Abstract

1,154,015. Etching. PHOTO ENGRAVERS RESEARCH INSTITUTE, Inc. 22 Aug., 1966, No. 37540/66. Heading B6J. [Also in Division H1] Printed circuit components comprising a metal more noble than copper deposited on copper are etched to remove undesired copper in an etchant consisting of aqueous ferric chloride containing ethylene thiourea or substituted ethylene thiourea and a film modifier of the formula wherein W, X, Y and Z are each selected from nitraso, amino, lower alkyl substituted amino, acid radical of a lower fatty acid, hydroxy and hydrogen, at least two of W, X, Y and Z being other than hydrogen and being in ortho or para relation. Suitable substituted ethylene thiourea are those in which one or more hydrogen atoms of ethylene thiourea are replaced by an alkyl or aryl group or those in which an acyl group is joined to the sulphur atom. Examples of suitable groups are methylethylpropyl, isopropylphenol, diphenol and acetylbutyral. Suitable film modifiers are pyrogallal, 2,4- diaminophenol dihydrochloride, tannic acid, hydroquinone, p-benzoquinon, catechol, α- benzoquinone, picric acid, 2,4-dinitrophenol, 4 - amino - 2 - nitrophenol, p - phenylene - diamine, o-phenylendiamine and o-aminophenol. In examples printed circuits comprising gold and/or silver on a copper surface (the copper being laminated to a fibreglass reinforced epoxy resin sheet) are etched. Suitabley etching baths contain, per litre of bath, 200-460 grams FeCl 3 , 1-8 grams of ethylene thiourea or substituted ethylene thiourea and 0À1-10g of film modifier. The etchant may be sprayed, brushed or directed as a jet on to the printed circuit plates. Preferably, however, the solution is splashed on to the plates by a rotating paddle wheel.
