Description

  The present invention relates to a chemically amplified positive photoresist composition for thick film and a method for producing a thick film resist pattern. More specifically, the present invention relates to circuit board manufacture, CSP (chip size package) to be mounted on the circuit board, micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) element, small machine (MEMO machine) incorporating the MEMS element, and high-density mounting. Manufacturing of thick-film chemically amplified positive photoresist composition and thick-film resist pattern suitable for forming connection terminals such as bumps and metal posts, wiring patterns, etc. in the manufacture of electronic parts such as through electrodes It is about the method.

  Photofabrication, which is currently the mainstream of precision microfabrication technology, is the application of a photosensitive resin composition to the surface of a workpiece to form a coating film, which is then patterned using photolithography technology. A general term for technologies for manufacturing various precision parts such as semiconductor packages by performing chemical forming, electrolytic etching, and / or electroforming mainly composed of electroplating as a mask.

  In recent years, with the downsizing of electronic equipment, high-density packaging technology for semiconductor packages has progressed. Based on multi-pin thin film packaging of packages, miniaturization of package size, flip-chip two-dimensional packaging technology, and three-dimensional packaging technology. The packaging density is improved. In such a high-density mounting technique, as connection terminals, for example, protruding electrodes (mounting terminals) such as bumps protruding on the package, or metal posts that connect the rewirings extending from the peripheral terminals on the wafer and the mounting terminals. Are arranged with high accuracy on the substrate.

  There is a thick film photoresist as a material used for the above photofabrication. The thick film photoresist forms a thick film photoresist layer, and is used, for example, for forming bumps and metal posts by a plating process. For bumps and metal posts, for example, a thick photoresist layer with a film thickness of about 20 μm is formed on a support, exposed through a predetermined mask pattern, developed, and a portion where bumps and metal posts are formed is selective. The resist pattern removed (peeled) is formed, and a conductor such as copper is embedded in the removed portion (non-resist portion) by plating, and then the resist pattern around the resist pattern is removed. .

  As a thick film photoresist, a positive photosensitive resin composition having a quinonediazide group-containing compound used for forming a pump or wiring is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

On the other hand, a chemically amplified photoresist containing an acid generator is known as a photosensitive resin composition having higher sensitivity than a conventional positive photosensitive resin composition having a quinonediazide group-containing compound. The feature of chemically amplified photoresist is that acid is generated from the acid generator by radiation irradiation (exposure), and the diffusion of the acid is promoted by the heat treatment after the exposure, and the acid catalyst for the base resin in the resin composition. It is to cause a reaction and change its alkali solubility. A chemically amplified photoresist composition for plating has been disclosed as a positive type in which an alkali-insoluble one is chemically soluble among chemically amplified photoresists (see, for example, Patent Documents 2 and 3).

  By the way, the thick photoresist layer may be formed on a support having a portion formed of copper on the upper surface, for example, a copper substrate. However, if a thick photoresist layer is formed on the copper substrate, the influence of copper is present. Therefore, there is a problem that a good resist pattern cannot be obtained.

  Therefore, recently, it has been proposed to interpose an inorganic layer between a support and a thick photoresist layer made of a chemically amplified positive photoresist composition (see Patent Document 4). By interposing the inorganic layer in this manner, the support and the thick photoresist layer are not in direct contact with each other, so that a good resist pattern can be obtained.

  However, since the manufacturing process is complicated to interpose the inorganic layer between the support and the thick photoresist layer in this way, the support having a portion formed of copper on the upper surface without interposing any further layers. There has been a demand for a chemically amplified positive photoresist composition for thick film capable of obtaining a good resist pattern on the body.

  On the other hand, the chemical amplification type positive photoresist composition for thick film has higher sensitivity than a chemical amplification type positive photoresist composition for forming a normal photoresist layer having a film thickness of 1 μm or less, for example. Was demanded.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and is a chemically amplified positive electrode for thick film capable of obtaining a good resist pattern with high sensitivity even on a support having a portion formed of copper on the upper surface. It is an object of the present invention to provide a type photoresist composition and a method for producing a thick film resist pattern.

  As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the present inventors have found that the above-mentioned problems can be solved by an onium salt photoacid generator having a specific structure, thereby completing the present invention. It came to. Specifically, the present invention provides the following.
