Description

Extra thin copper foil with carrier and its preparing process
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of metal materials, in particular to an extra-thin copper foil with a carrier and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are important core components of products such as 5G technology, automotive electronics, consumer electronics, etc., and with the rapid development of the market, electronic products are rapidly advancing toward high integration, miniaturization, convenience and multifunctionality, and copper foil as a main material of PCBs must be thinner and thinner following the trend of the times. The ultra-fine circuit is the key of miniaturization of electronic products, and the line width and line distance are required to be lower than 50 mu m, so that the traditional circuit etching method is difficult to realize and only the latest improved semi-addition method can be used. The improved semi-additive method requires that the copper foil is an extremely thin copper foil, the thickness of the copper foil is generally not more than 5 mu m, the thinner the copper foil is, the more difficult the preparation, transportation and application of the copper foil are, and the copper foil with a carrier is produced to solve the problem. The ultra-thin copper layer is deposited on the carrier layer, the carrier layer can be some metal foil or high polymer, etc., after hot pressing and solidification on the insulating plate, the carrier layer is separated out, and the ultra-thin copper layer is left. The preparation of the intermediate stripping layer and the barrier layer has the main difficulty that after high-temperature hot pressing, the bonding force between the intermediate stripping layer and the barrier layer can not be too large or too small when the carrier layer and the ultrathin copper layer are separated, so that the carrier layer and the ultrathin copper layer are ensured to be well separated, and various problems can occur in the production and processing process of the copper-clad plate. Currently, the preparation methods of the stripping layer in the industry are mainly divided into two types, namely an electrochemical deposition method and a physical vapor deposition (Physical Vapor Deposition, PVD) method.
The physical vapor deposition technology is a preparation method for finally forming a film layer by adopting physical forms such as evaporation or sputtering and the like to convert a material source (solid or liquid) into a vapor phase substance in an atomic, molecular or ionic state under a vacuum condition so that the vapor phase substance carries energy and is deposited on the surface of a workpiece. The physical vapor deposition method is favored by virtue of the advantages of environmental protection, high precision and the like, and in the production process of the extra thin copper foil with the carrier, the stripping layer and the blocking layer are mostly prepared by adopting a simple substance or alloy mode of magnetron sputtering Ni/Mo/Co/Cr/Fe/Ti/W/Zn at present. On one hand, after the carrier layer is separated from the ultrathin copper layer, other non-copper metals remain on a separation interface, so that the yield of a downstream fine circuit preparation working section is affected; on the other hand, the introduction of non-copper metal increases the transmission loss of the electrical signal after fine line etching.
