Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a metal microstructure by a LIGA type technology.
  • the invention relates to such a method for producing such a microstructure having a core made of a first metal at least partially coated with a particularly functional layer, a second metal and the geometric dimensions of which are defined accurately. directly by the process.
  • the invention also relates to such a metal part obtained by this method.
  • the LIGA technique consists of depositing on a conductive substrate or coated with a conductive layer, a layer of a photosensitive resin, to be carried out through a mask corresponding to the contour of the desired microstructure X irradiation by means of a synchrotron; to develop, that is to say to remove by physical or chemical means the portions of the non-irradiated photoresist layer to define a mold having the contour of the microstructure, to galvanically deposit a metal typically nickel in the mold in photosensitive resin then to eliminate the mold to release the microstructure.
  • microstructures obtained according to the processes of the prior art are metal microstructures made of a single metal, generally nickel, nickel-phosphorus copper, which is not always optimal depending on the application for which they are intended. Indeed, there are in particular applications for which one or the other of these materials does not have optimum properties from the mechanical point of view than tribological.
  • a toothed wheel must be rigid enough to withstand breaking under strong stress but must also have teeth with a low coefficient of friction to facilitate meshing.
  • the choice of nickel is therefore very interesting from the point of view of its mechanical strength, on the other hand nickel has tribological properties less interesting since it has a relatively high coefficient of friction.
  • the present invention also aims to provide such a method that is simple and inexpensive to implement.
  • This method therefore makes it possible to produce finished parts having a core made of a first metal coated with a layer of a second metal and whose desired geometric size precision is defined by the dimensions of the photosensitive resin mold in which the galvanic deposits of the two metals take place, ie in other words by the precision of the photolithography technique used.
  • a judicious choice of the two metals forming the microstructure makes it possible to better adapt the mechanical properties of the part to a given application.
  • the first metal may be deposited in the form of a thin layer, typically a nickel-phosphorus layer a few tens of micrometers in order to promote a lowering of the friction coefficient of the part and the second metal may be deposited in the form of a block typically nickel, the latter giving the piece the mechanical strength to the piece.
  • the first and second metals have different mechanical properties in order to form a microstructure whose mechanical properties are optimized.
  • the first metal has a lower coefficient of friction than the second metal, and the second metal has a higher mechanical strength than the first metal.
  • the first metal is for example a nickel-phosphorus alloy and the second metal is, for example, nickel.
  • said conductive surface of the substrate is formed of a stack of layers of chromium and gold and said conductive surface of the photoresist layer is formed by activation of said resin.
  • This method makes it possible to produce several micromechanical structures on the same substrate.
  • the method further comprises, before step h) a step of depositing a conducting conductive layer and a repetition of steps b) to g) with a second mask defining a second contour for a second level of the microstructure, for example for producing a gear having two teeth of different diameters.
  • the method of the invention finds a particularly advantageous application for the manufacture of micromechanical parts of watch movements.
  • the parts may be selected from the group consisting of gear wheels, escape wheels, anchors, pivoted parts, jumper springs, spirals, cams, and passive parts.
  • the substrate 1 used in step a) of the process according to the invention is, for example, formed by a wafer of silicon, glass or ceramic to which a conductive layer has been deposited by evaporation. that is to say a layer able to start an electroforming reaction.
  • the initiating conductive layer is formed of a sub-layer of chromium 2 and a layer of gold 3 ( figure 1 ).
  • the substrate 1 may consist of stainless steel or another metal capable of starting the electroforming reaction. In the case of a stainless steel substrate, the latter will be degreased before use.
  • the photosensitive resin 4 used in step b) of the process according to the invention is preferably an octofunctional epoxy-based resin available from Shell Chemical under the reference SU-8 and a photoinitiator chosen from triarylsulfonium such as those described in the patent US 4,058,401 .
  • This resin is likely to be photo-polymerized under the action of UV radiation. It will be appreciated that a solvent which has been found suitable for this resin is gammabutyrolactone (GBL).
  • GBL gammabutyrolactone
  • a novolac-type phenolformaldehyde-based resin in the presence of a DNQ (DiazoNaphthoquinone) photoinitiator may also be used.
  • the resin 4 is deposited on the substrate 1 by any suitable means, typically by spinning, to the desired thickness. Typically, the resin thickness is between 150 m ⁇ and 1 mm. Depending on the desired thickness and the deposition technique used the resin 4 will be deposited in one or more times.
  • the resin 4 is then heated between 90 and 95 ° C for a time dependent on the deposited thickness to remove the solvent.
  • step c) illustrated in figure 3 consists in irradiating the resin layer 4 by means of UV radiation through a mask defining the contour of the desired microstructure M and thus the insolated zones 4a and non-insolated zones 4b.
  • this UV irradiation is 200 to 1'000 mJ.cm -2 , measured at a wavelength of 365 nm depending on the thickness of the layer.
  • a step of annealing the layer may be necessary to complete the photopolymerization induced by the UV irradiation. This annealing step is preferably carried out at 90 ° C to 95 ° C for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • the insolated areas 4a (photopolymerized) become insensitive to a large majority of solvents.
  • non-insolated zones may subsequently be dissolved by a solvent.
  • the next step d) illustrated in figure 4 consists in developing the non-insolated zones 4b of the photosensitive resin layer in order to reveal, in places, the conductive layer 3 of the substrate 1. This operation is carried out by dissolving the non-insolated zones 4b using a solvent chosen from GBL (gammabutyrolactone) ) and PGMEA (propylene glycol methyl ethyl acetate). An insolated photosensitive resin mold 4a having the contours of a metal structure is thus produced.
  • GBL gammabutyrolactone
  • PGMEA propylene glycol methyl ethyl acetate
  • the following step e) illustrated in figure 5 is to deposit galvanically and uniformly on the mold a layer 5 of a first metal from said conductive layer 3 ensuring that the first layer extends only over a portion of the mold depth and also extends along the vertical walls of the mold.
  • the resin layer 4 forming the mold has been activated in order to make it conductive or has been coated with a conductive primer layer.
  • the thickness of the layer 5 of this first metal corresponds to the thickness of the lining of the microstructure that it is desired to obtain, typically the thickness of this layer may be between a few microns and a few tens of microns.
  • step f) illustrated in figure 6 is to deposit galvanically in the mold coated with the layer 5, a layer 6 of a second metal different from the first to form a block substantially reaching the upper surface of the photoresist 4a, the block being formed of the layer 5 of the first metal and layer 6 of the second metal.
  • metal in this context are of course included metal alloys.
  • the first and second metals will be selected from the group consisting of nickel, copper, gold or silver, and, as an alloy, gold-copper, nickel-cobalt, nickel-iron, and nickel-phosphorus.
  • the thickness of the layer 6 of the second metal may vary depending on the use of the desired microstructure M. Typically, the thickness of the layer 6 of the second metal may vary between 100 microns to 1 mm. In a particular application such as a cam or a pinion, it will be possible, for example, to make a microstructure comprising a layer 5 having good tribological qualities typically made of nickel-phosphorus, and a layer 6 of a second mechanically resistant metal, typically nickel.
  • the electroforming conditions in particular the composition of the baths, the geometry of the system, the voltages and current densities, are chosen for each metal or alloy to be electrodeposited according to the techniques well known in the art of electroforming (cf. example Di Bari GA "electroforming” written Electroplating Engineering Handbook 4th Edition by LJ Durney, published by Van Nostrand Reinhold Company Inc., NY USA 1984 ).
  • a subsequent step (g), illustrated in figure 7 the electroformed block is leveled with the resin layer.
  • This step can be done by abrasion and polishing in order to directly obtain microstructures having a flat upper surface having in particular a surface state compatible with the requirements of the watch industry for the production of high-end movement.
  • step h), illustrated in figure 8 consists in delaminating the resin layer and the electrodeposited block from the substrate. Once this delamination operation has been carried out, the photosensitive resin layer is removed from the delaminated structure in order to release the microstructure M thus formed.
  • the photopolymerized resin is dissolved in a step i) by N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or this resin is removed by plasma etching.
  • NMP N-methylpyrrolidone
  • the microstructure M thus released can either be used directly or, if appropriate, after appropriate machining. It is understood that thanks to the geometric precision of the resin mold 4, the microstructure M, illustrated in FIG. figure 8 , comprises a core formed from the layer 6 of the second metal and a very precise liner formed from the layer 5 of the first metal. Thus, as illustrated in figure 8 it is possible to obtain a microstructure whose outer, inner and lower walls are coated with the layer 5 of the first metal.
  • these walls can advantageously serve as a contact surface in the applications mentioned above such as a cam or a pinion.
