Abstract
Description
本発明は、プリント回路板の最終表面処理後の外観及び半田付け性に優れ、しかも生産工程で好適に用いることが可能なソフトエッチング液、及びめっき方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a soft etching solution that is excellent in appearance and solderability after final surface treatment of a printed circuit board and that can be suitably used in a production process, and a plating method.
プリント配線基板において、チップを実装する基板の導体回路表面としては、外観が良好で、かつ半田付け性にも優れた状態となっていることが望まれる。このような表面状態を得る方法としては金属材料や有機材料を用いた様々な方法があり、例えば、半田レベラー法(HASL法)、耐熱プリフラックス法(OSP法)、無電解ニッケルめっき−無電解金めっき法、といった方法が挙げられる。 In the printed wiring board, it is desired that the surface of the conductor circuit of the board on which the chip is mounted has a good appearance and excellent solderability. As a method for obtaining such a surface state, there are various methods using a metal material or an organic material. For example, solder leveler method (HASL method), heat-resistant preflux method (OSP method), electroless nickel plating-electroless Examples thereof include a gold plating method.
HASL法は加熱して溶融させた半田浴中にプリント回路板を浸漬し引き上げ、余剰の半田を熱風で吹き飛ばすことにより、プリント回路部分(銅部分)を半田で覆う方法である。当該方法には、被覆される半田の厚さを均一にすることが難しいこと、パターン回路の高密度化により複雑かつスペースの微細化が進んでいるためブリッジ発生問題の多発が予想されること、鉛フリー半田を使用する場合には半田浴温度が高くなるためプリント回路板に従来以上の熱負荷がかかること、といったことが問題視されている。
OSP法は、プリント回路板の銅回路を有機膜で保護する方法である。処理が簡便である上、微細な回路パターンに対しても適用可能であるため広く普及しているが、複数回の実装工程では銅回路上に形成された有機膜が酸化してしまうため、回路外観や半田付け性を維持することが困難であることが問題視されている。今後、鉛フリー半田実装が一般化して実装温度が上昇すれば、この問題はより深刻になる可能性がある。
The HASL method is a method in which a printed circuit board (copper part) is covered with solder by immersing and lifting a printed circuit board in a solder bath heated and melted, and blowing off excess solder with hot air. In this method, it is difficult to make the thickness of the solder to be coated uniform, and it is expected that frequent occurrence of a bridge problem will occur because the pattern circuit is densified and the space is complicated and miniaturized. When lead-free solder is used, the problem is that the printed circuit board is subjected to more heat load than before because the solder bath temperature is high.
The OSP method is a method of protecting a copper circuit of a printed circuit board with an organic film. Although it is easy to process and can be applied to fine circuit patterns, it is widespread, but the organic film formed on the copper circuit is oxidized in multiple mounting processes, so the circuit It is regarded as a problem that it is difficult to maintain the appearance and solderability. In the future, if lead-free solder mounting becomes common and the mounting temperature rises, this problem may become more serious.
一方、無電解ニッケルめっき−無電解金めっき法は、上記2つの方法に比してプリント回路板に対する熱負荷が穏やかである点で優れた方法と云えるが、最終的な無電解金めっきを行なう前に予め無電解ニッケルめっきを施す工程が含まれるため処理工程が複雑で長くなる傾向となり、また、高価な薬剤が必要となる場合があるため製造工程が高コストになる傾向となる。しかも、安定して良好な無電解金めっき皮膜を実現するためには無電解ニッケルめっき−無電解金めっきの全工程について工程管理を比較的厳密に行なう必要がある点で、なお改善の余地を有する方法であった。 On the other hand, the electroless nickel plating-electroless gold plating method is an excellent method in that the thermal load on the printed circuit board is gentle compared to the above two methods. Since a process of performing electroless nickel plating before the process is included, the process is likely to be complicated and long, and an expensive chemical may be required, and the manufacturing process tends to be expensive. Moreover, in order to realize a stable and good electroless gold plating film, it is necessary to perform process control relatively strictly for all the processes of electroless nickel plating-electroless gold plating, and there is still room for improvement.

Here, when the electroless nickel plating-electroless gold plating method is adopted, a step of soft etching the printed circuit board in advance may be introduced before the electroless nickel plating step.
Such a soft etching process is performed for the purpose of removing dirt and oxide film on the surface of the printed circuit (copper) and improving the adhesion between the copper surface and the electroless nickel plating film. As the etchant, for example, a hydrogen peroxide-based etchant using phosphoric acid or a boron compound (see Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-193886), an etchant using a fluorine compound (Cited Document 2: Japanese Patent Laid-open No. Hei 9).

しかしながら、上記ソフトエッチング液にてプリント回路板をエッチング処理し、直接に無電解金めっきを行なった場合に得られるめっき皮膜については、外観や半田付け特性といった観点から十分に満足し得る皮膜であるとは云い難かった。従って、めっき法により外観が良好でかつ半田付け性にも優れたプリント回路板の表面状態を実現するためには、最終表面層となる置換めっき皮膜を形成する前に予め下地となるめっき皮膜層を形成することが必要とされていた。

However, the plating film obtained when the printed circuit board is etched with the soft etchant and directly electrolessly plated with gold is sufficiently satisfactory from the viewpoint of appearance and soldering characteristics. It was difficult to say. Therefore, in order to realize a surface state of a printed circuit board having a good appearance and excellent solderability by plating, a plating film layer as a base in advance before forming a replacement plating film as a final surface layer Was required to form.
As a method for adjusting the surface state of a printed circuit board, it has been desired to develop a technique capable of performing plating easily and at low cost when adopting a plating method which is an excellent method from the viewpoint of thermal load on the printed circuit board.
本発明は上記事情に鑑みなされたもので、銅又は銅合金表面の置換めっき前処理用のソフトエッチング液であって、置換めっき後の外観及び半田付け性に優れるソフトエッチング液、及び、当該ソフトエッチング液を用いためっき方法を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is a soft etching solution for pretreatment of replacement plating on the surface of copper or a copper alloy, the soft etching solution having excellent appearance and solderability after replacement plating, and the soft etching solution.

That is, the present invention provides the following soft etching solution and plating method.
Claim 1:

Claim 2:
The organic acid having two or more carboxyl groups is oxalic acid, malic acid, glutaric acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid, malonic acid, phthalic acid, itaconic acid, citraconic acid, citric acid, glutamic acid, and The soft etching solution according to claim 1, wherein the soft etching solution is one or more selected from the group consisting of aspartic acid.
Claim 3:

Claim 4:

Claim 5:
5. A plating method comprising: forming a displacement plating film directly after soft etching of a copper or copper alloy surface with the soft etching solution according to claim 1.
置換めっき皮膜は、素地である銅又は銅合金と金属成分が置換することにより素地表面に置換金属層が形成されるものである。本発明者は、素地である銅又は銅合金の表面状態が置換めっき皮膜形成後にもそのまま維持される傾向にある点に着目し、置換めっき皮膜表面に求められる表面状態(外観や半田付け性に優れた表面状態)を素地表面に実現させるべく検討を重ねた結果、過酸化水素又は過硫酸塩と無機酸とカルボキシル基を2個以上有する有機酸とを含む本発明のソフトエッチング液にて銅又は銅合金素地の表面を処理することにより、該素地表面を外観や半田付け性に優れた表面状態に調整することが可能であることを見出した。従って、本発明のソフトエッチング液を用いて調整した銅又は銅合金素地表面に対して置換めっき皮膜を形成すれば、外観と半田付け性に優れた置換めっき皮膜が得られることとなる。 The displacement plating film is a substrate in which a substitution metal layer is formed on the substrate surface by substitution of copper or copper alloy as a substrate with a metal component. The inventor pays attention to the fact that the surface state of the base copper or copper alloy tends to be maintained as it is after the formation of the replacement plating film, and the surface state (appearance and solderability) required for the surface of the replacement plating film. As a result of repeated studies to realize an excellent surface state) on the substrate surface, copper was obtained with the soft etching solution of the present invention containing hydrogen peroxide or persulfate, an inorganic acid, and an organic acid having two or more carboxyl groups. Alternatively, it has been found that by treating the surface of the copper alloy substrate, the substrate surface can be adjusted to a surface state excellent in appearance and solderability. Therefore, if a displacement plating film is formed on the copper or copper alloy substrate surface prepared using the soft etching solution of the present invention, a displacement plating film excellent in appearance and solderability can be obtained.
よって、本発明のソフトエッチング液を用いれば、最終的な置換めっき皮膜を形成する前に予め下地めっき皮膜層を形成しておく必要がなくなるため、従来めっき法が有していた処理工程の複雑化、高コスト化といった問題点を解決し得るめっき法が実現される。 Therefore, if the soft etching solution of the present invention is used, it is not necessary to form a base plating film layer in advance before forming the final displacement plating film, so that the complicated process steps of the conventional plating method are required. A plating method capable of solving the problems of increasing the cost and cost is realized.
なお、本発明のソフトエッチング液が銅又は銅合金素地表面を外観及びめっき特性に優れた状態に調整し得るメカニズムは定かではないが、従来のエッチング液は銅粒界面の溶解の進行が早いことから素地表面の凹凸を解消し得なかったものと考えられる。
本発明においては銅と錯体を形成しやすいジカルボン酸若しくは3つ以上カルボキシル基を有する有機化合物を用いるため、これが銅粒界面若しくは表面全体に吸着することにより、通常の溶解速度よりも銅粒界面部分の溶解速度を遅くさせる、乃至、全体的に均一に溶解させる傾向となるものと考えられる。このような作用により、表面処理後に光沢に寄与する平滑性と、半田付け性に寄与する微細な凹凸性を両立した表面を実現し得ると考えられる。
The mechanism by which the soft etching solution of the present invention can adjust the surface of the copper or copper alloy substrate to have excellent appearance and plating characteristics is not clear, but the conventional etching solution has a fast progress of dissolution at the copper grain interface. It is considered that the unevenness of the substrate surface could not be eliminated.
In the present invention, a dicarboxylic acid that easily forms a complex with copper or an organic compound having three or more carboxyl groups is used. Therefore, when this adsorbs to the copper grain interface or the entire surface, the copper grain interface part rather than the normal dissolution rate. It is considered that the dissolution rate of the solution tends to be slowed or dissolved uniformly. By such an action, it is considered that a surface having both smoothness that contributes to gloss after surface treatment and fine unevenness that contributes to solderability can be realized.
本発明のソフトエッチング液は、銅又は銅合金表面の置換めっき前処理用のソフトエッチング液であり、置換めっき後の外観及び半田付け性に優れるソフトエッチング液である。また、本発明のめっき方法は、プリント回路板の表面状態を簡便且つ低コストに調整し得るめっき方法である。 The soft etching solution of the present invention is a soft etching solution for pretreatment of substitution plating on the surface of copper or a copper alloy, and is a soft etching solution excellent in appearance and solderability after substitution plating. In addition, the plating method of the present invention is a plating method that can easily and inexpensively adjust the surface state of the printed circuit board.

このような(C)成分が本発明のソフトエッチング液に占める濃度としては、通常0.001〜1M、好ましくは0.005〜0.1Mである。(C)成分の濃度が0.001M未満であると光沢度が低下する場合があり、一方、1Mを超えると溶解しなくなる場合や不経済になる場合がある。 The concentration of such component (C) in the soft etching solution of the present invention is usually 0.001 to 1M, preferably 0.005 to 0.1M. When the concentration of the component (C) is less than 0.001M, the glossiness may be lowered. On the other hand, when it exceeds 1M, it may not be dissolved or may be uneconomical.
本発明における上記(D)成分としては、公知のメタノールやエタノール等のアルコール類、グリコール類、グリコールエーテル類やフェノール類を使用することができる。

Among them, when using one or more selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, methylpropylene diglycol, and methylpropylene glycol as the component (D), Even after the concentration of copper in the etching solution (copper in which the laminated copper foil as the substrate has been dissolved by the etching solution) has increased (after so-called “bath aging”), the etched substrate The surface appearance is good and the etching rate decrease is relatively small, which is preferable.
ここで、エッチング液中の安定剤濃度を分析する方法としてはガスクロマトグラフィー法等が挙げられるが、多くの場合特殊な機器を必要とするものであって簡便な方法とは云い難い。従って、エッチング液中の安定剤濃度が変動してもエッチング速度が大幅に変動しないという特性は、浴管理の観点からも、安定したエッチングを連続して行なう観点からも非常に重要な特性である。安定剤の多くは、エッチング液中の安定剤濃度の微細な変動がエッチング速度の大幅な変動を引き起こす傾向にある。

Here, as a method for analyzing the concentration of the stabilizer in the etching solution, a gas chromatography method and the like can be mentioned. However, in many cases, a special instrument is required and it is difficult to say that it is a simple method. Therefore, the characteristic that the etching rate does not vary greatly even when the concentration of the stabilizer in the etching solution varies is a very important characteristic from the viewpoint of bath management and from the viewpoint of performing stable etching continuously. . In many stabilizers, fine fluctuations in the concentration of the stabilizer in the etching solution tend to cause significant fluctuations in the etching rate.
When ethylene glycol monoethyl ether and / or diethylene glycol diethyl ether is used as the component (D), the contribution of the component (D) to the etching rate is relatively small, which is preferable from the viewpoint of bath management. It is also possible to strictly control the etching film thickness of the material. Strictly managing the etching film thickness leads to reliably leaving the copper substrate, and the subsequent displacement plating process can be performed satisfactorily.
エッチング液中の浴安定剤濃度が変動してもエッチング速度が大幅に変動しないという特性の指標として、より具体的な指標を示すために、35%過酸化水素水 50ml/L、62.5%硫酸 50ml/L、カルボキシル基を2個以上有する有機酸 0.02Mに対して浴安定剤を0.001M,0.005M,0.01M,0.05Mの濃度となるように配合してエッチング液を調製し、整面研磨を行なっていないFR−4銅張り積層板を処理温度30℃、処理時間2分間の条件下でエッチングした場合に、上記0.001〜0.05M濃度の中で最もエッチング量の大きかったエッチング液のエッチング量を最大エッチング量Emax(μm)とし、最もエッチング量の小さかったエッチング液のエッチング量を最小エッチング量Emin(μm)として、これらEmax値及びEmin値から溶解量変動率R(%)=100×(Emax−Emin)/Eminを定義する。本発明のソフトエッチング液の有する上記R(%)の値としては、通常20%以下、好ましくは10%以下、より好ましくは5%以下である。 In order to show a more specific index as a characteristic index that the etching rate does not vary greatly even when the bath stabilizer concentration in the etching solution varies, 35% hydrogen peroxide solution 50 ml / L, 62.5% Etching solution containing 50 ml / L of sulfuric acid and 0.02M of organic acid having 2 or more carboxyl groups, and bath stabilizer added at concentrations of 0.001M, 0.005M, 0.01M and 0.05M. When the FR-4 copper clad laminate not prepared for surface polishing is etched under the conditions of a processing temperature of 30 ° C. and a processing time of 2 minutes, the highest concentration among the above 0.001 to 0.05 M concentration the etching amount of greater were etchant etching amount and the maximum etching amount E max (μm), most minimum etching amount the etching amount of etching amount of less was etchant E min (mu ) As to define these E max value and E min dissolution amount change rate from value R (%) = 100 × ( E max -E min) / E min.

If the concentration of component (D) is less than 0.001M, the consumption of hydrogen peroxide may increase. On the other hand, if the concentration exceeds 0.1M, the effect will not change and it will be uneconomical or will not dissolve. There is a case.
本発明のソフトエッチング液には、更に必要に応じ、メタノールやエタノール等のアルコール類、EDTA、HEDTA、TETA、EDA、DETA、TEA、DEA、MEA等のアミン化合物を添加することも可能である。アミン化合物の添加は、エッチング液の銅溶解許容量向上につながり、エッチング液寿命の延長につながるため好適である。 If necessary, an alcohol compound such as methanol or ethanol, or an amine compound such as EDTA, HEDTA, TETA, EDA, DETA, TEA, DEA, or MEA can be added to the soft etching solution of the present invention.

[Examples 13 to 17, Comparative Example 6]
Under the same conditions as in Table 2 above, changes in etching rate due to changes in the concentration of glycols were examined. The results are shown in Table 3. The dissolution amount and appearance were evaluated in the same manner as in Table 2 above.
R(%)
グリコール類の濃度が0.001,0.005,0.01,0.05Mの場合を比較し、エッチング量の最大値Emax(μm)、エッチング量の最小値Emin(μm)として定義される溶解量変動率R(%)=100×(Emax−Emin)/Eminの値である。
R (%)
Comparing the case where the concentration of glycols is 0.001, 0.005, 0.01, 0.05M, it is defined as the maximum etching amount E max (μm) and the minimum etching amount E min (μm). Fluctuation amount fluctuation rate R (%) = 100 × (E max −E min ) / E min
表2,3の結果から、カルボキシル基を2つ以上有するカルボン酸と、エチレングリコールモノエチルエーテル又はジエチレングリコールジエチルエーテルとを併用する場合、浴老化によってエッチング処理後の外観が悪化したりエッチング速度が低下したりすることが少ないのみならず、グリコール類の添加濃度によるエッチング速度の変化(溶解量変動率)が他浴に比べて少ないソフトエッチング液が実現される。 From the results shown in Tables 2 and 3, when a carboxylic acid having two or more carboxyl groups and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether or diethylene glycol diethyl ether are used in combination, the appearance after the etching treatment deteriorates or the etching rate decreases due to bath aging. As a result, a soft etching solution is realized in which the change in the etching rate (dissolution rate fluctuation rate) due to the addition concentration of glycols is small compared to other baths.
