Description

Metallic pattern formation method, metallic pattern, printed leads plate and TFT lead plate
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method and thus obtained metallic pattern that forms metallic pattern.Especially, the present invention relates to method and the thus obtained metallic pattern of a kind of formation as the metallic pattern of printed leads plate and TFT (thin-film transistor) lead plate conductive layer.
Background technology
In the art, main common metal pattern forming method is subtractive method, false add method and full additivity method.
Subtractive method comprises the steps: to form above the metal level that forms on the substrate to the light activated photoresist layer of the activation that shines, the photoresist layer is exposed to form image, form the resist figure by developing, form metallic pattern, finally remove resist by etching metal.The substrate interface of the metal substrate that this method is used is roughened usually, to improve bonding effect, improves the adhesion between substrate and the metal level.As a result, the substrate interface roughening of formed metallic pattern can cause the bad problem of high frequency characteristics change when product is used for electric wiring usually.In addition, owing to needed to carry out the substrate surface roughening before forming metal substrate, this has also brought the problem that needs with complex steps such as treatment substrate such as strong acid such as chromic acid.
For example, in order to overcome these problems, " advanced material (Advanced Materials) " the 20th volume of publishing Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (JP-A) No.58-196238 and 2000 has proposed in the 1481st~1494 page a kind of by the substrate surface grafting being handled certain adhesion grade to be provided and to simplify the method for processing substrate step thus and change substrate surface, make the substrate inhomogeneities minimize and simplify thus the method for processing substrate step thus by grafting polymerisable compound group thereon.Yet expensive device is necessary as gamma-rays generation device and electron beam generating device.And, can estimate to cause the initial group of polymerization of glycerol polymerization not to be introduced in the substrate, thereby cause having formed a spot of graft polymers.
Therefore, though the metal substrate by the preparation of this method by subtractive method by graphical, but this product still contain following subtractive method intrinsic problem.In order to form the metallic pattern with thin live width by subtractive method, it is effective that the live width of resist figure what is called of attenuation after etching is crossed engraving method.Yet, when meticulous metallic pattern passed through engraving method and directly formed, practical point of view according to forming favourable fine metal figure is difficult to form the metallic pattern with 30 μ m or littler live width, this be since institute form the defective that goes between as ooze out, attenuate, disconnection connection etc.In addition, also can bring the problem with cost and environmental correclation, this is because in order to remove the metal film that exists in the zone outside patterned area, also needs quite to become the original metallic wastewater that is caused by etch processes of handling.
In order to overcome these problems, new metallic pattern formation method has been proposed, i.e. the false add method.The false add method is the method that may further comprise the steps.That is, comprising the thin metal lower layer of Cr etc. and on metal lower layer, forming the resist figure thus by formation such as plating on the substrate.Wiring figure is by form the metal level that comprises Cu etc. and removal resist figure step subsequently produces by electroplating on the metal lower layer zone except the resist patterned area.By etching metal lower floor while mask wiring figure, on the zone except the resist graphics field, form metallic pattern subsequently.Because it is less etch process, so this method can more easily form the thin line graph with 30 μ m or littler live width; And owing to metal only is deposited on the desired zone, so it is also favourable aspect cost.Yet metal needs is wanted the roughening substrate surface, is used to improve the adhesiveness between substrate and the metallic pattern.Consequently, the substrate surface roughening of formed metallic pattern causes the bad problem of high frequency characteristics change when using it for electrical wiring.
The metallic pattern formation method of so-called full additivity method replacedly, has also been proposed.Full additivity method is a kind of like this method, by on the zone except the resist figure by the electroplating deposition metal, remove the resist figure afterwards, on substrate, form the resist figure.Because it is the less technology of etching, the thin line graph that the therefore complete easier formation of additivity method has 30 μ m or littler live width.It also makes that in the mode similar to the false add method substrate interface is coarse, causes the bad problem of high frequency characteristics change when it is used for electrical wiring.
As mentioned above, can form thin line graph, have less substrate interface degree of irregularity, and the metallic pattern formation method that produces more a spot of etching waste water remain to be proposed, and need a kind of new metallic pattern formation method.
Above-mentioned metallic pattern is used for the printed circuit board (PCB) of semiconductor device as wiring (conducting film).In recent years, for electronic installation, be starved of with the high processing rate processing and stored data in batches.The internal clocking frequency or the 1 year year of external clock frequency that are used for handling the semiconductor device of image or control and treatment increase, and the number that connects pin is also increasing.In order to implement high-speed transfer, importantly reduce delay and signal amplitude.In order to reduce the propagation delay of signal, effectively reduce dielectric constant.In order to reduce dielectric absorption, effectively reduce dielectric constant and dielectric loss angle tangent respectively.Yet because the dielectric constant in the dielectric absorption is the root of dielectric constant, therefore, in the reality, dielectric loss angle tangent is very relevant therewith.For this reason, according to the viewpoint of material behavior, the insulating material of usefully taking to have low-dielectric loss angle tangent characteristic is used to implement the high-speed data processing.
And the surface smoothing of electric conducting material is handled to help to form has highdensity material.In the printed circuit board (PCB) that conventional method makes up, roughened has been used to obtain peel strength.Yet present situation is, several microns irregularly shaped also can influence fine wiring.
Therefore, according to the viewpoint of the printed circuit board (PCB) that is formed for semiconductor device, will on smooth insulated substrate, form very fine metallic pattern with high-adhesiveness.
Now disclose a kind of formation conductive metal pattern on substrate and do not had erose method, comprise by using photosensitive silicones to carry out graphically, give catalyst and forming metallic pattern (for example, seeing Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (JP-A) No.2000-349417) by electroplating.Yet, silicones can not provide and normally used insulating resin as being used for adhesiveness enough between printed leads plate such as polyimide resin and the epoxy resin, needing to provide higher adhering method.
In view of the foregoing, the applicant has proposed a kind of method that forms metallic pattern, and it is included in plated metal particle (for example, seeing JP-A No.2003-114525) on the fine pattern that is formed by graft polymers that is bonded directly to substrate.According to this method, can form required fine pattern according to the exposure accuracy.Yet for the metallic pattern that forms by the plated metal fine granular, there is restriction in its conductivity.In order to be applied to printed leads material etc., need under current environment, further improve conductivity, for example, realize by the technology that increases the accuracy of metallic pattern on metal layer thickness and the while retention wire cross direction.

Use have 100nm or still less the substrate of surface evenness be preferred because the less substrate surface uniformity can cause the less unevenness of substrate interface of metallic pattern, it can cause the improvement of the metallic pattern high frequency characteristics that obtains conversely.
Method of the present invention provides accuracy to be higher than those metallic patterns that obtain by the conventional etched pattern forming method that uses the resist figure, this is because it comprises electroless plating catalyst or its precursor optionally to be applied to not zone with electroless plating or its precursors reaction, and this electroless plating and its precursor are by embodiment as described above (1) or (2) and have the surface charge improver jointly or electroplating under the situation of catalytic inhibitor and carry out electroless method formation subsequently.Method of the present invention is also advantageous in that does not discharge etching waste water.
In the present invention, the substrate surface of metallic pattern forms so that minimize the scrambling of substrate interface by substrate being carried out the surface grafting processing.And substrate interface is in the admixture that forms by metal ingredient that makes up metal film and the graft polymers that is bonded directly to substrate.Therefore, think thus the metal film that forms and the adhesiveness height between the substrate.
Among the present invention, the Rz of the parameter that the die mould method of the conventional known relevant with surface texture of serving as reasons limits, promptly " be up to the mean value of the 5th peak value Z data on the particular surface and be low to moderate difference between the mean value of the 5th dark bottom Z data most " the coarse sign that is used as surperficial unevenness.
When being used as conventional material by the metallic pattern that obtains according to the inventive method, the metal in the lead-in wire zone and the scrambling at the interface between the organic material are more little, and the electrical loss (loss) in the high-frequency electrical transmission is just more little.
Therefore, have printed leads plate by using the metallic pattern of the present invention that metallic pattern obtains as its conductive layer (lead-in wire) and TFT lead plate and have flatness, and adhesiveness, fineness, all good lead-in wire of conductivity and high frequency characteristics aspect of substrate.
