Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide developing solution for positive type photo regist which can increase the dissolving speed of a regist exposure section and also can enhance a developing efficiency by adding specified interfacial active agent into developing solution composed of alkali metallic hydroxide water solution. CONSTITUTION:Anion interfacial active agent composed of sulfonate and/or sulfate is constituted to be contained in alkali metallic hydroxide water solution. In this case, the dissolving speed of a regist exposure section is extremely increased with no residual film left after developing has been carried out, as compared with that by developing solution composed of only alkali metallic hydroxide water solution. Sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and the like are most preferable as alkali metallic hydroxides to be used for developing solution under this constitution, and the concentration of water solution shall be 1 to 5%. Alkyldiphenyldisulfonate sodium and the like are most suitable as interfacial active agent, and 0.01 to 10% interfacial active agent by weight shall be added to developing solution.

An organic alkali compound (tetramethylammonium hydroxide, etc.) is typically used as a developer for this positive photoresist, but this developer may cause a decrease in resolution, dimensional accuracy, and yield. There was a problem. As a means to solve this problem, a method has been proposed in which an organic solvent such as methanol or ethanol or a surfactant is added to the developer (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 57128/1983).

Therefore, compared to the developer consisting only of the alkali metal hydroxide aqueous solution,
The dissolution rate τ of the exposed areas of the resist increases significantly, and there is no residual film after development, making it extremely effective when using positive photoresists in the production of printed circuit boards or tape carriers, etc., where the development process is performed continuously. I discovered that.
