The present invention relates to a soft etching agent for copper. When producing printed wiring boards, as circuits become more precise, it is becoming increasingly common to perform various plating processes, including electroless copper plating, after drilling holes and other processes on copper-clad laminates. There is. In this case, there is a process called soft etching that removes the oxide film and dirt from the copper surface of the copper clad laminate, roughens the surface, and etches the surface very shallowly to improve the adhesion of electroless plating. Processes are essential and important. Conventionally, ammonium persulfate has been widely used as this soft etching agent, but the solution life is short, it is necessary to prepare a bath frequently, and there are also problems in waste liquid treatment. In order to eliminate such drawbacks, the inventors focused on mineral acids (excluding hydrochloric acid--hereinafter simply referred to as mineral acids) and hydrogen peroxide solutions. However, this mineral acid and hydrogen peroxide solution dissolves copper at a fast rate and does not roughen the copper surface much. Furthermore, during dissolution, oxygen bubbles are generated from the copper surface due to the ineffective decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Due to their adhesion to the copper surface, it is difficult to obtain a uniform surface. Furthermore, these bubbles lead to the scattering of mist, resulting in various problems such as deterioration of the working environment. As a result of intensive research to solve these problems, the present inventors have succeeded in suppressing the generation of bubbles from the copper surface due to the ineffective decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in mineral acid and hydrogen peroxide solutions, and increasing the dissolution rate of copper. We have arrived at the present invention, which can suppress and roughen the copper surface. That is, the present invention adds phenols and benzene to a solution consisting of a mineral acid and hydrogen peroxide for the purpose of suppressing the generation of bubbles from the copper surface due to ineffective decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, suppressing the dissolution rate of copper, and roughening the surface. This is a copper soft etching agent characterized by adding one or more compounds selected from sulfonic acids. If an appropriate amount of free chlorine ions is added to this solution, the dissolution rate of copper can be further suppressed, a desired dissolution rate can be obtained, and the surface of the copper can be further roughened. The concentration range of mineral acid and hydrogen peroxide used in the present invention is 1 to 500 g/, and phenols,
The concentration range of benzenesulfonic acids is 0.1 to 100
g/. The concentration range of free chlorine ions is 0.1 to 1000 ppm, and the treatment temperature is 5 to 60 ppm.
It is ℃. The preferred concentration of each component and the preferred processing temperature are determined from the viewpoints of workability and economic efficiency.
Mineral acid 10-300g/, Hydrogen peroxide 10-300g/,
Phenols, benzenesulfonic acids 1-50g/
, free chlorine ions are 0.1~200ppm, and the processing temperature is 20~40℃. Mineral acids used in the present invention include sulfuric acid, nitric acid,
Examples include phosphoric acid, and mixed acids thereof can also be used. As phenols, phenol, 3.5-
There are xyler, catechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, and pyrogallol, and benzenesulfonic acids include benzenesulfonic acid, sulfosalicylic acid, P-benzenedisulfonic acid, and 1-ethyl-
4-sulfobenzene, P-phenolsulfonic acid, P-cresolsulfonic acid, P-toluenesulfonic acid, etc., but they must have a certain degree of solubility in the hydrogen peroxide-sulfuric acid solution. Furthermore, these phenols and benzenesulfonic acids also act as stabilizers for hydrogen peroxide, making the present invention even more useful. Free chlorine ions include chlorides that are soluble in the hydrogen peroxide-mineral acid solution, or chlorides that are inert to the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and are inorganic or organic compounds that substantially release chlorine ions in the solution. From this point of view, very common chlorides such as sodium chloride, potassium chloride, ammonium chloride, and hydrochloric acid are suitable. Copper soft etching can be carried out by dipping the copper clad laminate before electroless copper plating in the soft etching agent of the present invention. According to the present invention, sufficient adhesion strength can be obtained by roughening the copper surface by treatment for several tens of seconds to several minutes, followed by activation treatment and electroless copper plating. Further, since hydrogen peroxide has good stability, the solution can be used without losing its effectiveness even if the solution is left for 2 to 3 weeks. It is also possible to carry out continuous processing in a controlled manner by appropriately replenishing the solution components consumed by the etching process. Furthermore, we provide a soft etching agent that has many practical values, such as being easy to operate, containing mineral acid and hydrogen peroxide as basic ingredients, making it easy to recover copper, and not causing pollution problems. It is something to do. The present invention will be explained in detail below using reference examples and examples. Reference example 1 A solution containing 60 g of hydrogen peroxide and 200 g of sulfuric acid, a solution containing 10 g of phenol, a solution containing 10 g of P-phenolsulfonic acid, a solution containing 10 g of P-toluenesulfonic acid, and catechol. When copper-clad laminates were immersed in the above five types of liquids at 30°C, with and without additives, the amount of gas generated in 30 minutes was measured, and the results are shown in Table 1. It became.
