Description

本発明は、プリンタブルエレクトロニクスにおける微細配線技術に好適に用いることができる親撥パターン形成方法、該親撥パターンを利用した導電性パターン膜形成方法等に関する。
より具体的には、プリンタブルエレクトロニクス(Printable Electronics)等の技術分野において、電極、配線等の各種の導電性パターン膜を形成する際に好適に利用することのできる親撥パターンを簡易に形成する技術に関する。
The present invention relates to a repellent pattern forming method that can be suitably used for a fine wiring technique in printable electronics, a conductive pattern film forming method using the repellent pattern, and the like.
More specifically, in a technical field such as printable electronics, a technology for easily forming an affinity pattern that can be suitably used for forming various conductive pattern films such as electrodes and wiring. About.

プリンタブルエレクトロニクスは、印刷技術を利用して電子回路、デバイス等を形成するもので、低コスト化、生産性向上、さらには省資源など環境調和性にも期待されている。その生産・実用化の製品開発分野は、フレキシブル配線技術開発、太陽電池製品の開発、有機ELディスプレイ・デジタルサイネージ・電子ペーパ開発、センサ技術、ヘルスケア技術開発、など、非常に多岐に渡っている。   Printable electronics uses printing technology to form electronic circuits, devices, and the like, and is expected to reduce costs, improve productivity, and conserve the environment. The production / practical product development fields are very diverse, such as flexible wiring technology development, solar cell product development, organic EL display / digital signage / electronic paper development, sensor technology, healthcare technology development, etc. .

そのようなプリンタブルエレクトロニクスにおいて、各種配線や電極等の導電性パターン膜の形成は、大きなウエートを占めているため、導電性パターン膜形成方法の合理化や効率化は、プリンタブルエレクトロニクスの今後の進展に大きく寄与するものと考えられる。   In such printable electronics, the formation of conductive pattern films such as various wirings and electrodes occupies a large weight. Therefore, the rationalization and efficiency improvement of conductive pattern film formation methods will greatly contribute to the future development of printable electronics. It is thought to contribute.

従来の導電性パターン膜の形成方法としては、フォトレジストを用いたフォトリソグラフィー法が知られているが、基板表面へのフォトレジスト塗布⇒フォトマスクを介してフォトレジストのパターニング露光⇒現像⇒導電性膜形成(蒸着or 印刷)⇒レジスト剥離・洗浄という多くの工程が必要となっている(特許文献1,2参照)。   As a conventional method for forming a conductive pattern film, a photolithography method using a photoresist is known, but a photoresist coating on a substrate surface ⇒ patterning exposure of a photoresist through a photomask ⇒ development ⇒ conductivity Many steps of film formation (evaporation or printing) ⇒ resist peeling and cleaning are required (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

また、フォトレジストのパターニング露光には、一般的に短波長光(300nm未満)が使用され、波長が300〜400nmの直描レーザは使用できず、パターンの固定化されたフォトマスクを通してパターニングを行っている。そのため、フレキシブル基板やフレキシブル層のように歪みやすい基材を用いる際に、基材の歪みに応じたパターニング露光ができず、それ故、フォトレジストを用いたフォトリソグラフィー法は、フレキシブル基材を用いた積層デバイスの製造に適用するのが困難である等の問題点も存在する。   Photoresist patterning exposure generally uses short-wavelength light (less than 300 nm). Direct-drawing lasers with a wavelength of 300 to 400 nm cannot be used, and patterning is performed through a photomask with a fixed pattern. ing. Therefore, when using a flexible substrate such as a flexible substrate or a flexible layer, patterning exposure according to the distortion of the substrate cannot be performed. Therefore, a photolithography method using a photoresist uses a flexible substrate. There is also a problem that it is difficult to apply to the manufacture of the stacked device.

所定パターン領域に対する光照射は、所定パターンを有するフォトマスクを介して行っても良いし、光照射範囲が狭い範囲である光照射源を光架橋剤膜に対し相対的に走査して行うこともできる。フォトマスクを用いることなく、波長が300〜400nmの紫外光照射装置として市販の紫外レーザ直描装置等の直描用の光照射源を用いる場合には、フレキシブル基材のように歪みやすい基材であっても、基材の歪みに応じた直描パターニングにより歪み補正を行うことができる。

(Formation of conductive pattern film)
Examples of a method for forming a conductive pattern film using the repellent pattern formed according to the present invention include printing with a hydrophilic conductive film that can be formed into a conductive film, and forming a conductive film by firing the ink. Any known technique that can be employed in electronics can be used.

以下に実施例を示し、本発明の特徴とするところをより一層明確にするが、本発明は、このような実施例に限定されるものではない。   The following examples illustrate the features of the present invention more clearly, but the present invention is not limited to such examples.

(光架橋剤の調製)
市販のアミン末端樹状高分子PAMAMG4(シグマアルドリッチ社PAMAMデンドリマー、エチレンジアミンコア、4.0世代 溶液)を含む10%メタノール溶液にNHS-Diazirine〔スクシンイミジル4,4-アジペンタノエート(Succinimidyl 4,4-Azipentanoate)〕(サーモフィッシャーサイエンティフィック社)を64個のアミン基を有するPAMAMデンドリマーのアミン基、NHS-Diazirine、トリエチルアミンを45:1:2の比で混合し、室温で2時間半放置することにより反応を行った。その後、エタノールで1/10に希釈し、次の式(1)で表されるようなジアジリンを有する光架橋剤を調製した(なお、64個のアミン基のうち、ジアジリンが結合するアミン基の位置は問わないし、ジアジリンが結合するアミン基は、単数であっても良いし、複数であっても良い)。

Figure 2016114716
(式中、コアは、エチレンジアミンを意味する。) (Preparation of photocrosslinking agent)
NHS-Diazirine (Succinimidyl 4,4-Azipentanoate) was added to a 10% methanol solution containing the commercially available amine-terminated dendritic polymer PAMAMG4 (Sigma Aldrich PAMAM dendrimer, ethylenediamine core, 4.0 generation solution). )] (Thermo Fisher Scientific) by mixing PAMAM dendrimer with 64 amine groups, NHS-Diazirine, triethylamine in a ratio of 45: 1: 2 and let stand at room temperature for 2.5 hours Reaction was performed. Thereafter, it was diluted to 1/10 with ethanol to prepare a photocrosslinking agent having diazirine as represented by the following formula (1) (among the 64 amine groups, the amine group to which diazirine binds). The position is not limited, and the amine group to which diazirine is bonded may be singular or plural.
Figure 2016114716
(In the formula, the core means ethylenediamine.)

(基板表面の調整)
金コートガラス基板(東亜理化研究所製)をオゾン洗浄した後、金コート面を1mMのアルカンチオール(本実施例ではC16SH)(東京化成、n-ヘキサデシルメルカプタン)エタノール溶液に1晩さらし、金コート表面にアルカンチオールの自己組織化単分子(SAM)膜を形成した。このSAM膜表面は、炭素数16のアルカンに由来して疎水性を示す(水に対する接触角が約105°程度)。
(Adjustment of substrate surface)
After the gold-coated glass substrate (manufactured by Toa Rika Institute) was cleaned with ozone, the gold-coated surface was exposed to a 1 mM alkanethiol (C16SH in this example) ethanol solution (Tokyo Kasei, n-hexadecyl mercaptan) overnight. A self-assembled monomolecular (SAM) film of alkanethiol was formed on the coat surface. The surface of this SAM film is hydrophobic due to the alkane having 16 carbon atoms (the contact angle with water is about 105 °).

(親撥パターンの形成)
上記の調製された光架橋剤のメタノール溶液を前記SAM膜上に塗布し、乾燥させることによりSAM膜上に光架橋剤膜を形成した。その上にフォトマスクを通じて310nmカットフィルターを通して高圧水銀ランプ(モリテックス社、紫外線照射装置MORITEX MUV-250U-L、主波長365nm、波長範囲225nm〜500nm)を10分間照射した。エタノール、水洗浄により、未露光部の光架橋剤を除去した。その後の顕微鏡写真を観察するとフォトマスク通りのパターンコントラストを得た〔図2(a)参照〕。架橋後の光架橋剤パターン膜は親水性を示す(水に対する接触角が約75°程度)。
(Formation of repellent pattern)
The methanol solution of the photocrosslinking agent prepared above was applied onto the SAM film and dried to form a photocrosslinking agent film on the SAM film. A high-pressure mercury lamp (Mortex, MORITEX MUV-250U-L, main wavelength 365 nm, wavelength range 225 nm to 500 nm) was irradiated for 10 minutes through a photomask through a 310 nm cut filter. The photo-crosslinking agent in the unexposed area was removed by washing with ethanol and water. When the subsequent micrograph was observed, a pattern contrast equivalent to a photomask was obtained [see FIG. 2 (a)]. The cross-linked photocrosslinker pattern film is hydrophilic (contact angle with water is about 75 °).

さらに、比較的表面自由エネルギーの高い高沸点溶剤ジメチルスルホキシド(DMSO)(キシダ化学)にさらした。DMSOがほぼフォトマスクパターンコントラストに近い状態で残ることが分かった〔図2(b)参照〕。DMSOにさらす替わりに別途、親水性のナノ銀インク水溶液(バンドー化学開発品)を塗り広げたところ、フォトマスクパターン通りに塗り広がることが分かった〔図2(c)参照〕。   Furthermore, it was exposed to a high boiling point solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (Kishida Chemical) with relatively high surface free energy. It was found that DMSO remained in a state almost similar to the photomask pattern contrast [see FIG. 2 (b)]. Instead of exposing to DMSO, when a hydrophilic nano silver ink aqueous solution (bando chemical development product) was spread separately, it was found that the coating spreads according to the photomask pattern [see FIG. 2 (c)].

本発明の方法によれば、フォトレジストを用いたフォトリソグラフィー法による場合に比べ、はるかに少ない工程で種々の親撥パターンを各種表面上に高精度に形成することができる。また、該親撥パターンは、配線や電極等の導電性パターンの形成に用いることができるので、本発明の方法は、各種のデバイス等の製造に幅広く応用することができる。
また、露光をレーザ直描により行う場合には、フレキシブル基材やフレキシブル層のように歪みやすい基材であっても、それらの歪みに応じた直描パターニングにより歪み補正を行うことができるので、レーザ直描により行う態様の本発明は、特に、フレキシブル基材やフレキシブル層を含む積層デバイスの製造に好適である。
According to the method of the present invention, various repellency patterns can be formed with high accuracy on various surfaces with much fewer steps than in the case of photolithography using a photoresist. Further, since the repellent pattern can be used for forming conductive patterns such as wirings and electrodes, the method of the present invention can be widely applied to the production of various devices.
In addition, when performing exposure by laser direct drawing, even if it is a substrate that is easily distorted such as a flexible substrate or a flexible layer, distortion correction can be performed by direct drawing patterning according to those distortions, The aspect of the present invention performed by laser direct drawing is particularly suitable for manufacturing a laminated device including a flexible base material and a flexible layer.
