Description
The cross reference of related application
The application is to be that the sequence number in April 30 in 2004 is the part continuation application of 10/837, No. 109 application (being similarly pending application) applying date, and the subject content of this application all is incorporated into this by reference.
Technical field
The present invention relates to make the modification method of non-conductive substrate patterning with electrolytic metal.Patterned substrate of the present invention is used to make the tours antenna that wireless articles is used, and is used to make the circuit of phonecard, also is used to electronics that the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is provided.
Background technology
Many appliance and electronics need the pattern metallization of non-conductive substrate for the interconnection of electric room.The example of this type of application comprises high density packing (multi-chip module), antenna, flexible circuit, printed-wiring board (PWB) and flat-panel monitor.
RF identification (RFID) is a type of automatic recognition system.The purpose of rfid system is that data can be transmitted by a kind of handheld device that is called label (tag), and it reads by a kind of RFID reader, and is handled according to the needs of special applications.Basic rfid system is made of three parts:
Antenna or coil
Transceiver (having decoder)
Transponder (RF label), its information with uniqueness carry out the electronic program design
Comprise the mode that the wireless articles of label, identification plate, smart card etc. communicates to connect by a kind of radio frequency (RF), carry out radio communication with base station unit or reader.These article can be used to electronic recognition and follow the trail of article, personnel and transaction.Can receive by the antenna on the wireless articles by the RF signal that base station unit transmitted, perhaps can receive by base station unit with the RF signal that antenna transmitted on it, perhaps can receive by the opposing party in them by the RF signal that each transmitted in wireless articles and the base station unit by wireless articles.
The RFID label can classify as active or passive two kinds.Active RFID tag is driven by the battery of inside, generally carries out read/write operation, that is to say that the data of label can be rewritten and/or revise.The demand of the visual purposes of storage capacity of active label and changing.Passive RFID tags does not pass through independently external power source when operation, but obtains the electrical power for operation by the reader generation.
The significant advantage of all types rfid system is the noncontact that this technology had, the essence of non-direct-view.Label can see through multiple material, for example snow, mist, ice, paint, old dust and dirt and other visually with environment on disadvantageous situation and being read, and barcode or other optically read technology can't play a role in these cases.
Under each situation, all be to receive or transmit by the antenna on the wireless articles by the RF signal that wireless articles received or transmitted.Owing to wish that usually the size of wireless articles can be less, thus the antenna on it size is less too.The electrically-conductive coil pattern of RF antenna can make antenna receive in radio-frequency region and quantity of radiant energy.Antenna transmits the amplitude of RF signal for the sensitivity of little amplitude RF signal and by antenna, all is the positive function of area that tours antenna surrounded and the conductor institute pitch of the laps number that forms this ring.For compact tag or identification plate, its size has limited the area that tours antenna can surround, and has therefore also just limited the RF performance of antenna.Usually, antenna is optimised as it can be transmitted and received energy in the narrower frequency range of radio-frequency region.Radio-frequency antenna is connected with unicircuit usually.This unicircuit receives the energy from detecting unit, modulates this energy with the identification icon that is stored in the unicircuit, and then the energy that will modulate is sent to detecting unit.The RF identification tag is operated in 3GHz or higher range of frequency at 100KHz usually.
The method of having described the method for multiple assembling wireless articles in the prior art and on these type of article, having formed RF antenna and circuit.
Authorize the 6th, 333, No. 721 patents of the U.S. of Altwassen, its subject content all is incorporated into this by reference, thereby has described a kind of method that impresses out electrically-conductive coil formation RF antenna by the outside at tinsel.The shortcoming of this method is can produce a large amount of metallic scrap when making wire coil.In addition, low by tinsel by the snappiness of the RF antenna made of mode of the impression snappiness more required than many purposes.
The another kind of method that is used for forming the RF antenna of being advised is to utilize normally used peeling off (strip-back) technology when making printed circuit board (PCB).When making printed circuit board (PCB), on substrate, form layer of conductive material (being metal), and will it goes without doing the zone of antenna peel off.When making the very waste that just seems when making radio-frequency antenna in this way because a radio-frequency coil antenna covered substrate surface-area about 10%.By contrast, the area of the required covering of enforcement of general printed circuit board (PCB) is approximately 70~80%.
Another method that forms the RF antenna on non-conductive substrate is described in the U.S. the 6th that authorizes people such as Brady, 662, No. 430 patents, its subject content all is incorporated into this by reference, wherein circuit is connected with the antenna made from matrix material, and is connected for point between this matrix material and the circuit.Antenna is by the formed thickener of metal-powder, polymeric material and solvent is made by a wire mesh screens to the mode on the substrate.When thickener is still moist, contact with moist slurry by the electrical contact that makes circuit, thereby circuit and material are combined, then remove solvent again and/or polymer matrix material is solidified.
At RCD Technology, among the WO 01/69717 that Inc. proposed, its subject content all is incorporated into this by reference, has described a kind of method of utilizing conductive ink to form the RF antenna.Conductive ink is imprinted on the substrate according to the pattern of RF aerial coil, and then solidifies.But this printed antenna former state is used, or electrode can be connected with the conductive ink pattern, and then electroplates layer of metal on the conductive ink pattern.
The basic problem of RF label and identification equipment is: the cost of tag/card sheet must be reduced to littler than the cost of the product of attachment labels, could use a large amount of labels then, and mass production could further reduce cost like this.The cost of label is semi-conductor chip, antenna, carries the cost of the substrate of holding antenna and chip and attach cost.Because this kind equipment is used more and more widely, when reducing production costs, there remains a need in the art for the efficient that reaches higher in the processing procedure.
The present inventor finds, can be by using a kind of catalytic ink composite that is used to form antenna and circuit of novelty, plate one deck electroless plating composition then, then plate one deck electrolysis plating coating composition again, thereby advantageously produce antenna and circuit.The contriver also is surprised to find, and the catalytic ink prescription of novelty of the present invention can be advantageously used in provides the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding on electronics, and then plates no electric metal plating coating composition.
Being used for the method for EMI shielding is provided on electronics is known in the art.Authorize the 6th, 697, No. 248 patents of the U.S. of Luch, its subject content is incorporated into this by reference fully, has listed the common method of several EMI of being used for shieldings, and the problem that some occurred in these methods.
The common method that is used for shielded electronic equipment comprises that the electroconductibility barrier with reflection and/or absorbing radiation comes around electronic component.The simplest method is to select metal housing or shell to be used for shielding in theory.The sheet metal lining can be used in combination with the plastics outside surface, also must be attached on the plastic housing but trend towards costliness, and this makes assembling procedure become complicated and longer.
Developed a lot of methods and provide shielding, comprised and use conductive coating paint (it can apply by the apparatus that sprays paint of routine) and vacuum metallization processes (it comprises the electric conduction of heating metal and makes its evaporation, so that metal is condensed on the frosting) for plastic components.
The another kind of method that makes plastics have the EMI shielding comprises uses electroless deposition process to come non-conductive surface such as plastic chemistry ground coating one deck continuous metal film.Use comprises that a series of chemical steps of etching reagent and catalyzer prepare non-conductive plastic base, to accept to make metal chemical reduction and sedimentary metal level from solution.This method generally includes the copper of the highly conductive of deposition skim, is the nickel external coating (EC) then, and its protection copper internal layer is avoided oxidation and corrosion.Because electroless deposition process is a kind of dipping method, thus technology that can dependence operator within reason and on random appearance almost the uniform coating of coating, no matter its size or complicacy are how.Electroless deposition process also provides the pure metal surface of highly conductive, and it can obtain good relatively shield effectiveness.In addition, next the part of electroless plating can be electroplated, although do not use plating usually, unless part also has certain ornamental or functional demand.
But this method has comprised too many step, and is very easy to be used to make the influence of the process variables of plastic base.In addition, selective metallization, the particularly selective metallization on complicated shape be difficulty very, and this is because electroless plating tends to be coated with any surface of exposing to the open air, unless overall process is controlled meticulously.Though carried out the process that multiple trial is reduced at plating on the plastic base, this area still needs the plating plastic base so that EMI to be provided the modification method of shielding.
Though extensively disclose catalytic ink composite and plating coating catalyst in the prior art, this area still needs to can be used for to form RF antenna, phonecard circuit and provides EMI the improvement catalytic ink composite of shielding for electronics.

The U.S. the 5th that is authorizing Portner, 288, in No. 313 patents, its subject content all is incorporated into this by reference, a kind of plating coating catalyst has been described, it comprises a kind of catalytic particulate mixture that is scattered in the liquid coating composition, and can be used for forming the metallic coating of selective deposition.This catalytic particle is formed by the reductive metal-salt, and this metal-salt is the electroless plating catalyzer that is coated on the inert particulate carrier.This inventive method can be carried out plating with good plating speed, and forms a kind of settling, and it still can keep strong adhering to the substrate of its below under long-time situation about using.Yet this catalyzer must use with the form of thickener, and before coating catalyst, this method also needs to make the step of non-conductive substrate solvation (promptly softening).
In the 5th, 378, No. 268 patents of the U.S. that authorizes people such as Wolf, its subject content all is incorporated into this by reference, has described a kind of paint base composition, is used for the chemical metallization of substrate surface, and need not to carry out etching with oxygenant as before.This paint base composition comprises a) membrane-forming agent based on polyurethane system; B) has particular surface tensile additive; C) ionic state and/or colloidal state precious metal or its organo-metallic covalent compound; D) filler; And e) solvent.Yet, do not point out that the described paint base compositions of people such as Wolf can optionally be applied to make RF antenna or smart card circuitry.
In the 6th, 461, No. 678 patents of the U.S. that authorizes people such as Chen, its subject content all is incorporated into this by reference, has also described a kind ofly will contain the method that solvent, carrier and metal catalyst ionic catalyst solution are coated on substrate surface.But the whole surface of this catalyst solution covered substrate, or optionally only be coated on the part surface of substrate.Solvent strength in the catalyst solution layer on substrate surface can be reduced by heated substrates.By further heated substrates, can in residual catalyst layer, form metal cluster.Mode that then can electroless plating scribbles the part metal refining of catalyst solution on the surface of substrate.Then, scribble the extra metal of part deposition of catalyst solution on the surface of substrate again in the mode of electrolysis plating.Yet people such as Chen do not point out that in the summary of the invention of its description its catalyzer can be used for making the method for RF antenna or smart card circuitry yet.
Therefore, in the art, still need to overcome the improvement catalytic ink composition of many shortcomings in the prior art, and use this catalytic ink composition to make the RF antenna that wireless articles uses and the modification method of circuit, and the improvement EMI shielding of electronics need be provided.
