Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Strukturieren oder Ätzen von mit Kunststoff beschichtetem, kupferkaschiertem Basismaterial durch impulsförmige Bestrahlung mit Licht.The invention relates to a method for structuring or etching with Plastic-coated, copper-clad base material thanks to pulse-shaped Irradiation with light.
Bisherige Verfahren versuchen Leiterbahnstrukturen entweder im Subtraktiv- oder im Semiadditivverfahren so herzustellen, indem sie auf das Ausgangssubstrat ei ne photosensible Schicht aufbringen. Diese wird mit herkömmlichen Maskalignern oder Laserplottern belichtet und anschließend entwickelt, worauf die Schritte des Ätzens für das Subtraktivverfahren oder des Leiterbahnaufbaus in an sich bekannter Weise erfolgen.Previous methods try conductor track structures either in the subtractive or to produce in the semi-additive process by ei on the starting substrate Apply a photosensitive layer. This is done with conventional mask aligners or laser plotter exposed and then developed, followed by the steps of etching for the subtractive process or the construction of the conductor track in itself done in a known manner.
Die Erfindung hat die Aufgabe, die relativ teuren und stark umweltbelastenden photochemischen Schritte der herkömmlichen Verfahren durch preisgünstigere und umweltfreundlichere zu ersetzen.The invention has the task of being relatively expensive and extremely polluting photochemical steps of conventional methods through less expensive and to replace more environmentally friendly.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Verfahren gemäß dem kennzeichnen den Teil des Patentanspruches gelöst.According to the invention, this object is characterized by a method according to the solved the part of the claim.
Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Kennzeichnungsteilen der Unteran sprüche zu entnehmen.Further refinements of the invention are the labeling parts of the Unteran to take sayings.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wird im Prinzip wie folgt durchgeführt: Man bestrahlt Materialien impulsförmig mit Strahlung (<300 nm), während bei Überschreitung einer bestimmten benötigten Schwellenbestrahlung (bei Kunststof fen ca. 70 mJ/cm2) eine Ablation des Materials eintritt. Optimiert man die Be strahlung, so lassen sich Abtragsraten von bis zu 1E-6 m/puls erreichen. Bei Kunststoffen liegt die dafür nötige Bestrahlung bei 1-2 J/cm2, bei Kupfer bei ca. 10 J/cm2. Die dabei entstehenden Ablationsprodukte erreichen Geschwindig keiten von einigen 1E3 m/s und sollten, um eine Redeposition auf dem Substrat zu vermeiden, elektrostatisch abgesaugt werden (typ. U = 1E3 V). Die dabei verwendeten Repetierraten liegen bei ca. 10 Hz, übliche Pulsdauern bei ca. 15 ns. Geht man zu noch kürzeren Impulsdauern (300 fs), so ist es auch mög lich, Materialien zu ablatieren, die in diesem Spektralbereich keine Absorption zeigen. The method according to the invention is carried out in principle as follows: materials are irradiated in pulsed form with radiation (<300 nm), while when a certain required threshold radiation is exceeded (in the case of plastics approx. 70 mJ / cm 2 ) the material ablates. If the radiation is optimized, removal rates of up to 1E-6 m / pulse can be achieved. The radiation required for plastics is 1-2 J / cm 2 , for copper approx. 10 J / cm 2 . The resulting ablation products reach speeds of a few 1E3 m / s and should be suctioned off electrostatically in order to avoid repositioning on the substrate (typ. U = 1E3 V). The repetition rates used are around 10 Hz, the usual pulse durations are around 15 ns. If you go to even shorter pulse durations (300 fs), it is also possible to ablate materials that show no absorption in this spectral range.
Als Basismaterialien können grundsätzlich alle üblichen Leiterplattensubstrate verwendet werden, wie zum Beispiel solche auf Basis von FR4, Epoxidharzen, Polyimiden, Keramika, Polyamiden und anderen.Basically, all conventional circuit board substrates can be used are used, such as those based on FR4, epoxy resins, Polyimides, ceramics, polyamides and others.
Zur elektrolytischen Metallabscheidung werden die hierfür üblichen galvanischen Bäder, wie zum Beispiel Kupfer- oder Nickelbäder, verwendet.The usual galvanic ones are used for electrolytic metal deposition Baths such as copper or nickel baths are used.
Die Bestrahlung erfolgt unter Verwendung des an sich bekannten Excimer-Lasers.The irradiation is carried out using the excimer laser known per se.
Die folgenden Beispiele dienen zur Erläuterung der Erfindung.The following examples serve to illustrate the invention.
Auf 5E-6 m kupferkaschiertes Polyimid wird eine 35E-6 m dicke Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-Schicht aufgebracht und getrocknet. Über eine auf einen UV durchlässigen Träger aufgebrachte Metallmaske wird der Spider in ca. 5 s (ArF 10 Hz 1 J/cm2) herausgeätzt. Nach dem galvanischen Leiterbahnaufbau wird der Kunststoff gestrippt und die 5E-6 m Restkupfer chemisch geätzt.A 35E-6 m thick polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) layer is applied to 5E-6 m copper-clad polyimide and dried. The spider is etched out in about 5 s (ArF 10 Hz 1 J / cm 2 ) using a metal mask applied to a UV-permeable carrier. After the galvanic conductor track construction, the plastic is stripped and the 5E-6 m residual copper is chemically etched.

Statt des chemischen Ätzens und Strippens wird über eine Negativmaske die Kunststoffschicht mit einer Bestrahlung von ca. 10 J/cm2 entfernt und ebenso die Restkupferschicht zwischen den Leiterbahnen (Dauer ca. 5-10 s).Instead of chemical etching and stripping, the plastic layer is removed with an irradiation of approx. 10 J / cm 2 using a negative mask, as is the residual copper layer between the conductor tracks (duration approx. 5-10 s).
