Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、高感度かつ高解像度の特性を有するポジ型感光性樹脂組成物及びそれを用いた半導体装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、半導体素子の表面保護膜、層間絶縁膜には、耐熱性に優れ又卓越した電気特性、機械特性等を有するポリイミド樹脂が用いられているが、近年半導体素子の高集積化、大型化、半導体装置の薄型化、小型化、半田リフローによる表面実装への移行等により耐熱サイクル性、耐熱ショック性等の著しい向上の要求があり、更に高性能の樹脂が必要とされるようになってきた。
【0003】
一方、ポリイミド樹脂自身に感光性を付与する技術が注目を集めてきており、例えば下記式(10)に示されるネガ型感光性ポリイミド樹脂が挙げられる。
【化8】

Figure 2004151605
【0004】
これを用いるとパターン作成工程の一部が簡略化でき、工程短縮及び歩留まり向上の効果はあるが、現像の際にN−メチル−2−ピロリドン等の溶剤が必要となるため、安全性、取扱い性に問題がある。そこで、アルカリ水溶液で現像ができるポジ型感光性樹脂組成物が開発されている(例えば、特許文献1、特許文献2、特許文献3、特許文献4、特許文献5参照。)。これらには、ポリイミド樹脂の前駆体であるポリアミド酸と感光材であるジアゾキノン化合物より構成されるポジ型感光性樹脂組成物が開示されている。これらの感光材として用いられているジアゾキノン化合物は露光することにより化学変化を起こし、アルカリ水溶液に可溶となる。しかしその変化率は40%程度であるだけでなく、それ自身の光に対する吸収が大きいために、厚膜に塗布した場合、膜の底面にまで十分な光が届かない。そのため露光部を開口させるために多くの露光量を必要とし、感度が低くなるという問題があった。
【0005】
更に、g線、i線等の紫外線を光源として用いる半導体用レジストに代表されるポジ型感光性樹脂組成物は、ベース樹脂としてフェノールノボラック樹脂が用いられているが、これらに比べ、上述のポリアミド樹脂は単位分子量当たりの水酸基濃度が小さいために、ジアゾキノン化合物と相互作用することで発揮されるアルカリ水溶液に対する溶解阻止能が弱く、現像後における未露光部の膜減り量が大きい。従って露光部が現像液で十分に溶解除去される前に、未露光部が目的とする膜厚以下になるために、結果として感度が低下するだけでなく、パターンの壁面が削られることにより、開口部の寸法安定性が低下する。又カルボキシル基の場合には、ジアゾキノン化合物と相互作用することがなく、更にフェノール性水酸基よりもアルカリ水溶液に対する溶解性が非常に高いという理由により、未露光部の溶解阻止能が発揮されず、目的とする膜厚が得られないばかりかパターンの形成自体が困難になる問題がある。又適当な保護基でブロックされたカルボキシル基の場合、未露光部のアルカリ水溶液に対する耐性は十分あるが、露光部の溶解性が劣るために感度の低下、現像後に樹脂の残り(スカム)が見られるという問題がある。
【0006】
そこで、光化学反応による触媒作用を取り入れた化学増幅型のポジ型感光性樹脂組成物が開発されている。この化学増幅型のポジ型感光性樹脂組成物は、一般的に水酸基又はカルボキシル基を適当な酸不安定基で保護されたベース樹脂と光の照射により酸を発生する光酸発生材から構成されている。この化学増幅型のポジ型感光性樹脂組成物の現像メカニズムは、以下のようになっている。未露光部において酸不安定基で保護されたベース樹脂は現像液であるアルカリ水溶液に耐性がある。一方露光部は、光酸発生材から発生した酸が露光後の熱処理により拡散して触媒として働き、ベース樹脂中の保護基を脱離し、水酸基又はカルボキシル基を再生させてアルカリ水溶液に可溶となる。この露光部と未露光部との溶解性の差を利用し、露光部を溶解除去することにより未露光部のみの塗膜パターンの形成が可能となるものである。更に、この触媒酸は脱離反応後も存在し、多くの反応を引き起こすため見かけの量子収率が高く、高感度化が容易となるだけでなく高い溶解コントラストが得られるために高解像度化も期待できる。半導体用レジストとしては、例えば第2847414号公報、第2848611号公報、特開平3−249654号公報、特開平9−230588号公報等が挙げられるが、これらに使用されているベース樹脂は主にポリヒドロキシスチレンであり、高い解像度は得られるが耐熱性に乏しく、半導体素子の表面保護膜、層間絶縁膜用途には適さない。
【0007】
半導体素子の表面保護膜、層間絶縁膜用途として、ベース樹脂にポリイミド樹脂又はポリアミド樹脂を用いた化学増幅型感光性樹脂組成物が開示されている(例えば、特許文献6、特許文献7、特許文献8、特許文献9参照。)。しかし開示されているベース樹脂は、熱で硬化させた後も水酸基が残ってしまうために耐湿信頼性が低下したり、十分な溶解コントラストが得られないために解像度の低下や、結果的に高感度でも未露光部の膜減り量の増加によって目的とする膜厚が得られなかったり、サイドエッチが大きくプロファイル性が悪い等の問題があった。

である。
【0022】
一般式(1)のポリアミド樹脂は、Xの構造を有するビス(アミノフェノール)、必要により配合されるZの構造を有するシリコーンジアミンとYの構造を有するジカルボン酸或いはジカルボン酸ジクロリド、ジカルボン酸誘導体とを反応した後、酸不安定基となる保護基をポリアミド樹脂中のフェノール性水酸基に置換させて得られるものである。なお、ジカルボン酸の場合には反応収率等を高めるため、1−ヒドロキシ−1,2,3−ベンゾトリアゾール等を予め反応させた活性エステル型のジカルボン酸誘導体を用いてもよい。酸不安定基となる保護基は、炭素数2〜20のアルコキシカルボニル基、炭素数2〜20のアルコキシアルキル基、炭素数1〜10のアルキル置換シリル基、テトラヒドロピラニル基、テトラヒドロフラニル基が挙げられる。又現像後の未露光部の膜減り量が少なく、露光部と未露光部の溶解コントラストが大きい樹脂を得るために、ポリアミド樹脂中の全水酸基の5〜80%を酸不安定基となる保護基で置換されていることが必要である。5%未満のときは、未露光部が十分な溶解阻止能を発揮できないので膜減り量が大きくなり、80%を越えると露光部の溶解性も極端に遅くなり感度が低下するだけでなく、現像後に樹脂の残り(スカム)が発生しやすくなる。現像後、このポリアミド樹脂を約300〜400℃で加熱すると脱水閉環し、ポリベンゾオキサゾールという形で耐熱性樹脂が得られる。
【0023】
本発明の一般式(1)のポリアミド樹脂のXは、例えば、
【化16】
Figure 2004151605
等であるが、これらに限定されるものではない。これら中で特に好ましいものとしては、式(3)で示される群より選ばれるものであり、又2種以上用いても良い。
【0024】
又一般式(1)のポリアミド樹脂のYは、例えば、
【化17】
Figure 2004151605
等であるが、これらに限定されるものではない。これらの中で特に好ましいものとしては、式(4)で示される群より選ばれるものであり、又2種以上用いても良い。
【0025】
又本発明のポジ型感光性樹脂組成物は、保存性という観点から、Xの構造を有するビス(アミノフェノール)とYの構造を有するジカルボン酸或いはジカルボン酸ジクロリド又はジカルボン酸誘導体とを反応させてポリアミド樹脂を合成した後、アルケニル基又はアルキニル基を少なくとも1個有する脂肪族基又は環式化合物基を含む酸無水物を用いて末端のアミノ基をキャップすることが重要である。アルケニル基又はアルキニル基を少なくとも1個有する脂肪族基又は環式化合物基を含む酸無水物に起因する基として、例えば、
【0026】
【化18】
Figure 2004151605
等が挙げられるが、これらに限定されるものではない。
【0027】
これらの中で特に好ましいものとしては、
【化19】
Figure 2004151605
より選ばれるものであり、又2種以上用いても良い。
【0028】
更に、必要によって用いる一般式(1)のポリアミド樹脂のZは、例えば
【化20】
Figure 2004151605
【0029】
等であるがこれらに限定されるものではなく、又2種以上用いても良い。
一般式(1)のZは、例えば、シリコンウェハーのような基板に対して、特に優れた密着性が必要な場合に用いるが、その使用割合bは最大40モル%までである。40モル%を越えると現像液に対する樹脂の溶解性が極めて低下し、現像残り(スカム)が発生し、パターン加工ができなくなる。なお、これらX、Y、Zの使用にあたっては、それぞれ1種類であっても2種類以上の混合物であっても構わない。一般式(1)のnは、2〜300であるが、300を越えると現像後にスカムが発生する恐れがあるので好ましくない。

【0031】
本発明のポジ型感光性樹脂組成物は、更に露光部と未露光部の溶解コントラストを向上させるために、一般式(2)で示されるフェノール化合物の水酸基を、酸の存在下で分解する酸不安定基で保護された化合物(C)を配合することが重要である。これにより、未露光部においてはアルカリ水溶液に対する耐性が向上し、露光部では光酸発生材から発生した触媒酸の作用により酸不安定基が脱離することによって水酸基が再生し、溶解促進作用を促す。
【0032】
酸の存在下で分解する酸不安定基としては、炭素数2〜20のアルコキシカルボニル基、炭素数2〜20のアルコキシカルボニルメチル基、炭素数2〜20のアルコキシアルキル基、炭素数1〜10のアルキル置換シリル基、テトラヒドロピラニル基、テトラヒドロフラニル基等が挙げられるが、特に好ましいものは、テトラヒドロピラニル基、テトラヒドロフラニル基である。具体的には下記のものを挙げることができるが、これらに限定されない。又これらは単独でも2種以上用いても良い。

【0035】
本発明のポジ型感光性樹脂組成物は、これらの成分を溶剤(D)に溶解し、ワニス状にして使用する。溶剤(D)としては、光酸発生材から発生した触媒酸が失活するのを防ぐために窒素原子を含有していない溶媒を選択することが重要である。具体的な例としては、炭素数3〜10の環状ケトン、炭素数3〜10の環状ラクトン、ジメチルスルホキシド、ジエチレングリコールジアルキルエーテル、プロピレングリコールモノアルキルエーテル、ジプロピレングリコールモノアルキルエーテル、プロピレングリコールモノアルキルエーテルアセテート、3−メチル−3−メトキシブタノール、乳酸メチル、乳酸エチル、乳酸ブチル、メチル−1,3−ブチレングリコールアセテート、1,3−ブチレングリコール−3−モノアルキルエーテル、トリアルキルベンゼン、ピルビン酸メチル、ピルビン酸エチル、メチル−3−メトキシプロピオネート等が挙げられ、特に好ましいものとしては、γ−ブチロラクトン、シクロペンタノン、ジメチルスルホキシド、プロピレングリコールモノメチルエーテル、プロピレングリコールモノメチルエーテルアセテート、ジプロピレングリコールモノメチルエーテル、乳酸メチル、乳酸エチル、乳酸ブチルが挙げられ、これらは単独でも混合して用いてもよい。
【0036】
又本発明のポジ型感光性樹脂組成物には、露光部と未露光部の溶解コントラストを高めるという目的で、光酸発生材から発生した触媒酸の拡散を促進するために、更にフェノール化合物(E)を配合することが好ましい。触媒酸の拡散は系中の親水性水酸基を経由する(Jpn.J.Appl.Phys.,vol.35,Pt.1,No.12B,p6501(1996))挙動を示すことに基づくもので、適当なフェノール化合物(E)を配合することにより、保護基の脱離反応を促進させるものである。又これらのフェノール化合物(E)はアルカリ水溶液に可溶なため、露光部の溶解性が増加し、感度を高める働きもある。フェノール化合物(E)の配合量は、一般式(1)で示されるポリアミド樹脂(A)100重量部に対して1〜30重量部が好ましい。1重量部未満だと触媒酸の拡散効果が認められなくなり、30重量部を越えると現像時に著しい残膜率の低下が生じたり、冷凍保存中において析出が起こり実用性に欠けるおそれがあるので好ましくない。
【0037】
フェノール化合物(E)としては下記のものを挙げることができるがこれらに限定されない。又これらは単独でも2種以上用いても良い。

本発明におけるポジ型感光性樹脂組成物には、必要によりレベリング剤、シランカップリング剤等の添加剤を配合することができる。
【0041】
本発明のポジ型感光性樹脂組成物は、まず該樹脂組成物を適当な支持体、例えばシリコンウェハー、セラミック基板、アルミ基板等に塗布する。塗布量は、半導体装置の場合、硬化後の最終膜厚が0.1〜30μmになるように塗布する。膜厚が0.1μm未満だと半導体素子の保護表面膜としての機能を十分に発揮することが困難となり、30μmを越えると、微細な加工パターンを得ることが困難となる。塗布方法としては、スピンナーを用いた回転塗布、スプレーコーターを用いた噴霧塗布、浸漬、印刷、ロールコーティング等がある。次に、60〜130℃でプリベークして塗膜を乾燥後、所望のパターン形状に化学線を照射する。化学線としては、X線、電子線、紫外線、可視光線等が使用できるが、200〜500nmの波長のものが好ましい。露光後、オーブンやホットプレートを用い、60〜150℃で熱処理を行う。露光後ベークによって光酸発生材から発生した酸が拡散し、触媒反応により保護基を脱離する。
【0042】
次に照射部を現像液で溶解除去することによりレリーフパターンを得る。現像液としては、水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カリウム、炭酸ナトリウム、ケイ酸ナトリウム、メタケイ酸ナトリウム、アンモニア水等の無機アルカリ類、エチルアミン、n−プロピルアミン等の第1アミン類、ジエチルアミン、ジ−n−プロピルアミン等の第2アミン類、トリエチルアミン、メチルジエチルアミン等の第3アミン類、ジメチルエタノールアミン、トリエタノールアミン等のアルコールアミン類、テトラメチルアンモニウムヒドロキシド、テトラエチルアンモニウムヒドロキシド等の第4級アンモニウム塩等のアルカリ類の水溶液及びこれにメタノール、エタノールのごときアルコール類等の水溶性有機溶媒や界面活性剤を適当量添加した水溶液を好適に使用することができる。現像方法としては、スプレー、パドル、浸漬、超音波等の方式が可能である。
【0043】
次に、現像によって形成したレリーフパターンをリンスする。リンス液としては、蒸留水を使用する。次に加熱処理を行い、オキサゾール環を形成して耐熱性に富む最終パターンを得る。
本発明によるポジ型感光性樹脂組成物は、半導体用途のみならず、多層回路の層間絶縁やフレキシブル銅張板のカバーコート、ソルダーレジスト膜や液晶配向膜等としても有用である。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a positive photosensitive resin composition having high sensitivity and high resolution characteristics, and a semiconductor device using the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a polyimide resin having excellent heat resistance and excellent electrical properties and mechanical properties has been used for a surface protection film and an interlayer insulating film of a semiconductor element. There is a demand for remarkable improvements in heat cycle resistance and heat shock resistance due to the shift to surface mounting due to the thinning and miniaturization of semiconductor devices and solder reflow, and further high-performance resins are required. .
[0003]
On the other hand, a technique of imparting photosensitivity to the polyimide resin itself has attracted attention, and examples thereof include a negative photosensitive polyimide resin represented by the following formula (10).
Embedded image
Figure 2004151605
[0004]
When this is used, a part of the pattern forming process can be simplified, and there is an effect of shortening the process and improving the yield. However, since a solvent such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is required for development, safety and handling are improved. There is a problem with sex. Therefore, a positive photosensitive resin composition that can be developed with an aqueous alkali solution has been developed (for example, see Patent Literature 1, Patent Literature 2, Patent Literature 3, Patent Literature 4, and Patent Literature 5). These disclose a positive photosensitive resin composition comprising a polyamic acid as a precursor of a polyimide resin and a diazoquinone compound as a photosensitive material. The diazoquinone compound used as such a photosensitive material undergoes a chemical change upon exposure to light and becomes soluble in an aqueous alkaline solution. However, the rate of change is not only about 40%, but also because of its large light absorption, when applied to a thick film, sufficient light does not reach the bottom of the film. Therefore, there is a problem that a large amount of exposure is required to open the exposed portion, and the sensitivity is lowered.
[0005]
Further, a positive-type photosensitive resin composition represented by a resist for semiconductors using ultraviolet rays such as g-rays and i-rays as a light source uses a phenol novolak resin as a base resin. Since the resin has a low hydroxyl group concentration per unit molecular weight, the resin has a weak dissolution inhibiting ability with respect to an aqueous alkaline solution exhibited by interacting with a diazoquinone compound, and has a large film loss amount in an unexposed portion after development. Therefore, before the exposed portion is sufficiently dissolved and removed with the developing solution, the unexposed portion has a thickness equal to or less than the target film thickness, so that not only the sensitivity is reduced as a result, but also the wall surface of the pattern is scraped, The dimensional stability of the opening decreases. In the case of a carboxyl group, it does not interact with the diazoquinone compound, and furthermore, the solubility in an aqueous alkali solution is much higher than that of a phenolic hydroxyl group. In addition, there is a problem that not only is it impossible to obtain a desired film thickness, but also it becomes difficult to form the pattern itself. In the case of a carboxyl group blocked with an appropriate protecting group, the unexposed portion has a sufficient resistance to an aqueous alkali solution, but the solubility of the exposed portion is poor, so that the sensitivity is lowered and the resin residue (scum) is observed after development. Problem.
[0006]
Therefore, a chemically amplified positive photosensitive resin composition incorporating a catalytic action by a photochemical reaction has been developed. This chemically amplified positive photosensitive resin composition is generally composed of a base resin in which a hydroxyl group or a carboxyl group is protected by a suitable acid labile group, and a photoacid generator which generates an acid upon irradiation with light. ing. The development mechanism of the chemically amplified positive photosensitive resin composition is as follows. The base resin protected by an acid labile group in the unexposed area is resistant to an aqueous alkali solution as a developing solution. On the other hand, in the exposed area, the acid generated from the photoacid generator is diffused by the heat treatment after exposure and acts as a catalyst, and removes the protective group in the base resin, regenerates the hydroxyl group or carboxyl group, and becomes soluble in the aqueous alkali solution. Become. By utilizing the difference in solubility between the exposed part and the unexposed part and dissolving and removing the exposed part, it is possible to form a coating pattern only on the unexposed part. Furthermore, this catalytic acid exists even after the elimination reaction, and causes many reactions, resulting in a high apparent quantum yield. Can be expected. Examples of the resist for semiconductor include, for example, Japanese Patent Nos. 2847414, 2848611, JP-A-3-249654, and JP-A-9-230588. The base resin used for these is mainly Hydroxystyrene, which can provide high resolution but has poor heat resistance, and is not suitable for use as a surface protective film or an interlayer insulating film of a semiconductor device.
[0007]
A chemically amplified photosensitive resin composition using a polyimide resin or a polyamide resin as a base resin has been disclosed as a surface protective film for semiconductor devices and an interlayer insulating film (for example, Patent Document 6, Patent Document 7, Patent Document 7). 8, see Patent Document 9.). However, in the disclosed base resin, the hydroxyl group remains even after being cured by heat, so that the moisture resistance reliability is lowered, or the resolution is lowered because a sufficient dissolution contrast is not obtained. Even with sensitivity, there were problems such as that a desired film thickness could not be obtained due to an increase in the amount of film reduction in an unexposed portion, and that side etching was large and profile properties were poor.

[0022]
The polyamide resin represented by the general formula (1) includes bis (aminophenol) having the structure of X, silicone diamine having the structure of Z optionally blended, dicarboxylic acid or dicarboxylic acid dichloride having the structure of Y, and a dicarboxylic acid derivative. After the reaction, the protecting group which becomes an acid labile group is replaced with a phenolic hydroxyl group in the polyamide resin. In the case of dicarboxylic acid, an active ester-type dicarboxylic acid derivative obtained by previously reacting 1-hydroxy-1,2,3-benzotriazole or the like may be used in order to increase the reaction yield and the like. The protecting group to be an acid labile group includes an alkoxycarbonyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkoxyalkyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkyl-substituted silyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, a tetrahydropyranyl group, and a tetrahydrofuranyl group. No. Also, in order to obtain a resin having a small amount of film loss in the unexposed area after development and a large dissolution contrast between the exposed area and the unexposed area, protection of 5-80% of all hydroxyl groups in the polyamide resin to an acid labile group. It must be substituted with a group. When it is less than 5%, the unexposed part cannot exert sufficient dissolution inhibiting ability, so that the amount of film loss increases. When it exceeds 80%, not only the solubility of the exposed part becomes extremely slow, but also the sensitivity decreases, Residual resin (scum) is likely to be generated after development. After the development, when the polyamide resin is heated at about 300 to 400 ° C., the ring is dehydrated and closed to form a heat-resistant resin in the form of polybenzoxazole.
[0023]
X of the polyamide resin of the general formula (1) of the present invention is, for example,

Further, Y of the polyamide resin of the general formula (1) is, for example,

Etc., but is not limited thereto. Among them, particularly preferred ones are selected from the group represented by the formula (4), and two or more kinds may be used.

Further, the positive photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is obtained by reacting bis (aminophenol) having the structure of X with dicarboxylic acid or dicarboxylic acid dichloride or dicarboxylic acid derivative having the structure of Y from the viewpoint of storage stability. After synthesizing the polyamide resin, it is important to cap the terminal amino group with an acid anhydride containing an aliphatic group or a cyclic compound group having at least one alkenyl group or alkynyl group. As a group derived from an acid anhydride containing an aliphatic group or a cyclic compound group having at least one alkenyl group or alkynyl group, for example,

However, the present invention is not limited to these, and two or more kinds may be used.
Z in the general formula (1) is used, for example, when particularly excellent adhesion to a substrate such as a silicon wafer is required, and the use ratio b is up to 40 mol%. If it exceeds 40 mol%, the solubility of the resin in the developing solution is extremely reduced, and undeveloped portions (scum) are generated, so that pattern processing cannot be performed. When using X, Y, and Z, one type or a mixture of two or more types may be used. N in the general formula (1) is from 2 to 300, but if it exceeds 300, scum may be generated after development, which is not preferable.

The positive photosensitive resin composition of the present invention further comprises an acid capable of decomposing a hydroxyl group of a phenol compound represented by the general formula (2) in the presence of an acid in order to further improve the dissolution contrast between an exposed portion and an unexposed portion. It is important to incorporate a compound (C) protected by a labile group. As a result, the resistance to an aqueous alkali solution is improved in the unexposed area, and in the exposed area, the acid labile group is eliminated by the action of the catalytic acid generated from the photoacid generator, thereby regenerating the hydroxyl group and promoting the dissolution promoting action. Prompt.
[0032]
Examples of the acid labile group that decomposes in the presence of an acid include an alkoxycarbonyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkoxycarbonylmethyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkoxyalkyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, and an alkoxyalkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms. And alkyl-substituted silyl group, tetrahydropyranyl group, tetrahydrofuranyl group and the like. Particularly preferred are tetrahydropyranyl group and tetrahydrofuranyl group.

The positive photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is used by dissolving these components in a solvent (D) and forming a varnish. As the solvent (D), it is important to select a solvent that does not contain a nitrogen atom in order to prevent the catalytic acid generated from the photoacid generator from being deactivated. Specific examples include a cyclic ketone having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, a cyclic lactone having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, dimethyl sulfoxide, diethylene glycol dialkyl ether, propylene glycol monoalkyl ether, dipropylene glycol monoalkyl ether, and propylene glycol monoalkyl ether.

Chirueteru, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, methyl lactate, ethyl lactate, include butyl lactate, and these may be used individually or as a mixture.
[0036]
The positive photosensitive resin composition of the present invention further comprises a phenol compound (P) to promote the diffusion of the catalytic acid generated from the photoacid generator for the purpose of increasing the dissolution contrast between the exposed and unexposed areas. It is preferred to blend E). The diffusion of the catalytic acid is based on the behavior via hydrophilic hydroxyl groups in the system (Jpn. J. Appl. Phys., Vol. 35, Pt. 1, No. 12B, p6501 (1996)). The addition of an appropriate phenol compound (E) promotes the elimination reaction of the protecting group. Further, since these phenol compounds (E) are soluble in an aqueous alkaline solution, the solubility of the exposed area is increased, and the phenol compound (E) also has a function of increasing the sensitivity. The amount of the phenol compound (E) is preferably 1 to 30 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the polyamide resin (A) represented by the general formula (1). When the amount is less than 1 part by weight, the effect of diffusing the catalytic acid is not recognized. When the amount is more than 30 parts by weight, a remarkable reduction in the residual film ratio occurs during development, or precipitation during frozen storage may cause lack of practicality. Absent.
[0037]
Examples of the phenol compound (E) include, but are not limited to, the following. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

If necessary, additives such as a leveling agent and a silane coupling agent can be added to the positive photosensitive resin composition of the present invention.
[0041]
The positive photosensitive resin composition of the present invention is first applied to a suitable support, for example, a silicon wafer, a ceramic substrate, an aluminum substrate, or the like. In the case of a semiconductor device, the application amount is such that the final film thickness after curing is 0.1 to 30 μm. If the thickness is less than 0.1 μm, it will be difficult to sufficiently exert the function as a protective surface film of the semiconductor element, and if it exceeds 30 μm, it will be difficult to obtain a fine processed pattern. Examples of the coating method include spin coating using a spinner, spray coating using a spray coater, dipping, printing, and roll coating. Next, after pre-baking at 60 to 130 ° C. to dry the coating film, the desired pattern shape is irradiated with actinic radiation. As the actinic radiation, X-rays, electron beams, ultraviolet rays, visible rays and the like can be used, but those having a wavelength of 200 to 500 nm are preferable. After exposure, heat treatment is performed at 60 to 150 ° C. using an oven or a hot plate. The acid generated from the photoacid generator is diffused by the post-exposure bake, and the protective group is eliminated by a catalytic reaction.
[0042]
Next, a relief pattern is obtained by dissolving and removing the irradiated portion with a developing solution. Examples of the developing solution include inorganic alkalis such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium silicate, sodium metasilicate, and aqueous ammonia, primary amines such as ethylamine and n-propylamine, diethylamine, and di-n. Secondary amines such as propylamine, tertiary amines such as triethylamine and methyldiethylamine, alcoholamines such as dimethylethanolamine and triethanolamine, and quaternary ammoniums such as tetramethylammonium hydroxide and tetraethylammonium hydroxide. An aqueous solution of an alkali such as a salt and an aqueous solution obtained by adding an appropriate amount of a water-soluble organic solvent such as an alcohol such as methanol or ethanol or a surfactant thereto can be suitably used. As a developing method, a system such as spray, paddle, immersion, and ultrasonic wave can be used.
[0043]
Next, the relief pattern formed by development is rinsed. Distilled water is used as the rinsing liquid. Next, heat treatment is performed to form an oxazole ring, thereby obtaining a final pattern having high heat resistance.
The positive photosensitive resin composition according to the present invention is useful not only for semiconductor applications, but also as interlayer insulation for multilayer circuits, cover coats for flexible copper clad boards, solder resist films, liquid crystal alignment films, and the like.
