Definitions
- the present invention relates to a highly flexible copper-clad laminate wherein a copper foil is laminated onto a polyimide film.
- a polyimide film has been used for a laminated sheet, a flexible printed-circuit board and so forth, because of its excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, mechanical strength, electric properties and so on.
- a commonly used flexible printed circuit board is a copper-clad laminate wherein a copper foil is laminated on one side or both sides of a polyimide film (Patent documents 1-3).
- a polyimide film used generally has a thickness of about 25 ⁇ m as the Examples in Patent documents 1-3.
- a copper-clad laminate typically a substrate for electronic parts, requires excellent mechanical properties and higher flexibility.
- a copper-clad laminate is applied to a hinge, it is needed to be highly flexible.
- a conventional copper-clad laminate comprising a polyimide film with a thickness of about 25 ⁇ m may not be adequately flexible.
- a polyimide film may not have sufficiently adhesive properties.
- it undergoes surface processing such as alkaline treatment, corona treatment, sandblasting and low-temperature plasma treatment, for example.
- surface processing such as alkaline treatment, corona treatment, sandblasting and low-temperature plasma treatment, for example.
- these methods require the use of an adhesive other than a polyimide, for example, an epoxy resin adhesive, leading to deterioration in heat resistance of the flexible substrate as a whole.
- thermocompression-bonding multilayer polyimide film wherein thin layers of a thermoplastic polyimide are laminated on both sides of a heat-resistant polyimide layer.
- thermocompression-bonding multilayer polyimide film has a smooth surface, it has a larger friction against a roll, for example, during film formation in which the film is winded onto a wind-up roll or during lamination with a copper foil, causing troubles such as wrinkle formation and twisting around a roll, which may restrict winding. Accordingly, there are needs to improve the surface slipping property of a polyimide film.
- Examples of a method used for improving surface slipping property of a polyimide film include surface treatment such as embossing, and methods to reduce a surface friction coefficient by dispersing an inorganic powder such as calcium phosphate (Patent document 1) and silica (Patent document 2) in a polyimide film to form minute protrusions on the film surface.
- an inorganic powder such as calcium phosphate (Patent document 1) and silica (Patent document 2)
- Patent document 3 a method for manufacturing a polyimide film, by flow casting, from a solution of a polyamic acid polymerized in a solvent in which a fine inorganic filler is dispersed
- the first method of surface treatment has a drawback that the appearance of the film is apt to be impaired due to excessive roughness formed of the film surface.
- the second method wherein an inorganic powder is mixed with a solution of a polyamic acid to prepare a polyimide film, it is difficult to disperse the inorganic powder in the polyamic acid solution homogeneously, without using a special dispersing device.
- undispersed inorganic powder may remain as a lump, and thereby a prominent protrusion may be formed on the surface of the film obtained.
- the third method similarly, it is difficult to disperse a fine-particulate inorganic powder homogeneously, and the use of an inorganic powder with a larger particle size may lead to the same problem as that encountered in the second method.

- Patent document 2 Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication No. 1987-68853;
- Patent document 3 Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication No. 1994-145378.
- An objective of the present invention is to provide a highly flexible copper-clad laminate. Another objective of the present invention is to provide a highly flexible copper-clad laminate exhibiting improved slipping property and sliding property of a polyimide film surface and having satisfactory appearance.
- the present invention relates to the followings.
- a copper-clad laminate prepared by laminating a copper foil on one side or both sides of a polyimide film by thermocompression bonding, wherein
- the polyimide film has a thickness of 5 to 20 ⁇ m
- the copper foil has a thickness of 1 to 18 ⁇ m.
- the polyimide film comprises a heat-resistant polyimide layer and a thermoplastic polyimide layer;
- the copper foil is laminated on one side or both sides of the heat-resistant polyimide layer via the thermoplastic polyimide layer by thermocompression bonding.
- Ratio of tensile strength after heat treatment(%) [(tensile strength after heat treatment)/(tensile strength before heat treatment)] ⁇ 100 (1)
- a copper-clad laminate prepared by peeling off the carrier from the copper-clad laminate as described in [8] and then plating it with copper to a thickness of the copper foil of 5 to 8 ⁇ m.
- thermoplastic polyimide layer has polyimide particles with a median size of 0.3 to 0.8 ⁇ m and the maximum size of 2 ⁇ m or less dispersed within at least a depth of 0.5 ⁇ m from its surface in a ratio of about 0.5 to 10% by weight relative to the polyimide in the polyimide surface layer, and is substantially free from an inorganic powder, and
- the polyimide film has a friction coefficient of 0.05 to 0.7.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a highly flexible copper-clad laminate wherein a copper foil is laminated onto a polyimide film.
- A polyimide film has been used for a laminated sheet, a flexible printed-circuit board and so forth, because of its excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance, mechanical strength, electric properties and so on.
- For example, a commonly used flexible printed circuit board (FPC) is a copper-clad laminate wherein a copper foil is laminated on one side or both sides of a polyimide film (Patent documents 1-3). A polyimide film used generally has a thickness of about 25 μm as the Examples in Patent documents 1-3.
- At present, a copper-clad laminate, typically a substrate for electronic parts, requires excellent mechanical properties and higher flexibility. In particular, when a copper-clad laminate is applied to a hinge, it is needed to be highly flexible. However, a conventional copper-clad laminate comprising a polyimide film with a thickness of about 25 μm may not be adequately flexible.
- Furthermore, a polyimide film may not have sufficiently adhesive properties. For improving its adhesiveness, it undergoes surface processing such as alkaline treatment, corona treatment, sandblasting and low-temperature plasma treatment, for example. Although being effective for improving adhesiveness, however, these methods require the use of an adhesive other than a polyimide, for example, an epoxy resin adhesive, leading to deterioration in heat resistance of the flexible substrate as a whole.
- Thus, there has been proposed, as a polyimide film, a thermocompression-bonding multilayer polyimide film wherein thin layers of a thermoplastic polyimide are laminated on both sides of a heat-resistant polyimide layer.
- However, when this thermocompression-bonding multilayer polyimide film has a smooth surface, it has a larger friction against a roll, for example, during film formation in which the film is winded onto a wind-up roll or during lamination with a copper foil, causing troubles such as wrinkle formation and twisting around a roll, which may restrict winding. Accordingly, there are needs to improve the surface slipping property of a polyimide film.
- Examples of a method used for improving surface slipping property of a polyimide film include surface treatment such as embossing, and methods to reduce a surface friction coefficient by dispersing an inorganic powder such as calcium phosphate (Patent document 1) and silica (Patent document 2) in a polyimide film to form minute protrusions on the film surface. Alternatively, there has been proposed a method for manufacturing a polyimide film, by flow casting, from a solution of a polyamic acid polymerized in a solvent in which a fine inorganic filler is dispersed (Patent document 3).
- However, the first method of surface treatment has a drawback that the appearance of the film is apt to be impaired due to excessive roughness formed of the film surface. In the second method wherein an inorganic powder is mixed with a solution of a polyamic acid to prepare a polyimide film, it is difficult to disperse the inorganic powder in the polyamic acid solution homogeneously, without using a special dispersing device. Thus, in this method, undispersed inorganic powder may remain as a lump, and thereby a prominent protrusion may be formed on the surface of the film obtained. In the third method, similarly, it is difficult to disperse a fine-particulate inorganic powder homogeneously, and the use of an inorganic powder with a larger particle size may lead to the same problem as that encountered in the second method.
- Therefore, when these methods in which inorganic fillers are added are applied to a copper-clad laminate for a COF requiring a fine pattern, a protrusion on a thermoplastic polyimide surface may hinder the formation of fine pitches.

- Patent document 2: Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication No. 1987-68853;

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a highly flexible copper-clad laminate exhibiting improved slipping property and sliding property of a polyimide film surface and having satisfactory appearance.

-
Ratio of tensile strength after heat treatment(%)=[(tensile strength after heat treatment)/(tensile strength before heat treatment)]×100 (1) - A copper-clad laminate of the present invention is prepared by laminating a copper foil with a thickness of 1 to 18 μm on one side or both sides of a polyimide film with a thickness of 5 to 20 μm by thermocompression bonding. A thickness of the polyimide film is preferably 5 to 15 μm. The copper foil is preferably a rolled copper foil with a thickness of 12 μm or less, particularly 10 to 12 μm. By making the polyimide film and the copper foil thinner as above, the very high flexibility may be achieved. For example, when a thickness of the polyimide film was reduced from 25 μm to 15 μm, an MIT folding endurance was approximately doubled or more in both MD and TD. When a thickness of the copper foil was reduced from 18 μm to 12 μm without changing a thickness of the polyimide film, an MIT folding endurance was increased in both MD and TD.
- Particularly, when a copper foil used is a rolled copper foil having a tensile strength before heat treatment of 300 N/mm2 or more, and a ratio of tensile strength after heat treatment at 180° C. for 1 hour as defined by the above equation (1) of 33% or less, the flexibility may be improved more significantly by making the polyimide film and the copper foil thinner.
- A copper-clad laminate of the present invention preferably has an MIT folding endurance of about 2000 times or more in both MD and TD, and the MIT folding endurance can be increased to about 3000 times or more, about 3700 times or more, about 4000 times or more, about 5000 times or more, and furthermore about 7000 times or more by selecting thicknesses of the polyimide film and the copper foil, and the type of the copper foil.
- On the other hand, when the copper foil and the polyimide film are thinner, there may be formed wrinkles in a part contacting a roller during the lamination step for preparing a long copper-clad laminate, leading to a reduced yield due to defective appearance after lamination. Particularly, when using a thin polyimide film having a thickness of 25 μm or less, it is difficult to continuously manufacture a copper-clad laminate in the light of feeding properties.
- A thermocompression-bonding multilayer polyimide film having a thermoplastic polyimide layer in which polyimide particles are dispersed on one side or both sides of a heat-resistant polyimide layer may be used as a polyimide film, to improve slipping property of the surface of the polyimide film and to eliminate defective appearance such as wrinkles in the copper-clad laminate obtained as checked over the whole length. Particularly, the thermoplastic polyimide layer preferably contains polyimide particles with a median size of 0.3 to 0.8 μm and the maximum size of 2 μm or less dispersed within at least a depth of 0.5 μm, more preferably 0.7 μm from its surface in a ratio of about 0.5 to 10% by weight relative to the polyimide in the polyimide surface layer, and does not contain an inorganic powder substantially. When using this polyimide film with a thickness of 25 μm or less, a copper-clad laminate without any defect in appearance may be obtained.

FIG. 2 shows the SEM photographic observations (×2000) of the surface of the polyimide film prepared in Reference Example 2. - A polyimide film used in the present invention has a thickness of 5 to 20 μm. A thickness of the polyimide film is preferably 5 to 18 μm, more preferably 5 to 15 μm. Using a thin polyimide film having a thickness of 20 μm or less, preferably 18 μm or less, particularly 15 μm or less, the flexibility of a copper-clad laminate is significantly improved. This effect is not limited to a particular polyimide film, but can be achieved in any polyimide film.
- Examples of a polyimide film may include, but not limited to, polyimide films used as a material for electronic parts such as a printed circuit board, a flexible printed-circuit board and a TAB tape, and polyimides prepared from an acid component and a diamine component in the above polyimide film, or containing an acid component and a diamine component in the above polyimide film.
- A polyimide film used in the present invention preferably has at least one of the following properties.

Specifically, when using a copper foil as a metal foil, a thermal expansion coefficient of the polyimide film is preferably 5×10−6 to 28×10−6 cm/cm/° C., more preferably 9×10−6 to 20×10−6 cm/cm/° C., further preferably 12×10−6 to 18×10−6 cm/cm/° C.
- 3) A tensile modulus (MD, ASTM-D882) is 300 kg/mm2 or more, preferably 500 kg/mm2 or more, further preferably 700 kg/mm2 or more.
- Preferable examples of the polyimide film include polyimide films comprising a heat-resistant polyimide layer and a thermoplastic polyimide layer, and thermocompression-bonding multilayer polyimide films having a thermoplastic polyimide layer on one side or both sides of a heat-resistant polyimide layer. The thermoplastic polyimide layer gives a surface on which a copper foil is thermocompression-bonded; and therefore, the polyimide film used for a double-sided copper-clad laminate has a thermoplastic polyimide layer on both sides of a heat-resistant polyimide layer, while the polyimide film used for a single-sided copper-clad laminate has a thermoplastic polyimide layer on one side of a heat-resistant polyimide layer.
- A glass transition temperature of the polyimide in the thermoplastic polyimide layer is lower than that of the heat-resistant polyimide, preferably 170 to 370° C., more preferably 170 to 320° C., particularly preferably 190 to 300° C.
- The heat-resistant polyimide layer preferably has a thickness of about 3 to 18 μm, and the thermoplastic polyimide layer preferably has a thickness of about 1 to 6 μm.
- The polyimide in the heat-resistant polyimide layer has a glass transition temperature higher than that of the thermoplastic polyimide layer, preferably 300° C. or higher, more preferably 320° C. or higher, and particularly preferably, it is a highly heat-resistant polyimide whose glass transition temperature is undetectable at 350° C. or higher.
- As described above, although a reduction in thickness of the polyimide film may lead to the excellent flexibility, it may lead to more defects in appearance, including wrinkles, of the copper-clad laminate obtained. In view of improving slipping property of the polyimide film surface and enhancing the appearance of the copper-clad laminate, it is preferable that polyimide particles are dispersed in the surface of the polyimide film or the thermoplastic polyimide layer. Particularly preferably, polyimide particles with a median size of 0.3 to 0.8 μm and the maximum size of 2 μm or less are dispersed within at least a depth of 0.5 μm, preferably 0.7 μm from the surface of the polyimide film or the thermoplastic polyimide layer, in a ratio of about 0.5 to 10% by weight relative to the polyimide in the polyimide surface layer. The surface of the polyimide film or the thermoplastic polyimide layer may contain or be substantially free from an inorganic powder.
- A thermocompression-bonding multilayer polyimide film in which a thermoplastic polyimide layer contains polyimide particles can be prepared by, for example, the following process. First, by coextrusion-flow casting method, on a support are flow-casted a polyamic acid solution composition containing a polyamic acid which gives a thermoplastic polyimide having a glass transition temperature of 170 to 320° C. and the polyimide particles described above, and a polyamic acid solution containing a polyamic acid which gives a polyimide core layer made of a heat-resistant polyimide (heat-resistant polyimide layer), such that the total thickness may be 5 to 20 μm, and then it is dried to form a self-supporting film. The self-supporting film thus obtained may be removed from the support, and heated for solvent removal and imidization to give a polyimide film. A content of the polyamic acid in the polyamic acid solution composition for the thermoplastic polyimide layer may be 16 to 22% by weight, while a content of the polyimide particles may be 0.5 to 10% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 5% by weight relative to the polyamic acid. A content of the polyamic acid in the polyamic acid solution for the heat-resistant polyimide layer may be 16 to 22% by weight.
- Alternatively, a thermocompression-bonding multilayer polyimide film in which a thermoplastic polyimide layer contains polyimide particles may be prepared as follows. First, on a support is flow-casted a polyamic acid solution which gives a polyimide core layer made of a heat-resistant polyimide (heat-resistant polyimide layer), and then it is dried to form a self-supporting film. Its final thickness is preferably about 3 to 18 μm. Next, on at least one side of the resulting self-supporting film is applied a polyamic acid solution composition for a surface layer containing a polyamic acid which gives a thermoplastic polyimide having a glass transition temperature of 170 to 370° C. and the polyimide particles described above in a ratio of 0.5 to 10% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 5% by weight relative to the polyamic acid, such that the thickness after drying may be about 1 μm or more, and then it is dried. If necessary, the polyamic acid solution composition for a surface layer is applied to another surface such that the thickness after drying may be about 1 μm or more. Then, it is heated for solvent removal and imidization to give a polyimide film.
- A thermocompression-bonding multilayer polyimide film in which a thermoplastic polyimide layer does not contain polyimide particles can be prepared as described above, except that the polyimide particles are not added to the polyamic acid solution composition for a surface layer, and a content of the polyamic acid is adjusted as appropriate.

In general, the aromatic diamine component and the aromatic tetracarboxylic acid component may be added to a polar solvent such that the mixture contains a polyimide in 3 to 10% by weight. As polyimide particles, the mixture solution thus obtained may be preferably used without any treatment, or used after removing or adding the polar solvent, if necessary.
- The wholly aromatic polyimide particles with a median size of 0.3 to 0.8 μm and the maximum size of 2 μm or less may be easily prepared when using an aromatic diamine component comprising at least 80% of p-phenylenediamine, and an aromatic tetracarboxylic acid component comprising at least 80% of pyromellitic acid dianhydride. When using the polyimide particles having a particle size within the above range, it is easy to form minute protrusions in the surface of the thermoplastic polyimide layer, which is suitable for a copper-clad laminate required to have a fine pattern.
- The term “median size” as used herein means a particle size corresponding to 50% accumulative value in a cumulative distribution curve.
- Therefore, the polyimide particles may be spherical, or alternatively cylindrical, dumbbell-shaped or oval with a ratio of the major axis to the minor axis of about 2 to 10, particularly about 3 to 6. When they are cylindrical, dumbbell-shaped or oval, they preferably have a minor axis of 0.05 to 0.5 μm and a major axis of 0.7 to 1.5 μm.
- When a copper-clad laminate does not need to have a fine pattern, wholly aromatic polyimide particles with a median size of 0.3 to 10 μm can be used.
- The above constitution can provide a thermocompression-bonding multilayer polyimide film having the improved slipping property; which comprises a substantially inorganic powder-free polyimide surface layer made of a thermoplastic polyimide having a glass transition temperature of 170 to 320° C., particularly 190 to 300° C.; and has a static friction coefficient and a dynamic friction coefficient of 0.05 to 0.7, preferably 0.1 to 0.7; and does not have any prominent protrusions formed on the film surface.
- A thermocompression-bonding multilayer polyimide film used in the present invention has at least one thermal-adhesive side, and a thickness of 5 to 20 μm. By combining the polyimide film having a thickness of 5 to 20 μm with a copper foil having a thickness of 18 μm or less, there can be provided a copper-clad laminate having improved flexibility and exhibiting MIT folding endurance of about 2000 times or more, preferably in both MD and TD.
- Furthermore, when a thermocompression-bonding multilayer polyimide film has a thermoplastic polyimide layer containing the polyimide particles, the slipping property of the surface of the polyimide film is so improved to give a long copper-clad laminate which can be readily winded onto a wind-up roll at a rate of 1 m/min or higher and which has no defect in appearance including wrinkles as checked over the whole length. For obtaining a copper-clad laminate having good appearance, it is effective to use a thermocompression-bonding multilayer polyimide film having a thermoplastic polyimide layer containing the polyimide particles, without being restricted to a thickness of 20 μm or less.
- A copper foil used in the present invention has a thickness of 1 to 18 μm, particularly 3 to 18 μm. A thickness of the copper foil is preferably 12 μm or less.
- A copper foil may be a rolled copper foil, an electrolytic copper foil, or the like, and when using a rolled copper foil, a superior copper-clad laminate may be obtained. Alternatively, a copper foil with a carrier can be used.
- A preferable range of a thickness of a copper foil depends on the type of the copper foil used. For a rolled copper foil, a thickness is preferably 8 to 18 μm, more preferably 10 to 18 μm, particularly preferably 10 to 12 μm. For an electrolytic copper foil, a thickness is preferably 7 to 12 μm, more preferably 9 to 12 μm.
- A copper foil preferably has an Rz, which indicates surface roughness, of 3 μm or less, more preferably 2 μm or less, particularly preferably 0.5 to 1.5 μm. When an Rz is small, a copper foil may be used after surface treatment.
- Examples of such a copper foil may include a rolled copper foil (Microhard Corporation, VSBK, 18 μm), a rolled copper foil (Microhard Corporation, VSRD, 12 μm), a rolled copper foil (Hitachi Cable, Ltd., HPF-ST12-E, 12 μm), a rolled copper foil (Nikko Materials Co., Ltd., BHY-13H-T, 18 μm), a rolled copper foil (Nikko Materials Co., Ltd., BHY-22B-T, 12 μm), a rolled copper foil (Fukuda Metal Foil & Powder Co., Ltd., RCF-T4X, 12 μm), a rolled copper foil (Hitachi Cable, Ltd., HPF-ST10-E, 10 μm), a rolled copper foil (Nikko Materials Co., Ltd., BHY-13H-HA, 18 μm), a rolled copper foil (Nikko Materials Co., Ltd., BHY-22B-HA, 12 μm), an electrolytic copper foil (Nippon Denkai, Ltd., HLB, 12 μm), an electrolytic copper foil (Nippon Denkai, Ltd., HLB, 9 μm) and an electrolytic copper foil (Nippon Denkai, Ltd., HLS, 9 μm).
- A preferable rolled copper foil has a tensile strength before heat treatment of 300 N/mm2 or more, and a ratio of tensile strength after heat treatment at 180° C. for 1 hour as defined by the above equation (1) of 33% or less. When using such a rolled copper foil, a highly flexible copper-clad laminate may be obtained, and the marked effect of the present invention may be achieved, that is, thinning of a polyimide and a copper foil may more remarkably improve flexibility. Examples of such a rolled copper foil may include a rolled copper foil (Nikko Materials Co., Ltd., BHY-13H-HA) and a rolled copper foil (Nikko Materials Co., Ltd., BHY-22B-HA).
- A preferable electrolytic copper foil has a tensile strength before heat treatment of 300 N/mm2 or more, and a ratio of tensile strength after heat treatment at 180° C. for 1 hour as defined by the above equation (1) of 60% or less.
- A preferable copper foil with a carrier is that prepared by bonding an ultrathin copper foil having a thickness of 1 to 5 μm to a metallic or ceramic carrier with a heat-resistant bonding agent. An example of the carrier may be a copper foil having a thickness of about 12 to 35 μm, particularly 12 to 18 μm. A specific example of the ultrathin copper foil with a carrier may be an electrolytic copper foil with a carrier (Nippon Denkai, Ltd., YSNAP-3B, thin copper foil thickness: 3 μm, carrier copper foil thickness: 18 μm).
- A copper foil with a carrier is used after peeling off the carrier from the copper-clad laminate obtained, and then thickening the copper foil to a given level, for example 5 to 8 μm, by electrolytic plating.
- A copper-clad laminate of the present invention is prepared by laminating a copper foil with a thickness of 1 to 18 μm on one side or both sides of a polyimide film with a thickness of 5 to 20 μm described above by thermocompression bonding. By combining the polyimide film having a thickness of 5 to 20 μm with a copper foil having a thickness of 1 to 18 μm, there can be provided a copper-clad laminate having the improved flexibility and exhibiting an MIT folding endurance of about 2000 times or more, preferably in both MD and TD.
- A copper-clad laminate of the present invention preferably has a total thickness of 51 μm or less, particularly preferably 39 μm or less for a double-sided copper-clad laminate. It is preferably 33 μm or less, particularly preferably 27 μm or less for a single-sided copper-clad laminate.
- A copper-clad laminate of the present invention can be prepared by laminating a copper foil on one side or both sides of a thermocompression-bonding multilayer polyimide film by thermocompression bonding or thermocompression bonding-cooling under pressure, using a continuous laminating machine such as a laminating rolls and a double-bolt press, for example.
- It is preferable to pre-heat a thermocompression-bonding multilayer polyimide film alone, or alternatively, a thermocompression-bonding multilayer polyimide film and a copper foil at about 150 to 250° C., particularly at a temperature higher than 150° C. and below 250° C. for about 2 to 120 sec in line immediately before introducing into a continuous laminating machine. Pre-heating can be conducted using a pre-heater such as a hot-air blower and an infrared heating unit. The term “in line” means an apparatus arrangement that a pre-heater is placed between a feeder of a raw material and a thermocompression-bonding unit in a continuous laminating machine such that thermocompression bonding is conducted immediately after pre-heating. It is also preferable to place a protective material between a thermocompression-bonding multilayer polyimide film and/or a copper foil and a belt or a roller during lamination. In this way, a copper foil can be laminated on at least one side of a heat-resistant polyimide layer via a thermocompression-bonding polyimide layer, to give a copper-clad laminate without any defect in product-appearance which has high dimensional stability (dimensional stability is 0.1% or less).
- The above-described double-belt press is a laminating machine capable of conducting high-temperature heating-cooling under pressure, and a hydraulic-press type using a heat medium is preferable.
- In-line pre-heating allows prevention of a decrease in a product yield due to defects in appearance of a laminate caused by foaming by water absorbed from the air into a polyimide after lamination, or foaming when immersed in a solder bath for forming an electronic circuit. Although it might be contemplated that a whole laminating machine is placed in a furnace, it is impractical because it is substantially limited to a compact laminating machine, leading to the restriction on the shape of the copper-clad laminate. If out-line pre-heating may be conducted, a polyimide may absorb water before lamination, leading to defective appearance of a laminate caused by foaming and reduction in solder heat-resistance.
- A copper-clad laminate of the present invention may be preferably prepared by conducting the thermocompression bonding under pressure while a temperature in a heating and compression-bonding zone of a roll laminator or double-belt press is higher by 20° C. or more than a glass transition temperature of a thermocompression-bonding polyimide (in the above multilayer polyimide film, the polyimide in the thermoplastic polyimide layer) and below 400° C., particularly higher by 30° C. or more than the glass transition temperature and below 400° C., and then, in the case of a double-belt press, cooling the product under pressure in a cooling zone to a temperature lower by 20° C. or more, particularly by 30° C. or more than the glass transition temperature of the thermocompression-bonding polyimide, to laminate the copper foil on one side or both sides of the polyimide film.
- When a product is a single-sided copper-clad laminate having a metal foil on one side of a polyimide film, a protective material can be used, and a protective material may be laminated on the side of the polyimide film without a thermocompression-bonding polyimide layer and a copper foil, and after lamination, the protective material may be removed from the laminate and rolled up, or alternatively the product may be rolled up together with the protective material which is removed before use. Examples of a protective material used may include an easily peelable and highly heat-resistant film, for example, a highly heat-resistant film with an Rz of less than 2 μm, and a metal foil. The preferable protective materials may include a highly heat-resistant resin film such as a polyimide film (for example, Ube Industries, Ltd., UPILEX-S) and a fluororesin film, and a metal foil such as a rolled copper foil having the improved surface smoothness with minimal surface roughness.
- By thermocompression bonding-cooling under pressure using a double-belt press to lamination, in particular, preferably a drawing rate can be 1 m/min or more, and there can be provided a long and wide copper-clad laminate having a width of about 400 mm or more, particularly about 500 mm or more, and high adhesive strength (90° peel strength: 0.7 N/mm or more, particularly 1 N/mm or more) and such good appearance that substantially no wrinkles are observed in the metal foil surface. When using a double-belt press, a copper-clad laminate obtained has the improved uniformity of dimensional change, and preferably, a percentage of dimensional-change is 0.1% or less at room temperature (merely drying after etching) and 150° C. (heating after etching) in both MD and TD as an average of L, C and R in the width direction (the left end, the center and the right end, respectively, in the direction that the film is wound off).
- In an aspect of the present invention, a polyimide film and a copper foil are separately fed into a roll laminator or double-belt press as a rolled sheet, and a copper-clad laminate is obtained as a rolled sheet.
- A copper-clad laminate provided by the present invention can be used as a substrate for electronic parts after various processings such as rolling up, etching and optionally uncurling, and subsequently cutting into a given size. For example, it may be suitably used as a substrate for an FPC, a multilayer FPC and a flex-rigid substrate. In particular, a multilayer substrate meeting the requirements of higher heat resistance, lower water absorption, lower dielectric constant and improved electric properties can be provided, by bonding a plurality of (for example, 2 to 10 layers) single-sided copper-clad laminates (the total thickness is 8 to 38 μm) or double-sided copper-clad laminates (the total thickness is 11 to 56 μm) in which a copper foil has a thickness of 3 to 18 μm and a polyimide film layer has a thickness of 5 to 20 μm, with a heat-resistant polyimide adhesive (thickness: 5 to 12 μm).
- A copper-clad laminate of the present invention include a laminate obtained by cutting a long one into a given size (reducing a width or length) as well as a long laminate.
- A copper-clad laminate of the present invention may be prepared by a known method other than the above lamination method. For example, it can be prepared by any of the following methods.
- (1) On a copper foil is flow-casted or applied a solution of a polyamic acid as a polyimide precursor, and then, if necessary, it is dried and/or imidized and then, if necessary, heated.

- (3) On a copper foil is flow-casted or applied a solution of a thermoplastic polyimide precursor, and then, if necessary, it is dried and/or imidized, and subsequently, on the thermoplastic polyimide layer is flow-casted or applied a solution of a heat-resistant polyimide precursor, and then, if necessary, it is dried and/or imidized, and subsequently, on the heat-resistant polyimide layer is flow-casted or applied a solution of a thermoplastic polyimide precursor, and then, if necessary, it is dried and/or imidized and then, if necessary, heated.
- In addition, a copper-clad laminate prepared by further laminating a copper foil on the one-side laminated polyimide film obtained by the above methods (1) to (3), and a laminate prepared by laminating two of one-side laminated polyimide films obtained by the above methods (1) to (3), for example (1) and (2), (1) and (1), and (2) and (2), can be used.
- In this specification, a friction coefficient of a polyimide film, which indicates slipping property, is evaluated as follows.
- In accordance with the method described in ASTM-D1894, a friction coefficient is determined by a dynamic slip tester (load: 200 g, sliding rate: 150 mm/min), using, as a substrate, one side of a moisture-controlled polyimide film maintained at 23° C. and 60% RH for 24 hours, which are attached to a sled metal (6 cm×6 cm) such that the same side may be joined together.

In terms of sampling, 10 test pieces are prepared from the whole width, and an average of the measured values for these is determined to be an MIT folding endurance.

A slurry solution obtained in the preparation of the particulate polyimide is subjected to dispersion by an ultrasonic cleaner for 60 min. In a measurement cell is placed a dispersion medium, to which is then added drop by drop the dispersed slurry solution for dilution so that the transmission of the laser beam lamp is 95 to 75%. And then, the determination is conducted by manual batch cell measurement.

The particle-size distribution of the particulate polyimide obtained was determined by a laser diffraction/scattering particle-size distribution measurement device, and as a result, the median size was 0.3 μm and the distribution range was 0.1 to 1 μm. Furthermore, the shape of the particulate polyimide was determined by SEM observation, and as a result, they were cylindrical particles with a ratio of a major axis to a minor axis of 3 to 6.

(a dope for a heat-resistant polyimide). Separately, to N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone were added 1,3-bis(4-aminophenoxy) benzene (TPE-R) and 2,3,3′,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (a-BPDA) in a molar ratio of 1000:1000 such that a monomer concentration was 22%, and further was added triphenyl phosphate in 0.1% by weight relative to the monomers, and then the mixture was reacted at 5° C. for one hour.

- A copper-clad laminate was prepared by laminating the polyimide film having a thickness of 15 μm obtained in Reference Example 4 and a set of two rolled copper foils (Nikko Materials Co., Ltd., BHY-13H-T, thickness: 18 μm) by thermocompression bonding as described below.
- The polyimide film, which was pre-heated by hot air at 200° C. for 30 sec in line immediately before a double-belt press, and the rolled-up copper foils were laminated by continuous thermocompression bonding-cooling under the conditions of a heating zone temperature (the highest heating temperature): 330° C., a cooling zone temperature (the lowest cooling temperature): 180° C., a thermocompression-bonding pressure: 3.9 MPa, and a thermocompression-bonding time: 2 min; and the copper-clad laminate as a rolled-up double-sided copper-clad laminate (width: 540 mm, length: 1000 m) was winded onto a wind-up roll.
- For the copper-clad laminate thus obtained, its MIT folding endurance was determined.
- MIT folding endurance is determined in accordance with JIS C6471; specifically, it is the number of folding times when an electric resistance increases by 100% from an initial value under the conditions of a curvature radius of 0.8 mm, a load of 4.9 N, a folding speed of 175 times/min and a right and left folding angle of 135° using a copper-clad laminate having a copper circuit formed on one side as defined in the above test method. In terms of sampling, 10 test pieces are prepared from the whole width, and an average of the measured values for these is determined to be an MIT folding endurance.
- The rolled copper foil used had a tensile strength before heat treatment of 450 N/mm2 in MD and 433 N/mm2 in TD, and a ratio of tensile strength after heat treatment at 180° C. for 1 hour as defined by the above equation (1) of 43% in MD and 40% in TD.
