Definitions

  • the present invention relates to compositions comprising fluorinated olefins and at least one alcohol, halocarbon, fluoroalkyl ether, hydrofluorocarbon, or alkane and combinations thereof. These compositions are azeotropic or azeotrope-like and are useful in cleaning applications as a defluxing agent and for removing oils or residues from a surface.
  • Flux residues are always present on microelectronics components assembled using rosin flux. As modern electronic circuit boards evolve toward increased circuit and component densities, thorough board cleaning after soldering becomes a critical processing step. After soldering, the flux-residues are often removed with an organic solvent. De-fluxing solvents should be non-flammable, have low toxicity and have high solvency power, so that the flux and flux-residues can be removed without damaging the substrate being cleaned. Further, other types of residue, such as oils and greases, must be effectively removed from these devices for optimal performance in use.
  • Azeotropic solvent mixtures may possess the properties needed for these de-fluxing, de-greasing applications and other cleaning agent needs. Azeotropic mixtures exhibit either a maximum or a minimum boiling point and do not fractionate on boiling. The inherent invariance of composition under boiling conditions insures that the ratios of the individual components of the mixture will not change during use and that solvency properties will remain constant as well.
  • the present invention provides azeotropic and azeotrope-like compositions useful in semiconductor chip and circuit board cleaning, defluxing, and degreasing processes.
  • the present compositions are non-flammable, and as they do not fractionate, will not produce flammable compositions during use. Additionally, the used azeotropic solvent mixtures may be re-distilled and re-used without composition change.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le composé sélectionné à partir du groupe constitué d'alcools, d'halocarbures, d'éthers de fluoroalkyle, d'hydrofluorocarbones, d'alcanes est soit du méthanol, de l'éthanol, de l'isopropanol, du n-propanol, du trans-1,2-dichloroéthylène, du cis-1,2-dichloroéthylène, du bromure de n-propyle, du C4F9OCH3, du C4F9OCaH5, du HFC-43-10mee, du HFC-365mfc, de l'heptane ou des combinaisons de ceux-ci. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, ces compositions sont utiles dans des applications de nettoyage en tant qu'agent de dégraissage ou agent de défluxage pour enlever des huiles et/ou d'autres résidus à partir d'une surface.
