Description

LCD용 포토레지스트 조성물{PHOTORESIST COMPOSITION FOR LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAYS}Photoresist composition for LCD {PHOTORESIST COMPOSITION FOR LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAYS}

본 발명은 LCD용 포토레지스트 조성물에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 감도 및 코팅 균일성이 우수하고 원하는 두께의 수직 단면 프로파일을 얻을 수 있는 포토레지스트 조성물에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a photoresist composition for LCD, and more particularly to a photoresist composition which is excellent in sensitivity and coating uniformity and obtains a vertical cross-sectional profile of a desired thickness.

LCD 패널의 수요 증가, 특히 TV, 모니터용 패널의 수요 증가는 글래스(Glass)의 대형화와 패널의 고정세화를 필요로 하고 있다. 이러한 추세에 따라 글래스 조건과 부합된 관련 공정 조건에 새로이 만족할 포토레지스트의 개발이 필요하게 되었다. 대형 글래스상에서의 포토(Photo) 공정은 라인 생산량을 결정하는 중요한 공정으로서, 포토레지스트 막의 도포 특성, 얼룩 프리(Free), 현상 콘트라스트, 해상도, 기판과의 접착력, 잔막 특성, 감도 등이 제조되는 미세 회로의 품질에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 중요한 공정이다.Increasing demand for LCD panels, especially for TV and monitor panels, requires large glass sizes and high definition panels. This trend has necessitated the development of photoresists that will be new to the relevant process conditions consistent with the glass conditions. The photo process on the large glass is an important process for determining the line production rate. The photoresist film coating characteristics, stain free, development contrast, resolution, adhesion to the substrate, residual film characteristics, sensitivity, etc. are manufactured. This is an important process that directly affects the quality of the circuit.

특히, 포토 공정 후 형성되는 패턴은 데이터 금속 배선을 만들기 위해 습식 식각(Wet Etch) 공정을 수반하게 되는데, 중간에 건조 식각 공정을 진행하게 되면 기존의 포토레지스트 조성물의 경우는 슬로프(Slope)를 가지고 있어 어택(Attack)을 받게 되고 금속 습식 식각 후에 금속 배선의 크기(Size)가 스펙(Spec.)의 범위를 넘게 되어 원하는 제품 특성에 저해 요소로 작용하는 문제가 있다.In particular, the pattern formed after the photo process is accompanied by a wet etching process to make a data metal wiring. If the dry etching process is performed in the middle, the pattern of the conventional photoresist composition has a slope. There is a problem that the size of the metal wiring exceeds the range of the specification after wet etching, and thus acts as a deterrent to desired product characteristics.

따라서, 본 발명은 상기와 같은 종래 기술에서의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 프로파일을 수직으로 세워 건조 식각시의 어택(Attack)을 최소화함으로써 생산 수율을 향상시킬 수 있는 액정표시장치용 포토레지스트 조성물을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다.Accordingly, the present invention provides a photoresist composition for a liquid crystal display device which can improve the production yield by minimizing the attack during dry etching by raising the profile vertically in order to solve the problems in the prior art as described above. It aims to do it.

상기 목적을 달성하기 위하여, 본 발명은 (a) 분자량 2000 ∼ 12000의 노볼락 수지 10 내지 20 중량%, (b) G-선용 감광제 및 I-선용 감광제가 1:2 내지 2:1의 비율로 블렌딩된 디아지드계 감광성 화합물 10 내지 30 중량%, 및 (c) 잔량의 유기용매를 포함하는 액정표시장치 회로용 포토레지스트 조성물을 제공한다.In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is (a) 10 to 20% by weight of a novolak resin having a molecular weight of 2000 to 12000, (b) a photosensitive agent for G-line and a photosensitive agent for I-line in the ratio of 1: 2 to 2: 1 Provided is a photoresist composition for a liquid crystal display device circuit comprising 10 to 30 wt% of a blended diazide photosensitive compound, and (c) a residual amount of an organic solvent.

이하에서 본 발명을 상세하게 설명한다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

본 발명은 G-선용 및 I-선용 감광제 화합물을 혼합 사용하여 건조식각시의 어택을 최소화하고 감도 및 콘트라스트를 향상시킬 수 있는 포토레지스트 조성물을 제공하는 특징이 있다.The present invention is characterized by providing a photoresist composition capable of minimizing attack during dry etching and improving sensitivity and contrast by using a mixture of G-ray and I-ray photosensitive compounds.

본 발명에서 사용하는 노볼락 수지는 페놀류 화합물과 알데히드류 화합물을 축중합 반응시켜 제조된 것이다. 상기 페놀류로는 페놀, m-크레졸, p-크레졸 등을 단독 또는 2 종 이상 혼합하여 사용할 수 있다. 상기 알데히드류로는 포름알데히드, 벤즈알데히드, 아세트알데히드 등을 사용할 수 있다. 상기 페놀류와 알데히드류와의 축합 반응에는 산성 촉매가 사용될 수 있다.The novolak resin used in the present invention is produced by the polycondensation reaction of a phenol compound and an aldehyde compound. As said phenol, phenol, m-cresol, p-cresol, etc. can be used individually or in mixture of 2 or more types. As the aldehydes, formaldehyde, benzaldehyde, acetaldehyde and the like can be used. An acid catalyst may be used for the condensation reaction of the phenols and aldehydes.

이러한 노볼락 수지의 분자량은 2000 ∼ 12000인 것이 바람직하며, 그 함량은 10 내지 20 중량%로 사용한다. 상기 노볼락 수지의 함량이 10 중량% 미만이면 점도가 너무 낮아 원하는 두께의 도포에 있어서 문제점이 있고, 20 중량%를 초과하면 점도가 너무 높아서 기판의 균일한 코팅이 어려운 문제점이 있다.It is preferable that the molecular weight of such a novolak resin is 2000-12000, and the content is used in 10 to 20weight%. If the content of the novolak resin is less than 10% by weight, the viscosity is too low, there is a problem in the application of the desired thickness, if it exceeds 20% by weight there is a problem that the uniform coating of the substrate is difficult.

특히, 상기 감광성 화합물은 G-선용 감광제 및 I-선용 감광제 화합물을 혼합사용한다. 상기 G-선용 감광제는 디아지드계 화합물로 테트라하이드록시 벤조페논과 2-디아조-1-나프톨-5-술폰산을 에스테르화 반응시켜 제조된 2,3,4,4’-테트라하이드록시벤조페논-1,2-나프토퀴논디아지드-5-설포네이트를 사용하는 것이 바람직하다. 상기 I-선용 감광제는 4,4,4-메틸리덴 트리스 페놀(4,4,4-methylidene tris phenol), 4,4-[(2-히드록시페닐)메틸리덴)]-비스(2,6-디메틸페놀), 4,4-[1-[4-[1-(1,4-히드록시페닐)-1-메틸 에틸] 페닐] 에틸리덴} 비스페놀, 1,1-비스(2,5-디메틸-4-히드록시페닐)아세톤, 및 4,6-비스[1-(4-히드록시페닐)-1-메틸에틸]-1,3-디히드록시벤젠으로 이루어진 군으로부터 선택되는 1 종 또는 2 종 이상의 밸러스트(Ballast)에 2-디아조-1-나프톨-5-술폰산을 에스테르화시킨 감광제를 사용하는 것이 바람직하다.In particular, the photosensitive compound is a mixture of a photosensitive agent for G-rays and a photosensitive compound for I-rays. The G-ray photosensitive agent is a 2,3,4,4'-tetrahydroxybenzophenone prepared by esterifying a tetrahydroxy benzophenone and 2-diazo-1-naphthol-5-sulfonic acid as a diazide compound. Preference is given to using -1,2-naphthoquinonediazide-5-sulfonate. The I-ray photosensitive agent is 4,4,4-methylidene tris phenol (4,4,4-methylidene tris phenol), 4,4-[(2-hydroxyphenyl) methylidene)]-bis (2,6 -Dimethylphenol), 4,4- [1- [4- [1- (1,4-hydroxyphenyl) -1-methyl ethyl] phenyl] ethylidene} bisphenol, 1,1-bis (2,5- 1 type selected from the group consisting of dimethyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) acetone, and 4,6-bis [1- (4-hydroxyphenyl) -1-methylethyl] -1,3-dihydroxybenzene; or Preference is given to using a photosensitizer which has esterified 2-diazo-1-naphthol-5-sulfonic acid in two or more kinds of ballasts.

본 발명은 상기 G-선용 감광제 및 I-선용 감광제를 1:2 내지 2:1의 비율로 블렌딩하여 사용하는 것이 바람직하다. 상기 감광제의 혼합비율이 상기 범위를 벗어나면 원하는 콘트라스트 향상 및 버티컬 프로파일(Vertical Profile)을 얻기가 힘든 문제가 있다. 상기 혼합 감광제의 함량은 10 내지 30 중량%로 사용하는 것이 바람직하며, 감광제의 함량이 10 중량% 미만이면 감도가 너무 빨라 패턴 형성에 불리한 문제가 있고, 30 중량%를 초과하면 감도가 원하는 기준치에 도달하지 못해 노광하는데 시간이 많이 소요되는 문제가 있다.In the present invention, it is preferable to use the G-ray photosensitizer and the I-ray photosensitizer in a ratio of 1: 2 to 2: 1. If the mixing ratio of the photosensitizer is out of the range, there is a problem that it is difficult to obtain a desired contrast enhancement and vertical profile. The content of the mixed photosensitizer is preferably used in an amount of 10 to 30% by weight, and if the content of the photosensitizer is less than 10% by weight, the sensitivity is too fast, thus adversely affecting pattern formation. There is a problem that it takes a long time to expose because it does not reach.

또한, 본 발명의 포토레지스트 조성물은 잔량의 유기용매를 포함한다. 상기 유기용매의 구체적 예를 들면 프로필렌글리콜메틸에테르아세테이트(이하, PGMEA라 칭함), 에틸락테이트(EL), 2-메톡시에틸아세테이트(MMP), 프로필렌글리콜모노메틸에테르(PGME), 3-메톡시부틸아세테이트, 4-부티로락톤 등을 혼합 혹은 단독으로 사용할 수 있다.In addition, the photoresist composition of the present invention contains a residual amount of an organic solvent. Specific examples of the organic solvent include propylene glycol methyl ether acetate (hereinafter referred to as PGMEA), ethyl lactate (EL), 2-methoxyethyl acetate (MMP), propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGME), and 3-methoxy Toxybutyl acetate, 4-butyrolactone, etc. can be mixed or used independently.

이 밖에, 본 발명의 액정표시장치 회로용 포토레지스트 조성물은 필요에 따라서 착색제, 염료, 찰흔 방지제, 가소제, 접착 촉진제, 계면활성제 등의 첨가제를 추가로 첨가하여 기판에 피복함으로써 개별공정의 특성에 따른 성능향상을 도모할 수도 있다.In addition, the photoresist composition for a liquid crystal display circuit of the present invention may be coated with a substrate by adding additives such as colorants, dyes, anti-scratching agents, plasticizers, adhesion promoters, surfactants, and the like, according to the characteristics of individual processes. It can also improve performance.

이하, 실시예 및 비교예를 통하여 본 발명을 더욱 상세하게 설명한다. 단, 하기 실시예는 본 발명을 예시하기 위한 것으로서 본 발명이 하기 실시예에 의하여 한정되는 것은 아니다.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to Examples and Comparative Examples.

Shown in
