Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a substrate with a patterned film. The production method of a substrate with a patterned film of the present disclosure can be used, for example, for production of a display element by an ink-jet method. Examples of the display element include an organic electroluminescence display (hereafter, referred to as an organic EL display), a micro light emitting diode display (hereafter, referred to as a micro-LED display), and a quantum dot display.


BACKGROUND ART

An ink-jet method is known to be employed for production of display elements such as an organic EL display, a micro-LED display, and a quantum dot display.


Examples of a production method of these display elements by an ink-jet method include a method of forming a pattern by unevenness of a film on a substrate and dropping ink through a nozzle onto the recesses of the pattern, followed by solidifying of the ink, and a method of forming a patterned film including a lyophilic part to be wetted with ink and a lyophobic part that repels ink on a substrate in advance and dropping ink on the patterned film to adhere the ink to the lyophilic part.


In the method of dropping ink through a nozzle onto depressions (recesses) of the patterned film having unevenness and solidifying the ink, such a patterned film is produced by photolithography or imprinting. In the photolithography, a resist film formed on a substrate is exposed in a pattern, whereby a pattern including an exposed part and an unexposed part is formed. Either one part is dissolved in a developing solution to provide the resist film with unevenness. In the imprinting, a patterned film with unevenness is formed on a substrate by a printing technique. In such a patterned film with unevenness, the substrate surface is preferably exposed in the recesses and the exposed substrate surface is preferably lyophilic.


In an ink-jet method, a protrusion of a patterned film with unevenness is called a bank. The bank serves as a barrier for preventing mixing of ink upon dropping of ink onto the recesses of the patterned film by ink-jetting.


For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a composition for an organic EL element used as ink in the production of an organic EL display by an ink-jet method. According to Patent Literature 1, a bank is formed on a substrate in advance, and ink (a composition for an organic EL element) to be formed into a light emitting layer is dropped, whereby a display element for an organic EL display is produced.


Patent Literature 2 discloses a method for producing a color filter for a liquid crystal, including forming a photosensitive compound layer containing a hydrophobic and lipophobic compound having a surface tension or a critical surface tension of 2.5×10−2 [N/m] or less by photolithography on a light shielding part formed on a light-transmitting substrate, and arranging a colorant on a light-transmitting part of the substrate by ink ejection using an ink-jet recorder. According to Patent Literature 2, the presence of a fluoropolymer or a fluorochemical surfactant in the photosensitive compound layer forming a bank enhances the lyophobicity of the bank and such a bank prevents intrusion of ink over the bank into the adjacent recess upon dropping of the ink onto the recesses of the patterned film by ink-jetting.


Patent Literature 3 discloses a lyophobic resist composition for obtaining a pattern including a lyophobic region and a lyophilic region by photolithography. According to Patent Literature 3, the use of the lyophobic resist composition enables formation of a lyophobic/lyophilic pattern having a clear ink-wetting contrast by an ink-jet method. The substrate surface serving as a recess is made lyophilic and the bank surface is made lyophobic for the purpose of preventing intrusion of ink over the bank into the adjacent recess upon dropping of the ink onto the recesses of the patterned film by an ink-jet method.


Patent Literature 4 discloses a patterning substrate used in an ink-jet method. The patterning substrate contains a thin film including a bank having a predetermined height and a region to be coated which is partitioned by the bank. According to Patent Literature 4, the region to be coated which is a recess is lyophilic and the bank which is a protrusion is lyophobic.


Patent Literature 5 discloses a positive photosensitive resin composition that is capable of forming an image and provides a cured film having high hydrophobicity and lipophobicity on the surface. According to Patent Literature 5, the positive photosensitive resin composition is suitably used for an interlayer insulating film in s display device such as a liquid crystal display or an EL display, and a light shielding material and partition material each compatible with an ink-jet method.


According to Patent Literatures 4 and 5, a recess of a patterned film is lyophobic due to failures such as organic contamination of the substrate surface as the recess of the patterned film in the case of forming the patterned film on a substrate by photolithography and film residues on the recess of the patterned film in the case of forming the patterned film by imprinting. Therefore, the substrate with a patterned film provided using a hydrophilic ink is subjected to hydrophilization, so that the recess of the patterned film is made hydrophilic. The hydrophilization allows the recess of the patterned film not to repel ink in ink-jetting. Accordingly, dropping of ink onto the substrate with a patterned film is facilitated.


According to Patent Literature 4, contact between a substrate with a patterned film and oxygen plasma gas and fluorine plasma gas allows the substrate surface that is a recess of the patterned film to have hydrophilicity and the bank that is a protrusion of the patterned film to have hydrophobicity.


According to Patent Literature 5, the positive photosensitive resin composition of the disclosure can provide a substrate with a patterned film in which the surface of the patterned film serving as a bank maintains high lyophobicity even after UV/ozone cleaning during the hydrophilization.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION
Technical Problem

As described in Patent Literatures 4 and 5, UV/ozone cleaning or oxygen plasma cleaning is performed on a substrate with a patterned film for the purpose of increasing the lyophilicity of the substrate surface that is a recess of the patterned film. Unfortunately, the cleaning lowers the lyophobicity of the bank. In such a case, upon dropping of ink onto the recess of the patterned film by an ink-jet method, the ink may climb over the bank or the bank may be dissolved in the ink.


The present disclosure provides a production method of a substrate with a patterned film for solving the above problem.


Solution to Problem

The present inventors made intensive studies to solve the above problem, and found out the following fact. UV/ozone cleaning or oxygen plasma cleaning performed on a substrate with a patterned film containing a specific fluorine-containing copolymer lowers the lyophobicity of the patterned film once. However, heating treatment performed thereafter provides the lyophobicity (recovers the lyophobicity).


A patterned film containing a specific fluorine-containing copolymer after UV/ozone cleaning or oxygen plasma cleaning showed lower lyophobicity against water and anisole used as an ink solvent in an ink-jet method. Heating of the patterned film however recovered the lyophobicity against both water and anisole (see Tables 2 and 4 of EXAMPLES herein). Similarly, a patterned film containing a specific fluorine-containing copolymer after UV/ozone cleaning or oxygen plasma cleaning also showed lower lyophobicity against propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) and xylene. Heating of the patterned film however recovered the lyophobicity against both PGMEA and xylene (see Tables 6 and 8 of EXAMPLES herein). As described above, the present inventors found out that heating of a patterned film containing a specific fluorine-containing copolymer after UV cleaning unexpectedly remarkably recovers the lyophobicity.


The surface of a patterned film subjected to UV/ozone cleaning or oxygen plasma cleaning is oxidized to be lyophilic. However, owing to the use of a special fluorine-containing copolymer capable of suppressing cleavage of the polymer main chain, presumably, alkyl fluoride parts having a small surface free energy move to the film surface along with the molecular motion caused by heating, whereby the lyophobicity is recovered.


UV/ozone cleaning herein refers to a method of removing organic contaminants. In the method, a substrate with a patterned film is irradiated with UV rays for decomposition of binding of organic contaminants adhering to the patterned film and a recess of the substrate with a patterned film, and at the same time, active oxygen separated from ozone generated by UV irradiation chemically binds to the organic contaminants to decompose the organic contaminants to volatile matters such as carbon dioxide and water. Thus, organic contaminants are removed. The UV irradiation device typically used is a low-pressure mercury lamp.


Oxygen plasma cleaning herein refers to a method of removing organic contaminants. In the method, a high voltage is applied to gas containing oxygen molecules to dissociate oxygen molecules, thereby generating active oxygen. The active oxygen decomposes organic contaminants adhering to the surface of the substrate with a patterned film to volatile matters such as carbon dioxide and water. Thus, organic contaminants are removed.

The fluorine-containing copolymers (1) to (3) can be synthesized by a common polymerization method using the monomers (A1), (B1), and (C1) as raw materials. Preferred are radical polymerization and ion polymerization. In some cases, coordinated anionic polymerization, living anionic polymerization, or cationic polymerization may be selected.

Examples of such a basic compound include aliphatic amines, aromatic amines, heterocyclic amines, and aliphatic polycyclic amines. Preferred are secondary or tertiary aliphatic amines and alkyl alcohol amines. Examples of such amines include trimethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, tributylamine, tripentylamine, trihexylamine, triheptylamine, trioctylamine, trinonylamine, tridecylamine, tridodecylamine, dimethylamine, diethylamine, dipropylamine, dibutylamine, dipentylamine, dihexylamine, diheptylamine, dioctylamine, dinonylamine, didecylamine, didodecylamine, dicyclohexylamine, methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, butylamine, pentylamine, hexylamine, heptylamine, octylamine, nonylamine, decylamine, dodecylamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, diisopropanolamine, triisopropanolamine, dioctanolamine, trioctanolamine, aniline, pyridine, picoline, lutidine, bipyridine, pyrrole, piperidine, piperazine, indole, and hexamethylenetetramine. Each of these basic compounds may be used alone or in combination of two or more.


The amount of the basic compound (f) in the resist is preferably 0.001 to 2 parts by mass, more preferably 0.01 to 1 part by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the fluorine-containing copolymer (a) such as the fluorine-containing copolymers (1) to (3). The basic compound (f) in an amount of less than 0.001 parts by mass fails to sufficiently provide an effect as an additive. The basic compound (f) in an amount of more than 2 parts by mass may lower the resolution property and sensitivity.


5-6. Crosslinking Agent (g)

The resist may contain a crosslinking agent (g) as needed. A known agent may be used as the crosslinking agent (g). Examples of the crosslinking agents include 2,4,6-tris [bis(methoxymethyl)amino]-1,3,5-triazine (methylol melamine curing agent) and its derivatives, 1, 3, 4, 6-tetrakis(methoxymethyl)glycoluril (glycoluril curing agent) and its derivatives, polyfunctional epoxy compounds, polyfunctional oxetane compounds, and polyfunctional isocyanate compounds. Multiple types of crosslinking agents may be used.


6. Formation of Pattern

Formation of a pattern in the production method of a substrate with a patterned film of the present disclosure is described. Formation of a pattern includes: a film-forming step in which the resist is applied onto a substrate to form a film; an exposure step in which the film is exposed to an electron magnetic wave or electron beam having a wavelength of 600 nm or shorter through a photomask so that the photomask pattern is transferred to the film; and a development step in which the film is developed using a developing solution to obtain a pattern.


A pattern can be formed using a resist containing a fluorine-containing copolymer such as the fluorine-containing copolymers (1) to (3), through a film-forming step (a) in which the resist is applied onto a substrate to form a resist film; an exposure step (b) in which the resist film is heated and then exposed to an electron magnetic wave or electron beam having a wavelength of 600 nm or shorter through a patterned photomask; and a development step (c) in which the exposed resist film is developed using an alkali developing solution or an organic solvent to obtain a resist pattern that is a pattern transferred from the photomask on the substrate.


Hereinbelow, each step is described with reference to examples.


6-1. Film-Forming Step (a)

In the film-forming step (a), the resist containing a fluorine-containing copolymer, such as the fluorine-containing copolymers (1) to (3), is applied to a substrate such as a silicon wafer by spin coating, and the silicon wafer is heated on a hot plate at 60° C. or higher but 200° C. or lower for 10 seconds or longer but 10 minutes or shorter, preferably at 80° C. or higher but 150° C. or lower for 30 seconds or longer but two minutes or shorter. Thus, a resist film is formed on the substrate.


The substrate may be, for example, a silicon wafer, a metal substrate, or a glass substrate. An organic or inorganic film may be provided on the substrate. For example, an anti-reflection film or an underlayer of a multilayer resist may be provided, and a pattern may be formed on that film.


6-2. Exposure Step (b)

In the exposure step (b), a photomask is set on an exposure device, and the resist film is irradiated with an electromagnetic wave or an electron beam having a wavelength of 600 nm or shorter to an exposure dose of, for example, 1 mJ/cm2 or more but 200 mJ/cm2 or less, preferably 10 mJ/cm2 or more but 100 mJ/cm2 or less, through the photomask, followed by heating of the resist film on a hot plate at, for example, 60° C. or higher but 150° C. or lower for 10 seconds or longer but five minutes or shorter, preferably at 80° C. or higher but 130° C. or lower for 30 seconds or longer but three minutes or shorter. Thus, the pattern of the photomask is transferred to the resist film.


The electromagnetic wave has a wavelength of preferably 100 to 600 nm, more preferably 300 to 500 nm. In particular, light containing i-line (365 nm), h-line (405 nm), or g-line (436 nm) is preferred. If necessary, light having a wavelength of 330 nm or shorter may be cut off.


The light source may be, for example, KrF excimer laser (wavelength: 248 nm), ArF excimer laser (wavelength: 193 nm), or F2 excimer laser (wavelength: 157 nm).


6-3. Development Step (c)

In the development step (c), either an exposed part or an unexposed part of the resist film is dissolved using a developing solution such as an aqueous solution of tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide (TMAH) at a concentration of, for example, 0.1% by mass or higher but 5% by mass or lower, preferably 2% by mass or higher but 3% by mass or lower, or an organic solvent, thereby forming a pattern. Thus, a patterned film is obtained on the substrate. Examples of the organic solvent include propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) and butyl acetate. In the development step, a substrate with a patterned film having a target pattern can be obtained by bringing the resist film into contact with the developing solution, for example, for 10 seconds or longer but three minutes or shorter, preferably 30 seconds or longer but two minutes or shorter, by a known method such as dipping, puddling, or spraying.

4. Lyophobicity of Each Polymer Film Before and After UV/Ozone Cleaning or Oxygen Plasma Cleaning and after Heating

A film was formed on a silicon wafer using each of the fluorine-containing copolymers 1 to 10 and comparative polymers 1 to 5. The contact angle with water, anisole, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA), or xylene was measured before and after UV/ozone cleaning or oxygen plasma cleaning and after heating. Water, anisole, PGMEA, and xylene are each usable as an ink solvent.


[Production of Silicon Wafer with Film]


Each of the fluorine-containing copolymers 1 to 6, 9, and 10 and comparative polymers 1 to 5 was dissolved in propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) to a concentration to provide a predetermined film thickness and applied onto a silicon wafer using a spin coater, thereby forming a coat. Then, the silicon wafer was heated on a hot plate at 230° ° C. for 60 minutes to obtain a silicon wafer with a film.


The fluorine-containing copolymers 7 and 8 contain many OH groups, and crosslinking of the OH groups leads to exhibition of lyophobicity. After preparation of the following coating liquid, the coating liquid was applied onto a silicon wafer using a spin coater to form a coat. Then, the silicon wafer was pre-baked on a hot plate at 100° ° C. for 150 seconds, and the entire surface of the film was subjected to exposure and heated at 230° C. for 60 minutes. The exposure device used was Mask Aligner MA 6 produced by SUSS MicroTec KK.


[Preparation of Coating Liquid Containing Fluorine-Containing Copolymer 7 or Fluorine-Containing Copolymer 8]


An amount of 1 g of the fluorine-containing copolymer 7 or the fluorine-containing copolymer 8, 0.2 g of 2,4,6-tris [bis(methoxymethyl)amino]-1,3,5-triazine as a crosslinking agent, and 0.01 g of a photoacid generator (2-[2-(4-methylphenyl sulfonyloxyimino)thiophen-3 (2H)-ylidene]-2-(2-methylphenyl) acetonitrile) were dissolved in 4 g of PGMEA, and the solution was stirred at room temperature for three hours, whereby a coating liquid containing the fluorine-containing copolymer 7 or the fluorine-containing copolymer 8 was prepared. The photoacid generator was decomposed by the exposure after formation of a coat to generate an acid, and crosslinking caused by the acid reduced the OH groups. Thus, lyophobicity was obtained.


[Cleaning Step and Heating Step]


The UV/ozone cleaning device used was PL17-110 produced by Sen Lights Co., Ltd. The oxygen plasma cleaning device used was Plasma dry cleaner PDC210 produced by Yamato Scientific Co., Ltd. Using such a device, each silicon wafer with a film was subjected to UV/ozone cleaning or oxygen plasma cleaning for 10 minutes. Then, the silicon wafer was heated at 200° ° C. for 60 seconds.


[Measurement of Contact Angle]


The contact angle of the film surface on the silicon wafer with water, anisole, PGMEA, or xylene was measured before and after UV/ozone cleaning or oxygen plasma cleaning and after the subsequent heating using a contact angle meter (DMs-601 produced by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd.).


[Measurement of Film Thickness]


The thickness of the film on the silicon wafer was measured using a contact-type film thickness meter before and after UV/ozone cleaning or oxygen plasma cleaning and after the subsequent heating.


[Measurement of Molecular Weight]


The film on the silicon wafer was dissolved in THE and the molecular weight was measured by GPC described above before and after UV/ozone cleaning or oxygen plasma cleaning and after the subsequent heating.


Table 2 shows the contact angle with water or anisole and the film thickness measured before and after UV/ozone cleaning and after the subsequent heating.

As shown in Table 8, in the case of the film containing any of the fluorine-containing copolymers 1 to 10 on the silicon wafer, the contact angles with PGMEA and xylene were decreased after oxygen plasma cleaning but recovered after heating to almost the same angles as those before oxygen plasma cleaning. In comparison, the contact angles in the case of any of the comparative polymers 1 to 5 were only slightly recovered by heating.


Table 9 shows the values of DP0 obtained by subtracting the contact angle with PGMEA before oxygen plasma cleaning from the contact angle with PGMEA after oxygen plasma cleaning, DP1 obtained by subtracting the contact angle with PGMEA after oxygen plasma cleaning from the contact angle with water after heating, DX0 obtained by subtracting the contact angle with xylene before oxygen plasma cleaning from the contact angle with xylene after oxygen plasma cleaning, and DX1 obtained by subtracting the contact angle with xylene after oxygen plasma cleaning from the contact angle with xylene after heating.

As shown in Table 10, the molecular weight measured by dissolving the film containing any of the fluorine-containing copolymers 1 to 10 on the silicon wafer in THE was not remarkably changed after UV/ozone cleaning or oxygen plasma cleaning, which shows that decomposition of the polymer was suppressed. In comparison, the molecular weight in the case of any of the comparative polymers 1 to 5 was confirmed to be remarkably reduced.


5. Evaluation as Resist

Resists 2, 3, 7, and 8 and a comparative resist 4 were prepared using the fluorine-containing copolymers 2, 3, 7, and 8 and the comparative polymer 4. The resist performances of these resists were evaluated and compared.


5-1. Preparation of Resist

[Resist 2]


To 1.6 g of the fluorine-containing copolymer 2 were added 20 g (solid content of 40% by mass) of BMR C-1000 (product name) that is a negative resist produced by Tokyo Ohka Kougyo Co., Ltd. and 0.2 g of TPA-100 (product name) that is an isocyanate-type crosslinking agent produced by Asahi Kasei Corporation. Thus, a resist 2 was prepared.


[Resist 3]


To 1.6 g of the fluorine-containing copolymer 3 were added 20 g (solid content of 40% by mass) of BMR C-1000 (product name) that is a negative resist produced by Tokyo Ohka Kougyo Co., Ltd., 0.2 g of 2,4,6-tris [bis(methoxymethyl)amino]-1,3,5-triazine as a crosslinking agent, and 0.01 g of a photoacid generator (2-[2-(4-methylphenyl sulfonyloxyimino)thiophen-3 (2H)-ylidene]-2-(2-methylphenyl) acetonitrile). Thus, a resist 3 was prepared.


[Resist 7 and 8]


An amount of 1 g of the fluorine-containing copolymer 7 or the fluorine-containing copolymer 8, 0.2 g of 2,4,6-tris [bis(methoxymethyl)amino]-1,3,5-triazine as a crosslinking agent, and 0.01 g of a photoacid generator (2-[2-(4-methylphenyl sulfonyloxyimino)thiophene-3 (2H)-ylidene]-2-(2-methylphenyl) acetonitrile) were dissolved in 4 g of PGMEA, and the solution was stirred at room temperature for three hours. Thus, a resist 7 containing the fluorine-containing copolymer 7 or a resist 8 containing the fluorine-containing copolymer 8 was prepared.


[Comparative Resist 4]


The positive photosensitive resin composition disclosed in Patent Literature 4 was prepared using the comparative polymer 4. Thus, a comparative resist 4 was obtained.


5-2. Formation of Resist Film

To a silicon wafer (4 inches in diameter) were sprayed super pure water and then acetone. After cleaning by spin coating, the silicon wafer was subjected to UV/ozone cleaning using the UV/ozone cleaning device described above for five minutes. Subsequently, the resists 2, 3, 7, and 8 and comparative resist 4 were each filtered through a 0.2-μm membrane filter, and applied onto the silicon wafer using a spinner at a rotation speed of 1,000 rpm, followed by drying by heating on a hot plate at 100° ° C. for 150 seconds. Thus, a resist film having a thickness of 2 μm was formed on the silicon wafer.


5-3. Evaluation of Solubility of Resist in Developing Solution and Resolution of Resist Pattern

Evaluation of the solubility of the resist in a developing solution and the resolution of the resist pattern and measurement of the contact angle were performed on each resist film on the silicon wafer. The methods for the measurement are described below.


The resist film formed on the silicon wafer was irradiated with i-line (wavelength of 365 nm) using the mask aligner described above through a mask (line and space of 5 μm). Thus, exposure was carried out. Then, the resist film was subjected to post-exposure bake at 120° C. for 60 seconds.


[Solubility in Developing Solution]


The silicon wafer with a resist film was immersed in an alkali developing solution or PGMEA at room temperature for 60 seconds before and after the exposure, and the solubility of the resist film in a developing solution or an organic solvent was evaluated. The alkali developing solution used was a 2.38% by mass aqueous solution of tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide (hereafter, also referred to as TMAH). The solubility of the resist film was evaluated by measuring the thickness of the resist film after immersion with an optical interference-type thickness meter. The case where the resist film was completely dissolved was evaluated as “Soluble” and the case where the resist film was not dissolved to remain was evaluated as “Insoluble”.


[Sensitivity]


The optimum exposure dose Eop (mj/cm2) upon formation of the pattern having the line and space mentioned above was obtained and determined as an index of the sensitivity.


[Resolution]


The resist pattern on the silicon wafer with a patterned film was examined under a microscope. The resist pattern with no line edge roughness observed was evaluated as “Excellent”, the resist pattern with slight line edge roughness observed was evaluated as “Good”, and the resist pattern with remarkable line edge roughness observed was evaluated as “Poor”.


Table 11 shows the evaluation results on the solubility of each resist in a developing solution, and the sensitivity and resolution of the resist pattern.

<Evaluation on Solubility in Developing Solution>


As shown in Table 11, in the case of the resists 2 and 3, an unexposed part was soluble and an exposed part was insoluble in an alkali solution and PGMEA. In the case of the resists 7 and 8, an unexposed part was soluble and an exposed part was insoluble in PGMEA. These resists are usable as negative resists. In the case of the comparative resist 4, an exposed part is soluble in an alkali solution. The comparative resist 4 is therefore usable as a positive resist.


<Sensitivity>


The resist 3 and the comparative resist 4 exhibited the similar sensitivity. In comparison with these resists, the resists 7 and 8 exhibited higher sensitivity.


<Resolution>


The resist patterns formed using the resists 2, 3, 7, and 8 and comparative resist 4 each had a line and space of 5 μm transferred from the mask at a high resolution. In particular, in the cases of the resists 7 and 8, no line edge roughness was observed, and the resolution of the resist pattern was evaluated as “Excellent”.


5-4. Evaluation on Lyophobicity Before and After UV/Ozone Cleaning and after Heating of Resist Pattern

Measurement of the contact angle with anisole was performed on each of the resist films on the silicon wafers prepared using the resists 2, 3, 7, and 8 and comparative resist 4 before and after UV/ozone cleaning and after the subsequent heating. The silicon wafer with a resist film was subjected to UV/ozone cleaning using the UV/ozone cleaning device described above for 10 minutes and then heated at 200° ° C. for 60 seconds. The contact angle meter used was produced by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd.

5-5. Evaluation on Lyophobicity Before and After Oxygen Plasma Cleaning and after Heating of Resist Pattern

Measurement of the contact angle with anisole was performed on each of the resist films on the silicon wafers prepared using the resists 2, 3, 7, and 8 and comparative resist 4 before and after oxygen plasma cleaning and after the subsequent heating. The silicon wafer with a resist film was subjected to oxygen plasma cleaning using the oxygen plasma cleaning device described above for 10 minutes and then heated at 200° ° C. for 60 seconds.
