Abstract

A positive photosensitive siloxane composition containing: a polysiloxane (Ia), which is obtained by hydrolyzing and condensing the silane compound represented by RSi(OR 1 ) 3 in general formula (1) and the silane compound represented by Si(OR 1 ) 4 in general formula (2) in the presence of a basic catalyst, and a pre-baked film of which has a dissolution rate of 1,000 Å/second or less in a 5 wt % TMAH aqueous solution; a polysiloxane (Ib), which is obtained by hydrolyzing and condensing at least the silane compound represented by general formula (1) in the presence of an acid or basic catalyst, and a pre-baked film of which has a dissolution rate of 100 Å/second or more in a 2.38 wt % TMAH aqueous solution; and a diazonaphthoquinone derivative and solvent. (In the formula: R represents a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, in which any methylene may be replaced by oxygen, or represents an aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, in which any hydrogen may be replaced by fluorine; and R 1 is an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.)

Claims (22)

1. A positive photosensitive siloxane composition comprising (I) two kinds or more of polysiloxanes which have different dissolution rates in a tetramethylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution each other, (II) a diazonaphthoquinone derivative, and (III) solvent,

wherein the polysiloxane (I) is a mixture of

a polysiloxane (Ia) which is obtained by hydrolyzing and condensing, in the presence of a basic catalyst, a silane compound represented by the formula (1):

RSi(OR 1 ) 3

and a silane compound represented by the formula (2):

Si(OR 1 ) 4

in which R represents a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, in which any methylene group may be replaced by an oxygen atom, or represents an aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, in which any hydrogen atom may be replaced by a fluorine atom, and R 1 represents an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms,

a prebaked film of which is soluble in a 5% tetramethylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution, and a dissolution rate of which is 1,000 Å/second or less in a 5% TMAH aqueous solution, and

a polysiloxane (Ib) which is obtained by hydrolyzing and condensing at least the silane compound represented by the formula (1) in the presence of an acidic or basic catalyst, and a prebaked film of which has a dissolution rate of 100 Å/second or more in a 2.38% tetramethylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution.

2. The positive photosensitive siloxane composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polysiloxane (Ib) is obtained by further using a silane compound represented by the formula (2).

3. The positive photosensitive siloxane composition according to claim 1 , wherein the dissolution rate of the polysiloxane (I) in a 2.38% TMAH aqueous solution is 10 Å/second to 1,000 Å/second.

4. The positive photosensitive siloxane composition according to claim 1 , wherein the dissolution rate of a prebaked film of the polysiloxane (Ib) in a 2.38% TMAH aqueous solution is 4,000 Å/second or more and the dissolution rate of a prebaked film of the polysiloxane (I) in a 2.38% TMAH aqueous solution is 100 Å/second to 1,000 Å/second.

5. The positive photosensitive siloxane composition according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of polysiloxane (Ia) in the polysiloxane (I) is 1 to 80 wt %.

6. The positive photosensitive siloxane composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polysiloxane (Ib) is obtained by hydrolyzing and condensing the aforementioned silane compound or compounds in the presence of a basic catalyst.

7. The positive photosensitive siloxane composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polysiloxane (Ia) contains the silane compound represented by the formula (2) in an amount of 1 mole-% to 40 mole-%.

8. The positive photosensitive siloxane composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polysiloxane (Ib) contains the silane compound represented by the formula (2) in an amount of 1 mole-% to 40 mole-%.

9. The positive photosensitive siloxane composition according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of a silane compound in which R is a methyl group is 20 mole-% to 80 mole-% in the silane compound (1).

10. The positive photosensitive siloxane composition according to claim 1 , which contains a curing aid that can generate an acid or base by heat or radiation.

11. The positive photosensitive siloxane composition according to claim 1 , which contains a crown ether.

12. A cured film which is formed by the positive photosensitive siloxane composition according to claim 1 .

13. An element having the cured film according to claim 12 .

14. The element according to claim 13 , wherein a dielectric constant of the cured film is 4 or less.
