Definitions
- the present invention is directed to curable polymeric materials. More specifically, the present invention is directed to high performance polymers with photosensitivity-imparting groups, processes for the preparation thereof, and improved photoresist and improved thermal ink jet printheads containing these materials.
- One embodiment of the present invention is directed to a composition which comprises a polymer containing at least some monomer repeat units with photosensitivity-imparting substituents which enable crosslinking or chain extension of the polymer upon exposure to actinic radiation, said polymer being of the formula
- v is an integer of from 1 to about 20
- u is an integer of from 1 to about 20
- n is an integer representing the number of repeating monomer units, wherein said photosensitivity-imparting substituents are allyl ether groups, epoxy groups, or mixtures thereof.
- Ink jet printing systems generally are of two types: continuous stream and drop-on-demand.
- continuous stream ink jet systems ink is emitted in a continuous stream under pressure through at least one orifice or nozzle. The stream is perturbed, causing it to break up into droplets at a fixed distance from the orifice. At the break-up point, the droplets are charged in accordance with digital data signals and passed through an electrostatic field which adjusts the trajectory of each droplet in order to direct it to a gutter for recirculation or a specific location on a recording medium.
- drop-on-demand systems a droplet is expelled from an orifice directly to a position on a recording medium in accordance with digital data signals. A droplet is not formed or expelled unless it is to be placed on the recording medium.
- drop-on-demand systems require no ink recovery, charging, or deflection, the system is much simpler than the continuous stream type.
- drop-on-demand ink jet systems There are different types of drop-on-demand ink jet systems.
- One type of drop-on-demand system has as its major components an ink filled channel or passageway having a nozzle on one end and a piezoelectric transducer near the other end to produce pressure pulses.
- the relatively large size of the transducer prevents close spacing of the nozzles, and physical limitations of the transducer result in low ink drop velocity. Low drop velocity seriously diminishes tolerances for drop velocity variation and directionality, thus impacting the system's ability to produce high quality copies.
- Drop-on-demand systems which use piezoelectric devices to expel the droplets also suffer the disadvantage of a slow printing speed.
- the other type of drop-on-demand system is known as thermal ink jet, or bubble jet, and produces high velocity droplets and allows very close spacing of nozzles.
- the major components of this type of drop-on-demand system are an ink filled channel having a nozzle on one end and a heat generating resistor near the nozzle.
- Printing signals representing digital information originate an electric current pulse in a resistive layer within each ink passageway near the orifice or nozzle, causing the ink in the immediate vicinity to vaporize almost instantaneously and create a bubble.
- the ink at the orifice is forced out as a propelled droplet as the bubble expands.
- the drop-on-demand ink jet printers provide simpler, lower cost devices than their continuous stream counterparts, and yet have substantially the same high speed printing capability.
- the operating sequence of the bubble jet system begins with a current pulse through the resistive layer in the ink filled channel, the resistive layer being in close proximity to the orifice or nozzle for that channel. Heat is transferred from the resistor to the ink. The ink becomes superheated far above its normal boiling point, and for water based ink, finally reaches the critical temperature for bubble formation or nucleation of around 280° C. Once nucleated, the bubble or water vapor thermally isolates the ink from the heater and no further heat can be applied to the ink. This bubble expands until all the heat stored in the ink in excess of the normal boiling point diffuses away or is used to convert liquid to vapor, which removes heat due to heat of vaporization.
- the present invention is suitable for ink jet printing processes, including drop-on-demand systems such as thermal ink jet printing, piezoelectric drop-on-demand printing, and the like.
- a printhead In ink jet printing, a printhead is usually provided having one or more ink-filled channels communicating with an ink supply chamber at one end and having an opening at the opposite end, referred to as a nozzle. These printheads form images on a recording medium such as paper by expelling droplets of ink from the nozzles onto the recording medium. The ink forms a meniscus at each nozzle prior to being expelled in the form of a droplet. After a droplet is expelled, additional ink surges to the nozzle to reform the meniscus.
- a thermal energy generator usually a resistor
- the resistors are individually addressed with a current pulse to momentarily vaporize the ink and form a bubble which expels an ink droplet.
- the ink bulges from the nozzle and is contained by the surface tension of the ink as a meniscus.
- the rapidly expanding vapor bubble pushes the column of ink filling the channel towards the nozzle.
- the heater rapidly cools and the vapor bubble begins to collapse.
- Ink jet printheads include an array of nozzles and may, for example, be formed of silicon wafers using orientation dependent etching (ODE) techniques.
- ODE orientation dependent etching
- the use of silicon wafers is advantageous because ODE techniques can form structures, such as nozzles, on silicon wafers in a highly precise manner. Moreover, these structures can be fabricated efficiently at low cost.
- the resulting nozzles are generally triangular in cross-section.
- Thermal ink jet printheads made by using the above-mentioned ODE techniques typically comprise a channel plate which contains a plurality of nozzle-defining channels located on a lower surface thereof bonded to a heater plate having a plurality of resistive heater elements formed on an upper surface thereof and arranged so that a heater element is located in each channel.
- the upper surface of the heater plate typically includes an insulative layer which is patterned to form recesses exposing the individual heating elements.
- This insulative layer is referred to as a “pit layer” and is sandwiched between the channel plate and heater plate.
- a “pit layer” is sandwiched between the channel plate and heater plate.

Processes for putting the above mentioned thermal sensitivity imparting groups on polymers are disclosed in, for example, “Polyimides,” C. E. Sroog, Prog. Polym. Sci., Vol. 16, 561-694 (1991); F. E. Arnold and L. S. Tan, Symposium on Recent Advances in Polyimides and Other High Performance Polymers, Reno, Nev. (July 1987); L. S. Tan and F. E. Arnold, J. Polym. Sci. Part A, 26, 1819 (1988); U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,973,636; and 4,927,907; the disclosures of each of which are totally incorporated herein by reference.
- a functional group can behave as either a photosensitivity-imparting group or a thermal sensitivity imparting group.
- the polymers of the present invention having optional thermal sensitivity imparting groups thereon at least two different groups are present on the polymer, one of which functions as a photosensitivity-imparting group and one of which functions as a thermal sensitivity imparting group. Either the two groups are selected so that the thermal sensitivity imparting group does not react or crosslink when exposed to actinic radiation at a level to which the photosensitivity-imparting group is sensitive, or photocuring is halted while at least some thermal sensitivity imparting groups remain intact and unreacted or uncrosslinked on the polymer.
- the thermal sensitivity imparting group is one which reacts at a temperature in excess of the glass transition temperature of the polymer subsequent to crosslinking or chain extension via photoexposure.
- the polymers of the present invention are cured in a two-stage process which entails (a) exposing the polymer to actinic radiation, thereby causing the polymer to become crosslinked or chain extended through the photosensitivity-imparting groups; and (b) subsequent to step (a), heating the polymer to a temperature of at least 140° C., thereby causing further crosslinking or chain extension of the polymer through the thermal sensitivity imparting groups.
- the temperature selected for the second, thermal cure step generally depends on the thermal sensitivity imparting group which is present on the polymer.
- ethynyl groups preferably are cured at temperatures of from about 150 to about 300° C.

- Maleimide groups preferably are cured at temperatures of from about 300 to about 350° C.
- Benzocyclobutene groups preferably are cured at temperatures of over about 300° C.
- 5-Norbornene-2,3-dicarboximido groups preferably are cured at temperatures of from about 250 to about 350° C.
- Vinyl ether groups preferably are cured at temperatures of about 150° C.
- Phenolic groups in the presence of hydroxymethyl or halomethyl groups preferably are cured at temperatures of from about 150 to about 180° C.
- Alkylcarboxylate groups preferably are cured at temperatures of from about 150 to about 250° C. Curing temperatures usually do not exceed 350 or 400° C., although higher temperatures can be employed provided that decomposition of the polymer does not occur. Higher temperature cures preferably take place in an oxygen-excluded environment.
- Reaction of the phenylethynyl end groups serves to chain-extend the network.
- Hydroxymethyl and halo groups are also preferred when the photopatternable polymer has a glass transition temperature of less than about 150° C. Hydroxymethyl and halomethyl groups on phenolic ends are particularly reactive and serve to chain-extend the network. The fact that this chain extension occurs at temperatures significantly in excess of the glass transition temperature of the polymer facilitates the chain extension reaction, relaxes stresses in the crosslinked film, and allows for the extrusion of thermally labile alkyl fragments introduced in the photoactivation of the backbone.
- Phenolic end groups can be obtained by adjusting the stoichiometry of the coupling reaction in the formation of polyarylene ether ketones; for example, excess bisphenol A is used when bisphenol A is the B group.
- Halomethyl groups are particularly preferred. Halomethyl groups react at a temperature in excess of 150° C. and extensively crosslink the polymer by the elimination of hydrochloric acid and the formation of methylene bridges. When the photoexposed crosslinked polymer has a glass transition temperature of less than about 150° C., halomethyl groups are particularly preferred.
- the terminal groups on the polymer can be selected by the stoichiometry of the polymer synthesis.
- a polymer is prepared by the reaction of 4,4′-dichlorobenzophenone and bis-phenol A in the presence of potassium carbonate in N,N-dimethylacetamide
- the resulting polymer generally is bis-phenol A-terminated (wherein the bis-phenol A moiety may or may not have one or more hydroxy groups thereon), and the resulting polymer typically has a polydispersity (M w /M n ) of from about 2 to about 3.5.
- the polydispersity of the polymer can rise to the range of from about 4 to about 6.
- the reaction time is approximately half that required for the bis-phenol A excess reaction
- the resulting polymer generally is benzophenone-terminated (wherein the benzophenone moiety may or may not have one or more chlorine atoms thereon), and the resulting polymer typically has a polydispersity of from about 2 to about 3.5.
- the polydispersity of the polymer typically remains in the range of from about 2 to about 3.5.
- the stoichiometry of the polymer synthesis reaction can be adjusted so that the end groups of the polymer are derived from the “A” groups or derived from the “B” groups.
- Specific functional groups can also be present on these terminal “A” groups or “B” groups, such as ethynyl groups or other thermally sensitive groups, hydroxy groups which are attached to the aromatic ring on an “A” or “B” group to form a phenolic moiety, halogen atoms which are attached to the “A” or “B” group, or the like.
- Polymers with end groups derived from the “A” group may be preferred for some applications because both the syntheses and some of the reactions of these materials to place substituents thereon may be easier to control and may yield better results with respect to, for example, cost, molecular weight, molecular weight range, and polydispersity (M w /M n ) compared to polymers with end groups derived from the “B” group, such as bis-phenol A groups (having one or more hydroxy groups on the aromatic rings thereof) or other phenolic groups.
- haloalkylation reaction in particular proceeds most rapidly on the phenolic tails when the polymer is bis-phenol A terminated.
- halomethylated groups on phenolic-terminated polymers may be particularly reactive to subsequent crosslinking or chain extension.
- halomethylation does not take place on the terminal aromatic groups with electron withdrawing substituents, such as benzophenone, halogenated benzophenone, or the like.
- the “A” group terminated materials may also function as an adhesive, and in applications such as thermal ink jet printheads, the use of the crosslinked “A” group terminated polymer may reduce or eliminate the need for an epoxy adhesive to bond the heater plate to the channel plate.
- any residual halogen atoms or haloalkyl groups on the photopatternable polymer can be converted to methoxy groups, hydroxide groups, acetoxy groups, amine groups, or the like by any desired process, including those processes disclosed hereinabove, those disclosed in, for example, British Pat. No. 863,702, Chem Abstr. 55, 18667b (1961), and other publications previously incorporated herein by reference, and the like.
- the photopatternable polymer can be cured by uniform exposure to actinic radiation at wavelengths and/or energy levels capable of causing crosslinking or chain extension of the polymer through the photosensitivity-imparting groups.
- the photopatternable polymer is developed by imagewise exposure of the material to radiation at a wavelength and/or at an energy level to which the photosensitivity-imparting groups are sensitive.
- a photoresist composition will contain the photopatternable polymer, an optional solvent for the photopatternable polymer, an optional sensitizer, and an optional photoinitiator. Solvents may be particularly desirable when the uncrosslinked photopatternable polymer has a high T g .

- Sensitizers absorb light energy and facilitate the transfer of energy to unsaturated bonds which can then react to crosslink or chain extend the resin. Sensitizers frequently expand the useful energy wavelength range for photoexposure, and typically are aromatic light absorbing chromophores. Sensitizers can also lead to the formation of photoinitiators, which can be free radical or ionic.
- the optional sensitizer and the photopatternable polymer typically are present in relative amounts of from about 0.1 to about 20 percent by weight sensitizer and from about 80 to about 99.9 percent by weight photopatternable polymer, and preferably are present in relative amounts of from about 1 to about 10 percent by weight sensitizer and from about 90 to about 99 percent by weight photopatternable polymer, although the relative amounts can be outside these ranges.
- Photoinitiators generally generate ions or free radicals which initiate polymerization upon exposure to actinic radiation.
- the optional photoinitiator and the photopatternable polymer typically are present in relative amounts of from about 0.1 to about 20 percent by weight photoinitiator and from about 80 to about 99.9 percent by weight photopatternable polymer, and preferably are present in relative amounts of from about 1 to about 10 percent by weight photoinitiator and from about 90 to about 99 percent by weight photopatternable polymer, although the relative amounts can be outside these ranges.
- a single material can also function as both a sensitizer and a photoinitiator.
- Examples of specific sensitizers and photoinitiators include Michler's ketone (Aldrich Chemical Co.), Darocure 1173, Darocure 4265, Irgacure 184, Irgacure 261, and Irgacure 907 (available from Ciba-Geigy, Ardsley, N.Y.), and mixtures thereof. Further background material on initiators is disclosed in, for example, Ober et al., J.M.S.—Pure Appl. Chem., A30 (12), 877-897 (1993); G. E. Green, B. P. Stark, and S. A. Zahir, “Photocrosslinkable Resin Systems,” J. Macro. Sci. Revs. Macro.
- Sensitizers are available from, for example, Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, Wis., and Pfaltz and Bauer, Waterberry, Conn. Benzophenone and its derivatives can function as photosensitizers. Triphenylsulfonium and diphenyl iodonium salts are examples of typical cationic photoinitiators.
- the photoresist containing the allyl ether substituted polymer is developed by imagewise exposure of the material to radiation at a wavelength to which it is sensitive. While not being limited to any particular theory, it is believed that exposure to, for example, ultraviolet radiation generally opens the ethylenic linkage in the allyl ether groups and leads to crosslinking or chain extension at the “long” bond sites as shown below:
- Suitable sensitizers or initiators for the allyl-substituted polymers is that of bis(azides), of the general formula

- the photoresist containing the epoxidized polymer is developed by imagewise exposure of the material to radiation at a wavelength to which it is sensitive. While not being limited to any particular theory, it is believed that exposure to, for example, ultraviolet radiation generally causes generation of acidic species by the initiator, followed by reaction of the acidic species with the epoxy groups to cause ring opening and crosslinking or chain extension at the “long” bond sites as shown below:

- An example of a suitable configuration, suitable in this instance for thermal ink jet printing, is illustrated schematically in FIG. 1, which depicts an enlarged, schematic isometric view of the front face 29 of a printhead 10 showing the array of droplet emitting nozzles 27 .
- the lower electrically insulating substrate or heating element plate 28 has the heating elements 34 and addressing electrodes 33 patterned on surface 30 thereof, while the upper substrate or channel plate 31 has parallel grooves 20 which extend in one direction and penetrate through the upper substrate front face edge 29 .

- polysilicon heating elements may be subsequently oxidized in steam or oxygen at a relatively high temperature, typically about 1,100° C. although the temperature can be above or below this value, for a period of time typically of from about 50 to about 80 minutes, although the time period can be outside this range, prior to the deposition of the aluminum leads, in order to convert a small portion of the polysilicon to SiO 2 .
- the heating elements are thermally oxidized to achieve an overglaze (not shown) of SiO 2 with a thickness typically of from about 500 Angstroms to about 1 micron, although the thickness can be outside this range, which has good integrity with substantially no pinholes.
- polysilicon heating elements are used and an optional silicon dioxide thermal oxide layer 17 is grown from the polysilicon in high temperature steam.
- the thermal oxide layer is typically grown to a thickness of from about 0.5 to about 1 micron, although the thickness can be outside this range, to protect and insulate the heating elements from the conductive ink.
- the thermal oxide is removed at the edges of the polysilicon heating elements for attachment of the addressing electrodes and common return, which are then patterned and deposited. If a resistive material such as zirconium boride is used for the heating elements, then other suitable well known insulative materials can be used for the protective layer thereover.
- a tantalum (Ta) layer (not shown) can be optionally deposited, typically to a thickness of about 1 micron, although the thickness can be above or below this value, on the heating element protective layer 17 for added protection thereof against the cavitational forces generated by the collapsing ink vapor bubbles during printhead operation.

- An effective ion barrier layer is generally achieved when its thickness is from about 1000 Angstroms to about 10 microns, although the thickness can be outside this range.
- passivation layer 16 preferably has a thickness of about 3 microns, although the thickness can be above or below this value. In 600 dpi printheads, the thickness of passivation layer 16 preferably is such that the combined thickness of layer 16 and layer 18 is about 25 microns, although the thickness can be above or below this value.
- the passivation film or layer 16 is etched off of the terminal ends of the common return and addressing electrodes for wire bonding later with the daughter board electrodes. This etching of the silicon dioxide film can be by either the wet or dry etching method. Alternatively, the electrode passivation can be by plasma deposited silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ).
- a thick film type insulative layer 18 is formed on the passivation layer 16 , typically having a thickness of from about 10 to about 100 microns and preferably in the range of from about 25 to about 50 microns, although the thickness can be outside these ranges.

- the insulative layer 18 is photolithographically processed to enable etching and removal of those portions of the layer 18 over each heating element (forming recesses 26 ), the elongated recess 38 for providing ink passage from the manifold 24 to the ink channels 20 , and over each electrode terminal 32 , 37 .
- the elongated recess 38 is formed by the removal of this portion of the thick film layer 18 .

- FIG. 3 is a similar view to that of FIG. 2 with a shallow anisotropically etched groove 40 in the heater plate, which is silicon, prior to formation of the underglaze 39 and patterning of the heating elements 34 , electrodes 33 and common return 35 .
- This recess 40 permits the use of only the thick film insulative layer 18 and eliminates the need for the usual electrode passivating layer 16 . Since the thick film layer 18 is impervious to water and relatively thick (typically from about 20 to about 40 microns, although the thickness can be outside this range), contamination introduced into the circuitry will be much less than with only the relatively thin passivation layer 16 well known in the art.
- the heater plate is a fairly hostile environment for integrated circuits.
- the active part of the heater plate will be at elevated temperature adjacent to a contaminated aqueous ink solution which undoubtedly abounds with mobile ions.
- the thick film insulative layer 18 provides improved protection for the active devices and provides improved protection, resulting in longer operating lifetime for the heater plate.
- At least two alignment markings (not shown) preferably are photolithographically produced at predetermined locations on the lower substrates 28 which make up the silicon wafer. These alignment markings are used for alignment of the plurality of upper substrates 31 containing the ink channels.
- the surface of the single sided wafer containing the plurality of sets of heating elements is bonded to the surface of the wafer containing the plurality of ink channel containing upper substrates subsequent to alignment.
- the channel plate is formed from a two side polished, (100) silicon wafer to produce a plurality of upper substrates 31 for the printhead. After the wafer is chemically cleaned, a pyrolytic CVD silicon nitride layer (not shown) is deposited on both sides. Using conventional photolithography, a via for fill hole 25 for each of the plurality of channel plates 31 and at least two vias for alignment openings (not shown) at predetermined locations are printed on one wafer side. The silicon nitride is plasma etched off of the patterned vias representing the fill holes and alignment openings.
- a potassium hydroxide (KOH) anisotropic etch can be used to etch the fill holes and alignment openings.
- the [111] planes of the (100) wafer typically make an angle of about 54.7 degrees with the surface of the wafer.
- the fill holes are small square surface patterns, generally of about 20 mils (500 microns) per side, although the dimensions can be above or below this value, and the alignment openings are from about 60 to about 80 mils (1.5 to 3 millimeters) square, although the dimensions can be outside this range.
- the alignment openings are etched entirely through the 20 mil (0.5 millimeter) thick wafer, while the fill holes are etched to a terminating apex at about halfway through to three-quarters through the wafer.
- the relatively small square fill hole is invariant to further size increase with continued etching so that the etching of the alignment openings and fill holes are not significantly time constrained.
- the opposite side of the wafer is photolithographically patterned, using the previously etched alignment holes as a reference to form the relatively large rectangular recesses 24 and sets of elongated, parallel channel recesses that will eventually become the ink manifolds and channels of the printheads.
- the surface 22 of the wafer containing the manifold and channel recesses are portions of the original wafer surface (covered by a silicon nitride layer) on which an adhesive, such as a thermosetting epoxy, will optionally be applied later for bonding it to the substrate containing the plurality of sets of heating elements.
- the adhesive is applied in a manner such that it does not run or spread into the grooves or other recesses.
- the alignment markings can be used with, for example, a vacuum chuck mask aligner to align the channel wafer on the heating element and addressing electrode wafer. The two wafers are accurately mated and can be tacked together by partial curing of the adhesive.
- incorporación of the epoxy groups into the photopatternable polyarylene ether enables or improves adhesion of the polyarylene ether layer to the heater plate, and possibly also to the channel plate. Subsequent to imaging and during cure of the polyarylene ether, the epoxy groups react with the heater layer to form strong chemical bonds with that layer, improving adhesive strength and solvent resistance of the interface. The presence of the epoxy groups may also improve the hydrophilicity of the polyarylene ether and thus may improve the wetting properties of the layer, thereby improving the refill characteristics of the printhead.
- the heating element and channel wafers can be given precisely diced edges and then manually or automatically aligned in a precision jig. Alignment can also be performed with an infrared aligner-bonder, with an infrared microscope using infrared opaque markings on each wafer to be aligned, or the like. The two wafers can then be cured in an oven or laminator to bond them together permanently. The channel wafer can then be milled to produce individual upper substrates. A final dicing cut, which produces end face 29 , opens one end of the elongated groove 20 producing nozzles 27 . The other ends of the channel groove 20 remain closed by end 21 .
- the alignment and bonding of the channel plate to the heater plate places the ends 21 of channels 20 directly over elongated recess 38 in the thick film insulative layer 18 as shown in FIG. 2 or directly above the recess 40 as shown in FIG. 3 enabling the flow of ink into the channels from the manifold as depicted by arrows 23 .
- the plurality of individual printheads produced by the final dicing are bonded to the daughter board and the printhead electrode terminals are wire bonded to the daughter board electrodes.
- a heater wafer with a phosphosilicate glass layer is spin coated with a solution of Z6020 adhesion promoter (0.01 weight percent in 95 parts methanol and 5 parts water, Dow Corning) at 3000 revolutions per minute for 10 seconds and dried at 100° C. for between 2 and 10 minutes. The wafer is then allowed to cool at 25° C. for 5 minutes before spin coating the photoresist containing the photopatternable polymer onto the wafer at between 1,000 and 3,000 revolutions per minute for between 30 and 60 seconds.
- Z6020 adhesion promoter 0.01 weight percent in 95 parts methanol and 5 parts water, Dow Corning
- the photoresist solution is made by dissolving polyarylene ether ketone with from about 1 to about 1.5 epoxy groups and from about 0.1 to about 1.0 chloromethyl groups per repeat unit and a number average molecular weight of from about 5,000 to about 7,000 (polydispersity ([M w /M n ] of from about 2 to about 5) in N-methylpyrrolidinone at 40 weight percent solids with Michler's ketone (1.2 parts ketone per every 10 parts of 40 weight percent solids polymer solution).
- a curing agent such as the “Y” curative (meta-phenylenediamine) or the like, as well as mixtures thereof, can also be included in the photoresist solution.
- the film is heated (soft baked) in an oven for between 10 and 15 minutes at 70° C. After cooling to 25° C. over 5 minutes, the film is covered with a mask and exposed to 365 nanometer ultraviolet light, amounting to between 150 and 1,500 milliJoules per cm 2 . The exposed wafer is then heated at 70° C. for 2 minutes post exposure bake, followed by cooling to 25° C. over 5 minutes.
- the film is developed with any suitable developer, such as 60:40 chloroform/cyclohexanone, mixtures of cyclohexanone and methyl ethyl ketone, or the like, washed with 90:10 hexanes/cyclohexanone, and then dried at 70° C. for 2 minutes.
- a second developer/wash cycle is carried out if necessary to obtain a wafer with clean features.
- the processed wafer is transferred to an oven at 25° C., and the oven temperature is raised from 25 to 90° C. at 20° C. per minute.
- the temperature is maintained at 90° C. for 2 hours, and then increased to 260° C. at 2° C. per minute.
- the oven temperature is maintained at 260° C. for 2 hours and then the oven is turned off and the temperature is allowed to cool gradually to 250° C.
- thermal cure of the photoresist films is carried out under inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen or one of the noble gases, such as argon, neon, krypton, xenon, or the like, there is markedly reduced oxidation of the developed film and improved thermal and hydrolytic stability of the resultant devices. Moreover, adhesion of developed photoresist film is improved to the underlying substrate. If a second layer is spin coated over the first layer, the heat cure of the first developed layer can be stopped between 80 and 260° C. before the second layer is spin coated onto the first layer. A second thicker layer is deposited by repeating the above procedure a second time. This process is intended to be a guide in that procedures can be outside the specified conditions depending on film thickness and photoresist molecular weight. Films at 30 microns have been developed with clean features at 600 dots per inch.
- photoresist compositions of the present invention are free of particulates prior to coating onto substrates.
- the photoresist composition containing the photopatternable polymer is subjected to filtration through a 2 micron nylon filter cloth (available from Tetko).
- the photoresist solution is filtered through the cloth under yellow light or in the dark as a solution containing from about 30 to about 60 percent by weight solids using compressed air (up to about 60 psi) and a pressure filtration funnel.
- the photopatternable polymer is admixed with an epoxy resin in relative amounts of from about 75 parts by weight photopatternable polymer and about 25 parts by weight epoxy resin to about 90 parts by weight photopatternable polymer and about 10 parts by weight epoxy resin.
- suitable epoxy resins include EPON 1001F, available from Shell Chemical Company, Houston, Tex., believed to be of the formula
- Curing agents such as the “Y” curative (meta-phenylenediamine) and the like, as well as mixtures thereof, can be used to cure the epoxy resin at typical relative amounts of about 10 weight percent curative per gram of epoxy resin solids.
- Process conditions for the epoxy resin blended with the photopatternable polymer are generally similar to those used to process the photoresist without epoxy resin. Incorporation of the epoxy resin into the photopatternable polymer material improves the adhesion of the photopatternable layer to the heater plate. Subsequent to imaging and during cure of the photopatternable polymer, the epoxy reacts with the heater layer to form strong chemical bonds with that layer, improving adhesive strength and solvent resistance of the interface. The presence of the epoxy may also improve the hydrophilicity of the photopatternable polymer and thus may improve the wetting properties of the layer, thereby improving the refill characteristics of the printhead.

- or mixtures thereof, and n is an integer representing the number of repeating monomer units, wherein said photosensitivity-imparting substituents are allyl ether groups, epoxy groups, or mixtures thereof. Another embodiment of the present invention is directed to a process which comprises the steps of:
- (a) depositing a layer comprising a polymer of the above formula onto a lower substrate in which one surface thereof has an array of heating elements and addressing electrodes having terminal ends formed thereon, said polymer being deposited onto the surface having the heating elements and addressing electrodes thereon;
- (b) exposing the layer to actinic radiation in an imagewise pattern such that the polymer in exposed areas becomes crosslinked or chain extended and the polymer in unexposed areas does not become crosslinked or chain extended, wherein the unexposed areas correspond to areas of the lower substrate having thereon the heating elements and the terminal ends of the addressing electrodes;
- (c) removing the polymer from the unexposed areas, thereby forming recesses in the layer, said recesses exposing the heating elements and the terminal ends of the addressing electrodes;
- (d) providing an upper substrate with a set of parallel grooves for subsequent use as ink channels and a recess for subsequent use as a manifold, the grooves being open at one end for serving as droplet emitting nozzles; and
- (e) aligning, mating, and bonding the upper and lower substrates together to form a printhead with the grooves in the upper substrate being aligned with the heating elements in the lower substrate to form droplet emitting nozzles, thereby forming a thermal ink jet printhead. Yet other embodiments of the present invention are directed to processes for preparing the aforementioned polymers.
- In microelectronics applications, there is a great need for low dielectric constant, high glass transition temperature, thermally stable, photopatternable polymers for use as interlayer dielectric layers and as passivation layers which protect microelectronic circuitry. Poly(imides) are widely used to satisfy these needs; these materials, however, have disadvantageous characteristics such as relatively high water sorption and hydrolytic instability. There is thus a need for high performance polymers which can be effectively photopatterned and developed at high resolution.
- One particular application for such materials is the fabrication of ink jet printheads. Ink jet printing systems generally are of two types: continuous stream and drop-on-demand. In continuous stream ink jet systems, ink is emitted in a continuous stream under pressure through at least one orifice or nozzle. The stream is perturbed, causing it to break up into droplets at a fixed distance from the orifice. At the break-up point, the droplets are charged in accordance with digital data signals and passed through an electrostatic field which adjusts the trajectory of each droplet in order to direct it to a gutter for recirculation or a specific location on a recording medium. In drop-on-demand systems, a droplet is expelled from an orifice directly to a position on a recording medium in accordance with digital data signals. A droplet is not formed or expelled unless it is to be placed on the recording medium.
- Since drop-on-demand systems require no ink recovery, charging, or deflection, the system is much simpler than the continuous stream type. There are different types of drop-on-demand ink jet systems. One type of drop-on-demand system has as its major components an ink filled channel or passageway having a nozzle on one end and a piezoelectric transducer near the other end to produce pressure pulses. The relatively large size of the transducer prevents close spacing of the nozzles, and physical limitations of the transducer result in low ink drop velocity. Low drop velocity seriously diminishes tolerances for drop velocity variation and directionality, thus impacting the system's ability to produce high quality copies. Drop-on-demand systems which use piezoelectric devices to expel the droplets also suffer the disadvantage of a slow printing speed.
- The other type of drop-on-demand system is known as thermal ink jet, or bubble jet, and produces high velocity droplets and allows very close spacing of nozzles. The major components of this type of drop-on-demand system are an ink filled channel having a nozzle on one end and a heat generating resistor near the nozzle. Printing signals representing digital information originate an electric current pulse in a resistive layer within each ink passageway near the orifice or nozzle, causing the ink in the immediate vicinity to vaporize almost instantaneously and create a bubble. The ink at the orifice is forced out as a propelled droplet as the bubble expands. When the hydrodynamic motion of the ink stops, the process is ready to start all over again. With the introduction of a droplet ejection system based upon thermally generated bubbles, commonly referred to as the “bubble jet” system, the drop-on-demand ink jet printers provide simpler, lower cost devices than their continuous stream counterparts, and yet have substantially the same high speed printing capability.
- The operating sequence of the bubble jet system begins with a current pulse through the resistive layer in the ink filled channel, the resistive layer being in close proximity to the orifice or nozzle for that channel. Heat is transferred from the resistor to the ink. The ink becomes superheated far above its normal boiling point, and for water based ink, finally reaches the critical temperature for bubble formation or nucleation of around 280° C. Once nucleated, the bubble or water vapor thermally isolates the ink from the heater and no further heat can be applied to the ink. This bubble expands until all the heat stored in the ink in excess of the normal boiling point diffuses away or is used to convert liquid to vapor, which removes heat due to heat of vaporization. The expansion of the bubble forces a droplet of ink out of the nozzle, and once the excess heat is removed, the bubble collapses. At this point, the resistor is no longer being heated because the current pulse has passed and, concurrently with the bubble collapse, the droplet is propelled at a high rate of speed in a direction towards a recording medium. The surface of the printhead encounters a severe cavitational force by the collapse of the bubble, which tends to erode it. Subsequently, the ink channel refills by capillary action. This entire bubble formation and collapse sequence occurs in about 10 microseconds. The channel can be refired after 100 to 500 microseconds minimum dwell time to enable the channel to be refilled and to enable the dynamic refilling factors to become somewhat dampened. Thermal ink jet equipment and processes are well known and are described in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,601,777, 4,251,824, 4,410,899, 4,412,224, 4,532,530, and 4,774,530, the disclosures of each of which are totally incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention is suitable for ink jet printing processes, including drop-on-demand systems such as thermal ink jet printing, piezoelectric drop-on-demand printing, and the like.
- In ink jet printing, a printhead is usually provided having one or more ink-filled channels communicating with an ink supply chamber at one end and having an opening at the opposite end, referred to as a nozzle. These printheads form images on a recording medium such as paper by expelling droplets of ink from the nozzles onto the recording medium. The ink forms a meniscus at each nozzle prior to being expelled in the form of a droplet. After a droplet is expelled, additional ink surges to the nozzle to reform the meniscus.
- In thermal ink jet printing, a thermal energy generator, usually a resistor, is located in the channels near the nozzles a predetermined distance therefrom. The resistors are individually addressed with a current pulse to momentarily vaporize the ink and form a bubble which expels an ink droplet. As the bubble grows, the ink bulges from the nozzle and is contained by the surface tension of the ink as a meniscus. The rapidly expanding vapor bubble pushes the column of ink filling the channel towards the nozzle. At the end of the current pulse the heater rapidly cools and the vapor bubble begins to collapse. However, because of inertia, most of the column of ink that received an impulse from the exploding bubble continues its forward motion and is ejected from the nozzle as an ink drop. As the bubble begins to collapse, the ink still in the channel between the nozzle and bubble starts to move towards the collapsing bubble, causing a volumetric contraction of the ink at the nozzle and resulting in the separation of the bulging ink as a droplet. The acceleration of the ink out of the nozzle while the bubble is growing provides the momentum and velocity of the droplet in a substantially straight line direction towards a recording medium, such as paper.
- Ink jet printheads include an array of nozzles and may, for example, be formed of silicon wafers using orientation dependent etching (ODE) techniques. The use of silicon wafers is advantageous because ODE techniques can form structures, such as nozzles, on silicon wafers in a highly precise manner. Moreover, these structures can be fabricated efficiently at low cost. The resulting nozzles are generally triangular in cross-section. Thermal ink jet printheads made by using the above-mentioned ODE techniques typically comprise a channel plate which contains a plurality of nozzle-defining channels located on a lower surface thereof bonded to a heater plate having a plurality of resistive heater elements formed on an upper surface thereof and arranged so that a heater element is located in each channel. The upper surface of the heater plate typically includes an insulative layer which is patterned to form recesses exposing the individual heating elements. This insulative layer is referred to as a “pit layer” and is sandwiched between the channel plate and heater plate. For examples of printheads employing this construction, see U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,774,530 and 4,829,324, the disclosures of each of which are totally incorporated herein by reference. Additional examples of thermal ink jet printheads are disclosed in, for example, U.S. Pat.

- The polymer to be functionalized with epoxy or allyl ether groups can be functionalized by any desired or suitable process. One method entails preparation of a haloalkylated intermediate, followed by substitution with unsaturated ether or allyl ether groups and, if desired, subsequent epoxidation of the unsaturated ether or allyl ether groups. Haloalkylation of the polymer can be carried out by any suitable or desired process. For example, suitable haloalkylation processes include reaction of the polymers with formaldehyde and hydrohalic acid, bishalomethyl ether, halomethyl methyl ether, octylhalomethyl ether, or the like, generally in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst. Bromination of a methyl group on the polymer can also be accomplished with elemental bromine via a free radical process initiated by, for example, a peroxide initiator or light. Halogen atoms can be substituted for other halogens already on a halomethyl group by, for example, reaction with the appropriate hydrohalic acid or halide salt. Methods for the haloalkylation of polymers are also disclosed in, for example, “Chloromethylation of Condensation Polymers Containing an oxy-1,4-phenylene Backbone,” W. H. Daly et al.,Polymer Preprints, Vol. 20, No. 1, 835 (1979), the disclosure of which is totally incorporated herein by reference.
- The haloalkylation of the polymer can be accomplished by reacting the polymer with an acetyl halide and dimethoxymethane in the presence of a halogen-containing Lewis acid catalyst such as those of the general formula

- wherein n is an integer of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, M represents a boron atom or a metal atom, such as tin, aluminum, zinc, antimony, iron (III), gallium, indium, arsenic, mercury, copper, platinum, palladium, or the like, and X represents a halogen atom, such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine, with specific examples including SnCl4, AlCl3, ZnCl2, AlBr3, BF3, SbF5, Fel3, GaBr3, InCl3, Asl5, HgBr2, CuCl, PdCl2, PtBr2, or the like. Methanol is added to generate hydrohalic acid catalytically; the hydrohalic acid reacts with dimethoxymethane to form halomethyl methyl ether. Care must be taken to avoid cross-linking of the halomethylated polymer. Typically, the reactants are present in relative amounts by weight of about 35.3 parts acetyl halide, about 37 parts dimethoxymethane, about 1.2 parts methanol, about 0.3 parts Lewis acid catalyst, about 446
parts 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, and about 10 to 20 parts polymer. 1,1,2,2-Tetrachlorethane is a suitable reaction solvent. Dichloromethane is low boiling, and consequently the reaction is slow in this solvent unless suitable pressure equipment is used. -

Examples of suitable substituents on the substituted alkyl, aryl, and arylalkyl groups include (but are not limited to) alkyl groups, including saturated, unsaturated, linear, branched, and cyclic alkyl groups, preferably with from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, substituted alkyl groups, preferably with from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, aryl groups, preferably with from 6 to about 24 carbon atoms, substituted aryl groups, preferably with from 6 to about 24 carbon atoms, arylalkyl groups, preferably with from 7 to about 30 carbon atoms, substituted arylalkyl groups, preferably with from 7 to about 30 carbon atoms, alkoxy groups, preferably with from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, substituted alkoxy groups, preferably with from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms, aryloxy groups, preferably with from 6 to about 24 carbon atoms, substituted aryloxy groups, preferably with from 6 to about 24 carbon atoms, arylalkyloxy groups, preferably with from 7 to about 30 carbon atoms, substituted arylalkyloxy groups, preferably with from 7 to about 30 carbon atoms, amine groups, imine groups, ammonium groups, pyridine groups, pyridinium groups, ether groups, ester groups, amide groups, carbonyl groups, thiocarbonyl groups, sulfate groups, sulfonate groups, sulfide groups, sulfoxide groups, phosphine groups, phosphonium groups, phosphate groups, mercapto groups, nitroso groups, sulfone groups, acyl groups, acid anhydride groups, azide groups, and the like, wherein the substituents on the substituted alkyl groups, substituted aryl groups, substituted arylalkyl groups, substituted alkoxy groups, substituted aryloxy groups, and substituted arylalkyloxy groups can be (but are not limited to) hydroxy groups, amine groups, imine groups, ammonium groups, pyridine groups, pyridinium groups, ether groups, aldehyde groups, ketone groups, ester groups, amide groups, carboxylic acid groups, carbonyl groups, thiocarbonyl groups, sulfate groups, sulfonate groups, sulfide groups, sulfoxide groups, phosphine groups, phosphonium groups, phosphate groups, cyano groups, nitrile groups, mercapto groups, nitroso groups, halogen atoms, nitro groups, sulfone groups, acyl groups, acid anhydride groups, azide groups, mixtures thereof, and the like, wherein two or more substituents can be joined together to form a ring. Substitution is generally random, although the substituent often indicates a preference for the B group, and any given monomer repeat unit may have no haloalkyl substituents, one haloalkyl substituent, or two or more haloalkyl substituents.
- Typical reaction temperatures are from about 60 to about 120° C., and preferably from about 80 to about 110° C., although the temperature can be outside these ranges. Typical reaction times are from about 1 to about 10 hours, and preferably from about 2 to about 4 hours, although the time can be outside these ranges. Longer reaction times generally result in higher degrees of haloalkylation. When the haloalkylated polymer is used as an intermediate material in the synthesis of polymers substituted with allyl ether or epoxy groups, higher degrees of haloalkylation generally enable higher degrees of substitution with the desired group and thereby enable greater photosensitivity of the polymer. Different degrees of haloalkylation may be desirable for different applications. When the material is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of the epoxidized polymer, too high a degree of substitution may lead to the loss of bonding because a high crosslink density embrittles the polymer, leading to possible cohesive failure, whereas too low a degree of substitution may be undesirable because inadequate crosslinking may result and insufficient groups are available to bond to the substrate, leading to adhesive failure. For applications wherein the photopatternable allyl ether substituted or epoxidized polymer is to be used as a layer in a thermal ink jet printhead, the degree of substitution (i.e., the average number of allyl ether or epoxy groups per monomer repeat unit) preferably is from about 0.5 about 1.5, and more preferably is about 1.0, although the degree of substitution can be outside these ranges for ink jet printhead applications. This amount of substitution amounts to from about 0.8 to about 1.3 milliequivalents of allyl ether or epoxy groups per gram of resin. For thermosetting resin (composited) applications, such as epoxy circuit boards and the like, a degree of substitution of from about 0.5 to about 2.0 epoxy groups per monomer repeat unit may be preferred.
- The haloalkylated polymer is allyl ether substituted or epoxidized by first reacting the haloalkylated polymer with an unsaturated alcohol salt, such as an allyl alcohol salt, in solution. Examples of suitable unsaturated alcohol salts and allyl alcohol salts include sodium 2-allylphenolate, sodium 4-allylphenolate, sodium allyl alcoholate, corresponding salts with lithium, potassium, cesium, rubidium, ammonium, quaternary alkyl ammonium compounds, and the like. Unsaturated alcohol salts can be generated by the reaction of the alcohol with a base, such as sodium hydride, sodium hydroxide, or the like. The salt displaces the halide of the haloalkyl groups at between about 25 and about 100° C. Examples of solvents suitable for the reaction include polar aprotic solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide, dimethylsulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidinone, dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, and the like. Typically, the reactants are present in relative amounts with respect to each other of from about 1 to about 50 molar equivalents of unsaturated alcohol salt per haloalkyl group to be substituted, although the relative amounts can be outside this range. Typically, the reactants are present in solution in amounts of from about 5 to about 50 percent by weight solids, and preferably about 10 percent by weight solids, although the relative amounts can be outside this range.
- Typical reaction temperatures are from about 25 to about 100° C., and preferably from about 25 to about 50° C., although the temperature can be outside these ranges. Typical reaction times are from about 4 to about 24 hours, and preferably about 16 hours, although the time can be outside this range.

- The allyl ether substituted polymer is suitable for photoinduced curing reactions. Alternatively, the allyl ether substituted polymer (or the unsaturated ether substituted polymer) can be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of the epoxidized polymer. This allyl ether or unsaturated ether substituted intermediate product is thereafter reacted with a peroxide, such as hydrogen peroxide, m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, acetyl peroxide, and the like, as well as mixtures thereof, to yield the epoxidized polymer. Typically, the reactants are present in relative amounts with respect to each other of from approximately equivalent molar amounts of peroxide and the number of unsaturated groups desired to be converted to epoxide groups to an excess of between 10 and 100 mole percent of peroxide. The reaction preferably takes place in a dilute solution of about 1 percent by weight solids or less to prevent crosslinking.

- Some or all of the haloalkyl groups can be replaced with allyl ether or epoxy substituents. Longer reaction times generally lead to greater degrees of substitution of haloalkyl groups with allyl ether or epoxy substituents. In one preferred embodiment, some of the haloalkyl groups remain on the polymer (i.e., at least one of a, b, c, or d is equal to at least 1 in at least some of the monomer repeat units of the polymer). In this embodiment, the polymer can, if desired, be further reacted to convert the haloalkyl groups to, for example, unsaturated ester groups.
- Typical reaction temperatures for the conversion of the unsaturated ether groups to the epoxy groups are from about 0 to about 50° C., and preferably from about 0 to about 25° C., although the temperature can be outside these ranges. Typical reaction times are from about 1 to about 24 hours, and preferably from about 4 to about 16 hours, although the time can be outside these ranges. Typical solvents for this reaction include methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and the like.
- The epoxidized polymer can also be prepared by reaction of the haloalkylated polymer with an epoxy-group-containing alcohol salt, such as a glycidolate salt, or an unsaturated alcohol salt, such as those set forth hereinabove, in the presence of a molar excess of base (with respect to the unsaturated alcohol salt or epoxy-group-containing alcohol salt), such as sodium hydride, sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, quaternary alkyl ammonium salts, or the like, under phase transfer conditions. Examples of suitable glycidolate salts include sodium glycidolate and the like. Typically, the reactants are present in relative amounts with respect to each other of from approximately equivalent molar amounts of alcohol and the number of unsaturated groups desired to be converted to epoxide groups. Typically, the reactants are present in solution in amounts of from about 1 to about 10 percent by weight solids, although other concentrations can be employed. The reaction with bases such as sodium hydroxide and potassium carbonate typically takes place at from about 25 to about 100° C. The reaction with sodium hydride with glycidol or the unsaturated alcohol generally occurs at ice bath temperatures. Typical reaction times are about 16 hours, although other times may be employed. Examples of suitable solvents include dimethyl acetamide, tetrahydrofuran, mixtures thereof, and the like.

- Unsaturated ether or allyl ether groups can also be placed on the haloalkylated polymer by other methods, such as by a Grignard reaction, a Wittig reaction, or the like.

- The thermal sensitivity imparting groups can be present either as terminal end groups on the polymer or as groups which are pendant from one or more monomer repeat units within the polymer chain. When the thermal sensitivity imparting groups are present as terminal end groups, one or both polymer ends can be terminated with the thermal sensitivity imparting group (or more, if the polymer is crosslinked and has more than two termini).

- In some instances a functional group can behave as either a photosensitivity-imparting group or a thermal sensitivity imparting group. For the polymers of the present invention having optional thermal sensitivity imparting groups thereon, at least two different groups are present on the polymer, one of which functions as a photosensitivity-imparting group and one of which functions as a thermal sensitivity imparting group. Either the two groups are selected so that the thermal sensitivity imparting group does not react or crosslink when exposed to actinic radiation at a level to which the photosensitivity-imparting group is sensitive, or photocuring is halted while at least some thermal sensitivity imparting groups remain intact and unreacted or uncrosslinked on the polymer. Typically (although not necessarily) the thermal sensitivity imparting group is one which reacts at a temperature in excess of the glass transition temperature of the polymer subsequent to crosslinking or chain extension via photoexposure.
- When thermal sensitivity imparting groups are present, the polymers of the present invention are cured in a two-stage process which entails (a) exposing the polymer to actinic radiation, thereby causing the polymer to become crosslinked or chain extended through the photosensitivity-imparting groups; and (b) subsequent to step (a), heating the polymer to a temperature of at least 140° C., thereby causing further crosslinking or chain extension of the polymer through the thermal sensitivity imparting groups.
- The temperature selected for the second, thermal cure step generally depends on the thermal sensitivity imparting group which is present on the polymer. For example, ethynyl groups preferably are cured at temperatures of from about 150 to about 300° C. Halomethyl groups preferably are cured at temperatures of from about 150 to about 260° C. Hydroxymethyl groups preferably are cured at temperatures of from about 150 to about 250° C. Phenylethynyl phenyl groups preferably are cured at temperatures of about 350° C. Vinyl groups preferably are cured at temperatures of from about 150 to about 250° C. Allyl groups preferably are cured at temperatures of over about 260° C. Epoxy groups preferably are cured at temperatures of about 150° C. Maleimide groups preferably are cured at temperatures of from about 300 to about 350° C. Benzocyclobutene groups preferably are cured at temperatures of over about 300° C. 5-Norbornene-2,3-dicarboximido groups preferably are cured at temperatures of from about 250 to about 350° C. Vinyl ether groups preferably are cured at temperatures of about 150° C. Phenolic groups in the presence of hydroxymethyl or halomethyl groups preferably are cured at temperatures of from about 150 to about 180° C. Alkylcarboxylate groups preferably are cured at temperatures of from about 150 to about 250° C. Curing temperatures usually do not exceed 350 or 400° C., although higher temperatures can be employed provided that decomposition of the polymer does not occur. Higher temperature cures preferably take place in an oxygen-excluded environment.
- Reaction of the phenylethynyl end groups serves to chain-extend the network. Hydroxymethyl and halo groups are also preferred when the photopatternable polymer has a glass transition temperature of less than about 150° C. Hydroxymethyl and halomethyl groups on phenolic ends are particularly reactive and serve to chain-extend the network. The fact that this chain extension occurs at temperatures significantly in excess of the glass transition temperature of the polymer facilitates the chain extension reaction, relaxes stresses in the crosslinked film, and allows for the extrusion of thermally labile alkyl fragments introduced in the photoactivation of the backbone. Phenolic end groups can be obtained by adjusting the stoichiometry of the coupling reaction in the formation of polyarylene ether ketones; for example, excess bisphenol A is used when bisphenol A is the B group. Halomethyl groups are particularly preferred. Halomethyl groups react at a temperature in excess of 150° C. and extensively crosslink the polymer by the elimination of hydrochloric acid and the formation of methylene bridges. When the photoexposed crosslinked polymer has a glass transition temperature of less than about 150° C., halomethyl groups are particularly preferred. The fact that this chain extension and crosslinking occurs at temperatures significantly in excess of the glass transition temperature of the polymer facilitates the chain extension reaction, relaxes stresses in the cross-linked film, and allows for the extrusion of thermally labile alkyl fragments introduced in the photoactivation of the backbone. The thermal reaction is believed to eliminate hydrohalic acid and to link polymer chains with methylene bridges. Crosslinking of the halomethyl groups begins near 150° C. and proceeds rapidly in the temperature range of from about 180 to about 210° C.

- In some instances, the terminal groups on the polymer can be selected by the stoichiometry of the polymer synthesis. For example, when a polymer is prepared by the reaction of 4,4′-dichlorobenzophenone and bis-phenol A in the presence of potassium carbonate in N,N-dimethylacetamide, if the bis-phenol A is present in about 7.5 to 8 mole percent excess, the resulting polymer generally is bis-phenol A-terminated (wherein the bis-phenol A moiety may or may not have one or more hydroxy groups thereon), and the resulting polymer typically has a polydispersity (Mw/Mn) of from about 2 to about 3.5. When the bis-phenol A-terminated polymer is subjected to further reactions to place functional groups thereon, such as haloalkyl groups, and/or to convert one kind of functional group, such as a haloalkyl group, to another kind of functional group, such as an unsaturated ester group, the polydispersity of the polymer can rise to the range of from about 4 to about 6. In contrast, if the 4,4′-dichlorobenzophenone is present in about 7.5 to 8 mole percent excess, the reaction time is approximately half that required for the bis-phenol A excess reaction, the resulting polymer generally is benzophenone-terminated (wherein the benzophenone moiety may or may not have one or more chlorine atoms thereon), and the resulting polymer typically has a polydispersity of from about 2 to about 3.5. When the benzophenone-terminated polymer is subjected to further reactions to place functional groups thereon, such as haloalkyl groups, and/or to convert one kind of functional group, such as a haloalkyl group, to another kind of functional group, such as an unsaturated ester group, the polydispersity of the polymer typically remains in the range of from about 2 to about 3.5. Similarly, when a polymer is prepared by the reaction of 4,4′-difluorobenzophenone with either 9,9′-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)fluorene or bis-phenol A in the presence of potassium carbonate in N,N-dimethylacetamide, if the 4,4′-difluorobenzophenone reactant is present in excess, the resulting polymer generally has benzophenone terminal groups (which may or may not have one or more fluorine atoms thereon). The well-known Carothers equation can be employed to calculate the stoichiometric offset required to obtain the desired molecular weight. (See, for example, William H. Carothers, “An Introduction to the General Theory of Condensation Polymers,” Chem. Rev., 8, 353 (1931) and J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 51, 2548 (1929); see also P. J. Flory, Principles of Polymer Chemistry, Cornell University Press, Ithaca, N.Y. (1953); the disclosures of each of which are totally incorporated herein by reference.) More generally speaking, during the preparation of polymers of the formula
- the stoichiometry of the polymer synthesis reaction can be adjusted so that the end groups of the polymer are derived from the “A” groups or derived from the “B” groups. Specific functional groups can also be present on these terminal “A” groups or “B” groups, such as ethynyl groups or other thermally sensitive groups, hydroxy groups which are attached to the aromatic ring on an “A” or “B” group to form a phenolic moiety, halogen atoms which are attached to the “A” or “B” group, or the like.
- Polymers with end groups derived from the “A” group, such as benzophenone groups or halogenated benzophenone groups, may be preferred for some applications because both the syntheses and some of the reactions of these materials to place substituents thereon may be easier to control and may yield better results with respect to, for example, cost, molecular weight, molecular weight range, and polydispersity (Mw/Mn) compared to polymers with end groups derived from the “B” group, such as bis-phenol A groups (having one or more hydroxy groups on the aromatic rings thereof) or other phenolic groups. While not being limited to any particular theory, it is believed that the haloalkylation reaction in particular proceeds most rapidly on the phenolic tails when the polymer is bis-phenol A terminated. Moreover, it is believed that halomethylated groups on phenolic-terminated polymers may be particularly reactive to subsequent crosslinking or chain extension. In contrast, it is generally believed that halomethylation does not take place on the terminal aromatic groups with electron withdrawing substituents, such as benzophenone, halogenated benzophenone, or the like. The “A” group terminated materials may also function as an adhesive, and in applications such as thermal ink jet printheads, the use of the crosslinked “A” group terminated polymer may reduce or eliminate the need for an epoxy adhesive to bond the heater plate to the channel plate.
- If desired, to reduce the amount of residual halogen in a photoresist or other composition containing the polymers of the present invention, thereby also reducing or eliminating the generation of hydrohalic acid during a subsequent thermal curing step, any residual halogen atoms or haloalkyl groups on the photopatternable polymer can be converted to methoxy groups, hydroxide groups, acetoxy groups, amine groups, or the like by any desired process, including those processes disclosed hereinabove, those disclosed in, for example, British Pat. No. 863,702,Chem Abstr. 55, 18667b (1961), and other publications previously incorporated herein by reference, and the like.
- The photopatternable polymer can be cured by uniform exposure to actinic radiation at wavelengths and/or energy levels capable of causing crosslinking or chain extension of the polymer through the photosensitivity-imparting groups. Alternatively, the photopatternable polymer is developed by imagewise exposure of the material to radiation at a wavelength and/or at an energy level to which the photosensitivity-imparting groups are sensitive. Typically, a photoresist composition will contain the photopatternable polymer, an optional solvent for the photopatternable polymer, an optional sensitizer, and an optional photoinitiator. Solvents may be particularly desirable when the uncrosslinked photopatternable polymer has a high Tg. The solvent and photopatternable polymer typically are present in relative amounts of from 0 to about 99 percent by weight solvent and from about 1 to 100 percent polymer, preferably are present in relative amounts of from about 20 to about 60 percent by weight solvent and from about 40 to about 80 percent by weight polymer, and more preferably are present in relative amounts of from about 30 to about 60 percent by weight solvent and from about 40 to about 70 percent by weight polymer, although the relative amounts can be outside these ranges.
- Sensitizers absorb light energy and facilitate the transfer of energy to unsaturated bonds which can then react to crosslink or chain extend the resin. Sensitizers frequently expand the useful energy wavelength range for photoexposure, and typically are aromatic light absorbing chromophores. Sensitizers can also lead to the formation of photoinitiators, which can be free radical or ionic. When present, the optional sensitizer and the photopatternable polymer typically are present in relative amounts of from about 0.1 to about 20 percent by weight sensitizer and from about 80 to about 99.9 percent by weight photopatternable polymer, and preferably are present in relative amounts of from about 1 to about 10 percent by weight sensitizer and from about 90 to about 99 percent by weight photopatternable polymer, although the relative amounts can be outside these ranges.
- Photoinitiators generally generate ions or free radicals which initiate polymerization upon exposure to actinic radiation. When present, the optional photoinitiator and the photopatternable polymer typically are present in relative amounts of from about 0.1 to about 20 percent by weight photoinitiator and from about 80 to about 99.9 percent by weight photopatternable polymer, and preferably are present in relative amounts of from about 1 to about 10 percent by weight photoinitiator and from about 90 to about 99 percent by weight photopatternable polymer, although the relative amounts can be outside these ranges.
- A single material can also function as both a sensitizer and a photoinitiator.
- Examples of specific sensitizers and photoinitiators include Michler's ketone (Aldrich Chemical Co.), Darocure 1173, Darocure 4265, Irgacure 184, Irgacure 261, and Irgacure 907 (available from Ciba-Geigy, Ardsley, N.Y.), and mixtures thereof. Further background material on initiators is disclosed in, for example, Ober et al.,J.M.S.—Pure Appl. Chem., A30 (12), 877-897 (1993); G. E. Green, B. P. Stark, and S. A. Zahir, “Photocrosslinkable Resin Systems,” J. Macro. Sci. Revs. Macro. Chem., C21(2), 187 (1981); H. F. Gruber, “Photoinitiators for Free Radical Polymerization,” Prog. Polym. Sci., Vol. 17, 953 (1992); Johann G. Kloosterboer, “Network Formation by Chain Crosslinking Photopolymerization and Its Applications in Electronics,” Advances in Polymer Science, 89, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg (1988); and “Diaryliodonium Salts as Thermal Initiators of Cationic Polymerization,” J. V. Crivello, T. P. Lockhart, and J. L. Lee, J. of Polymer Science: Polymer Chemistry Edition, 21, 97 (1983), the disclosures of each of which are totally incorporated herein by reference. Sensitizers are available from, for example, Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, Wis., and Pfaltz and Bauer, Waterberry, Conn. Benzophenone and its derivatives can function as photosensitizers. Triphenylsulfonium and diphenyl iodonium salts are examples of typical cationic photoinitiators.
- The photoresist containing the allyl ether substituted polymer is developed by imagewise exposure of the material to radiation at a wavelength to which it is sensitive. While not being limited to any particular theory, it is believed that exposure to, for example, ultraviolet radiation generally opens the ethylenic linkage in the allyl ether groups and leads to crosslinking or chain extension at the “long” bond sites as shown below:

- or

-
- The photoresist containing the epoxidized polymer is developed by imagewise exposure of the material to radiation at a wavelength to which it is sensitive. While not being limited to any particular theory, it is believed that exposure to, for example, ultraviolet radiation generally causes generation of acidic species by the initiator, followed by reaction of the acidic species with the epoxy groups to cause ring opening and crosslinking or chain extension at the “long” bond sites as shown below:
-
-
-
- and the like, the inhibitor typically present in an amount of from about 500 to about 1,500 parts per million by weight of a photoresist solution containing about 40 percent by weight polymer solids, although the amount can be outside this range.
-
- In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a photoresist is prepared which comprises a mixture of the polymer substituted with photoactive groups, such as epoxy groups, and the halomethylated polymer. The halomethylated polymer, which can be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of the photosensitivity-imparting group substituted polymer, also functions as an accelerator which generates free radicals upon exposure to ultraviolet light, and thus can be used instead of or in addition to other accelerators or sensitizers, such as Michler's ketone or the like. In addition, the substitution of the halomethylated precursor with the photosensitivity-imparting groups can be controlled so as to yield a mixture containing a known proportion of the halomethyl residue. Accordingly, a photoresist can be prepared of the photosensitivity-imparting group substituted polymer without the need to add an additional initiator to the precursor material. Typically, the halomethylated polymer (which typically is substituted to a degree of from about 0.25 to about 2.0 halomethyl groups per monomer repeat unit, preferably from about 1 to about 2 halomethyl groups per monomer repeat unit, and more preferably from about 1.5 to about 2 halomethyl groups per monomer repeat unit) and the photosensitivity-imparting group substituted polymer (which typically is substituted to a degree of from about 0.25 to about 2.0 photosensitivity-imparting groups per monomer repeat unit, preferably from about 0.5 to about 1 photosensitivity-imparting group per monomer repeat unit, and more preferably from about 0.7 to about 0.8 photosensitivity-imparting group per monomer repeat unit) are present in relative amounts such that the degree of substitution when measured for the blended composition is from about 0.25 to about 1.5, preferably from about 0.5 to about 0.8, and more preferably about 0.75 photosensitivity-imparting groups per monomer repeat unit, and from about 0.25 to about 2.25, preferably from about 0.75 to about 2, and more preferably from about 0.75 to about 1 halomethyl group per monomer repeat unit, although the relative amounts can be outside these ranges. Similarly, a polymer substituted with both halomethyl and photosensitivity-imparting groups can function as an accelerator. In this instance, the accelerating polymer typically exhibits a degree of substitution of from about 0.25 to about 1.5, preferably from about 0.5 to about 0.8, and more preferably about 0.75 photosensitivity-imparting groups per monomer repeat unit, and from about 0.25 to about 2.25, preferably from about 0.75 to about 2, and more preferably from about 0.75 to about 1 halomethyl group per monomer repeat unit, although the relative amounts can be outside these ranges.
-
- wherein A is selected so that the monomeric unit contains a benzophenone moiety and x and B are as defined hereinabove, said polymer having at least one halomethyl substituent per monomer repeat unit in at least some of the monomer repeat units of the polymer, said polymer having at least one photosensitivity-imparting group per monomer repeat unit in at least some of the monomer repeat units of the polymer. Examples of suitable A groups for this embodiment include
- and the like. While not being limited to any particular theory, it is believed that in this embodiment, the presence of the benzophenone moiety acts as a photoabsorbing element in the polymer backbone and contributes to the photoinitiating characteristics of the polymer. In this embodiment, advantages include high sensitivity, high developability, and high aspect ratios in thick films.
- When the halomethylated polymer is present in relatively high concentrations in a photoresist with respect to the amount of photosensitivity-imparting group substituted polymer, the halomethylated material can also act as an ultraviolet polymerization inhibitor.
- Many of the photosensitivity-imparting groups which are indicated above as being capable of enabling crosslinking or chain extension of the polymer upon exposure to actinic radiation can also enable crosslinking or chain extension of the polymer upon exposure to elevated temperatures; thus the polymers of the present invention can also, if desired, be used in applications wherein thermal curing is employed.

-
- The precise degree of photosensitivity-imparting group substitution of the polymer may be difficult to control, and different batches of photosensitivity-imparting group substituted polymers may have somewhat different degrees of substitution even though the batches were prepared under similar conditions. Photoresist compositions containing polymers for which the degree of photosensitivity-imparting group substitution varies will exhibit variation in characteristics such as photospeed, imaging energy requirements, photosensitivity, shelf life, film forming characteristics, development characteristics, and the like. Accordingly, if desired, the photoresist composition can be formulated from a mixture of (A) a first component comprising a polymer, at least some of the monomer repeat units of which have at least one photosensitivity-imparting group thereon, said polymer having a first degree of photosensitivity-imparting group substitution measured in milliequivalents of photosensitivity-imparting group per gram and being of the above general formula; and (B) a second component which comprises either (1) a polymer having a second degree of photosensitivity-imparting group substitution measured in milliequivalents of photosensitivity-imparting group per gram lower than the first degree of photosensitivity-imparting group substitution, wherein said second degree of photosensitivity-imparting group substitution may be zero, wherein the mixture of the first component and the second component has a third degree of photosensitivity-imparting group substitution measured in milliequivalents of photosensitivity-imparting group per gram which is lower than the first degree of photosensitivity-imparting group substitution and higher than the second degree of photosensitivity-imparting group substitution, or (2) a reactive diluent having at least one photosensitivity-imparting group per molecule and having a fourth degree of photosensitivity-imparting group substitution measured in milliequivalents of photosensitivity-imparting group per gram, wherein the mixture of the first component and the second component has a fifth degree of photosensitivity-imparting group substitution measured in milliequivalents of photosensitivity-imparting group per gram which is higher than the first degree of photosensitivity-imparting group substitution and lower than the fourth degree of photosensitivity-imparting group substitution; wherein the weight average molecular weight of the mixture typically is from about 10,000 to about 50,000, preferably from about 10,000 to about 35,000, and more preferably from about 10,000 to about 25,000, although the weight average molecular weight of the blend can be outside these ranges; and wherein the third or fifth degree of photosensitivity-imparting group substitution typically is from about 0.25 to about 2 milliequivalents of photosensitivity-imparting group per gram of mixture, preferably 0.8 to about 1.4 milliequivalents of photosensitivity-imparting groups per gram of mixture, although the degree of substitution can be outside these ranges.
- The first photosensitivity-imparting group substituted polymer can be prepared as described hereinabove. In one embodiment of the present invention, the second component is a polymer which either is substituted with photosensitivity-imparting groups but to a lesser degree than the first polymer, or which does not contain photosensitivity-imparting group substituents. The second polymer may be selected from a wide variety of polymers. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, two different photosensitivity-imparting group substituted polymers are blended together, wherein one has a higher degree of substitution than the other. In another embodiment of the present invention, the second polymer is a polymer of the above general formula but having no photosensitivity-imparting group substituents, such as the polymer starting materials (and, if deep ultraviolet, x-ray, or electron beam radiation are not being used for photoexposure, the haloalkylated polymers prepared as described hereinabove). In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the second polymer is not necessarily a polymer of the above general formula, but is selected from any of a wide variety of other high performance polymers suitable for obtaining a desirable photoresist mixture with the desired characteristics, such as epoxies, polycarbonates, diallyl phthalates, chloromethylated bis-fluorenones, polyphenylenes, phenoxy resins, polyarylene ethers, poly (ether imides), polyarylene ether ketones, polyphenylene sulfides, polysulfones, poly (ether sulfones), polyphenyl triazines, polyimides, polyphenyl quinoxalines, other polyheterocyclic systems, and the like, as well as mixtures thereof. High performance polymers typically are moldable at temperatures above those at which their use is intended, and are useful for high temperature structural applications. While most high performance polymers are thermoplastic, some, such as phenolics, tend to be thermosetting. Any combination of photosensitivity-imparting group substituted polymers of the above formula, polymers having no photosensitivity-imparting group substituents but falling within the above general formula, and/or other polymers outside the scope of the above general formula can be used as the second polymer for the present invention. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, a photoresist is prepared from: (a) 60 parts by weight of a polyarylene ether ketone within the above general formula having 1 chloromethyl group per repeating monomer unit, 1 acrylate group per repeating monomer unit, and a number average molecular weight of 60,000; (b) 40 parts by weight of a polyarylene ether ketone resin within the above general formula but having no substituents thereon, with a number average molecular weight of 2,800 and a polydispersity (Mw/Mn) of about 2.5; and (c) 10 parts by weight of EPON 1001 adhesive resin (Shell Chemical Company, Houston, Tex.). This mixture has a degree of acryloylation of about 1.1 milliequivalents of acrylate per gram of resin solids and a weight average molecular weight of 34,000. Typically, when a photoresist is prepared from a mixture of an unsaturated ester substituted polymer of the above general formula and a second polymer having no unsaturated ester groups, a photoresist solution containing about 40 percent by weight polymer solids will contain from 10 to about 25 parts by weight of a polymer having unsaturated ester substituents and from about 10 to about 25 parts by weight of a polymer having no unsaturated ester substituents.
- Alternatively, the second component can be a reactive diluent. In some embodiments, the reactive diluent is a liquid, and can replace a solvent when the photopatternable polymer is too high in viscosity to be cured without solvents. In other embodiments, the reactive diluent is a solid. The reactive diluent has functional groups which are capable of polymerizing when the reactive diluent is exposed to actinic radiation at an energy or wavelength level which is capable of inducing crosslinking or chain extension in the photopatternable polymer. Reactive diluents preferably are monomeric or oligomeric, and include (but are not limited to) mono-, di-, tri-, and multi-functional unsaturated ester monomers and the like. Examples of suitable reactive diluents include monoacrylates, such as cyclohexyl acrylate, 2-ethoxy ethyl acrylate, 2-methoxy ethyl acrylate, 2(2-ethoxyethoxy) ethyl acrylate, stearyl acrylate, tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate, octyl acrylate, lauryl acrylate, behenyl acrylate, 2-phenoxy ethyl acrylate, tertiary butyl acrylate, glycidyl acrylate, isodecyl acrylate, benzyl acrylate, hexyl acrylate, isooctyl acrylate, isobornyl acrylate, butanediol monoacrylate, ethoxylated phenol monoacrylate, oxyethylated phenol acrylate, monomethoxy hexanediol acrylate, β-carboxy ethyl acrylate, dicyclopentyl acrylate, carbonyl acrylate, octyl decyl acrylate, ethoxylated nonylphenol acrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and the like, diacrylates, such as 1,3-butylene glycol diacrylate, 1,4-butanediol diacrylate, diethylene glycol diacrylate, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate, tetraethylene glycol diacrylate, triethylene glycol diacrylate, tripropylene glycol diacrylate, polybutanediol diacrylate, polyethylene glycol diacrylate, propoxylated neopentyl glycol diacrylate, ethoxylated neopentyl glycol diacrylate, polybutadiene diacrylate, and the like, polyacrylates, such as trimethylol propane triacrylate, pentaerythritol tetraacrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate, glycerol propoxy triacrylate, tris(2-hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate triacrylate, pentaacrylate ester, and the like, epoxy acrylates, polyester acrylates, polyether polyol acrylates, urethane acrylates, amine acrylates, acrylic acrylates, and the like. Mixtures of two or more materials can also be employed as the reactive diluent. Suitable reactive diluents are commercially available from, for example, Sartomer Co., Inc., Henkel Corp., Radcure Specialties, and the like. When the second component is a reactive diluent, typically, the first and second components are present in relative amounts of from about 5 to about 50 percent by weight reactive diluent (second component) and from about 50 to about 95 percent by weight polymer (first component), and preferably in relative amounts of from about 10 to about 20 percent by weight reactive diluent (second component) and from about 80 to about 90 percent by weight polymer (first component), although the relative amounts can be outside these ranges.
- If desired, to reduce the amount of residual halogen in a photoresist or other composition containing the polymers of the present invention, thereby also reducing or eliminating the generation of hydrohalic acid during a subsequent thermal curing step, any residual haloalkyl groups on the photopatternable polymer can be converted to methoxy groups, hydroxide groups, acetoxy groups, amine groups, or the like by any desired process, including those processes disclosed hereinabove, those disclosed in, for example, British Pat. No. 863,702,Chem Abstr. 55, 18667b (1961), and other publications previously incorporated herein by reference, and the like.
- Photopatternable epoxidized polymers prepared by the process of the present invention can be used as components in ink jet printheads. The printheads of the present invention can be of any suitable configuration. An example of a suitable configuration, suitable in this instance for thermal ink jet printing, is illustrated schematically in FIG. 1, which depicts an enlarged, schematic isometric view of the
front face 29 of aprinthead 10 showing the array ofdroplet emitting nozzles 27. Referring also to FIG. 2, discussed later, the lower electrically insulating substrate orheating element plate 28 has theheating elements 34 and addressingelectrodes 33 patterned onsurface 30 thereof, while the upper substrate orchannel plate 31 hasparallel grooves 20 which extend in one direction and penetrate through the upper substrate front faceedge 29. The other end ofgrooves 20 terminate atslanted wall 21, thefloor 41 of theinternal recess 24 which is used as the ink supply manifold for the capillary filledink channels 20, has anopening 25 therethrough for use as an ink fill hole. The surface of the channel plate with the grooves are aligned and bonded to theheater plate 28, so that a respective one of the plurality ofheating elements 34 is positioned in each channel, formed by the grooves and the lower substrate or heater plate. Ink enters the manifold formed by therecess 24 and thelower substrate 28 through thefill hole 25 and by capillary action, fills thechannels 20 by flowing through anelongated recess 38 formed in the thickfilm insulative layer 18. The ink at each nozzle forms a meniscus, the surface tension of which prevents the ink from weeping therefrom. The addressingelectrodes 33 on the lower substrate orchannel plate 28 terminate atterminals 32. The upper substrate orchannel plate 31 is smaller than that of the lower substrate in order that theelectrode terminals 32 are exposed and available for wire bonding to the electrodes on thedaughter board 19, on which theprinthead 10 is permanently mounted.Layer 18 is a thick film passivation layer, discussed later, sandwiched between the upper and lower substrates. This layer is etched to expose the heating elements, thus placing them in a pit, and is etched to form the elongated recess to enable ink flow between the manifold 24 and theink channels 20. In addition, the thick film insulative layer is etched to expose the electrode terminals. - A cross sectional view of FIG. 1 is taken along view line2-2 through one channel and shown as FIG. 2 to show how the ink flows from the manifold 24 and around the
end 21 of thegroove 20 as depicted byarrow 23. As is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,638,337, 4,601,777, and Re. 32,572, the disclosures of each of which are totally incorporated herein by reference, a plurality of sets of bubble generatingheating elements 34 and their addressingelectrodes 33 can be patterned on the polished surface of a single side polished (100) silicon wafer. Prior to patterning, the multiple sets ofprinthead electrodes 33, the resistive material that serves as theheating elements 34, and thecommon return 35, the polished surface of the wafer is coated with anunderglaze layer 39 such as silicon dioxide, having a typical thickness of from about 5,000 Angstroms to about 2 microns, although the thickness can be outside this range. The resistive material can be a doped polycrystalline silicon, which can be deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or any other well known resistive material such as zirconium boride (ZrB2). The common return and the addressing electrodes are typically aluminum leads deposited on the underglaze and over the edges of the heating elements. The common return ends orterminals 37 and addressingelectrode terminals 32 are positioned at predetermined locations to allow clearance for wire bonding to the electrodes (not shown) of thedaughter board 19, after thechannel plate 31 is attached to make a printhead. Thecommon return 35 and the addressingelectrodes 33 are deposited to a thickness typically of from about 0.5 to about 3 microns, although the thickness can be outside this range, with the preferred thickness being 1.5 microns. - If polysilicon heating elements are used, they may be subsequently oxidized in steam or oxygen at a relatively high temperature, typically about 1,100° C. although the temperature can be above or below this value, for a period of time typically of from about 50 to about 80 minutes, although the time period can be outside this range, prior to the deposition of the aluminum leads, in order to convert a small portion of the polysilicon to SiO2. In such cases, the heating elements are thermally oxidized to achieve an overglaze (not shown) of SiO2 with a thickness typically of from about 500 Angstroms to about 1 micron, although the thickness can be outside this range, which has good integrity with substantially no pinholes.
- In one embodiment, polysilicon heating elements are used and an optional silicon dioxide
thermal oxide layer 17 is grown from the polysilicon in high temperature steam. The thermal oxide layer is typically grown to a thickness of from about 0.5 to about 1 micron, although the thickness can be outside this range, to protect and insulate the heating elements from the conductive ink. The thermal oxide is removed at the edges of the polysilicon heating elements for attachment of the addressing electrodes and common return, which are then patterned and deposited. If a resistive material such as zirconium boride is used for the heating elements, then other suitable well known insulative materials can be used for the protective layer thereover. Before electrode passivation, a tantalum (Ta) layer (not shown) can be optionally deposited, typically to a thickness of about 1 micron, although the thickness can be above or below this value, on the heating elementprotective layer 17 for added protection thereof against the cavitational forces generated by the collapsing ink vapor bubbles during printhead operation. The tantalum layer is etched off all but theprotective layer 17 directly over the heating elements using, for example, CF4/O2 plasma etching. For polysilicon heating elements, the aluminum common return and addressing electrodes typically are deposited on the underglaze layer and over the opposing edges of the polysilicon heating elements which have been cleared of oxide for the attachment of the common return and electrodes. - For electrode passivation, a
film 16 is deposited over the entire wafer surface, including the plurality of sets of heating elements and addressing electrodes. Thepassivation film 16 provides an ion barrier which will protect the exposed electrodes from the ink. Examples of suitable ion barrier materials forpassivation film 16 include polyimide, plasma nitride, phosphorous doped silicon dioxide, materials disclosed herein as being suitable forinsulative layer 18, and the like, as well as any combinations thereof. An effective ion barrier layer is generally achieved when its thickness is from about 1000 Angstroms to about 10 microns, although the thickness can be outside this range. In 300 dpi printheads,passivation layer 16 preferably has a thickness of about 3 microns, although the thickness can be above or below this value. In 600 dpi printheads, the thickness ofpassivation layer 16 preferably is such that the combined thickness oflayer 16 andlayer 18 is about 25 microns, although the thickness can be above or below this value. The passivation film orlayer 16 is etched off of the terminal ends of the common return and addressing electrodes for wire bonding later with the daughter board electrodes. This etching of the silicon dioxide film can be by either the wet or dry etching method. Alternatively, the electrode passivation can be by plasma deposited silicon nitride (Si3N4). - Next, a thick film
type insulative layer 18, of a polymeric material discussed in further detail herein, is formed on thepassivation layer 16, typically having a thickness of from about 10 to about 100 microns and preferably in the range of from about 25 to about 50 microns, although the thickness can be outside these ranges. Even more preferably, in 300 dpi printheads,layer 18 preferably has a thickness of about 30 microns, and in 600 dpi printheads,layer 18 preferably has a thickness of from about 20 to about 22 microns, although other thicknesses can be employed. Theinsulative layer 18 is photolithographically processed to enable etching and removal of those portions of thelayer 18 over each heating element (forming recesses 26), theelongated recess 38 for providing ink passage from the manifold 24 to theink channels 20, and over eachelectrode terminal elongated recess 38 is formed by the removal of this portion of thethick film layer 18. Thus, thepassivation layer 16 alone protects theelectrodes 33 from exposure to the ink in thiselongated recess 38. Optionally, if desired,insulative layer 18 can be applied as a series of thin layers of either similar or different composition. Typically, a thin layer is deposited, photoexposed, partially cured, followed by deposition of the next thin layer, photoexposure, partial curing, and the like. The thin layers constituting thickfilm insulative layer 18 contain a polymer of the formula indicated hereinabove. In one embodiment of the present invention, a first thin layer is applied to contactlayer 16, said first thin layer containing a mixture of a polymer of the formula indicated hereinabove and an epoxy polymer, followed by photoexposure, partial curing, and subsequent application of one or more successive thin layers containing a polymer of the formula indicated hereinabove. - FIG. 3 is a similar view to that of FIG. 2 with a shallow anisotropically etched
groove 40 in the heater plate, which is silicon, prior to formation of theunderglaze 39 and patterning of theheating elements 34,electrodes 33 andcommon return 35. Thisrecess 40 permits the use of only the thickfilm insulative layer 18 and eliminates the need for the usualelectrode passivating layer 16. Since thethick film layer 18 is impervious to water and relatively thick (typically from about 20 to about 40 microns, although the thickness can be outside this range), contamination introduced into the circuitry will be much less than with only the relativelythin passivation layer 16 well known in the art. The heater plate is a fairly hostile environment for integrated circuits. Commercial ink generally entails a low attention to purity. As a result, the active part of the heater plate will be at elevated temperature adjacent to a contaminated aqueous ink solution which undoubtedly abounds with mobile ions. In addition, it is generally desirable to run the heater plate at a voltage of from about 30 to about 50 volts, so that there will be a substantial field present. Thus, the thickfilm insulative layer 18 provides improved protection for the active devices and provides improved protection, resulting in longer operating lifetime for the heater plate. - When a plurality of
lower substrates 28 are produced from a single silicon wafer, at a convenient point after the underglaze is deposited, at least two alignment markings (not shown) preferably are photolithographically produced at predetermined locations on thelower substrates 28 which make up the silicon wafer. These alignment markings are used for alignment of the plurality ofupper substrates 31 containing the ink channels. The surface of the single sided wafer containing the plurality of sets of heating elements is bonded to the surface of the wafer containing the plurality of ink channel containing upper substrates subsequent to alignment. - As disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,601,777 and 4,638,337, the disclosures of each of which are totally incorporated herein by reference, the channel plate is formed from a two side polished, (100) silicon wafer to produce a plurality of
upper substrates 31 for the printhead. After the wafer is chemically cleaned, a pyrolytic CVD silicon nitride layer (not shown) is deposited on both sides. Using conventional photolithography, a via forfill hole 25 for each of the plurality ofchannel plates 31 and at least two vias for alignment openings (not shown) at predetermined locations are printed on one wafer side. The silicon nitride is plasma etched off of the patterned vias representing the fill holes and alignment openings. A potassium hydroxide (KOH) anisotropic etch can be used to etch the fill holes and alignment openings. In this case, the [111] planes of the (100) wafer typically make an angle of about 54.7 degrees with the surface of the wafer. The fill holes are small square surface patterns, generally of about 20 mils (500 microns) per side, although the dimensions can be above or below this value, and the alignment openings are from about 60 to about 80 mils (1.5 to 3 millimeters) square, although the dimensions can be outside this range. Thus, the alignment openings are etched entirely through the 20 mil (0.5 millimeter) thick wafer, while the fill holes are etched to a terminating apex at about halfway through to three-quarters through the wafer. The relatively small square fill hole is invariant to further size increase with continued etching so that the etching of the alignment openings and fill holes are not significantly time constrained. - Next, the opposite side of the wafer is photolithographically patterned, using the previously etched alignment holes as a reference to form the relatively large
rectangular recesses 24 and sets of elongated, parallel channel recesses that will eventually become the ink manifolds and channels of the printheads. Thesurface 22 of the wafer containing the manifold and channel recesses are portions of the original wafer surface (covered by a silicon nitride layer) on which an adhesive, such as a thermosetting epoxy, will optionally be applied later for bonding it to the substrate containing the plurality of sets of heating elements. The adhesive is applied in a manner such that it does not run or spread into the grooves or other recesses. The alignment markings can be used with, for example, a vacuum chuck mask aligner to align the channel wafer on the heating element and addressing electrode wafer. The two wafers are accurately mated and can be tacked together by partial curing of the adhesive. - Incorporation of the epoxy groups into the photopatternable polyarylene ether enables or improves adhesion of the polyarylene ether layer to the heater plate, and possibly also to the channel plate. Subsequent to imaging and during cure of the polyarylene ether, the epoxy groups react with the heater layer to form strong chemical bonds with that layer, improving adhesive strength and solvent resistance of the interface. The presence of the epoxy groups may also improve the hydrophilicity of the polyarylene ether and thus may improve the wetting properties of the layer, thereby improving the refill characteristics of the printhead.
- Alternatively, the heating element and channel wafers can be given precisely diced edges and then manually or automatically aligned in a precision jig. Alignment can also be performed with an infrared aligner-bonder, with an infrared microscope using infrared opaque markings on each wafer to be aligned, or the like. The two wafers can then be cured in an oven or laminator to bond them together permanently. The channel wafer can then be milled to produce individual upper substrates. A final dicing cut, which produces
end face 29, opens one end of theelongated groove 20 producingnozzles 27. The other ends of thechannel groove 20 remain closed byend 21. However, the alignment and bonding of the channel plate to the heater plate places theends 21 ofchannels 20 directly overelongated recess 38 in the thickfilm insulative layer 18 as shown in FIG. 2 or directly above therecess 40 as shown in FIG. 3 enabling the flow of ink into the channels from the manifold as depicted byarrows 23. The plurality of individual printheads produced by the final dicing are bonded to the daughter board and the printhead electrode terminals are wire bonded to the daughter board electrodes. - In one embodiment, a heater wafer with a phosphosilicate glass layer is spin coated with a solution of Z6020 adhesion promoter (0.01 weight percent in 95 parts methanol and 5 parts water, Dow Corning) at 3000 revolutions per minute for 10 seconds and dried at 100° C. for between 2 and 10 minutes. The wafer is then allowed to cool at 25° C. for 5 minutes before spin coating the photoresist containing the photopatternable polymer onto the wafer at between 1,000 and 3,000 revolutions per minute for between 30 and 60 seconds. The photoresist solution is made by dissolving polyarylene ether ketone with from about 1 to about 1.5 epoxy groups and from about 0.1 to about 1.0 chloromethyl groups per repeat unit and a number average molecular weight of from about 5,000 to about 7,000 (polydispersity ([Mw/Mn] of from about 2 to about 5) in N-methylpyrrolidinone at 40 weight percent solids with Michler's ketone (1.2 parts ketone per every 10 parts of 40 weight percent solids polymer solution). If desired, a curing agent, such as the “Y” curative (meta-phenylenediamine) or the like, as well as mixtures thereof, can also be included in the photoresist solution. The film is heated (soft baked) in an oven for between 10 and 15 minutes at 70° C. After cooling to 25° C. over 5 minutes, the film is covered with a mask and exposed to 365 nanometer ultraviolet light, amounting to between 150 and 1,500 milliJoules per cm2. The exposed wafer is then heated at 70° C. for 2 minutes post exposure bake, followed by cooling to 25° C. over 5 minutes. The film is developed with any suitable developer, such as 60:40 chloroform/cyclohexanone, mixtures of cyclohexanone and methyl ethyl ketone, or the like, washed with 90:10 hexanes/cyclohexanone, and then dried at 70° C. for 2 minutes. A second developer/wash cycle is carried out if necessary to obtain a wafer with clean features. The processed wafer is transferred to an oven at 25° C., and the oven temperature is raised from 25 to 90° C. at 20° C. per minute. The temperature is maintained at 90° C. for 2 hours, and then increased to 260° C. at 2° C. per minute. The oven temperature is maintained at 260° C. for 2 hours and then the oven is turned off and the temperature is allowed to cool gradually to 250° C. When thermal cure of the photoresist films is carried out under inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen or one of the noble gases, such as argon, neon, krypton, xenon, or the like, there is markedly reduced oxidation of the developed film and improved thermal and hydrolytic stability of the resultant devices. Moreover, adhesion of developed photoresist film is improved to the underlying substrate. If a second layer is spin coated over the first layer, the heat cure of the first developed layer can be stopped between 80 and 260° C. before the second layer is spin coated onto the first layer. A second thicker layer is deposited by repeating the above procedure a second time. This process is intended to be a guide in that procedures can be outside the specified conditions depending on film thickness and photoresist molecular weight. Films at 30 microns have been developed with clean features at 600 dots per inch.
- For best results with respect to well-resolved features and high aspect ratios, photoresist compositions of the present invention are free of particulates prior to coating onto substrates. In one preferred embodiment, the photoresist composition containing the photopatternable polymer is subjected to filtration through a 2 micron nylon filter cloth (available from Tetko). The photoresist solution is filtered through the cloth under yellow light or in the dark as a solution containing from about 30 to about 60 percent by weight solids using compressed air (up to about 60 psi) and a pressure filtration funnel. No dilution of the photoresist solution is required, and concentrations of an inhibitor (such as, for example, MEHQ) can be as low as, for example, 500 parts per million or less by weight without affecting shelf life. No build in molecular weight of the photopatternable polymer is observed during this filtration process. While not being limited to any particular theory, it is believed that in some instances, such as those when unsaturated ester groups are present on the photopolymerizable polymer, compressed air yields results superior to those obtainable with inert atmosphere because oxygen in the compressed air acts as an effective inhibitor for the free radical polymerization of unsaturated ester groups such as acrylates and methacrylates.
- In another embodiment, the photopatternable polymer is admixed with an epoxy resin in relative amounts of from about 75 parts by weight photopatternable polymer and about 25 parts by weight epoxy resin to about 90 parts by weight photopatternable polymer and about 10 parts by weight epoxy resin. Examples of suitable epoxy resins include EPON 1001F, available from Shell Chemical Company, Houston, Tex., believed to be of the formula
- and the like, as well as mixtures thereof. Curing agents such as the “Y” curative (meta-phenylenediamine) and the like, as well as mixtures thereof, can be used to cure the epoxy resin at typical relative amounts of about 10 weight percent curative per gram of epoxy resin solids. Process conditions for the epoxy resin blended with the photopatternable polymer are generally similar to those used to process the photoresist without epoxy resin. Incorporation of the epoxy resin into the photopatternable polymer material improves the adhesion of the photopatternable layer to the heater plate. Subsequent to imaging and during cure of the photopatternable polymer, the epoxy reacts with the heater layer to form strong chemical bonds with that layer, improving adhesive strength and solvent resistance of the interface. The presence of the epoxy may also improve the hydrophilicity of the photopatternable polymer and thus may improve the wetting properties of the layer, thereby improving the refill characteristics of the printhead.
- The printhead illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 3 constitutes a specific embodiment of the present invention. Any other suitable printhead configuration comprising ink-bearing channels terminating in nozzles on the printhead surface can also be employed with the materials disclosed herein to form a printhead of the present invention.
- The present invention also encompasses printing processes with printheads according to the present invention. One embodiment of the present invention is directed to an ink jet printing process which comprises (1) preparing an ink jet printhead comprising a plurality of channels, wherein the channels are capable of being filled with ink from an ink supply and wherein the channels terminate in nozzles on one surface of the printhead, said preparation being according to the process of the present invention; (2) filling the channels with an ink; and (3) causing droplets of ink to be expelled from the nozzles onto a receiver sheet in an image pattern. A specific embodiment of this process is directed to a thermal ink jet printing process, wherein the droplets of ink are caused to be expelled from the nozzles by heating selected channels in an image pattern. The droplets can be expelled onto any suitable receiver sheet, such as fabric, plain paper such as Xerox® 4024 or 4010, coated papers, transparency materials, or the like.

These examples are intended to be illustrative, and the invention is not limited to the materials, conditions, or process parameters set forth in these embodiments. All parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise indicated.

- wherein n is between about 2 and about 30 (hereinafter referred to as poly(4-CPK-BPA)) was prepared as follows. A 5 liter, 3-neck round-bottom flask equipped with a Dean-Stark (Barrett) trap, condenser, mechanical stirrer, argon inlet, and stopper was situated in a silicone oil bath. 4,4′-Dichlorobenzophenone (Aldrich 11,370, Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, Wis., 250 grams), bis-phenol A (Aldrich 23,965-8, 244.8 grams), potassium carbonate (327.8 grams), anhydrous N,N-dimethylacetamide (1,500 milliliters), and toluene (275 milliliters) were added to the flask and heated to 175° C. (oil bath temperature) while the volatile toluene component was collected and removed. After 48 hours of heating at 175° C. with continuous stirring, the reaction mixture was filtered to remove insoluble salts, and the resultant solution was added to methanol (5 gallons) to precipitate the polymer. The polymer was isolated by filtration, and the wet filter cake was washed with water (3 gallons) and then with methanol (3 gallons). The yield was 360 grams of vacuum dried product. The molecular weight of the polymer was determined by gel permeation chromatography (gpc) (elution solvent was tetrahydrofuran) with the following results: Mn 3,601, Mpeak 5,377, Mw 4,311, Mz 8,702, and Mz+1 12,951. The glass transition temperature of the polymer was between 125 and 155° C. as determined using differential scanning calorimetry at a heating rate of 20° C. per minute dependent on molecular weight. Solution cast films from methylene chloride were clear, tough, and flexible. As a result of the stoichiometries used in the reaction, it is believed that this polymer had end groups derived from bis-phenol A.
- A solution of chloromethyl ether in methyl acetate was made by adding 282.68 grams (256 milliliters) of acetyl chloride to a mixture of dimethoxy methane (313.6 grams, 366.8 milliliters) and methanol (10 milliliters) in a 5 liter 3-neck round-bottom flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, argon inlet, reflux condenser, and addition funnel. The solution was diluted with 1,066.8 milliliters of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane and then tin tetrachloride (2.4 milliliters) was added via a gas-tight syringe along with 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (133.2 milliliters) using an addition funnel. The reaction solution was heated to 500° C. Thereafter, a solution of poly(4-CPK-BPA) prepared as described in Example I (160.8 grams) in 1,000 milliliters of tetrachloroethane was added rapidly. The reaction mixture was then heated to reflux with an oil bath set at 110° C. After two hours reflux with continuous stirring, heating was discontinued and the mixture was allowed to cool to 25° C. The reaction mixture was transferred in stages to a 2 liter round bottom flask and concentrated using a rotary evaporator with gentle heating up to 50° C. while reduced pressure was maintained with a vacuum pump trapped with liquid nitrogen. The concentrate was added to methanol (4 gallons) to precipitate the polymer using a Waring blender. The polymer was isolated by filtration and vacuum dried to yield 200 grams of poly(4-CPK-BPA) with 1.0 chloromethyl groups per repeat unit as identified using1H NMR spectroscopy.
- A 1-liter, 3-neck flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, argon inlet, and addition funnel was charged with 175 milliliters of freshly distilled tetrahydrofuran. Sodium hydride (6 grams), obtained from Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, Wis., was added, followed by addition of 2-allyl phenol (5 grams) dropwise, resulting in vigorous hydrogen gas evolution. Thereafter, a solution containing 5 grams of a chloromethylated polyarylene ether ketone prepared as described in Example II in 50 milliliters of tetrahydrofuran was added. Stirring at 25° C. was continued for 48 hours. The resulting polymer was filtered and the supernatant fluid was concentrated using a rotary evaporator. The concentrate was then added to methanol to precipitate the polymer, followed by in vacuo drying of the polymer.
- The dried polymer (0.2 grams) in methylene chloride (100 milliliters) was then treated with 1 gram of m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (obtained from Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, Wis.) and magnetically stirred for 2 hours in a 200 milliliter bottle. The polymer was then added to saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (200 milliliters) and the methylene chloride was removed using a rotary evaporator. The resulting epoxidized polymer was filtered, washed with methanol (3 cups), and vacuum dried.
- The epoxidized polymer in N-methyl pyrrolidinone (40 weight percent polymer solids) was rendered photochemically active by the addition of Irgacure 261 (obtained from Ciba-Geigy, Ardsley, N.Y.) to the solution in an amount of 4 percent by weight of the polymer. Exposure to ultraviolet light, followed by heating to 70° C., and development with a cyclohexanone-methyl ethyl ketone mixture, yielded microlithographic patterns. Subsequent thermal curing to 260° C. completely crosslinked the polymer, rendering it impervious to solvents such as N-methylpyrrolidinone, methylene chloride, acetone, and hexanes.
- The process of Example III was repeated with the exception that 5 grams of allyl alcohol were used instead of the 2-allylphenol. Similar results were obtained.

(oil bath temperature) while the volatile toluene component was collected and removed. After 24 hours of heating at 175° C. with continuous stirring, the reaction mixture was filtered to remove potassium carbonate and precipitated into methanol (2 gallons). The polymer (poly(4-CPK-BPA)) was isolated in 86% yield after filtration and drying in vacuo. GPC analysis was as follows: Mn 4,239, Mpeak 9,164, Mw 10,238, Mz 18,195, and Mz+1 25,916. Solution cast films from methylene chloride were clear, tough, and flexible.

The solidified mass was treated with acetic acid (vinegar) and extracted with methylene chloride, filtered, and added to methanol to precipitate the polymer, which was collected by filtration, washed with water, and then washed with methanol. The yield of vacuum dried product, poly(4-FPK-BPA), was 12.22 grams. The polymer was analyzed by gel permeation chromatography (gpc) (elution solvent was tetrahydrofuran) with the following results: Mn 5,158, Mpeak 15,080, Mw 17,260, and Mz+1 39,287. To obtain a lower molecular weight, the reaction can be repeated with a 15 mol % offset in stoichiometry.

- was prepared as follows. To a 2-liter flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, argon inlet, Dean Stark trap, condenser, and stopper and situated in an oil bath was added toluene (152 grams). The oil bath temperature was raised to 130° C. and 12.5 grams of toluene were removed. There was no indication of water. The flask was removed from the oil bath and allowed to cool to 25° C. 2,4-Dichlorobenzoyl chloride (0.683 mol, 143 grams) was added to form a solution. Thereafter, anhydrous aluminum chloride (0.8175 mol, 109 grams) was added portion-wise over 15 minutes with vigorous gas evolution of hydrochloric acid as determined by odor. The solution turned orange-yellow and then red. The reaction was stirred for 16 hours under argon, and on removing the solvent, a solid lump was obtained. The mass was extracted with methylene chloride (1 liter), which was then dried over potassium carbonate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated using a rotary evaporator and a vacuum pump to yield an oil which, upon cooling, became a solid crystalline mass. Recrystallization from methanol (1 liter) at −15° C. gave 82.3 grams of 4′-methylbenzoyl-2,4-dichlorobenzene (melting point 55-56° C.) in the first crop, 32 grams of product (from 500 milliliters of methanol) in the second crop, and 16.2 grams of product in the third crop.
