Description

Method for electroless deposition of tin-nickel alloy on carrier-like plate
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of carrier-like plate surface treatment, in particular to a method for electroless deposition of tin-nickel alloy on a carrier-like plate.
Background
In order to improve solderability of the carrier-like plate, it is often necessary to surface treat it. In the surface treatment process, the traditional hot air leveling process has the problems of poor surface leveling property, difficult fine pitch processing, easy occurrence of problems in solder paste printing, easy deformation of the plate at high temperature, easy environmental pollution caused by lead and the like.
For this, the solutions proposed are tin-gold deposition process, silver deposition process, tin deposition process, nickel-palladium-gold OSP, etc.; the tin-gold deposition process and the nickel-palladium-gold OSP process have high cost and difficult control and are limited to a certain extent; the silver deposition process has the problems of short storage period, incapability of welding for many times and the like; the pure tin layer has low cost, long storage period and easy control of the process, but has the problems of easy tin whisker generation, rough surface and the like. In addition, the existing tin precipitation liquid medicine contains thiourea, the thiourea is unstable and can decompose hydrogen sulfide gas, or thiourea residues can generate hydrogen sulfide gas under the high-temperature condition of reflux, and then black tin sulfide is generated with an oxide layer on the surface of a tin layer, so that the tin surface is blackened; meanwhile, thiourea is large in attack on solder resist ink, so that the problem that the ink falls off in the tin deposition process is extremely easy to cause defective products, the defective products need to be reworked, and even the defective products are directly disposed of when the scrapped plates are serious, so that the production cost is increased.
The pure tin layer does not contain lead, and although the pollution of lead to the environment is avoided, the pure tin layer is easier to generate tin whisker; tin whisker is a single tin crystal of an elongated shape that grows from the surface of the tin layer, which is a defect formed during deposition or is squeezed out of the substrate, and not remains on the surface of the tin; tin whisker will short circuit low voltage high resistance circuits, resulting in failure of the electrical device. Therefore, most military and aerospace devices disable pure tin plating.
For this reason, various solutions have been proposed, including reflow treatment, annealing treatment, using organic coating or other metal coating, using tin and its alloy layer, etc., which are in the subsequent treatment process, and using organic coating or other metal coating increases the manufacturing process and is too costly, so that the use of tin and its alloy layer is the focus of research.
Tin and its alloy layers are used including tin cobalt alloy layers, tin silver alloy layers, tin zinc alloy layers, and the like. Among these, tin-lead alloy layers can suppress the growth of tin whiskers better than other alloy layers, but in order to prevent contamination by lead, other solutions have been sought. The tin-cobalt alloy layer has small internal stress and can inhibit the growth of tin whisker, but has poor anti-discoloration and wear resistance; the tin-silver alloy layer is bright and compact, but the effect of inhibiting the growth of tin whisker is poor; the tin-zinc alloy layer has good corrosion resistance and brightness, but the effect of inhibiting the growth of tin whisker is poor.
Therefore, research on a surface treatment method of a carrier-like plate is urgently needed, a tin alloy layer is deposited on the carrier-like plate, the tin-lead alloy layer can be replaced, the growth of tin whisker is restrained, the cost is low, the storage period is long, the process is easy to control, meanwhile, the components do not contain thiourea, and the stability is good.

As can be seen from the experimental data of examples 1-5 in Table 1, the electroless tin-nickel alloy deposition method for the carrier-like plate can deposit a bright tin-nickel alloy layer on the carrier-like plate, the thickness of the deposited tin-nickel alloy layer is 1.1-1.4 mu m, the deposition process requirements are met, and meanwhile, the tin-nickel alloy layer is compact, the grain size is moderate, the internal stress is small, and the generation of tin whiskers can be inhibited. Specifically, the microscopic schematic diagram (microscopic magnification 2000 times) of the thermal shock tin whisker test after the carrier-like plate is subjected to electroless tin-nickel alloy deposition treatment in example 1 is shown in fig. 1. The microscopic schematic diagram (microscopic magnification 2000 times) of the thermal shock tin whisker test after the similar carrier plate is subjected to electroless deposition tin-nickel alloy treatment in comparative example 1 is shown in fig. 2.
Comparative examples 1 to 3 differ from example 1 in whether or not the components contain nickel compounds; in the comparative example 1, no nickel compound is contained, so that only a pure tin layer is deposited on the carrier-like plate, the compactness of the pure tin layer is poor, and tin whisker is easy to appear after the tin whisker test; the nickel compound added in comparative examples 2-3 has higher nickel potential, slower electroless deposition rate and grain refinement, but the nickel compound added is too low, the tin-nickel alloy layer is uneven and the structure is loose; the addition of too high a nickel compound, too small a grain size, also results in easier tin whisker production.
In comparative examples 4 to 7, in the complexing agent, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate is increased, the tin-nickel alloy layer is thinned, and the compactness is enhanced, but excessive addition of dipotassium hydrogen phosphate can cause the tin-nickel alloy layer to be too thin, and the compactness is reduced; the disodium hydrogen phosphate is increased, the tin-nickel alloy layer is thinned, the crystal grains are reduced, and the compactness is enhanced, but the excessive addition of the disodium hydrogen phosphate can also cause the too thin tin-nickel alloy layer, the too small crystal grains and the compactness to be reduced. Therefore, the content of the complexing agent should not be too high, and the proportion of the complexing agent and the tin should be proper, otherwise, the tin-nickel alloy layer structure is poor, the compactness is insufficient, and the tin whisker is easier to generate.
In comparative examples 8-9, the reducing agent was used to provide electrons, if not added, which would result in no tin or nickel on the surface of the support-like plate; if the content is too high, the cost is increased, which is uneconomical.
In comparative examples 10 to 12, the brightening agent was used to brighten the surface of the tin-nickel alloy layer and at the same time, in cooperation with the wetting agent, to shift the heavy tin peak to the right, the horizontal growth rate of the crystal nuclei was greater than the vertical growth rate, and the generation of tin whiskers was suppressed to some extent. The horizontal growth speed of the crystal nucleus is lower than the vertical growth speed because no brightening agent is added or the brightening agent content is too low, so that the tin-nickel alloy layer is loose and tin whisker is easy to generate; and the added brightening agent is too much in content, so that the tin-nickel alloy layer is brittle and loose, and tin whisker is easy to generate.
In comparative example 13, too much stabilizer was added, which would make the crystal grains too small, resulting in easy generation of tin whisker.
In summary, the invention provides a method for electroless deposition of tin-nickel alloy on a carrier-like plate, which can achieve the effect of depositing tin-nickel alloy on a copper base by only a pre-soaking section and a depositing section, and has excellent deposition effect; the deposited tin-nickel alloy has moderate thickness, compact structure, proper grain size, small internal stress, slow tin whisker growth, good inhibition of tin whisker growth, bright, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant and the like, and simultaneously, the thickness of the tin-nickel alloy deposited on the carrier plate is enough to enable the tin-nickel alloy to be subjected to multiple reflux treatment, the probability of tin whisker growth can be further reduced by the reflux treatment, and the tin-nickel alloy has the characteristics of bright, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and the like after the treatment. The method can reduce cost and is suitable for mass production.
