Background technology
Photoresistance is widely used in the formation of Wiring pattern of integrated circuit, plated printed circuit, color liquid crystal device or colored filter.In the formation technology of Wiring pattern, at first dispersible pigment dispersion, solvent, photoresist and relevant adjuvant hybrid modulation are become photoresistance, then photoresistance is coated on the substrate and carried out in advance roasting, afterwards with after the light shield exposure, use the photoresistance at the unexposed position of developer solution flush away again, can make the photoresistance film of required pattern.The mode of coating has decoration method, print process, electricity work method and pigment dispersing method, and common visualization way has immersion development, shakes development, spray developing, leave standstill development.
In known developer solution technology; photoresistance is after filming and baking in advance, expose; though can with alkaline-based developer dissolve remove unexposed do not want be coated with membrane portions; but be easy to generate do not develop position particle or dissolved matter remaining not when developing, the back of therefore developing is difficult to form accurate photoresistance image (referring to Japanese patent laid-open 01-102429,01-152449,01-254918,02-166452 number).Japanese patent laid-open 06-308316 number the organic solvent by adding part cellulose, ether, ketone, ester in developer solution improves the development of developer solution, but also bad to the removal effect of residue, defoaming is also relatively poor; In order to improve the shortcoming of development difference, disclosed the developer solution made from water, alkali compounds, anionic surfactant for Japanese patent laid-open 06-109916,10-010749 number, though containing the developer solution of anionic surfactant, this kind have no residue, effect that development is good in use, but the dispersion stabilization of the defoaming of developer solution, operating conditions and photoresistance is poor, and is therefore unsatisfactory in the use.
When photoresistance developed, when having air to enter in the developer solution, developer solution will foam, and will put aside in developer solution when these foam froth breakings are insufficient.Along with the increase of the photoresistance composition that dissolves in developer solution or disperse, the foam that produces in the developer solution is difficult to eliminate.Foam obstruction developer solution contacts with photoresistance, thereby causes can not fully removing the photoresistance of unexposed portion and can not forming good photoresistance pattern.In addition, for the spray developing of generally using at present, owing to develop, easilier in developer solution cause foaming by spraying developer solution is ejected on the photoresistance after the exposure fully.
In order to suppress the foaming of developer solution, often in developer solution, add defoamer.As the defoamer that developer solution is used, for example can use acetylene alcohol surfactants (Japanese patent laid-open 4-51020 number), poly alkylene glycol and derivant thereof (Japanese patent laid-open 07-128865,08-10600,08-87382,09-172256,10-319606,2001-222115 number), higher fatty acid monoglyceride (Japanese patent laid-open 09-293964 number).But defoamer in the past can aggegation in developer solution, becomes the scum silica frost of oily, and scum silica frost is attached to photoresistance or substrate surface, thereby the photoresistance pattern out of true and the base material that cause forming are polluted.And these defoamers are at the initial stage of its use, though have defoaming effect to a certain degree, along with the increase of dissolving in developer solution or the resist composition that disperses, defoaming effect sharply descends.
Chinese patent CN1126006C discloses a kind of alkaline water system developer composition used when being used for photoresist exposure back image and forming, comprise water, alkali compounds and non-ionic surfactant, non-ionic surfactant wherein is that the degree of polymerization is 15 polyethylene oxide aryl ether.Residue is few though this developer solution that contains nonionic surfactant has in use, the good effect of dispersion stabilization of development and chromatic photoresist, but defoaming, the operating temperature of developer solution are not still fully improved, and be therefore still undesirable in the use.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is intended to overcome the prior art developer solution and can not takes into account development, defoaming, dispersion stabilization in use simultaneously or need to add the defective of defoamer with the defoaming that improves developer solution, and can improve the developer composition of development, defoaming and dispersion stabilization when a kind of the use is provided simultaneously.
The inventor is unexpected to be found, by Gemini type surfactant and alkali compounds mating reaction, can reduce even eliminate fully the appearance of developer solution residue in developing process greatly, also can improve simultaneously the defoaming and the dispersion stabilization of developer solution greatly, the combination property of developer solution is greatly enhanced.
For this reason, the invention provides a kind of photoresistance developer solution, this developer solution contains:
