Description

本発明は、銅または銅合金の表面をナノメートルのオーダーでエッチングすることのできるエッチング液およびそれを用いた銅または銅合金のエッチング方法に関する。   The present invention relates to an etching solution capable of etching the surface of copper or a copper alloy in the order of nanometers and a method for etching copper or a copper alloy using the same.

プリント基板を製造する際には、銅張積層板の不要部分の銅を薬品で溶解除去し、回路を形成する工程(エッチング工程)を行っている。また、このエッチング工程に先立ち、感光性樹脂(ドライフィルムレジスト:DFR)を銅表面に張り付け、露光、現像し、銅表面にDFRによる回路のマスクを形成している。このDFRと銅表面とが強固に密着していないと、エッチング工程時にDFRが銅表面から浮き、回路が断線し、所望の回路が得られず不良となる。そのため、DFRと銅表面とを密着させる方法として、古くはバフ研磨、ブラシ研磨、スクラブ研磨あるいはベルトサンダー研磨のような機械的研磨によって銅表面を粗化する方法が採用されていた。   When manufacturing a printed circuit board, an unnecessary portion of copper in the copper-clad laminate is dissolved and removed with a chemical to form a circuit (etching step). Prior to this etching step, a photosensitive resin (dry film resist: DFR) is attached to the copper surface, exposed and developed, and a DFR circuit mask is formed on the copper surface. If the DFR and the copper surface are not firmly adhered, the DFR floats from the copper surface during the etching process, the circuit is disconnected, and a desired circuit cannot be obtained, resulting in a failure. Therefore, as a method for bringing the DFR and the copper surface into close contact with each other, a method of roughening the copper surface by mechanical polishing such as buff polishing, brush polishing, scrub polishing or belt sander polishing has been used in the past.

しかしながら、プリント基板の高密度化、細線化、薄化が進み、特にフレキシブル回路基板に代表されるような薄物には、研磨機の構造上あるいは機械的な力を加えることによる基板の伸びによる寸法精度の低下が問題となり、機械的な研磨では対応できなくなった。そこで、機械的な研磨から薬品を使用した化学的研磨へと研磨方法が移行してきた。   However, printed circuit boards are becoming denser, thinner, and thinner, especially for thin objects such as flexible circuit boards, due to the structure of the polishing machine or the dimensions of the substrate due to mechanical force. Decrease in accuracy became a problem, and mechanical polishing could not cope. Therefore, the polishing method has shifted from mechanical polishing to chemical polishing using chemicals.

これまで化学的研磨の方法としては、例えば、特許文献1〜7に開示されているような酸と過酸化水素を含み、更に必要によりアゾール類等を含み、過酸化水素が数g〜数百g/L程度であるエッチング液が提案されている。そしてこれらのエッチング液はマイクロメートルオーダーでのエッチングを目的としている。   Conventional chemical polishing methods include, for example, acids and hydrogen peroxide as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 7, and further, if necessary, azoles and the like. An etching solution of about g / L has been proposed. These etchants are intended for etching in the micrometer order.

また、近年のセミアディティブ工法に代表されるDFRをめっきレジストとして使用する場合、下地の銅シード層は1μm以下と非常に薄いため、同箇所に上記エッチング液を用いてナノメートルオーダーのエッチングをしようとすると、エッチング速度が速いため制御がし難く、また、仮にナノメートルオーダーのエッチングができたとしても粗化も不十分であるため実用できない。そのため、現状はエッチングの代わりに酸脱脂が用いられることが殆どであり、DFRの高密着が期待できない。   In addition, when using DFR, which is typified by the recent semi-additive method, as a plating resist, the underlying copper seed layer is very thin, 1 μm or less, so use the above etching solution at the same location to perform nanometer-order etching. Then, since the etching rate is high, it is difficult to control, and even if etching on the nanometer order is possible, roughening is insufficient and thus cannot be practically used. Therefore, at present, acid degreasing is mostly used instead of etching, and high adhesion of DFR cannot be expected.

また、より近年では銅シード層と結合している絶縁樹脂層は銅回路の表皮抵抗の懸念から、表面粗さ(Ra)も300nm以下であることが要求され、それに伴い絶縁樹脂表層の粗化に関しても低減対策が要求されている。更に、絶縁樹脂層の平滑化に伴い、シード層も平滑に仕上るため、DFRとのアンカー効果も低下してしまい、密着性の確保がより一層困難となってきている。   Further, in recent years, the insulating resin layer bonded to the copper seed layer is required to have a surface roughness (Ra) of 300 nm or less due to concern about the skin resistance of the copper circuit. There is also a demand for reduction measures. Further, as the insulating resin layer is smoothed, the seed layer is also finished smoothly, so that the anchor effect with the DFR is also lowered, and it is becoming more difficult to ensure adhesion.

従って、本発明の課題は、ナノメートルオーダーでのエッチングにより、銅や銅合金を微細に粗化させ、DFR、絶縁樹脂等を強固に密着できる表面に仕上げることのできる技術を提供することである。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique capable of finely roughing copper or a copper alloy by etching on the order of nanometers and finishing it to a surface capable of firmly adhering DFR, insulating resin, and the like. .

本発明者らは、上記課題を解決するために鋭意研究した結果、意外にも過酸化水素および無機オキソ酸を含有するエッチング液において、過酸化水素の含有量を従来と比較してごく少量の範囲にすることにより、上記課題を解決できることを見出した。   As a result of diligent research to solve the above problems, the present inventors have unexpectedly found that in an etching solution containing hydrogen peroxide and an inorganic oxo acid, the content of hydrogen peroxide is very small compared to the conventional one. It has been found that the above-mentioned problems can be solved by making the range.

すなわち、本発明は過酸化水素および無機オキソ酸を含有し、過酸化水素の含有量が0.1〜1g/Lであることを特徴とする銅または銅合金用エッチング液である。   That is, the present invention is an etching solution for copper or copper alloy, which contains hydrogen peroxide and an inorganic oxo acid, and the content of hydrogen peroxide is 0.1 to 1 g / L.

また、本発明は銅または銅合金を上記銅または銅合金用エッチング液で処理することを特徴とする銅または銅合金のエッチング方法である。   The present invention is also a copper or copper alloy etching method characterized by treating copper or a copper alloy with the above-mentioned etching solution for copper or copper alloy.

本発明によれば、銅または銅合金を制御よくナノメートルオーダーで微細に粗化できるため、DFR、絶縁樹脂等を強固に密着できる表面に仕上げることができる。   According to the present invention, since copper or a copper alloy can be finely roughened in a nanometer order with good control, it is possible to finish the surface on which DFR, insulating resin, and the like can be firmly adhered.

また、本発明に用いられるエッチング液は、従来のエッチング液における過酸化水素および無機オキソ酸の使用濃度に比べ、20分の1以下の濃度で使用することができるため、廃液する際の中和廃液の負荷低減も図れ、環境配慮にも優れたエッチング液である。   Further, the etching solution used in the present invention can be used at a concentration of 1/20 or less compared to the concentration of hydrogen peroxide and inorganic oxo acid used in the conventional etching solution. It is an etching solution that can reduce the load of waste liquid and is excellent in environmental considerations.

実施例1〜8のエッチング液を用いた場合は、エッチングの速度がエッチング量の目標である100nm程度とするのに都合がよく、更に微細な凹凸形状も形成されため仕上がり状態がよく、密着性もよかった。一方、比較例1〜3のエッチング液を用いた場合では、エッチングの速度が速く100nm程度に合わせることが困難な上、微細な凹凸形状も形成されなかったため密着性もよくなかった。また、実施例2〜8のエッチング液により、エッチング液に銅イオンや塩素イオンが存在しても性能に影響がなく、更に粗化状態がよいことが分かった。   When the etching solutions of Examples 1 to 8 are used, it is convenient for the etching rate to be about 100 nm, which is the target of the etching amount, and a fine uneven shape is also formed so that the finished state is good and the adhesion is good. It was good too. On the other hand, when the etching solutions of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were used, the etching rate was high and it was difficult to adjust to about 100 nm, and the fine uneven shape was not formed, so the adhesion was not good. In addition, it was found that the etching solutions of Examples 2 to 8 did not affect the performance even when copper ions or chlorine ions were present in the etching solution, and further improved the roughening state.

Test example 2
Etching test:
The test piece was electroplated on a commercially available copper clad laminate (manufactured by Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd., trade name: MCL-E67) using a copper sulfate plating solution (manufactured by JCU Corporation, trade name: Cubelite VFII). The etching test was performed in the same manner as in Test Example 1 except that the copper film was replaced with a film having a thickness of 3 μm. Further, the finished state and adhesion were determined in the same manner as in Test Example 1. These results are shown in Table 2 together with the processing time and etching amount. Moreover, the SEM image (10,000 times) of the surface state after etching what applied the copper membrane | film | coat to the thickness of 3 micrometers on the copper clad laminated board using the etching liquid of Example 1, 2, 7 and the comparative example 1 Are shown in FIGS.

実施例1〜8のエッチング液を用いた場合は、エッチングの速度がエッチング量の目標である100nm程度とするのに都合がよく、更に微細な凹凸形状も形成されため仕上がり状態がよく、密着性もよかった。一方、比較例1〜3のエッチング液を用いた場合では、エッチングの速度が速く100nm程度に合わせることが困難な上、微細な凹凸形状も形成されなかったため密着性もよくなかった。また、実施例2〜8のエッチング液により、エッチング液に銅イオンや塩素イオンが存在しても性能に影響がなく、更に粗化状態がよいことが分かった。   When the etching solutions of Examples 1 to 8 are used, it is convenient for the etching rate to be about 100 nm, which is the target of the etching amount, and a fine uneven shape is also formed so that the finished state is good and the adhesion is good. It was good too. On the other hand, when the etching solutions of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were used, the etching rate was high and it was difficult to adjust to about 100 nm, and the fine uneven shape was not formed, so the adhesion was not good. In addition, it was found that the etching solutions of Examples 2 to 8 did not affect the performance even when copper ions or chlorine ions were present in the etching solution, and further improved the roughening state.

試 験 例 3
ピール強度の測定:
積層用樹脂の密着性の確認として、試験例2の実施例5または比較例1で使用した、エッチング処理後の硫酸銅めっき(株式会社JCU製、商品名:キューブライトVFII)基板表面に対して、市販のラミネートタイプ樹脂(味の素ファインテクノ製:ABF−GX−92)を真空ラミネート法の標準条件で積層した。積層後にピール強度を測定した(JIS:C6481に準拠)。その結果を表3に示した。
Test example 3
Peel strength measurement:
As a confirmation of the adhesion of the resin for laminating, the copper sulfate plating after the etching treatment used in Example 5 of Comparative Example 2 or Comparative Example 1 (JCU Co., Ltd., trade name: Cubelite VFII) on the substrate surface A commercially available laminate type resin (manufactured by Ajinomoto Fine Techno: ABF-GX-92) was laminated under the standard conditions of the vacuum laminating method. The peel strength was measured after lamination (according to JIS: C6481). The results are shown in Table 3.

ピール強度測定の結果、実施例5のエッチング液を用いた場合は、比較例1の従来のエッチング液を用いた場合と比較して2倍ものピール強度が得られた。これは実施例5のエッチング液により銅めっき表面に微細な凹凸が形成され、それによるアンカー効果によって密着性が向上したと考えられる。   As a result of the peel strength measurement, when the etching solution of Example 5 was used, a peel strength twice as much as that obtained when the conventional etching solution of Comparative Example 1 was used was obtained. This is considered to be because fine unevenness was formed on the surface of the copper plating by the etching solution of Example 5, and the adhesion was improved by the anchor effect.

本発明のエッチング液は、銅または銅合金をナノメートルのオーダーでエッチングすることができるので、著しい薄化が進むプリント基板の製造プロセスにおける銅または銅合金表面の微細凹凸による高密着仕上げ処理としてきわめて有用な手段である。
