has good ink repellency, and therefore, injection of ink beyond the partition wall into the ink injection regions, which are undesired opening portions, can be suppressed. Further, since the opening surrounded by the partition walls has good ink wettability expansibility, the ink can be uniformly printed in a desired region without causing white spots or the like.
By using the partition wall of the present invention, as described above, pattern printing by the IJ method can be performed precisely. Therefore, the partition wall of the present invention is useful as a partition wall of an optical element having a plurality of dots formed by the IJ method on a substrate surface and a partition wall located between adjacent dots, particularly an organic EL element, a quantum dot display, a TFT array, or a thin film solar cell.

In the optical element of the present invention, particularly an organic EL element, a quantum dot display, a TFT array, or a thin film solar cell, it is preferable to form dots by the IJ method.
The organic EL element has a structure in which a light emitting layer of an organic thin film is sandwiched between an anode and a cathode, and the partition wall of the present invention can be used for a partition wall for partitioning an organic light emitting layer, a partition wall for partitioning an organic TFT layer, a partition wall for partitioning a coating-type oxide semiconductor, and the like.

The organic TFT array element may be provided as a TFT array substrate on an organic EL element, a liquid crystal element, or the like, for example.

Next, depending on the type of the ink 10 used, for example, for the purpose of solvent removal and curing, a treatment such as drying and/or heating is performed, and as shown in fig. 2B, an organic EL element 12 in which desired dots 11 are formed in a shape adjacent to the partition walls 4 is obtained.

A gate electrode of aluminum, an alloy thereof, or the like is formed on a light-transmitting substrate of plastic such as glass, PET, or the like by a sputtering method or the like. The gate electrode may be patterned as desired.
Next, a gate insulating film such as silicon nitride is formed by a plasma CVD method or the like. A source electrode and a drain electrode may be formed on the gate insulating film. The source electrode and the drain electrode can be formed by forming a metal thin film of aluminum, gold, silver, copper, an alloy thereof, or the like by vacuum evaporation or sputtering, for example. As a method for patterning the source electrode and the drain electrode, there is a method in which after a metal thin film is formed, a resist is applied, exposure and development are performed, the resist is left in a portion where an electrode is to be formed, then the exposed metal is removed with phosphoric acid, aqua regia, or the like, and finally the resist is removed. In the case of forming a metal thin film of gold or the like, there is a method of applying a resist in advance, exposing and developing the resist to leave a portion where no electrode is to be formed, and then removing the resist together with the metal thin film after forming the metal thin film. The source electrode and the drain electrode may be formed by an ink jet method or the like using a metal nano-colloid such as silver or copper.
Next, using the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention, partition walls are formed in a lattice shape in a plan view along the outline of each point by a photolithography method including coating, exposure, and development.
Next, a semiconductor solution was applied to the spot by an IJ method and the solution was dried, thereby forming a semiconductor layer. As the semiconductor solution, an organic semiconductor solution or an inorganic coating type oxide semiconductor solution can be used. The source electrode and the drain electrode can be formed by an ink jet method or the like after the semiconductor layer is formed.
Finally, a transparent electrode such as ITO is formed by sputtering or the like, and a protective film such as silicon nitride is formed.

Examples 1 to 10 corresponding to examples of the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contain an alkali-soluble resin or alkali-soluble monomer (A) having an unsaturated double bond, a photopolymerization initiator (B), an acid generator (C) and an acid curing agent (D), and thus the amount of exposure is, for example, 30mJ/cm2In that case, high liquid repellency was also obtained at a low exposure amount. In addition, even if the exposure amount is 50mJ/cm2The line width is not easily thickened, and the pattern formability is good.
On the other hand, in examples 11 and 12 corresponding to comparative examples, since they did not contain either of the photopolymerization initiator (B) and the acid generator (C), the exposure amount was, for example, 30mJ/cm2In the case of a low exposure amount as described above, the liquid repellency is insufficient. Therefore, the ink repellency of the upper surface of the cured film is insufficient. Example 13 corresponding to comparative example was sufficient in liquid repellency because the amount of the photopolymerization initiator (B) was increased, but was free from the acid generator (C), even at an exposure amount of, for example, 30mJ/cm2In the case of a low exposure amount, the line width is also easily increased, and the pattern formability is insufficient.
