Description

Photosensitive transfer material, method for producing resin pattern, method for producing circuit wiring, and method for producing touch panel

Technical Field

The invention relates to a photosensitive transfer material, a method for manufacturing a resin pattern, a method for manufacturing a circuit wiring, and a method for manufacturing a touch panel.

Background

In a display device (an organic Electroluminescence (EL) display device, a liquid crystal display device, or the like) including a touch panel such as a capacitive input device, a conductive layer pattern such as an electrode pattern of a sensor corresponding to a visual recognition portion, a wiring of a peripheral wiring portion, and a wiring of a lead-out wiring portion is provided inside the touch panel.

In general, in the formation of a patterned layer, the number of steps for obtaining a desired pattern shape is small, and therefore, a method of exposing a layer of a photosensitive resin composition provided on an arbitrary substrate through a mask having a desired pattern by using a photosensitive transfer material and then developing the exposed layer is widely used.

As a conventional photosensitive resin composition, a composition described in patent document 1 is known.

Patent document 1 discloses a photosensitive resin composition characterized in that after an exposure curing reaction is performed so that the reaction rate of an ethylenically unsaturated compound contained as a photosensitive component in an exposure surface becomes 70%, the reaction rate of the unsaturated compound of the entire plate remains substantially unchanged when the plate is stored in a dark place, and the difference between the partial reaction rates in the exposure surface and the non-exposure surface remains 20% or more after 24 hours.

Disclosure of Invention

Technical problem to be solved by the invention

In a wiring formation process using a photosensitive transfer material, when a photosensitive resin layer bonded to a substrate having a conductive layer is exposed, a difference may occur in the time elapsed from the completion of exposure to development in each photosensitive resin layer, and the difference may be about several hours in some cases. In addition, the exposed photosensitive resin layer may not be immediately developed but left for a certain period of time, and in this case, the elapsed time from the completion of exposure may be further prolonged. In particular, in the case of performing the roll-to-roll process, since the time required for transferring from the roll unwinding section to the roll core section is long after the exposure, the time tends to be long.

An object of an embodiment of the present invention is to provide a photosensitive transfer material in which a change in line width of a resin pattern is small with the lapse of a post-exposure standing time.

Mu.m. The formed coating film of the thermoplastic resin composition was dried at 80℃for 40 seconds, thereby forming a thermoplastic resin layer.

The intermediate layer composition was applied to the surface of the formed thermoplastic resin layer by using a slit nozzle so that the coating width became 1.0m and the layer thickness after drying became 1.2. Mu.m. The coating film of the intermediate layer composition was dried at 80 ℃ for 40 seconds, thereby forming an intermediate layer.

The photosensitive resin compositions having the compositions shown in table 1 were applied to the surface of the intermediate layer formed using a slit nozzle so that the coating width became 1.0m and the layer thickness after drying became the layer thicknesses shown in table 1. The coated film of the photosensitive resin composition was dried at 80 ℃ for 40 seconds, thereby forming a photosensitive resin layer.

The photosensitive transfer materials of examples and comparative examples were produced by pressing a PET film (manufactured by tolay INDUSTRIES, INC., lumirror16QS 62) as a protective film on the surface of the formed photosensitive resin layer.

Example 101 (second: PET stripping Exposure)

An ITO film was formed as a conductive layer of the second layer by sputtering on a PET substrate having a thickness of 100 μm, and a copper film was formed as a conductive layer of the first layer by vacuum evaporation with a thickness of 200nm thereon, thereby producing a circuit-forming substrate.

The photosensitive transfer material obtained in example 1 (laminating roller temperature 120 ℃, line pressure 0.8MPa, line speed 1.0 m/min.) was laminated on the copper layer. The laminated laminate was subjected to contact pattern exposure using a photomask provided with a pattern a shown in fig. 3, which has a structure in which a conductive layer pad was connected in one direction without peeling off a temporary support. Thereafter, the temporary support was peeled off, and developed and washed with water to obtain a pattern a. Next, after etching the copper layer using a copper etching solution (KANTO CHEMICAL co., inc. Cu-02), the ITO layer was etched using an ITO etching solution (KANTO CHEMICAL co., inc. ITO-02), whereby a substrate on which both copper and ITO were drawn by pattern a was obtained.

The remaining photosensitive resin layer (pattern a) was peeled off using a peeling liquid (KANTO CHEMICAL co., inc. KP-301), and the photosensitive transfer material obtained in example 1 (laminating roller temperature 120 ℃, line pressure 0.8MPa, line speed 1.0 m/min.) was laminated again on the copper layer.

Next, in an aligned state, pattern exposure was performed using a photomask of a pattern B shown in fig. 4, and development and water washing were performed. Thereafter, the copper layer was etched with Cu-02, and the remaining photosensitive resin layer (pattern B) was peeled off with a peeling liquid (KANTO CHEMICAL CO., INC. KP-301).

The obtained circuit wiring board was observed under a microscope, and was found to be a perfect pattern without peeling off, chipping, or the like.

In the pattern a shown in fig. 3, the gray portion GR is a light shielding portion, the EX is an exposure portion, and the dotted portion DL virtually represents an alignment frame.

In the pattern B shown in fig. 4, similarly to fig. 3, the gray portion GR is a light shielding portion, the EX is an exposure portion, and the dotted portion DL virtually represents an alignment frame.
