Description

  The present invention relates to a method for creating a resist pattern, a conductor pattern, and a printed wiring board by a resist direct drawing method.

  Conventionally, a photolithography method has been used as a specific example of a method for manufacturing a printed wiring board. In this photolithography method, for example, a photoresist layer made of a dry film resist or the like is formed on a copper clad laminate made of an insulating layer and a copper foil. Next, the dry film resist is photocured by irradiating the surface of the photoresist layer with ultraviolet rays through a photomask. Thereafter, using a developing solution such as an organic solvent or an alkaline aqueous solution, the dry film resist in the uncured portion is removed to form a resist pattern. Next, after removing the copper foil that is not covered with the resist pattern by etching, the printed wiring board is obtained by removing the resist pattern and forming the wiring pattern.

However, such a method for manufacturing a printed wiring board has a drawback that it takes a very long time to manufacture a photomask, and thus the time required for manufacturing the printed wiring board becomes long. In addition, since development is performed using an organic solvent, an alkaline aqueous solution, or the like, the time required for producing a printed wiring board is increased and there is a problem of waste liquid treatment.
In order to solve this problem, a method is disclosed in which a resist material is directly sprayed onto a substrate using an ink jet method to form a resist pattern to be a wiring pattern (Patent Document 1).
In this method, ink jet nozzles are easily clogged, and the viscosity of ink used is limited. In addition, since the ink is ejected as droplets from the nozzles, there is a problem in that there is a problem that the resist pattern is not stable due to the air flow or the substrate surface jumps.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 06-237063

  In the production of resist patterns, conductor patterns, and printed wiring boards using the resist direct drawing method, there are fewer restrictions on the viscosity of resist ink used compared to the ink jet method, and resist patterns with less play and defects can be formed. And a method of manufacturing a conductor pattern and a printed wiring board with few defects.

The present inventor has found that the above problems can be solved by a resist pattern forming method using a specific resist ink drawing method.
That is, the present invention
(1) A resist pattern forming method using a resist direct drawing method, wherein the resist direct drawing method uses a plotter or a dispenser.
(2) The method for forming a resist pattern according to (1), wherein a photosensitive resist ink is used.
(3) A method for forming a conductor pattern by forming a resist pattern by the method described in (1) or (2) and etching or plating a portion not covered with the resist pattern.
(4) A method for producing a printed wiring board according to the method described in (3).

According to the present invention, there is no need to create a pattern mask. There is no problem of developing waste liquid treatment, and there is no concern about deterioration of the resist pattern in the developing process.
According to the present invention, there are fewer restrictions on the viscosity of the resist ink used compared to the inkjet method. There is no disturbance of the resist pattern due to ink splashes or the influence of airflow. Therefore, a resist pattern with less backlash and defects can be formed with high reproducibility, and a conductor pattern with less backlash and defects can be formed with high reproducibility.
According to the present invention, all of the above effects can be satisfied simultaneously.

The resist direct drawing system of the present invention is a system in which a resist pattern is directly formed on a substrate without going through an exposure process and a development process through a pattern mask. The process of creating a resist pattern and a conductor pattern by the resist direct drawing method includes a resist pattern forming process, a conductor pattern forming process, and a resist pattern peeling process. The resist pattern forming process includes a drawing process and a curing process.
The drawing step is a step of applying a resist ink on a base material by discharging the resist ink from a nozzle and attaching the resist ink in accordance with a desired wiring shape. A method of drawing a resist pattern by discharging resist ink from a nozzle includes drawing with a plotter, a dispenser, and the like.

  In the curing step, the resist pattern can be cured by irradiation with visible light, ultraviolet light, or the like, that is, by exposure. Moreover, it can also harden | cure when a volatile solvent component volatilizes. Further, it can be cured by heating. It may be cured by combining exposure and heating. Such curing is mainly performed in order to increase resistance in an etching or plating process when forming a conductor later, and to form a good conductor pattern with a high yield.

In the conductor pattern forming step, the conductor pattern is formed by etching or plating the base material on which the resist pattern is formed. For the etching and plating processes, the apparatus and processes normally used in the production of printed wiring boards can be used as they are.
A resist pattern peeling process means the process of removing the resist pattern which became unnecessary, and, thereby, a conductor pattern is completed. The peeling method may be a swelling peeling method using a strong alkali or the like, a dissolution peeling method, a swelling peeling method using hot water, or a physical peeling method such as sandblasting or a peeling tape.

As an example, a direct drawing method in which a resist ink is drawn on a substrate by a plotter method to directly form a resist pattern is shown.
First, an example of a method for manufacturing a printed wiring board according to the present invention will be described. In the manufacturing method of this example, first, a copper clad laminate 1 and an ink 5 as shown in FIG. The copper clad laminate 1 is obtained by laminating a copper foil 3 on the surface of an insulating layer 2 such as a glass / epoxy resin laminate, a paper / phenol resin laminate, a polyimide film, or a polyester film. The thickness of the copper foil 3 is selected according to the use of the wiring board.

  The ink 5 is ejected from the nozzle 4. As the resist ink, for example, a solution obtained by dissolving or dispersing a wax or a thermoplastic resin in a liquid medium composed of an organic solvent, water, or the like is used. If necessary, a viscosity adjusting agent, a surface tension adjusting agent, a wetting agent, a pH adjusting agent are used. Formulations, crosslinking agents, adhesion improvers, various stabilizers, colorants, and the like are added. The ink 5 may be liquid when it is ejected from the nozzle 4. Therefore, the ink 5 may be a composition that does not include a liquid medium, is solid at room temperature, and becomes liquid when heated. Among the above-mentioned substances, the photosensitive resist ink is preferable because it can easily form a cured film having high etching resistance by irradiation with active energy rays. In particular, a photosensitive resist ink containing a thermoplastic polymer having a carboxyl group and a photocrosslinkable monomer is preferable because the cured film can be peeled off with an alkaline solution.

Next, the ink 5 is drawn from the nozzle 4 onto the copper foil 3 of the copper clad laminate 1 while being irradiated with ultraviolet rays or visible rays so as to cover the portion where the conductor pattern is formed as shown in FIG. An ink pattern 6 is formed on the substrate. The ink pattern 6 may be cured by energy other than ultraviolet rays or visible rays, for example, active energy rays such as electron beams, heat, or the like, as necessary. Next, as shown in FIG. 1C, the copper foil 3 in the portion not covered with the ink pattern 6 is removed by etching the copper clad laminate 1 on which the ink pattern 6 is formed. Etching solutions such as copper chloride, iron chloride, and ammonia are used.
Finally, the ink pattern 6 is peeled from the copper foil 3 to form a conductor pattern 7 as shown in FIG. Depending on the ink 5 used, for example, an alkaline aqueous solution such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, or an organic solvent such as methylene chloride or methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) is used for the stripping solution.

  In this method of manufacturing a printed wiring board, an ink pattern 6 is formed on a copper foil 3 of a copper clad laminate 1 by using an ink 5 with a plotter, and then a portion not covered with the ink pattern 6 is formed. After the copper foil 3 is removed by etching, the ink pattern 6 is peeled off from the copper foil 3 in the portion covered with the ink pattern 6 to form the conductor pattern 7, so that no photomask is required and an alkaline aqueous solution or Since there is no development process using an organic solvent or the like, there is no problem of developing waste liquid treatment, and there is an advantage that it is possible to greatly reduce the time required for producing a printed wiring board. In this example, the example in which the copper foil 3 is laminated on one side of the insulating layer 2 has been described. However, the same can be applied to the case where the copper foil is laminated on both sides of the insulating layer 2.

Next, the resist ink in the present invention will be described.
The resist ink in the present invention means a resist ink used in a resist direct drawing method. After the resist ink is formed on the base material, it becomes a resist pattern, which acts as an etching resist when forming a conductor pattern by etching the base material, and a plating resist when forming a conductor pattern by plating As a role. Furthermore, the resist ink can be stripped by the method described in the resist pattern stripping step after forming a conductor pattern by etching, plating, or the like.
