Abstract
Provided is a negative photosensitive resin composition which has high developing adhesion of a partition wall, has good ink repellency on the upper surface, and has sufficiently little development residue at an opening for dot formation. A negative photosensitive resin composition comprising: an alkali-soluble resin (A) having a photocurable functional group, a crosslinking agent (B) comprising a multifunctional low-molecular-weight compound (B1) having an acid group and 2 or more photocurable functional groups in 1 molecule, an ink repellent (C) having an acid group and a fluorine atom and having an acid value of 10 to 100mgKOH/g, a photopolymerization initiator (D), and a solvent (E).
Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a negative photosensitive resin composition.
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 as dots by an Inkjet (IJ) method is sometimes used. In the above method, a partition wall is provided along the outline of a dot to be formed, ink containing a material of an organic layer is injected into a partition (hereinafter, also referred to as an "opening") surrounded by the partition wall, and the partition is dried and/or heated, thereby forming a dot of a desired pattern.
In pattern printing using an Inkjet (IJ) method, in order to prevent mixing of ink between adjacent dots and to uniformly apply the ink in dot formation, it is necessary for the upper surface of the partition wall to have ink repellency. On the other hand, the opening for forming dots surrounded by the partition wall, including the side surface of the partition wall, needs to have ink affinity. Therefore, in order to obtain a partition wall having ink repellency on the upper surface, the following method is known: partition walls corresponding to a dot pattern are formed by photolithography including steps of coating film formation, exposure, and development using a negative photosensitive resin composition containing an ink repellent.
In the partition wall formed using such a negative photosensitive resin composition, if a residue of the composition (hereinafter, also referred to as "development residue") is present in the opening after development, the wet spread of the ink supplied to the opening by the IJ method may be insufficient thereafter. Further, as a method for reducing the development residue in the opening portion, there is a method of adjusting the negative photosensitive resin composition to a composition that is easily removed by the developer, but in this method, there is a problem that the ink repellency of the upper surface of the partition wall cannot be sufficiently maintained.
For example, patent document 1 describes a photosensitive composition for a partition wall of an active-drive organic electroluminescent element, which contains: component (A): an ethylenically unsaturated compound; (B) component (A): a photopolymerization initiator; (C) component (A): an alkali-soluble binder having an ethylenically unsaturated group in a side chain; and (D) component: a liquid repellent comprising a fluorine-based compound having an ethylenically unsaturated group in a side chain; (E) component (A): a fluorine-based surfactant and/or a silicone-based surfactant.
Thus, in patent document 1, although the ink repellency of the upper surface of the partition wall and the ink wettability of the opening portion can be achieved at the same time by the composition, the ink repellency of the upper surface of the partition wall and the ink wettability of the opening portion that can sufficiently cope with the optical element with higher accuracy cannot be achieved.
Patent document 2 describes the following technique: for the application by UV/O 3 An ink repellent in a method of removing development residue by irradiation is improved in solubility in a developer by introducing an acidic group into the ink repellent. However, when the ink repellent according to patent document 2 is used for the negative photosensitive resin composition, it is difficult to say that the ink repellent is sufficient in terms of ink repellency and development adhesion, as in the case of patent document 1.

"(meth) acryloyl" is a generic term for "methacryloyl" and "acryloyl". (meth) acryloyloxy, (meth) acrylic acid and (meth) acrylic esters are also used herein.
The group represented by the formula (x) is sometimes abbreviated as group (x).
The compound represented by the formula (y) may be abbreviated as compound (y).
Here, the formulae (x) and (y) represent arbitrary chemical formulae.
"resin mainly composed of a certain component" or "resin mainly composed of a certain component" means: the proportion of this component is 50% by mass or more relative to the total resin amount.
"side chain" means: in the polymer in which the main chain is composed of repeating units formed of carbon atoms, groups other than hydrogen atoms or halogen atoms are bonded to the carbon atoms constituting the main chain.
The "total solid content of the photosensitive resin composition" means: the component for forming a cured film described later among the components contained in the photosensitive resin composition was determined from a residue obtained by heating the photosensitive resin composition at 140 ℃ for 24 hours to remove the solvent. The total solid content may be calculated from the charged amount.
A film formed from a cured product of a composition containing a resin as a main component is referred to as a "resin cured film".
A film obtained by applying the photosensitive resin composition is referred to as a "coating film", and a 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 a partition wall formed in a shape that partitions a predetermined region into a plurality of sections. For example, the following "ink" is injected into the partition partitioned by the partition, that is, the opening surrounded by the partition, to form "dots".
"ink" is a term collectively referring to liquids having optical and/or electrical functionality after drying, curing, and the like.

[ negative photosensitive resin composition ]
The negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains: an alkali-soluble resin (A) having a photocurable functional group, a crosslinking agent (B) comprising a multifunctional low-molecular-weight compound (B1) having an acid group and 2 or more photocurable functional groups in 1 molecule, an ink-repellent agent (C) having an acid group and a fluorine atom and having an acid value of 10 to 100mgKOH/g, a photopolymerization initiator (D), and a solvent (E).
The negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains a multifunctional low molecular weight compound (B1) having an acid group as a crosslinking agent (B), and uses the ink repellent (C) having a predetermined acid value in combination, whereby a partition wall having high development adhesion, good ink repellency on the upper surface, and sufficiently small development residue at the opening can be formed. When such a partition wall is used for an optical element, for example, for an organic EL element, for a quantum dot display, for a TFT array, or for a thin film solar cell, dots can be formed with high accuracy due to good ink coatability by the IJ method or the like, and an optical element with high sensitivity can be manufactured.
The negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention contains, in addition to the above essential components, a crosslinking agent (B2) having no acidic group and other optional components as necessary. The respective components are explained below.

The alkali-soluble resin (a) is an alkali-soluble resin having a photocurable functional group. As the alkali-soluble resin (a), a photosensitive resin having an acid group and an olefinic double bond in 1 molecule is preferable.

The exposed portion sufficiently cured in this way is not easily removed by an alkaline developer (hereinafter also simply referred to as "developer"). In addition, since the multifunctional low molecular weight compound (B1) contained in the alkali-soluble resin (a) and the crosslinking agent (B) has an acidic group in the molecule, the non-exposed portion of the uncured negative photosensitive resin composition can be selectively removed by the developer. As a result, the cured film can be formed into a partition wall having a shape that partitions a predetermined region into a plurality of sections.

As the alkali-soluble resin (A), the above-mentioned resin (A-2) is preferably used from the following points: an aspect in which peeling of the cured film during development can be suppressed and a high-resolution dot pattern can be obtained; the linearity of the pattern when the dots are linear is good; and a smooth cured film surface is easily obtained. The good linearity of the pattern means that the obtained partition wall has no defect or the like in the edge and is linear.

(ink repellent (C))
The ink repellent (C) has an acid group and a fluorine atom, and has an acid value of 10 to 100mgKOH/g. By having a fluorine atom, the ink-repellent agent (C) is provided with a property of migrating to the upper surface (upper surface migration) and an ink-repellency in the process of forming a cured film using the negative photosensitive resin composition containing the ink-repellent agent (C). By using the ink repellent (C), the upper layer portion including the upper surface of the obtained cured film becomes a layer in which the ink repellent (C) 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 ink-repellent agent (C) has an acid group, and when the acid value is not less than the lower limit value, the ink-repellent agent (C) has good solubility in a developer, similarly to other components such as the alkali-soluble resin (a) and the crosslinking agent (B) contained in the negative photosensitive resin composition. Thus, the negative photosensitive resin composition in the unexposed portion can be easily removed by the developer, and the developability is good. On the other hand, when the acid value of the ink repellent (C) is not more than the upper limit, the ink repellent layer formed on the upper layer of the cured film and the resin layer on the lower layer are sufficiently adhered to each other, and therefore, the cured film is hardly affected by the developer, and can exhibit high ink repellency even after development.
The acid value of the ink-repellent agent (C) is preferably from 20 to 100mgKOH/g, more preferably from 25 to 80mgKOH/g, and still more preferably from 30 to 60mgKOH/g.

When the fluorine atom content of the ink repellent (C) 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.
The ink repellent (C) is preferably a compound having a photocurable functional group, particularly an ethylenic double bond. By having the ink-repellent agent (C) have an olefinic double bond, a radical acts on the olefinic double bond of the ink-repellent agent (C) which migrates to the upper surface, and crosslinking based on (co) polymerization of the ink-repellent agents (C) with each other or with other components having an olefinic double bond contained in the negative photosensitive resin composition can be achieved.
Thus, in the production of a cured film obtained by curing the negative photosensitive resin composition, the fixation of the ink repellent (C) to the upper layer portion of the cured film, that is, to the ink repellent layer can be improved. The negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can sufficiently fix the ink-repellent agent (C) in the ink-repellent layer even when the exposure amount at the time of exposure is low. The case where the ink repellent (C) has an ethylenic double bond is as described above. When the ink repellent (C) does not have an ethylenic double bond, the photocurable component mainly composed of the alkali-soluble resin (a) present around the ink repellent (C) is sufficiently cured, whereby the ink repellent (C) can be sufficiently fixed.

When the mass average molecular weight (Mw) is not less than the lower limit, the ink repellent (C2) is likely to migrate to the upper surface when a cured film is formed using the negative photosensitive resin composition. When the content is less than the upper limit, the content of the opening residue is preferably reduced. The mass average molecular weight (Mw) of the ink repellent (C2) can be adjusted by the production conditions.

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.

Furthermore, combinations of these with benzophenones, for example 4,4' -bis (diethylamino) benzophenone, are particularly preferred.

Unlike the case of radical polymerization of general olefinic double bonds, the ene-thiol reaction has the following advantages: the polymer is free from reaction inhibition by oxygen, has high chain transfer properties, and is crosslinked simultaneously with polymerization, so that the shrinkage rate of the polymer when cured is low, and a uniform network can be easily obtained.

(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.

The negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can be obtained by mixing the above components in predetermined amounts. The negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention can exhibit an effect particularly when used for forming a cured film or a partition wall used in an optical device, for example, an organic EL device, a quantum dot display, a TFT array, or a thin film solar cell. When the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is used, a partition wall having good ink repellency on the upper surface and good development adhesion to a substrate can be produced, and the amount of development residue in the opening partitioned by the partition wall is sufficiently small.
[ partition wall ]
The partition wall of the present invention is formed in a shape of dividing the surface of the substrate into a plurality of sections for forming dots, and is formed of the cured film of the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention. The partition wall can be obtained, for example, as follows: the negative photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is applied to the surface of a base material such as a substrate, and if necessary, dried to remove a solvent or the like, and then a portion to be a partition for dot formation is masked and exposed to light and developed. The unexposed portion is removed by masking by development, and an opening corresponding to the partition for dot formation is formed together with the partition.
As described above, the partition wall according to the embodiment of the present invention has excellent ink repellency on the upper surface and excellent development adhesion to the substrate, and the amount of development residue is sufficiently small at the opening portions partitioned by the partition wall. Thus, when the ink is used for an optical element, particularly an organic EL element, a quantum dot display, a TFT array, or a thin film solar cell manufactured by the IJ method, a remarkable effect is exhibited that the ink is uniformly applied to the opening and dots can be formed with high accuracy.
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 in the case where the negative photosensitive resin composition contains the solvent (E).
As shown in fig. 1A, a negative photosensitive resin composition is applied to the entire one main surface of the substrate 1 to form a coating film 21. At this time, the ink repellent (C) is dissolved and uniformly dispersed in the entire coating film 21. In fig. 1A, the ink repellent (C) is schematically shown, and is not actually present in such a particle shape.
Subsequently, 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 (E), the heating temperature is preferably 50 to 120 ℃ in the case of heat drying
In this drying process, the ink repellent (C) migrates to the upper layer portion of the drying film. Even when the negative photosensitive resin composition does not contain the solvent (E), the migration of the upper surface of the ink repellent (C) can be similarly realized in the coating film.
Next, as shown in fig. 1C, the dry film 22 is irradiated with light and exposed through a photomask 30 having a mask portion 31 having a shape corresponding to the opening surrounded by the partition wall. The film obtained by exposing the dried film 22 to light 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, and F 2 Excimer laser, kr 2 Excimer laser, krAr excimer laser and Ar 2 Excimer laser such as excimer laser; x-rays; electron beam, etc
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 including i-ray (365 nm), h-ray (405 nm) or g-ray (436 nm). In addition, light of 330nm or less can be cut off as necessary.
Examples of the exposure method include batch exposure over the entire surface, scanning exposure, and the like. The exposure may be performed in a plurality of times for the same position. In this case, the exposure conditions for the plural times may be the same or different.
The exposure dose is preferably, for example, 5 to 1000mJ/cm in any of the above exposure modes 2 More preferably 5 to 500mJ/cm 2 More preferably 5 to 300mJ/cm 2 Particularly preferably 5 to 200mJ/cm 2 Most preferably 5 to 50mJ/cm 2 . The exposure amount may be determined according to the wavelength of the irradiated light, the composition of the negative photosensitive resin composition, the thickness of the coating film, and the likeIs suitable for optimization.
The exposure time per unit area is not particularly limited, and is 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 is determined from the scanning speed of light. The exposure time per unit area is usually about 1 to 60 seconds.
Next, as shown in fig. 1D, development using an alkali developer is performed to form the partition wall 4 composed only of the portion corresponding to the exposure portion 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 unexposed portion 23B has been present, and fig. 1D shows a state where the unexposed portion 23B is removed by development. Since the negative photosensitive resin composition has acidic groups in the alkali-soluble resin (a), the crosslinking agent (B), and the ink-repellent agent (C), the composition is easily dissolved and removed in the unexposed area 23B by an alkali developer, and the composition hardly remains in the opening 5. On the other hand, the partition wall 4 which is a cured product of the negative photosensitive resin composition is excellent in development adhesion, and therefore, sufficiently adheres to the substrate 1 even after development.
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 (C) does not have a side chain having an ethylenic double bond, the ink-repellent agent (C) is present directly in a high concentration in the uppermost layer at the time of exposure to light to form an ink-repellent layer. Upon exposure, the alkali-soluble resin (a) present around the ink repellent (C), the thiol compound (G) optionally contained, and the other photocurable component are firmly photocured, and the ink repellent (C) is fixed in the ink repellent layer.
When the ink repellent (C) has a side chain having an ethylenic double bond, the ink repellents (C) are photocured together with each other and/or the alkali-soluble resin (a), the thiol compound (G) optionally contained, and other photocuring components to form an ink repellent layer 4A in which the ink repellents (C) are firmly bonded.
In any case, the following is the case: on the lower side of the ink-repellent layer 4A, the main alkali-soluble resin (a) and the thiol compound (G) optionally contained, and the other photocurable component are photocured to form a layer 4B containing almost no ink-repellent agent (C).
Conventionally, when the ink repellent has an acidic group, there is a problem that the ink-repellent layer formed on the uppermost layer of the partition wall is easily removed at the time of development. In the present invention, by using the ink-repellent agent (C) having an acid value limited to a predetermined range, dissolution and removal by an alkaline developer can be easily performed in a non-exposed portion during development, and the ink-repellent layer 4A formed on the uppermost layer of the partition wall 4 is hardly affected by the alkaline developer and remains. In addition, the ink-repellent agent (C) is sufficiently fixed in the partition wall including the ink-repellent layer 4A and the lower layer 4B thereof, and thus hardly migrates to the opening portion at the time of development.
After development, the partition walls 4 may be further heated. The heating temperature is preferably 130 to 250 ℃. The solidification of the partition wall 4 becomes stronger by heating. In addition, the ink-repellent agent (C) is more firmly fixed within the ink-repellent layer 4A.
The thus obtained resin cured film of the present invention and the partition wall 4 have good ink repellency of the upper surface even when exposed to light at a low exposure amount. In addition, with respect to the partition wall 4, there is almost no ink repellent (C) at the opening 5 after development, and uniform coating property of ink at the opening 5 can be sufficiently ensured.
In order to more reliably obtain 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, for example, preferably 100 μm or less, and particularly preferably 20 μm or less. The distance between adjacent partition walls (the width of the pattern) is preferably 300 μm or less, and particularly preferably 100 μm or less. The height of the partition wall 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 edge portion has few irregularities and is excellent in linearity. In particular, when the resin (a-2) obtained by introducing an acid group and an olefinic double bond into an epoxy resin as an alkali-soluble resin is used, the development of high linearity in the partition wall is remarkable. Thus, even a fine pattern can be formed with high accuracy. Such high-precision patterning is useful as a partition wall for an organic EL element in particular.
The partition wall of the present invention can be used as a partition wall having an opening as an ink injection region when pattern printing is performed by the IJ method. When the partition wall of the present invention is used in a state in which the opening portion thereof is aligned with the desired ink injection region in pattern printing by the IJ method, the upper surface of the partition wall has good ink repellency, and therefore, it is possible to prevent ink from being injected into the ink injection region, which is an undesired opening portion, over the partition wall. Further, since the ink has good wet spreading properties in the opening surrounded by the partition wall, the ink can be uniformly printed in a desired area without causing a void or the like.
When the partition wall of the present invention is used, 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, particularly an organic EL element, a quantum dot display, a TFT array, or a thin film solar cell, having a plurality of dots and a partition wall located between adjacent dots on a surface of a substrate on which the dots are formed by the IJ method.

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

Here, the partition wall 4 on the substrate 1 is formed so that the opening 5 matches the dot pattern of the organic EL element to be manufactured.
As shown in fig. 2A, ink 10 is dropped from the ink jet head 9 to the opening 5 surrounded by the partition wall 4, and a predetermined amount of the ink 10 is injected into the opening 5. As the ink, ink known as an organic EL element can be appropriately selected and used in accordance with the function of the dot.
Next, depending on the type of ink 10 used, a treatment such as drying and/or heating is performed to remove the solvent and cure the ink, thereby obtaining an organic EL element 12 in which desired dots 11 are formed so as to be adjacent to the partition walls 4 as shown in fig. 2B.

Next, materials for the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer, the light-emitting layer, the hole blocking layer, and the electron injection layer were applied to the opening for dot formation by the IJ method, and then dried, and these layers were sequentially stacked. The kind and number of organic layers formed in the dot forming openings are appropriately designed. Finally, a reflective electrode such as aluminum or a translucent electrode such as ITO is formed by vapor deposition or the like.
