ポリオキシアルキレン基と、他の成分、例えばバインダー樹脂(C)との相互作用、いわゆるアンカー効果により、重合体(A)は、塗膜表面から脱離しにくくなる効果が考えられる。特に、現像工程の後の高圧水を使用したジェットリンス工程を行う場合、重合体(A)は表層から脱離しやすい。しかしながら、重合体(A)は、ポリオキシアルキレン基を有する側鎖を有するため、前記アンカー効果により、塗膜表面に重合体(A)が残りやすく、塗膜は撥液性を発現しやすい傾向がある。このため、インクジェット法を用いて、隔壁で囲まれた開口部にインクを塗布する際に、隣接する開口部間における混色の発生や開口部における白抜けの発生を抑制することができる。また、重合体(A)は、ポリオキシアルキレン基を有する側鎖を有することで、以下に説明する残膜の発生を抑制することができる。
ポリアルキレン鎖が残膜の発生を抑制する機構は定かではないが、現像液中の気泡が一旦、塗膜に付着したとしても、ポリアルキレン鎖が表面に存在することによって、容易に気泡が除去されるか、少なくとも同一箇所に気泡が留まりにくいことが考えられる。
重合体(A)の質量平均分子量が2.6×104以下であると、隔壁間開口部の親液性が不十分であり、インクジェット法を用いてインクを塗布したときに開口部にインクが十分に濡れ拡がらない。また、質量平均分子量が20×104を超えると、アルカリ溶解性、現像性が不十分となる。
質量平均分子量(Mw(A))が3.0×104超12×104以下の範囲であると、さらにアルカリの種類や濃度、ジェットリンスの条件に因らず、撥液性が高く保たれやすく、製造マージンが広くなり好ましい。また、重合体(A)の製造のしやすさからも好ましい。
なお、本明細書において、質量平均分子量(Mw)および数平均分子量(Mn)とは、ゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィー法により、ポリスチレンを標準物質として測定した値をいう。
基(1)におけるRfとしては、上記エーテル性酸素原子を有していてもよい炭素数が1~20のフルオロアルキル基が好ましい。また、Xは、フッ素原子であることが特に好ましい。
Rfがエーテル性酸素原子を有していてもよい炭素数が1以上20以下のフルオロアルキル基の場合、Rfとしては、エーテル性酸素原子を有しないパーフルオロアルキル基とエーテル性酸素原子を有するパーフルオロアルキル基が好ましく、エーテル性酸素原子を有しないパーフルオロアルキル基がより好ましい。その炭素数は1~11が好ましく、3~5が特に好ましい。
本発明で用いる重合体(A)におけるポリオキシアルキレン基の含有量は、5~60質量%が好ましい。より好ましくは、10~55質量%であり、特に好ましくは、15~50質量%である。重合体(A)におけるポリオキシアルキレン基の含有量が5質量%未満であると、現像工程の後に高圧水を使用したジェットリンス工程を行った場合、撥液性が著しく低下することがある。さらに、最終的に得られる隔壁や隔壁開口部に多くの残膜が存在する状態となるおそれがある。また、ポリオキシアルキレン基の含有量が60質量%を超えると、撥液性が低下することがある。
-(R11O)m(R12O)jR13 …(11)
(式(11)中、R11はエチレン基を、R12は炭素数3または4のアルキレン基を、R13は、水素原子、または、置換基を有してもよい炭素数1~10のアルキル基を、mは4~100、jは0~100の整数をそれぞれ表し、m+jは4~100である。
基(11)中、mは4~100、jは0~100の整数をそれぞれ表すが、それぞれ50以下であることが好ましく、30以下であることがより好ましい。また、ポリオキシアルキレン基中のR11の数の割合であるm/(m+j)は、50~100%であることが好ましく、80~100%であることがより好ましく、実質上100%であることが特に好ましい。
また、m+jは、4~100であり、好ましくは6~50、より好ましくは8~30である。m+jが3以下であると、現像工程の後に高圧水を使用したジェットリンス工程を行った場合、撥液性が低下する傾向がある。さらに、残膜が多く発生する傾向がある。m+jが101以上であると、ポストベイク時に開口部に重合体(A)がマイグレートし、隔壁間開口部の親液性が不十分になり、インクジェット法を用いてインクを塗布したとき、開口部にインクが十分に濡れ拡がらないおそれがある。なお、上記一般式(11)において、(R11O)m(R12O)jは、基(11)が、m個の(R11O)単位とj個の(R12O)単位を有することを表すものであって、(R11O)単位と(R12O)単位の結合の順番については特に制限されるものではない。つまり、基(11)において、m個の(R11O)単位とj個の(R12O)単位は、例えば、交互に、またはランダムに、もしくはブロックで結合していてもよい。
また、重合体(A)を含有する感光性組成物を用いて形成される隔壁の撥液性を考慮すると、R1およびR2は、それぞれ独立に、水素原子、メチル基、トリフルオロメチル基またはフェニル基であることが好ましく、全シロキサン単位のR1およびR2がメチル基であることが特に好ましい。
また、R3が、炭素数1以上10以下の有機基である場合、R3は窒素原子、酸素原子、フッ素原子等を有していてもよい。本発明において、R3は、水素原子、炭素数が1~5のアルキル基、またはフッ素原子で置換された炭素数1~5のアルキル基であることが好ましく、より好ましくは、トリフルオロメチル基またはメチル基である。さらに、基(2)においてnは、2~100の整数であることが好ましい。
本発明に用いる重合体(A)について、上記基(1)を有する側鎖および上記基(11)等のポリオキシアルキレン基を有する側鎖を有する構成とし、さらに任意に、上記基(2)を有する側鎖、酸性基を有する側鎖、隔壁マトリックスが有する官能基と熱または光により架橋可能な官能基を有する側鎖等を有する構成とするためには、これらの基を有する側鎖を重合反応によって直接形成する、または、重合反応後の化学変換によって形成する方法が挙げられる。
なお、共重合の種類としては、交互共重合、ブロック共重合、ランダム共重合等が挙げられ、それぞれ従来公知の方法で共重合を実行することができるが、本発明において、重合体(A)はランダム共重合により共重合して得られるランダム共重合体であることが好ましい。

これらのうちでも、化合物(3)におけるYとしては、入手の容易さから、炭素数が2~4のアルキレン基が好ましい。
CH2=CR14-COO-(W-O)q-(R11O)m(R12O)jR13 …(12)

化合物(12)および(13)における-(W-O)q-は、qが0の場合は単結合を表す。qが1の場合、-(W-O)q-はR11側に酸素原子を有する有機基である。qが1の場合、Wは炭素数2~10の2価の炭化水素基が好ましく、炭素数2~6のアルキレン基、炭素数5または6のシクロアルキレン基、炭素数5または6のシクロアルキレン基の両側または片側に炭素数1~2のアルキレン基を有する合計炭素数6~10のシクロアルキレン基含有アルキレン基であることが好ましい。ただし、WがR11と同一のアルキレン基である場合は(さらに、qが0でない場合にはR12と同一のアルキレン基である場合も)、qが0とみなす。
また、上記化合物(12)および(13)におけるR14としては、水素原子、フッ素原子、塩素原子、メチル基、またはトリフルオロメチル基が好ましく、水素原子またはメチル基が特に好ましい。

なお、重合体(A)の製造に際して、原料単量体として、基(1)を有する単量体以外にフッ素原子を含有する単量体を用いる場合には、得られる重合体(A)におけるフッ素原子含有量が上記好ましい範囲となるように、各原料単量体の割合を適宜調整すればよい。
このようにして製造される重合体(A)はランダム共重合であるが、共重合反応系へ原料単量体の導入時期を単量体の種類により変える等の通常の方法を用いてブロック共重合体を製造することも可能である。

重合体(A)’は、重合体(A)と同様、基(11)を有する側鎖を、好ましくは重合体(A)’に対する基(11)の含有量として5~60重量%となるような割合で、有する。さらに重合体(A)’は任意に、酸性基を有する側鎖、隔壁マトリックスが有する官能基と熱または光により架橋可能な官能基を有する側鎖等を有することが可能であり、このような側鎖を有する構成とするための重合反応についても、基(1)を有する単量体を原料単量体として用いず、必須の原料単量体として基(2)を有する単量体を用いる以外は、上記重合体(A)と同様とすることができる。

感光性樹脂(C1)は、1分子内に上記光重合に関与するエチレン性二重結合を有し、さらに酸性基を有するため、アルカリ現像液を用いて、硬化されていない感光性組成物の未露光部を選択的に除去することができ、その結果、隔壁を形成することができる。なお、感光性樹脂(C1)は、基(1)および基(2)を実質的に有しないことが好ましい。
エポキシ樹脂に酸性基とエチレン性二重結合とを導入した樹脂(C1-2)としては、式(6)で表されるビフェニル骨格を有するエポキシ樹脂に酸性基とエチレン性二重結合とを導入した樹脂、式(7)で表されるエポキシ樹脂に酸性基とエチレン性二重結合とを導入した樹脂または式(8)で表されるエポキシ樹脂に酸性基とエチレン性二重結合とを導入した樹脂が好ましい。当該樹脂を使用することにより、黒色着色剤を組成物中により多く配合でき、遮光性、光学濃度を高くすることが可能となる。また、現像時の塗膜剥離が抑制されて、高解像度のパターンを得ることができる。一方で、ラインの直線性が良好であり好ましい。さらに、ポストベーク工程後の外観が維持され、平滑な塗膜表面が得られやすく、好ましい。

アルカリ可溶性樹脂(C21)は、カルボキシル基および/またはフェノール性水酸基を有する。カルボキシル基および/またはフェノール性水酸基を有することによりアルカリ性溶液に可溶であり、また、カルボキシル基および/またはフェノール性水酸基と反応し得る基を2個以上有する化合物である架橋性樹脂(C22)と架橋し塗膜硬化物を形成し得る。アルカリ可溶性樹脂(C21)は、感光性組成物のフォトリソグラフィ等において使用する現像液を構成するアルカリ性溶液に対して可溶の樹脂であれば何等制限なく使用することが可能であり、例えば、カルボキシル基とエチレン性二重結合を有する単量体および/またはフェノール性水酸基とエチレン性二重結合を有する単量体を必須として重合させて得られる樹脂(C21-1)、フェノール樹脂等が挙げられる。これらの樹脂は、基(1)および基(2)を実質的に有しないことが好ましい。
架橋性樹脂(C22)は、カルボキシル基および/またはフェノール性水酸基と反応し得る基を2個以上有する化合物である。カルボキシル基および/またはフェノール性水酸基と反応し得る基を2個以上有することにより、カルボキシル基および/またはフェノール性水酸基を有するアルカリ可溶性樹脂(C21)と架橋し塗膜硬化物を形成し得る。また、上記重合体(A)がカルボキシル基および/または水酸基を有する場合には重合体(A)とも架橋し塗膜硬化物を形成し得る。架橋性樹脂(C22)は、基(1)および基(2)を実質的に有しない化合物であることが好ましい。
本発明に係る酸硬化型感光性組成物は、上記重合体(A)、光硬化開始剤(B)としての光酸発生剤(B2)、およびバインダー樹脂(C)としてのカルボキシル基および/またはフェノール性水酸基を有するアルカリ可溶性樹脂(C21)と、カルボキシル基および/またはフェノール性水酸基と反応し得る基を2個以上有する化合物である架橋性樹脂(C22)を含有するが、本発明の効果を損なわない範囲において、各種機能の向上等を目的として各種任意成分を含有することが可能である。
このような任意成分としては、上記ラジカル硬化型感光性組成物で説明した任意成分のうちの、エチレン性二重結合を2個以上有する架橋剤(D)以外の全ての成分を、ラジカル硬化型感光性組成物の場合と同様に、酸硬化型感光性組成物に用いることが可能である。
上記説明したラジカル硬化型感光性組成物や酸硬化型感光性組成物等の本発明の感光性組成物を用いて隔壁を形成する際には、感光性組成物を溶媒で希釈した希釈液を用いて塗膜(湿潤膜)を形成した後に、溶媒を揮発除去し、感光性組成物の塗膜を形成することが好ましい。
本発明の隔壁は、上記本発明の感光性組成物の塗膜硬化物により、基板上を画素形成用の複数の区画に仕切るかたちに形成された隔壁であって、カラーフィルタや有機EL素子のブラックマトリックス等に適用することができる。
まず、本発明の感光性組成物の希釈液を基板に塗布する。基板としては、特に限定されず、各種ガラス板;SiC基板、シリコン等の無機基板;ITO等の無機酸化物基板;ポリエステル(ポリエチレンテレフタレート等)、ポリオレフィン(ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン等)、ポリカーボネート、ポリメチルメタクリレート、ポリスルホン、ポリイミド、ポリ(メタ)アクリル樹脂等の熱可塑性樹脂シート;エポキシ樹脂、不飽和ポリエステル等の熱硬化性樹脂の硬化シート等が挙げられる。耐熱性を考慮すると、基板としては、ガラス板とポリイミド等の耐熱性樹脂が好ましい。また、基板の隔壁が形成されていない側の面からの露光が可能であることから、基板は、透明であることが好ましい。さらに、基板は、ガラス基板等の透明基板上に、有機膜またはTFT(Thin Film Transistor:薄膜トランジスタ)、ITO、SiO2等の無機酸化物膜が形成された基板またはパターニングされた基板、シリコンナイトライドやポリイミドなどの絶縁膜を形成させた基板、これらの基板が積層されている積層基板であってもよい。
次に、基板に形成された塗膜を乾燥する。これにより、溶媒が揮発するため、粘着性のない感光性組成物の塗膜が得られる。乾燥方法としては、特に限定されず、真空乾燥、加熱乾燥が挙げられる。塗膜の外観のムラを発生させず、効率よく乾燥させるために、真空乾燥と加熱乾燥を併用することが好ましい。乾燥条件は、感光性組成物に含まれる成分の種類、組成等により異なるが、真空乾燥は、10~500Pa(絶対圧)で10~300秒間であることが好ましく、加熱乾燥は、50~120℃で10~2000秒間であることが好ましい。
次に、所定パターンのマスクを介して、塗膜を露光する。露光時に照射される光としては、特に限定されず、可視光、紫外線、遠紫外線、KrFエキシマレーザー、ArFエキシマレーザー、F2エキシマレーザー、Kr2エキシマレーザー、KrArエキシマレーザー、Ar2エキシマレーザー等のエキシマレーザー、X線、電子線等が挙げられる。波長が100~600nmの光が好ましく、波長が300~500nmの光がより好ましく、i線(365nm)、h線(405nm)、g線(436nm)が特に好ましい。なお、光源としては、公知の超高圧水銀灯等を用いることができる。
次に、現像液を用いて、塗膜の未露光部を除去し、現像する。現像液としては、特に限定されないが、無機アルカリ類、アミン類、アルカノールアミン類、第4級アンモニウム塩等のアルカリの水溶液が挙げられる。現像時間、すなわち、現像液に接触させる時間は、5~180秒間であることが好ましい。現像方法としては、特に限定されないが、液盛り法、ディッピング法、シャワー法等が挙げられる。
さらに、ジェットリンスを行うことが好ましい。ジェットリンスとは、隔壁が形成された基板に対し、水を圧縮、または水および空気を圧縮し、噴霧する工程である。圧力は2~20MPaであることが好ましい。ジェットリンスを行うことによって、現像工程にて溶け残った残渣や、現像中に溶解した感光性組成物の成分の一部が、基板に再付着したものを除去することが可能である。
なお、ジェットリンス後に、圧縮空気や圧縮窒素で風乾させることにより、基板上の水分を除去することができる。
次に、現像された隔壁に対してポスト露光を行ってもよい。このとき、隔壁が形成されている側の面および隔壁が形成されていない側の面のいずれから露光してもよいし、両面から露光してもよい。露光時に照射される光は、紫外線であることが好ましい。
現像後(ポスト露光を行う際は、ポスト露光後)に、隔壁を加熱することが好ましい。加熱条件は、150~250℃で5~90分間であることが好ましく、加熱温度は、180℃以上がより好ましい。加熱温度が低すぎると、耐薬品性が不十分となることがあり、隔壁にインクを塗布した場合に、隔壁が膨潤したり、インクが滲んだりすることがある。
一方、加熱温度が高すぎると、隔壁が熱分解することがある。

以下に説明する方法で、上記各実施例および比較例で作製したガラス基板サンプル(2)およびガラス基板サンプル(3)を用いて撥液性を評価した。また上記各実施例および比較例で作製したガラス基板サンプル(1)を用いて、隔壁間開口部内のインクの濡れ拡がり性、残膜発生の状態を評価した。評価結果を、感光性組成物の全固形成分における各成分の含有質量%とともに表3に示す。
表中、◎は最良、○は良、△は可、×は不可を示す。本発明は、全ての評価が◎または○であるものが良い。
ガラス基板サンプル(2)の塗膜硬化物の表面のPGMEAの接触角を測定することにより、撥液性を評価した。また、ガラス基板サンプル(3)の塗膜硬化物の表面のPGMEAの接触角を測定することにより、ジェットリンスによる撥液性耐性を評価した。
接触角とは、固体と液体が接触する点における液体表面に対する接線と固体表面がなす角であり、液体を含む側の角度で定義する。このため、接触角が大きい程、塗膜硬化物の撥液性が優れることを意味する。PGMEAの接触角が40°以上50°以下のものを○、35°以上40°未満のものを△、35°未満のものを×として、判定した。
ガラス基板サンプル(1)において、現像欠陥数を目視により計測することにより残膜発生の状態を評価した。面積あたりの現像欠陥数が100個未満のものを○、100個以上200個未満のものを△、200個以上のものを×として、判定した。

更に、より少ない約10pLのインクを塗布した場合でも、重合体(A)の質量平均分子量が40000以上である、実施例1~4はインクが隔壁間の開口部内に濡れ拡がり、白抜けがなかった。
ポリオキシアルキレン基を有さない重合体(R-2)を含有する感光性組成物を用いて得られた隔壁を有する比較例2のガラス基板サンプル(1)は、残膜が多数の発生していた。
