The effect of invention
According to the present invention, can obtain intermittently crooked tolerance Copper Foil, in the situation that can obtain in the goods of reality, in FPC, to use, have rolled copper foil, copper-clad laminated board, the flexible printing wiring board (FPC) of higher weather resistance for bending.Possess in the electronics of flexible printing wiring board (FPC) of crooked tolerance Copper Foil at intermittence of the present invention in use, because the FPC that becomes its movable part possesses the crooked tolerance of the behaviour in service that has reflected in the real goods, so compare with only having considered the existing goods to the tolerance of continuous bending, weather resistance, reliability are superior.
Embodiment
Below, enumerate preferred embodiment, explain the present invention.
As mentioned above, in the past, utilized continuous bending motion to carry out the bendability evaluation of Copper Foil., the present inventor finds, compares with continuous bending, has situation about just rupturing with less number of bends Copper Foil in bending intermittently.And the variation of finding this rupture life results from the stress of Copper Foil and relaxes phenomenon, thereby has arrived the present invention.
According to present inventor's investigation, when making the Copper Foil alternating bending, at copper foil surface, tensile stress and stress under compression alternately work.If continuous bending, no matter repeatedly carry out several times bending, the stretching/compressing stress that works also is same degree.The pliability test of carrying out under this state is the pliability test of in the past carrying out., in the situation of bending intermittently, produce stress and relax between bending and bending, Narrow Hystersis (hysteresis loop) moves to the low-stress lateral deviation, and therefore the hysteresis loop line is from original skew when beginning bending again, and stress amplitude becomes large as a result.It is to cause the become conclusion of short reason of life-span of bending ratio continuous bending intermittently that the present inventor has drawn this.
The explanatory view of this phenomenon of explanation shown in Fig. 1.Fig. 1 is inboard and the outside of bending that is illustrated in the imagination Copper Foil, is divided in the situation of outside surface (outside surface) and internal surface (inner surface), and outside surface becomes the explanatory view that stretched state, internal surface become compressed state.Such as shown, because outer surface is in stretched state, so if keep this state, the stress that then can produce soon under this stretched state relaxes, the result becomes Narrow Hystersis to the state of compressed side skew about outside surface.On the other hand, such as shown, because internal surface is in compressed state, so if keep this state, the stress that then can produce soon under this compressed state relaxes, the result becomes Narrow Hystersis to the state of tensile side skew about internal surface.
Fig. 2 illustrates the explanatory view of the skew of the such Narrow Hystersis of explanation.The transverse axis of Fig. 2 represents distortion, and the longitudinal axis represents stress.In Fig. 2,3 Narrow Hystersiss of top, central part, bottom are shown.The Narrow Hystersis of central part is at the Narrow Hystersis that carries out continuously in the crooked situation.Do not relax the skew that causes if produce stress, then Narrow Hystersis was positioned at the position as the Narrow Hystersis of this central part originally.In the continuous pliability test of in the past carrying out, can say the pliability test of for example carrying out 100,000 times along this Narrow Hystersis.Therefore, if the use of FBC in the miniaturized electronics of reality carried out along such Narrow Hystersis, FBC should all tolerate and for example surpass 100,000 times bending, and such endurance quality of each manufacturer's expectation is shown.
The Narrow Hystersis on the top of Fig. 2 be make Copper Foil crooked and follow the time through generation stress relax after inner surface side that observe, Copper Foil because the Narrow Hystersis of stress mitigation after being offset.The Narrow Hystersis of the bottom of Fig. 2 be make Copper Foil crooked and follow the time through generation stress relax after outside surface side that observe, Copper Foil because the Narrow Hystersis of stress mitigation after being offset.Like this, make Copper Foil crooked and keep, producing along with the process of time in the situation that stress relaxes, same Copper Foil, outside surface side and inner surface side, have like this different Narrow Hystersiss.
And then after this, make Copper Foil crooked to opposition side, namely, the mode that the outside before making it becomes the inboard specifically, the inboard before making it becomes the outside is specifically carried out in the crooked situation, Narrow Hystersis from from the Narrow Hystersis on the top of Fig. 2 to the bottom, the Narrow Hystersis from the Narrow Hystersis of bottom to top simultaneously applies large amplitude above each Narrow Hystersis to the two sides of Copper Foil.And then after, if again make Copper Foil crooked and keep to opposition side, then again the two sides of Copper Foil is applied large amplitude above each Narrow Hystersis, the result, if continue like this to carry out bending intermittently, then alternately produce stress on the two sides and relax, stress, distortion amplitude increase.The arrow of Fig. 2 represents to produce the situation of the skew (amplitude) of such Narrow Hystersis.When continuing like this to carry out intermittently crooked, carry out like that the situation of continuous bending compares with the Narrow Hystersis circulation that only makes central part, Copper Foil is applied harsh distortion, and the result is not reaching if Copper Foil is just damaged in the situation of the number of bends that continuous bending just can tolerate.
Therefore, for fear of such breakage, the present inventor has expected improving the idea of the stress relaxation properties of Copper Foil.Therefore, the invention reside in, by the mitigation of minimizing stress, prevent that perhaps stress from relaxing generation, thereby the bendability at the intermittence of Copper Foil is improved, and then be the thus Copper Foil (comprising the Copper Foil among the FPC) of the bendability raising at intermittence.In this manual, enumerate the concrete embodiment that improves be used to the bendability at the intermittence that makes Copper Foil and come that the present invention will be described, but the concrete embodiment that the present invention is not enumerated like this limits.
And then for fear of such breakage, thereby the present inventor has expected can reducing idea with respect to the STRESS VARIATION of deflection by the Young's modulus that reduces Copper Foil.Thus, if even in the situation that the stress mitigation has occured, also can suppress the increase of stress, distortion amplitude.Therefore, the present invention also is, thereby improves the bendability at the intermittence of Copper Foil by the Young's modulus that reduces Copper Foil, and then is to have improved by it Copper Foil (comprising the Copper Foil among the FPC) of bendability intermittently.About this point, in this manual, enumerate the concrete embodiment that improves be used to the bendability at the intermittence that makes Copper Foil and come that the present invention will be described, but the concrete embodiment that the present invention is not enumerated like this limits.
[stress mitigation]
It is under the condition of fixing temperature, fixing distortion that stress relaxes, the phenomenon that reduces along with the time at the stress of metal load.
It is the phenomenon that the movement by the dislocation in the material produces that stress relaxes at microcosmic.The movement of such dislocation produces in crystal grain boundary easily.Therefore, the present invention reduces the length of the crystal grain boundary of Copper Foil and is used as realizing that stress relaxes the means that reduce, has realized thus the raising with respect to the tolerance of bending intermittently.
[crystal boundary length]
The length of crystal grain boundary (crystal boundary length) for example can be asked for as follows, namely, use CP(Cross section polisher to carrying out 30 minutes Copper Foils after the annealing with 200 ℃, the section polishing) forms rolling parallel sections, use EBSD(Electron Back Scattering Diffraction, EBSD, the JXA8500F processed of Jeol Ltd.), with step-length 0.5 μ m, acceleration voltage 15kV, WD23mm, electric current 5 * 10
-8A is to range of observation 1000 μ m
2Crystalline orientation measure, will be poor with the crystalline orientation of the measuring point of adjacency be that the above situation of 15 degree is regarded crystal grain boundary as, be determined at the crystal grain boundary length that comprises in the range of observation.
In preferred embodiment, the every observation sectional area 1000 μ m that see from rolling parallel sections
2The length of crystal grain boundary for example can be made as below the 200 μ m, preferably be made as below the 100 μ m, further preferably be made as below the 90 μ m, more preferably be made as below the 70 μ m, further preferably be made as below the 50 μ m.The viewpoint that relaxes from reducing stress, the length of crystal grain boundary is the smaller the better.On the other hand, in preferred embodiment, for example the length of crystal grain boundary can be made as more than the 0.1 μ m, for example more than the 1.0 μ m, for example more than the 5.0 μ m.From the viewpoint of the intensity of Copper Foil, the length of preferred crystal grain boundary is the value more than this value.
In order to represent the length of crystal grain boundary, Fig. 3 illustrates an example of the electron micrograph of the rolling parallel sections of observing.In Fig. 3,3 cross sectional photograph of upper, middle and lower are shown as the photo of growing crosswise.In the cross sectional photograph on the top of Fig. 3, almost can't see crystal grain boundary.This sample strip of almost can't see crystal grain boundary shows crooked tolerance (very) at good intermittence.Have, because Copper Foil is extremely thin, observe so for the electron gain microphotograph supporting mass is connected to Copper Foil, the black part of the topmost of the cross sectional photograph on top is the gap of this supporting mass and Copper Foil, and its white part under just is supporting mass.In the cross sectional photograph below Fig. 3, observe many crystal grain boundaries.This sample strip that is observed many crystal grain boundaries is the poor sample (bad) of crooked tolerance at intermittence.In the cross sectional photograph at the middle part of Fig. 3, observe moderate crystal grain boundary.This sample strip sample than the cross sectional photograph of above-mentioned bottom aspect crooked tolerance intermittently is outstanding, but poorer than the sample of the cross sectional photograph on above-mentioned top.
[stress mitigation rate]
Stress mitigation rate is asked for as follows, namely, for example will carry out 30 minutes Copper Foils after the annealing with 200 ℃, use precision cutting tool to cut out the strip of width 12.7mm, use tensile testing machine (AGS-X processed of Shimadzu Scisakusho Ltd), to be fixed apart from 50mm between chuck, distance between chuck to be stretched to 50.1mm to measure the stress T that will after t hour, obtain in the variation of 25 ℃ of counter stresses

In addition, the heat-up rate in total degree of finish of the rolling process that slightly before carries out of final cold rolling annealing operation before slightly and final cold rolling annealing operation before slightly is as shown in table 1 like that.Have, " zero " of heat-up rate means that heat-up rate is more than 5 ℃/second below 40 ℃/second again.In addition, " * " of comparative example 7 means with the heat-up rate that surpasses 40 ℃/second and anneals.
[evaluation]
The rolled copper foil that obtains is carried out perhaps making to estimate and use FPC after 30 minutes the annealing with 200 ℃, in the evaluation of Young's modulus described later, crystal boundary length, stress mitigation rate, bendability (continuous bend, intermittently bending).In table 1 and table 2, gathered the result who obtains.But about embodiment 2 and comparative example 2, not stacked polyimide and tectum (cover lay) and make it by roll temperature being adjusted into 350 ℃ lamination process machine, anneal thus, carry out the thermal treatment same with the thermal treatment of the situation of making evaluation usefulness FPC described later.At this moment heat treatment time was made as for 1 second.
[Young's modulus]
Young's modulus uses resonant mode tester (the Japanese technoplas TE-RT processed of Co., Ltd.) to measure.
[crystal boundary length]
To using CP(Cross section polisher with the Copper Foil after above-mentioned condition (200 ℃ or the 350 ℃) annealing, the section polishing) forms rolling parallel sections, use EBSD(Electron Back Scattering Diffraction, EBSD, the JXA8500F processed of Jeol Ltd.), with step-length 0.5 μ m, acceleration voltage 15kV, WD23mm, electric current 5 * 10
-8A is to range of observation 1000 μ m
2Crystalline orientation measure.Will be poor with the crystalline orientation of the measuring point of adjacency be that the above situation of 15 degree is regarded crystal grain boundary as, be determined at the crystal grain boundary length that comprises in the range of observation.
[stress mitigation rate]
Use precision cutting tool that the rolled copper foil that obtains is cut into the strip of width 12.7mm, anneal with above-mentioned condition (200 ℃ or 350 ℃), use tensile testing machine (AGS-X processed of Shimadzu Scisakusho Ltd) to be fixed apart from 50mm between chuck.Afterwards, distance between chuck is stretched to 50.1mm(is equivalent to 0.2% distortion), 25 ℃ of variations of measuring load.As stress mitigation rate (%), the stress T that acquisition will obtain after t hour
