The effect of invention
According to the present invention, the bending tolerance Copper Foil of interval can being obtained, obtaining when using in FPC in the goods of reality, for bending rolled copper foil, copper-clad laminated board, the flexible printing wiring board (FPC) with higher weather resistance.Possessing interval of the present invention in use bends in the electronics of flexible printing wiring board (FPC) of tolerance Copper Foil, because the FPC becoming its movable part possesses the bending tolerance of the behaviour in service in the goods reflecting reality, so compared with the existing goods only considered the tolerance that continuous print bends, weather resistance, of superior reliability.
Embodiment
Below, enumerate preferred embodiment, explain the present invention.
As mentioned above, in the past, utilize continuous print bending motion to carry out the bendability evaluation of Copper Foil., present inventor finds, compared with bending, exists at the bending middle of interval with the situation of less number of bends Copper Foil with regard to fracture with continuous print.And, find that the change of this rupture life results from the stress of Copper Foil and relaxes phenomenon, thus reach the present invention.
According to the investigation of present inventor, when making Copper Foil alternating bending, at copper foil surface, tensile stress and stress under compression alternately work.If continuous print bends, no matter repeatedly bend several times, the stretching/compressing stress worked also is same degree.The pliability test of carrying out in this condition is the pliability test of in the past carrying out., when interval bending, produce stress between bending and bending and relax, Narrow Hystersis (hysteresis loop) is to the skew of low-stress side, and therefore when starting bending again, Narrow Hystersis is from original skew, and result stress amplitude becomes greatly.Present inventor has shown that this causes the bending ratio continuous print of interval to bend the conclusion becoming life-span short reason.
The explanatory view of this phenomenon is described shown in Fig. 1.Fig. 1 represents the bending inner side and outer side at imagination Copper Foil, when being divided into outside surface (outside surface) and internal surface (inner surface), and the explanatory view that outside surface becomes stretched state, internal surface becomes compressed state.As illustrated, because outer surface is in stretched state, if so maintain this state, then can produce stress under this stretched state soon and relax, result, become about outside surface the state that Narrow Hystersis offsets to compressed side.On the other hand, as illustrated, because internal surface is in compressed state, if so maintain this state, then can produce stress under this compressed state soon and relax, result, become about internal surface the state that Narrow Hystersis offsets to tensile side.
Fig. 2 illustrates the explanatory view of the skew that such Narrow Hystersis is described.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 the Narrow Hystersis when bending continuously.If do not produce stress to relax the skew caused, then Narrow Hystersis was positioned at the position of the Narrow Hystersis as this central part originally.In the continuous print pliability test of in the past carrying out, the pliability test of such as to carry out 100,000 times along this Narrow Hystersis can be said.Therefore, if the use of FBC in the miniaturized electronics of reality is carried out along such Narrow Hystersis, FBC all should tolerate bending such as more than 100,000 times, and such endurance quality that each manufacturer expects is shown.
The Narrow Hystersis on the top of Fig. 2 be Copper Foil is bent and with the time observe after producing stress and relaxing, the inner surface side of the Copper Foil Narrow Hystersis because stress relaxes after skew.The Narrow Hystersis of the bottom of Fig. 2 be Copper Foil is bent and with the time observe after producing stress and relaxing, the outside surface side of the Copper Foil Narrow Hystersis because stress relaxes after skew.Like this, bend making Copper Foil and keep, producing stress along with the process of time when relaxing, same Copper Foil, outside surface side and inner surface side, there is different Narrow Hystersiss like this.
And then after this, make Copper Foil bending to opposition side, namely, outside before making it becomes inner side specifically, make it before inner side become the mode in outside specifically when carrying out bending, from the Narrow Hystersis of the Narrow Hystersis lower portion on the top of Fig. 2, simultaneously from the Narrow Hystersis of bottom to the Narrow Hystersis on top, the two sides of Copper Foil is applied above to the large amplitude of each Narrow Hystersis.And then afterwards, if again make Copper Foil bend to opposition side and keep, then again the two sides of Copper Foil is applied above to the large amplitude of each Narrow Hystersis, result, if continue like this to carry out the bending of interval, then alternately produce stress on two sides and relax, stress, strain amplitude increase.The arrow of Fig. 2 represents the situation of the skew (amplitude) producing such Narrow Hystersis.When continuing to carry out interval bending like this, circulate with only making the Narrow Hystersis of central part and carry out compared with the bending situation of continuous print like that, harsh distortion is applied to Copper Foil, result, when not reaching if Copper Foil is just damaged continuous print bends the number of bends that just can tolerate.
Therefore, in order to avoid such breakage, present inventor contemplates the idea of the stress relaxation properties improving Copper Foil.Therefore, the invention reside in, relax by reducing stress, or prevent stress from relaxing generation, thus the bendability of the interval of Copper Foil is improved, and then be the Copper Foil (comprising the Copper Foil in FPC) that the bendability of interval thus improves.In this manual, the concrete embodiment that the bendability enumerating the interval for making Copper Foil improves comes that the present invention will be described, but the present invention not limit by the concrete embodiment enumerated like this.
And then in order to avoid such breakage, present inventor contemplates the Young's modulus by reducing Copper Foil thus can reduce the idea of the STRESS VARIATION relative to deflection.Thus, if even if when there occurs stress and relaxing, the increase of stress, strain amplitude also can be suppressed.Therefore, the present invention is also, by reducing the Young's modulus of Copper Foil thus improving the bendability of interval of Copper Foil, and then is the Copper Foil (comprising the Copper Foil in FPC) of the bendability by which raises interval.About this point, in this manual, the concrete embodiment that the bendability enumerating the interval for making Copper Foil improves comes that the present invention will be described, but the present invention not limit by the concrete embodiment enumerated like this.
[stress mitigation]
It is under the condition of fixing temperature, fixing distortion that stress relaxes, in the phenomenon that the stress of metal load reduced along with the time.
It is the phenomenon produced by the movement of the dislocation in material that stress relaxes on microcosmic.The movement of such dislocation easily produces in crystal grain boundary.Therefore, the present invention makes the minimizing of the length of the crystal grain boundary of Copper Foil be used as realizing the means that stress relaxes minimizing, thus achieves the raising of the bending tolerance relative to interval.

In order to represent the length of crystal grain boundary, Fig. 3 illustrates an example of the electron micrograph of the rolling parallel sections observed.In figure 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 that almost can't see crystal grain boundary shows good interval and bends tolerance (good).Further, due to Copper Foil extremely thin, so supporting mass is connected to Copper Foil observes to obtain electron micrograph, the black part of the topmost of the cross sectional photograph on top is the gap of this supporting mass and Copper Foil, its just under white part be supporting mass.In the cross sectional photograph of the below of Fig. 3, observe many crystal grain boundaries.This sample strip being observed many crystal grain boundaries is the sample (bad) of the bending tolerance difference of interval.In the cross sectional photograph at the middle part of Fig. 3, observe moderate crystal grain boundary.This sample strip is more outstanding than the sample of the cross sectional photograph of above-mentioned bottom in the bending tolerance of interval, but poorer than the sample of the cross sectional photograph on above-mentioned top.
