Description

Bending-resistant copper foil, preparation method thereof and FPC (flexible printed circuit) flexible circuit board
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of electronic circuits, in particular to a bending-resistant copper foil, a preparation method thereof and an FPC flexible circuit board.
Background
FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) flexible circuit board is made by copper-coating insulating films such as polyimide PI, liquid crystal polymer LCP and the like to form a flexible copper-clad plate FCCL, and then forming a circuit by copper etching and other steps to form a Printed circuit board with high reliability and excellent flexing or bending resistance.
The bending resistance refers to the ability of the FPC circuit board to maintain the circuit intact (without fracture or crack) and the resistance performance not to be improved under the environmental stress of winding, bending, folding or repeated movement, and the like, and is also considered to be the ability of the FPC circuit board to resist the mechanical stress and the bending reliability. Different electronic products have different requirements on the bending resistance of the FPC according to different purposes, the bending degree of the use environment and the like. With the development of terminal electronic devices such as smart phones, tablets, wearable devices, medical devices, and robots in recent years, FPC is required to be not only "small and thin" in a narrow space, but also to satisfy the high-strength bending reliability in a static state or a dynamic state in a narrow space (or in a smaller curvature radius).
The high bending resistance of the FPC board is mainly determined by the properties of the conductor material under specific conditions, and particularly under dynamic use conditions, the FPC board is constantly folded, bent, and stretched, which requires a conductor material resistant to bending fatigue with a long life. There are 2 kinds of copper foils, which are conductive materials currently used for FPC, namely electrolytic copper foil (ED copper) and rolled copper foil (RA copper).
The electrolytic copper foil is formed by adopting an electroplating mode, the copper crystal state of the cross section of the electrolytic copper foil is in a vertical column shape, and the fracture failure of the conductor is easily caused by the fact that the cross section grain boundary vertical direction is under the common influence of more grain boundaries existing in fine crystals in the bending stress direction and the crack is easily developed from the grain boundaries. In order to improve the bending resistance of the FPC, a rolled copper foil is generally used in the industry, the cross-section copper crystal of which is horizontal axis and is polycrystalline copper; in order to improve the folding resistance of the rolled copper foil, the prior art generally adopts hot rolling, cold rolling, recrystallization annealing process of the rolled copper foil, addition of trace elements, change of the proportion of a copper lattice structure and specific lattice orientation and other aspects for optimization and improvement, but with the development and application of terminal electronic equipment such as a 5G communication technology, a wearable device, a medical device, a robot, an automobile and the like, after the copper foil is applied to a terminal electronic FPC, macroscopic cracks are easily generated under bending stress after the copper foil is applied to the terminal electronic FPC, and the subsequent macroscopic cracks have higher expansion speed, so that an FPC circuit is broken in advance and the bending resistance requirement of the FPC is difficult to meet.

Detailed Description
In order that the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to examples, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the following examples are only illustrative of the present application and should not be taken as limiting the scope of the present application. The examples, in which specific conditions are not specified, were conducted under conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. The reagents or instruments used are not indicated by the manufacturer, and are all conventional products available commercially.
The applicant found that the domain of the conventional electrolytic copper foil and rolled copper foil is 100 × 100 μm or less, and the conventional FPC does not have the requirement of bending resistance.
In order to solve the problems, the applicant tries to apply a single crystal copper foil to the FPC instead of the existing rolled copper foil so as to hopefully improve the bending resistance of the FPC, but in the application process, the copper foil and the coil stock with the width of 250mm are found in the required 'makeup size' of the copper clad laminate FCCL for the industrialized large-scale production of the FPC; although related reports disclose a preparation process of a large-size single crystal copper foil at present, the mature, stable and large-scale preparation process of the large-size single crystal copper foil without crystal boundaries still faces a lot of difficulties, the manufacturing cost is high, the large-scale preparation of the single crystal copper foil is difficult to realize under the existing conditions, a small amount of crystal boundaries often occur locally, and the transmission to a certain circuit of an FPC causes the reduction of the bending resistance of the circuit.
Therefore, the method aims at the problems of the large-size single crystal copper foil prepared by the existing high-temperature annealing mode, and classifies and carries out related treatment on the high-temperature annealed copper foil through a specific classification mode, so that the problems are effectively avoided, the requirement of the high-temperature annealed copper foil can be met, and the use utilization rate of the high-temperature annealed copper foil is greatly improved.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the bending-resistant copper foil includes: a single crystal bending-resistant copper foil or a large domain bending-resistant copper foil.
Wherein, the single crystal bending-resistant copper foil is: no grain boundary exists in the range of 200 × 200mm to 250 × 300mm, only a single crystal domain exists, and the size of the crystal domain is not less than 200 × 200 mm.
The large-domain bending-resistant copper foil is obtained by carrying out electro-coppering and/or rolling treatment on the large-domain copper foil; wherein, the large-domain copper foil is as follows: more than one crystal domain or more than one crystal boundary exists in the range of 200-200 mm, and the number of the crystal domains in the range of 200-200 mm is less than 500. That is, the large domain copper foil is a copper foil in which a small number of grain boundaries or domains are present within a range of 200 × 200 mm.
It should be noted that the single crystal bending-resistant copper foil and the large domain copper foil can be prepared according to the relevant high temperature annealing technology, and can also be prepared by self, and the self-preparation method comprises the following steps:
placing rolled copper foil (polycrystalline copper with purity of more than 99.96%) on high temperature resistant substrate, placing into chemical vapor deposition equipment, and introducing inert gas (N)2Or Ar) and H2Heating, wherein the inert gas flow rate is 300-2The flow rate is 20-50 sccm; when the temperature rises to 800-2Gas annealing, at which time H2The flow rate was 2 to 500sccm, and a "high-temperature annealed" copper foil was obtained as a sample.
According to the prepared copper foil subjected to high-temperature annealing, an optical instrument is utilized to carry out screening classification, screening classification and post-treatment are carried out according to the maximum single crystal domain size and different crystal boundary definitions, so that the single crystal bending-resistant copper foil or the large crystal domain bending-resistant copper foil is obtained, the bending resistance of a circuit is improved as much as possible, the problem that the bending resistance of the circuit is reduced due to a small amount of crystal boundaries existing in the large-size single crystal copper foil prepared by the conventional high-temperature annealing is avoided, and meanwhile, compared with the conventional rolled copper foil, the bending resistance is effectively improved.
Specifically, in one example of the present application, the single-crystal flex-resistant copper foil has no grain boundary in the range of 200 × 200mm to 250 × 300mm, only has a single crystal domain, and the size of the crystal domain is not less than 200 × 200 mm.
The single-crystal bending-resistant copper foil does not need extra treatment and can be directly used for replacing rolled copper foil to be applied to an FPC flexible circuit board.
When the bending-resistant copper foil is applied to the FPC flexible circuit board, the bending resistance of the circuit of the FPC flexible circuit board can be effectively improved, and the service life of the FPC flexible circuit board is prolonged. The FPC flexible circuit board can be applied to narrow spaces of terminal electronic equipment such as smart phones, flat plates, wearable devices, medical devices and robots and is under environmental stress such as winding, bending, folding or repeated movement; for example, a bending-resistant FPC circuit board is required in a panel module, a camera module and an antenna module in the field of smart phones; the COF substrate comprises a COF substrate of a face screen module, an FPC circuit board made of LCP materials of an antenna module and the like.
That is, the bending-resistant FPC board includes a bending-resistant copper foil instead of the rolled copper foil, and the bending-resistant FPC board is mainly applied to COF and used as an antenna conductor of LCP.
The preparation method of the high-bending-resistance FPC circuit board can refer to the related technology and specifically comprises the following steps:
the surface of the bending-resistant copper foil is subjected to roughening and anti-oxidation treatment, and then the insulating film is coated or pressed to prepare the flexible copper clad laminate FCCL. And drilling the FCCL, and sequentially performing hole metallization, pattern transfer and circuit etching to obtain the FCCL.
Wherein the insulating film is PI, PTFE, PPE, LCP or PEEK.
The bending-resistant copper foil may be disposed on a single side or two opposite sides of the insulating film, and the specific number of layers of the bending-resistant copper foil is not limited herein.
In one example of the present application, there is provided a method for preparing a bending-resistant copper foil, including:
and carrying out post-treatment on the large-domain copper foil to obtain the large-domain bending-resistant copper foil. That is, the bending-resistant copper foil is actually a large-domain bending-resistant copper foil, and the bending resistance of the large-domain copper foil is effectively improved through a post-treatment mode.
Wherein the large-domain copper foil has more than one crystal domain or more than one crystal boundary within the range of 200 × 200mm, and the number of the crystal domains within the range of 200 × 200mm is less than 500. In this case, since the size of each domain of the large domain copper foil is much larger than that of the conventional rolled copper foil, the number of grain boundaries per unit area is small, so that the macrocracks and the propagation rate are reduced under bending stress. That is, a large domain copper foil is a copper foil having "a small number of grain boundaries or domains exist within a range of 200 × 200 mm", but is much smaller than a rolled copper foil of polycrystals. The thickness of the large-domain copper foil is 15 to 75 μm.
The post-treatment mode comprises electro-coppering treatment and/or rolling treatment, namely the large-domain bending-resistant copper foil is obtained by carrying out electro-coppering and/or rolling treatment on the large-domain copper foil. The electrolytic copper plating process and the rolling process may be performed independently or together.
In one example of the present application, when the step of performing the electro-coppering and rolling process on the large domain copper foil includes: the large-domain copper foil is firstly rolled, and then the surface of the product obtained after rolling is electroplated with copper.
In one example of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, the step of calendering process comprises: rolling the large-domain copper foil until the thickness of the large-domain copper foil is reduced by 20-50%.
Wherein the roller is pressed at 400-2000Kg/cm2Under the conditions of (1).
The rolling can be independently carried out, the independent implementation is carried out under the condition of room temperature, the rolling is used for flattening the grain boundary on the surface of the copper foil with large crystal domains after being pressed, each crystal domain is lengthened and enlarged, and the bending resistance of the copper foil is improved.
When the rolling is performed independently, the number of the large domain copper foil may be one layer, and when the number of the large domain copper foil is at least two layers, in order to ensure that the at least two layers of the large domain copper foil after the final rolling treatment can become one layer and have better bending resistance, optionally, in one example of the present application, the rolling treatment further comprises: annealing the large-domain copper foil at the temperature of 300-1000 ℃ before rolling; the method is characterized in that at least two layers of large-domain copper foils can be laminated into one layer of large-domain copper foil by utilizing the operations of annealing and rolling, the problem of layering between the copper foils is avoided, the bending resistance of the copper foils is improved, and the rolling frequency is at least one time and at least one time of rolling is carried out at the annealing temperature in the process of laminating at least two layers of large-domain copper foils into one layer of large-domain copper foil by utilizing the operations of annealing and rolling.
Optionally, the number of the large-domain copper foils is 1-5, when the number of the large-domain copper foil layers is at least two, the at least two large-domain copper foil layers are arranged in an overlapping manner and are annealed and rolled, and when the number of the large-domain copper foil layers is one, the rolling can be directly performed, so that the annealing process is saved.
In one example of the present application, the step of electroplating copper comprises: and forming an electroplated copper layer on the surface of the large-domain copper foil in an electroplating mode, wherein the thickness of the electroplated copper layer is 0.1-1 mu m.
The electroplated copper layer can be formed on the single-side surface or the double-side surface of the large-domain copper foil and can be selected according to actual requirements.
The thickness of the bending-resistant copper foil is 6-200 μm.
The large-domain copper foil and the single-crystal bend-resistant copper foil have any one of crystal orientations of Cu (111), Cu (110), Cu (211), Cu (100), Cu (346), Cu (235), Cu (236), Cu (134), Cu (543), Cu (123), and Cu (252).
The bending-resistant copper foil, the preparation method thereof and the FPC flexible circuit board of the present application are further described in detail with reference to the examples below.
In the following examples and test examples, rolled copper foils (polycrystalline copper foils having a purity of > 99.96%) were used2, the crystal domains with the size of 20-100um and the number of the crystal domains within the range of 200 x 200mm is more than 50000, the crystal domains are horizontally arranged on a high-temperature resistant substrate, the substrate is placed into chemical vapor deposition equipment, and inert gas (N) is introduced2) And H2Heating with inert gas flow rate of 300-2The flow rate is 20-50 sccm; temperature rise is controlled by a program, when the temperature rises to 800 ℃, H is introduced2Gas and H2The flow is 2-500sccm, annealing is carried out at 1100 ℃, and a large-size single crystal copper foil prepared in a high-temperature annealing mode is obtained as a sample.
