  • Publication number: 20040144753
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a photoresist composition for an MMN (multi-micro nozzle) head coater, more particularly to a photoresist composition comprising a novolak resin with a molecular weight ranging from 2000 to 12,000, a diazide photoactive compound, an organic solvent, and a Si-based surfactant for use in liquid crystal display circuits.

  • Patent number: 6686120
    Abstract: Disclosed is a photoresist composition including a thermal acid generator and a method of forming a pattern using the same. The photoresist composition includes about 100 parts by weight of an alkali-soluble acryl copolymer, about 5-100 parts by weight of 1,2-quinonediazide compound, about 2-35 parts by weight of nitrogen-containing cross-linking agent and about 0.1-10 parts by weight of a thermal acid generator which produces an acid by heat. The photoresist composition is coated on a substrate and dried to form a photoresist layer. The photoresist layer is exposed by using a mask having a predetermined shape. Thus obtained exposed photoresist layer is developed by using an aqueous alkaline solution to form a photoresist pattern. Thus obtained photoresist pattern is heated to be cured without generating thermal reflow.

  • Publication number: 20030165770
    Abstract: Disclosed is a photoresist composition having a good sensitivity and residual layer characteristic and a method of forming a pattern using the same. The photoresist composition includes 5-30% by weight of a polymer resin, 2-10% by weight of a photosensitive compound, 0.1-10% by weight of a sensitivity enhancing agent, 0.1-10% by weight of a sensitivity restraining agent and 60-90% by weight of an organic solvent. A photoresist layer is formed by coating the photoresist composition on a substrate and then drying the coated photoresist composition. Then, thus obtained photoresist layer is exposed by using a mask having a predetermined pattern. Then, a photoresist pattern is formed by developing thus exposed photoresist layer. The photoresist pattern exhibits a uniform layer thickness and critical dimension.
