Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided an ink composition, including: a combination of specific dyes, in which the dynamic contact angle of the ink to a silicon wafer is 24° or lower at 100 msec after dropping, and is 9° or lower at 5,100 msec after dropping.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An ink composition, comprising: a dye (Y-1) represented by a formula below; a dye (Y-2) selected from the group consisting of C.I. Direct Yellows 86, 132, and 142; and a polyoxyakylene alkyl ether, wherein a content ratio A of the dye (Y-1) and the dye (Y-2) (the dye (Y-1):the dye (Y-2)) is 7:3 to 9.5:0.5 , a content of the dye (Y-1) is 2.0 mass % to 5.0 mass %, and a dynamic contact angle of the composition to a silicon wafer is 24° or lower at 100 msec after dropping, and is 9° or lower at 5,100 msec after dropping, wherein in Formula (Y-1), R 4 represents a substituent, R 5 represents —OR 6 or —NHR 7 , each of R 6 and R 7 represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent, X 3 represents a divalent linking group, n0 is 0 or 1, Ar 3 represents a divalent heterocyclic group, and Ar 4 represents an alkyl group, an aryl group, or a triazine group. 2. The ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the dye (Y-2) is 0.10 mass % to 1.0 mass %. 3. The ink composition according to claim 1 , comprising a dye (Y-3) represented by a formula below, wherein a content of the dye (Y-3) is 0.50 mass % to 1.5 mass %, wherein in Formula (Y-3), R 13 's each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent, R 14 's each independently represent —OR 16 , —NHR 17 , or a cyano group, each of R 16 and R 17 represents a hydrogen atom or a substituent, X 1 represents a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group or a substituted or unsubstituted triazine group, n6 is 0 or 1, Ar 1 's each independently represent a divalent heterocyclic group, and Ar 2 's each independently represent a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted aryl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted triazine group. 4. The ink composition according to claim 1 , comprising triethylene glycol alkyl ether. 5. The ink composition according to claim 4 , wherein a mass ratio of the triethylene glycol alkyl ether to the polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether is 2 or more. 6. The ink composition according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether is 1.0 mass % to 5.0 mass %. 7. The ink composition according to claim 4 , wherein a content of the triethylene glycol alkyl ether is 3.0 mass % to 15 mass %. 8. The ink composition according to claim 4 , wherein the triethylene glycol alkyl ether includes triethylene glycol monobutyl ether. 9. An ink composition, comprising: a dye (Y-1) represented by a formula below; a dye (Y-2) selected from the group consisting of C.I. Direct Yellows 86, 132, and 142; an alkylene oxide adduct of an acetylene glycol having a main chain of 12 or more carbon atoms; and an acetylene glycol having a main chain of 10 or more carbon atoms, wherein a content ratio A of the dye (Y-1) and the dye (Y-2)(Y-1):the dye (y-2)is 7:3to 9.5:0.5, acontent of the dye (Y-1) is 2.0 mass %, and a dynamic contact angle of the composition to a silcon wafer is 24° or lower at 100 msec after dropping, and is 9° or lower at 5,100 msec dropping, wherein in Formula (Y-1), R 4 represents a substituent, R 5 represents —OR 6 or —NHR 7 , each of R 6 and R 7 represents a hydrgen atom or a substituent, X 3 represents a divalent linking group, n0 is 0 or 1, Ar 3 represents a divalent heterocyclic group, and Ar 4 represents an alkyl group, an aryl group, or a triazine group.
