Abstract
Provided is a photosensitive silane coupling agent for forming a low-defect microparticle pattern, dot array pattern, or hole array pattern with a smaller number of process steps, and a method of forming a pattern using such photosensitive silane coupling agent. Used is a photosensitive silane coupling agent having a secondary amino group protected by an o-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl group.
Claims14
A photosensitive silane coupling agent having a structure represented by the following general formula (1),
- wherein X is a polymethylene group part of hydrogen atoms of which may be substituted with a fluorine atom or an alkyl group, a phenylene group part of hydrogen atoms of which may be substituted with a fluorine atom or an alkyl group, a naphthylene group part of hydrogen atoms of which may be substituted with a fluorine atom or an alkyl group, or a divalent group having a structure on which at least two of the polymethylene group, the phenylene group, and the naphthylene group are bonded to each other;
- at least one of R1, R2 and R3 is an alkoxy group or a halogen atom, the other(s) being selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group, an alkenyl group and a hydrogen atom;
- R4 is an alkyl group part of hydrogen atoms of which may be substituted with a fluorine atom, a phenyl group part of hydrogen atoms of which may be substituted with a fluorine atom or an alkyl group, or a naphthyl group part of hydrogen atoms of which may be substituted with a fluorine atom or an alkyl group;
- R5 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group;
- and R6, R7, R8 and R9 are selected from the group consisting of a nitro group, a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, an alkyl group, and an alkyl group or an alkoxy group part or the whole of hydrogen atoms of which are substituted with a fluorine atom.
