【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電気・電子回路のはんだ接合技術に関し、特に、錫−銀系のはんだで電気・電子回路を接合するに適した光沢錫−銀合金めっきを施した電気・電子回路部品に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
電子工業において錫−鉛を基本組成とするはんだ(ろう材)による接合は不可欠の技術として広く行われている。はんだ付けを迅速かつ確実に行うために、はんだ付けしようとする部品に予めはんだ付け性の良好な皮膜(はんだ付け性皮膜)を施しておくことが行われるが、このはんだ付け性皮膜として錫−鉛合金めっき皮膜が一般に利用されている。
【0003】
しかしながら、近年、鉛の健康・環境への影響が懸念され、有害な鉛を含む錫−鉛はんだを規制しようとする考えが急速に広まりつつある。工業的な生産条件並びに使用条件という観点から勘案すると、錫−鉛はんだに代替できる特性を有するような鉛を含まないはんだはいまのところなく、日欧米を中心として研究開発が行われているところである。錫−鉛はんだの代替としては第一元素としては錫が利用されると考えられるが、第二元素としては銀、ビスマス、銅、インジウム、アンチモン、亜鉛などが候補として挙げられており、それらの二元合金あるいはさらに第三元素を添加した多元合金が候補として挙げられている。その中で錫−銀系合金は、最も有力な代替合金候補の一つである。
【0004】
鉛フリーの代替はんだ(ろう材)に対応して、はんだ付け性めっき皮膜もまた鉛を含有しないものに代替しなければ意味がない。しかしながら、これまで錫−銀系ろう材に対応できる、高信頼性を有し、大量生産に適したはんだ付け性皮膜は十分な検討が行われておらず、錫−銀系ろう材を使用する際に工業的利用に十分な性能を有したはんだ付け性皮膜を施した電気・電子回路部品はなかった。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ろう材の成分管理上からも、ろう材とはんだ付け性皮膜の成分は同じことが望ましく、鉛フリーのろう材として錫−銀系のはんだを使用する場合には、はんだ付け性皮膜としても錫−銀系合金めっき皮膜を使用することが望ましいと考えられる。また、成分濃度も同一に近い方が管理上好都合な点が多い。発明者らは、良好なはんだ付け性を有した電気・電子回路部品を作成するために鋭意めっき皮膜の条件について検討した。
【0006】
錫−銀系合金めっき皮膜を得るための浴自体は、シアン浴が古くから知られており、1971年に松下はシアン−ピロリン酸混合浴(金属表面技術 22,60(1971))から錫−銀合金皮膜を得ている。しかし、シアンを用いることもまた環境衛生・公害・毒劇物管理の観点から好ましくない。
【0007】
また、シアン浴以外の錫−銀合金めっき浴としては、1983年に久保田らは非シアン浴としてピロリン酸浴(金属表面技術 34,37(1983))から錫−銀合金皮膜を得ている。しかし、これらも、銀めっきの代替もしくは銀めっきの性能向上を主たる目的に開発研究されたものであり、銀を主成分とした銀−錫合金電気めっき皮膜を得るための浴であり、錫が主成分となった場合に、平滑で緻密なめっきが得られるものではなく、目的とするはんだ付け性を有する電気・電子回路部品の作成には満足すべきものではなかった。
【0008】
また、錫を主成分とするようなはんだ付け性皮膜に関して、最近、伊勢らによってスズ酸カリ−硝酸銀浴(表面技術協会第93回講演大会予講集 205(1996))、また、新井らによってピロリン酸−ヨウ化物浴(表面技術協会第93回講演大会予講集 195(1996))が報告されており、さらに発明者らはより緻密で平滑ではんだ付け性に優れためっき皮膜を得るため、鋭意研究を重ね、各種有機化合物の添加によって皮膜の平滑性等が改善されることを見出し、特許を出願(特願平8−143481号、特願平8−207683号)しており、これらの浴を用いてはんだ付け性皮膜を施した電気・電子回路部品は、従来よりもはんだ付け性に優れたものではあったが、なお不十分な点を残すものであった。
【0009】
すなわち、めっき皮膜のはんだ付け性は、皮膜の金属組成に影響されるばかりでなく、皮膜の結晶サイズ、平滑性にも大きく依存し、特に濡れの速さは、錫−鉛合金めっき皮膜の場合でも、光沢めっきの方が一般に優れている。すなわち、従来の錫−銀系はんだ付け性皮膜において、はんだ付け性が満足されなかった原因は皮膜の結晶の微細さ、平滑性が不十分であったことであり、これが、代替はんだ問題解決上の課題であった。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の発明者は、従来技術では不可能であった非シアン浴からの鏡面光沢錫−銀合金電気めっきを初めて可能ならしめ、これを施すことによって、錫−銀系はんだに対して優れたはんだ付け性を有した電気・電子回路部品を完成し、錫−銀系はんだ(ろう材)と錫−銀系めっき皮膜を組み合わせて利用することを可能にし、よって環境・衛生・公害上問題のある錫−鉛はんだを代替することを可能とし、代替はんだ問題を解決するに至った。
【0011】
発明の概要
すなわち、本発明は、非シアンの錫−銀合金電気めっき浴から、皮膜中の銀含有量が0.1%〜10%で、皮膜厚さが0.1〜100μmの光沢を有し、錫−銀系はんだを用いてはんだ接合を施す際に優れたはんだ付け性を示す錫−銀合金めっき皮膜を施したことを特徴とする電気・電子回路部品を提供するものである。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の電気・電子部品の作成においては、皮膜中の銀含有量が0.1%〜10%の錫−銀合金電気めっき皮膜が使用される。はんだ付け性皮膜を施した表面のはんだ付け性は、種々の要因に影響されるが、皮膜組成もその一つである。
【0013】
錫−銀二元合金系は、銀含有率3.5%が共晶組成であり、この組成のときに最も融点が低い。はんだ付け性は、一般に融点が低い方が良好であるが、必ずしも融点だけに左右されるわけではなく、成分金属の性質にも依存する。
【0014】
銀は錫への溶解速度が速いために、銀含有率が共晶組成を越えて増加してもはんだ付け性がそれほど低下するわけではない。したがって、銀含有率についての明確な上限はないけれども、10%を越えると融点も300℃に近くなるためにはんだ付け性は低下してくる。したがって、めっき皮膜中の銀含有量の上限は、概ね10%と考えるべきである。
【0015】
また、工業的に使用するには皮膜コストも重要な検討要素であり、この点からも概ね10%を限度とするのが望ましい。また、錫単独のめっき皮膜からはウィスカーが発生し、回路短絡の原因となるため、錫以外の金属を含有させることが望ましい。錫−銀合金めっきについて詳細にウィスカーの発生を検討した報告は見当たらないが、発明者が観察した範囲においては、錫単独のめっき皮膜からは多量のウィスカーの発生が認められたのに対して、微量の銀を含有させた場合でも、光沢錫−銀めっきにおいては、明瞭なウィスカーの発生は観察されなかったことから、概ね0.1%以上の銀を含有させることが望ましい。
【0016】
また、本発明の電気・電子部品の作成においては、光沢を有しためっき皮膜が使用される。前述したようにめっき皮膜のはんだ付け性は、皮膜の金属組成だけではなく、皮膜の結晶サイズ、平滑性にも大きく影響を受ける。
【0017】
本発明者らは、はんだ付け性を、ゼロクロスタイム、平衡に達するまでの時間、はんだ付け後の表面外観などから評価し、鋭意検討した結果、同一組成を有する合金めっき皮膜を比較した場合、光沢めっき皮膜は無光沢めっき皮膜に比較して、格段に優れたものであることを見出した。
【0018】
本発明の鏡面光沢の錫−銀めっき皮膜は、錫イオンおよび銀イオンを含み、さらにピロリン酸とヨウ素をそれぞれ錫イオンおよび銀イオンの錯化剤とし、浴中の銀比率が概ね0.2〜5%である浴にトリエタノールアミンとサリチルアルデヒドオキシムを添加し、室温にて2週間熟成させた浴から、電流密度2〜3A/dm で得られる。
【0019】
さらに、かかるはんだ付け性皮膜を得るためのめっき浴は、鉛の環境、公害、健康への問題を解決するという趣旨に沿って、当該特許において用いたように非シアン浴が用いられるべきである。
【0020】
かかる条件に限定された錫−銀合金電気めっき皮膜を0.1〜100μmの厚さに施しておくことによって、初めて錫−銀系ろう材を使用する際にも良好なはんだ付け性を示す電気・電子回路部品の作成が可能となった。
【0021】
さらに、本発明では、電気・電子回路部品に錫めっきや錫−鉛めっきを施すに先立って下地めっきが利用されるように、該光沢錫−銀合金めっきの下地めっきとして、電気めっき及び/又は無電解めっきによって銅又はニッケル及びそれらの合金めっきを施すことができる。
【0022】
このようなはんだ付け性皮膜を適用できる、はんだ接合個所を有した電気・電子回路部品には、例えば、IC半導体等の電子デバイス等、抵抗器、コンデンサ等の受動部品等、コネクタ、スイッチ、プリント配線板等の接続部品等、などが挙げられる。
【0023】
該電気・電子回路部品は、錫−銀系ろう材を使用する際に特に良好なはんだ付け性を示すものであるが、その他の系のろう材に対しても使用が可能なものである。
【0024】
【実施例】
次に実施例によって、本発明をさらに詳細に説明するが、本発明はこれら数例によって限定されるものではなく、前述した目的に沿ってめっき皮膜条件は適宜、任意に変更することができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a soldering technique for an electric / electronic circuit, and more particularly to an electric / electronic circuit component plated with a tin-silver alloy suitable for joining an electric / electronic circuit with a tin-silver solder.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the electronics industry, joining by solder (brazing material) having a basic composition of tin-lead is widely performed as an indispensable technique. In order to carry out soldering quickly and reliably, a film having good solderability (solderability film) is previously applied to a component to be soldered. Lead alloy plating films are generally used.
[0003]
However, in recent years, there has been concern about the effect of lead on health and the environment, and the idea of regulating tin-lead solder containing harmful lead is rapidly spreading. Considering industrial production conditions and usage conditions, there is no lead-free solder that has properties that can be substituted for tin-lead solder, and research and development is being conducted mainly in Japan, Europe, and the United States. is there. It is thought that tin is used as the first element as an alternative to tin-lead solder, but silver, bismuth, copper, indium, antimony, zinc, etc. are listed as candidates for the second element, Binary alloys or multi-element alloys with the addition of a third element are listed as candidates. Among them, tin-silver alloys are one of the most promising alternative alloy candidates.
[0004]
It is meaningless if the solderable plating film is not replaced with a lead-free solder, in response to a lead-free alternative solder (brazing material). However, a solderable film having high reliability and suitable for mass production, which can be used with a tin-silver brazing material, has not been sufficiently studied so far, and a tin-silver brazing material is used. At the time, there was no electric or electronic circuit component provided with a solderable film having sufficient performance for industrial use.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
From the viewpoint of component management of the brazing material, it is desirable that the components of the brazing material and the solderable film are the same. If a tin-silver solder is used as the lead-free brazing material, the tinning of the solderable film is also required. -It is considered desirable to use a silver-based alloy plating film. In addition, it is often advantageous that the component concentrations are close to the same for management. The inventors have studied the conditions of the plated film in order to produce an electric / electronic circuit component having good solderability.
[0006]
Tin - bath itself for obtaining the silver-based alloy plating film, cyanide bath have been known for a long time, Matsushita cyan 1971 - tin pyrophosphate bath mixture (metal surface technology 22, 60 (1971)) - A silver alloy film has been obtained. However, the use of cyan is also not preferable from the viewpoint of environmental hygiene, pollution and poisonous substance management.
[0007]
As a tin-silver alloy plating bath other than the cyan bath, Kubota et al. Obtained a tin-silver alloy film from a pyrophosphate bath (Metal Surface Technology 34 , 37 (1983)) as a non-cyan bath in 1983. However, these were also developed and studied mainly for the purpose of replacing silver plating or improving the performance of silver plating, and are baths for obtaining a silver-tin alloy electroplated film containing silver as a main component. When used as a main component, smooth and dense plating cannot be obtained, and it was not satisfactory for producing an electric / electronic circuit component having a desired solderability.
[0008]
In addition, regarding a solderable film containing tin as a main component, recently, a potash stannate-silver nitrate bath by Ise et al. (Preliminary Collection of the 93rd Conference of Surface Technology Association, 205 (1996)) A pyrophosphoric acid-iodide bath (Preliminary Collection of the 93rd Lecture Meeting of the Surface Technology Association, 195 (1996)) has been reported. After diligent research, they found that the addition of various organic compounds improved the smoothness of the film, and applied for patents (Japanese Patent Application Nos. 8-143481 and 8-207683). Although the electric and electronic circuit parts provided with the solderability coating using the bath described above had better solderability than before, they still left insufficient points.
[0009]
In other words, the solderability of the plating film is not only affected by the metal composition of the film, but also greatly depends on the crystal size and smoothness of the film. However, bright plating is generally superior. That is, in the conventional tin-silver solderable film, the reason why the solderability was not satisfied was that the crystallinity of the film was insufficient and the smoothness was insufficient. Was an issue.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The inventor of the present invention has made possible, for the first time, specular gloss tin-silver alloy electroplating from a non-cyanide bath, which was not possible with the prior art, and by applying this, it is possible to obtain an excellent tin-silver solder. Completion of electrical and electronic circuit parts with solderability, making it possible to use tin-silver solder (brazing material) in combination with tin-silver plating film, thus reducing environmental, sanitary and pollution problems. It has made it possible to replace certain tin-lead solders, and has solved the problem of alternative solders.
[0011]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION That is, according to the present invention, a non-cyan tin-silver alloy electroplating bath has a silver content in a film of 0.1% to 10% and a film thickness of 0.1 to 100 μm. Provided is an electric / electronic circuit component characterized by having a tin-silver alloy plating film having a high gloss and exhibiting excellent solderability when applying a solder joint using a tin-silver solder. It is.
[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
In producing the electric / electronic component of the present invention, a tin-silver alloy electroplated film having a silver content of 0.1% to 10% in the film is used. The solderability of the surface provided with the solderability film is affected by various factors, and the film composition is one of them.
[0013]
The tin-silver binary alloy system has a eutectic composition with a silver content of 3.5%, and has the lowest melting point at this composition. In general, the lower the melting point, the better the solderability. However, the solderability is not necessarily influenced only by the melting point, but also depends on the properties of the component metals.
[0014]
Since silver dissolves rapidly in tin, increasing the silver content beyond the eutectic composition does not significantly reduce solderability. Therefore, although there is no clear upper limit for the silver content, if it exceeds 10%, the melting point is close to 300 ° C., so that the solderability decreases. Therefore, the upper limit of the silver content in the plating film should be considered to be approximately 10%.
[0015]
In addition, the film cost is also an important factor to be considered for industrial use, and from this point, it is preferable to limit the film cost to approximately 10%. In addition, whiskers are generated from the tin-only plating film, which causes a short circuit. Therefore, it is desirable to include a metal other than tin. Although there is no report examining the occurrence of whiskers in detail with respect to tin-silver alloy plating, in the range observed by the inventor, while a large amount of whiskers were observed from the tin-only plating film, Even when a trace amount of silver is contained, no clear whiskers were observed in the bright tin-silver plating, so it is desirable to contain approximately 0.1% or more of silver.
[0016]
In the production of the electric / electronic component of the present invention, a glossy plating film is used. As described above, the solderability of a plating film is greatly affected not only by the metal composition of the film but also by the crystal size and smoothness of the film.
[0017]
The present inventors evaluated the solderability from zero cross time, time to reach equilibrium, surface appearance after soldering, and the like, and as a result of diligent examination, when comparing alloy plating films having the same composition, glossiness was high. It has been found that the plating film is much better than the matte plating film.
[0018]
The specular gloss tin-silver plating film of the present invention contains tin ions and silver ions, and further uses pyrophosphoric acid and iodine as complexing agents for tin ions and silver ions, respectively, and the silver ratio in the bath is approximately 0.2 to 0.2. Triethanolamine and salicylaldehyde oxime are added to a 5% bath and aged at room temperature for 2 weeks, resulting in a current density of 2-3 A / dm 2 .

[0043]
The solderability of the sample subjected to the bright alloy plating using the baths of Examples 1 to 6 to the tin-silver solder was evaluated by comparing the copper plate of Comparative Example 1, the tin plating of Comparative Example 2, and the matte tin-silver of Comparative Example 3. Table 1 shows the results of comparison with the alloy plating. The solderability was evaluated comprehensively based on the zero cross time, the time required to reach equilibrium, and the surface appearance after soldering. In each of the evaluation items, the sample provided with the matte tin-silver plating film was superior to the tin-plated sample, but the sample provided with the bright tin-silver plating film provided the matte tin-silver plating film. It was even better than the tested sample.

【The invention's effect】
The electric / electronic circuit component according to the present invention is obtained by applying a bright tin-silver alloy plating having a very good solderability, which has not been reported so far, from a non-cyanide bath. Thus, a solder joint using a tin-silver-based solder can be used instead of a solder joint using a tin-lead-based solder whose use is required to be reduced.
