Description

Electroless plating product and molding method thereof

The invention relates to an electroless plating product and a molding method thereof, in particular to an electroless plating product on an electronic product and a molding method thereof.

Usually, electronic products need to make functions such as talking and surfing through wireless components. They mainly transmit and receive wireless data through antennas mounted on electronic products. Currently, there are many ways to install antennas on electronic products, such as initial stamping. The rear three-dimensional metal antenna is held on the insulating body by screws, and then evolved to form a three-dimensional antenna directly by the laser engraving in the insulating body.

The laser engraving technology is a laser processing principle that uses a high-intensity focused laser beam emitted from a laser to oxidize the material at the focal point and thus processes it. For this part of the technology, please refer to the Chinese invention patent application filed on January 28, 2004. No. 02127135.6, which discloses a method for laser engraving and plating of plastic surface, which has a transparent plastic material, and is coated on the back side of the plastic material with a light-transmitting anti-plating ink mark and a front surface of the plastic material coated with a metal film. Pre-treatment; finally, the metal film pre-treated with the metal film is subjected to laser engraving to determine the desired pattern. However, the method of manufacturing the antenna module requires a laser device, which increases the manufacturing cost of the antenna.

In addition, the traditional laser engraving process requires plastic injection molding using a special plastic added with a metal compound, and then the laser is used to activate the surface of the plastic to be plated by laser, and a metal core is generated on the surface, followed by plastic plating. The metal is plated with a laser activated area to achieve the purpose of controlling the pattern or range being plated. The disadvantages of this method are: (1) the use of plastics with added metal compounds, the cost is higher than that of ordinary plastics, and (2) the use of expensive laser equipment for laser engraving, equipment costs and mass production costs are high.

Therefore, it is indeed necessary to provide an improved molding method and its products to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks in the prior art.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an electroless plated product capable of controlling a pattern to be plated and a method of forming the same.

The electroplating product of the present invention can be realized by the following technical solutions: an electroless plating product, which is formed by a chemical method, the electroless plating product comprising an insulating member and a metal plating layer on the insulating member, and the metal plating layer comprises a pre-plating range formed by coating the catalyst. And chemical copper covering the coating catalyst.

The present invention can also be achieved by a molding method for molding the electroless plated product according to claim 1, wherein the main steps are as follows:

a. providing insulation;

b. The above insulating member is placed in a chemical solution for chemical stripping, and then the insulating member is chemically roughened;

c. Applying a coating catalyst on the insulating member to confirm the pre-plating range;

d. Electroless copper plating on the coating catalyst.

Compared with the prior art, the invention confirms the pre-plating range by using a coating catalyst on the insulating member, and can reduce the laser engraving equipment and reduce the manufacturing cost compared with the existing laser engraving technology, and the coating catalyst can also facilitate accurate determination. Control the structure of the pre-plated product.

The first figure is a schematic plan view of an insulating member of the electroless plated product of the present invention;

The second drawing is a schematic plan view of the insulating member of the electroless plating product of the present invention after coating;

The third figure is a schematic plan view of a semi-finished product of the electroless plated product of the present invention.

Referring to the first to third figures, the electroless plating method of the present invention mainly has the following steps:

a. Provide insulation 1 (as shown in the first figure);

b. The above insulating member is placed in a chemical solution for chemical stripping, and then the insulating member is chemically roughened;

c. The coating catalyst is used as the coating catalyst on the insulating member to confirm the pre-plating range 2 (refer to the second drawing). In the present embodiment, the pre-plating range is taken as an example of the "ten" frame;

d. Electroless copper plating 3 at the coating catalyst to form a semi-finished product (see Figure 3).

e. The coating of the catalytically shaped planar nanostructured palladium metal conductive layer in step c.

f. The coating catalyst in step c forms a nano-organic palladium metal conductive layer of a three-dimensional structure.

g. On the electroless copper plating in step d, steps such as thick copper plating, electroless nickel plating and electroless gold plating may be sequentially performed to form a finished product.

h. On the electroless copper plating in step d, steps such as electroplating copper, electroplating nickel and electroplating gold may be sequentially performed to form a finished product.

i. On the electroless copper plating in step d, steps such as electroplating copper and electroplating nickel may be sequentially performed.

j. Further electroplating a metal such as black nickel on the i step.

k. Further electroplating gold and other metals in the i step.

Among them, the chemical roughening system forms a microscopic rough structure on the surface of the insulating member to improve the bonding force between the subsequent metal plating layer and the insulating member. In the step g to k, since the metal element is not plated on the portion of the insulating member where the catalyst is not coated, the plating range of the subsequent metal plating can be effectively controlled during the coating of the catalyst, and the prior art does not need to pass. The laser engraving equipment determines the pre-plating range and effectively reduces the manufacturing cost.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 again, an electroless plating product formed by the chemical method of the present invention comprises an insulating member 1 and a metal plating layer on the insulating member, and the metal plating layer comprises a pre-plating formed by coating the catalyst. Range 2 and chemical copper 3 overlying the coating catalyst. And the insulating member is chemically roughened at least in the pre-plating range region.
