Description

Metallized polyimide film and the flexible PCB that uses this film
Technical field
The present invention relates to metallized polyimide film and use its flexible PCB, in more detail, the present invention relates to following metallized polyimide film and use its flexible PCB, elongation when this metallized polyimide film can obtain OLB (lead wire bonding) operation reduces by 50% flexible PCB than existing product.
Background technology
The substrate that forms electronic circuit and these electronic units are installed comprise " the lead wire circuit plate " of hardboard shape and film-form and have flexibility, can free bend " flexible PCB " (following, sometimes also referred to as FPC).Wherein, FPC is owing to applying flexibly its flexibility, can require like that at the hinge portion of circuit board, hard disk drive (HDD), Digital video disc (DVD) module, mobile phone for lcd driver (driver) to use in the part of bendability, so its demand is increasing gradually.
, this flexible PCB is used and on the surface of polyimide film, is provided with the base material of metal level, by relief method or semi-additive process, this metal level is processed, thereby is obtained circuit.To obtain the situation of flexible PCB by relief method, describe in passing, first, on the layer on surface of metal of base material, resist layer is set, on this resist layer, places the mask with specified circuit pattern, by irradiation ultraviolet radiation on it, expose, develop, obtain the etching mask for etch metal layers, then, the metal part exposing is removed in etching, then remove residual resist layer, washing if needed, is carried out specific plating in the conductor terminal part of circuit etc.
In the situation that obtaining by semi-additive process, 1 dose of layer against corrosion is set in the metal surface of base material, on this resist layer, place the mask with specified circuit pattern, by irradiation ultraviolet radiation on it, exposed, develop, obtain for the plating mask in layer on surface of metal electro-coppering, the metal level that opening portion is exposed is electroplated as negative electrode, form circuit part, then remove resist layer, carry out soft etching, remove the metal level of circuit part above-mentioned substrate surface in addition, thereby completing circuit part, washing, if needed, in the conductor terminal part of circuit etc., carry out specific plating.
Now, that liquid crystal display (following, sometimes also referred to as LCD), mobile phone, digital camera and various electrical equipment all require is frivolous, small-sized, lightweight quantizes, cost degradation, and the electronic unit of installing therein is also carrying out the trend of miniaturization certainly.As a result, requiring the circuit spacing of the flexible PCB of use is below 25 μ m.
In order to meet this requirement, need to obtain the flexible PCB that circuit spacing is 25 μ m, in the situation that obtaining circuit by relief method, the impact producing is carved in lateral erosion owing to not having circuit to manufacture, therefore in order to obtain the circuit that cross section rectangular shape is good, the thickness of the above-mentioned metal level arranging on base material is necessary for below 20 μ m.In addition,, when obtaining circuit by semi-additive process, the thickness of above-mentioned metal level is necessary for several μ m.
Method as obtaining this base material, is recommended on insulative resin film surface, by dry plating, obtains metallic film, obtains copper film thereon by dry plating, by wet method plating, copper film is set thereon, thereby obtains the method for metal level.This is because this base material obtains whole formation films by plating method, therefore can control arbitrarily the thickness of metal level.
In addition,, in circuit fine pitch, also require to improve the tack of metal level and insulating properties film.This is owing to semiconductor element being installed in flexible PCB, and the electrode of semiconductor component surfaces and circuit inside conductor partly carry out Bonding, but in order to shorten production time per piece now, need at high temperature exert pressure and carry out Bonding.
Therefore in LCD, due to the fine pitch of circuit, during OLB (lead wire bonding) operation in being connected of the glass substrate of LCD and COF (covering brilliant film), need to use ACF (anisotropic conducting film) bonding.ACF is the film of pick-up metal particulate in thermosetting resin, in carrying out the position of OLB, glass substrate by LCD and COF seize on both sides by the arms and heat and pressurize, thus, the overlapping contact of metal particle in ACF, only on compression aspect, can guarantee conductivity, on the other hand, between the circuit between the circuit on glass substrate and on COF, can guarantee the insulating properties of AFC.
When this OLB (lead wire bonding) operation, AFC heats in the scope of 150 ℃~200 ℃, under the pressure more than 1MPa, pressurizes.Therefore,, under this condition, if the size of COF changes, cannot guarantee conductivity, the insulating properties of regulation, so the dimensional stability of COF is extremely important.
In addition, the adhesive strength of improving the metal level arranging on polyimide film and this surface is to develop the research topic not stopped since this base material, has carried out a large amount of tests.
Therefore, the applicant has proposed to use and has comprised pyromellitic acid dianhydride (PMDA) and 4,4 '-diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA) is as principal component, or contain by pyromellitic acid dianhydride (PMDA) and 4, the composition that 4 '-diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA) forms and by bibenzene tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA) and 4, the composition that 4 '-diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA) forms is as the polyimide film of principal component, by being carried out to plasma treatment, corona discharge or wet treatment, this polyimide film surface carries out upgrading, thereby on this surface, import hydrophilic functional group, make the thickness of this upgrading layer be below, pass through sputtering method thereon, adopt the preparation of metals kind layer that is at least selected from nickel, chromium and alloy thereof, the copper layer of thickness 8 μ m is set by plating method thereon, thus the method (referring to the 1st, 2 pages of patent documentations 1) of 2 layers of plating coating copper polyimide substrate of preparation.
Pass through the method, the initial stage adhesive strength of the polyimide surface of gained base material and metal level is at 150 ℃, in atmosphere, place after 168 hours, and the adhesive strength of carrying out under 121 ℃, humidity 95%, 2 atmospheric pressure after the PCT test of 100 hours is more than 400N/m excellent like this value (referring to the 5th page of patent documentation 1).
In addition, excellent in dimensional stability has been proposed, be suitable for fine pitch circuit substrate, especially in thin-film width direction with the polyimide film of the COF (covering brilliant film) of thin space distribution with cover copper laminated body (patent documentation 2) used as base material.Wherein, recorded to be desirably in two amine components and used more than specified quantitative 4,4 '-diaminobenzene formailide, from the viewpoint of dimensional stability, the thermal coefficient of expansion of regulation polyimide film, makes thermal coefficient of expansion consistent with the thermal coefficient of expansion of metal.In using the circuit substrate of metallized polyimide film, not only require dimensional stability, also require adhesive strength.Yet, in patent documentation 2, for adhesive strength, not record, metallized polyimide is not the material that can have both dimensional stability and tack.

Embodiment
Below, use accompanying drawing, metallized polyimide film of the present invention, flexible PCB and their manufacture method are elaborated.
1. metallized polyimide film
Metallized polyimide film of the present invention is that the metallized polyimide film of metal film is directly set on the surface of polyimide film by plating method, above-mentioned polyimide film is characterised in that, when thickness is 35 μ m~40 μ m, water absorption rate is 1 quality %~3 quality %, and, thermal coefficient of expansion is 3ppm/ ℃~8ppm/ ℃ in TD direction (Width), in MD direction (compared with length direction), is 9ppm/ ℃~15ppm/ ℃.
In addition, metallized polyimide film of the present invention is direct on the surface of the following specific polyimide film describing in detail, by adhesive, does not form metal film.Metal film forms by underlying metal film with at the surperficial copper layer arranging of underlying metal film.Copper layer forms by copper film or by copper film and copper film.; metallized polyimide film of the present invention is not use adhesive that the duplexer of metal film is just set on the surface of polyimide film 1, and metal film is underlying metal film 2 and forms the copper film 3 of copper layer and the stepped construction (referring to Fig. 4) of the copper film 3 of the stepped construction (referring to Fig. 3) of copper film 4 or underlying metal film 2 and formation copper layer.
2. polyimide film
The polyimide film using in the present invention is when thickness is 35 μ m~40 μ m, and water absorption rate is 1 quality %~3 quality %.
Surface at polyimide film forms underlying metal film and copper film by dry plating, and then, by wet method plating, especially galvanoplastic form in the situation of specific thickness copper film, form the tensile stress of electrostatic stress form in copper film.This tensile stress is the reason that metal film and polyimide layer are peeled off.
When copper film being set by wet method plating, polyimide film is dipping in plating is bathed.The water absorption of polyimide film is good, if flooded in plating is bathed, can absorb water and expand.In addition, due to after finishing at plating, carry out heat drying, therefore can shrink the state being returned to before plating is processed.Therefore, as long as the speed of expansion causing due to polyimide film water suction is suitable, can complete copper film on the surface of the polyimide film suitably expanding, then pass through heat drying, polyimide film shrinks, can extend copper film, thereby reduce in copper film with the residual tensile stress of internal stress form.
In addition, in the present invention, except the speed of expansion causing due to polyimide film water suction, also must consider water absorption rate.In the present invention, using water absorption rate is the polyimide film of 1~3 quality %, if water absorption rate less than 1 quality %, the swell increment of the polyimide film being caused by water suction is less, cannot realize object of the present invention.If water absorption rate surpasses 3 quality %, the swell increment causing due to the water suction of polyimide film is excessive, the in the situation that of heat drying, in copper layer, as internal stress, compression stress be can produce, enough initial stage adhesive strengths and PCT adhesive strength sometimes cannot be obtained.
In addition, as polyimide film, have as above-mentioned absorptive reason, can consider as follows.
Conventionally, due to its thermal endurance and forming method, easily there is crystallization in known polyimide film.In the polyimide film of crystallization, polyimide molecule proper alignment, easily passes in and out moisture between this molecule and molecule.That is, in the polyimides of suitable crystallization, using thickness is the polyimide film of 35 μ m~40 μ m, and can make water absorption rate is 1~3 quality %.
In order to confirm whether crystallization of polyimide film, can carry out film X-ray diffraction method mensuration to polyimide film surface.The in the situation that of crystallization, its crystallization degree is also inconsistent, and conventionally, a plurality of peaks can be confirmed on spectrogram.In the present invention, if measure TD direction (Width), as shown in fig. 1, preferably, within the scope of each of 2 θ=12 °~18 °, 2 θ=26 °~32 °, 2 θ=42 °~48 °, having halfwidth is 1.5 ° of following peaks.The number at peak as long as there is 1 in scope separately.This is due to so long as the crystallization polyimide film of this degree, it is exactly the polyimide film that the present invention has suitable water absorption rate and the coefficient of expansion, as a result, by processing, thereby can guarantee the adhesive strength of expectation and the dimensional stability of COF on metallized polyimide film.
In addition, in the polyimide film using in the present invention, if carry out film X-ray diffraction method mensuration (Cu K α incidence angle=0.1 °) in TD direction (Width), preferably there is no halfwidth be the peak below 1.5 ° to the position below 2 θ=11 °.In current polyimide film, if carry out same mensuration, to have halfwidth be the peak below 1.5 ° to the position below 2 θ=11 °, the film using in metallized polyimide film of the present invention demonstrates by the elongation technology in improved thin film film formation process, thereby can realize the speciality of low-thermal-expansion.Specifically, use and at present same raw material, by the mixed proportion of feed change, and in film formation process, embody anisotropy, thereby can improve elongation technology, in addition, by making glass transition temperature also rise to Tg:350 ° of left and right from Tg:320 ° of left and right of existing product, by being controlled at, the thermal coefficient of expansion of TD direction (Width) approaches 3ppm/ ℃~8ppm/ ℃ of silicon and glass, if thereby carry out film X-ray diffraction method mensuration (Cu K α incidence angle=0.1 °) in TD direction (Width), obtaining position below 2 θ=11 °, there is no halfwidth be the polyimide film at the peak below 1.5 °.
By adopting this polyimide film, the circuit and the LSI that cause due to the heating that can suppress due to bonding process, or the departing from or be offset of mutual alignment between circuit and glass, therefore can be high-precision bonding, promotes the possibility that productivity ratio improves to improve.If this is owing to existing product being carried out in TD direction (Width) to film X-ray diffraction method mensuration (Cu K α incidence angle=0.1 °), because the position below 2 θ=11 ° has halfwidth, be the peak below 1.5 °, therefore have deviation such problem greatly of carrying out elongation in OLB bond sequence by orientation.
Polyimide film can directly arrange on surface metal level, now, the coefficient of thermal expansion differences of metal level and polyimide film is larger, on the circuit part that high-temperature heating during online bonding causes narrow width and polyimide film bonding face, produces load, just more easily peels off.Therefore,, in order to avoid this problem, the thermal coefficient of expansion of polyimide film used is necessary for 3ppm/ ℃~8ppm/ ℃ in TD direction, in MD direction, is necessary for 9ppm/ ℃~15ppm/ ℃.By within the scope of this, thereby the in the situation that of directly metal level being set on polyimide film surface, even produce load on the circuit part that high-temperature heating during online bonding causes narrow width and polyimide film bonding face, being also difficult to generation and peeling off.
In addition, humidity expansion coefficient is 7ppm/%HR~13ppm/%HR in TD direction, in MD direction, is 12ppm/%HR~15ppm/%HR.This is due to so long as the polyimide film of humidity expansion coefficient within the scope of this, just can be by being processed into metallized polyimide film, thus guarantee the adhesive strength of expectation and the dimensional stability of COF.
As the polyimide film using in the present invention, as long as have above-mentioned characteristic, in addition, just there is no particular limitation.As described later, preferably use and take the polyimide film that bibenzene tetracarboxylic is principal component.The polyimide film that the bibenzene tetracarboxylic of take is principal component, due to thermal endurance, excellent in dimensional stability, is therefore preferred.
The thickness of the polyimide film using in the present invention has no particular limits, but qualification rate while considering to guarantee bendability and metal film forming is 25~50 μ m, is preferably 25~45 μ m.
In addition,, in order to improve the various characteristics of the films such as sliding, heat conductivity, can also use the product that adds filler.In this case, as the material of filler, be preferably silicon dioxide, titanium oxide, aluminium oxide, silicon nitride, boron nitride, calcium monohydrogen phosphate, calcium phosphate, mica etc.
The particle diameter of filler as required the film characteristics of upgrading and the filling kind of interpolation different, there is no particular limitation, conventionally average grain diameter is 0.05~100 μ m, is preferably 0.1~75 μ m, more preferably 0.1~50 μ m, is particularly preferably 0.1~25 μ m.If particle diameter, lower than this scope, is difficult to embody the effect of upgrading, if exceed this scope, probably can damage significantly surface characteristic, greatly reduce mechanical property.
In addition,, because the addition of filler is also by the decisions such as particle diameter that need film characteristics and the filler of upgrading, therefore there is no particular limitation.Conventionally, with respect to 100 weight portion polyimides, the addition of filler is 0.01~100 weight portion, is preferably 0.01~90 weight portion, more preferably 0.02~80 weight portion.If filler addition lower than this scope, is difficult to embody the upgrading effect obtaining due to filler, if surpass this scope, probably can greatly damage the mechanical property of film.
As the example of this polyimide film, can enumerate the KAPTON 150EN-A (registered trade mark) for example being sold by East レデユポ Application Co., Ltd..
2. the manufacture method of polyimide film

3. metallized polyimide film and manufacture method thereof
Metallized polyimide film of the present invention can on the specific polyimide film surface as above-mentioned acquisition directly, just form metal film without adhesive.
As shown in Figure 3,4, metal film consists of with copper layer 4 underlying metal film 2 and the copper film 3 arranging on the surface of underlying metal film 2 or copper film 3.; metallized polyimide film of the present invention is, on the surface of polyimide film 1, the duplexer of metal film is not set by adhesive, and metal film is underlying metal film 2 and the stepped construction or the underlying metal film 2 and the copper film 3 of formation copper layer and the stepped construction of copper layer 4 that form the copper film 3 of copper layer.Underlying metal film 2 forms by plating method with 3 expectations of copper film.In the latter, can, after underlying metal film 2 and copper film 3 are set, the copper film 4 of specific thickness be set by wet method plating.
(a) underlying metal film
Underlying metal film is for guaranteeing the film of the reliabilities such as polyimide film and metal film tack and thermal endurance.Therefore, the material of underlying metal film, in order to improve the adhesive force of polyimide film and copper layer, is selected from any in nickel, chromium and their alloy, and while being prepared by bond strength and circuit, easy etching is set out, preferably nichrome.In addition,, for the concentration gradient of nichrome is set, can also form metallic film with the different a plurality of nichrome layers of chromium concn.As long as form with these metals, just can improve corrosion resistance, the resistance to migration of metallized polyimide film.
In addition,, in order further to improve the corrosion resistance of underlying metal film, can also in above-mentioned metal, add palladium, titanium, molybdenum, cobalt etc.
In addition, before carrying out dry plating, in order to improve the tack of polyimide film and underlying metal film, preferably passing through corona discharge or ion exposure etc., polyimide film surface is carried out after surface treatment, under oxygen atmosphere, carry out ultraviolet treatment with irradiation.To these treatment conditions, there is no particular limitation, can be the condition adopting in the manufacture method of common metallized polyimide film.
The thickness of above-mentioned underlying metal film is preferably 3~50nm.Not enough 3nm, if the metal level of above-mentioned metallized polyimide film is carried out etching and prepares circuit, the above-mentioned metallic film of etching solution meeting etch, invades between polyimide film and above-mentioned metallic film, circuit can float sometimes, is not preferred.On the other hand, if surpass 50nm,, in the situation that circuit is prepared in etching, cannot remove metallic film completely, its form with residue remains between circuit, probably can produce the defective insulation between circuit.
Above-mentioned underlying metal film is preferably by dry plating film forming.In dry plating, comprise sputtering method, magnetron sputtering system, ion plating method, ion beam method, vacuum vapour deposition, CVD method etc., can use arbitrarily, in industry, use magnetron sputtering system.This is because production efficiency is higher.
(b) copper film
In the present invention, on underlying metal film, stacked copper film preferably forms by dry plating.The dry plating adopting can be used any of above-mentioned sputtering method, magnetron sputtering system, ion plating method, ion beam method, vacuum vapour deposition, CVD method etc.Can also by magnetron sputtering system by after above-mentioned metallic film film forming, by vapour deposition method, above-mentioned copper film is set.That is, can adopt the identical above-mentioned metallic film of method dry plating and copper film, also can adopt different dry platings to form.
If the reason of above-mentioned copper film is set, be owing to directly by galvanoplastic, above-mentioned copper layer being set on above-mentioned metallic film, the resistance of switching on improves, and the current density of plating is unstable.By above-mentioned copper film is set, thereby can reduce energising resistance, the current density stabilisation while making to electroplate.The thickness of this copper film is 10nm~1 μ m, is preferably 20nm~0.8 μ m.If this is due to thinner than this value, cannot fully reduce the energising resistance while electroplating, if blocked up, when film forming, can spend a large amount of time, productivity is worsened, economy incurs loss.
(c) copper film
In metallized polyimide film of the present invention, can as required, on copper film, copper film be set.The necessity of copper film suitably determines according to the manufacturing process of flexible PCB.
The thickness of copper film is preferably 1.0~20.0 μ m.If this is due to less than 1.0 μ m,, when forming circuit, sometimes cannot obtain enough conductivity, if surpass 20 μ m, the internal stress of copper film is excessive.
Copper film preferably arranges by wet method plating.In dry plating, the thickness for plating becomes to stipulate, requires a great deal of time, and productivity is worsened, and economy incurs loss.In wet method plating, comprise galvanoplastic and electroless plating method, can use any, also can be used in combination, galvanoplastic are simple, and gained copper film is careful, are therefore preferred.In addition, plating condition can be carried out under known condition.
In the situation that copper film being set by galvanoplastic, if use sulfuric acid bath, can obtain the electroplating copper film with suitable tensile stress, flexible by the expansion of polyimide film, can more easily obtain the balance of internal stress, so be preferred.
In the situation that obtaining copper film by galvanoplastic, under the state of the internal stress of this copper film before polyimide film dry is dry, be preferably the tensile stress of 5~30MPa.If this is due to not enough 5MPa,, when dry polyimide film, the flexible effect of polyimide film is large not, if surpass the tensile stress of 30MPa, the flexible effect of the polyimide film while being dried polyimide film is too small.
The copper being undertaken by sulfuric acid bath is electroplated as long as under common condition.As plating bath, can use the commercially available copper sulphate plating bath of using in common copper is electroplated.In addition, the average cathode-current density of the preferred coating bath of cathode-current density is 1~3A/dm 2.This is the not enough 1A/dm of average cathode-current density due to cathode-current density 2, the hardness of gained copper film is higher, is difficult to guarantee bendability, even if use gained metallized polyimide film to obtain flexible PCB, gained flexible PCB also can't become well in flexibility.On the other hand, if be because average cathode-current density surpasses 3A/dm 2, in the residual stress producing in gained copper film, can produce inhomogeneous.
Use the electro-coppering device of sulfuric acid bath identical with dry plating operation, from being arranged on the machine that rolls out of electro-coppering device portal side, roll out the polyimide film of roller shape, carry and also pass through successively plating coating groove, the electroplanting device of the roll-to-roll mode of carrying out when batching with coiling machine, because production efficiency improves, manufacturing cost reduces, and is therefore preferred.In this case, the transporting velocity of film is preferably adjusted into 50~150m/h.If transporting velocity deficiency 50m/h, productivity is too low, if surpass 150m/h, needs to improve electrical current amount, must use large-scale supply unit, has the higher such problem of equipment price.
In thus obtained metallized polyimide film of the present invention, based on JPCABM01-11.5.3 (B method) (peel strength), evaluate, be that initial stage adhesive strength is more than 600N/m, elongation when ACF during OLB operation is bonding is that 0.023mm has so below and reduces the circuit substrate of existing product 50% elongation function and use its flexible PCB obtaining.
