According to one embodiment of the invention, a barrier layer having a haze of 2% or less; and a photosensitive resin layer including a photopolymerizable compound and a binder resin including a phthalate derivative; wherein 5 cells/mm ² or less are present in the photosensitive resin layer having a diameter of less than 1 μm. can be

The present inventors have newly developed a photosensitive laminate comprising a barrier layer having a haze of 2% or less and a photosensitive resin layer having 5 cells/mm ² or less of bubbles having a diameter of less than 1 μm, or 0.001 μm or more and less than 1 μm. By using this photosensitive laminate, it is possible to realize high sensitivity to exposure during the manufacturing process of circuit boards, and the reliability during development is increased, so that high density and sensitivity are realized while ensuring high reliability, and the formation of finer wiring is achieved. Possible points were confirmed through experiments and the invention was completed.

The present inventors have confirmed that excellent circuit pattern resolution can be realized in a dry film photoresist manufacturing process using a photosensitive laminate by including a barrier layer having excellent optical properties having a haze of 2% or less. Specifically, as a barrier layer having a haze of 2% or less is included, the barrier layer acts as an oxygen barrier film that blocks oxygen radical reaction, minimizing the formation of foreign substances or bubbles in the photosensitive resin layer. It was confirmed that the resolution and reliability of the resist could be improved, and the present invention was completed.

The haze measurement method is not particularly limited, but may be measured according to the measurement method of ASTM D1003 using, for example, a HAZE METER (model name: NDH7000, Nippon Denshoku Corporation).

When the haze of the barrier layer exceeds 2%, there may be a problem in that the resolution of circuit properties is impaired.

In the photosensitive laminate of the embodiment, the barrier layer has an oxygen permeability of 10 cc/m ² /day or less, or 4 cc/m ² /day or less, or 0.1 cc/m ² /day or more and 4 cc/m ² /day or less. can The method for measuring the oxygen permeability is not particularly limited, but, for example, it may be measured according to the measurement method of ASTM F1927 using OX-Tran (Model 2/61, Mocon Corporation).

As the barrier layer has an oxygen permeability of 10 cc/m ² /day or less, the barrier layer may act as an oxygen barrier film that blocks oxygen radical reaction, and thus formation of foreign substances or bubbles in the photosensitive resin layer is prevented. By minimizing it, the resolution and reliability of the final manufactured dry film photoresist can be improved.

The barrier layer may be formed from a composition for forming a barrier layer, and the composition for forming the barrier layer may include a polyvinyl alcohol resin.

That is, the barrier layer may include a polyvinyl alcohol resin having a weight average molecular weight of 5,000 g/mol to 1,000,000 g/mol, 7,000 g/mol to 50,000 g/mol, or 10,000 g/mol to 30,000 g/mol. have. As the barrier layer includes a polyvinyl alcohol resin having a weight average molecular weight of 10,000 g/mol to 1,000,000 g/mol, a haze of the barrier layer may satisfy 2% or less.

More specifically, the polyvinyl alcohol resin may have a viscosity of 1.0 cP to 10.0 cP, 3.0 cP to 5.0 cP. As the viscosity of the polyvinyl alcohol resin satisfies 1.0 cP to 10.0 cP, the haze of the barrier layer may satisfy 2% or less.

In addition, the composition for forming a barrier layer may include a high boiling point solvent having a boiling point of 115° C. or higher.

Examples of the high boiling point solvent having a boiling point of 115° C. or higher include butanol, dimethylformamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, gamma butyrolactone, butyl capitol, butyl cellosolve, methyl cellosolve, butyl acetate , Diethylene glycol methyl ethyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether, methyl 3-methoxy propionate, ethyl 3-ethoxy propionate, propylene glycol methyl ether pro cionate, dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether, cyclohexanone, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA), and one or more mixed solvents thereof.

Specifically, the composition for forming the barrier layer contains 60 parts by weight or more, 60 parts by weight or more and 200 parts by weight or less, 70 parts by weight or more and 200 parts by weight of the high boiling point solvent having a boiling point of 115° C. or more with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl alcohol resin. It may be included in an amount of 80 parts by weight or more and 200 parts by weight or less, 80 parts by weight or more and 100 parts by weight or less, or 90 parts by weight or more and 100 parts by weight or less.

As the composition for forming the barrier layer contains 60 parts by weight or more of the high boiling point solvent having a boiling point of 115° C. or higher based on 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl alcohol resin, the haze of the barrier layer may satisfy 2% or less, , When the composition for forming the barrier layer contains less than 60 parts by weight of the high boiling point solvent having a boiling point of 115° C. or higher with respect to 100 parts by weight of the polyvinyl alcohol resin, the haze of the barrier layer rapidly increases. can occur

The thickness of the barrier layer and the photosensitive resin layer in the photosensitive laminate is not particularly limited, but as a specific example, the thickness of the barrier layer may be 0.1 μm to 10 μm, or 1 μm to 3 μm, and the thickness of the photosensitive resin layer may be 1 μm to 100 μm, or 5 μm to 50 μm.

The photosensitive laminate of the embodiment may further include a support substrate formed on the barrier layer and having a thickness of 1 μm to 100 μm. As a specific example, the thickness of the supporting substrate may be 1 μm to 100 μm, or 5 μm to 50 μm. That is, the photosensitive laminate of the embodiment may have a laminate structure in which a supporting substrate, a barrier layer, and a photosensitive resin layer are sequentially laminated. The supporting substrate may serve as a kind of carrier in the manufacturing process of the photosensitive laminate. In addition, the supporting substrate may or may not be selectively included in the photosensitive laminate according to a semiconductor manufacturing process to which the photosensitive laminate is applied or a final manufactured product.

In addition, the photosensitive laminate of the embodiment may further include a release layer formed on the photosensitive resin layer and having a thickness of 0.01 μm to 1 m. As a specific example, the thickness of the release layer may be 0.01 μm to 1 m, 1 μm to 100 μm, or 5 μm to 50 μm. That is, the photosensitive laminate of the embodiment may have a laminate structure in which a support substrate, a barrier layer, a photosensitive resin layer, and a release layer are sequentially stacked.

As described above, in the dry film photoresist manufacturing process using the photosensitive laminate, the supporting substrate and the release layer may be removed. As the photosensitive laminate includes a barrier layer having a haze of 2% or less, even if the supporting substrate is removed, the finally manufactured dry film photoresist may implement excellent reliability and resolution.

Specifically, in the photosensitive laminate of one embodiment, the number of bubbles having a diameter of less than 1 μm in the photosensitive resin layer is 5/mm ² or less, or as substantially no bubbles exist, haze of 2% or less It can be applied to the semiconductor manufacturing process in a state in which only the barrier layer having a barrier layer is formed, and thus, even with a thinner thickness, reliability and sensitivity equal to or higher than that of the conventionally known photosensitive laminate can be realized.

In addition, since the photosensitive laminate of the embodiment can be applied to a semiconductor manufacturing process in a state in which a supporting substrate such as a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film is peeled off, separately performing the peeling process of the supporting substrate in the semiconductor manufacturing process It can be omitted, and it is possible to improve the limitations in optical properties, exposure, development, and sensitivity implementation due to the support substrate in a structure in which a supporting substrate such as a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film is laminated or laminated.

On the other hand, the present inventors continued research and development to remove traces of fine bubbles or fine by-products that may occur for various reasons in the manufacturing process, and have a boiling point of 115° C. or higher, as described in detail in the method for manufacturing a photosensitive laminate to be described later. a mixed solvent including a high boiling point solvent having a and a low boiling point solvent having a boiling point of 100°C or less; binder resin; photopolymerizable compounds including phthalate derivatives; and a photoinitiator; using a resin composition including, 5/mm ² or less, or 3/mm ² or less of bubbles having a diameter of less than 1 μm in the photosensitive resin layer.

Further, in the method for producing the photosensitive laminate, in addition to using a mixed solvent including a high boiling point solvent having a boiling point of 115° C. or higher and a low boiling point solvent having a boiling point of 100° C. or lower, a drying rate and/or a drying temperature The amount of microbubbles formed in the photosensitive resin layer can be greatly reduced or substantially absent through adjustment of the .

On the other hand, the number of bubbles having a diameter of less than 1 μm in the photosensitive resin layer may be 5 / mm ² or less, or 3 / mm ² or less, in particular the opposite surface of the interface between the support substrate and the photosensitive resin layer, or Bubbles having a diameter of less than 1 μm toward the outer surface of the photosensitive resin layer may or may not be present in a trace amount, more specifically, from the opposite surface of the interface between the barrier layer and the photosensitive resin layer of the photosensitive resin layer. Within 50% of the total thickness, 3 cells/mm ² or less of cells having a diameter of less than 1 μm may be present.

As a small amount or substantially no air bubbles having a diameter of less than 1 μm are present on the opposite surface of the interface between the barrier layer and the photosensitive resin layer, or toward the outer surface of the photosensitive resin layer, It is possible to form high-density circuits due to increased reliability during development and to reduce defects in the formation of fine wiring. Accordingly, when using the photosensitive laminate, high sensitivity to exposure can be realized, and high-density printed circuit boards can be manufactured. yield can be improved.

In addition, the photosensitive laminate may not only contain a very small amount or substantially not contain the above-mentioned bubbles having a diameter of less than 1 μm, and may not include bubbles having a diameter of 1 μm or more and 5 μm or less.

More specifically, even when the photosensitive resin layer is exposed to ultraviolet light and developed with an alkali solution, defects do not occur or occur over the entire area, and a very small amount may occur. It is not substantially present, and after development, micro-sized defects may be present in a very small amount on the lower surface or inside of the photosensitive resin layer.

Specifically, after exposing the photosensitive resin layer to ultraviolet light and developing with an alkali solution, 3 defects/mm ² or less, or 1/mm ² or less may be observed, and may be substantially absent. The cross-sectional diameter of the defect may be defined as the largest diameter among diameters of the bond defined in a cross-section in one direction on the photosensitive resin layer.

The conditions of the exposure and development are not particularly limited. For example, in the exposure, the wavelength of the light irradiated to the photosensitive laminate is in the range of 340 nm to 420 nm, and the remaining number of steps measured using a 41-step step tablet manufactured by Stouffer Graphic Arts Equipment is 15 steps. It may proceed from 1 minute to 60 minutes. In addition, the development may be carried out by a method such as a spray spray method with an aqueous alkali solution such as Na ₂ CO ₃ having a concentration of 0.1 to 3.0 wt%.

In addition, when the photosensitive laminate is used, higher density and sensitivity can be realized while using lower energy. More specifically, the amount of energy at which the remaining number of steps is 15 steps measured using a 41-step step tablet manufactured by Stouffer Graphic Arts Equipment in a wavelength range of 340 nm to 420 nm of the light irradiated to the photosensitive laminate is 300 mJ/cm 2 It may be less than or equal to 100 mJ/cm 2 , and the resolution after development may be realized to be 15 μm or less, or 10 μm or less, 7 μm or less, or 5 μm or less.

In this process, when the photomask is irradiated with ultraviolet rays, polymerization of the photoresist irradiated with ultraviolet rays may be initiated by the photoinitiator contained in the irradiated area. First, oxygen in the photoresist is consumed, and then the activated monomer is polymerized to cause a crosslinking reaction. After that, a large amount of monomer is consumed and the polymerization reaction can proceed. may exist.

Next, a developing process of removing the unexposed portion of the photoresist is performed. In the case of alkali developable DFR, 0.8 to 1.2 wt% of potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate aqueous solution may be used as a developer. In this process, the photoresist of the unexposed part is washed away by the saponification reaction of the carboxylic acid of the binder polymer and the developer in the developer, and the cured photoresist may remain on the copper surface.
