Abstract
Description
本発明は、基材背面レーザ光照射による金属粉末低温融解に基くパターン配線回路形成方法とその形成された構造物に関する。さらに詳しくは、本発明は、高融点金属粉末と低融点金属粉末の混合粉を含有する形成材料を用い、基材背面レーザ光照射により低融点金属を低温融解させパターン配線回路を形成する方法、及びその形成された構造物に関する。 The present invention relates to a pattern wiring circuit forming method based on low-temperature melting of metal powder by irradiation of a substrate backside laser beam and a structure formed therewith. More specifically, the present invention uses a forming material containing a mixed powder of a high melting point metal powder and a low melting point metal powder, and forms a pattern wiring circuit by melting the low melting point metal at a low temperature by irradiation with a laser beam on the back of the substrate. And the formed structure.
従来、製品を造形するコンテナに粉末をリコータにより均一に敷き、次にＣＡＤデータに基づきガルバノメーターミラーを通してレーザを照射し、照射部分のみを固化し、この操作を繰り返して積層し三次元製品を作製するレーザ積層造形法が開発されている。レーザ積層造形法では、樹脂粉末、金属粉末、セラミックス粉末、及び複合材料粉末を用い選択的に焼結し造形するものである。これによれば、切削法などの他の加工法では不可能な三次元複雑形状品を迅速、低コストで作製できるとされている。 Conventionally, the powder is evenly spread on the container for modeling the product with a recoater, then the laser is irradiated through the galvanometer mirror based on the CAD data, only the irradiated part is solidified, and this operation is repeated to produce a three-dimensional product. Laser additive manufacturing methods have been developed. In the laser additive manufacturing method, resin powder, metal powder, ceramic powder, and composite material powder are selectively sintered and formed. According to this, it is said that a three-dimensional complex shape product that cannot be obtained by other processing methods such as a cutting method can be manufactured quickly and at low cost.
なかでも、金属粉末を用いレーザ光照射による電気回路形成方法として、絶縁基板上に散布堆積した金属粉末をレーザ光の照射により溶融付着させて、主に強電分野において利用する大電流を扱う電気回路を焼成生成して形成する方法(特許文献１)が提案されている。しかし、高出力レーザにより直接金属溶融を促して電気回路を作製する方法であり、高出力レーザが必要となり、作製時間、費用がかかるという問題がある。 In particular, as an electrical circuit formation method using metal powder by laser light irradiation, an electric circuit that handles a large current mainly used in the field of high power by melting and adhering metal powder spread and deposited on an insulating substrate by laser light irradiation. There has been proposed a method (Patent Document 1) for forming by baking. However, this is a method for producing an electric circuit by directly promoting metal melting with a high-power laser, and there is a problem that a high-power laser is required, which requires production time and cost.
また、金属パターン形成法として、金属微粒子と有機溶媒の混合物からなるペースト材料を用い、絶縁性樹脂の表面に金属微粒子層を形成し、金属微粒子層の表面の所望領域にレーザを照射して、該所望領域にある金属微粒子層を溶融し、レーザの照射により溶融しなかった金属微粒子層を除去することからなる絶縁性樹脂表面に配線を選択的に形成する方法（特許文献２）が提案されている。この方法では、従来の配線金属パターンの形成法であるリフト・オフ法によるよりも配線金属層の不溶部分の無駄が防止され配線形成が簡略化できるが、ペースト材料を用いるので、金属微粒子層の形成に塗布、乾燥工程が必要であり、工程数が多く、かつ作製時間、コストがかかるという問題がある。 Further, as a metal pattern forming method, a paste material composed of a mixture of metal fine particles and an organic solvent is used, a metal fine particle layer is formed on the surface of the insulating resin, and a desired region on the surface of the metal fine particle layer is irradiated with a laser, A method of selectively forming wiring on the surface of an insulating resin comprising melting a metal fine particle layer in the desired region and removing the metal fine particle layer not melted by laser irradiation has been proposed (Patent Document 2). ing. In this method, the insoluble portion of the wiring metal layer can be prevented from being wasted and the wiring formation can be simplified as compared with the conventional method of forming the wiring metal pattern, but the formation of the metal fine particle layer can be simplified. There are problems that a coating and drying process is required for formation, the number of processes is large, and production time and cost are high.
導電パターンの形成方法として、下地層、及び２０℃における比抵抗が２０μΩ・ｃｍ以下である金属または複合金属からなり、かつ平均粒子サイズが１〜１００ｎｍであるコロイド粒子を含有する微粒子層を有する導電パターン描画用基板にレーザ光を照射する工程からなる形成方法（特許文献３）が提案されている。この方法では、コロイド粒子を準備しこれを含有する微粒子層を基板に形成するのに、作製時間を要するなどの問題がある。 As a method for forming a conductive pattern, a conductive layer having a base layer and a fine particle layer containing colloidal particles made of a metal or a composite metal having a specific resistance at 20 ° C. of 20 μΩ · cm or less and an average particle size of 1 to 100 nm. A forming method (Patent Document 3) comprising a step of irradiating a pattern drawing substrate with laser light has been proposed. In this method, there is a problem that preparation time is required for preparing colloidal particles and forming a fine particle layer containing them on a substrate.
以上のとおり、従来のレーザを用いたパターン配線回路形成方法では、金属微粒子と有機溶媒の混合物からなるペースト材料を原料として用いる必要があったり、コロイド粒子を用いたり、又金属粉をレーザ融解し、細線を形成するためには、レーザ焦点距離を一定にして走査する都合上、表面が平らで均質な金属粉層を作製する必要があった。さらに、表面接着性をよくするために、底部まで十分に融解できるよう金属粉層を薄くする必要があったり、高出力レーザが必要であったり、作製時間、コストがかかるという問題があった。 As described above, in the conventional pattern wiring circuit forming method using a laser, it is necessary to use a paste material composed of a mixture of metal fine particles and an organic solvent as a raw material, colloidal particles, or laser melting of metal powder. In order to form a thin line, it was necessary to produce a uniform metal powder layer with a flat surface for the convenience of scanning with a constant laser focal length. Furthermore, in order to improve surface adhesion, there is a problem that it is necessary to make the metal powder layer thin so that it can be sufficiently melted to the bottom, a high-power laser is required, production time and cost are high.

It refers to a method of forming a pattern wiring circuit on a base material by making it conductive with a refractory metal powder. Specifically, a metal powder is laid on a substrate forming a wiring circuit with a recoater, and then laser light is irradiated based on CAD data to melt the low-melting-point metal powder only at the irradiated portion and to conduct the high-melting-point metal powder. This is a laser forming method in which only the irradiated portion of the metal powder layer that has been made into a metal alloy or made into a metal alloy is fixed to a substrate to obtain a pattern wiring circuit.

The metal powder deposited on the base material is irradiated with laser light from the back side of the base material through the base material to melt the low melting point metal powder and become conductive with the high melting point metal powder. Any device that can form the film can be used. Specifically, the forming material is spread almost uniformly on the surface of the base material to be used, and then laser light is irradiated from the back surface of the base material on which the metal powder is deposited through a laser light emitting device and a mirror based on CAD data. Only melt the low melting point metal powder and make it conductive with the high melting point metal powder, solidify the laid metal powder layer on the substrate only on the substrate, obtain the pattern wiring circuit, and after this operation, laser light irradiation Any device can be used as long as it can remove the metal powder other than the irradiated portion.
レーザ光照射は、通常の空気中、不活性ガス雰囲気、真空中のいずれの雰囲気で照射されるものでも構わない。好ましくは、酸化防止のため窒素、アルゴン、又はこれらの混合物からなる不活性ガス雰囲気中で行うのがよい。用いるレーザ光は、波長０．７５−１．４μｍ 、光エネルギー０．９−１．７ｅＶの近赤外レーザ、Ａｒレーザなどの気体レーザ、ルビーレーザ、Ｎｄ：ＹＡＧレーザなどの固体レーザ、半導体レーザ、色素レーザなど、いずれのレーザ発振器によるものでもよい。また、基材の劣化防止の観点より吸収帯から外れている波長が望ましい。なかでも、波長０．７０−１．１μｍの近赤外領域の波長の光は生体透過性が高く使用することができる。 The laser light irradiation may be performed in any of normal air, inert gas atmosphere, and vacuum atmosphere. Preferably, it is carried out in an inert gas atmosphere composed of nitrogen, argon, or a mixture thereof to prevent oxidation. Laser light to be used is a near-infrared laser having a wavelength of 0.75 to 1.4 μm and a light energy of 0.9 to 1.7 eV, a gas laser such as an Ar laser, a ruby laser, a solid-state laser such as an Nd: YAG laser, and a semiconductor laser.

本発明のレーザ光による金属粉末を用いる金属粉末融解メカニズムを図１に示す。金属粉末、即ち、高融点金属粉末（ＡｇまたはＣｕ）と低融点金属粉末（ハンダ粉）を均一の混合した形成材料を基材上に堆積させ、基材の背面からのレーザ光照射により低融点金属粉末が融解し高融点金属粉末とが導通化し、基材上にパターン配線回路が形成できる。基材背面からレーザ光照射を行うため、金属粉の均しは不要で、基材の平滑性により均一な融解が可能となる。また基材底部から一部融解が生じるため、接着性が良好となる。さらに、低出力レーザにより融解が可能なため、非耐熱性基材、即ち、有機物、耐熱性が低いプラスチックフィルム、シート及び生体、葉っぱなどの植物上で行うことができる。 The metal powder melting mechanism using the metal powder by the laser beam of the present invention is shown in FIG. A metal powder, that is, a forming material in which a high melting point metal powder (Ag or Cu) and a low melting point metal powder (solder powder) are uniformly mixed is deposited on a base material, and a low melting point is obtained by laser irradiation from the back surface of the base material. The metal powder melts and becomes conductive with the refractory metal powder, and a pattern wiring circuit can be formed on the substrate. Since laser light irradiation is performed from the back surface of the base material, the metal powder does not need to be leveled, and uniform melting is possible due to the smoothness of the base material. Moreover, since partial melting occurs from the bottom of the substrate, the adhesiveness is good. Furthermore, since it can be melted by a low-power laser, it can be performed on non-heat-resistant substrates, that is, organic substances, plastic films, sheets having low heat resistance, and plants such as living bodies and leaves.
本発明の背面レーザ光照射により作製されたグリッド電極パターンの表面顕微鏡写真を図２に示す。高融点金属粉末と低融点金属粉末を均一に混合した形成材料をＰＥＴ基材、例えば、基材上に厚さ約３０〜６０μｍに一面に形成し、次に基材の背面からレーザ光を照射する。本発明においては、基材上の金属混合粉が背面レーザ光照射により、金属混合粉中の低融点金属粉末のみが融解し、高融点金属粉末とが導通化しグリッド電極パターンが形成される。即ち、基材背面よりレーザ光照射すると、金属の融解拡散条件に応じてグリッド電極パターンが基材上に形成され固定化される。 FIG. 2 shows a surface micrograph of the grid electrode pattern produced by the backside laser light irradiation of the present invention. A forming material in which a high melting point metal powder and a low melting point metal powder are uniformly mixed is formed on a PET base material, for example, a single side with a thickness of about 30 to 60 μm, and then irradiated with laser light from the back side of the base material. To do. In the present invention, when the metal mixed powder on the substrate is irradiated with the back surface laser light, only the low melting metal powder in the metal mixed powder is melted, and the high melting metal powder becomes conductive and a grid electrode pattern is formed. That is, when the laser beam is irradiated from the back surface of the base material, the grid electrode pattern is formed and fixed on the base material according to the melting and diffusion conditions of the metal.
本発明の実施例で形成されたグリッド電極パターンの断面顕微鏡写真及びＳＥＭ電子顕微鏡写真を図３に示す。図３に示すグリッド電極パターンは、基材上に高融点金属粉末と低融点金属粉末を均一の混合した形成材料を厚さ約３０〜６０μｍに基材上にほぼ一面に堆積形成し、基材背面レーザ光照射をグリッド電極パターン状に照射したものを顕微鏡写真としたものである。図３のグリッド電極パターン断面によれば、基材のグリッド電極パターンが形成された面には基材の一部が若干溶けている状態が確認される。 FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional micrograph and a SEM electron micrograph of the grid electrode pattern formed in the example of the present invention. The grid electrode pattern shown in FIG. 3 is formed by depositing a forming material in which a high melting point metal powder and a low melting point metal powder are uniformly mixed on a base material so as to have a thickness of about 30 to 60 μm on the base material. A photomicrograph is obtained by irradiating the back surface laser light in a grid electrode pattern. According to the grid electrode pattern cross section of FIG. 3, it is confirmed that a part of the base material is slightly melted on the surface of the base material on which the grid electrode pattern is formed.
本発明の実施例での近赤外レーザ光背面照射により葉っぱ上に形成する配線パターン作製図を図４に示す。表面に凹凸がある葉っぱ上に高融点金属粉末と低融点金属粉末を均一に混合した形成材料を略平面均一に堆積し、葉っぱの背面から近赤外レーザ光を照射し、葉っぱ上で低融点金属粉末が融解し高融点金属粉末とが導通化し一体化した配線パターンが形成できる。低出力レーザにより融解が可能なため、耐熱性が低い生体、植物（葉っぱなど）上でも密着して形成できる。また、基材底部から融解するため葉っぱなどのようにある程度の凸凹な表面上においても融解した低融点金属粉末を固着することが可能である。 FIG. 4 shows a wiring pattern manufacturing diagram formed on the leaf by back irradiation of the near infrared laser beam in the embodiment of the present invention. A material with a uniform mixture of high-melting-point metal powder and low-melting-point metal powder is deposited almost uniformly on a leaf with irregularities on the surface, irradiated with near-infrared laser light from the back of the leaf, and low-melting point on the leaf. A wiring pattern in which the metal powder is melted and the refractory metal powder becomes conductive and integrated can be formed. Since it can be melted by a low-power laser, it can be formed on a living body or plant (such as a leaf) with low heat resistance. In addition, since it melts from the bottom of the base material, it is possible to fix the melted low melting point metal powder even on a certain uneven surface such as a leaf.
基材としては、絶縁性基材、導電性基材のいずれでもよく、用途に応じて用いることができる。低出力レーザ照射によって、分解、損傷などが生じない、例えば、有機物からなる基材、プラスチックス、薄紙、厚紙などの紙質材、葉っぱ、植物、箔、薄板など木質材、生体などの耐熱性が低い、非耐熱性基材と称されるいかなる基材でも用いることができる。プラスチックス基材としては、アクリル酸エステル、メチルメタアクリレート（ＰＭＭＡ）樹脂等のアクリル系樹脂、ポリカーボネート（ＰＣ）樹脂、ポリエチレン（ＰＥ）樹脂、ポリプロピレン（ＰＰ）樹脂、ポリスチレン（ＰＳ）樹脂、ポリエチレンテレフタレート（ＰＥＴ）、ポリブチレンテレフタレート（ＰＢＴ）等のポリエステル樹脂、エポキシ樹脂、フェノール樹脂、ポリ塩化ビニル（ＰＶＣ）樹脂等各種汎用プラスチック、機能性プラスチックが例示できる。また、フレキシブル基材として、ポリイミド基材、ポリエステル基材、ポリオレフィン基材などを用いることもできる。 As a base material, any of an insulating base material and an electroconductive base material may be sufficient, and it can be used according to a use. Low power laser irradiation does not cause decomposition, damage, etc., for example, substrate materials made of organic matter, plastic materials such as plastics, thin paper, cardboard, leaves, plants, foil, thin wood materials such as thin plates, heat resistance of living organisms, etc. Any substrate referred to as a low, non-heat resistant substrate can be used. Plastics base materials include acrylic resins, acrylic resins such as methyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin, polycarbonate (PC) resin, polyethylene (PE) resin, polypropylene (PP) resin, polystyrene (PS) resin, polyethylene terephthalate Examples include various general-purpose plastics and functional plastics such as polyester resins such as (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), epoxy resins, phenol resins, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resins. Moreover, a polyimide base material, a polyester base material, a polyolefin base material etc. can also be used as a flexible base material.
非耐熱性基材のなかでもプラスチックフィルム、フレキシブルプラスチック基材、生体、葉っぱなどの植物などを基材として用いるのが好ましい。有機物からなる基材の場合、基材が一部状態変化を起こすことでパターン配線回路が密着する。基材がプラスチックス基材の場合、レーザ照射部直下の基材の一部が融解することによりパターン配線回路の密着性が高まるのでより好ましい。又基材の表面に凹凸があってもよく、これらの基材の表面状態に関係なく金属粉末を融解固着させ、パターン配線回路を形成することができる。基材の厚みは、低出力レーザ照射によって基材上の低融点金属粉末を融解することができる厚みならば使用できる。例えば、１μｍ〜１０００μｍ程度の厚みである。 Among non-heat-resistant substrates, it is preferable to use a plastic film, a flexible plastic substrate, a living body, a plant such as a leaf as the substrate. In the case of a base material made of an organic material, the pattern wiring circuit is brought into close contact with the base material due to a partial state change. When a base material is a plastics base material, since the adhesiveness of a pattern wiring circuit improves because a part of base material just under a laser irradiation part melt | dissolves, it is more preferable. Further, the surface of the substrate may be uneven, and the pattern wiring circuit can be formed by melting and fixing the metal powder regardless of the surface state of these substrates. The thickness of the base material can be used as long as the low melting point metal powder on the base material can be melted by low power laser irradiation. For example, the thickness is about 1 μm to 1000 μm.
本発明は、レーザ光照射による金属粉末を用いた金属回路作成法であるので、複雑な形状のパターン配線回路を寸法精度よく製作することができる。また、従来の方法によっては作製できなかった形状のパターン配線回路をも工程数少なく、短時間で、ＣＡＤデータを基に作製できる。更に、めっき法、スパッタリング、真空蒸着などにより全面に金属層形成し、フォトリソグラフィーにより所望のパターンにエッチングする方法、マスクを用いて導電パターンを形成する方法、はんだや導電ペーストを用いて基板上に描画する方法、転写、圧着の方法とは異なり、作成が簡便で、小ロット生産や従来の方法では作成できないような複雑、微細な形状のパターン配線回路を製造するのに有益である。 Since the present invention is a method for producing a metal circuit using metal powder by laser light irradiation, it is possible to manufacture a pattern wiring circuit having a complicated shape with high dimensional accuracy. In addition, a pattern wiring circuit having a shape that cannot be produced by a conventional method can be produced based on CAD data in a short time with a small number of steps. Furthermore, a metal layer is formed on the entire surface by plating, sputtering, vacuum deposition, etc., a method of etching to a desired pattern by photolithography, a method of forming a conductive pattern using a mask, and a substrate using solder or a conductive paste. Unlike the drawing method, transfer method, and pressure bonding method, the production is simple and useful for producing a pattern wiring circuit having a complicated and fine shape that cannot be produced by a small lot production or a conventional method.
本発明は、本発明のパターン配線回路を形成する方法により形成された構造体にも関する。パターン配線回路を形成する方法により形成された構造体とは、基材とその上に形成されたパターン配線回路を備えた構造体をいう。本発明のパターン配線回路を形成する方法は、基材背面からレーザ光照射に基材上方からのレーザ光照射を繰り返して積層し立体構造体を作製することもできる。 The present invention also relates to a structure formed by the method for forming the patterned wiring circuit of the present invention. The structure formed by the method of forming a pattern wiring circuit refers to a structure including a substrate and a pattern wiring circuit formed thereon. In the method for forming the pattern wiring circuit of the present invention, a three-dimensional structure can be produced by repeatedly laminating laser light irradiation from the back surface of the base material and laser light irradiation from above the base material.
従来は、金属粉末をレーザ融解し、細線を形成するためには、レーザ焦点距離を一定にして走査する都合上、表面が平らで均質な金属粉層を作製する必要があった。また、表面接着性をよくするために、底部まで十分に融解できるよう金属粉末層を薄くする必要があった。本発明では、基材背面からレーザ光照射を行うため、金属粉末の均しは不要で、基材の平滑性により均一な融解が可能で、低出力レーザにより融解が可能となる。また底部から融解が生じるため、例えば、プラスチック基材を用いる場合、基材の表面の一部が融解し、金属層、パターン配線回路とが密着し接着性が良好となる。 Conventionally, in order to laser-melt metal powder and form a thin line, it has been necessary to produce a metal powder layer having a flat surface and a uniform surface for the convenience of scanning with a constant laser focal length. In addition, in order to improve surface adhesion, it is necessary to make the metal powder layer thin so that the bottom part can be sufficiently melted. In the present invention, since the laser beam irradiation is performed from the back surface of the base material, the metal powder does not need to be leveled, can be uniformly melted by the smoothness of the base material, and can be melted by a low-power laser. Further, since melting occurs from the bottom, for example, when a plastic substrate is used, a part of the surface of the substrate is melted, and the metal layer and the pattern wiring circuit are in close contact with each other, thereby improving the adhesiveness.
本発明は、従来のレーザ光照射法で用いている装置をそのままで、基材上の形成材料に対して、レーザ光を基材を通して基材の背面から照射すればよく、高融点金属粉末と低融点金属粉末の混合粉末を均一にする必要がなく、凹凸のある基材上にもパターン配線回路を作製することができる。しかも、低出力レーザを用いることで耐熱性の低い基材上に密着して回路を形成することができる。 In the present invention, the apparatus used in the conventional laser light irradiation method may be used as it is, and the formation material on the base material may be irradiated with laser light from the back surface of the base material through the base material. It is not necessary to make the mixed powder of the low melting point metal powder uniform, and a pattern wiring circuit can be produced even on an uneven substrate. In addition, by using a low-power laser, a circuit can be formed in close contact with a substrate having low heat resistance.
次に、実施例および比較例に基づいて本発明を具体的に説明するが、本発明は、以下の実施例などによって何ら限定されるものではない。 Next, the present invention will be specifically described based on examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.
［実施例１］
高融点金属粉末として銀粉末（三井金属鉱業社製ＳＬ−３、平均粒径３μｍ）、低融点金属粉末としてスズ７２質量％、ビスマス２８質量％からなるスズ合金粉末（三井金属鉱業社製ＳＴ−３、平均粒径３μｍ）を１：１の重量比で混合し金属粉末形成材料を調整した。ポリエチレンテレフタレート（ＰＥＴ：厚み１００μｍ）基板上に混合粉末を３０〜６０μｍの厚さで一面に広げた。ファイバーレーザ（波長：１０７５ｎｍ、出力パワー密度：約６J/ｃｍ2）をＰＥＴ基板背面より連続モードでグリッド電極パターン状に走査し照射した。次に、未照射部分の金属粉末形成材料を除去し、ＰＥＴ基板上に厚さ３〜６μｍ、線幅２５μｍのグリッド電極パターンを形成した。形成されたグリッド電極パターンの光学顕微鏡像を図２に示す。また、その時のレーザ照射部断面である導通化したパターンの断面顕微鏡像及びＳＥＭ写真を図３に示す。
[Example 1]
Silver powder (SL-3 manufactured by Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd., average particle size 3 μm) as the high melting point metal powder, and tin alloy powder comprising 72% by mass of tin and 28% by mass of bismuth as the low melting point metal powder (ST- manufactured by Mitsui Kinzoku Mining Co., Ltd.) 3 and an average particle diameter of 3 μm) were mixed at a weight ratio of 1: 1 to prepare a metal powder forming material. The mixed powder was spread on one surface with a thickness of 30 to 60 μm on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET: thickness 100 μm) substrate. A fiber laser (wavelength: 1075 nm, output power density: about 6 J / cm 2 ) was scanned and irradiated in a grid electrode pattern form in continuous mode from the back of the PET substrate. Next, the metal powder forming material in the unirradiated portion was removed, and a grid electrode pattern having a thickness of 3 to 6 μm and a line width of 25 μm was formed on the PET substrate. An optical microscope image of the formed grid electrode pattern is shown in FIG. Further, FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional microscopic image and an SEM photograph of the conductive pattern which is a cross section of the laser irradiation portion at that time.
形成されたパターン配線回路の長さ０．３ｍｍ、平均幅１ｍｍ、平均高さ４μｍのラインを用いて、抵抗を４端子測定器（ＫＢ１００、ＫＢ・esi社製）を用いて測定した。その結果、抵抗値：０．６Ω、比抵抗値:８μΩｍであった。また、透過型電子顕微鏡による分析によりＰＥＴ基板中にスズが銀に拡散し合金を形成していることが観察されている。また、図３の断面観察により、照射部直下のＰＥＴが一部融解しており、グリッド電極パターン構造体のＰＥＴ基板表面に対しての接着性向上に寄与していることがわかる。 Resistance was measured using a 4-terminal measuring instrument (KB100, manufactured by KB • esi) using a line having a length of 0.3 mm, an average width of 1 mm, and an average height of 4 μm of the formed pattern wiring circuit. As a result, the resistance value was 0.6Ω and the specific resistance value was 8 μΩm. Further, it has been observed by analysis with a transmission electron microscope that tin diffuses into silver and forms an alloy in the PET substrate. Moreover, it is understood from the cross-sectional observation in FIG. 3 that a part of the PET immediately under the irradiated part is melted, which contributes to the improvement of the adhesion of the grid electrode pattern structure to the surface of the PET substrate.
［実施例２］
実施例１において、ファイバーレーザ（波長：１０７５ｎｍ、出力パワー密度：約６J/ｃｍ2）を植物の葉っぱ背面より連続モードでグリッド電極パターン状に走査し照射した以外は、実施例１と同様にして、葉っぱ上に長さ約１ｃｍ、厚さ４μｍ、線幅１ｍｍの櫛形電極パターンを形成した。形成された櫛型電極パターンの導体部の導通はテスターで確認した。
[Example 2]
In Example 1, a fiber laser (wavelength: 1075 nm, output power density: about 6 J / cm 2 ) was scanned and irradiated in a continuous mode from the back of the leaf of the plant in a grid electrode pattern, and was the same as Example 1. A comb-shaped electrode pattern having a length of about 1 cm, a thickness of 4 μm, and a line width of 1 mm was formed on the leaf. The conductivity of the conductor part of the formed comb electrode pattern was confirmed by a tester.
［比較例１］
高融点金属粉末として銀（三井金属鉱業社製ＳL−３、平均粒径３μｍ）だけを用い金属粉末形成材料を調整した。ＰＥＴ基板上に金属粉末形成材料を３０〜６０μｍの厚さで均一に一面に広げた。ファイバーレーザ（波長：１０７５ｎｍ、出力パワー密度：約６J/ｃｍ2）を下方より連続モードでグリッド型電極パターン状に走査し照射した。次に、エアガンで未照射部分の金属粉末形成材料を除去すると、未照射部と同様照射部においてもＰＥＴ上には焼結及び固着されず除去された。
[Comparative Example 1]
A metal powder forming material was prepared using only silver (SL-3 manufactured by Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd., average particle size of 3 μm) as the refractory metal powder. A metal powder forming material was uniformly spread on one surface with a thickness of 30 to 60 μm on a PET substrate. A fiber laser (wavelength: 1075 nm, output power density: about 6 J / cm 2 ) was scanned and irradiated in a continuous mode in a grid-type electrode pattern from below. Next, when the metal powder forming material in the unirradiated part was removed with an air gun, the irradiated part was removed from the PET without being sintered and fixed in the same manner as the unirradiated part.
［比較例２］
実施例1において、ファイバーレーザをＰＥＴ基板上面より連続モードでグリッド電極パターン状に走査し照射した以外は、実施例１と同様にして、ＰＥＴ上にグリッド型電極パターンを形成した。形成されたグリッド電極パターンの光学顕微鏡像を図５に示す。
[Comparative Example 2]
In Example 1, a grid electrode pattern was formed on PET in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the fiber laser was scanned and irradiated in a continuous mode from the upper surface of the PET substrate into a grid electrode pattern. An optical microscope image of the formed grid electrode pattern is shown in FIG.
実施例１において形成されたグリッド電極パターンは、ＰＥＴ基板に強固に密着しており、比抵抗は８μΩｍ以下であり、レーザ出力、照射法、混合粉末の混合比を最適化すればより微細で低抵抗なパターン配線回路が形成できる。実施例２においては、ファイバーレーザ（波長：１０７５ｎｍ、出力パワー密度：約６J/ｃｍ2）を植物の葉っぱ背面より連続モードでグリッド電極パターン状に走査し微細なパターン配線回路が形成できる。 The grid electrode pattern formed in Example 1 is firmly adhered to the PET substrate, has a specific resistance of 8 μΩm or less, and is finer and lower if the laser output, irradiation method, and mixing ratio of the mixed powder are optimized. A resistive pattern wiring circuit can be formed. In Example 2, a fine pattern wiring circuit can be formed by scanning a fiber laser (wavelength: 1075 nm, output power density: about 6 J / cm 2 ) in a grid electrode pattern from the back of a plant leaf in a continuous mode.
一方、比較例１において形成された金属配線パターンは、低融点金属粉末を配合していないので、高融点金属粉末はＰＥＴ上に焼結および密着しないため、基板から剥がれてしまった。また、比較例２では、粒子サイズが３μｍの金属粉末をＰＥＴ基板上に均一に広げ堆積することは難しく、照射部において低融点合金粉末の深さ方向の融解可能な距離が異なるため、融解領域が基板近くまで達していない金属粉末照射部は剥がれており、複雑なパターン形成が難しいものであった。 On the other hand, since the metal wiring pattern formed in Comparative Example 1 does not contain the low melting point metal powder, the high melting point metal powder does not sinter and adhere to the PET, and thus peeled off from the substrate. Further, in Comparative Example 2, it is difficult to uniformly spread and deposit a metal powder having a particle size of 3 μm on a PET substrate, and the meltable distance in the depth direction of the low-melting-point alloy powder is different in the irradiated portion. However, it was difficult to form a complicated pattern because the metal powder irradiated portion that had not reached the vicinity of the substrate was peeled off.
本発明は、原料調整工程、作製工程、後処理工程など多工程を必要とすることなく、低出力レーザを用い１造形物当たり低エネルギーコストで、簡単な方法として背面レーザ光照射による金属粉末を用いたパターン配線回路形成法を提供できる。微細なパターン配線回路として耐熱性が低いＰＥＴなどのプラスチックフィルムや葉っぱ、生体などの上に、パターン配線回路が形成でき有用である。 The present invention does not require multiple steps such as a raw material adjustment step, a production step, and a post-treatment step, and uses a low-power laser and a low energy cost per shaped object, and as a simple method, a metal powder by irradiation with a rear laser beam is used. The pattern wiring circuit forming method used can be provided. As a fine pattern wiring circuit, a pattern wiring circuit can be formed on a plastic film such as PET having low heat resistance, a leaf, a living body, or the like, which is useful.
