Description
Technical Field
The application belongs to the field of ceramic-based circuit manufacturing and micro-nano scale 3D printing, and particularly relates to a manufacturing method of a micro-nano 3D printing high-precision ceramic-based circuit based on electric field driving jet deposition, which can realize high-efficiency and low-cost manufacturing of a large-size and high-precision ceramic-based circuit board.
Background
Compared with the traditional organic circuit board and metal-based circuit board, the ceramic-based circuit board (ceramic-based circuit) has a plurality of outstanding characteristics and unique advantages, and mainly comprises: (1) Excellent heat conductivity, good temperature cycling performance and high-temperature impact resistance; (2) high insulation resistance and dielectric strength, high reliability; (3) Low dielectric coefficient, excellent high-frequency characteristics and lower dielectric loss, so that the signal delay time is effectively reduced, and the transmission efficiency is improved; (4) The thermal expansion coefficient is low, and especially, the thermal expansion coefficient is good in matching with semiconductor silicon chips, chips and the like; (5) The electronic device is little influenced by extremely harsh environments such as high air tightness, high humidity, high temperature, strong radiation, corrosion and the like; (6) The rigidity and the strength are high, and the effect of effectively supporting and protecting the circuit and the chip is good; (7) The bonding force between the circuit patterns and the ceramic substrate is strong, and the high-density wiring and the high insulation resistance are easy to realize; (8) The mechanical property is good, the warping degree is low, the hardness is high, and the scale precision is high; (9) has both excellent bond strength and electrical properties; (10) has a very low secondary electron emission coefficient; (11) is nontoxic and has good chemical stability; (12) high stability, high thermo-mechanical properties. Therefore, the ceramic-based circuit board has many excellent characteristics such as high thermal conductivity, high heat resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient, high dimensional stability, and the like, and has been widely applied in many fields such as power electronics, high-power LED package substrates, multi-chip modules (MCM), IGBT modules, high-frequency antennas, microwave wireless communication, high-temperature semiconductor packages, and the like, especially in fields such as aerospace, national defense and military, deep sea deep space, high-frequency high-speed communication, and the like.
With the recent popularization of strategic emerging industries such as 5G communication, artificial intelligence, cloud technology, unmanned operation, internet of things and the like and industrial application, high-frequency, high-speed and high-density integration has become an important development trend and direction of current electronic products, and the requirements on the performances such as dielectric constant, dielectric loss, heat resistance and corrosion resistance of a circuit substrate are increasingly high. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for ceramic-based circuit boards, and there is an increasing demand for their performance. This presents a number of new challenges for high performance ceramic-based circuit board fabrication: (1) The precision is higher, namely the line width and the line distance of the circuit are smaller, so that the requirements of high density, high integration level and miniaturization are met; (2) The interconnection density of the ceramic substrate is continuously improved, 3D integration is realized, three-dimensional manufacturing and curved surface conformal manufacturing of a ceramic circuit are realized, and the requirements of high integration level, high precision and high conductivity are met; (3) The manufacturing technology has the characteristics of lower cost, higher efficiency, simpler manufacturing process, green and environment-friendly production, and solves the serious problems of environmental pollution caused by the production of a large amount of waste liquid, waste gas, waste residues and the like generated by the traditional photoetching and etching and the like.
At present, the manufacturing technology of the industrial ceramic circuit board (ceramic surface metal imaging) mainly comprises the following steps: screen printing, direct copper plating (DPC), direct copper plating (DBC), laser activated metallization, inkjet printing of activated materials + selective electroless plating, and the like. Screen printing technology is widely applied to high temperature co-fired ceramic (HTCC) and low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC), but the precision of manufacturing thick film circuits by screen printing is low, the line width is generally larger than 60 μm, and the thickness deviation of the manufactured circuits is large due to the rough surface of the ceramic, especially for large-size substrates, the consistency is worse, and the requirements of manufacturing high-precision ceramic-based circuit boards cannot be met. Whether it is a direct copper plating process or a direct copper plating process, they generally need to deposit a layer of copper on a ceramic substrate, and then use photolithography, etching and other processes to realize metal copper patterning (manufacturing of conductive lines), while photolithography and etching processes can realize manufacturing of high-precision line (circuit), the manufacturing cost is high, the process is complex (copper plating or copper plating, photoresist spreading, photolithography, etching, photoresist removal, post-treatment and the like on the ceramic substrate), the efficiency is low, the requirements on the production conditions are high, and especially, a great deal of copper waste is caused, and a great deal of waste liquid, waste gas, waste residue and the like are generated, so that environmental pollution is serious, and future application is more and more limited, especially in the civil engineering field of wide application. In addition, the technology can only manufacture high-precision circuits on planar ceramic substrates, and cannot realize high-precision wiring and conformal ceramic circuit manufacture on three-dimensional curved surfaces and non-planar ceramic substrates, which limits the wide application of ceramic-based circuit boards in many fields such as electronic packaging and the like. The laser activation metallization technology is to scan the ceramic substrate by laser to generate active center with catalytic capability on the surface of the ceramic substrate, and then deposit high-conductivity metal wires by combining with the electroless plating technology. The process of laser modification of the ceramic substrate surface is to decompose the precursor and generate catalytic activity using the high energy of the laser beam, which is mainly induced by thermal action. During electroless plating, only the modified sites catalyze the deposition of metal particles. The width and edge quality of the modified region thus determine the fineness of the final shaped wire. In order to obtain finer metal wires, laser beams with shorter wavelengths in ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet bands or ultra-short pulse laser beams with smaller heat affected zones are adopted or parameters of an optical system are optimized to obtain smaller spot diameters, but the methods cannot fundamentally solve the problem that the heat affected zone at the edge of a laser spot is generated, and the width of a modified zone is enlarged due to the decomposition of a precursor in the heat affected zone. On the other hand, the energy distribution of the laser beam is uneven and is in axisymmetric Gaussian distribution, so that only the energy of the central area of a laser spot can reach the decomposition threshold of a precursor, the precursor near the decomposition threshold cannot be sufficiently decomposed, the edges of the metal wire formed by subsequent electroless plating are sparse and have more burrs, and the electrical property is seriously affected. In addition, the deposition of metal in the electroless plating process is an isotropic process, and the metal wires on the surface of the substrate grow laterally while thickening, which can lead to a final formed circuit width significantly greater than the laser active area width. Thus, laser activated metallization has currently been difficult to meet the manufacturing requirements of high precision ceramic-based circuits. Although the process of ink-jet printing of the activated material and selective electroless plating is simple, the precision is very poor, the line edge roughness of the conductive circuit is poor, the bonding force between the conductive circuit and the ceramic substrate is poor, the efficiency is low, and the method cannot be used for manufacturing a high-precision ceramic circuit board.
Therefore, the existing various ceramic-based circuit board manufacturing technologies cannot meet the industrial manufacturing requirements of low cost, high precision, high efficiency, green environmental protection and large-scale manufacturing of the high-precision ceramic-based circuit board, the ceramic is different from the flat surfaces of glass, PET (polyethylene terephthalate) substrates and the like, the rough surface structure is difficult to realize direct forming of conductive circuits with fine line width and good surface morphology on the surfaces of the ceramic-based circuit boards, particularly the manufacturing of high-precision conformal circuits cannot be realized on the non-flat ceramic surfaces and the three-dimensional curved ceramic surfaces, and the manufacturing of special-shaped ceramic-based circuit boards and oversized high-precision ceramic-based circuit boards is urgent to develop new technologies and new processes for manufacturing new high-precision ceramic-based circuits.

Compared with the prior art, the application has the following beneficial effects:
the application combines the ceramic substrate spreading sacrificial layer and the electric field driven jet deposition micro-nano 3D printing technology to realize the high-efficiency and low-cost manufacture of the large-size high-precision ceramic-based circuit board, and provides a subversion technical solution for the manufacture and large-scale production of the high-precision ceramic-based circuit board.
The ceramic is different from the flat surfaces of glass, PET base materials and the like, and the rough surface structure is difficult to realize that the conductive circuit with fine line width and good surface appearance is directly formed on the surface of the ceramic, so that the method provided by the application uses a sacrificial layer material to create a good printing environment, and the conductive circuit and the rough ceramic surface form strong bonding force while the sacrificial layer material is removed in the subsequent high-temperature sintering process.
(1) High precision. The application realizes the manufacture of the high-precision ceramic-based circuit, can realize the manufacture of the high-precision ceramic-based circuit with the line width smaller than 10 microns, and particularly has the potential of manufacturing the submicron high-precision ceramic-based circuit. At present, other than the photoetching and etching process, which has the process capability of manufacturing the high-precision ceramic-based circuit with the line width smaller than 10 microns, no other technology can realize the manufacturing of the high-precision ceramic-based circuit with the line width smaller than 10 microns. According to the application, high-precision ceramic-based circuit manufacturing is realized by organically combining three strategies, firstly, the flatness of the ceramic surface is improved by spreading the sacrificial layer, so that the polarized charges on the surface of the substrate are more uniformly distributed, the electric field is more stable, the printing quality, especially the consistency of a large-size substrate printed circuit, is realized, and on the other hand, the sacrificial layer is made of a hydrophobic material, so that the precision of the subsequent printed circuit can be improved. And then, using nano conductive ink, adopting electric field driven jet deposition micro-nano 3D printing to realize high-precision circuit manufacture (the electric field driven jet deposition micro-nano 3D printing has the process capability of sub-micro scale and nano scale characteristic printing), and realizing printing of micro-scale and even sub-micro scale circuits. Finally, through the high-temperature sintering process, the printed circuit contracts (the organic solvent in the conductive ink is removed), if the sacrificial layer is not coated, the conductive ink can infiltrate into the ceramic substrate in the printing process, so that the whole contraction cannot be realized in the sintering process, the contraction rate in the sintering process is only about 10%, the contraction rate coated with the sacrificial layer can at least reach more than 20%, if the whole contraction cannot be realized, the local contraction can cause breakpoint phenomenon after sintering, further the circuit after sintering is discontinuous, the conductivity of the ceramic-based circuit is seriously influenced, and even the phenomenon of non-conduction occurs. The application further improves the precision (line width) of the printed circuit, and can realize the high-precision ceramic-based circuit manufacture by the organic set of the strategies.
(2) Oversized. The application can realize the manufacture of the oversized high-precision ceramic-based circuit. The application adopts an electric field driven jet deposition micro-nano 3D printing process, has the process capability of m-level scale printing, and ensures the printing consistency of a large-size ceramic substrate circuit by combining with the height self-adaptive adjustment of a spray head and a coated sacrificial layer.
(3) And (3) printing the ceramic-based curved surface conformal circuit with high precision. The application can realize the high-precision ceramic-based circuit manufacture on the non-flat ceramic substrate and the curved ceramic substrate and combines the five-axis linkage printing technology. This is a unique technical advantage of the present application, and none of the various existing fabrication techniques can achieve printing of high precision conformal circuits on non-planar ceramic substrates, particularly on curved ceramic substrates.
(4) High production efficiency and short production flow. The existing high-precision ceramic-based circuit manufacturing method requires a plurality of process steps such as copper plating or copper plating, photoresist spreading, photoetching, etching, photoresist removal, post-treatment and the like on a ceramic substrate, and has the advantages of complex process, long period and low production efficiency. The application mainly adopts the process steps of coating the sacrificial layer, printing, sintering and the like, and has short process flow and high production efficiency.
(5) Low cost. On one hand, the traditional high-precision ceramic-based circuit manufacturing method based on photoetching is adopted, and on the other hand, more than 90% of copper is finally wasted; on the other hand, expensive photolithography equipment, sputtering equipment, etc. are required; in addition, the production conditions such as clean room, vacuum, high temperature and the like are required, the production environment is harsh, the production cost is very high, and the production cost is the greatest advantage.
(6) The printed high-precision circuit has high bonding strength with the ceramic substrate. After the conductive sintering, the sacrificial layer is removed, and the circuit is embedded into the roughened surface of the ceramic substrate to form an interlocking structure. If the printing material conductive ink contains glass powder, the glass powder and the ceramic are connected into a whole after sintering, so that the printing material conductive ink has higher connection strength.
(7) In the manufacturing process, waste liquid, waste gas, waste residue and the like are few, so that the method has little pollution to the environment and belongs to green manufacturing. The traditional high-precision ceramic-based circuit manufacturing method based on photoetching and etching can generate a large amount of waste liquid, waste gas, waste residue and the like, has serious environmental pollution and severely restricts the wide utilization of the technology.
(8) The production flexibility is high, and the method is suitable for manufacturing requirements of different batches.
(9) The application can be used for manufacturing high-precision low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC).
(10) The material utilization rate is high. The utilization rate of the material exceeds 95%, and more than 95% of the material is wasted in the existing photoetching and etching processes.
(11) By combining multi-nozzle multi-material printing, the application can realize the integrated manufacture of ceramic structures and electronics and the integrated manufacture of multi-layer ceramic circuits.
