Description

レジスト残渣除去液及びこれを用いる導体パターン付き基板材の形成方法Resist residue remover and method for forming substrate material with conductive pattern using the same
 本件出願に係る発明は、レジスト残渣除去液及びこれを用いる導体パターン付き基板材の形成方法に関する。 The invention pertaining to this application relates to a resist residue remover and a method for forming a substrate material with a conductive pattern using the same.
 従来、プリント配線板の回路形成工程等において、基板材上にドライフィルムフォトレジスト(以下、ドライフィルムレジストと称する。)を配置して露光及び現像を行い、基板材上にレジストパターンを形成し、当該レジストパターンを用いて導体パターンを形成する方法が行われている。 Conventionally, in the circuit formation process of a printed wiring board, etc., a dry film photoresist (hereinafter referred to as dry film resist) is placed on a substrate material, exposed and developed, a resist pattern is formed on the substrate material, A method of forming a conductor pattern using the resist pattern is performed.
 この現像工程において、ネガ型のドライフィルムレジストの場合、露光部のフォトレジスト材が現像液を吸収して膨潤し、レジストパターン間にブリッジ部ができることがある。そして、これを回避する目的で現像工程の処理時間を短くすると、フォトレジスト材の未露光部に現像残りが生じる場合がある。その結果、レジストパターンの側面に意図しないレジスト裾引き部が生じたり、基板材上の未露光部にフォトレジスト材が残存するなどして、レジスト残渣(スカムとも称される。)が発生する。基板材上にこのようなレジスト残渣があると、フォトレジストの解像度が低下して導体パターンの高精細化を妨げることになる。また、導体パターンの側面下部において、導体パターン底面と基板材表面との間に隙間(アンダーカット部)が生じて導体パターンの密着性が低下し、製品の信頼性に影響を与えるおそれがある。 In this development process, in the case of a negative dry film resist, the photoresist material in the exposed area absorbs the developer and swells, sometimes forming bridges between the resist patterns. If the processing time of the developing step is shortened in order to avoid this problem, undeveloped portions of the photoresist material may remain undeveloped. As a result, resist residues (also referred to as scum) are generated, such as unintended resist trailing portions on the side surfaces of the resist pattern and photoresist material remaining in unexposed portions on the substrate material. If such a resist residue remains on the substrate material, the resolution of the photoresist is lowered, which hinders the improvement of the fineness of the conductor pattern. In addition, at the lower part of the side surface of the conductor pattern, a gap (undercut portion) is generated between the bottom surface of the conductor pattern and the surface of the substrate material, which may reduce the adhesion of the conductor pattern and affect the reliability of the product.
 そこで、基板材上からレジスト残渣を除去する簡便な方法として、レジスト残渣除去液を用いたウエットプロセスが提案されている。例えば、特許文献1には、メルカプト基又は亜硫酸基を有する還元剤及びアニオン性界面活性剤よりなる群から選ばれる化合物を有効成分として含有するレジスト残渣除去液が開示されている。 Therefore, a wet process using a resist residue remover has been proposed as a simple method for removing resist residues from substrate materials. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a resist residue remover containing, as an active ingredient, a compound selected from the group consisting of a reducing agent having a mercapto group or a sulfite group and an anionic surfactant.

 しかし、特許文献1のレジスト残渣除去液を用いてレジスト裾引き部等のレジスト残渣を除去する処理を行うと、目的とする部分が除去できていない場合があり、市場要求に合わない製品が生じるという不具合があった。 However, when the resist residue removal solution of Patent Document 1 is used to remove the resist residue such as the resist skirting portion, the target portion may not be removed, resulting in a product that does not meet the market demand. There was a problem.

A.本件出願に係るレジスト残渣除去液の形態
 本件出願に係るレジスト残渣除去液は、基本的に環状オリゴマー及び水の組成を備える。以下では、このレジスト残渣除去液について、主としてネガ型のドライフィルムレジストを用いた場合を想定して説明する。本件出願において、レジスト残渣とは、プリント配線板の回路形成工程等におけるフォトレジスト材の現像工程で生じる、レジストパターン側面のレジスト裾引き部、レジストパターン表面上の未硬化のレジスト付着物及び、基板材上の未露光部のレジスト付着物等の意図しないレジスト残存物等をいう。また、レジスト残渣除去液とは、現像工程後に基板材上に残存する当該レジスト残渣を除去するための薬液をいう。このレジスト残渣除去液が上述の成分を含むものであると、フォトレジスト材の現像工程で生じるレジスト裾引き部等のレジスト残渣を安定的かつ良好に除去することができる。
A. Form of resist residue remover according to the present application The resist residue remover according to the present application basically comprises a cyclic oligomer and water. In the following, the resist residue remover will be described mainly assuming that a negative dry film resist is used. In this application, the resist residue means the resist trailing part on the side of the resist pattern, the uncured resist deposit on the resist pattern surface, and the substrate, which are generated in the development process of the photoresist material in the circuit formation process of the printed wiring board. This refers to unintended resist residue such as resist deposits on unexposed areas on a plate. Further, the resist residue remover means a chemical solution for removing the resist residue remaining on the substrate material after the development process. When the resist residue remover contains the above components, it is possible to stably and satisfactorily remove the resist residue such as the resist skirting portion generated in the developing step of the photoresist material.
A-1.環状オリゴマー
 本件出願のレジスト残渣除去液が含有する環状オリゴマーは、回路形成用のフォトレジスト材の現像工程で生じるレジスト残渣を除去するための主剤である。この環状オリゴマーの種類に特段の制限はない。
A-1. Cyclic Oligomer The cyclic oligomer contained in the resist residue remover of the present application is a main ingredient for removing resist residue generated in the development process of a photoresist material for circuit formation. There are no particular restrictions on the type of this cyclic oligomer.
 ここで、上述の環状オリゴマーとして、シクロデキストリン類、クラウンエーテル類、カリックスアレーン類が挙げられる。以下ではまず、環状オリゴマーにシクロデキストリンを用いる場合について説明する。シクロデキストリンは、工業的に広く用いられる物質であって、代表的には結合するブドウ糖の数によってα(6量体)、β(7量体)、γ(8量体)の三種類が存在する。本件出願のレジスト残渣除去液に用いるシクロデキストリンの種類には、特段の制限はない。そのため、本件出願のレジスト残渣除去液は、α-シクロデキストリン、β-シクロデキストリン及びγ-シクロデキストリン等のいずれかのシクロデキストリンのうち少なくとも一つを含有していればよい。 Here, the above-mentioned cyclic oligomers include cyclodextrins, crown ethers, and calixarenes. First, the case where cyclodextrin is used as the cyclic oligomer will be described below. Cyclodextrin is a substance widely used industrially, and there are typically three types of α (hexamer), β (7mer), and γ (octamer) depending on the number of bound glucose. do. The type of cyclodextrin used in the resist residue remover of the present application is not particularly limited. Therefore, the resist residue remover of the present application may contain at least one cyclodextrin such as α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin and γ-cyclodextrin.
 また、本件出願のレジスト残渣除去液が含有する環状オリゴマーであるシクロデキストリンは、β又はγのシクロデキストリンであることが好ましく、β-シクロデキストリンであることがより好ましい。β又はγのシクロデキストリンを含有するレジスト残渣除去液であれば、より安定的に再現性良くレジスト残渣を除去することができ、また、β-シクロデキストリンを含有するレジスト残渣除去液であれば、最も安定的に当該効果を得ることができるためである。 In addition, the cyclic oligomer cyclodextrin contained in the resist residue removing solution of the present application is preferably β or γ cyclodextrin, more preferably β-cyclodextrin. A resist residue remover containing β or γ cyclodextrin can more stably remove resist residues with good reproducibility, and a resist residue remover containing β-cyclodextrin can This is because the effect can be obtained most stably.
 そして、このシクロデキストリンの含有量は、0.01質量%以上であることが好ましい。シクロデキストリンの含有量が0.01質量%未満であると、現像工程で生じるレジスト残渣を安定的に除去できない傾向にあるため好ましくない。シクロデキストリンの含有量の上限値に特段の制限はないが、溶媒である水への溶解度を超えても、レジスト残渣除去性能が向上するものでもなく、単なる資源の無駄となるため好ましくない。そのため、実験的にみれば、本件出願のレジスト残渣除去液が、シクロデキストリンを20質量%を超えて含有していても仕方がないと理解できる。ただし、これらの数値は、不可避不純物を含まないものとして記載している。 And the content of this cyclodextrin is preferably 0.01% by mass or more. If the content of cyclodextrin is less than 0.01% by mass, it is not preferable because the resist residue generated in the development process tends to be unable to be stably removed. Although there is no particular upper limit for the content of cyclodextrin, exceeding the solubility in water, which is the solvent, does not improve the resist residue removal performance and is simply a waste of resources, which is undesirable. Therefore, experimentally, it can be understood that there is no point in containing more than 20% by mass of cyclodextrin in the resist residue remover of the present application. However, these numerical values are described assuming that they do not include unavoidable impurities.
 次に、環状オリゴマーにクラウンエーテル、カリックスアレーンを用いる場合について説明する。本件出願のレジスト残渣除去液に用いるクラウンエーテル、カリックスアレーンの種類には、特段の制限はない。そのため、工業的に入手が容易な12-クラウン-4-エーテル、15-クラウン-5-エーテル、18-クラウン-6-エーテル、24-クラウン-8-エーテル、カリックス[4]アレーン、カリックス[6]アレーン及びカリックス[8]アレーン等の化合物のうち少なくとも一つを含有していればよい Next, the case where crown ether and calixarene are used as cyclic oligomers will be explained. There are no particular restrictions on the types of crown ethers and calixarene used in the resist residue remover of the present application. Therefore, industrially easily available 12-crown-4-ether, 15-crown-5-ether, 18-crown-6-ether, 24-crown-8-ether, calix[4]arene, calix[6 ] at least one of compounds such as arene and calix [8] arene
 また、上述の環状オリゴマーとしてクラウンエーテルを採用する場合は、18-クラウン-6-エーテルであることが好ましい。18-クラウン-6-エーテルは比較的安価であるためコスト面で優れていると共に、当該物質を含有するレジスト残渣除去液は、より安定的に再現性良くレジスト残渣を除去することができるためである。 Also, when a crown ether is employed as the above-mentioned cyclic oligomer, it is preferably 18-crown-6-ether. This is because 18-crown-6-ether is relatively inexpensive and therefore excellent in terms of cost, and a resist residue remover containing the substance can more stably and reproducibly remove resist residues. be.
 そして、クラウンエーテルの含有量は、0.01質量%~5質量%であることが好ましい。クラウンエーテルの含有量が0.01質量%未満であると、現像工程で生じるレジスト残渣を安定的に除去できない傾向にあるため好ましくない。クラウンエーテルの含有量の上限値については、上述のシクロデキストリンと同様に特段の制限はないものの、含有量が5質量%を超えると、溶媒である水に対する溶解度を超過する一方でレジスト残渣除去性能が向上するものでもなく、単なる資源の無駄となるため好ましくない。ただし、これらの数値は、不可避不純物を含まないものとして記載している。 The crown ether content is preferably 0.01% by mass to 5% by mass. A crown ether content of less than 0.01% by mass is not preferable because it tends to make it impossible to stably remove resist residues generated in the development process. The upper limit of the crown ether content is not particularly limited as in the case of the cyclodextrin described above. It is not desirable because it does not improve performance and is a mere waste of resources. However, these numerical values are described assuming that they do not include unavoidable impurities.
 カリックスアレーンの含有量は、0.01質量%~5質量%であることが好ましい。カリックスアレーンの含有量が0.01質量%未満であると、現像工程で生じるレジスト残渣を安定的に除去できない傾向にあるため好ましくない。カリックスアレーンの含有量の上限値については、上述のシクロデキストリンと同様に特段の制限はないものの、含有量が5質量%を超えると、溶媒である水に対する溶解度を超過する一方でレジスト残渣除去性能が向上するものでもなく、単なる資源の無駄となるため好ましくない。ただし、これらの数値は、不可避不純物を含まないものとして記載している。 The content of calixarene is preferably 0.01% by mass to 5% by mass. If the content of calixarene is less than 0.01% by mass, it tends to be difficult to stably remove resist residues generated in the development step, which is not preferable. The upper limit of the content of calixarene is not particularly limited as in the case of cyclodextrin described above. It is not desirable because it does not improve performance and is a mere waste of resources. However, these numerical values are described assuming that they do not include unavoidable impurities.
A-2.アルカリ成分
 本件出願のレジスト残渣除去液は、アルカリ成分を含有してもよい。回路基板形成用のフォトレジスト材の現像工程で用いる現像剤液には、炭酸ナトリウム等のアルカリ成分が主剤として用いられている。このアルカリ成分が、基板材上に残存するなどしてレジスト残渣除去工程に持ち込まれると、当該工程の処理溶液中に、このアルカリ成分が混入し、処理溶液であるレジスト残渣除去液のpHが変動して安定的に処理を行うことが困難になる。そのため、レジスト残渣除去液が上述のアルカリ成分を予め含むものであると、レジスト残渣除去工程時に、レジスト残渣除去液のpH変動を抑制することができ、より安定的かつ良好にレジスト残渣除去効果を得ることができる。
A-2. Alkaline component The resist residue remover of the present application may contain an alkaline component. An alkali component such as sodium carbonate is used as a main component in a developer solution used in the development process of a photoresist material for forming a circuit board. When this alkaline component remains on the substrate material and is brought into the resist residue removing process, the alkaline component is mixed in the processing solution in the process, and the pH of the resist residue removing solution, which is the processing solution, fluctuates. Therefore, it becomes difficult to perform stable processing. Therefore, if the resist residue remover contains the above-described alkaline component in advance, it is possible to suppress pH fluctuations of the resist residue remover during the resist residue removal step, and to obtain a more stable and favorable resist residue removal effect. can be done.
 ここで、上述のアルカリ成分として、現像剤液の主剤として公知である炭酸ナトリウム、テトラメチルアンモニウム、水酸化ナトリウム等が挙げられる。本件出願のレジスト残渣除去液がアルカリ成分を含有する場合、これらのアルカリ化合物のうち少なくとも一種を含有していればよい。そして、このアルカリ成分の含有量は、0.001質量%~1質量%であることが好ましい。アルカリ成分の含有量が0.001質量%未満であると、処理溶液のpH変動を抑制する効果が得られないため好ましくない。一方、アルカリ成分の含有量が1質量%を超えると、レジストパターンに対する意図しない浸食がおこる傾向にあり、レジスト残渣除去性能も向上しないため好ましくない。ただし、これらの数値は、不可避不純物を含まないものとして記載している。 Here, examples of the above-mentioned alkaline component include sodium carbonate, tetramethylammonium, sodium hydroxide, etc., which are known as main ingredients of developer solutions. When the resist residue remover of the present application contains an alkaline component, it may contain at least one of these alkaline compounds. The content of this alkaline component is preferably 0.001% by mass to 1% by mass. If the content of the alkali component is less than 0.001% by mass, the effect of suppressing pH fluctuation of the processing solution cannot be obtained, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the content of the alkali component exceeds 1% by mass, the resist pattern tends to be unintentionally eroded, and the resist residue removal performance is not improved, which is not preferable. However, these numerical values are described assuming that they do not include unavoidable impurities.
A-3.レジスト残渣除去液の調製方法
 本件出願に係るレジスト残渣除去液の調製方法について、簡単に説明する。本件出願のレジスト残渣除去液は、従来公知の方法を用いて調製すればよい。例えば、溶媒である水にシクロデキストリン等の環状オリゴマーを接触させ、攪拌器等を用いて攪拌を行い溶解して得ることができる。ここで、レジスト残渣除去液の調製に際し、必要に応じて予め当該レジスト残渣除去液に消泡剤等を加えることもできる。また、当該レジスト残渣除去液における水の温度は、シクロデキストリン等の環状オリゴマーの溶解促進等の目的で、室温又は60℃以下の温度とすることができる。
A-3. Method for Preparing Resist Residue Remover Solution A method for preparing the resist residue remover solution according to the present application will be briefly described. The resist residue remover of the present application may be prepared using a conventionally known method. For example, it can be obtained by bringing a cyclic oligomer such as cyclodextrin into contact with water, which is a solvent, and stirring it using a stirrer or the like to dissolve it. Here, when preparing the resist residue remover, an antifoaming agent or the like can be added in advance to the resist residue remover as necessary. The temperature of water in the resist residue remover can be room temperature or 60° C. or lower for the purpose of promoting dissolution of cyclic oligomers such as cyclodextrin.
B.本件出願に係るレジスト残渣除去液を用いる導体パターン付き基板材の形成方法の形態
 本件出願に係る導体パターン付き基板材の形成方法は、上述のレジスト残渣除去液を用いる方法であって、以下の工程A~工程Cを含むものである。
B. Form of method for forming a substrate material with a conductive pattern using the resist residue remover according to the present application The method for forming a substrate material with a conductive pattern according to the present application is a method using the above-described resist residue remover, comprising the following steps: It includes steps A to C.
工程A: 基板材の表面にレジストパターンを施してレジストパターン付き基板材を得たのち、該表面を該レジスト残渣除去液と接触させて処理するレジスト残渣除去工程。 Process A: A resist residue removal process in which a resist pattern is applied to the surface of a substrate material to obtain a substrate material with a resist pattern, and then the surface is brought into contact with the resist residue remover for treatment.
 ここで、上述の工程Aにおける、レジスト残渣除去液による基板材表面の処理方法としては、スプレー噴霧、浸漬等が挙げられる。このうちスプレー噴霧は、レジスト残渣除去液に基板材表面を接触させて静置又は揺動させる浸漬法と比べて、より精密なレジストパターン付き基板材表面に対しても隅々まで当該除去液を接触させることができるため好ましい。また、噴霧に用いるスプレー装置のノズルがスリット形状であると、より効率的に基板材表面にレジスト残渣除去液を接触させることができるため好ましい。 Here, the method of treating the surface of the substrate material with the resist residue remover in the above-described step A includes spraying, immersion, and the like. Among these methods, spray spraying is more effective than the immersion method in which the surface of the substrate material is brought into contact with the resist residue remover and left stationary or shaken. It is preferable because it can be brought into contact. Further, it is preferable that the nozzle of the spray device used for the spraying has a slit shape, since the resist residue removing liquid can be brought into contact with the surface of the substrate material more efficiently.
 そして、上述の工程Aにおける、レジスト残渣除去液による基板材表面の処理時間は、5秒間~10分間であることが好ましい。処理時間が5秒間より短いと、レジスト残渣除去効果が得られない傾向にあるため好ましくない。一方、処理時間が10分間を超えても、レジスト残渣除去性能が向上するものでもなく、製品の生産性を低下させる要因となるため好ましくない。更に、上述の工程Aにおけるレジスト残渣除去液の液温は、15℃~40℃であることが好ましい。液温が15℃より低いと、レジスト残渣除去性能が低下する傾向にあるため好ましくない。一方、液温が40℃を超えると、レジストパターンに対する意図しない浸食がおこる傾向にあり、レジスト残渣除去性能も向上しないため好ましくない。次に、工程B及び工程Cについて説明する。 In the above step A, the treatment time of the substrate material surface with the resist residue remover is preferably 5 seconds to 10 minutes. If the treatment time is shorter than 5 seconds, the effect of removing the resist residue tends not to be obtained, which is not preferable. On the other hand, even if the treatment time exceeds 10 minutes, the resist residue removing performance is not improved, and it is a factor in lowering the productivity of the product, which is not preferable. Furthermore, it is preferable that the liquid temperature of the resist residue remover in the above step A is 15.degree. C. to 40.degree. If the liquid temperature is lower than 15° C., the resist residue removing performance tends to be lowered, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the liquid temperature exceeds 40° C., the resist pattern tends to be unintentionally corroded, and the resist residue removing performance is not improved, which is not preferable. Next, process B and process C will be described.
工程B: 上述の工程Aで得たレジストパターン付き基板材の表面に無電解めっきを施して金属皮膜付き基板材を得る無電解めっき工程。
工程C: 工程Bで得た金属皮膜付き基板材の表面からレジストパターンを除去して金属皮膜からなる導体パターン付き基板材を得るレジスト除去工程。
Step B: An electroless plating step of applying electroless plating to the surface of the substrate material with the resist pattern obtained in the above step A to obtain a substrate material with a metal film.
Step C: A resist removing step of removing the resist pattern from the surface of the substrate material with the metal film obtained in the step B to obtain a substrate material with a conductive pattern made of a metal film.
 上述の工程B及び工程Cには、公知の方法を採用すればよく、処理条件等に特段の制限はない。そのため、工程Bの無電解めっき処理は、基板材表面に市販の無電解銅めっき液等を浸漬等の方法で接触させて行えばよい。また、工程Cのレジストパターン除去処理は、基板材表面に市販のアルカリ性レジスト材除去液等をスプレー噴霧、浸漬等により接触させて行うことができる。 A known method may be adopted for the above-mentioned steps B and C, and there are no particular restrictions on the treatment conditions.

<Comparison between Examples and Comparative Examples>
1 to 3 show electron microscope observation images of resist patterns on substrate materials in Examples and Comparative Examples. As a result, the resist pattern of Example 2 shown in FIG. 1 has a desired shape and a smooth surface without resist residues such as resist skirting portions on the side surfaces and uncured resist deposits on the surface. there were. Although not shown, the resist patterns of Examples 1 and 3 to 8 also have good surfaces with no resist residue, as in Example 2, from electron microscope observation images. It could be confirmed. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1 shown in FIG. 2 and Comparative Example 2 shown in FIG. became a thing.
 次に、図4及び図5として、実施例及び比較例における基板材上の導体パターンの電子顕微鏡観察像を示す。結果として、図4の(A)に示す実施例2と、同図の(B)~(E)に示す実施例5~実施例8との導体パターンは、基板材表面と導体パターン底面との間に殆ど隙間が生じておらず、密着性及び製品の信頼性に優れるものであった。図示は省略するが、実施例1、実施例3及び実施例4の導体パターンについても、実施例2及び実施例5~実施例8と同様に、アンダーカット部が殆ど生じない密着性及び製品の信頼性に優れるものであることが、電子顕微鏡観察像から確認できた。一方、図5の(A)に示す比較例1と、同図の(B)及び(C)に示す比較例3及び比較例4とは、基板材表面と導体パターン底面との間に、レジストパターンの側面に残存したレジスト裾引き部等に起因する浮きや隙間であるアンダーカット部が生じており、密着性及び製品の信頼性が低いものとなった。 Next, FIGS. 4 and 5 show electron microscope observation images of the conductor patterns on the substrate materials in the example and the comparative example. As a result, the conductor patterns of Example 2 shown in FIG. 4A and Examples 5 to 8 shown in FIGS. There was almost no gap between them, and the adhesiveness and reliability of the product were excellent. Although illustration is omitted, the conductor patterns of Examples 1, 3, and 4, as well as Example 2 and Examples 5 to 8, exhibited adhesion and product quality with almost no undercuts. It was confirmed from an electron microscope observation image that it was excellent in reliability. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1 shown in FIG. 5A and Comparative Examples 3 and 4 shown in FIGS. Undercut portions, which are floats and gaps, were generated due to resist skirting portions remaining on the side surfaces of the pattern, and the adhesion and reliability of the product were low.
 続いて、本件出願のレジスト残渣除去液が有するレジスト裾引き部等のレジスト残渣除去性能をより詳細に評価するために、上述の実施例1~実施例8及び比較例1~比較例4の条件で各3回試験を行い、ドライフィルムレジストの裾引き量及びその数値のばらつきを測定した。ここで、「ドライフィルムレジストの裾引き量」とは、電子顕微鏡観察像に基づき導体パターンの両側面から各々測定した、導体パターンと基板材表面との間に生じた隙間の長さ、即ち導体パターンにおけるアンダーカット部の長さである。図6に、抜粋してその評価結果を示す。実施例2及び実施例5~実施例8の条件で形成した基板材上の導体パターンは、いずれもドライフィルムレジストの裾引き量が0.2μm以下と短く、試験ごとの数値のばらつきも小さかった。また、同様に行った上述の他の各試験で得た測定結果によれば、実施例1、実施例3及び実施例4の導体パターンについても、実施例2及び実施例5~実施例8と同様に、ドライフィルムレジストの裾引き量が0.2μm以下と短く、試験ごとの数値のばらつきも小さかった。一方、比較例1、比較例3及び比較例4の条件で形成した導体パターンは、ドライフィルムレジストの裾引き量が長く、試験ごとの数値のばらつきも大きかった。 Subsequently, in order to evaluate the resist residue removal performance such as the resist skirting part possessed by the resist residue remover of the present application in more detail, the conditions of Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 described above , and the amount of skirting of the dry film resist and the variation in the numerical values were measured. Here, the "footing amount of the dry film resist" is the length of the gap generated between the conductor pattern and the substrate material surface, measured from both sides of the conductor pattern based on the electron microscope observation image, that is, the conductor It is the length of the undercut part in the pattern. FIG. 6 shows excerpts of the evaluation results. In the conductor patterns formed on the substrate material under the conditions of Example 2 and Examples 5 to 8, the trailing amount of the dry film resist was as short as 0.2 μm or less, and the variation in numerical values for each test was small. . Further, according to the measurement results obtained in the other tests performed in the same manner, the conductor patterns of Examples 1, 3, and 4 were as good as those of Examples 2 and 5 to 8. Similarly, the amount of footing of the dry film resist was as short as 0.2 μm or less, and the variation in numerical values for each test was small. On the other hand, the conductor patterns formed under the conditions of Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 3, and Comparative Example 4 had a long trailing amount of the dry film resist, and the variation in numerical values for each test was large.
 これらの結果から理解できるように、本件出願のレジスト残渣除去液は、フォトレジスト材の現像工程で生じるレジスト残渣を安定的かつ良好に除去することができた。そして、本件出願のレジスト残渣除去液を用いて現像工程後の基板材を処理することにより、導体パターンにアンダーカット部が極めて発生しにくく基板材表面との密着性及び製品の信頼性が高い導体パターン付き基板材を形成することができた。特に、β-シクロデキストリン又はγ-シクロデキストリンを主剤とするレジスト残渣除去液を採用した実施例2、実施例3、実施例6及び実施例7は、レジスト残渣の除去と、密着性及び製品の信頼性が高い導体パターン付き基板材の形成とにおいて、より優れた効果を奏し、β-シクロデキストリンを主剤とするレジスト残渣除去液を採用した実施例2及び実施例6は、これらの点において最も優れた効果を奏するものであった。 As can be understood from these results, the resist residue remover of the present application was able to stably and satisfactorily remove the resist residue generated in the development process of the photoresist material. Then, by treating the substrate material after the development process using the resist residue remover of the present application, the conductor pattern is extremely unlikely to have an undercut portion, and the conductor has high adhesion to the surface of the substrate material and high product reliability. A substrate material with a pattern could be formed. In particular, Examples 2, 3, 6, and 7, in which a resist residue remover containing β-cyclodextrin or γ-cyclodextrin as a main ingredient, was used for removal of resist residue, adhesion, and product quality. Examples 2 and 6, in which a resist residue remover containing β-cyclodextrin as a main component, is used, exhibiting superior effects in forming a substrate material with a highly reliable conductive pattern, are the most excellent in these respects. It was an excellent effect.
 本件出願のレジスト残渣除去液は、フォトレジスト材の現像工程で生じるレジスト裾引き部等、不要な部分に残存するレジスト残渣を安定的かつ良好に除去することができるため、プリント配線基板の回路形成の精度を飛躍的に高めることができ、高品質の回路基板の提供を可能とする。 Since the resist residue remover of the present application can stably and satisfactorily remove the resist residue remaining in unnecessary portions such as the resist skirting portion generated in the development process of the photoresist material, it is suitable for circuit formation of printed wiring boards. accuracy can be dramatically improved, making it possible to provide high-quality circuit boards.
