Description
SPECIFICATION
Laminated circuit material
This invention relates to the field of laminar sheet material. More particularly, this invention relates to the field of laminar circuit sheet material comprised of a fluoropolymer/glass composite layer sandwiched between a fluoropolymer coated polyimide film and a copper foil.
Conventional flexible circuitry comprised of polyimide film such as DuPont's Kapton film adhesively bonded to thin metal foil, usually copper, is well known to those skilled in the art. Typically, a conductor pattern is printed on the copper with an etch resistant coating, the unnecessary copper subsequently being etched away. While finding great application, this conventional flex circuitry suffers from certain drawbacks and deficiencies. For example, substrate materials having lower dielectric constants will offer less interference to electronic signal traveling through the conductors especially at high frequency. The dielectric constant of conventionally used polyimide substrate film such as Kapton, is typically 3.5 (dielectric constant of Kapton is dependent on humidity).With the increasing use of high speed signals, the relatively high dielectric constant of polyimide substrates create undesirable effects. Consequently, a substrate material having a lower dielectric constant, i.e., less than 3.0, would be highly desirable from at least the standpoint of offering less resistance to electronic signals.
Another common problem with polyimide based flex circuitry is found in the necessary adhesive associated therewith. Adhesives between the polyimide film and copper conductors may be adversely affected by high temperature.
One way of overcoming the above discussed resistance problem is to shield the polyimide film with a material having a relatively lower dielectric constant and which does not need an adhesive bond such as a fluoropolymer. In fact, laminar structures of polyimide and fluorocarbon polymers have been described in
U.S. Patent Nos. 3,676,566 et 3,770,566. Commercially, polyimide/fluoropolymer laminates are well known and available from the E. I. duPont de Nemours and Company under the trademarks Kapton F and Kapton
XP.
Unfortunately, while fluoropolymer coated polyimides (such as Kapton F or Kapton XP) provide an improved, i.e., lower, dielectric constant than conventional polyimide (Kapton) film, other serious problems associated with fluoropolymers are presented. The two most important problems involve poor dimensional stability of the fluoropolymer and poor adhesion or bond strength between the copper conductors and the fluoropolymer film.
In accordance with the present invention, a novel layer of microglass reinforced fluoropolymer is sandwiched between a fluoropolymer coated polyimide laminate, i.e., Kapton F or Kapton XP, and a copper conductive pattern. In essence, the fluoropolymerlmicroglass film of the present invention acts as a bonding layer or adhesive which greatly improves the bond strength between, for example, the Kapton F or XP and the etched copper conductors.
Moreover, use of microglass reinforced fluoropolymer film not only improves the bond between, for example, Kapton F or XP and copper foil, but also, and just as significantly, improves the overall dimensional stability of the laminate. This improved dimensional stability is of particular importance, since, as mentioned, fluoropolymers (and even polyimide) sufferfrom poor and at times, unacceptable dimensional stability.
Furthermore, the microglass reinforced fluoropolymer bonding layer also provides improved temperature characteristics to the laminated circuit sheet of the present invention.
Thus, the laminate of the present invention results in a lower dielectric constant relative to conventional polyimide (Kapton) film based flexible circuit material. Also, the dimensional stability and bond strength to copper foil in the laminate of the instant invention are improved relative to fluoropolymer coated polyimides such as Kapton F or XP.
The above discussed and other advantages of the present invention will be apparent to and understood by those skilled in the art from the following detailed description and drawings.
Referring now to the drawings, wherein like elements are numbered alike in the several Figures:

Figure 10 is another graphical representation showing the dimensional stability of laminates in accordance with the present invention.
Referring first to Figures 1 and 2, two examples of prior art laminar circuit sheet material are shown. In
Figure 1, a conventional flexible circuit sheet is shown having a substrate or base layer 10 comprised of a polyimide film 11 such as Kapton film bonded by a generally acrylic or epoxy adhesive 12 to a copper conductor 14. As already mentioned, conventional flex circuitry is associated with certain problems and deficiencies. One such problem is the relatively high dielectric constant of the Kapton film, i.e., typically 3.5 and of the adhesive layer. It is well known that lowering the dielectric constant of the circuit substrate material will result in less interference of the base material with the electronic signals passing through the copper conductors at high frequency.It would be advantageous therefore, to improve conventional flex circuitry such as shown in Figure 1 by lowering the dielectric constant of the substrate material.
Another problem associated with the flex circuitry of Figure 1 is the adhesive layer 12. Adhesive materials in the circuit laminate may be adversely affected by high temperatures.
One attempt at overcoming the deficiencies of the circuit laminate of Figure 1 is shown by the fluorocarbon containing circuit laminate of Figure 2. In Figure 2, a copper conductor 16 is positioned on a substrate material 18 comprised of a polyimide film 20 such as Kapton having a layer of fluorocarbon film 22 thereon.
Substrate layer 18 is a well known material commercially available as KAPTON F (KF) or KAPTON XP (KXP) manufactured by the E. I. duPont De Nemours & Co. KAPTON F is comprised of a KAPTON polyimide film
Type H coated on one or two sides with TEFLON FEP fluorocarbon resin. Kapton XP is comprised of a Kapton polyimide film Type H coated on one or two sides with TEFLON PFA fluorocarbon resin. Fluorocarbon polymers have a relatively low dielectric constant, i.e., less than 2.5 and high temperature characteristics.
Accordingly, substrate material 18 will exhibit improved dielectric characteristics, i.e., a lower dielectric constant relative to other conventional substrates such as substrate material 10 in Figure 1. Moreover, substrate 18 does not necessitate an intermediate adhesive layer and the problems associated therewith as the thermoplastic fluorocarbon polymer acts as its own adhesive material.
However, while providing some improved characteristics over the Figure 1 prior art, the fluorocarbon/ polyimide substrate 18 of Figure 2 suffers from certain other important deficiencies. For example, while the fluorocarbon polymer 22 imparts improved dielectric characteristics and obviates the need for adhesive, it is well known that fluorocarbon polymeric materials exhibit extremely poor dimensional stability and relatively poor bond strength (i.e., peel strength) to copper. Obviously, these negative features of fluorocarbons are imparted to substrate 18. Even the composite dielectric materials of Kapton and fluorocarbon such as Kapton
F and Kapton XP suffer from poor dimensional stability and poor bonding to copper conductors.
The novel laminar circuit sheet material in accordance with the present invention overcomes the problem associated with the prior art circuit material in Figures 1 and 2 by providing a novel glass reinforced fluorocarbon layer between, for example, the substrate material 18 and the copper conductor 16 in Figure 2.
This glass reinforced fluorocarbon polymer functions to improve the circuit material of Figure 2 in at least two respects. First, the additive layer acts as an adhesive and greatly improves the bond strength between the copper and teflon coated Kapton. Second, dimensional stability of the laminate is dramatically improved, while retaining the improved electrical properties.
Referring now to Figure 3, one embodiment of the present invention is shown. In accordance with the present invention, substrate 26 is comprised of a polyimide film 28 sandwiched between two layers of polyfluorocarbon film 30 and 31, film 30, in turn, having a layer of microglass reinforced fluorocarbon polymer 32 thereon. Finally, copper conductor 34, is laminated to the novel microglass fluoropolymer layer 32. It will be appreciated that polyimide film 28 and polyfluorocarbon layer 30 is analogous to the substrate 18 (Kapton F or Kapton XP) of Figure 2. It will also be appreciated that polyfluorocarbon film 31 is an optional layer and may not be necessary for many constructions and applications.
Figures 4-7 and 4A-7A are alternative embodiments of other laminar circuit sheet materials in accordance with the present invention. It should be understood that all of these embodiments have in common the basic substrate layer 26 of Figure 3. The embodiment of Figure 4 is similar to Figure 3, except for the added metal conductive layer 36 separated by polyfluorocarbon layer 31. This configuration is known in the art as a microstrip without coverfilm. It will be appreciated that the novel microglass reinforced polyfluorocarbon layer 32 will be equally effective in improving bonding and dimensional stability if provided between conductive layer 36 and polyfluorocarbon layer 31. Accordingly, in Figure 4A, adhesive layer 32' has been added between laminate sheets 31 and 36.
In Figure 5, the flex circuit of Figure 3 is provided with an identical laminated structure 26' sandwiching the copper conductor 34 therebetween. The flex circuit of Figure 5 is a "non shielded" laminate construction with a cover film. Figures 6 and 6A are microstrip configurations similar to Figure 4, but including the coverfilm layer 26' of Figure 5. Thus, a conductive layer 36' has been added to the lower surface of fluorocarbon polymer layer 31. As in Figure 4A, an additional layer of glass reinforced fluorocarbon 32' is preferably provided between layers 31 and 36 as shown in Figure 6A.
Finally, in Figures 7 and 7A, an additional copper or other metal sheet 36' has been added to the microstrip laminate of Figure 6 to form a well known stripline configuration. Both microstrip and stripline laminate configurations find great use in applications which require high electronic signal speed and preferably substrates having low dielectric constants. Accordingly, the circuit laminate of the present invention is extremely well suited for electronic devices using high speed signals and for microwave applications.
Examples
All of the laminate examples used herein were prepared in accordance with the following lamination procedure:
(1) Copper and substrate materials were stacked up in the desired configuration or package. The base polyimide/fluoropolymer substrate consisted of either the prebonded, commercially available Kapton X or
Kapton XP or alternatively, separate layers of polyimide film, i.e., Kapton and fluoropolymer film, i.e.,
TEFLON, PFA, TEFLON FEP, PTFE, etc. stacked together and laminated under high temperature and pressure.
Steel caul plates were used between panels to insure smooth surfaces on the panels and even distribution of pressure.
(2) The package of material was then placed in a press, brought up to laminating pressure (1380-2400 KPa) and heated to laminating temperature (280DC-3870C). The laminating temperature and pressure were maintained for the desired soak time, i.e., about 20 minutes, and thereafter cooled (while still under pressure) to below about 150 C.
Bond strength
In the following examples A-L, the bond or peel strength between the copper foil conductors and the flex circuitry of the present invention were measured for a variety of laminate materials. The experiments were conducted in accordance with the Institute for Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic Circuits (IPC) Test
Method No.2.4.9, Revision A, dated December 1982, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Referring to Table 1 and Figure 8, the peel strength results for both cut and etched (see noted IPC test method) laminates clearly reveal the improved bonding which the glass reinforced fluoropolymer layer imparts to the laminate material relative to the control Kapton F and Kapton XP laminates. The peel strength and hence, the bond between the copper foil and the KF or KXP is dramatically improved relative to the control group (Examples A and B) of copper directly bonded to KF and KXP. Thus, Examples l-L have peel strengths ranging from about 1.46 kg/cm width to about 1.82 kg/cm width as opposed to values of 0.46 and 0.71 kg/cm width for the control Examples A and B (Kapton F and Kapton XP).
The novel adhesive layer used in accordance with the present invention thus far has shown excellent results with three types of microglass reinforced fluoropolymer including polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), fluorinated ethylene-propylene copolymer (Teflon FEP) and Teflon PFA, a copolymer having a tetrafluoroethylene backbone with a fully fluorinated alkoxy side chain. The microglass is preferably of the type produced by Johns-Manville Corporation of Denver, Colorado.
Preferably, 20 weight percent microglass should be used in connection with the fluoropolymer layer, although 4-30 weight percent have also resulted in improved bonding. It will be appreciated that higher amounts of glass will reduce the overall flexibility of the circuit laminate. In order to maintain requisite flexibility, the thickness of each layer in the laminate should be minimized. Examples of preferred thicknesses for the base laminate 26 of Figure 3 is between about 0.025 mm to about 0.25 mm.
It is interesting to note that in some cases (i.e., Examples E, G and H), an extra layer of fluoropolymer like
PTFE or PFA without any glass reinforcement improves the peel strength of the KF and KXP to copper.
Dimensional stability
In Examples A-L, the dimensional stability of fluoropolymeripolyimide laminates in accordance with the present invention were compared to a variety of other prior art laminate materials. The examples were conducted in accordance with the IPC Test Method No. 2.2.4, Revision A, dated December, 1982, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Referring to Table II and Figures 9 and 10, the results therein show dramatic improvements of the present invention for both total shrinkage and shrinkage (see noted IPC test method) on etch (in the machine and transverse dimensions) as compared to the control group (Example A- KF or Example B - KXP) and the nonglass reinforced fluoropolymer laminates (Examples G-H). Thus, the averge dimensional changes for laminates of the present invention is between -0.022% to -0.131% on etch in the machine dimension (MD) as compared to about 0.370% and -0.573% for the KF and KXP, respectively.
Interestingly enough, unlike the results of the peel strength examples, merely using PTFE, FEP or PEA film without glass reinforcement does not provide any improvement over the prior art and, in fact, causes even greater shrinkage.
It should be understood that the novel glass reinforced polyfluorocarbon laminate of the present invention does not adversely affect temperature characteristics. For example, laminates using Kapton XP as a base material and a glass reinforced fluoropolymer layer of PTFE passed a 2880C solder float resistance test in accordance with IPC Test Method No.2.4.13, Revision C, dated December 1982, and incorporated herein by reference.
While the inventor has no conclusive theoretical analysis for the dramatic improvements of the present invention, it is postulated that the short fibers in the reinforced fluorocarbon composite improve the bond strength between the dielectric film and the copper foil via a mechanical interlock. It should be understood that the above is only a postulation and the inventor will not be held to this theory.
In summary, the glass reinforced fluoropolymer layer of the present invention laminated with a fluoropolymer coated polyimide such as Kapton F or Kapton XP will provide dramatic improvements and features over both prior art circuit laminates shown in Figures 1 and 2. Thus, when compared to the polyimide/adhesive/copper laminate (adhesives as related here are conventional commercially available adhesive which generally are acrylics or exposies) of Figure 1, the laminate of the present invention provides:
(1) a lower dielectric constant;
(2) as good or better peel strength between the copper and polyimide substrate;
(3) as good or better dimensional stability; and;
(4) as good or better temperature characteristics.
Moreover, when compared to the polyimide/fluoropolymer/copper laminate of Figure 2, the laminate of the present invention provides:
(1) greatly improved bond or peel strength between the copper and fluoropolymer;
(2) greatly improved dimensional stability; and
(3) as good or better temperature characteristics.
