The present application claims the priority of the Chinese Patent Application No. 201710743674.4 filed on Aug. 25, 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference as part of the disclosure of the present application.
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a photoresist composition, a manufacturing method of the photoresist composition, a manufacturing method of a metal pattern and a manufacturing method of an array substrate.
Photoresist refers to a corrosion-resistant film material which changes in solubility upon being illuminated by ultraviolet light, electron beam, particle beam, x-ray and so on. The photoresist is a key material for a lithography process. The photoresist can be classified as a positive photoresist and a negative photoresist according to its change in solubility before and after exposure. The solubility of the positive photoresist is increased after exposure, whereas the solubility of the negative photoresist is reduced after exposure.
The photolithography process is an indispensable process for manufacturing an array substrate, and a pattern with a desired shape can be obtained, and the photoresist is indispensable to implementation of the photolithography process. A main component of the photoresist is a photosensitive group-containing polymer. Under irradiation of ultraviolet light and the like, photosensitive groups of the irradiated photoresist undergo a chemical reaction, which results in difference in the solubility of the photosensitive portion and the light-shielding portion of the photoresist in a developer and thus forms a pattern with a desired shape after developing.

In order to clearly illustrate the technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the drawing of the embodiments will be briefly described. It is apparent that the described drawing is only related to some embodiments of the present disclosure and thus are not limitative of the present disclosure.
In order to make objects, technical details and advantages of embodiments of the present disclosure clear, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in a clearly and fully understandable way in connection with the related drawing. It is apparent that the described embodiments are just a part but not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the described embodiments herein, one of ordinary skill in the art can obtain, without any inventive work, other embodiment(s) which should be within the scope of the present disclosure.
Unless otherwise defined, all the technical and scientific terms used herein shall have the same meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs. The terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” “including,” etc., are intended to specify that the elements or the objects stated before these terms encompass the elements or the objects listed after these terms as well as equivalents thereof, but do not exclude other elements or objects.
A wet etching process is suitable for etching a metal thin film. At present, a gate electrode, a source electrode and a drain electrode of a thin film transistor array substrate are mainly made of Cu metal or Al metal, and the corresponding etching liquid is generally a hydrogen peroxide solution or another acidic etching solution. During etching, in addition to the concentration of hydrogen peroxide or other acidic component in the etching liquid, the concentration of metal ions in the etching liquid, for example, the concentration of Cu2+ or Al3+ generated during etching also affects the etching rate. Furthermore, a change frequency of the etching liquid depends on the concentration of metal ions in etching liquid. Therefore, considering the product quality and production cost, it is important to keep the concentration of the metal ions in the etching liquid within a reasonable and stable range.
In a photoresist composition provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the photoresist composition comprises a base material and an ion adsorbent, and the ion adsorbent is a chelating resin. The chelating resin in the photoresist composition has a selective adsorption effect on metal ions, such as at least one of Cu2+ and Al3+ generated during etching. In the wet etching process, during etching a metal film by using a photoresist pattern formed from the photoresist composition as a mask, the chelating resin in the photoresist pattern can adsorb metal ions generated during etching. As such, the concentration of the metal ions in the etching liquid maintains at a stable level to achieve a stable etching rate, and thus the etching stability and uniformity together with the quality of the product are improved. In addition, the service life of the etching liquid is prolonged and the production cost is reduced.
At least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photoresist composition, and the photoresist composition includes: a base material and an ion adsorbent, in which the ion adsorbent is a chelating resin.
The chelating resin is a polymer material having a cross-linking function, which can interact with a metal ion to form a multi-coordination complex. Not only can the chelating resin bond directly with the metal ion as a whole, but also some functional groups dissociated from the chelating resin can bond with the metal ion. A mechanism of adsorbing the metal ion by the chelating resin is that a coordination reaction occurs between functional atoms on the chelating resin and the metal ion to form a stable structure similar to a small molecular chelating. That is, the chelating resin takes a crosslinked polymer as its skeleton, and its atom containing a lone pair of electrons combines with vacant orbit of the metal ion to form a coordination bond, and thus the metal ion is adsorbed. In addition, the chelating resin can also capture the metal ion quickly, and it is also easy to release the captured metal ion in a specific environment. Therefore, compared with an ion exchange resin, the chelating resin has a stronger binding force and a higher selectivity with the metal ion.
For example, chelating resins that can adsorb metal ions are divided into two categories: natural chelating resins and synthetic chelating resins. The synthetic chelating resins can further be divided into two types according to the position of their functional groups: one is that the functional groups of the chelating resins are directly attached to the resin skeleton; and the other is that the functional groups are formed on a side chain and connected to the skeletons of the chelating resin by the side chain.
For example, functional groups of the chelating resins are mostly atoms with a lone pair of electrons, such as nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen and phosphorus. For example, the functional groups containing an oxygen atom include —OH (hydroxyl), —COOR (ester), —COOH (carboxyl), —O— (ether bond), —NO (nitroso) and —NO2 (nitro). The functional groups containing a nitrogen atom include —NH2 (primary amino), —NHR (secondary amino), —NR2 (tertiary amino), —CONH2 (amido), etc. The functional groups containing a sulfur atom include —SH (mercapto), —S— (thioether group), etc. The functional groups containing a phosphorus atom include an alkyl phosphino, a dialkyl phosphino, a trialkyl phosphine or an aryl phosphino.
For example, in the photoresist composition provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the chelating resin comprises any one or any combination of an acrylic chelating resin, a glycine-based chelating resin, a mercapto-based chelating resin, a polyacrylic mercapto-based chelating resin, an 8-hydroxyquinoline-based chelating resin, a polyvinyl pyridine chelating resin, a Schiff-base chelating resin.
For example, the groups —COOH, —SH, —NH2 and so on included in the chelating resin form a complex with the metal ion, thus the metal ion in the etching liquid is adsorbed to the main body of the chelating resin. For example, the metal ion includes at least one of Cu2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Al3+, Cr2+, Pb2+ and Mo3+.
For example, the chelating resin comprises any one or any combination of polyacrylic ethylenediimine diacetic acid chelating resin
poly (4-glycine-methylene styrene) chelating resin
poly (2-hydroxyl-3-mercaptopropyl acrylate) chelating resin
poly (6-vinyl-8-hydroxyquinoline) chelating resin
poly (2-carboxy-4-vinylpyridine) chelating resin
and poly 4-vinylpyridine chelating resin
For example, the steps of synthesizing the polyacrylic ethylenediimine diacetic acid chelating resin include:
For example, the steps of synthesizing polyacrylic ethylenediimine diacetic acid chelating resin include: reacting poly (methyl acrylate) (abbreviated as PMA) with ethylenediamine to form a polyacrylamide ethylamine resin (PMA-NH2), and then reacting the PMA-NH2 with chloroacetic acid under an alkaline condition to obtain polyacrylic ethylenediimine diacetic acid chelating resin having a semi-EDTA type.
For example, the steps of synthesizing poly (4-glycine-methylene styrene) chelating resin include:
For example, the steps of synthesizing poly (4-glycine-methylene styrene) chelating resin include: reacting polychloromethylstyrene with diethyl acetamidomalonate under a strong alkaline as a catalyst to form diethyl acetamidomalonate-substituted styrene polymer, and then forming the target product poly (4-glycine-methylene styrene) by refluxing the diethyl acetamidomalonate-substituted styrene polymer in hydrobromic acid for about 48 hours.
For example, the steps of synthesizing poly (2-hydroxyl-3-mercaptopropyl acrylate) chelating resin include:
For example, the steps of synthesizing poly (2-hydroxyl-3-mercaptopropyl acrylate) chelating resin include: swelling poly (epoxy propyl acrylate) resin in NaSH solution for about 12 hours, then heating to 85° C. and refluxing for 24 hours, and washing the product by deionized water after the reaction is completed.
For example, the structure of Schiff-base chelating resin has an atom containing a lone pair of electrons which is N or O, and generally, also has a phenolic hydroxyl.
For example, 8-hydroxyquinoline chelating resin has a good adsorption for divalent metal ions and trivalent metal ions, and it is easy to form a tetradentate chelate with a copper ion. The 8-hydroxyquinoline chelating resin is generally synthesized by a condensation reaction of a polyaldehyde containing a phenolic hydroxyl group and a polybasic primary amine, or by a condensation reaction of a polyaldehyde and a polybasic primary amine containing a phenolic hydroxyl group.
For example, the base material comprises a film-forming resin, a photosensitizer, and an organic solvent, and the photoresist composition is a positive photoresist composition or a negative photoresist composition.
For example, the substrate material further includes an additive. In an example, a mass percentage of the film-forming resin is about 5% to 30%; a mass percentage of the photosensitizer is about 2% to 5%; a mass percentage of the ion adsorbent is about 0.1% to 2%; a mass percentage of the organic solvent is about 62% to 93%; and a mass percentage of the additive is about 0.1% to 1%.
For example, the film-forming resin is a main material to afford the photoresist composition a film-forming property; the photosensitizer makes the photoresist composition sensitive to light, such as the ultraviolet light; the organic solvent is a carrier of the film-forming resin and the photosensitizer, and the organic solvent only needs to afford uniform dispersion of the film-forming resin and the photosensitizer therein.
For example, the organic solvent comprises any one or any combination of N-methyl pyrrolidone, glycol ether, ethylene glycol alkyl ether acetate, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, ethoxyethyl acetate, dimethoxy acetaldehyde, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate, propylene glycol methyl ether (PM) and ethylene glycol ethyl ether acetate.
For example, in a case that the photoresist composition is a positive photoresist composition, the film-forming resin comprises any one or any combination of a phenolic resin, a silicone resin, and a polyimide.
For example, the phenolic resin is manufactured by reacting a phenolic compound with an aldehyde compound or a ketone compound in the presence of an acidic catalyst.
For example, the photosensitizer is a diazonaphthoquinone-based photosensitizer.
For example, the diazonaphthoquinone-based photosensitizer is manufactured by reacting a diazonaphthoquinone sulfonyl halide compound with a phenolic compound in the presence of a weak alkaline.
For example, the diazonaphthoquinone-based photosensitizer includes: any one or two of 2,3,4-trihydroxybenzophenone naphthoquinone-1,2-diazido-5-sulfonate and 2,3,4,4′-tetrahydroxybenzophenone naphthoquinone-1,2-diazido-5-sulfonate.
For example, the film-forming resin described above has a polymer chain, and the photosensitizer also has a polymer chain. The photosensitizer and the film-forming resin have a similar structure, and their compatibility is good. As such, the distribution of the photosensitive groups is more uniform, thereby obtaining a better sensitivity and film-forming property.
For example, the solubility of the positive photoresist increases after exposure, and a portion of the positive photoresist exposed by ultraviolet light is removed.
For example, in a case that the photoresist composition is a negative photoresist composition, the film-forming resin is a copolymer of an organic ester monomer and an organic acid monomer.
For example, the organic ester monomer comprises any one or any combination of methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, propyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate and isoamyl acrylate; the organic acid monomer comprises any one or any combination of methacrylic acid, crotonic acid, cinnamic acid, isocinnamic acid, alpha-methyl cinnamic acid, methyl acrylate and methyl butenoate.
For example, in a case of the photoresist composition is a negative photoresist composition, the photosensitizer comprises any one or any combination of nitroaniline, anthraquinone, benzophenone and N-acetyl-4-nitro-1-naphthylamine.
For example, the solubility of the negative photoresist is reduced after exposure, and a portion of the negative photoresist exposed by the ultraviolet light is retained.
For example, the negative photoresist composition may further comprise a polymerizable monomer, and the polymerizable monomer comprises any one or any combination of dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate, dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate, polyurethane acrylate and ethoxylated pentaerythritol tetraacrylate.
For example, the polymerizable monomer undergoes a polymerization to form a polymer after being irradiated.
For example, the function of the polymerizable monomer is to reduce the solubility of the irradiated portion of the photoresist composition by a photoinduced radical polymerization to form a cross-linked polymer network.
For example, the negative photoresist composition may further comprise a polymerization inhibitor, and the polymerization inhibitor comprises any one or any combination of hydroquinone, 2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenol, p-tert-butyl catechol and 2,5-di-tert-butyl hydroquinone.
For example, the function of the polymerization inhibitor is to prevent an unsaturated bond in the photoresist composition from being polymerized without exposure to light, and thus the stability of the photoresist composition is improved.
For example, in the positive photoresist composition or the negative photoresist composition provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the additive may comprise at least one of a leveling agent, an antifoaming agent, and a stabilizer.
For example, the leveling agent includes an acrylic compound, a silicone compound, a fluorocarbon compound, etc.
For example, the function of the leveling agent is to adjust the viscosity and fluidity of the photoresist system and increase the uniformity of the film formed.
For example, the antifoaming agent can reduce a surface tension of the photoresist composition, inhibit formation of a foam or eliminate the existing foam. The commonly used antifoaming agent includes emulsified silicone oil, higher alcohol fatty acid ester complex, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene pentaerythritol ether, polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene alcohol ether, polyoxypropylene glycerol ether and polyoxypropylene polyoxyethylene glycerol ether and polydimethyl silicone, etc.
For example, the stabilizer is at least one of isoamyl alcohol, n-hexanol, glycerol, and n-hexane.
For example, the stabilizer can ensure a chemical stability of the photoresist composition, which may slow down reactions, maintain a chemical balance, reduce a surface tension of the photoresist composition, and prevent light, thermal decomposition or oxidative decomposition.
For example, in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the photoresist composition comprises: the film-forming resin having a mass percentage of about 5% to 30%; the sensitizer having a mass percentage of about 2% to 5%, the ion adsorbent having a mass percentage of about 0.1% to 2%, the organic solvent having a mass percentage of about 62% to 93%, and the additive having a mass percentage of about 0.1% to 1%.
It should be noted that, the above additive can be the leveling agent, the antifoaming agent and/or the stabilizer in the positive photoresist composition; or the above additive can be the polymerizable monomer, the polymerization inhibitor, the leveling agent, the antifoaming agent and/or the stabilizer in the negative photoresist composition.

The solubility of the positive photoresist is increased after exposure, whereas the solubility of the negative photoresist is reduced after exposure. That is, a photoresist which is dissolved after being irradiated is the positive photoresist, and a photoresist retained after being irradiated is the negative photoresist. During forming a photoresist pattern, a mask is used to shield the light to form the photoresist pattern with a desired shape.

As such, the etching stability, the etching uniformity, and the quality of the product are improved. In addition, the service life of the etching liquid is prolonged and the production cost is reduced.
It should be noted that, the ion adsorbent in the photoresist pattern can also adsorb metal ions contained in the etching liquid before the etching process.
At least one embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a manufacturing method of an array substrate, and the manufacturing method includes any one of the manufacturing methods of the metal pattern described above. Its specific implementation principle can refer to the related descriptions mentioned above, and details are not described herein again.
For example, the formed metal pattern may comprise at least one of a gate electrode, a first source/drain electrode, and a second source/drain electrode.
