  • Patent number: 11573490
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a positive-type photosensitive resin composition and a cured film prepared therefrom. The positive-type photosensitive resin composition comprises a nonpolar organic solvent, thereby suppressing the reactivity of the epoxy group in the composition to reduce the production of diol compounds. When a cured film is prepared from the composition, an appropriate level of developability can be maintained to further enhance the pattern adhesiveness, resolution, and sensitivity. Further, since the composition of the present invention has a small difference in the film retention rates at room temperature and low temperatures, the composition may have stable stability over time.

  • Patent number: 11226558
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a positive-type photosensitive resin composition and a cured film prepared therefrom. The composition comprises a photopolymerizable compound containing a double bond and a specific photopolymerization initiator, wherein the photopolymerizable compound containing a double bond suppresses the photopolymerization reaction upon exposure to light but causes the photopolymerization reaction at the time of photobleaching after development, thereby controlling the flowability of the composition during thermal curing. Thus, a pattern is readily formed, which makes it possible to maintain excellent sensitivity upon the development and even upon the hard-bake process after the development, and it is possible to provide a cured film that is excellent in film strength and film retention rate.

  • Patent number: 10890846
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a photosensitive resin composition and a cured film prepared therefrom. The photosensitive resin composition introduces a siloxane polymer containing a fluorine atom which has strong water-repellency into a composition including a common siloxane polymer and an epoxy compound, and fluorine groups may be present in the whole region of the cured film so that the water-repellency due to a fluorine component may be maintained even after removing the surface of the cured film is removed via a dry etching process. As a result, the resistance (chemical resistance) to chemicals used in a post-processing can be maximizes to provide a cured film having excellent stability.

  • Publication number: 20200407510
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a positive-type photosensitive resin composition and a cured film prepared therefrom. The positive-type photosensitive resin composition introduces a multifunctional monomer into a positive-type photosensitive resin composition comprising a mixed binder in which a siloxane copolymer is added to an acrylic copolymer, whereby the penetration of a developer into the binder can be facilitated at the time of development of a pre-baked film to increase the solubility in the developer, thereby further enhancing the pattern developability and sensitivity. Further, a cured film prepared from the composition has excellent appearance characteristics without a rough surface of the film and a scum or the like at the bottom of the film during development.

  • Publication number: 20200209750
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a positive-type photosensitive resin composition and a cured film prepared therefrom. The composition comprises a photoactive compound of a polymer, and/or a photoactive compound of a monomer, containing a repeat unit having a specific structure. Thus, the exposed portion (i.e., the portion exposed to light) is increased by the interaction between the binder resin (i.e., siloxane copolymer) and the photoactive compound, which increases the solubility in a developer, whereby the sensitivity can be enhanced. In addition, it is possible to form a cured film capable of achieving a high edge angle of a pattern by way of employing the photoactive compound in a proper amount.

  • Publication number: 20200209746
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a positive-type photosensitive resin composition and a cured film prepared therefrom. In the composition, the developability (i.e., development rate) is appropriately adjusted by the interaction between the photoactive compound of a polymer, and/or the photoactive compound of a monomer, containing a repeat unit having a specific structure and the two kinds of a binder resin (i.e., a siloxane copolymer and an acrylic copolymer). Thus, it is possible to reduce the rate of loss in the thickness of a cured film during the development step. In addition, the use of the composition allows an increase in the exposed portion (i.e., the portion exposed to light) by the interaction between the two kinds of a binder resin and the photoactive compound, which increases the solubility in a developer, whereby the sensitivity can be enhanced. Further, the composition is capable of forming a cured film that is excellent in film retention rate and has a smooth surface even upon the post-bake.
