Especially, the substractive process requires a longer etching step of the copper layer. These methods have some drawbacks: 1) the copper layer in the substractive process must be introduced to a whole space of the substrate, whether or not circuit lines are formed, so that it becomes costly and low efficient, and 2) these processes require the steps of providing a photoresist film and removing it later, so that the manufacturing time becomes longer and the manufacturing process becomes complicate and inefficient. Further, these processes cannot provide fine circuit lines.
- To overcome the drawbacks associated with above mentioned conventional processes, a method for forming fine circuit lines is suggested by an ink-jet process, which forms circuit lines by applying a conductive ink on a substrate in accordance with a circuit pattern. The method for forming fine circuit lines by the ink-jet process does not require a photoresist film or an etching step, and can form fine circuit lines. However, it also has a drawback that a bonding power between the substrate and the circuit lines is weak, so that it deteriorates an electric reliability.

The laser process requires an extra apparatus of generating the laser beam which is expensive and the extra steps for forming and removing the waterproofing layer, so that it becomes inconvenient and inefficient. - It would therefore be desirable to have an improved method for forming fine circuit lines and printed circuit board made thereby.

- A nozzle size of the ink-jet printer head for the surface treatment may be smaller than that of the ink-jet printer head for the conductive ink or discharging frequencies of the ink-jet printer head for the surface treatment and the ink-jet printer head for the conductive ink may be different.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the nozzle diameter of the ink-jet printer head for the surface treatment is smaller than the nozzle diameter of the ink-jet printer head for the conductive ink by from 1 to 20 μm.

- The method of the surface treatment for forming conductive circuit lines can be divided broadly by a dry method and a wetting method. The wetting method is generally used compared to the dry method because of ease reaction and low cost. Due to rapid surface treatment of the wetting method, there has been a great deal of development research on alkali treatments using an alkali solution.
- In accordance with a preferred embodiment, in case that the base film is a polyimide film and the surface treatment solution is a KOH solution, it will describe reactions which can occur on the surface of the substrate.
- Referring to Chemical Equation 1, when a polyimid film is treated with a KOH alkali solution, the polyimid ring is opened by hydrolysis.
- The opened-polyimid ring is then unstable, so that it reacts again with KOH. Referring to Chemical Equation 2, the opened-polyimide in Chemical Equation 1 becomes polyamate by an acid-base reaction.

- After applying the ink, the substrate is cured under a reduction atmosphere. In case that hydrochloric acid is used as a reduction condition, the reaction as Chemical Equation 3 may occur on the surface of the film.

Also, it does not require photo-resistor or elimination of water repellent film, so that it allows simple and low-cost surface treatment. It further allows selective surface treatment in accordance with fine circuit lines by controlling nozzle size of an ink-jet printer or discharging frequency of an ink-jet printer head.

ReferringFIG. 3 , the surface treatment solution is discharged on thebase film 210 in accordance with thepreset circuit pattern 261 by the ink-jet printer including the ink-jet printer head for thesurface treatment 230. The surface treatedcircuit lines 263 was then formed on thebase film 210. Aconductive ink 270 which includes metal nanoparticles is discharged on the surface treatedcircuit lines 263 by an ink-jet printer including an ink-jet printer head for theconductive ink 250. The circuit lines 265 applied with the conductive ink is then formed on thebase film 210. -
FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of circuit lines, before curing, formed in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention andFIG. 5 shows a cross-sectional view of circuit lines, before curing, formed in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring toFIG. 4 andFIG. 5 , asurface treatment solution 280 layer is formed on thebase film 210 and aconductive ink 270 layer is then formed on thesurface treatment solution 280 layer. Thesurface treatment solution 280 layer forms the surface treatedcircuit lines 263, by the ink-jet printer head for thesurface treatment 230. Theconductive ink 270 layer forms theconductive circuit lines 265, by the ink-jet printer head for theconductive ink 250.FIG. 4 shows that a drop size of thesurface treatment solution 280 on the surface of the base film is bigger than that of theconductive ink 270.FIG. 5 shows that a drop size of thesurface treatment solution 280 on the surface of the base film is smaller than that of theconductive ink 270. - After the surface treatment as described above, the
base film 210 having the conductive ink-dischargedcircuit lines 265 is cured under reduction atmosphere to produce conductive circuit lines. The step of curing can be performed by the general method in the field of the manufacturing printed circuit board, but is not limited to a particular method. - According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the surface treatment and discharging the conductive ink may be performed simultaneously by arrange the ink-jet printer head for the
surface treatment 230 and the ink-jet printer head for theconductive ink 250 in series. Here, the term of “performed simultaneously” means that not only thesurface treatment solution 280 and theconductive ink 270 can be discharged at the same time, but also thesurface treatment solution 280 and theconductive ink 270 can be discharged in accordance with a preset program by employing a plurality of ink-jet printer heads. Referring toFIG. 3 , the ink-jet printer head for thesurface treatment 230 and the ink-jet printer head for theconductive ink 250 move by facing thebase film 210 and simultaneously discharge the surface treatment solution and the conductive ink, respectively, Herein, there may be an interval of time in discharging the ink-jet printer head for thesurface treatment 230 and the discharging of the ink-jet printer head for theconductive ink 250, to provide time for forming polyamates on the surface treated circuit lines by a reaction between alkali solution and polyimide. - The surface treatment solution and the conductive ink may simultaneously be discharged, respectively, through the ink-jet printer head for the
surface treatment 230 and the ink-jet printer head for theconductive ink 250 arranged by having a certain distance to provide time for forming polyamates on the surface treated circuit lines by a reaction between alkali solution and polyimide. - Such ink-jet printer head for the
surface treatment 230 and ink-jet printer head for theconductive ink 250 may be a head of an ink-jet printer apparatus for lines discharging. For example, the ink-jet printer apparatus lines may comprise a support which supports the apparatus; an ink-jet printer head which discharges the surface treatment solution and the conductive ink, respectively, along with apre-set circuit pattern 261 on the base film; a moving part which moves the ink-jet printer head on thebase film 210; a circuit part which performs a program to control discharging of inks along with the preset circuit pattern; and the like. - In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ink-jet printer head for the
surface treatment 230 and the ink-jet printer head for theconductive ink 250 moves together and simultaneously discharge the surface treatment solution and the conductive ink, respectively. Therefore, these ink-jet printer heads can discharge the surface treatment solution and the conductive ink, respectively, by moving together over the same path of the base film in accordance with the preset circuit pattern. When the ink-jet printer heads move, it is possible to control discharging position or discharging amount of the surface treatment solution and the conductive ink from each head, so that the surface treatment solution and the conductive ink may be discharged in accordance with the preset program. - In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ink-jet printer head for the
surface treatment 230 and the ink-jet printer head for theconductive ink 250 move individually in corresponding to a different moving control signal and may discharge the surface treatment solution and the conductive ink, respectively, That is, each ink-jet printer head may be equipped in one apparatus or separate apparatuses, and may be moved independently in corresponding to its own different moving control signal by different programs. - It is also possible to use simultaneously a plurality of the ink-jet printer heads of the
surface treatment 230 and a plurality of the ink-jet printer heads for theconductive ink 250. - Nozzle sizes of the ink-jet printer head of the
surface treatment 230 and the ink-jet printer head for theconductive ink 250 should be suitable to form fine circuit lines. Recently, there is a demand to be a diameter of the nozzle of the ink-jet printer head under several tens μm to form fine circuit lines which have the width under several tens μm. The nozzle diameter of the ink-jet printer head used in the present invention is from 1 to 80 μm, preferably about 20 μm. In case that the nozzle size is 80 μm or above, it is not suitable for forming the fine circuit lines. In case that the nozzle size is under 1 μm, it is difficult to discharge the surface treatment solution or the conductive ink. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , a drop size of the surface treatment solution is different from that of the conductive ink. Having same drop sizes of the surface treatment solution and the conductive ink is ideal. But, the drop size of the surface treatment solution is generally bigger than the drop size of the conductive ink due to different viscosities between the surface treatment solution and the conductive ink. If the drop size of the surface treatment solution is excessively bigger than the drop size of the conductive ink, it cannot form desired circuit lines because the conductive ink cannot be gathered lines. Referring toFIG. 5 , if the drop size of the surface treatment solution is excessively smaller than the drop size of the conductive ink, the conductive ink cannot bond stably to the substrate. Therefore, a diameter of the drop size of the surface treatment solution may preferably be from 0.6 to 1.5 times a diameter of the drop size of the conductive ink. - In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the nozzle size of the ink-jet printer head for the surface treatment may be smaller than the nozzle size of the ink-jet printer head for the conductive ink to allow a difference of the drop size between the surface treatment solution and the conductive ink to be in the above range. That is, the nozzle size of the ink-jet printer head for the
surface treatment 230 providing a bigger drop size can be reduced, so that the drop size of the surface treatment solution becomes smaller. According to a preferred embodiment, when the nozzle diameter of the ink-jet printer head for the surface treatment is smaller than the nozzle diameter of the ink-jet printer head for the conductive ink by from 1 to 20 μm, the drop size of the surface treatment solution can be in the range from 0.6 to 1.5 times to the drop size of the conductive ink. - In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the drop sizes of the surface treatment solution and the conductive ink may be controlled by employing different discharging frequencies to allow a difference of the drop size between the surface treatment solution and the conductive ink to be within the preferred range even if the nozzle sizes of diameter of the ink-jet printer head for the surface treatment and the ink-jet printer head for the conductive ink are identical.
- In accordance with the other preferred embodiment of the present invention, the difference of the drop size can be controlled by changing waveform shapes or waveform steps of discharging pressure or absorption pressure to allow a difference of the drop size between the surface treatment solution and the conductive ink to be within the preferred range.
- In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a dot number of the surface treatment solution and the conductive ink which is discharged respectively per 1 inch of the circuit pattern may be controlled to make a difference of the drop size between the surface treatment solution and the conductive ink.

FIG. 6 is a flow diagram illustrating a process of manufacturing a printed circuit board in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring toFIG. 6 , surface of thebase film 210 is cleaned for following steps in S205, and a circuit pattern is preset for next steps of surface treatment by means of a general method in this technical field. In S215, the surface treatment solution is selectively applied in accordance with the circuit pattern on the base film by a discharging method. This step is described in detail in the following embodiment. In S220, a conductive ink including nanoparticles is applied, so that the ink-appliedcircuit lines 265 is formed on the surface-treated one. This step is also described in detail in the following embodiment. In S225, the base film having circuit lines formed in S215 and S220 is cured under a reduction atmosphere. - A desired number of the substrate is laminated for forming multilayer printed circuit board, which includes copper layer or dielectric layer in S230. A soldering process forms a solder resist layer to prevent any undesired contact with external parts on the formed conductive circuit lines in S235. Symbol marks, for example part name and part position, are printed on the substrate in S240, and a final surface treatment such as a HASL process is performed in S245. A terminal is plated in S250, and hole and appearance treatment are performed to produce a printed circuit board in S255.
- Use of the printed circuit board (PCB) manufactured in accordance with the method of the present invention is not limited, and it may be used in manufacturing printed circuit boards which include a polyimide film such as a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB).
- Hereinafter, an embodiment of the method of surface treatment, the method for forming circuit lines, the printed circuit board formed thereby, and the apparatus for forming circuit lines on a substrate according to the present invention will be described in more detail with accordance to each condition of the steps.
- 1) Base Film
- A
base film 210 is generally an organic dielectric material. The organic dielectric material requires relatively high elasticity, lower hygroscopic swelling coefficient, and lower linear expansion coefficient. When the hygroscopic swelling coefficient of the organic dielectric material is high, a PCB manufactured by using such an organic dielectric material easily bends or produces curls with changes of external circumstances, such as temperature or humidity. FPCBs for PDP which have a wider area compared to other uses specially require a high dimensional stability of the base film. In order to use an organic dielectric material as the base film, it is preferred to have heat resistance, appropriate elasticity, flexibility, appropriate hygroscopic swelling coefficient, and appropriate linear expansion coefficient. The preferred organic dielectric material having such properties is polyimide, but not limited to it. - The method of the surface treatment of a substrate of the present invention is exampled for the base film used in FPCBs for PDP, but is not limited thereto. The base film may be used in circuit lines or method for forming circuit lines of substrates below to be described.
- 2) Surface Treatment Condition
- (1) Surface Treatment Solution and Additives
- Studies using alkali solutions as a surface treatment solution have been extensively increased. The alkali solution includes an alkali metal (that is elements of 1A row of the periodic table) compound, preferably KOH, NaOH, LiOH and a mixture of thereby. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, the surface treatment solution may also include additives by 40 volume % in the total surface treatment solution. Example of the additives include ethylene glycol, di(ethylene glycol) butyl ether, 1-butanol, terpinol, α-terpinol, propylene glycol, methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, isobutanol, 2-(isopropylamino) ethanol, ethylene diamene, glycerol, hexyl alcohol, 2-methyl-2,4-pentandiol, acetonitrile, ethylene glycol butyl ether, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidione, diethylene glycol diethyl ether, diethylene glycol, proethylene glycol, xylene, toluene, tetradecane, dodecane, propylene glycol, triethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, hexylene glycol, butylene glycol, methyl ethyl ether and so on. These additives can be added depending on a desired condition since they control viscosity, adhesion to the surface of the base film, spread rate of the surface treatment solution, evaporation rate, and the like.
- (2) Concentration of the Surface Treatment Solution
- In case that KOH is selected as the surface treatment solution, the concentration of KOH is preferred from 0.1 to 10M, more preferred 1M. It is scarcely any effect of the surface treatment on a polyimide film when the concentration of the KOH is under 0.1M. It is not preferred because the property of the polyimide film may be changed when the concentration of the KOH is over 10M. According to a preferred embodiment, in case that the thickness of the polyimide film is 25 μm, over 10 μm of the polyimide film surface is reformed when the concentration of the surface treatment solution is over 10M. As a result, it becomes difficult to control the polyimide film.
- (3) Surface Treatment Time
- It is preferable that the surface treatment time be a time to form polyamates by reacting polyimides with KOH solution on the surface of the polyimide film. The conductive ink is discharged after the polyamates are formed from polyimides, so that the corresponding conductive circuit lines may be obtained. In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the surface treatment time is preferred from to 1 to 20 minutes, more preferred from 3 to 10 minutes. Enough polyamates are not formed when it is under 1 minute. On the other hand when it is more than 20 minutes, further polyamates are not formed due to stabilized reaction state on the surface of the polyimide.
- (4) Surface Treatment Temperature
- The temperature of the surface treatment is preferred in the range from 3 to 80° C. It may be difficult to discharge the surface treatment solution or the conductive ink from the nozzle of the ink-jet printer because the viscosity thereof becomes low when the temperature is under 3. The chemical property of the KOH solution may be changed and especially, compounds of the conductive ink may react each other when the temperature is over 80° C.
- (5) Surface Treatment Pressure
- It is preferred that the discharging of the surface treatment solution is performed under 0.8 to 1.5 atm pressure. In case that the pressure is out of the range, it is difficult to maintain the straightness of the surface treatment solution and control the drop size. Also, the surface treatment may be performed under air or nitrogen atmosphere. In the case of the surface treatment under nitrogen atmosphere, it is required a flow control of the surface treatment solution
- Herein, the alkali solution is not limited to KOH, it is apparent that NaOH or LiOH solution may be used.
- 3) Conductive Ink
- It is not limited especially the kind of metal nanoparticles included the conductive ink to form the fine circuit lines. Examples of the metal of the metal nanoparticles include gold, silver, copper, platinum, chromium, nickel, aluminum, titanium, palladium, tin, vanadium, zinc, manganese, cobalt, zirconium, and the like. These metals can be used also as a mixture of 2 or more. It is preferred gold, silver, copper and nickel among examples. The conductive ink is a colloid which the metal nanoparticles are dispersed by a dispersing agent. The preferred viscosity of the conductive ink for fine circuit printing is from 1 to 50 cps.
- 4) Reduction Atmosphere
- An acid such as acetic acid, formic acid, and hydrochloric acid may be used for forming the reduction atmosphere. Under the reduction atmosphere, polyamates become their stable state of the corresponding polyamic acid.
- 5) Discharging Method
- ‘Discharging method’ is a printing method which jets or discharges a desired low viscosity solution or colloid on an object by using nozzle or needle. A preferred method is an ink-jet printing method which uses the ink-jet printer. Herein, the ink-jet printing method is divided broadly by Piezo method and Thermal method in accordance with driving mechanism of the ink-jet printer head, but it is not limited to these methods. If a concentration of the surface treatment solution is controlled, an ink-jet printer for OA may also be possible.
- Here, number or kind of ink-jet printer heads, nozzle size of ink-jet printer heads and the like are described in detail in the above-mentioned embodiment, so that descriptions relating thereto will be omitted.
- The foregoing detailed description is intended to be illustrative rather than limiting, and the scope of the invention is to be measured by the following claims, including any equivalents thereto.
